Lu Anning looked at him warily: "She has nothing to do with you anymore."
Gu Zhiwei chuckled and said, "She is the mother of several of my children. Whether she is related or not is not up to you to decide."
"What do you want to do?"
Lu Anning thought of the tragedy of that year. Could it be that his father, at his age, still wanted to repeat the past?
"I won't let you hurt her again! Not only me, but even my brother and the others won't allow you to do anything wrong if they find out. Don't forget, you and Ji Yan are still a legal couple. She's just crazy, not dead."
"An Li is so powerful now, how could I possibly hurt her? You've been wandering around for all these years, and now that you're back, isn't your biggest wish to be reunited with your family? Now is the best opportunity! Why don't you listen to my thoughts first, and then make a decision."
Gu Zhiwei looked at Lu An Ning carefully, making no secret of his calculations towards her.
Lu Anning's face turned cold: "You don't think that getting stabbed can repay the harm you caused my mother back then! I have not forgiven you."
"Of course this blow can't make up for it, so I have a better opportunity to make up for what I owed your mother over the years."
Lu Anning frowned and looked at him warily: "What do you want to say?"
"After all, I wasted her life. Now, I am the head of the Gu family, and my status and position are there. As long as you agree, I am willing to marry her openly and treat her well for the rest of my life. In this way, you will have a complete family, isn't that great? She is a woman, and she still needs someone to love her."
Lu Anning couldn't help laughing: "Where's Ji Yan?"
"Ji Yan, I can find a way to divorce her. From now on, she will be the mistress of the Gu family, and no one will dare to say anything. I owe her this!"
"You should tell my mother directly about these things."
Lu Anning curled his lips, piercing Gu Zhiwei's disguise: "Again, my mother doesn't want to see you at all. You have no choice but to come to me."
Even though his thoughts were seen through, Gu Zhiwei was not embarrassed at all.
"That's why I say you're smart. You see through everything before I even finish what I'm saying. You're worthy of being the daughter of me and your mother."
"Now, you can get to the point."
Such sugar-coated bullets have long been useless to her. She knows her father well; he would never do anything that would not benefit him. Ji Yan had just been exposed for mental problems and sent to a mental hospital, but Gu Zhiwei was anxious to get close to her mother. Wasn't he afraid of destroying his image as a doting wife?
unless……
"If I marry An Li, it will be a win-win situation for both of us."
"oh?"
"An Li has the most powerful R&D team, and the Gu family is even more powerful in the pharmaceutical industry. If she and I become a family, I believe it won't be long before the Gu family can monopolize the entire pharmaceutical market. Traditional Chinese medicine is far superior to Western medicine, I believe you have already seen it. Your mother is an expert in medicine, and her research on medicinal herbs is even more in-depth. With her leading the team, the Gu family will surely become a world-leading pharmaceutical family. Do you know what it means to control the pharmaceutical industry in the future?"
As Gu Zhiwei spoke, he seemed to see the perfect blueprint he had imagined.
"Having money and power is nothing. No matter how powerful these people are, they cannot escape birth, old age, sickness, and death. Only by controlling life can you control everything. As long as your mother and I work together, you can imagine that the Gu family will definitely be the only family standing at the top of the pyramid in the future. Your mother's ability can completely control the life and death of others."
After saying so much, Lu Anning remained indifferent.
"These are all the benefits of the Gu family. What about my mother? Give her a reason why she must have you! As for money, Jing Yuan can also support her! In terms of technology, you don't seem to have an advantage. As for men...tsk tsk tsk!"
Lu An Ning sneered, "You're so old, what can you give my mother? With her current status, any man she wants is just a snap of her fingers. Father, you seem to overestimate yourself!"
Gu Zhiwei realized what she said and his face turned dark.
"Your mother is not that kind of person!"
"After all these years, are you sure you still understand her? The last time I took her to a nightclub, she was much more familiar with her than I am. Tell me, given your current situation, what does my mother want from you? Because you're older? Or because of you..."
Lu An Ning didn't finish the second half of the sentence and looked down.
Gu Zhiwei stared at Lu An Ning with wide eyes. He never expected that she would be so bold to mock him. This was a complete challenge to his dignity as a man.
"How dare you! I'm your father. Who allowed you to talk to me like that?"
Lu Anning shrugged, "I'm just stating the truth. Men, after all! Their blooming period is very short. Dad, there's no need to hide anything in front of me. Even if you take good care of yourself, you can't be better than an 18-year-old male athlete! My mom likes that now. You can't do that!"
She clicked her tongue, raised her slender jade fingers, and waved them left and right in front of him, denying his ability, full of sarcasm.
"What a disgrace!"
"I grew up outside, so I only know how to talk. I told you not to meet, but you insisted. Now you're mad at yourself, which is really not worth it. I say, you should be more open-minded and stop trying to hold on to everything. Let go when it's time to let go. Just stay home and bask in the sun every day. Isn't that a good life?"
"Win-win! What do you know? It's a win-win situation."
"I've given you all the benefits, and you think my mom is a fool! Your suggestion is not bad. If you want me to help you, I'll give you an idea."
Gu Zhiwei frowned, half believing and half doubting: "What do you want?"
"Why don't you transfer all your assets to my mother's name? She will definitely be moved by your sincerity."
Gu Zhiwei's angry roar was heard in the ward, and the pillow was smashed to the ground. Lu Anning dodged it easily. Seeing that Gu Zhiwei was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, he decided to stop while he was ahead, smiled and waved goodbye and left the ward.
"Once you've made up your mind, you can always come to me."
