The father and daughter chatted in the study for a long time until Lu An Ning came out and happened to meet Ji Yan who came out of Lu Yunxi's room with a CD. They were both stunned.

Gu Zhiwei followed closely behind, and the three of them looked at each other. Ji Yan's heart sank, and he felt something was wrong.

If there was anything, her husband needed to avoid his sons and talk to Lu Anning alone.

Could it be that she discovered something?

Seeing Lu An Ning's hands empty, Ji Yan was relieved. Seeing Lu An Ning walking towards her, she immediately straightened her back, waiting for Lu An Ning to bow to her.

Just now, maybe her husband called Lu Anning to the study and scolded her. He has always been very strict with his children.

Lu Anning glanced at the proud Ji Yan, curled the corners of his mouth, and smiled sarcastically. Without even looking at her, he turned and walked down the stairs, leaving Ji Yan standing there alone, her face full of shock.

Until Gu Zhiwei walked up to her, she pointed at Lu Anning's back in frustration.

"Did you see that? She doesn't even take me seriously. She's your good daughter. Aren't you going to take care of it?"

Unexpectedly, her husband, who had always doted on her, suddenly changed his expression and glared at Ji Yan.

"That's enough! Don't you understand why she's like this? You don't even realize how much trouble you've gotten yourself into."

Ji Yan wondered how much trouble she could cause by teaching her daughter a lesson.

Gu Zhiwei lowered his voice and warned his wife: "If you continue like this, you will cry later."

Ji Yan's head was buzzing with excitement from the sudden scolding, and she was even more confused about what Lu An Ning had said to her husband that could have caused such a big change in his attitude.

She wanted to ask something else, but Gu Zhiwei didn't give her a chance and walked downstairs.

There was a harmonious scene downstairs. Tang Jingyuan was surrounded by several brothers-in-law who asked about Lu Anning's usual preferences and were warned from time to time to be nice to Lu Anning.

Although Gu Feng was an old friend of Tang Jingyuan, at this critical moment, he still used his brother's identity to put pressure on others.

"Third brother, I trust your character, but I still have to say one thing: you can't let my little sister suffer any injustice. Otherwise, even if we brothers can't beat you, we won't give up easily."

Tang Jingyuan smiled helplessly: "Then you can ask Ningning if I have ever wronged her. If she is unhappy, I will be there for her at any time and will never fight back."

Maybe Bai Lu had made the girl feel a little aggrieved before. But now that she was gone, even if Bai Lu came back, he would never let An Ning feel sad again.

Lu Anning happened to hear this scene when he went downstairs, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Fortunately, this is a tea party, not a drinking party. Otherwise, I would have to be the driver again tonight."

Several men turned around and couldn't help laughing.

Tang Jingyuan glanced at her and saw that she looked normal, so he assumed nothing unpleasant had happened. The two of them smiled knowingly and were about to go back.

Gu Zhiwei walked downstairs leisurely. "It's better to go home early! Housekeeper, put some bird's nest and ginseng in the car and make soup for us later. There's a lot of work at the company, so don't get too tired. Take care of yourself. Or, I can have the chef at home send a nutritious meal to your company every day. How about that?"

Gu Zhiwei had always been indifferent to Lu An Ning, and it couldn't be said that he was very affectionate. But now he suddenly became attentive, and his sons were stunned and cast curious glances at Lu An Ning.

In just such a short while, my younger sister has already taken down her ruthless father?

Lu An Ning was also shocked. Seeing Ji Yan with a pale face following behind her, she immediately understood what was going on.

Her father was deliberately trying to show his favor to her!

Ji Yan frowned, clearly unhappy. But because everyone was present, and she remembered what Gu Zhiwei had just said, she refrained from finding fault.

Lu Anning smiled and said, "No, it's better to save trouble. The food in the company restaurant is already very good. When are you free tomorrow? I'll pick you up, okay?"

"No, wait for me at the company."

The father and daughter had a tacit understanding and seemed to be hiding a little secret from everyone, which immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.

Gu Huai asked curiously, "Dad, when did you and my little sister become so close? You're actually hiding a secret from us."

Gu Yue glanced at his father and said calmly, "Where are you going? I'll take you there."

Gu Feng chuckled and said, "I'll be your bodyguard."

Gu Zhiwei glared at his sons and said, "Of course, I can't let you know the secret between Ayue and me. Tomorrow, do what you need to do and don't ask any questions."

There was a sigh from the living room. Lu Anning just smiled faintly and did not express his opinion.

Gu Zhiwei seemed to be afraid that Lu Anning would say something more, so he personally sent them to the car and did not forget to remind them.

"Don't forget the promise we made to each other. I'll pick you up from the company at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

"Don't worry, Dad. I will definitely do what I promised you."

The car gradually drove away, and the cell phone in Lu Anning's bag rang at the right time. Several brothers took turns bombarding her with calls, all asking Lu Anning what the secret between her and her father was.

Lu Anning just replied with a mysterious smile!

Seeing that she wasn't in a bad mood, Tang Jingyuan asked tentatively, "Did you find the answer you were looking for?"

Lu Anning shook his head. "But it should be soon. There's just one thing I don't understand. My dad doesn't want me to continue investigating. I feel like he knows all about this, and Ji Yan should know it too. Why did she allow my dad to have five children with other women?"

The Ji Yan she knew would never allow herself to suffer such a great injustice.

Tang Jingyuan frowned deeply: "What did my father-in-law say?"

"He said he would give me a satisfactory explanation tomorrow afternoon."

What secrets were hidden in my father's marriage back then? Even now, he is still reluctant to mention it.
