After severing ties, the cold-blooded family regretted it

Chapter 36 Gimmick!

"Gu Chi, how could you think like that?" Lu Meng shouted harshly, but in fact she felt a little guilty.

Because this was indeed what she thought, but she didn't expect that Gu Chi saw through it.

If the top two candidates were both from the Lu family, the hype effect would be doubled.

But they didn't expect that all these little plans were seen through by Gu Chi.

Before, he was honest and dutiful. Not to mention thinking about these things, he was also very immature in terms of the ways of the world.

He always gets nervous when speaking on the stage, unlike Lu Tianci who is so confident and at ease.

"What else? Isn't what I think the fact?" Lu Chi said indifferently.

"Gu Chi, don't push your luck. You've only moved out for two months, and you want to sever ties with the Lu family? Calling you an ungrateful person is an understatement." Zhao Rui's voice was sharp, as harsh as ever.

"Even if your sister has this plan, it's reasonable. Move my household registration back to me this afternoon and change my name to Lu Chi." Zhao Ziming's voice revealed unquestionable majesty.

In the past, transferring the household registration seemed like a gift to Gu Chi, but now it seems more like an order.

"Are you really bullying Gu Chi because there is no one around him?" A familiar voice came. Gu Chi turned around and saw an honest and simple-looking couple standing at the door.

The man had dark skin and was thin, while the woman was a little plump. They were Xu Qingwan's parents.

I also watched Gu Chi grow up.

"Who are you?" Zhao Rui looked at the other party with disdain, especially the slightly plump woman who had a huge Chanel logo made of two pieces of paper on her T-shirt.

You can tell it’s a cheap knockoff at first glance: “What a crappy school this is, there really are all kinds of people there.”

As he said this, he covered his nose with his hand with a look of disgust.

"We are the aunts of Gu Chi's neighbor. We are indeed short of money, but it is better than people like you who have no manners." Xu Qingwan's mother is usually kind. Even if the brother and sister make mistakes, she rarely loses her temper.

Because her name is Furong, Gu Chi always calls her Aunt Rong.

"You... this is our family affair, what does it have to do with you?" Lu Ziming's eyes fell on Xu Qingwan's father, the tall and thin man, "When did it become your turn as an outsider to point fingers?"

"We just can't stand you bullying others like this. Gu Chi has suffered so much injustice in your family. As the richest family, you can actually feed a half-grown man with malnutrition. How can you have the nerve to be a parent?"

Although Gu Chi was not afraid of the Lu family, the feeling of having relatives supporting him made him want to cry.

"Don't be afraid, Gu Chi, Uncle Xu will support you." Xu Jiancheng put his arm around Gu Chi's shoulders and spoke word by word.

"Uncle Xu, Aunt Rong, thank you." Gu Chi's voice was choked. It had been a long time since he had this feeling.

Aunt Rong hugged Gu Chi distressedly: "Poor child."

Lu Meng and Lu Ning, who were sitting on the side, felt indescribably moved when they saw the two honest and simple people.

Although they had no worries about food and drink in the Lu family, they rarely had such a close relationship with their mother. It seemed that all this was just Lu Tianci's privilege.

"Gu Chi has returned to the Lu family for two years, and we have never seen such an uncle and aunt. Why, now that Gu Chi has become the top scorer in the imperial examination, you are jumping out? It's nothing more than being driven by interests." Zhao Ziming looked as if he saw through everything.

In his eyes, it seems that everyone puts profit first.

This time, Gu Chi stood up to speak for Uncle Xu and Aunt Rong: "Lu Ziming, not everyone is like your Lu family, who only care about money and nothing else."

"From the moment my adoptive mother passed away, I have been an orphan. Don't forget that we have signed an agreement to sever our relationship. Don't force me to expose that agreement. You all know who will be in trouble then." "Let's go home." After Gu Chi finished speaking, he turned to look at Uncle Xu and Aunt Rong beside him. Several people gathered together and left the meeting room.

"Gu Chi, whatever you want to eat, Aunt Rong will make it for you." Aunt Rong looked at Gu Chi with heartache.

"We won't cook today. Let's go out to eat as a family. Uncle Xu will treat you to a good meal." As soon as Xu Jiancheng finished speaking, the two siblings cheered.

"Great!"

The couple was usually frugal, and Aunt Rong was a good cook, so they seldom went out to eat once a year.

"Gu Chi, we are really benefiting from you today." Xu Xin smiled heartlessly.

"Uncle Xu, Aunt Rong, I'm here to treat you all today." Gu Chi now had money in his pocket, so he was not worried. Not to mention treating you all, it was more than enough to even buy a house.

Xu Jiancheng, who was driving, looked at Gu Chi through the rearview mirror and did not take his words to heart.

"Okay!" He agreed with a smile.

The Lu family's side.

As soon as a few people entered the living room, Zhao Rui threw the bag in her hand onto the sofa.

"Look at this Gu Chi, Lu Meng, you two advised me to be nicer to him, but what's the result? He would rather go with a neighbor than come back with us." He sat on the sofa angrily.

Aunt Wu tactfully put the teacup away and turned to leave.

She is very happy now. After all, Young Master Gu Chi got the top spot in the imperial examination, which is really a great achievement.

It seems that I should contact him and congratulate him during my break in a couple of days.

Now Lu Meng really didn't want to care about these things, so she simply turned around and went upstairs without saying a word.

At this moment, Lu Ziming's assistant walked in from outside: "Chairman, the fireworks show is ready, when will it start?"

"Why bother with the fireworks show? Gu Chi has ruined our mood." Zhao Rui rolled her eyes and leaned back on the sofa, no longer looking as happy as before.

"Hold it, why not hold it? I want to let everyone in the city know that my two sons, Lu Ziming, got the top spot in the imperial examination, and the other got the second place!" Lu Ziming is indeed a veteran.

Even if Gu Chi does not acknowledge the Lu family’s relationship, it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, all he wanted was the gimmick of being the 'number one scholar'.

"Inform everyone. Regarding today's incident, I don't want anyone to publish false reports in major media outlets tomorrow. Do you understand, Mom?"

"Yes!" The assistant turned and left.

When Lu Ziming looked at Lu Tianci beside him again, a loving smile appeared on his face again: "You have passed the physical examination, so you can enjoy your vacation and pass the pilot's license. You don't have to worry about anything else, okay?"

Lu Tianci nodded in some surprise.

With a 'bang', huge fireworks outside bloomed in the sky, shining on everyone's face.

But at this moment, I no longer have the heart to appreciate this fleeting splendor.
