Lu Anning was surprised by Lu Zhenghao's confident look. Could it be that he had already made other arrangements?
Pei Wenbin and his wife were eager for Lu Zhenghao to give in and confirm that everything was there. Shen Yizi breathed a sigh of relief and didn't even sit down. She found an excuse and left, as if if she was a step later, Lu Zhenghao and his wife would regret it.
After they left, the living room suddenly became quiet. The couple stared at Lu An Ning, wishing they could see through her.
Du Man stared at Lu An Ning with only resentment in his eyes, and he was too lazy to pretend anymore.
"The Pei family broke off the engagement, are you satisfied now? I really shouldn't have been soft-hearted and brought you back. Your father was absolutely right, you're an ungrateful person. Get out! You're not welcome in the Lu family."
Lu Anning slowly put down his teacup: "I didn't want to come either, but you guys forgot to explain something clearly."
Du Man and Lu Zhenghao looked at each other in confusion. Lu Zhenghao said coldly, "Didn't we make it clear before? Lu Anning, you're not regretting it and want to pester me again! I tell you, it's Pei Chengyi's loss if he doesn't marry Yun Xi. Yun Xi will naturally have better choices in the future."
"I'm not interested in what Lu Yunxi will do in the future. I just want to ask, when you adopted me, did the dean tell you anything, or give you anything?"
Lu Zhenghao raised his eyebrows: "So, this is why you came to the Lu family. You are such an ungrateful person, how could you care about who your biological parents are?"
"You just need to say yes or no. The rest is my own business."
Lu Zhenghao suddenly laughed, and even felt confident enough to speak.
"We do know some things about your biological parents, but why should I tell you?"
Lu Anning lowered her eyes and stared intently at Lu Zhenghao's face, trying to find any flaws in his expression. Words alone were no proof; who could guarantee that what he said was true?
"You say there is? How do I know if you are lying to me? Otherwise, show me some evidence."
The smile on Lu Zhenghao's face deepened. "Lu Anning, don't forget who brought you up. How dare you show off your wits in front of me? Provoking me won't work on me."
"Yeah?"
Lu Anning sighed softly: "Since you are unwilling to tell me, then I will pretend that I don't know about this. It's also good not to look for it. What if it is just an ordinary family, or even in debt, and it is a mess, which will affect my current comfortable life. Or you will think about me."
Lu Anning smiled mysteriously and spoke heartlessly, and even Lu Zhenghao couldn't tell whether it was true or not.
Both sides looked at each other without moving. Lu Anning smiled, stood up and left without stopping.
"Goodbye!" She acted decisively without any hesitation, and even Lu Zhenghao began to doubt his own judgment.
Seeing that she was about to go to the entrance to change her shoes, Du Man couldn't sit still and kept looking at Lu Zhenghao. Lu Zhenghao clenched his fists and did not move for a long time.
At this moment, a mixed voice came from upstairs: "Wait."
Lu Anning curled her lips, and the moment she turned around, her expression changed, leaving only indifference: "Miss Lu, is there something wrong?"
"We can tell you about your life story. But I have a condition."
Lu Anning smiled and waved his hand: "Really, no need. I suddenly figured it out, and now I don't want to know at all, you'd better keep it to yourself!"
Lu Yunxi held the guardrail tightly, feeling a little anxious.
"Lu Anning, aren't you afraid that if they are really poor or even in debt, they might find you at any time and ruin your wonderful life? Rather than leaving everything to uncertainty, it's better to hold it firmly in your own hands."
"What do you mean?"
"If you're poor, you can spend some money to get rid of them and make sure they never appear in front of you again. If you have a prominent family background, you'll be a real rich girl, and your status in the Pei family will only be higher. I know you don't like surprises."
"You seem to know me very well." Lu An Ning smiled and said, "Tell me your conditions first! Besides, how would I know if what you said was true or not? It's easy for you to find a few extras to act with you."
Lu Yunxi was anxious and stepped forward to ask, "My father kept the agarwood token, that's the evidence."
Lu Anning's heart tightened: "Let me take a look."
"I want to marry into the Pei family."
Lu Anning frowned: "I can't do anything."
I said so much to her last night, but it was all in vain. Lu Anning glanced at Lu Zhenghao and his wife, smiled faintly, said nothing, turned around and left, letting the cold gaze behind her follow her until she left the Lu family.
Lu Yunxi stood there, not moving for a long time.
Lu Zhenghao sighed and scolded, "Why are you still obsessed with the Pei family? From now on, I will help you find a better one."
Lu Yunxi sneered: "In Jiangcheng, is there any family with a higher status than the Pei family? Dad, you don't understand, where you fall, you have to get up from there."
If Lu Anning could marry into the Pei family, so could she. Once she had the Pei family's connections, her career would be easy to achieve.
On the way, Lu Anning pondered what the Lu family had said. This trip today at least confirmed that they did know something about his life. However, getting them to speak the truth was too difficult.
Lu Anning didn't want to be held hostage by the Lu family. They had a token, so he could find someone himself. Wouldn't it be clear if he just asked the director of the orphanage?
The dean at that time should have known his past better than the Lu family!
Lu Anning turned around and went to the orphanage. After being adopted by the Lu family, Lu Zhenghao and his wife did not want her to have any contact with the past, and her daily schedule was fully scheduled. Later, she never had the chance to go back to the orphanage to visit.
Du Man said that she was now the daughter of the Lu family. If she returned to the orphanage, outsiders would think she was not doing well in the Lu family. She had been too submissive in the past. Now she thought that the Lu family did not allow her to return to the orphanage because they were worried that she would find her biological parents in the future and that decades of nurturing would be wasted.
I don’t know what the orphanage is like now!
