The Gu family was shocked. They never expected that Tang Jingyuan would come at this time.
He strode forward, protecting Lu An Ning behind him, his face gloomy.
"I'm here today, let's see who dares to touch her!"
Lu An Ning finally came to his senses and was a little surprised. How did he know he was here? They were angry and silent. Lu An Ning thought that at this time, he should be concerned about Bai Lu's life.
Looking at the tall figure in front of him, Lu Anning loosened his hand hidden in the bag, put the anti-wolf spray he carried with him back, and then took his hand out.
Gu Zhiwei stared at the two young men with a cold face and did not say a word for a long time.
This was the first time someone dared to challenge him in his home.
"Don't forget, this is the Gu family."
"Don't forget that your relationship with An Ning hasn't been made public yet. The Gu family just adopted their daughter, and they're lynching her before they even have time to tell anyone. If this gets out, it won't be good for the Gu family's reputation, right?"
Gu Zhiwei put his hands behind his back, clenched his fists, and said calmly: "I discipline my own daughter, what's wrong with that?"
"She's my wife now!"
"Tang Jingyuan, even if you have the favor of Mr. Tang, you are not qualified to come to my Gu family and act wildly."
"I want to leave, and you can't stop me."
Facing Gu Zhiwei, Tang Jingyuan was not afraid at all. A few words from him made Gu Zhiwei's face turn blue with anger.
"She hurt Yaoyao's face and apologized, so I naturally let her go back."
If he didn't punish Lu Anning, and the news got out, people would say he allowed his daughter to hurt someone. No matter who it was, if they did something wrong, they had to accept the punishment.
After hearing this, Tang Jingyuan sneered, "Her? She owes An Ning something, even if she has to pay it back with her life, it wouldn't be too much. Lu Yunxi, what do you think?"
Lu Yunxi was caught off guard when her name was called. She was stunned and hid behind Ji Yan.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Gu Zhiwei noticed something was wrong and asked, "What debt?"
Not only Tang Jingyuan, but even Lu Anning said so. Is there something they don't know?
Tang Jingyuan sneered, "You've been so shrewd all your life, why don't you go to Jiangcheng and carefully investigate everything about this woman? Think about it carefully, why would the agarwood token that should have belonged to An Ning end up in her hands? And yet, An Ning knows this woman."
"What do you mean?"
"The Gu family has been practicing traditional Chinese medicine for generations. What's ridiculous is that you believed this woman when she said she had lost her memory. Isn't it her own decision to lose her memory? Mr. Gu is a smart man. You might as well give it some thought."
As he spoke, Tang Jingyuan held Lu Anning's hand and walked out the door.
Seeing that Gu Zhiwei didn't say anything, the servants didn't dare to step forward to stop them. They watched the two men leave the Gu family.
Ji Yan felt her sleeve being tugged, and then she realized that Lu An Ning had left.
"Hubby, why did you just let them go? No matter how powerful Tang Jingyuan is, he's just a junior. Are we really afraid of him?"
Gu Zhiwei growled, "What do you know? Are you really going to fight Tang Jingyuan? You really don't know what his reputation was in the army back then. We're not even enough for him to warm up."
Ji Yan's face suddenly changed, still a little unconvinced.
No matter how powerful he is, he is just an ordinary person, and this is their territory.
"Could it be that you just don't care if Yaoyao is wronged?"
When mentioning Lu Yunxi, Tang Jingyuan's questioning echoed in Gu Zhiwei's mind, and he looked at Lu Yunxi again.
Gu Zhiwei walked towards Lu Yunxi step by step. His scrutinizing gaze made Lu Yunxi feel guilty. She panicked a little, lowered her head, and stepped back. She fell onto the sofa after only two steps.
"Lift your head and look me in the eyes."
Lu Yunxi gritted her teeth and looked at Gu Zhiwei with her head held high: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"What's going on with the agarwood brand?"
Lu Yunxi shook her head desperately: "I didn't. Dad, believe me, I really don't know. I... I don't remember what happened before, and I don't know why the wooden sign is on me."
"Hubby, how could Yaoyao lie? Don't scare her." Ji Yan stepped forward to persuade him, but was pushed away by Gu Zhiwei.
He looked down at the girl in front of him, pinched her chin with one hand, and forced her to look up at him.
"Look at me and say it again. Mupai, what's going on?"
The powerful pressure made Lu Yunxi almost breathless. Sensing the danger in Gu Zhiwei's eyes, she was so scared that she didn't move.
"Dad, I...I really don't know."
No one dared to make a sound, and the entire living room was as silent as death.
It was unknown how long it took before Gu Zhiwei finally spoke: "Remember what you said today. If I find out you're lying..."
Gu Zhiwei sneered and left Lu Yunxi half-sentence to think about it herself.
He let go of her hand and turned to walk towards the dining room: "Butler, serve the meal."
Lu Yunxi regained her freedom and stood up, but her legs went weak and she fell back, not daring to make a sound.
Ji Yan quickly stepped forward to support her, signaling her to slow down, but she didn't dare to upset Gu Zhiwei again, so she went to the restaurant one after another. However, the delicious food on the table had lost its original flavor.
During dinner, Lu Yunxi lowered her head and ate carefully. She still felt that Gu Zhiwei was watching her from time to time and did not dare to make any mistakes.
Before, she had always thought that the Gu family was easy to fool, but this was the first time she had witnessed the majesty of the Gu family head. No wonder, ever since she came to the Gu family, people around her had always reminded her that Gu Zhiwei usually had a good temper, but she just had to remember not to make him angry.
This is all Lu Anning's fault. She was dishonest and angered Gu Zhiwei, which caused her to suffer as well.
Bitch, you deserve to die!
