Chapter 859: Add More Fuel To The Fire. Gu Si Maximizes His Output.

At the moment, Gu Si was silent. Along the way, he had been thinking about what to say if his sister were to ask about Lu Chengzhou.

Should he tell her that her hypnotization was very successful and praise her for being impressive?

When Huo Zhi looked down, he saw that Gu Si was frowning. He wondered what difficult thing Gu Si was thinking about.

Elder Gu walked away only when he saw the lift door shut. Then, he picked up the call.

“Elder Gu, I thought we had already agreed on this! The military group should belong to me! Why is it in Gu Mang’s hands now?!” Second Old Master Lu asked through gritted teeth.

If it is given to Gu Mang, it is given to the Gu family! That is like giving the Gu family a bridal gown!

He had helped the Gu family so much and for what? Nothing!

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Elder Gu’s eyes, and he said unhurriedly, “The will was made by Matriarch Lu and it was announced at the funeral that it would go to our Gu Mang. How can it go to you?”

When Second Old Master Lu heard this, he tightened his grip on his phone fiercely. “What do you mean?”

Elder Gu laughed. “A will is a legally binding doc.u.ment that is verified by a lawyer team. The Lu family should reflect on this. Why would Matriarch Lu be more willing to give half of the family’s money to an outsider?”

With that, he hung up.

When Second Old Master Lu heard the cold dial tone from the phone, he slammed it on the car seat. Beside him, Lu Xiwei lowered her head and clenched her fists tightly against her lap.

…

Huo Zhi returned to the suite.

Jiang Shenyuan and the others were packing up the doc.u.ments and getting ready to leave.

“There are still some procedures we have to go through. When we’re done, we’ll give you a call.” Jiang Shenyuan grabbed his briefcase and stood up.

“Mm.” Gu Mang responded.

When Huo Zhi and Gu Si heard this, they knew that Gu Mang had accepted the inheritance.

Jiang Shenyuan waved to them. “Mr. Huo, Little Si.”

“Big Brother Jiang.” Gu Si greeted him politely. He removed his baseball cap and walked towards Gu Mang. “Sis, I’m back.”

Before leaving, Jiang Shenyuan turned to Gu Mang again. “Right, don’t worry about Jinyang. I’ll take good care of her.”

Gu Mang nodded. “Thank you.”

Jiang Shenyuan smiled. When he pa.s.sed by Huo Zhi, they nodded to each other.

The door to the suite closed and Huo Zhi looked in Gu Mang’s direction as he walked over.

“You hypnotized Lu Chengzhou and returned to Jijing Island,” Huo Zhi said as he sat down and looked at her. “That’s not like you at all.”

These days, he had been thinking.

Did she return to Jijing Island just because we turned the Lu family against her?

Gu Mang has always been rebellious. No one can make her do anything that she doesn’t want to. No one can threaten her into doing anything. There must be other reasons for her to return to Jijing Island.

Gu Mang was expressionless. Her exquisite eyes were cold but she did not look at Huo Zhi at all. She answered in an icy tone, “You’d better keep your nose out of my affairs.”

Lin Shuang could sense that Gu Mang’s temper was becoming even worse than before.

Gu Si was very displeased as well, so he added fuel to the fire. “Sis, a moment ago, he said that the two of you were going to get married soon right in front of Brother-in-Law. He even told him to attend your wedding.”

Huo Zhi was silent.

Gu Si and his mouth…

He called that man ‘brother-in-law’ and even complained about me to Gu Mang.

Lin Shuang narrowed her eyes and looked at Huo Zhi as if she were saying, “How could you say such a shameless thing?”

Gu Mang looked up swiftly and a cold look slowly appeared in her dark eyes. “Well, then he must be dreaming.”

She was speaking to Gu Si and also to Huo Zhi.

Gu Si raised his chin and laughed mercilessly. He sneered, “Did you hear that, dreamer?”

Huo Zhi said nothing in response.

Lin Shuang laughed impolitely when she saw Huo Zhi’s face cloud over.
