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...
After coming out of the study, Lu Anning still found it difficult to calm himself down.
When Lu Anning heard him say that the fire had nothing to do with him, she felt a little relieved, but soon her heart was filled with anger.
Even if he didn't set the fire, he ruined his mother's life with his own hands.
Forced imprisonment, just to satisfy his own selfish desires, is not love at all. After the incident, he knew that Ji Yan was the murderer of his mother, but he turned a blind eye and kept her by his side for many years.
If she had not returned to the Gu family to find the truth, perhaps no one would have cleared her mother's name in this life.
In the eyes of the world, the genius female doctor of that year just disappeared mysteriously. Who would dare to connect this with the high and mighty head of the Gu family?
When Lu Anning thought about the suffering his mother might have experienced, his eyes turned red and even his breathing became rapid.
When Zhong Ling came out of the room, she happened to see her holding the wall with one hand, looking painful.
Zhong Ling was frightened and ran over to support her. She was about to call someone over when she was stopped by Lu An Ning.
"I'm fine."
She raised her hand and wiped away the hot tears from the corners of her eyes, then she slowly calmed down her emotions.
Zhong Ling looked at Lu An Ning worriedly: "Are you really okay? But I see that you look a little ugly. How about..."
"I'm really fine. I just suddenly thought about the past and felt that this journey has been so difficult that I couldn't control my emotions."
Zhong Ling believed it, and seeing her like this, she smiled and hugged Lu An Ning.
"You are the most amazing! I have watched you get to where you are today, and nothing can bring you down. An Ning, I never dreamed that I could be your bridesmaid. Thank you for thinking highly of me and being willing to treat me as a friend."
They started out as boss and subordinate and have come this far.
At this moment, not only Lu Anning felt it was unreal, but Zhong Ling also felt like she was dreaming.
She had thought that she would be a small clerk in her life and that she would be happy if she could just make it to retirement. She never imagined that one day she would become the confidant of the president of a large company.
It was also because of Lu An Ning that she gained something else.
"Today is a special day! How about we invite Ding Wan over and have a drink?"
Zhong Ling was shocked and was about to persuade her when she saw Ding Wan couldn't stay any longer and ran out of the room.
"You two are here! That's perfect, An Ning. Where's the Gu family's wine? Let's get some to commemorate this special night. How do you think?"
The three girls laughed out loud as they stood in the corridor, drinking wine around the stove. Ding Wan had ordered some duck dishes to go with the wine at some point. The three girls sat on the carpet in the master bedroom, facing the large garden outside the window, drinking and chatting, feeling very comfortable.
That night, the entire Gu family was brightly lit until dawn.
Lu Anning took a photo of the three of them having a drink and showed it to Tang Jingyuan, and soon received a reply.
A low and gentle male voice came from the phone, and a sense of happiness arose.
"Go to bed early! Tomorrow will be very busy."
In the attached photo, Xiang Yang rarely changed his usual serious look. He was caught drinking by Fang Le and Zhou Yao, and there was a sense of relaxation between his brows that was not usually there.
Putting aside other things, just looking at this wedding, it is actually very exciting.
She is getting married tomorrow!
Whether it was nervousness or anticipation, Lu Anning couldn't sleep too soundly even after drinking. She woke up before the alarm even rang.
The bride's morning was busy, and she might not have time to eat for the rest of the day. She could only eat a few more bites before the makeup team arrived. Otherwise, how could she have the energy to watch today's show?
Without Ji Yan, the Gu family seemed particularly quiet. Gu Yue got up early and personally cooked a breakfast for Lu An Ning. There were all kinds of breakfast.
This was the first time he made breakfast for Lu An Ning, and it might not be his turn in the future.
Lu Anning was flattered and tried a little of everything. Just as he finished eating, the makeup team arrived. Although busy, everything was proceeding smoothly.
She watched herself in the mirror change little by little, until in the end, she almost couldn't recognize herself.
I seem to be in better shape today than the day I tried on makeup.
According to custom, Ding Wan and Zhong Ling hid their wedding shoes. Several brothers had set up checkpoints, waiting for Tang Jingyuan and his groomsmen to come through.
In the words of the men of the Gu family, she is the only girl in the Gu family, and even if she is married to Tang Jingyuan, he cannot have it too easy.
When they vaguely heard a commotion outside, Ding Wan and Zhong Ling looked over and saw the wedding procession parked outside the villa, with no end in sight.
Lu Anning was originally very calm, but he couldn't help but become nervous due to the excitement of Ding Wan and Zhong Ling.
She sat upright on the bed in her bright red wedding gown, holding a round fan embroidered with gold flowers. She stretched her neck to look outside, but her view was blocked by Zhong Ling and Ding Wan.
"How's it going out there?"
Ding Wan teased, "You're the bride today. Why aren't you just sitting on the bed? Why are you worried about what's going on outside? What? Are you worried that the Third Master won't be able to pass the test?"
Lu An Ning sighed helplessly. It wasn't because he was worried, but he just didn't want his brothers to trouble him too much.
But when she saw her four brothers smiling sinisterly, she was afraid that they would not let him pass easily.
At the entrance of the Gu family's house, the black iron gate was open, fresh petals were scattered on the red carpet, and champagne roses on both sides extended all the way to the entrance of the main building.
Gu Yue stood at the door with his arms folded across his chest. Seeing them approaching, he smiled slightly but had no intention of opening the door.
"Brother, this is..."
"First level of the day! If you want to get in, you have three minutes to crack the code."
Gu Yue clapped his hands, and someone immediately brought a notebook. The screen was full of digital symbols, and the password to the gate was among them.
