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...
Gu Zhiwei was in high spirits and looked genuinely happy, but Lu Anning vaguely felt that something was wrong.
She doesn't like to be too ostentatious!
"Back then, the two families were talking about arranging a marriage for the two of you. It shows how wonderful fate is. After all these twists and turns, you two have finally come together. This is a great joyous occasion! You must prepare your wedding well."
Ji Yan reminded him, "It's a banquet and a big wedding. We have to take our time with everything. Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?"
Gu Zhiwei laughed and said, "I'm so happy! After all these years, I finally found this child. As a father, I can personally send my daughter to marry, and my life will be complete. Before, I was always worried that I would not be able to catch up and leave regrets."
After a few drinks, Gu Zhiwei said a lot of things, and even Lu Anning couldn't tell which ones were true and which ones were false. From time to time, her heart trembled, as if someone had touched her inadvertently, and she couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
The majestic man not far away is his father?
Before this meal, she had believed that this man, and even this family, had no feelings for her. They only cared about profit, but now, she was a little confused.
"Your original name wasn't good. Dad once gave you a character called Yue. It means the divine pearl given to me by God. Dad will give you a new name, Gu Yue. Do you like it?"
Lu Anning was stunned for a moment. She didn't feel much about the name.
Guyue!
It sounds like a good idea. Is this what they once expected of themselves?
"Can."
"I want to tell everyone that my daughter, Gu Zhiwei, is no ordinary person. As for the wedding, Jingyuan, I don't care what you planned before, but now Yueyue is back and she is my daughter. What others have, my daughter can only be better. If the Tang family is perfunctory, I will not agree."
Lu Anning frowned. Was this a disguised way of asking Tang Jingyuan for a betrothal gift?
She almost forgot that she and Tang Jingyuan had a flash marriage, without any fancy rules. Now that the Gu family brought it up, could it be...
Gu Yue also spoke at this time: "I remember correctly, you have a son. My sister is a girl, and if she marries you, she will become your stepmother..."
Seeing that something was wrong, Lu Anning immediately interrupted Gu Yue.
"Today's focus isn't on my marriage to Jing Yuan. I married him willingly. Even if I come back, it doesn't mean you have the right to interfere in my life. I hope you understand!"
"You kid, your elder brother is planning something for you, why are you..."
"Jing Yuan is fine, you don't have to worry. I want to know, when will the equity transfer agreement be signed?"
They almost missed the point, luckily Lu Anning reacted quickly.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Lu Anning seemed to guess why they called Tang Jingyuan over.
Could it be that they want to use the wedding as an excuse to ask for a large amount of money from the Tang family lions?
Lu Anning suppressed the doubts in her heart. If the Gu family wanted to do something about this, she would not agree.
Gu Zhiwei sighed softly, "You're quite clear-headed, kid. You're like me in that respect! Something as big as a share transfer shouldn't be signed casually. When the Gu family holds a banquet, I'll formally introduce you to everyone and sign the share transfer agreement in front of them. This will also show everyone how much our family values you. Do I think this arrangement is sincere enough?"
Lu Anning nodded with satisfaction. When she had negotiated the terms with them, she had anticipated that the Gu family would make a big move. She could accept all these arrangements.
Ji Yan coughed lightly and said, "I have one more thing. Although Gu Yue is back, she's already married, and I'm always lacking someone of my own by my side. Yaoyao is helpless, and since I mistakenly recognized her before, I don't want to drive her away because of this. The fact that she can enter this door means that we are destined to be together. Yaoyao must stay too, and no one can drive her away."
Lu Anning raised his eyes and happened to see Lu Yunxi lowering her head, pretending to be embarrassed.
"Mom, since my sister is back, I...why not move out?"
"Where are you going to move to? You have no relatives or friends, and you have forgotten the past. How can I be at ease? Gu Yue is my daughter, and you are also my goddaughter. Your father has already agreed to this matter, and you don't have to change your mind in the future."
Ji Yan patted Lu Yunxi's hand firmly, indicating that she should be at ease.
"But, I..."
"Okay! Just do as your mother wishes. It's not like the Gu family can't afford to support you. Just live here peacefully and accompany your mother so that she won't be depressed."
Everyone is satisfied with this arrangement and is happy.
Gu Huai jokingly said, "When the fourth child has time to come back, I wonder how he will react if he sees two more sisters in the house out of nowhere."
Gu Yue turned sideways and asked Lu An Ning: "What about...Xie Lin?"
Lu Anning thought for a moment and said, "I'll talk to you alone about the company's affairs later."
She had some preliminary ideas, but she didn't know whether her elder brother would agree.
Xie Lin only has one team, so it's difficult to balance both. R&D is ongoing on both fronts, and stopping either one is untenable. She's wondering if there's a way to achieve the best of both worlds.
Everyone seemed to be able to talk to Lu Anning, and the atmosphere wasn't as tense as before. Lu Yunxi, on the other hand, although she was sitting next to Ji Yan, clearly felt that she was no longer the focus of everyone's attention. However, at this moment, she couldn't make a scene.
Lu An Ning glanced at her, curled his lips, and was too lazy to step on her again.
Thinking back to when she said she would take everything from her, it seemed even more ridiculous now.
In the end, Lu Yunxi probably couldn't sit still anymore, so she made an excuse that she wasn't feeling well and went straight upstairs.
Everyone looked at each other and then realized the difference.
