As soon as Ji Yan opened her mouth, everyone looked at her. The displeasure of her sons, coupled with Tang Jingyuan's cold eyes, immediately suppressed Ji Yan's arrogance, and she couldn't help but feel weak inside.

But when she remembered her identity, she straightened her back again.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong? There's a pregnant woman at home who needs care, and you're not taking care of her. Instead, you're being so attentive to a perfectly normal person. Shouldn't I say anything? You didn't even greet anyone when you entered the house. Do you still have me, your mother, in your eyes?"

The last sentence reminded Lu Anning of the purpose of coming here today, and she couldn't help but smile. Now looking at what Ji Yan did to her, she felt nothing at all.

Lu An Ning smiled slightly, stood up and called out, "Madam Gu!"

Ji Yan frowned immediately: "What did you call me? There should be a limit to your temper. Don't think that I can't control you just because you're married."

The good atmosphere was completely ruined by Ji Yan.

Lu Yunxi took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "Mom, don't be angry. I just care about you and am jealous of you being nice to me, so I deliberately made you angry and wanted to get your attention. But I have to say, I did go a little too far. No matter what, you shouldn't even call me 'Mom'. After all, you were given your life by me."

Lu An Ning curled his lips, stared at Ji Yan and sneered, "I yelled, but I was afraid she couldn't bear it."

Ji Yan's expression suddenly changed. "Listen to what she said. What did she mean by 'I can't bear it'? Do you think I really dare not do anything to you?"

Just as they were about to quarrel, Gu Yue interrupted Ji Yan with a loud shout.

"Mom, do you have to make the house a mess every time?"

Gu Yue had a cold face, and there was obvious displeasure between his eyebrows.

Ji Yan was about to open her mouth to defend herself when Gu Yu interrupted her: "Mom, I really don't understand why you always target A Yue. She is your biological daughter. But every time you inexplicably protect an outsider and cause trouble for my younger sister, you are so weird."

Gu Huai then added, "My little sister hasn't even had a chance to sit down or drink her water, and you're already sulking me. Are you tired of even looking at us now?"

Ji Yan opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

She never imagined that in such a short period of time, the sons she had raised with so much difficulty would all speak up for Lu An Ning.

Sure enough, some things are difficult to change no matter how much she pays.

Gu Feng also said sternly, "Mom, if you have any dissatisfaction with Ayue, why not say it now? If there are any misunderstandings, then resolve them now. If not, then at least act like a mother. You have to understand that we owe her these past few years. What you should do is find a way to make up for the twenty years she has missed, instead of finding fault with her."

Ji Yan stared at her sons in amazement, too angry to speak.

"What kind of magic potion did she pour on you, letting you take turns lecturing me? I think you've all learned bad habits from this wild girl. You have no respect for your parents. She has no respect for her parents, so how can I not say anything to her?"

Lu Anning smiled. "You have no respect for your superiors or inferiors. That depends on whether you are worthy of my respect. You know best why I call you that. Why do you want me to tell you in public? What did you do to me in the temple?"

Ji Yan frowned: "You are my child, and whatever I want to do to you is natural."

"Yeah?"

Lu An Ning smiled faintly, which made Ji Yan feel uneasy. She didn't know what the question she asked was about.

At this time, Gu Zhiwei came up from upstairs. Probably sensing the displeasure of the head of the family, Ji Yan fell silent.

Gu Zhiwei noticed the subtle atmosphere in the living room and asked, "What were you talking about just now? It was so noisy."

Lu Anning nodded slightly and addressed him respectfully, "Dad! It's nothing. My brothers prepared some food for me, and I just didn't know which one to choose first."

Lu Anning did not forget the real purpose of her trip. Facing her majestic father, she couldn't help but wonder what he would think if he saw the identification results with his own eyes.

Seeing that she didn't make it public, Ji Yan thought that Lu An Ning was scared, so she snorted lightly, with a glint of pride in her eyes.

Gu Zhiwei looked at her thoughtfully and did not ask Lu An Ning in a hurry.

Gu Zhiwei went downstairs, and his sons restrained themselves a little, but still pushed the things they had prepared in front of Lu An Ning, hoping that she would like them.

Lu Anning treated everyone equally and ate a little of everything. Everyone in the family was happy, except Ji Yan and Lu Yunxi, who had cold faces and said nothing.

Tang Jingyuan was called aside by Gu Zhiwei to have tea and chat, and the atmosphere was pretty good.

Gu Feng suddenly took out a box and handed it to Lu An Ning, who was stunned.

"This is?"

"Fourth brother won't be home often, so I prepared this for you." He opened it for Lu An Ning, revealing a small and exquisite dagger. It was exquisitely carved, and the handle was inlaid with gems.

"This knife is sharpened, and I'm leaving it for you to carry with you for self-defense. Don't be fooled by its small size, but it can cut through metal like mud. Ordinary military knives are no match for it. Later, Fourth Brother will personally teach you some self-defense techniques, and you can have your brother-in-law practice with you more often. Then you don't have to worry about others plotting against you again."

Gu Feng spoke, occasionally glancing in the direction of Ji Yan and Lu Yunxi. Gu Feng was constantly on missions, and his every move exuded a stern, murderous aura. Even Ji Yan felt uneasy, and immediately looked away.

Lu An Ning played with the dagger in his hand and smiled playfully: "So powerful! Then... I have to try it."

As she spoke, she suddenly grasped the dagger and stabbed Lu Yunxi opposite her.
