Ding Wan couldn't help her curiosity and secretly asked about the driver's whereabouts. Only then did she know that Gu Zhiwei did not come back directly after leaving the manor, but went to An Li's residence to wait.

Now, the answer to who left the slap mark is obvious.

Lu An Ning made a "tsk" sound, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and responded with an applause expression. Now he could sleep peacefully.

Gu Zhiwei, who was beaten, tossed and turned. When he thought about what happened at the banquet, he couldn't sleep even more.

He could allow An Li to reject him, but he could not allow her to reject him because of Gong Shaohua.

He had to do something to turn the situation around, otherwise, where would he put his face? Thinking carefully, he wasn't completely without advantages. Aren't his biggest advantages his children?

He and An Li have five children. Which mother would be willing to abandon her own children!

They have an unbreakable relationship, which is something Gong Shaohua can never compare to.

The next morning, Gu Yue woke up early and saw his father instructing the servants in the dining room, feeling a bit puzzled. When he got closer, he found that the table was filled with various breakfast items.

"Dad, you look so energetic. How did you manage to do so much?"

Gu Zhiwei changed his usual serious look and smiled at Gu Yue. It was this smile that gave Gu Yue a bad feeling.

"Ayue, Dad asked the kitchen to prepare these for you. You are so busy every day, you should at least have a nutritious breakfast. Would you like some porridge first, or noodles?"

Gu Yue tried hard to force a smile, then sat down nervously, looking at the millet porridge in front of him, and did not move for a long time.

"Dad, is there something in this porridge?"

"This is just ordinary millet porridge! If you don't like it, there are beef porridge, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, seafood porridge, and many other flavors."

Gu Yue twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling uncomfortable all over.

He looked at his father seriously: "Dad, just say whatever you want to say! I'm a little scared when you do this."

"I'm fine. I'm just trying to be nice to you! I haven't really taken good care of you. I'm really not a good father."

"What do you want?"

"Actually, this is a very simple matter. I'm a traditional person and I always believe that a family should be together. But the biggest problem now is that your mother won't give me a chance. She cares about you the most, and you're the eldest and the most sensible. If you're willing to help, An Li will definitely listen to you."

When Gu Yue heard this, he quickly pushed the porridge away, as if there was some poison in it.

"Dad, it's not funny at all when you play this kind of joke on me so early in the morning."

"Do I look serious when I say this? Do you think I'm joking? Don't you want our family to be reunited?"

Gu Yue looked at his father's face with some embarrassment and sighed helplessly.

"Dad, don't you know what you've done? You don't think that's over, do you? The damage you've done to my mom is irreversible. She's already doing you the greatest kindness by not doing anything to you now. Stop being a troublemaker. You're really lonely, so I'll help you find a suitable companion on the dating website later."

"What nonsense are you talking about, you idiot? Is that what I meant? I'm seriously discussing this with you."

"This matter cannot be discussed. I don't want to be alienated like you. If nothing else, I'm going to the company. Take your time with this breakfast."

Before Gu Zhiwei could speak again, Gu Yue stood up and left, not giving him a chance to speak again.

Looking at his son who disappeared in a flash, Gu Zhiwei's brows were furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

A bad start is not a good sign.

"housekeeper!"

"Master, I'm here."

"This brat actually said that I've been abandoned by everyone! Tell me, 'alienated by everyone', can that be used? It's true, we've all been led astray by that youngest girl."

“…”

Zhou De was silent for a while, then looked at Gu Zhiwei, not knowing how to comfort his master. Gu Zhiwei saw his painful expression and waved his hand, too lazy to embarrass him any further.

But I feel a little annoyed.

How come he was deserted by everyone?

He casually opened the tablet next to him and was surprised to see a photo of himself and Gong Shaohua standing next to An Li. In the photo, An Li and Gong Shaohua were looking at each other, which made him seem more redundant.

Gu Zhiwei got angry when he saw it, and threw the tablet aside. Looking at the table full of breakfast, he lost his appetite.

The two giants are jealous of each other for the top professor in the medical field. Such a topic is attractive enough, and gossip about the three of them is flying all over the Internet. This has to remind netizens of the true relationship between An Li and Gu Zhiwei.

It is said that the head of the Gu family played a trick of prohibiting love in the past, but failed to win the other person's heart like in the novel. Now he is old and still takes it for granted.

In comparison, Gong Shaohua, who is as gentle as water in front of the camera, looks more like a poor person who cannot get the love he wants. More people stand on the side of Gong Shaohua and An Li, while some support Gu Zhiwei. After all, he gave birth to five excellent children, which is an inseparable bond.

Lu Anning was bored and scrolling through the comments on his tablet. He would occasionally smile when he saw something interesting, and didn't seem to care too much about the truth.

Zhong Ling asked curiously, "Mr. Lu, aren't you curious about who Professor An will choose?"

Lu An Ning curled his lips: "As long as she doesn't choose the old man."

"He is your biological father after all."

"If you really knew what kind of person he was, you would definitely say the same thing. If I were my mother, at my age, I would have everything I wanted. Of course, I would just find someone I like and have a relationship with him. Who says it has to be one of them?"

“Wisdom!”

Zhong Ling smiled and gave a thumbs up, then handed over the documents in her arms.

While the two were chatting, the front desk clerk downstairs called internally.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Gong Ming wants to see you."

Lu Anning frowned subconsciously. Gong Ming came to her so soon, why did she feel that it would not be a good thing?

"Let him come up."

Gong Ming smiled slightly, responded to the female employee's admiration, and walked into the elevator openly.

Without waiting for Zhong Ling to invite him to the reception room, Gong Ming walked towards Lu Anning's office.

"Your CEO Lu is so busy every day. We're very familiar with each other, so there's no need to go to the reception room. I can just go to her office!"

As he spoke, Gong Ming's people had already pushed open the office door.

Lu An Ning looked up and saw Gong Ming standing at the door, looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Lu, am I disturbing you at work again?"

"Since Master Gong is here, why are you still being so polite? Just sit down! I'll be right there."

"No rush, I have time, I can wait slowly."

Gong Ming sat down on the chair in a familiar manner, leaned on the desk, supported his chin with one hand, and looked at Lu An Ning quietly.
