Gu Zhiwei stared at the file bag in front of him with a serious expression and did not move for a long time.
"What did you do?"
With just these few simple words, Lu Anning had already guessed the answer.
It seems that her father knew all this a long time ago.
What is the truth?
Lu Anning frowned: "Dad, there are some things that you have to face sooner or later. Just because you didn't know about it before doesn't mean it won't be discovered in the future."
She pushed the file bag aside and said, "Why don't you open it and take a look first? Maybe there's some news in there that you don't even know about."
Gu Zhiwei frowned, and after a long time, he opened the file bag.
The paternity test results filled his vision. Lu An Ning could see that he was trying his best to endure it, as if some bad memories were brought up by her.
It wasn't until he saw the results of the paternity test between Lu Yunxi and Ji Yan that he was completely stunned.
"That's impossible!"
He blurted out, his eyes full of suspicion.
"This is fake. Your mother is the only daughter in the Ji family. How could she have other relatives?"
Lu Anning lowered his eyes: "Are you sure you really understand the person beside you? Think about it, why did she insist on bringing Lu Yunxi back to the Gu family?"
So many things have happened, and now Lu Anning has to doubt that maybe even the so-called "life-saving grace" was not a coincidence.
The evidence was right before his eyes, and Gu Zhiwei had no choice but to believe it. For a moment, the study fell into a deathly silence, and Lu Anning almost thought time had stopped.
It was unknown how long had passed, but when Lu An Ning saw that Gu Zhiwei was reluctant to speak, he was about to speak when a cold voice suddenly enveloped the entire study.
"This matter ends here."
Lu Anning thought he had misheard and looked at Gu Zhiwei in disbelief.
Knowing that the lie was right in front of him, the father did not intend to expose it. Instead, he asked her to stop.
"Dad, did I hear you right? What does 'stop here' mean?"
"Don't investigate further! No matter what the truth is, Madam Gu is your mother now. She is your mother, understand?"
Lu Anning couldn't figure out Gu Zhiwei's thoughts and wanted to ask more questions, but before he could open his mouth, he was scolded by Gu Zhiwei.
"Some things are not for a junior like you to interfere in. Just pretend that you haven't found anything. Do you understand?"
Lu An Ning smiled: "You mean, I know she's not my mother, but I still pretend not to know? Even if I can endure it, can she do it? You don't know yet! In order to make Lu Yunxi stay in the Gu family, she took me to the temple to threaten me. When I refused, she detained me and knocked me unconscious, and then went to threaten Jing Yuan."
If Ji Yan had been a little more cruel at that time and had harbored more vicious thoughts, I would not have been able to sit here and talk to him.
"Otherwise, why do you think I would use Lu Yunxi to test the knife?"
Lu An Ning curled the corners of her mouth. She was not only scaring Lu Yunxi, but also Ji Yan who was standing beside her.
A hint of shock flashed across Gu Zhiwei's eyes, and his thick brows were furrowed, but soon relaxed again.
He sighed deeply. "Anyway, you're fine now. I order you not to investigate further. This document is not allowed to appear in front of your brothers. Do you understand?"
Lu Anning was puzzled: "I want to know the reason."
She stared into Gu Zhiwei's eyes and asked persistently, "Also, who is our biological mother? You know, right?"
At this time, Gu Zhiwei's expression was obviously wrong.
"You really have to know? Is this matter so important to you?"
"Of course! I absolutely must know. If you won't tell me, I'll have to look it up myself. I'm not capable enough on my own, but if I work with my brothers, we'll definitely find out."
Gu Zhiwei slammed his palm on the desk and suddenly became angry.
"Are you threatening me?"
"My daughter doesn't dare."
Lu An Ning said that he didn't dare, but his eyes were extremely firm. His neither humble nor arrogant look made Gu Zhiwei have an illusion that the person in front of him was not Lu An Ning, but that person.
"Don't dare? What else do you dare not do?"
He stared at the document in front of him and sighed again, "Forget it. If I don't tell you, you'll probably end up making a scene. Tomorrow, I'll take you to see the answer you want."
Lu Anning's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?"
"You've already found out, how can I hide it? But your brothers don't know about it. This is not something to be happy about. If possible, I hope they will never know."
Lu Anning hesitated. Her father was reminding her not to let her brothers know the truth.
"But I..."
"When you find out the truth tomorrow, you'll understand why I did this. It's better to be still than to act. I know it's Ji Yan's mistreatment of you that's what made you suspicious. You've been wronged these days, and from now on, I won't force you to put on a fake smile for her. I just hope you can keep this secret for now in front of your brothers."
Lu Anning frowned: "Even if I don't tell them, with their shrewdness, they will find out sooner or later."
Before, when she was not at the Gu family, Ji Yan treated her sons the same way, so they naturally didn't notice. But after she came back, the problem was exposed.
Didn’t the eldest brother question Ji Yan’s attitude towards him before?
This is not a good way to solve the problem!
Gu Zhiwei sighed helplessly, "Then let's wait until they find out! Anyway, apart from your eldest brother, the others aren't often at home. At least, they've been happy these past few years."
Lu Anning clenched his fist and agreed to his father's proposal after careful consideration.
"I just agreed and didn't tell them."
