Chapter 140: Which Is More Important

“How dare you!”
Upon hearing Zhao Wenting’s words, Lu Qingzhuo suddenly slapped the armrest of the sofa.
His face was as calm as water as he stared at Zhao Wenting. The pressure of a superior was released, so much so that even a lawyer who was used to big scenes did not dare to look him in the eye.
Zhao Wenting nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but he still braced himself and said,
“These are all the facts, Mr. Lu. You’ve already publicly revealed the identity of the young master and acknowledged his existence. When Mrs. Lu had the young master, she was in the midst of her engagement with Mr. Gu. I heard from the He family of imperial capital that even though you and Mrs. Lu were an accident, it was a fact that they were together. After knowing that they were your wife and children, you immediately gave them a title. This confirms that young master Gu is the victim of this matter.”
“This kidnapping incident was caused by He Nantian and Chen Meiyu’s insatiable greed. Young Master Gu’s initial reason for going to the wild sea was not to conspire with them, but to save Mrs. Lu and the young master. As for why he suddenly went crazy, we need to wait for the doctor’s assessment to see if young master Gu had too many emotional fluctuations at that time and lost his normal thinking ability.”
In China, crimes committed by mental patients were not illegal.
Zhao Wenting was indeed the exclusive lawyer of the Gu family. He was very good at twisting black and white.
Unfortunately, the Lu family did not do it perfectly. Admitting that Lu Shouxin was the child of the Lu family was a stain on their morals no matter what, whether or not they were willing to do it.
“I’ve heard the Gu family’s request. From now on, Guanghui lawyers will contact the Gu family on behalf of the Lu family,” Lu Qingzhuo said.
“Mr. Lu! If we really go to court, it won’t be easy to turn things around. I hope you’ll reconsider, or you can let me meet Old Madam Lu…”
Old Madam Lu and Lu Qingzhuo had different ways of doing things. One was indirect and the other was tough. Moreover, Old Madam Lu was a woman. Women were always more emotional than men. Perhaps, for the sake of the reputation of her granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson, she would also choose to take a step back.
“My grandmother hasn’t been feeling well recently, so I’ll be in charge of everything in the Lu family.” Lu Qingzhuo didn’t want to let these small matters disturb his grandmother.
“Mr. Lu! Please reconsider –” Zhao Wenting wanted to say more, but he was interrupted by He Youran.
“If we’re willing to take a step back, will Gu Zimu stop harassing me from now on?” He Youran was really tired of Gu Zimu’s pestering.
Although their relationship started with a marriage contract, it had never really started. Yet, this man was using the previous marriage contract to challenge her bottom line step by step, touching her reverse scale!
“If this is Mrs. Lu’s request, I’ll tell Master Gu and Mrs. Gu when I get back.”
Me could have any women they wanted as long as they money?
He Youran was beautiful, but she was already a married woman. As the future heir of the Gu family, Gu Zimu couldn’t keep thinking about other people’s wives, could he?
In Zhao Wenting’s mind, Gu Zimu was just unwilling to accept it. His possessiveness was causing trouble. As long as this matter was settled, master Gu and Mrs. Gu would naturally have a heart-to-heart talk with young master Gu.
“Sure, but other than that, the Gu family also needs to show sincerity.” He Youran smiled slightly. Naturally, she could see that Zhao Wenting was looking down on her. “Since it’s the Gu family of Rong city, then they can stay in Rong city forever.”
“Mrs. Lu, what do you mean?” Zhao Wenting frowned.
“What my wife means is that she doesn’t want to see any members of the Gu family appear in the imperial capital in the future. Anyone from the Gu family… anyone!” Lu Qingzhuo repeated word by word.
“Mr. Lu, this…”
If they really did as Lu Qingzhuo and He Youran requested, then the Gu family of Rong city would have to spend their entire life doing business in Rong city!
“That’s right. I hope master Gu and Mrs.. Gu can think it over. Is money more important or is their son more important?”
