Gu Zhiwei grabbed the teacup and put it heavily on the table, with fire flickering in his gloomy eyes.
"Tang Jingyuan, you're kidding me."
Tang Jingyuan chuckled. "Father-in-law, I've done everything I promised. There's nothing more on the list than that. How can you say I'm kidding you?"
"You know exactly what I mean."
So many things, now all moved to the name of a girl, then his previous plan...
"Ningning is your daughter. The things you gave her are pre-marital assets. I believe no one would object. What's more, I promised that if I make a mistake in the future, I will leave the house with nothing. If it's not enough, I can transfer more to her."
"Tang Jingyuan, do you think you can still control me? Even if we sign an agreement, it won't take effect without justice. I regret it now!"
Lu Anning guessed that the Gu family was so generous because they had other intentions, but when he heard his father go back on his word, he felt a different feeling.
She smiled bitterly to herself, realizing that she really had few relatives.
Tang Jingyuan noticed the disappointment in Lu Anning's eyes, his eyes darkened, and he glanced at the lawyer beside him. The lawyer immediately played the prepared audio file.
The promise that Gu Zhiwei had made in the Gu family echoed in the tea room, his voice loud and clear.
Gu Zhiwei's face turned from blue to purple at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even Gu Yue's eyes were filled with shock. Unexpectedly, Tang Jingyuan had already guessed their intentions and made preparations in advance.
In the past, he had only heard that the third young master of the Tang family was decisive and ruthless in the business world, was good at taking people by surprise, and was also good at making plans in advance. Today, he finally saw it for himself.
His sister has good taste.
Tang Jingyuan said quietly, "It's fine if my father-in-law changes his mind, but I'm afraid that outsiders will say that my Tang family is poor. So I can only bring out this audio clip for everyone to judge. It's not that I, Tang Jingyuan, don't love my wife, it's that your Gu family looks down on their daughter."
Gu Zhiwei lowered his eyes and stared at Tang Jingyuan.
"You dare to threaten me?"
"I'm just stating the facts. I'm a member of the Tang family, so of course I have to maintain the Tang family's reputation first. As for the Gu family's reputation, I can't care so much."
Gu Group is a listed company, and every word and action of the Gu family will affect the company's stock price. He must not let this audio be released.
Gu Zhiwei was silent for a long time, and Tang Jingyuan knew that it was almost time.
"If my father-in-law has no other opinions, I will let Ningning sign."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lawyer handed the document to Lu Anning. Lu Anning looked up at Gu Zhiwei's bruised face with a pen in hand and simply signed his name.
Everything is settled!
Gu Zhiwei couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and left with his men. Tang Jingyuan's instructions came from behind him.
"Dad, don't forget to ask a lawyer to get the inquest notarized. I almost forgot to tell you that our conversation just now has a backup recording."
"Great! I never thought I'd have such an outstanding son-in-law like you. Great!"
Gu Zhiwei said this with gritted teeth and left angrily.
Tang Jingyuan was in a good mood. He stroked the documents in front of him and instructed his lawyer to take care of the rest of the matters.
When they were the only two left in the tea room, Lu Anning returned the signed document to Tang Jingyuan.
"If you really want to have a big wedding, these things will be transferred back to your name after the wedding. In fact, you don't have to do this for me. JK is your hard work. Does grandpa know that you are doing this?"
Tang Jingyuan pinched Lu Anning's face and said, "You're not happy about becoming a wealthy woman? Grandpa is eager for me to give you everything, so how could he have any objection? I just can't stand bullying my wife!"
How could parents plot against their own daughter like this? They can even dote on that fake Lu Yunxi, so why should their Ningning, who is so outstanding, be looked down upon by them?
He just wanted everyone in the Gu family to know that not everyone could manipulate his people.
The Gu family has suffered heavy losses. If they return now, I'm afraid there will be chaos.
When Lu Anning saw Tang Jingyuan's malicious smile, her heart was filled with warmth.
"Actually, I don't care much about these."
"That's different! Once something is given to you, it's yours. Do you think I only said those words to your father and your brother? I'm serious."
Tang Jingyuan suddenly became serious, which made Lu Anning feel a little at a loss.
Tang Jingyuan sighed: "The things are in your hands. If the Gu family treats you well, they will naturally benefit from it. This gift list of mine will also give you confidence in front of your mother's family."
Lu An Ning thought for a moment before accepting it.
"Then I'll keep it for you."
My father didn't get a penny from the Tang family. I'm afraid the Gu family will not be at peace tonight.
Gu Yue came with him today, and he had known about his father's plan for a long time. So, was his concern for him just to get Tang Jingyuan to give him a bigger gift?
They were obviously blood relatives, yet they were being treated like strangers. Lu Anning began to wonder if his insistence on investigating his own background had only added to his troubles.
At night, the Gu family was dead silent.
Everyone fell asleep. In the master bedroom, Ji Yan waited for Gu Zhiwei to return to the room. Seeing her husband looking worried, she hesitated several times before finally speaking.
"Are you just going to let that girl's matter go?"
Gu Zhiwei frowned, "What else can we do? The recording is there. If it were to become public, it would affect the company's stock price and reputation. The losses would be even greater."
Ji Yan sighed several times: "Master is right, this child came to our house to collect a debt. When Cuiping took the child away, although I felt uncomfortable, I felt relieved when I thought that the other children were safe. I thought I would never see him again in this life, but who would have thought..."
"Don't we still have Lu Yunxi? The master said that Lu Yunxi's horoscope brings good luck to us and can dilute the hostility that child has brought to the family. This money is what we owe her for the past twenty years."
"I hope she won't affect us. I'm still worried. I'm going to the temple tomorrow and ask the master to take a look."
Gu Zhiwei sighed: "I'll go with you."
