Chapter 1138: Absent For The Ancestral Worship CeremonyTranslator:Henyee TranslationsEditor:Henyee Translations

Qiao Xi picked up her phone and made a call. Soon, a respectful voice came from the other end. Eldest Miss.

The Lu family will probably call the Medical Association to treat someone in the family. Arrange for two young doctors to come over.

The person on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment. The Lu family? I heard that Chairman Lu has been unconscious for a few days. Could it be him?

It's him, Qiao Xi replied casually. She needed people to witness Old Master Lu's awakening. Moreover, they couldn't be from the Lu family. Otherwise, it would be meaningless.

Lu Yan probably did not expect that his plans would be foiled by her. The person who would be embarrassed tomorrow would definitely not be Gu Zheng!

The next morning.

Everyone woke up early to freshen up. At nine o'clock, they gathered outside the ancestral hall for the ancestral worship ceremony.

At this moment, the people from the Medical Association arrived. Lu Xiang warmly invited them in. My father has been unconscious for 10 days. Please see what's going on and let me know when he'll wake up.

Hearing Lu Xiang's words, the Lu family's family doctor took the initiative to give up his position. He let those from the Medical Association take the old master's pulse.

These two people from the Medical Association were still very young. They had just entered the Medical Association. After one of them checked the old master's pulse, he could not help but frown.

Was Chairman Lu unconscious? He looked like he was sleeping!

He could not help but look at the Lu family's family doctor. The doctor's eyes were filled with helplessness and doubt. The people from the Medical Association were enlightened. It seemed that Chairman Lu was not unconscious at all. He was clearly pretending to be sick. The Lu family was clearly making things difficult for their eldest miss!

The old master was clearly pretending to be sick but even invited people from the Medical Association over. Did he have nothing better to do?

Lu Xiang looked worried. Doctor, how's my father's condition?

The two people from the Medical Association: How could this person have the cheek to ask them that? The so-called patient was only pretending!

The two of them remained silent. Lu Xiang thought that Old Master Lu's condition had worsened and was instantly at a loss. However, Lu Yan, who was at the side, felt relieved.

He knew that his grandfather doted on him and treated him very well, but in this situation, it was best if his grandfather was unconscious. As long as his grandfather did not wake up, they had a reason to stop Gu Zheng from entering the ancestral hall.

If his grandfather really woke up, even if he hated Gu Zheng, he had to forgive Gu Zheng on the account of Lu Qingyun. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the old master had always been a good father who doted on Lu Qingyun. Now that his grandson had finally been found, he could not criticize him. Otherwise, the image he had maintained all these years would be ruined.

When the people from the Medical Association confirmed that Old Master Lu was not unconscious, they looked at Lu Yan's expression and instantly understood the Lu family's thoughts. The Lu family really knew how to scheme!

Lu Yan said gently, Doctors, Grandpa needs to recuperate. Why don't we talk in the living room?

The two of them looked at each other and knew what Lu Yan meant.

Lu Yan was clearly afraid that they would notice that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked them to leave. After the ancestral worship ceremony ended and the Lu family achieved their goal, he would invite them in to treat the old master. At that time, the old master would wake up. Everything would seem reasonable and logical.

However, Lu Xiang was not as smart. She looked at Lu Yan in confusion. The people from the Medical Association were here to treat the old master, so why was Lu Yan chasing them out? Could it be that he did not want the old master to wake up?

Lu Yan glanced at Lu Xiang with a hint of warning in his eyes. Lu Xiang lowered her head and did not dare to voice the doubts in her heart.

At this moment, the ancestral worship ceremony was about to start, but Old Master Lu still had not appeared. All these years as the head of the family, he had never missed the ancestral worship ceremony. At this moment, only Lu Xiang and Lu Yan were standing in front.

Everyone looked at each other. Could it be that the old master was really dying? Otherwise, why didn't he appear?

Didn't they say that the old master's coma was a rumor? Why isn't he attending the ancestral worship ceremony, then?

That's right! Previously, I heard that he fell sick from anger because of Gu Zheng. Later on, Gu Zheng proved that this matter had nothing to do with him. At that time, Mrs. Gu even suspected that the old master was pretending to be sick in public! I thought

How is that possible? If the old master had really woken up, he would definitely have come to attend the ceremony. This is a huge matter. It's absolutely impossible for him to be absent, so he must still be unconscious!

Everyone had different expressions and could not help but look at Gu Zheng. Old Master Lu had not woken up even after a long time, so how could Gu Zheng, this sinner, have the cheek to participate in the ancestral worship ceremony?

When Qiao Xi arrived, the surrounding atmosphere was extremely subtle, and strange gazes would be cast over from time to time. However, she didn't panic in the slightest and still stood by Gu Zheng's side with an indifferent expression.
