Lu An Ning followed her all the way in, and when she returned to the Gu family, no one dared to look at her coldly anymore. When she saw Gu Yue, she was even more cautious.
Gu Zhiwei heard the movement at the entrance and slowly stood up. He didn't stand until Lu Anning changed her shoes and walked into the living room. He slowly raised his head. The eagle-like eyes in his memory were now cloudy, without the shrewd light of the past.
At this glance, Lu An Ning suddenly felt that her father was really old, and even his walking was not as brisk as before.
How long has it been since she last saw him?
Why did it feel like a century had passed? She even couldn't believe that the old man standing in front of her was really the once majestic head of the Gu family.
Gu Yue said from behind: "Dad, I'll bring A Yue back to stay for a few days."
After a while, Gu Zhiwei finally said, "Stay here! Ask Butler Zhou to clean up the room. Why are you the only ones back? Where are the others? Everyone needs to be together for dinner."
Lu An Ning saw him slowly moving towards him, using his crutches to support himself. When he got to him, he squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully for a long time, then snorted coldly.
"You can't even call me when you see me? You have the same bad temper as your mother!"
Lu Anning managed to utter two words: "Father!"
When I looked at him again, I felt mixed emotions.
Gu Zhiwei responded, straightening his back and muttering, "You're already grown up, don't forget the most basic manners. Don't abandon the rules! Even if you get married, don't forget that you're a child of the Gu family. Don't be away from home all day. None of you are reassuring."
As he spoke, he turned and walked back to the living room, sitting upright in his seat.
Ding Wan pulled Lu An Ning's sleeve, and the two turned and went upstairs.
In the room, Ding Wan sighed: "Did you see that? Who would have thought that the once majestic head of the Gu family would become like this? Just stay here and we'll talk about everything after this is over. Don't overthink it, everyone will be safe."
Lu Anning took a deep breath and nodded slightly. She really couldn't do anything right now, and not causing them any trouble would be the greatest help she could give them.
In order not to alert the enemy, Lu Anning went to work as usual, but the person who picked him up was Gu Yue.
Every morning when going out, Gu Zhiwei would sit in his seat and wait for Lu An Ning to greet her before she could go out.
She thought it would be awkward living in the Gu family, but seeing Gu Zhiwei like this now, taking a lot of medicine before and after meals every day, and the family doctor coming to do routine check-ups every day, she suddenly felt that majestic people can also be vulnerable at times.
Time is merciless and can take away so many things. My father, who was so high and mighty, had spent his entire life striving for fame and fortune, and he certainly could not have imagined that he would end up like this.
Today's Gu Zhiwei naturally reminds her of Tang Jingyuan's father, who was also a superior who was obsessed with fame and fortune. They seemed to have ended up in the same situation.
So, what about my future self?
What will be the end of her and Tang Jingyuan's lives?
Tang Jingyuan was very busy. She hadn't seen him for several days and only saw his message replies occasionally. Lu Anning resisted the urge to ask about the case and only paid attention to the daily news. She could also see news about the police clearing nightclubs every day. The tense atmosphere in Kyoto recently could be felt between the lines.
I just don’t know where my mother and second brother are at this moment?
Spring thunder roared, and thick, dark clouds hung heavy over the city, as if ready to rip a hole through the ground at any moment. A storm was about to arrive, but everything felt like the calm before the storm. She stood downstairs in the office, waiting for Gu Yue's car, her eyes glued to the phone in her arms.
Tang Jingyuan hasn't replied to his message for more than 24 hours, and even his fourth brother's phone is turned off.
Did they take action?
It was hard to feel at ease in such weather. She prayed silently, hoping that everyone would be safe and everything would go well.
The black Cullinan slowly stopped in front of Lu Anning. Gu Yue rolled down the window and reminded her, "Ayue, get in the car. It's going to rain heavily soon."
Lu Anning came to his senses and ran to open the car door.
The car isolated her from the outside world, but through the car window, she could still feel the strong wind outside.
"Brother, I've been feeling a bit uneasy these past couple of days. Do you think something might have happened? Jing Yuan hasn't replied to my messages for a whole day."
Gu Yue smiled and consoled him, "You're starting to overthink things again. Your fourth brother used to go on missions and sometimes we couldn't get in touch for half a month. That's normal. You're just not used to it for the time being! They're both very capable, so they'll be fine."
These words were spoken to Lu Anning, and Gu Yue also spoke to himself. No one mentioned how dangerous this incident was. At this moment, everyone just hoped that this matter would come to a successful and safe conclusion.
They had only walked halfway when heavy rain came pouring down. Lightning flashed across the sky and it was getting more and more intense. Lu Anning's heart became even more confused.
The rain was getting heavier, accompanied by thunder and lightning, which looked a bit scary. Lu Anning waited until midnight but still received no reply from Tang Jingyuan, so he could only force himself to sleep.
In her dream, the weather was just as extreme, the sea all around, and the sky was so dark it seemed to swallow the whole world. She saw Tang Jingyuan hanging on the deck, ready to be swept away by the waves at any moment. She panicked and wanted to do something, but found herself unable to move. She could only watch helplessly as the several-meter-high waves rolled towards Tang Jingyuan's boat...
She woke up suddenly, sitting on the bed gasping for breath. The scenes in her dream were still vivid in her mind, as if they were real.
Outside the window, the rain showed no sign of stopping, making her feel annoyed. Lu Anning immediately reached for her phone and called Gu Feng. This time, he finally turned on his phone.
