"Lu Anning, you dare to hit me."
"I told you, there are so many things I dare to do." Lu An Ning stepped forward and whispered in her ear, "You are so shameless that you asked Mom to steal my plan. Do you really think I'm as brainless as you? Lu Yunxi, I have no intention of fighting with you, but if you insist on biting me, don't blame me for being rude to you. I'm so cruel that even I'm afraid of myself."
The cold voice suppressed Lu Yunxi's arrogance. With just one look, Lu Yunxi trembled unconsciously and felt fear. She glanced at Lu Anning from the corner of her eye and sneered, forgetting even to resist.
When Pei Chengyi and Lu Zhenghao rushed over, Lu Anning had already let the person go.
Lu Yunxi ran into Pei Chengyi's arms crying, unable to speak clearly.
Seeing Lu Yunxi's swollen face, Lu Zhenghao was completely furious: "Lu Anning, did you hurt Yunxi's face? You are so bold, you actually dared to hit her."
"I'm brave, and you've known this for a long time." She smiled indifferently. Now that she had left the Lu family, why would she be afraid of Lu Zhenghao?
Lu Zhenghao looked at Pei Chengyi: "Second Young Master, Yun Xi is your fiancée, are you just going to watch her get bullied?"
Without waiting for Pei Chengyi to speak, Lu Anning smiled and said, "Nephew Chengyi, your fiancée is restless and wants to make a move on me, your aunt. I'll take this opportunity to teach her the proper etiquette as a younger generation. She's disrespectful to her elders before she even gets married. What will happen after we get married? Your mother hates people who don't follow the rules the most, right?"
After all, she is Tang Jingyuan's legal wife and they have a marriage certificate. Lu Yunxi is not even engaged. In the Pei family, she is nothing, and yet they want to suppress her.
Pei Chengyi's face was extremely ugly, but he couldn't say anything to Lu Anning.
"I won't bother you with my business. Let's go!"
Lu Yunxi originally wanted Pei Chengyi to stand up for her, but she didn't expect him to say a word. She was about to drag Pei Chengyi to find trouble with Lu An Ning. Before she could open her mouth, she was glared back by Pei Chengyi.
Pei Chengyi felt uncomfortable being called "nephew" by Lu Anning. Originally, Lu Anning was supposed to be his fiancée.
Lu Yunxi glared at Lu An Ning unwillingly, with resentful eyes.
She won't let today's incident go like this.
When Tang Jingyuan and Xiang Yang came out, they saw from afar the backs of Pei Chengyi and his group leaving in a panic. Then they looked at Lu Anning standing not far away. Tang Jingyuan's eyes dimmed for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
Lu An Ning proved himself with his strength. Xiang Yang had nothing to say. He was still reluctant to praise Lu An Ning, but Lu An Ning did not force him.
"Vice President Xiang, since I've successfully won the project, can you fulfill your promise and let me take full responsibility for the entire project?"
Xiang Yang coughed lightly: "Of course, I keep my word."
Facts had proven that he had underestimated Lu Anning, believing she and Pei Chengyi were in cahoots. However, the business world was full of intrigue and deception, so it wasn't a bad idea for him to be more cautious.
Before the three of them returned to the company, the news had already reached the project department. The entire team was overjoyed, and He Xun also led the others to sincerely congratulate them.
When Lu Anning returned to the department, he was warmly welcomed by his colleagues. Now, their group could stay in the company openly.
Tang Jingyuan and Xiang Yang personally accompanied her back, and Tang Jingyuan announced publicly that he would celebrate for Lu Anning and the entire team.
"Tonight, I'll book a private room at Yunding as a celebration banquet for winning this project. I'll pay for everything."
The office was filled with the sounds of employees cheering and rejoicing. Lu Anning was so overwhelmed with joy and triumph that he almost couldn't breathe. Soon, the Human Resources Department issued a notice of regularization for Lu Anning and the entire team, along with bonuses. Lu Anning was officially appointed as the principal investigator for the No. 1 Academy project.
Lu Anning was almost drowned by all the good news. After a long while, the laughter gradually faded away. After the joy subsided, Lu Anning found the USB drive from the drawer, struggled for a long time, took a deep breath, and went to Xiang Yang's office.
Xiang Yang didn't expect Lu An Ning to come to him at this time. She looked solemn, as if something serious had happened.
Without waiting for Xiang Yang to speak, Lu Anning took the initiative to close the office door.
"Vice President Xiang, there is something I still want to tell you."
Lu Anning took out the USB drive and told Xiang Yang the whole story. Although she hadn't been able to get her adoptive mother to take the real bid document, it had happened. If her plan had failed, or if she had mistakenly trusted Du Man, she didn't dare to think about the consequences.
"Your concerns are not unfounded. It's already happened, and I don't want to hide it from you. With you and President Tang's intelligence, you'll know the truth after a quick investigation. It's better for me to be honest with you. However, since this concerns my adoptive mother, I hope Vice President Xiang can hand this matter over to me. I promise you, this will never happen again."
Xiang Yang looked at Lu Anning for a long time: "How are you going to deal with this?"
Lu Anning frowned. The video was in her hands. If she handled the matter impartially, Du Man would be the only one in trouble. She didn't think Lu Zhenghao would be so kind as to sacrifice himself to save Du Man.
After all, Duman had raised her for so many years.
Just treat it as the last time!
"The company hasn't been affected, so we can say we stopped the losses in time. I don't think it's necessary to go through the trouble of hiring a lawyer. I will warn the Lu family and will never bring unnecessary trouble to the company again."
After a long time, Xiang Yang finally gave in: "I trust you this time! This is about your adoptive mother, so I'll leave it to you to deal with it. I'll just pretend I don't know anything. Go and get busy!"
Lu Anning breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Vice President Xiang. I will definitely take care of it."
