At this time, six suits were neatly arranged in the living room downstairs, three for men and three for women. They had different styles, but one could tell at a glance that they were very valuable.

Lu Anning looked at the dazzling dress in front of her, and suddenly remembered the dress chosen by Lu Yunxi, and couldn't help but smile.

I'm afraid this dress was sent to the wrong place!

As soon as the things were delivered, Gu Yue called.

Lu Anning answered the call, turned on the speaker, and sat down with Tang Jingyuan to drink tea.

Gu Yue waited for a long time but heard no sound, so he cleared his throat and took the lead in breaking the deadlock.

"Have you received your dresses? Both of yours are ready. I'll send you the schedule for the banquet later. The Gu family's car will pick you up at the hotel in advance. If you have any comments on the schedule, you can raise them now."

Gu Yue acted completely businesslike and didn't mention a word about what happened that night, as if nothing had happened.

Lu Anning took a sip of tea and smiled after he finished speaking: "You think that what happened last night can be treated as if nothing happened, right?"

On the other end of the phone, Gu Yue tightened his grip on the phone, his expression darkening.

"You still want to hold someone responsible? Yaoyao's face has been burned, and you haven't been punished, have you? Enough is enough!"

Lu Anning smiled. "I wasn't punished because I resisted so hard. Otherwise, I would still be locked up in the basement of your Gu family! You think that once I leave the Gu family, this matter will be over, right?"

"You're the one who hurt him, and you're still holding him responsible? Impossible! Dad won't agree to that. You keep challenging his bottom line, and you'll end up losing everything."

"Just because you're afraid of him doesn't mean I'm afraid too. For me, returning to the Gu family or not doesn't mean much anymore. The contract for the joint R&D between the two companies has already been signed. If I don't return to the Gu family, the R&D won't be affected. In fact, you don't really welcome me back. Otherwise, let's just forget about it! I don't even want that 10% stake anymore."

"Are you kidding me? If you say you won't reply, then don't. The invitation has already been sent out. If you cancel it now, wouldn't that make everyone in Kyoto laugh? That's 10% of the Gu family's shares. Are you willing to give it up?"

Gu Yue was obviously a little anxious. He didn't expect Lu Anning to say that.

As he spoke, he walked upstairs to his father's study. Through the phone, he really couldn't tell what Lu An Ning was really thinking. If nothing else, he could only let his father speak.

This matter concerns the reputation of the Gu family, and it is not something he can decide.

"Wouldn't it be better for you if I didn't go back? After all, I'd take 10% as soon as I came back, and you'd be a little unwilling to accept that! If I don't go back, you can rest easy."

The study door opened, Gu Yue placed his cell phone on the desk and turned on the speaker.

"Little sister, this is a serious matter. Let Dad talk to you, okay?"

Gu Zhiwei was confused. He had already asked the boss to send the dress over, which was also a way to give the girl a way out. Shouldn't she take advantage of the situation?

Why does the boss look so nervous?

He was a little confused: "What's the matter? It's so serious that even your eldest brother can't make a decision. Ayue, are you not satisfied with the dress you sent?"

Lu Anning was still a little unaccustomed to this new address, and after a while he said, "I've thought about it, and I'll send the dress back. We've already signed a contract for cooperation, and considering that unpleasant memory yesterday, I don't think it's necessary for me to return to the Gu family. Anyway, you guys don't welcome me. Forget it! A forced melon won't be sweet."

When Gu Zhiwei heard this, his face changed immediately.

"Nonsense! All the arrangements for the banquet have been made. Can you just say you don't want to go back and then not go? What will those people outside think of the Gu family and me then? Leaving your own daughter outside and finding an adopted daughter to raise by your side, isn't that a joke?"

"You just want Professor Liu's team, and I just want to use the Gu family's medicinal fields. Let's simplify the problem. Why make it so complicated? I know you all don't like me."

"I said, no. The party will go on as usual. If you're unhappy about what happened last night, you can ask for anything."

Lu An Ning raised the corner of her mouth. This was exactly what she was waiting for.

"I just feel like I have no status in the Gu family. Even though I own 10% of the shares, I don't feel like I have a say. I just don't like being controlled. What can I do?"

Gu Zhiwei was speechless. To put it bluntly, he was still unhappy about punishing her.

He clenched his fist and said, "Okay! You don't like being controlled. When you come back, I won't use the Gu family's rules to restrain you. I will give you absolute right to speak."

Lu Anning sighed softly: "It's true that Lu Yunxi spoke rudely to me. I always feel unhappy in my heart."

Gu Zhiwei gritted his teeth and said, "On the day of the banquet, I can make her apologize to you in public and let everyone see the difference between a real daughter and an adopted daughter. Are you satisfied with this?"

Lu Anning pretended to be embarrassed: "Wouldn't this be too unfair to you?"

“How could it be!”

Gu Zhiwei smirked, "You're my biological daughter, and I love you dearly. It's settled then. On the day of the banquet, I'll have your eldest brother come pick you up in person, okay?"

"Thank you, Dad."

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Lu Anning's face disappeared.

Yesterday, she saw Gu Zhiwei's arbitrary behavior in the Gu family. How could a man like him bow his head so easily?

But just now, he almost granted every request, which made Lu An Ning a little confused.

The Gu family is unable to gain benefits from him, or are they planning to target the Tang family?

"As a father, I'm afraid he's targeting you, Jingyuan. No matter what he asks for at the banquet, you don't have to agree. I'll take care of everything."

Tang Jingyuan smiled confidently, "It doesn't matter if I hide behind you. Don't worry! I have my own plans."
