Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“No.” Yan Zhengchen’s tone suddenly darkened. “Gong Lu, don’t be stubborn.”
On the other end of the line, Gong Lu could hear the unhappiness in Yan Zhengchen’s voice. He rubbed his nose helplessly. “I have decided. Let Jiaojiao take a look at tomorrow. I’m flying to White City tonight.”
He was in Shang Jing now, but he couldn’t escape Yan Zhengchen’s control.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.” Yan Zhengchen was instantly appeased, and his tone returned to normal.
They chatted for a while longer before Gong Lu hung up.
Knock knock knock.
The sound of knocking followed. Gong Lu stood up and opened the door.
A beautiful woman with fair skin and golden curly hair stood outside the door.
Gong Lu’s eyes were nearly identical to this beautiful woman’s, and his appearance was also sowhat similar.
“Mom,” Gong Lu called out softly.
“Co with ,” Catherine said coldly.
Gong Lu lowered his eyes and followed her downstairs.
When they reached the living room, Catherine sat down on the sofa and gestured for him to sit down as well.
Gong Lu sat down a distance away from her.
“What have you been up to?” Catherine asked.
“I’m busy with what Grandpa instructed to do,” Gong Lu said slowly.
“Are you helping Chi Jiao with sothing?” Catherine smiled mysteriously.
Gong Lu nodded indifferently. “You can say that. It’s my duty.”
If not for Ou Zhenglin and his wife, he would have died when he was a young child.
Ou Zhenglin and his wife had saved him. They asked him to be Jiaojiao’s guardian. When Jiaojiao needed help, he would unconditionally provide all the help he could. He agreed without hesitation.
On the one hand, it was to repay their kindness. On the other hand, he had grown up with Jiaojiao and sincerely treated her as his own younger sister.
Actually, it was not just him. Yan Zhengchen, Gu Xia, Chi Yexi, and Shen Liao were all the sa.
“I won’t interfere if you want to help Chi Jiao. I have a good impression of that young lady,” Catherine said slowly. “But you can’t ruin your life for soone else. Gong Lu, why didn’t you go to the eting I arranged for you yesterday?”
“Mother, I told you in advance that I won’t go.” The calm expression on Gong Lu’s face shifted slightly.
“Why not?” Catherine’s tone darkened.
“I have no intention of getting married.” Gong Lu looked up at her.
“You’re the heir to the Gong family.” Catherine slapped the arm of the sofa and looked at him coldly. “Whatever decision you make, you must first consider the interests of the Gong family. If you don’t plan to get married, how will your father trust you with the family business?”
“If I have to marry a woman to inherit the family business, I’ll give it up,” Gong Lu said without hesitation.
Smack!
As soon as he finished speaking, Catherine slapped him hard across the face.
Her beautiful face was filled with anger. Catherine glared at him. “I’ll treat what you just said as a joke. Don’t ever say that again!”
Gong Lu pursed his thin lips and did not speak.
However, her eyes remained stubborn.
Catherine looked at the bright red mark on Gong Lu’s cheek. Guilt flashed across her eyes.
She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
Catherine cald herself down and said slowly, “Gong Lu, tell , is the reason why you won’t get married related to Yan Zhengchen?”
