Everything happened so fast that no one could react before the dagger was already in front of Lu Yunxi.
Lu Yunxi was so frightened that her face turned pale. She leaned on the sofa and dared not move. A woman's shrill screams came from the living room.
At the critical moment, Lu Anning stopped. The blade was only two centimeters away from Lu Yunxi's face. If she moved even slightly, she would bleed.
Ji Yan, who was standing by, was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest, and she couldn't find her voice for a long time.
Lu Yunxi stared at Lu An Ning with wide eyes, breathing heavily, obviously still not coming to her senses.
Lu An Ning curled his lips: "What are you afraid of! It's just a joke."
She smiled and took back the dagger, carefully putting it away.
"The gift Fourth Brother gave me is indeed very suitable for me. Thank you!"
Everyone came back to their senses, and the brothers were also worried about Lu An Ning. Now they knew that Lu An Ning was deliberately trying to scare Lu Yunxi, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
However, looking at Lu Yunxi's pale face, it was clear that she was very scared just now.
Ji Yan came to his senses belatedly and his face darkened.
"Gu Yue, you're going too far. Yun Xi is pregnant with your second brother's child. If you scare her like this, what will happen to the baby in her belly? Just now, you almost hurt her."
Lu Anning smiled nonchalantly: "Isn't it okay? How come I can't even joke about being pregnant?"
Of course, she would not hurt Lu Yunxi. She was just making an example of her to scare the monkeys and for Ji Yan to see.
Last time, she dared to drug her. Who knows what she would do next. She had to let Ji Yan know that she was not a delicate little girl.
Apparently, this trick worked well.
Not only Lu Yunxi was frightened, but even Ji Yan's face turned pale, and the momentum of his voice was obviously much weaker.
Ji Yan held her breath and looked at Gu Zhiwei.
"Husband, aren't you going to take care of it?"
Gu Zhiwei coughed twice and said, "Alright. No one was hurt, but don't make jokes like this in front of your family anymore. Do you understand?"
Lu An Ning played with the delicate dagger in his hand and muttered softly, "How can she be considered a family member?"
The sound was very small, but everyone could vaguely hear it. Suddenly, Ji Yan and Lu Yunxi's faces became even uglier.
Gu Zhiwei noticed that his daughter's attitude today was particularly different. He had been tolerant in the past, but today he completely disregarded his wife's face.
What’s going on!
He inadvertently cast his gaze on Lu An Ning, with a bit of scrutiny, but he couldn't see through the girl's thoughts.
The living room suddenly fell silent after this shock. No one spoke again until the housekeeper came to say that dinner was ready. Then everyone got up and went to the dining room to eat.
Obviously, Lu Anning's joke worked very well. Ji Yan and Lu Yunxi were extremely quiet throughout the dinner. Even when she saw Lu Anning being taken care of by several brothers in turn while eating, and the dishes in front of her were piled up like a mountain, she just glanced at them twice and lowered her head to continue eating her own food.
It was hard for Lu Anning, as he ate a lot more.
After dinner, Lu Yunxi didn't even stay in the living room. She made the excuse that she was tired and went straight back to her room. After a while, Ji Yan also followed her upstairs with a plate of fruit. Only a few of them were left in the living room.
Seeing this, Lu Anning stood up and walked towards Gu Zhiwei.
"Dad, let's talk somewhere else?"
Her intuition told her that her brothers were probably unaware of this. She also didn't want to mess up the Gu family. Since this concerned her father's reputation, she still wanted to communicate with him alone first.
When the brothers heard this, they immediately became serious.
There is nothing they can't hear!
"Let's go to the study and talk."
Gu Zhiwei led the way in front, Lu Anning followed closely behind, leaving Tang Jingyuan to comfort his brothers.
Several people turned their eyes to Tang Jingyuan, trying to see something from him.
Tang Jingyuan curled his lips and said, "Sit down first! Let's talk while drinking tea."
Gu Yue sat down first, and the others followed suit with some doubt, but they were still thinking about the situation upstairs.
In the antique study, the moment the door closed, Lu Anning felt as if he was isolated in another world.
Gu Zhiwei leaned back in the mahogany armchair and looked at his little daughter carefully. After a while, he slowly spoke.
"Tell me! What's going on that has to make such a big fuss?"
Lu Anning took a deep breath and asked the question that had been bothering her for some time.
"I want to know who my biological mother is."
Gu Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Even if your mother and you don't have a good relationship, you don't have to talk like that. Your mother has her own reasons for doing this. You should give her more time."
Lu Anning smiled faintly: "I used to think it was a matter of time, but I recently discovered that time is not the real problem. I think that even if I give her another twenty years, it won't change her attitude towards me. After all, I'm not her biological daughter, right?"
"Ayue, do you know what you are saying? I don't want to hear this a second time."
"Even if I don't tell you, it won't change the facts. I know everything!"
As she spoke, she took out the paternity test results hidden in her bag and pushed them in front of her father.
"What exactly are you trying to hide? Do you not want to admit it, or have you been kept in the dark all these years?"
If it is the latter, then Ji Yan's methods are too terrible.
