After hearing from the receptionist that the man claimed to be her father, Lu Anning thought he was a liar. Out of curiosity, she went to meet him.
Lu Zhenghao was waiting in the lounge area in a suit and tie, glancing around from time to time. Confirming it was her, Lu Anning was about to leave, pretending she had never been there, but Lu Zhenghao saw her.
"peaceful!"
Lu Anning sighed and had to stop.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Lu Zhenghao's eyes, and he stepped forward with a smile: "Are you still mad at Dad? You left when you saw me. Are you really planning on never seeing me again? There's no such thing as a father and daughter holding grudges overnight. I came here specifically to find you."
Lu Anning didn't believe that Lu Zhenghao could have good intentions. Seeing that his attitude was completely different from before, he became even more vigilant.
"You said you were breaking off relations with me, and I remember that. What do you want to do by coming here?"
Lu Anning was unhappy, but Lu Zhenghao greeted her with a smile: "It's noon, Dad will take you to a big meal. We'll talk while we eat."
"No need." Lu An Ning refused: "I'm fine with ordering takeout. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I'm busy!"
Lu Zhenghao was unhappy about being rejected, but he couldn't show it at this moment.
"If you don't want to eat with me, then I'll go find Master San. I know he's the boss here."
Lu Anning's face turned cold: "I'll go with you."
This is a matter between her and the Lu family, and Tang Jingyuan cannot be implicated.
Not wanting to go far, Lu Anning picked a good restaurant nearby. Lu Zhenghao was very attentive and ordered a lot of dishes.
"An Ning, you look so thin. Eat more later. These are your favorite foods."
Lu Anning stared coldly at the dish in front of her. It was sweet and sour, which was what Lu Yunxi liked. As for crab, she was allergic to it.
"Just tell me! What do you want from me?" As for this meal, she really couldn't eat a single bite.
"I went back and thought about it carefully. I raised you, too. When I said we were going to break up, it was just a tirade. Did I really mean we were done? I made the decision about your marriage without asking for your opinion. I was wrong. I apologize! From now on, we'll still be a family."
The steaming sweet and sour pork ribs were placed in front of her, but Lu An Ning refused to take it. Her adoptive father would only do what was beneficial to her, and she was showing goodwill because she saw the value in it, and she didn't want to be a pawn anymore.
"What do you want me to do again?"
Lu Zhenghao smiled. "We're all family, so I won't beat around the bush. I raised you, and Yunxi just returned to the Lu family. To be honest, I always feel like I owe her a lot. Although you're an adopted daughter, now that you're married to the Third Master, you won't have to worry about the rest of your life. I hope you can help her! You've done your homework on the No. 1 Academy project. Give it to your sister as compensation for all the years you've grown up in the Lu family!"
Lu Anning found it funny: "It was you who lost her back then! You should make amends. I don't owe her anything."
Lu Zhenghao's smile froze. "We've been kind to you in raising you, so you should consider it as a way of repaying us, right? A kind upbringing is greater than heaven! The Third Master has everything he wants. It's just a project, so why would he worry about not making money in the future? Give it to your sister, and the Lu family will become stronger, and you'll have more confidence in your words in the Pei family."
Lu Anning smiled disdainfully. It was moral blackmail, but unfortunately she didn't buy it.
"Do you think you can rest easy just because you're married to the Third Master? The Pei family is a place that eats people without leaving any bones. It's impossible for you to gain a foothold in the Pei family alone. Isn't it good for Yunxi to marry there and take care of her sisters?"
Lu Zhenghao painstakingly analyzed the pros and cons for Lu Anning, but Lu Anning remained indifferent until Lu Zhenghao said he was tired, and then she spoke.
"Are you done?"
"You're so smart, you'll definitely know what to do."
"You think too highly of me." Lu Anning smiled slightly and stood up. "I'm not naturally smart, and I don't like to go back to my ex. If you want projects, you should rely on your own abilities."
Lu Zhenghao was furious and could no longer pretend. He roared, "Lu Anning, don't be so shameless. Do you really think Master Pei will always protect you?"
Lu An Ning turned around and curled his lips: "How far I can go is my business, so you don't have to worry about it. As for these dishes, Lu Yunxi is more suitable than me."
After saying that, Lu An Ning left without looking back, ignoring the cursing voices behind him.
Lu Anning wasn't upset to see Lu Zhenghao's power again. It just delayed her lunch break, so she had to buy a sandwich at a passing convenience store and bring it back to the office. She had just sat down to drink some hot water when Vice President Xiang Yang asked her to come to his office.
The assistant who came over to pass on the message kindly reminded her: "Vice President Xiang doesn't look very happy, you should be careful."
"Thanks!"
In the office, Xiang Yang was looking down at documents. When he heard the knock on the door, he didn't even raise his head, but just uttered one word, "Come in."
"Vice President Xiang, are you looking for me?"
Xiang Yang looked up at Lu Anning and said, "Close the door."
Lu An Ning hesitated, but still did as he was told. There was nothing that could not be discussed with the door open, after all, there were differences between men and women.
Xiang Yang looked at Lu Anning expressionlessly, his face complicated: "What are you and Lu Zhenghao planning?"
Lu Anning was puzzled by the question: "Me and Lu Zhenghao? He is my adoptive father, but we have severed our relationship. Mr. Tang knows about this."
"Lu and I are now in a competitive relationship. I don't care what you're thinking. Just put it away as soon as possible. You can't afford the consequences of playing tricks under my nose. I'm not Tang Jingyuan!"
Lu Anning finally understood. Xiang Yang thought she was a commercial spy planted by her adoptive father?
Lu Anning stepped forward, placed his hands on the table, and looked down at Xiang Yang. "Boss Tang knows my affairs best. Vice Boss Xiang can ask him if he has any questions. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
Lu Anning left with a clear conscience, and she didn't bother to explain this ridiculous assumption.
