Chapter 133: Chapter 133 What is the Gu Family Up to?
“Wanwan, why haven’t you come home recently? Dad knows you want to stay at school after the semester started, but you should still visit me,”
Lu Wanwan listened to the smiling voice on the other end of the phone.
More than a week had passed since the engagement, and she hadn’t returned to the Lu Family once, but her father never asked.
Why was he suddenly calling now?
“Dad, is there something wrong?”
“What are you saying, does your father need to have a reason to look for you? You are my daughter, it’s right for you to come and see your father. Although you are engaged to Gu Annan now, and maybe you don’t need to ask your father for tuition fees, we’re still family; you should come home for a meal.”
“Dad, just say what it is you want to say.”
“Wanwan, where are you now?”
“I’m at the Gu Family.”
“Then do you have time to come home for a meal tomorrow? Look at you, last time you went home, you didn’t even eat before you left.”
Lu Wanwan was silent for a moment, “Tomorrow evening, is that it? Alright.”
“Good, good, good. Tomorrow, you and young master Gu come back for a meal together, and dad will have someone make your favorite dishes.”
She sneered coldly, “He doesn’t have time.”
“Then when does he have time? Why don’t you discuss a time with young master Gu? Look, after the engagement, he hasn’t visited. Shouldn’t he come home with his fiancee? Or is there something you can’t tell me, Wanwan?”
“I’ll ask him. I have something else to do now, goodbye.”
Lu Wanwan hung up the phone quickly, frowning.
On the other end, after hanging up, Lu Jingtian, surrounded by Lin Yu and her daughter, was being eagerly anticipated.
Lu Jingtian rubbed his chin, “She said she is at Gu’s.”
Lu Kexin furrowed her brows, “But dad, she really hasn’t been to the Gu’s at all recently and hasn’t had any contact with Gu Annan.”
Lin Yu expressed her difficulty, “It’s also hard to say what the Gu Family is scheming. I find the engagement unreliable. It’s not like they’re married.”
“Alright, let’s talk about it when she comes back tomorrow evening,” Lu Jingtian said, somewhat irritated.
If the marriage alliance with the Gu Family wasn’t viable, he would have to think of another plan. He couldn’t let Gu Annan waste so much time and have it all come to nothing.
After leaving the room, Lu Kexin clenched her fists tightly and snorted, “Recently, I’ve been too embarrassed to meet anyone. I, the illegitimate daughter, thought I could marry into the Gu Family, but I was rejected right then and there. This has spread among my new friends! Now, I’ve become a joke.”
Lin Yu spoke in a low voice, “It’s just a pity that the reporters I found in Tokyo were too useless; they were kicked out of the country by Bai Lingyun’s people. Otherwise, if we could make the Gu Family face scandal, she definitely wouldn’t end well! Don’t worry, maybe Gu Annan has just changed his mind temporarily. I don’t think their relationship is that close.”
“Mom, you don’t know…” Lu Kexin hesitated before she finally said only, “Anyway, after climbing the high branch, Lu Wanwan will definitely not let us off easily. We must not let her have her way!”
Lu Wanwan held the phone with an ugly expression on her face.
As she walked to the living room, she saw Gu Annan standing under the light, turning back to her with an inquiring look, obviously asking about the phone call she had just had.
“It was my dad.” Lu Wanwan explained, “He said he wanted me to come home for a meal tomorrow, and asked you to come with me…”
Considering their inexplicable engagement relationship, Gu Annan had no obligation to accompany her back.
She didn’t want to go, but she still hoped a little that he would agree.
Just like these past few days, he often did things that took her by surprise.
