All the guests' attention was focused on the banquet, and no one noticed the two figures quietly going to the bathroom.
Lu Anning pushed the door open and walked in. Just then, the sound of flushing could be heard from inside. The compartment door opened, and a familiar face came into view. The moment they met face to face, both of them were stunned.
The person was right in front of him, and Lu An Ning became even more certain that she was Lu Yunxi.
The other person glanced at her casually, and passed by her as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't know her at all.
The rich fragrance stimulated Lu Anning's sense of smell. She turned around and called out to her, "Lu Yunxi!"
Her slender figure paused for a while before she slowly turned around and looked at Lu An Ning with confusion.
"Are you...calling me?"
Her watery eyes were filled with innocence and ignorance. If she didn't know Lu Yunxi well, she would almost believe that she had recognized the wrong person.
"There's no one here, you don't have to pretend."
The other party smiled slightly and explained with a hint of arrogance: "Miss, I think you have recognized the wrong person. I am not the Xi you just mentioned. I am the fifth daughter of the Gu family, Gu Yao."
Lu Anning frowned and stepped forward. "Gu Yao? Ha! You're really amazing. You're at your wit's end in Jiangcheng, so you faked your own death and even abandoned your own biological parents. You can fool others, but you can't fool me. Lu Yunxi, I don't care who you are now. I just want to ask you one thing: where is the real agarwood token?"
Lu An Ning approached step by step, and the other party retreated step by step, bumping into the sink behind him and being forced to meet Lu An Ning's scrutinizing gaze.
"Miss, I really don't know what you are talking about. Please move aside. I need to go out."
"I don't know what I'm talking about, but you must know this person!"
Lu Anning said, placing Duman's photo in front of her on his phone. "Ever since you jumped into the sea, she's been living like a puddle of mud, almost going crazy. Do you think that by changing your identity, you can get rid of everything in the past? If they knew that you had a new life, do you think you would still be as comfortable as you are now?"
Lu Anning admitted that it was a bit mean of him to say that. Based on Lu Yunxi's past actions, she wasn't worthy of being treated as a legitimate opponent.
Lu Yunxi frowned and looked evasive.
"I don't know this woman, and I have no idea what you're talking about. If you keep doing this, I'm going to call for help."
"I know all about your past! Lu Yunxi, I'm not interested in who you are now. Return my things to me. From now on, we can keep our distance. You continue to be the darling of the Gu family, and I will pretend that I've never seen you."
Hammer clenched his hands on both sides and quickly released them.
She raised her eyes, met Lu Anning's urgent gaze, and said firmly: "I don't know."
Just then, a voice calling for someone came from outside the bathroom.
"Yaoyao, are you still in the bathroom? Are you okay?"
"Mom, I'm here. I'm coming out."
She responded, even the tone of her voice was exactly the same. While Lu An Ning wasn't paying attention, she pushed Lu An Ning away and quickly ran away.
A woman's concerned voice came from outside the door. Lu An Ning followed her out and happened to meet Mrs. Gu at the door, who was asking about his well-being.
When their eyes met, Lu An Ning nodded slightly, then moved his gaze to Lu Yunxi. Without saying a word, he left.
Mrs. Gu looked at the departing figure, a hint of surprise flashed through her mind, and she followed Lu An Ning away, unconsciously watching him for a long time.
Someone nearby noticed something was wrong and pulled her hand: "Mom, what are you looking at?"
Ji Yan came back to her senses and smiled: "Nothing."
The girl just now gave her a very special feeling. Her every move and gesture exuded an outstanding temperament, which was pleasing to the eye.
Seeing her mother lost in thought again, Lu Yunxi's eyes darkened and she suddenly held her forehead and was about to fall down.
"What's wrong? Yaoyao, don't scare mom."
"It's okay. I just feel a little uncomfortable. Let's go to the side and rest for a while!"
Ji Yan didn't dare to take it lightly and quickly helped the person sit down beside her. But she had to accompany her husband to social events and couldn't stay with her daughter all the time.
"Mom, go get busy! I'll rest here for a while. Besides, don't I have many friends to accompany me?"
The socialites on the side echoed the sentiment, wishing they were Miss Gu's friends.
As soon as Ji Yan left, she leaned back in her chair and saw Lu An Ning not far away. She felt sick all over.
"Guyao, are you okay? Weren't you fine before you went to the bathroom?"
She shook her head: "Nothing, just..."
The people next to her followed her gaze and saw Lu An Ning chatting and laughing with Tang Ran.
"Isn't that Mr. Tang Sanye's wife? Just now, she seemed to have followed you to the bathroom. Could it be that she gave you some trouble in the bathroom?"
"I knew this kind of useless woman would be extremely jealous. She must have considered us Gu Yao as her imaginary enemy. You just have a good temper. It's okay, we'll vent your anger for you. How could we let Yao Yao suffer?"
Gu Yao pretended to dissuade him, "Don't! This is Mr. Tang's birthday party, please don't cause any trouble for me. I'm really fine, just try to avoid contact with him in the future."
"No! If you endure it this time, she'll be even worse next time. You don't have to do anything, just wait and see."
The two women confidently held their wine glasses and walked towards Lu Anning aggressively. As long as Gu Yao was happy, they wouldn't have to worry about their good life in the future!
