Without waiting for Lu An Ning's response, An Li said something even more shocking.
"More than that! I can even let your eldest brother completely replace your father, as long as he is willing."
The compartment was in a commotion, and Lu Anning was still considering the amount of information contained in the professor's words. So, she wanted nothing but revenge on her father.
Seeing that Lu An Ning was slow to speak, An Li thought she had frightened her.
She smiled gently and changed the subject.
"You can go back and think about what I just said. Since I've decided to tell you the truth, I'm not afraid of your eldest brother finding out. Why don't you find a suitable opportunity to ask him about his relationship with your father?"
Lu An Ning pursed her lips. Her elder brother was a man of deep thoughts, and she couldn't see through him. There were some things that she didn't dare to tell him without being absolutely sure.
In the Gu family, she only saw her eldest brother obeying his father. In fact, before this, her father represented the authority of the Gu family, and no one dared to go against his will.
It is precisely because of this that he had such a big reaction when he saw that he was not obeying him.
Now she rashly brought up the idea of asking her elder brother to replace their father's position in the Gu family. She didn't know if her elder brother had the courage to do so.
An Li took a sip of tea and said slowly, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Every leader has his own ambitions. Perhaps what you see is just the surface."
"The only way to know what my eldest brother thinks is to ask him in person. When there is a suitable opportunity, I will test the waters first."
If she could make her elder brother her own, everything she wanted to do would definitely be much easier.
To be honest, Lu Anning was moved.
On the way back, Lu Anning kept thinking about this matter. But his eldest brother grew up in the Gu family, and his father was more like his life belief over the years.
The only way for the eldest brother to take action against his father is to let him know the truth.
Lu Anning hesitated!
Knowing the truth, can you accept it, brother?
It may also backfire!
She remembered that her eldest brother once said that Ji Yan had always been very good to him, but her father was very strict with him.
Lu Anning sighed softly and withdrew his thoughts. Only then did he realize that Tang Jingyuan had been looking at him.
Seeing her sigh, Tang Jingyuan gently embraced her in his arms.
"I'm worried. Should I let your eldest brother know the truth?"
Lu Anning nodded: "If you tell him the truth, the chances of convincing him will be greater."
"You're also worried that he will unconditionally defend your father."
"Am I overthinking it again?"
"When it comes to uncertain things, you might as well give it a try. Trust your judgment! What kind of person do you think your eldest brother is?"
Lu Anning frowned, recalling everything that happened after he met Gu Yue, and made a decision in his heart.
Lu Anning found an excuse to take wedding photos and brought Ding Wan and Gu Yue along.
At first, Gu Yue wanted to refuse.
Lu An Ning asked with a smile on the phone, "Brother, do you still want to evade responsibility? You and Ding Wan are only missing a marriage certificate."
Gu Yue was speechless on the phone.
Last night, his father mentioned to him that he had picked out two suitable days and asked him to choose one and go to register with Ding Wan this morning, and not to delay too long.
"She may not have the time."
"Ding Wan has already agreed, and she's very interested."
Gu Yue had no more excuses to refuse and agreed. Several people arranged their work in advance, three days and two nights, and booked the exterior of the ancient city.
Tang Lianfeng offered them an alternative overseas travel photoshoot, but it was time-consuming. Coincidentally, Lu Anning also liked the Chinese style, so they opted for the Ancient City Resort.
Gu Yue was not in the company, so Gu Zhiwei took over the company's work. On the way there, Lu Anning heard Gu Yue mention that he had made an appointment with the professor to play golf and discuss academic issues.
Lu Anning raised an eyebrow: "Didn't father dislike this kind of socializing before? He just had a scandal, so why didn't he avoid it?"
"Dad said that people avoid things when they feel guilty. He's an open and honest person, so there's nothing for him to hide from."
"Then... isn't he afraid of Madam Gu making a fuss?"
Gu Yue turned around and glanced at Lu An Ning: "It's no use for her to make a fuss. At home, Dad has the final say."
Lu An Ning smiled and stopped talking about it. He had a plan in mind.
On the passenger seat, Ding Wan handed over a box of fruit. Lu Anning ate happily along the way, occasionally giving Tang Jingyuan a piece. The four of them driving by themselves really felt like a wedding vacation.
"I think we can even go on a honeymoon together then."
"By the way! I told you guys you guys were going to have a physical exam. Did you guys go? Don't drink or stay up late two days before the exam."
Gu Yue was giving instructions while driving, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was successfully blocked by Ding Wan. A burst of laughter came from the car. Lu Anning had already seen his elder brother's meager family status after marriage.
"Brother, what do you think about the matter between father and professor?"
Gu Yue said without hesitation, "Impossible! My parents have a good relationship, and Professor Gu is also very qualified. If she wants to find a partner, she has countless options, and it can't be Dad. Don't let those news influence you."
"I just feel that my father's attitude towards the professor is particularly different and much more earnest."
"Dad probably wants to have a long-term partnership with the professor. Businessmen, business is business. Even if Dad makes a mistake, the professor is so smart that she won't allow anyone to ruin her reputation."
Lu Anning stared at Gu Yue's profile and smiled slightly. Just now, she almost thought that her eldest brother trusted their father unconditionally. It turned out that the last sentence was the key.
Gu Yue, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that the person in the back seat looked a little different from usual. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
