Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Facing His Tremendous Pressure Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Facing His Tremendous Pressure Lu Family’s dinner made her feel nauseous.
She constantly felt observed, and every time she looked at those watching her, she only saw smiles without any hint of criticism.
Whether it was Dad, stepmom, or Lu Kexin.
“Wanwan, eat more, this is your favorite,” Lu Jingtian added another piece of salmon to her plate.
Lu Wanwan suddenly put down her chopsticks, “I’m full.”
Lin Yu urged, “Wanwan, why are you eating so little? Do you think the taste of the food is off today? Your rare visit home, and if the meal isn’t good, it’s my fault, it’s all because Auntie didn’t prepare well.”
“I don’t know if my sister is still not happy about what happened before,” Lu Kexin said grievously, “Sister, I’m sorry, I really didn’t know about Gu Annan’s arrangements at the time, I didn’t mean to think I was the one…”
“Alright, that was all a misunderstanding, let’s not bring up the past,” Lu Jingtian glancing at the daughter who brought up what shouldn’t have been mentioned, shook his head helplessly, “Let’s have dessert.”
Lu Wanwan, seeing how harmonious their family seemed, felt like she didn’t belong.
Even Gu Annan, who was merely a guest, seemed more like one.
“No need,” she said indifferently, “I really am full. Dad, you asked me to come back for a meal, and I’ve already eaten.”
Lu Jingtian was taken aback and his brows furrowed.
He hadn’t expected her to speak to him with such an official tone.
With his daughter acting , how was he going to bring up some cooperation matters with Gu Annan?
Could it be that Lu Wanwan had said quite a few bad things about him?
Gu Annan leisurely put down his chopsticks and handed her a napkin, “You go upstairs after you’ve finished eating. Didn’t you say earlier that there were some things at home you needed to sort out?”
Lu Wanwan looked at him in surprise; she had said her things were at school, right?
Actually, Lu Mansion hardly had anything of hers… No! There were things!
She really wanted to know why the photos that were only kept at home were leaked.
Lin Yu was slightly startled and quickly said, “Let Kexin accompany you upstairs…”
Lu Wanwan stood up and saw Lu Kexin hastily stand up as well.
“No need,” she looked at Lu Kexin, “I’m just going back to my own room, I’m not unfamiliar with the way. This is my home, and I don’t need anyone to lead me upstairs!”
Lu Kexin, about to speak, was choked by her words.
In the end, as Lu Wanwan went upstairs, all she could do was worry silently.
Lin Yu then laughed lightly, “Wanwan is right, but Auntie didn’t mean that. Kexin, why don’t you go get the gift you bought for your sister and give it to her?”
Gu Annan spoke indifferently, his sharp gaze sweeping over, “Perhaps it’s better to sit down.”
Sitting at the head of the dining table with a hint of a cold smile, he looked at these people.
“Mrs. Lu seems rather flustered,” he observed.
Lin Yu maintained a forced smile on her face, “Mr. Gu is such a joker…”
“Mr. Gu seems to have something to say,” Lu Jingtian grew inexplicably nervous.
Even though Gu Annan was a junior, sitting there before him made him feel as though he couldn’t assert his seniority at all, nor dare to act contrary.
Facing Gu Annan’s pressure was even greater than facing the discontented shareholders in the boardroom.
“I’ve heard something recently, someone wants to create a scandal for the Gu Family,” he said casually.
Both Lin Yu and Lu Kexin were startled.
“What? Has Mr. Gu found out who it is?” Lu Jingtian asked seriously.
