After leaving the hospital, Gu Yue was completely distraught and even misplaced his car. Lu Anning was really worried and snatched the car keys from his hand, not daring to let him drive in such a state.
The news about Lu Yunxi really shocked them. Lu Anning guessed some of it, but she didn't expect that their father was the mastermind behind all this. She even thought that maybe her father was just a victim.
As for Gu Yue, he found it difficult to accept it for a while, and Lu Anning could understand.
After all, he had always regarded his father as his life goal, but in the end he found out that he was a cold-blooded and ruthless person, and the mother he had always loved turned out to be his murderer.
absurd!
ridiculous!
Gu Yue slowly came back to his senses, his eyes filled with hatred, and he was about to take the car keys back.
"Ayue, I don't believe it. I have to go and ask him in person whether he has done these things!"
How could the father he was so proud of be such a cruel and cold-blooded scum!
Seeing that Gu Yue was not in a good state, Lu Anning quickly hid the key.
"Brother, calm down. If we ask him now, there's no way he'll admit it. With his personality, he'll just bite back at Lu Yunxi, accusing her of slandering you and scolding you for not trusting your biological parents. By then, you'll definitely be shaken. We don't have any evidence right now, and once Dad finds out, he'll definitely silence Lu Yunxi."
During this journey, Lu Anning had already figured these things out.
When she learned that her biological mother was someone else, she also questioned her father, but all she got was a story full of lies.
A father would not allow anyone to know his miserable state, not even his own children.
"He's always been training you as his successor. How could he possibly let you see his unbearable side? If you ask him now, you'll be the one who ends up in a mess."
Lu Anning's words left Gu Yue stunned. His eyes were red and his heart was broken.
"Then what do you want me to do? One is my beloved father, and the other is my mother, whom I have lived with day and night for decades. They are the people closest to me."
Gu Yue wasn't cold by nature, he just wasn't good at expressing his emotions. Just like now, he couldn't accept the facts.
"I understand how you feel, but, brother, impulsiveness is useless. You have to pretend you don't know until we find evidence. I won't force you to do anything, but I must seek justice for Mom. They ruined her life, and I won't let them get away with it."
She would avenge her mother, but not in the way Lu Yunxi hoped.
"What are you going to do?"
Lu Anning restrained his expression and said, "Lu Yunxi said that the people most likely to know the truth are Aunt Zhao who is by Ji Yan's side, and the housekeeper Zhou De. Next, we can start with both of them."
She looked at Gu Yue. After all, she didn't live in the Gu family. Aunt Zhao and Zhou De would definitely be wary of her, but Gu Yue was different.
He was the future heir of the Gu family, having grown up there. Whatever he said commanded a certain amount of authority among the Gu family servants. If he let his eldest brother approach them, it might be more effective than if he did it himself.
Gu Yue took a deep breath and nodded in agreement with Lu An Ning.
"Just now, I was impulsive."
He looked at his calm little sister and felt ashamed of himself.
"I didn't expect that your character is better than mine."
Lu Anning smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I'm kind-hearted, but I had already guessed half of it before I came here. Besides, my feelings for them can't compare to the affection you have for them after spending decades with them day and night."
Along the way, she had seen too much of the fickleness of human nature, so naturally her expectations were reduced. When she heard Lu Yunxi say this incredible fact, her heart did not fluctuate much.
She always knew that neither her father nor Ji Yan were good people.
Looking at Gu Yue's distraught back as he left, Lu An Ning was still a little worried and called Ding Wan.
"Future sister-in-law, I think it's best for you to go and keep my brother company. He's not in a good condition... and he might need some comfort."
Ding Wan, who was just wondering what to do tonight, suddenly perked up: "What special happened?"
Even through the screen, Lu An Ning could feel her gossipy heart.
Lu Anning smiled politely: "Is that the point? The point is, my brother needs you."
Ding Wan understood immediately: "I'll go find him now. Thanks! I'll give you something nice later."
That night, Lu Anning saw Ding Wan posting on WeChat Moments. A profile face was leaning on her shoulder, and he looked like her somewhat depressed older brother. The background was actually a bar.
They met, but this time it was Gu Yue who took the initiative to invite Ding Wan out for a drink. Ding Wan mastered the art of playing hard to get.
Lu Anning knew what was good for him and stopped disturbing him. At this moment, it was enough for his elder brother to have Ding Wan by his side.
Only after returning home did Lu An Ning completely drop her disguise. Lu Yunxi's words contained so much information that she needed some time to process it.
She sat quietly on the sofa alone, feeling a strong sense of longing in her heart and wanting to hug Tang Jingyuan urgently.
On the lit phone screen were the few words she had edited. After hesitating, she pressed the send button and stared at the phone, waiting for the other party's response.
After a while, the phone vibrated and Tang Jingyuan's profile picture popped up, along with his two-word reply: Wait for me!
She looked at her phone, Tang Jingyuan's gentle eyes appeared in her mind, and she was a little absent-minded.
At this moment, a voice behind her woke her up.
"Ma'am, are you okay? Did something happen?"
It was clearly a concerned tone, but when Lu An Ning saw Aunt Li standing in front of her with a fruit platter eagerly in her hand, she couldn't help but become alert.
Lu Anning shook his head: "I'm fine. Just put the fruit down. I don't want to eat it yet."
"Madam, I'm just concerned about you. Don't keep anything to yourself. Tell me about it, and maybe I can give you some advice. Actually, your husband is so kind, and the Gu and Tang families love you so much, what else could you be dissatisfied with? If I were to tell you, you have to know how to be content. If I had even one-tenth of your luck, I'd be smiling in my sleep!"
