Lu Anning walked out of the police station filled with rage. From her rebirth until now, she'd been rejected, drugged, married suddenly, and severed ties with the Lu family. Now, she was in the police station again. She didn't even have time to breathe. To say she wasn't aggrieved would be a lie.
She didn't want to be a pawn in someone else's hands and be manipulated all her life.
The night wind blew away the mist in her eyes, and she forced a smile. Every step was her own choice, and she would not regret it no matter how difficult it was.
He and Tang Jingyuan had no feelings for each other to begin with, so was she still expecting him to develop feelings for her? Feelings were the most unreliable thing in the world, so she didn't have time for pretense. In just a few seconds, Lu Anning had already adjusted her mood.
When Tang Jingyuan followed him out, he vaguely saw the redness in Lu Anning's eyes that had not yet faded, and sighed softly.
"What happened today was my negligence. It won't happen again. It's late now. Let's go back first."
Lu An Ning responded. She knew that she didn't have the qualifications to be pretentious right now.
Out of guilt, Tang Jingyuan gentlemanly opened the door for Lu Anning and his eyes fell on her empty hands.
"Didn't you say you were going back to pack your luggage? Where are your things?"
"I don't have any luggage."
Tang Jingyuan hesitated for a moment. Lu Anning didn't say anything, so he didn't ask any more questions. The two of them left the police station together.
Tang Jingyuan did not go back to Ronghua Garden directly, but took Lu Anning to a nearby supermarket to buy daily necessities. Lu Anning did not bring anything with him. Since they were going to live together, some things still had to be prepared.
The two of them were silent along the way until they reached the food area. The aroma of meat wafted through the air, and Lu Anning's stomach couldn't help but growl a few times. The man chuckled.
Lu Anning raised his head and rolled his eyes at Tang Jingyuan: "Still laughing! It's all your fault."
"I'll take you out to eat after I buy it."
"That's what you said."
Lu Anning was truly hungry, and even his shopping movements were much faster. When it came time to pay, Tang Jingyuan handed over two small boxes. Lu Anning saw what was inside and felt a burning sensation in his hands.
The cashier looked back and forth between the two of them, smiling in a particularly ambiguous manner.
"Young people nowadays have great physical strength. He's so handsome, it's a pity he's not mine."
Lu Anning's face flushed red. After Tang Jingyuan paid, she dragged him out without looking back, telling herself that they were a legal couple and it was normal for them to buy some adult products.
On the way back, the two small boxes in the shopping bag were particularly conspicuous, as if reminding Lu An Ning what would happen tonight.
Just as she was daydreaming, the news broadcast in the car brought her back to her senses.
"Mr. Lu Zhenghao, Chairman of the Lu Group, held an emergency press conference at 7:00 PM tonight to publicly dissolve his relationship with Ms. Lu Anning. It's understood that Lu Anning was once the daughter adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Lu Zhenghao..."
Lu Anning's face froze. She knew that Lu Zhenghao would not let her go easily. She did not expect that he would act so quickly.
Her adoptive father is determined to block her path!
Lu Anning clenched her fists. Lu Yunxi and Pei Chengyi's upcoming engagement had just been announced, and now Lu Zhenghao had distanced himself from her. Once the news broke, those in the industry would weigh the pros and cons and most likely distance themselves from her. Fortunately, she was prepared.
The car stopped at the intersection waiting for the red light, and Tang Jingyuan changed the news.
Is that why she came empty-handed?
No wonder he was in such a mess, it turned out he was kicked out by the Lu family.
"How are you?"
Lu An Ning looked back and forced a smile. "I'm fine. Sorry to have made a fool of myself. As you can see, I refused to marry into the Pei family and was kicked out by the Lu family."
"The Pei family is not good?"
"You are not me, so you won't understand. In this life, I would rather live alone and miserable than enter the Pei family."
"Don't be so decisive."
"Didn't I marry you? Your last name is Tang."
Tang Jingyuan looked at Lu Anning thoughtfully. When the green light came on, Tang Jingyuan withdrew his thoughts and didn't say anything else.
Seeing this, Lu Anning simply laid it all out. Since she had broken with the Lu family today, her adoptive father would definitely not let her off easily. She was afraid that it would affect Tang Jingyuan in the future. Since they were already married, Tang Jingyuan had the right to know this.
"I refused to marry Pei Yongsheng, but my family wanted to make it a done deal. Last night, I escaped from Pei Yongsheng's bed."
Tang Jingyuan raised his eyebrows. Is he preparing to confront him?
"Are you in a hurry to get married just to stop the Lu family from thinking about it?"
Lu Anning nodded: "We get married for mutual benefit. From now on, I will fulfill my wife's duties and take good care of your children. Although I have broken up with the Lu family, I am capable on my own. If I don't go to the Lu family, I can go somewhere else. I will look for a job tomorrow."
Tang Jingyuan chuckled: "You are quite confident in yourself. Aren't you afraid that your adoptive father will target you in the industry?"
"If I dare to take this step, I will definitely have a back-up plan."
After leaving the Lu family, she could also support herself. Although she grew up in the Lu family, she was used to being independent and never relied on anyone easily.
As she spoke, the car had already driven into the yard, and this time, she didn't have to stand at the door anymore.
The two of them got out of the car one after the other. Tang Jingyuan picked up his things and led the way. He asked her casually, "Very confident! You dare to fight the entire Lu family alone?"
"If I don't resist, will I be like a fish on the chopping block?"
Lu Anning's eyes were determined. It was not certain who would beg whom in the end, and he might not lose.
