The people coming and going were all young people who worked nearby. Many of them looked over here. Lu Anning didn't want to attract attention, so he nodded. Duman was overjoyed and held Lu Anning's hand tightly.
"You agreed? That's great! An Ning, I knew you were the most obedient and wouldn't stand by and watch someone die."
"I can help you once."
Lu Anning looked at Duman calmly: "If Lu's company really declares bankruptcy, I will help you find a suitable job to ensure the most basic living."
The smile on Duman's face froze: "You...what did you say?"
Her hand holding the coffee shook a few times, and the black coffee spilled onto the table, with a few drops splashing onto her cream-colored dress. Du Man didn't have time to pay attention. He stared straight at Lu An Ning's face and asked through gritted teeth, "Say it again!"
"You raised me, and I won't let you live on the streets when you're old. Although I can't give you a very comfortable life, at least it won't be too bad. The house will be smaller, and the work won't be too tiring. I will also buy social security for each of you. In two or three years, when you reach retirement age, you will have a fixed income every month, and you don't have to work anymore."
Lu An Ning had planned their future life, but Du Man became angrier and angrier as he listened, and slammed his hand on the table.
"Is this what you call help? You want me to live like those old ladies on a pension of one or two thousand a month? That little money is not even enough for a meal. How can you say that?"
Lu Anning frowned: "My personal ability is limited, this is all I can do."
Du Man was so angry that his face turned ashen, his chest heaving, and he wished he could tear Lu An Ning apart.
"You are truly the good daughter I raised. You live a life of luxury, while leaving your father and I to rely on our pensions. Lu Anning, you just won't help, right?"
"The Lu Group is in such a huge hole. It's not that I don't want to help, but I really can't."
"As long as the Third Master is willing, there's nothing he can't accomplish in Jiangcheng. You're hoping the Lu family will be destroyed. You're just holding a grudge against me for arranging your marriage with Young Master Pei at the family recognition banquet, right?"
Lu Anning shook his head: "I have nothing to hold a grudge against. My current life is my own choice. The current situation of the Lu Group is also caused by you. I can't do anything about it."
"What a helpless person! Lu An Ning, you are such an ungrateful person. I have finally seen through you. From now on, I will no longer recognize you as my daughter. Don't think that without you, the Lu family can't turn things around. When the Lu family gets through this difficult time, you will regret it. Being from a wealthy family, without the support of your mother's family, I want to see how long you can be so arrogant."
Du Man was so furious that he didn't even want to maintain his only remaining image. He cursed Lu An Ning a few times and left angrily.
Lu Anning looked at the spilled coffee, smiled and shook his head.
In the end, the Lu family was too greedy. They hoped that I could ask Tang Jingyuan for help so that the Lu family could be dependent on the Pei family from then on and live a carefree life. They disdained the comfortable life that ordinary people hoped for.
If that's the case, then it's none of her business.
Lu Anning didn't expect that he would see Duman again in Yunding.
That night, she and Zhong Ling were entertaining clients at Yunding together. When Lu Anning came out to use the restroom, she passed by the elevator door. The moment the elevator door slowly opened, she caught a glimpse of two familiar figures inside, who looked very much like Duman and Lu Yunxi.
Lu Yunxi didn't know if she had drunk too much, she felt drowsy and leaned on Duman, unable to stand steadily.
The elevator closed quickly, and Lu Anning came to her senses, thinking she'd seen it wrong. Duman never came to a place like this, let alone brought a drunk Lu Yunxi with him. She still took a look, and the elevator stopped at the 17th floor, which was Yunding's hotel room, a place for guests to rest after getting drunk. Some people took advantage of this convenience and brought the opposite sex with them to the rooms upstairs.
Even if Lu Yunxi was drunk, Duman could just send her home directly, so there was no need for her to go to the room upstairs to rest!
Lu Anning vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but didn't think too much about it.
The customer had almost finished drinking, and Lu Anning and Zhong Ling smiled as they saw him off. As they walked out of the box, a figure emerged from the darkness and grabbed Lu Anning's hand.
“Help…help me!”
Everyone looked at Lu Anning, and the client's eyes were filled with confusion. Lu Anning was also caught off guard. A closer look revealed it was Lu Yunxi. Without time to think, Lu Anning briefly explained and asked Zhong Ling to escort the client to the car. She called the floor supervisor for help and took Lu Yunxi directly to the VIP elevator to the underground parking lot.
In the light, Lu Anning noticed something was wrong with Lu Yunxi. Her entire body was flushed, and she began to tear at her clothes restlessly, scratching the skin on her palms and oozing blood.
Lu Anning suddenly remembered the scene he saw in the elevator. Could it be...
This scene reminded Lu Anning of herself back then. With a long sigh, she got Lu Yunxi into the car and took her to the hospital. Just as she'd suspected, Lu Yunxi had been drugged, and the effects were taking effect, leaving her feeling very uncomfortable.
After a lot of trouble, Lu Yunxi finally calmed down.
Lu Anning leaned back in her chair, looking at the face that looked so much like Duman, feeling somewhat puzzled. She had thought that since she was an adopted daughter, it was normal for Duman to be cruel, but she had never expected that she would be just as cruel to her own biological daughter. Was a life of luxury really that important to them?
Lu Yunxi was raised outside for many years. She finally returned to the Lu family, but in the end, she was sent to another man's bed by her biological mother because of the Lu family's company. It was really sad.
When Tang Jingyuan rushed over after dinner, Lu Yunxi was still asleep.
Looking at the person on the bed, Tang Jingyuan was a little confused: "What's going on?"
"It's a long story." Lu Anning stood up and the two went to the corridor to talk.
