Chapter 836: Want An Apology

The corners of Gu Zheng’s mouth slowly curled up, while the Lu family’s faces were still pale. They were thinking about how to persuade Gu Zheng.

Qiao Xi said casually, “Second Miss Lu, do you have a grudge against Lu Yan? He clearly didn’t have to go to jail, but you made things worse by causing a scene.”

The higher-ups of Lu Corporation looked at Lu Xiang angrily. They did not really care about Lu Yan, but Lu Yan was now the acting president of Lu Corporation. He represented Lu Corporation’s image. If he went to jail, Lu Corporation’s reputation would be completely ruined.

At this moment, a higher-up broke down and begged, “President Gu, we’re willing to destroy all the perfumes and compensate at twice the price. We’ll give you a total of 1.8 billion!”

Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully. The Lu family had gone from asking them to withdraw the lawsuit to letting them still sell the perfumes to compensating 1.8 billion. Now, they had decided to destroy all the perfumes and would still compensate them 1.8 billion.

The Lu family’s constant concessions meant that they no longer had the confidence. Originally, they could still rely on selling the perfumes to recover a portion of their capital. Now, they had reluctantly given up.

Gu Zheng ignored the higher-up’s words and continued holding Qiao Xi’s hand as they slowly walked out of the banquet hall.

Everyone stopped breathing. The air around them seemed to have frozen. They had already given in to him to this extent, so why was President Gu still not satisfied?

The higher-ups of Lu Corporation looked terrified. “President Gu, what else do you want?”

Qiao Xi stopped in her tracks and turned around to glance at everyone. She chuckled. “Ah Zheng has never made demands. He doesn’t lack money and isn’t interested in that 1.8 billion. He doesn’t have time to go to court with Lu Yan either. He’s only unwilling to forgive the Lu family because of Second Miss Lu’s words.”

She said unhurriedly, then looked at Lu Xiang casually.

“Why don’t we just get Lu Xiang to apologize?! As long as Second Miss Lu is sincere, Ah Zheng might withdraw the lawsuit. Anyway, it doesn’t matter to us. Whether we sue or not depends on our mood. Whether you apologize or not depends on you.”

......

Qiao Xi’s words instantly caused a commotion. Everyone had different expressions, but most of them were angry, especially Second Miss Lu. Her expression was gloomy like ink, and her hands could not help but tremble.

Everyone knew clearly in their hearts that the couple really did not care. The more Qiao Xi did not care, the angrier Lu Xiang became.

Gu Zheng held Qiao Xi’s hand and did not care about what she said at all. He looked at her with doting eyes. “Is the food here not to your liking? I’ll get the chef to prepare a new table of food for you when we get home.”

The two of them chatted casually as if no one was around. They did not care about the Lu family at all.

“Chairman… Chairman Lu!” The higher-up of Lu Corporation’s voice trembled as they looked at Old Master Lu in despair. They hoped that he could stand up and take charge of the situation. Otherwise, Lu Corporation would be destroyed in Lu Yan’s hands.

Old Master Lu’s expression was terrifyingly gloomy, and his old face was filled with malevolence. His gaze was filled with anger and disgust, but he still had to humble himself to please Gu Zheng.
