The true heiress returns, and at the recognition banquet, Lu Anning publicly rejects the marriage, only to be sent to a man's bed by her "loving" mother.
"Just accept your fat...
Before Zhong Ling received the news, the Gu family had already come to the company. However, the person who came to the company this time was Lu Anning's third brother, Gu Huai.
Gu Huai came to Haitian’s office building to find her in person, and caused quite a stir as soon as he appeared.
When the two young ladies at the front desk saw that it was the movie emperor himself, they were so excited that they almost fainted and even forgot their own duties.
Zhong Ling knocked on the door hurriedly and came in: "Mr. Lu, someone from the Gu family is here."
Lu An Ning raised his eyebrows, thinking that it was his elder brother who came.
"He's such a busy man, yet he's willing to condescend to come see me. I'd really like to meet him."
Is it still because of Liu Lin?
She began to wonder whether Gu Yu went to the laboratory to find Liu Lin because of their personal feelings or to lobby for Gu Yue.
"Take Gu Yue to the reception room. I'll be there soon."
Zhong Ling was embarrassed: "Mr. Lu, it's not Mr. Gu who came, it's the movie star, Gu Huai. He's still downstairs, and he's already surrounded by people."
Gu Huai!
Lu Anning had seen Gu Huai's influence before, and her temples throbbed as she recalled the mess she had helped him clean up in Jiangcheng. Before she even went downstairs, she could already guess what was happening downstairs.
Fearing that the situation would get out of control, Lu Anning did not dare to delay and personally went downstairs to bring the person up.
As soon as Lu An Ning showed up, the others could only disperse unwillingly.
Coming out of the elevator, Gu Huai saw Lu An Ning's cold face and felt a little dissatisfied.
"What? I took a break from my busy schedule to come and see you, and you're not happy? You, my own child, are not cute at all."
This sentence again!
Lu An Ning paused and turned back to look at him suddenly. The cold gaze made Gu Huai realize what he had said and he put away his cynical smile.
"You Gu family members all think that being cute can be eaten?"
Gu Huai didn't answer. Growing up in the Gu family, they had never thought about the issue of eating. Since childhood, the only thing they thought about was whether they liked to eat or not.
In the reception room, Zhong Ling brought in tea. Gu Huai thought she looked familiar and exclaimed, "Huh?" But he was surprised to find that Zhong Ling didn't even look at him. She put down the tea and walked out.
"You teach everyone around you to be like you."
"What's wrong with that?"
"Too boring."
Gu Huai spread his hands, took a sip of hot tea, and was quite satisfied.
He leaned back on the sofa, his long legs folded together, his handsomeness tinged with laziness. As expected of an award-winning actor, the image was absolutely stunning no matter from which angle you looked at it.
Lu Anning smiled faintly and got straight to the point.
"Mr. Gu came here specially, could it be that he just wanted to tell me that I'm too boring?"
"I told you you're boring! Don't you know to take this opportunity to catch up with me and get closer to me? Everyone at home only knows how to please us."
"The Gu family has always been high and mighty, and haven't you grown tired of this kind of flattery and fawning? You said you already have someone to fawn over, and you don't need me."
Gu Huaijun frowned, and suddenly realized that if he continued chatting like this, he would have to get up and leave soon.
"Forget it." He sighed. "I just happened to have a few days off, so I came to see you. You helped me back in Jiangcheng. This time, I'll treat you to a meal."
Lu Anning raised his eyebrows. Was it necessary for him to go there in person for such a small matter?
"That's it?"
The dark eyes stared at him with interest: "Actor Gu is not in a good mood today."
Gu Huai couldn't help but laugh: "I still can't hide it from you. It's true that we're having dinner, but I'm not the only one. My family wants to invite you out for dinner, and I'm here to pass on the message."
Lu Anning didn't think that the Gu family would be so kind as to suddenly invite her to dinner. Thinking of the family's reaction when they got the paternity test results, she was afraid that this meal would be a Hongmen Banquet.
Without waiting for Lu An Ning to speak, Gu Huai emphasized again: "You come alone!"
Lu Anning looked up at him, becoming even more certain that this meal was not simple.
Gu Huai left after sitting for a short while. Even after he left, Lu An Ning did not give any definite information, but only said that she would consider it.
This incident by the Gu family really piqued her curiosity.
As the workday neared its end, a sudden downpour began outside, and the city, shrouded in dark clouds, was plunged into darkness in the blink of an eye. Lu Anning stood in front of the French window for a long time, and only when Zhong Ling reminded her did she get up and leave, grabbing her bag.
Since that was the case, she would go and see what the Gu family was up to.
The Gu family made an appointment at Yunxianlou. When Tang Jingyuan was told, he happened to be planning to take Lu Anning there for dinner. Fang Le had already booked a table at Yunxianlou.
"I'll go and come find you when I'm done."
I guess she can't eat enough at the Gu family's place.
In the car, Lu Anning looked at the crowded traffic and his mood returned to calm. The thought of seeing them again made him feel nothing.
When she first saw the agarwood pendant, all she wanted was to find her family, which was completely different from her current state of mind.
At the entrance of Yunxian Tower, the housekeeper was already waiting. Due to the traffic jam, Lu Anning and Tang Jingyuan were a few minutes late.
The housekeeper knew Lu Anning, but was stunned when he saw someone else next to her.
"this……"
"Don't worry! I'll go with you alone."
She nodded to Tang Jingyuan and followed the housekeeper to Chunyuan, which was booked by the Gu family. Tang Jingyuan and his family had booked Fenglin for many years, which were two completely different directions.
In the box, all the people from the Gu family were present except the fourth brother, whom Lu Anning had never met, including Lu Yunxi.
As time passed, Gu Zhiwei gradually lost his patience.
"Ah Huai, are you sure you got the time and place right? Why haven't you come yet?"
Usually, they were the ones who made others wait for them, but this was the first time.
