In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. The entire Panlong Mountain was filled with the joy of the New Year. Tang Qizon's family rarely ruined the atmosphere, and the entire old house was immersed in the New Year atmosphere.
Although Tang Yanguang and Ye Lingfei still felt unnatural when they saw Lu Anning, it could be ignored.
Tang Lianfeng's wife, Guan Rong, rushed back last night. Tang Lianfeng looked particularly radiant today.
Unlike Fu Rongyin's arrogant attitude, Guan Rong gives people a peaceful feeling. Although she is a professor, she is approachable. With Tang Ran's introduction, Lu Anning was not treated coldly.
Just as Tang Lianfeng once said, Guan Rong's mind was all on archaeology. She would only say a few words when antiques were mentioned. Otherwise, she would respond with a smile and would never gossip casually.
While the family was chatting and laughing, Tang Ran pulled Lu An Ning and quietly showed her the latest circle of friends, which was about the Gu family's New Year's Eve dinner.
In the luxurious hall, servants were busy at work. The camera was focused on the dining table where the tableware was set. The Gu family members took their seats, but two empty seats were reserved at the end of the table.
Everyone is present, and the two sets of bowls and chopsticks were obviously placed there intentionally, which has a hint of meaning.
Lu Anning also received the same photo. Gu Yu and Gu Huai both sent it to her, but she did not reply.
"Sister-in-law, this is a hint for you and Third Brother to go back!"
Lu Anning smiled slightly: "I'm not a member of the Gu family, where can I go back to?"
In the photo, Lu Yunxi sat next to Ji Yan, with Gu Yue on the other side, and everyone had a happy smile on their face. Wouldn't it be superfluous if she went to such a perfect family portrait?
Lu Anning didn't care and quickly changed the subject with Tang Ran.
The Gu family is happy and prosperous, and the Tang family is also full of laughter and joy, right?
At the New Year's Eve dinner, Lu Anning drank some wine with Tang Ran. The festive atmosphere dispelled all the unhappiness. She put her cell phone far away and turned the volume to silent, just because she didn't want anyone to spoil her fun at this time.
Several times, Lu Anning's cell phone screen lit up and dimmed. In addition to Gu Huai and Gu Yu who were noted, there was another number she didn't recognize. All of them were reminding her to stop while she was ahead. If she was given a way out, she should go down the slope.
However, Lu An Ning did not answer any of them. It was not until she saw the message from Gu Yu on WeChat that she realized that until now, the Gu family still maintained a high-handed attitude and believed that Lu An Ning was eager to return to the Gu family to get something. But that was all in the past.
After dinner, the entire Panlong Mountain was covered in fireworks, which is the custom of the Tang family.
Lu Anning stood in the yard, watching the brilliant fireworks in the night sky, a happy smile on her lips. This New Year's Eve, she was genuinely happy.
Without the constraints of Lu Zhenghao and his wife, she didn't need to please anyone, and even breathed freely.
Not far away, Tang Ran's family called Tang Jingyuan over to help set off the fireworks. He was in a playful mood and asked Lu Anning to stand there and wait and watch. At some point, Ye Lingfei quietly stood beside her. At this moment, she was unusually calm, and even the gloom in her eyes was much less.
You can see that she is in a good mood.
"I heard that you are the real daughter of the Gu family." Ye Lingfei was shocked when she heard the news.
What she found most incredible was that Lu Anning was the real daughter of the Gu family, but she was not recognized by the Gu family. Instead, they treated the fake Lu Yunxi as a treasure.
She looked at Lu Anning curiously: "You two sisters are really interesting! Lu Yunxi has taken over your identity, do you really not care?"
"You seem to be looking forward to a fight between me and Lu Yunxi! I know you hate me for ruining your life, and you hate yourself even more for not being able to do anything to me. So, you're looking forward to a fight between me and Lu Yunxi to the death."
Ye Lingfei's eyes flickered: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"If you don't even dare to admit this, I'll really look down on you. If I were you, I'd think about my own future life instead of always expecting others to fight me."
She reached out and gently patted Ye Lingfei's shoulder. The moment her hand touched her shoulder, Ye Lingfei dodged backwards. Lu Anning didn't even touch her, but she took a breath, as if she had hurt a wound.
Lu Anning looked at her strangely: "Are you... okay?"
Ye Lingfei took two steps back and looked at her warily: "I don't know how good my life is. There's no need for you to be hypocritical. Tang Yanguang and I are very happy."
She emphasized this point and left angrily.
Lu An Ning was puzzled. She was fine just now, but suddenly became so excited. She didn't say anything. How could Ye Lingfei and Tang Yanguang be unhappy?
She turned around and stared at Ye Lingfei's back as she left, only then realizing that her walking posture was a little strange. In the past, Ye Lingfei always liked to wear beautiful clothes, but today she covered herself up tightly, even in the heated room, she didn't take off her coat.
Isn’t it hot?
She looked like she was afraid of being seen.
Before Lu Anning had time to think about it, Tang Ran had already run over to pull her: "Sister-in-law, don't stand here, come and play Gatling with me, there are many new varieties over there. Come quickly!"
Lu Anning was pulled into the team setting off fireworks. Tang Jingyuan was responsible for lighting the big ones, while she and Tang Ran were responsible for the small ones.
At the moment when the fireworks lit up the night sky, Lu Anning took advantage of everyone's inattention, stood on tiptoe and kissed Tang Jingyuan on the side of his cheek. When Tang Rui and Tang Ran turned around and called her, she had already pushed them away.
"Happy New Year!" She smiled and pulled Tang Rui to continue playing, leaving Tang Jingyuan standing there in a daze, his burning gaze following her back, reluctant to move away for a long time.
In contrast, the Gu family stayed up on New Year's Eve, chatting and setting off fireworks together. Everyone seemed happy, but a little absent-minded.
When Lu Yunxi discovered that Gu Zhiwei was in a trance for the sixth time, her hand holding the hot tea froze and her eyes suddenly turned red.
"If everyone really misses Sister An Ning, how about I go to the Tang family and personally invite her back? She's more suitable to sit here than me for the New Year's Eve reunion."
