The request made by Lu An Ning made everyone in the Gu family feel uneasy for a long time, and everyone had their own thoughts on the way back.
As soon as he arrived home, Gu Zhiwei called his three sons to the study. No matter how favored Lu Yunxi was, when it came to matters concerning the family's interests, she could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.
She is an outsider after all!
Watching several figures disappear on the second floor, Lu Yunxi's expression darkened. When she looked up again, there was obvious loneliness in her eyes.
Ji Yan noticed that something was wrong with her and accompanied her back to the room.
"Don't let your imagination run wild, okay?"
Lu Yunxi nodded: "My parents and brothers have been very kind to me. Sister An Ning is originally a member of this family. I am the superfluous one. It's a good thing that she is back."
When Lu Anning was mentioned, a hint of displeasure flashed in Ji Yan's eyes.
"Even though she's my biological daughter, she's still not as caring as you. Mom still likes you more! Even if she comes back in the future, she can't shake your position in this family, understand?"
Lu Yunxi forced out a smile that was uglier than crying. She knew very well that Ji Yan could not stop Gu Zhiwei from making any decision, and she would not interfere in the company's affairs.
"Mom will take you out more often. If we meet someone suitable, I'll help you pick a man with a good family background. If you marry well, why are you worried about not having a place at home? Your dad and I love you."
"Thanks, Mom! I just want to spend more time with you guys now."
She acted coquettishly, hugged Ji Yan tightly, and began to think in her heart.
If the Gu family really agreed to Lu An Ning's request and she successfully returned, she would have to first win the hearts of this family and stabilize her position.
Inside the study, several men were silent, and the oppressive atmosphere made it almost hard to breathe.
I don’t know how long it took before Gu Zhiwei broke the silence.
"What do you think of what happened tonight?"
Gu Yu was indignant and spoke first, with a scornful smile in his eyes: "Ten percent, she has quite a big appetite."
Gu Huai snorted softly: "We are all children of the Gu family. In fact, her request is quite reasonable. She hasn't even asked us to make up for her losses over the past twenty years."
Gu Yu frowned: "Ahuai, do you mean she will lose more?"
"Second brother, you never care about these things. Why are you reacting so strongly today? Could it be that you're taking your anger out on her because of Professor Xie?"
Gu Yu's eyes dodged, and he quickly drank a sip of tea: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"If you can't handle Professor Xie, you should think about whether there's something wrong with your attitude. I've told you before that there are a lot of problems between you two, and now they've all erupted. Don't put the blame on others! Even without her, Professor Xie and you would still be at odds."
Gu Yu was dissatisfied: "You still don't have a girlfriend, and you still have the nerve to criticize me? Don't act like you know everything."
"Of course I understand..."
"Alright. I didn't call you here to listen to you two bickering. You can slowly work out your emotional issues behind closed doors later. Now let's talk about your sister."
Gu Zhiwei glared at his two sons. One was devoted to studying Traditional Chinese Medicine, the other was cynical. Gu Zhiwei couldn't rely on them. He sighed and fixed his gaze on Gu Yue.
"Ayue, what do you think?"
Gu Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, and the expression on Lu An Ning's face when he made the request emerged in his mind, and a smile quickly flashed across the corner of his mouth.
"Don't you think she looks a lot like us?"
"Go on."
"Today, I saw the ambition of the Gu family in her eyes. No one says that the daughters of the Gu family have to be obedient. This is the new century, and there are many ambitious girls. Didn't Dad teach us back then that to be your children, we must be tenacious and ambitious. No matter what we do, we should either not do it or do it to the best of our ability. Otherwise, we brothers wouldn't have achieved what we have today."
After Gu Yue said this, Gu Yu and Gu Huai fell into deep thought.
Having said that, they thought of Lu Anning again and realized that he really looked like their child, with that arrogance coming from his bones.
"You mean, I should agree to her?"
"It's mutually beneficial, not impossible. But we can also make demands. If I remember correctly, she hasn't had a wedding yet. Our sister, your only daughter, how can we rush the wedding? Regardless of status or wedding, we can hold a grand ceremony."
Gu Zhiwei looked at Gu Yue thoughtfully, as if he understood what his eldest son meant.
However, after agreeing to the girl's request, Gu Zhiwei always felt that he, as a father, was being manipulated, and he didn't feel very happy.
Does he, as a father, have to bow to his daughter?
"Dad, you do have to take responsibility for my sister's disappearance. She didn't ask you to make up for the debt you owed her over the years, which was considered mercy."
Gu Zhiwei frowned: "You've been speaking up for that girl all day. What's wrong? Have you changed your personality?"
Gu Yue was stunned for a moment before realizing his attitude.
Change of sex?
That's not the case. He was just shocked by the way this girl made conditions to her father today, and he found it interesting instead.
Who says that a younger sister must be weak, helpless and pitiful?
Seeing her like a little hedgehog, Gu Yue actually found her cute.
"The blood relationship is there, and you also said that we will all be a family from now on. The children of the Gu family will never turn their elbows outward."
Gu Zhiwei snorted lightly. Although he didn't agree, he didn't refuse either. In the end, he just said, "Let me think about it."
Several sons left first, and Gu Zhiwei was left alone in the study. He couldn't help but recall Lu Anning's stubborn look in his mind, sighing and frowning from time to time.
That girl, can't she just be humble and say something nice?
