Although she knew Ji Yan had no feelings for her, Lu Anning's heart would grow colder every time she saw her. Fortunately, she no longer cared about these things.

Lu Anning smiled nonchalantly, "What did I say? You're so eager to conclude that I'm the one causing all this trouble. Someone who doesn't know would think I'm the daughter of your enemy. Madam Gu!"

She emphasized the last word, and everyone present changed their expressions.

Ding Wan glanced at Lu An Ning, a flicker of surprise in her eyes. Although she knew that Madam Gu didn't seem to treat her biological daughter well, she hadn't expected their relationship to be so bad. Last time, she seemed to have heard Lu An Ning call her "mother," but this time, it was directly changed to "Madam Gu."

Gu Zhiwei's face turned cold and he asked, "What did you call her just now? Even if your mother is wrong, she is the one who gave birth to you. How can you not even have the most basic respect? Why don't you admit your mistake now!"

Gu Yue also frowned, but looking at Lu An Ning's cold expression, he finally said nothing.

Lu An Ning sneered: "Respect? Why don't you ask her what she has done to me first? She doesn't want me, so do I have to cry and beg her to give me a little motherly love? I'm not that cheap!"

Gu Zhiwei heard something was wrong and looked at his wife.

"What do you mean by Ayue? Are you hiding something from me?"

Ji Yan was obviously feeling guilty, and his eyes were wandering.

"What else can I hide from you? It's either at home or in the temple. Don't be fooled by this girl! When we talk about milk production, we are talking about Yun Xi and the child. Do you want others to say that our Gu family doesn't even care about our own bloodline?"

Lu Anning emphasized again: "Dad, I still say the same thing. In this family, if I am here, she cannot be here. Are you really willing to let a woman who is full of calculations spend her life with my second brother?"

These words touched Gu Zhiwei's heart. He still prefers women with simpler minds.

The appearance of Lu Yunxi has indeed disturbed the peace of the family. Now the second child has caused such a scandal, and even Ding Wan is at odds with her.

He didn't dare to imagine what would happen to this family in the future if he insisted on letting Lu Yunxi stay in the Gu family.

"Alright. Ah Yu said he only wants the child, and I respect his decision. Right now, Yun Xi needs a good environment to nurture her baby, and she can't go to the mountains. Let her stay at the Gu family for the time being. After the baby is born, I will give her some money and send her abroad. From then on, she will have nothing to do with the Gu family anymore."

Ji Yan wanted to speak up for Lu Yunxi, but was scolded by Gu Zhiwei.

"Alright! Things have gotten to this point, and you still think it's not enough? Just do as I say. If she doesn't want to go back to the Gu family, then send her back to the mountain and arrange for a professional doctor to accompany her throughout the journey. At worst, we can have someone deliver fresh food to the mountain every day. It won't be a loss for her."

Ji Yan opened her mouth, but only uttered two words in the end.

"All right!"

Lu Anning glanced at the person on the bed, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Dad, I hope you remember what I said today. If you insist on keeping this person, I don't mind causing unrest in the Gu family."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yan, who had been suppressing his temper, became angry again.

"What are you talking about! You don't even take me seriously, and now you're even threatening your father. Don't think that just because you married into the Tang family and have Tang Jingyuan backing you up, you can ignore everyone. Even if you're my daughter, a married daughter is like spilled water, and you don't have the final say in the Gu family anymore."

"Yeah?"

Lu Anning curled his lips and looked at Gu Zhiwei with a half-smile: "Dad, is that what you mean? I hold 15% of the Gu family's shares. Does that mean my words have no effect in the Gu family?"

“That’s enough!”

Gu Zhiwei was annoyed by the commotion and said sternly, "It's settled."

"husband!"

Before Ji Yan finished speaking, Gu Zhiwei glared at her and said, "If you keep making trouble, I will send you abroad right now."

Now, Ji Yan was completely obedient.

Gu Zhiwei stared at the woman lying on the bed, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.

In the past, he only cared about his wife's happiness, and adopting a daughter was not a big deal. But now it seems that Lu Yunxi, this woman, must not be kept.

"Ayue, arrange for the driver to come pick us up. After we get back, if anyone dares to mess around under my nose again, I will show no mercy, no matter who it is."

After Gu Zhiwei made some harsh remarks, Ji Yan's face turned ugly. She didn't dare to say anything more at this critical moment. She just glanced at Lu An Ning with an unfriendly look when she left.

Lu Anning watched Ji Yan carefully help Lu Yunxi get into the car, feeling vaguely worried.

If she didn't have a child in her belly, she really wouldn't let Lu Yunxi return to the Gu family.

Ten months of pregnancy wasn't that long. Thinking of the innocent child in her belly, Lu An Ning felt a little reluctant. She didn't know if letting go at this moment would bring more trouble in the future.

Lu Yunxi's existence is like a cancer. In eight months, there are too many variables.

Fortunately, Gu Yu traveled extensively throughout the year and rarely spent time at home. If Lu Yunxi wanted to use the time she was pregnant to rekindle her relationship with Gu Yu, it would likely be difficult.

"Just now, you could have insisted on sending her abroad to nurture the baby."

"I know Lu Yunxi too well. She's restless even living in the mountains, let alone sending her abroad. It's better to keep her by my side so I can always know what she's doing. It's better than her constantly bothering the baby in her belly. After all, the child is innocent!"

With such a mother, Lu Anning didn't even know whether this child should come into this world.
