Lu An Ning looked at the crushed incense, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but he forced himself to hold it back.
Tang Jingyuan frowned and held Lu Anning's hand in silent comfort. When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction towards Ji Yan.
"Even if you don't like Ningning, she means well. How can you think of her like this!"
Lu Anning took a deep breath and pulled Tang Jingyuan.
"Jingyuan, forget it, I'm fine."
She forced a smile. "It seems you don't like this scent. But it's a pity that Professor An's kindness is wasted. Many people beg for this thing but can't get it. I had to say a lot of nice things to get Professor An's consent. If she knew..."
Lu Anning didn't say anything else. Gu Zhiwei had already thought of the consequences, and his eyes were full of anger when he looked at Ji Yan.
"The child's heart was in your heart, and you had to ruin it. Do you think everyone is as narrow-minded as you? Professor An would never do such a thing!"
"Okay! You all believe an outsider and not me. That woman came back just to get revenge on me, do you know that? She's back, and she wants to destroy everything I have. Lu Anning is her accomplice. Gu Zhiwei, if you don't believe me, you won't have a good ending."
Gu Zhiwei's face turned pale. Seeing that he couldn't stop Ji Yan, he called Aunt Zhao and was about to take Ji Yan back to the room to keep an eye on her. At this time, there was a noise at the door. Everyone looked towards the door. It was Gu Yu who came back.
Gu Yu heard the quarrel before he even entered the house and was wondering what was going on at home.
Before he could change his shoes, Ji Yan rushed to Gu Yu as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Ayu! You are the best. Tell them, is there something wrong with these things? That woman wants to harm me. And Lu Anning, they are all in cahoots. They just want me to have nothing, and I won't let them succeed. Go tell your father, is there something wrong with these incense?"
Gu Yu was confused and looked at Lu An Ning in confusion.
Lu An Ning sighed softly, "It was me. I heard that my mother was in a trance and couldn't sleep at night. Even my father was affected. So I shamelessly went to Professor An and asked for the recipe for this calming incense. I made this incense. But my mother thought I would harm her, so she crushed everything."
Tang Jingyuan felt distressed and held her in his arms to protect her.
"Mrs. Gu has never liked Ningning, and everyone can see it. I made this incense with her in the lab. To make it, Professor An even sprained his ankle and stayed with her in the lab without a break. Ningning had to talk her into it until she was tired of it, and finally persuaded Professor An to tell her the recipe for the calming incense. If you don't like it, you can just give it up, but how can you crush Ningning's kindness?"
Tang Jingyuan has always been a man of few words. Most of the time, when he accompanied An Ning back to the Gu family, the number of times he spoke could be counted on one hand. This was the first time he spoke so much, and it was to speak fair words for Lu An Ning.
Gu Yu was about to speak when Tang Jingyuan blocked his mouth again.
"I know you'll say she's a mother and hasn't been doing well lately. Ningning is the younger generation, so you should understand. But think about it, what did Ningning do wrong? Who will understand her? She's been away from home for more than 20 years and hasn't enjoyed the love of her family. Now that she's back, you suspect she has ulterior motives. She just wants to be closer to her family. She's the one who feels the most wronged. If you don't welcome her like this, Ningning and I won't be coming back."
Lu Anning looked at Tang Jingyuan in shock. They had agreed to act according to circumstances before coming here, but she had never expected him to say so much. And these words just hit the nail on the head.
Initially, she did think so. She had not felt wronged at first, but suddenly she felt mixed emotions.
She will also feel wronged!
The living room was completely silent. Tang Jingyuan was so imposing that he didn't even give them a chance to retort. After that, he took Lu Anning's hand and strode away.
Gu Zhiwei looked at their backs as they left, sighed deeply, and looked at the incense on the ground with some heartache.
What a shame about Professor Alice’s calming incense!
"Are you satisfied now?"
Ji Yan snorted coldly: "They are deliberately acting, can't you see it?"
Now, even Gu Yu couldn't bear it anymore.
"Mom, isn't it time for you to reflect on yourself? This time, you really went too far."
"Am I overdoing it? Take a look at this incense first. I guarantee there's something wrong with it."
Seeing Ji Yan's confident expression, Gu Yu became suspicious and walked towards the broken incense on the ground. Since it was a medicinal scent, he could smell what was inside.
He squatted down, picked up a small piece of broken incense, put it to his nose and sniffed it, then carefully examined the incense powder, frowning slightly.
Ji Yan smiled proudly: "How is it? I was right, wasn't I? I knew there must be something in it that is bad for the body."
Gu Yu sighed deeply, "This is made with agarwood as the main ingredient, with spices like spikenard, angelica, lavender, and milky white added to soothe the nerves. They are all things that soothe the mind and calm the heart, and will do nothing bad for your current body. How could you think she would harm you?"
"Impossible! How could she be so kind? You must have seen it wrong. Absolutely not!"
Gu Yu looked at his hysterical mother and felt that she was hopeless.
"Mom, if you don't trust me, then send it to a testing agency. But, you're really disheartening. If you're not feeling well, don't be shy about not seeing a doctor. It's disheartening to keep bothering those around you."
After saying that, Gu Yu no longer paid attention to Ji Yan, said hello to Gu Zhiwei, and returned to his room.
Gu Zhiwei was too lazy to pay attention to her. He glared at her coldly and followed her upstairs. Ji Yan was the only one left in the living room. She stared at the incense on the ground in a daze. She still didn't believe that there was anything wrong with the incense.
