Gu Ziyan said in a deep voice, her eyes carrying a trace of pleading.

She was not a fool, so she could tell that Lu Jingling was pursuing her in a different way. She was grateful for what he had done, but that was a different matter.

Although Gu Anning was Lu Jingling's biological son, Gu Ziyan did not plan to tell him about this matter. She even wanted to hide it from him for the rest of her life. It was all for the sake of giving Gu Anning a stable life.

Even if the Lu family was very rich, Gu Ziyan didn't like them at all.

As long as one had ambition, one would not envy others.

The smile on Lu Jingling's face gradually disappeared, but he did not feel angry at all. On the contrary, he could understand how she felt at this moment.

"Can't we just be friends?"

When Gu Ziyan heard this, she shook her head and said with determination, "No, in the future, peace will be affected by more people. Although I hope that he will become better and better, I don't want it to be because of you."

It had to be said that Gu Ziyan's words were a little hurtful, but this was exactly what she was thinking.

After Lu Jingling heard this, he was silent for a long time. He did not respond anymore, turned around and left silently.

Perhaps he had been pursuing too much recently, or else it would not have had the opposite effect.

Lu Jingling would not give up so easily!

But Gu Ziyan thought that was what he meant. She let out a sigh of relief and looked at the time. It was almost time to pick up her son from school. Before she left, she did not forget to look back at the hospital behind her.

She should have chosen another time to come.

When Gu Ziyan returned to the kindergarten, the time was just right. She saw Gu Anning and the other children walking out in an orderly manner.

The group of children seemed to be much friendlier to Gu Anning because of Lu Jingling.

"Anning, see you tomorrow."

"Okay."

Gu Ziyan took Gu Anning's small schoolbag and saw that he was saying goodbye to a little girl. She could not help but ask curiously, "Anning, is that girl in your class? Why haven't I seen you greet each other before?"

Gu Anning didn't think too much about it and replied directly, "Before, they all ostracized me, so Xiao Yu didn't dare to talk to me. In fact, we secretly contacted each other. She was my best playmate."

When Gu Ziyan heard this, she could not help but smile, and her eyebrows curved.

She seemed to be able to imagine that Xiao Yu would be her future daughter-in-law.

However, the child was still young, so she wouldn't ask too much about it. She just said oh softly and didn't talk about it again.

After returning home, Gu Anning stood beside Gu Ziyan and watched her cook.

"What's wrong? Is there anything you want to say to Mom?"

"Mom, is Uncle Lu really my father?"

Gu Anning's shocking words made Gu Ziyan's heart tremble.

She had forgotten about this.

He wiped his hand that was still wet and slowly squatted down. His eyes were level with Gu Anning's, and he said softly, "No, Uncle Lu was angry when he saw you being bullied. That's why he lied. Your Uncle Lu has a girlfriend. Don't talk nonsense in the future, understand?"

"So where is my father, Mom?"

"Didn't Mom say that Dad went to a very far place and it will take a long time for him to come back? Why? Can't Mom give you warmth?"

When Gu Ziyan saw that Gu Anning was starting to have a lot of questions, she knew that something was wrong and immediately made a sad expression.

When Gu Anning saw this, his face became anxious. He used his small hands to comfort his mother in a panic.

"No, Mom, I'm just a little curious. In fact, it doesn't matter if I have a father or not. Mom has worked so hard to raise me. I won't be heartless."

When Gu Ziyan heard his adult words, she couldn't help but feel touched. She then reached out and hugged him.

She patted the back of Gu Anning's hand and said, "Anning, don't worry. Mom will definitely give you double love."

"Yes!"

The mother and son were very warm, but at this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Gu Ziyan could not help but frown. She did not know who would suddenly come looking for her at this time.

"Why don't you go and watch TV first? Mom will go and see which guest has come."

"Alright."

Gu Ziyan looked at Gu Anning's jogging figure, then slowly stood up. When she opened the door and saw that it was Gu Xueqian, she only opened the door a small crack to let herself out.

She closed the door behind her, to prevent Gu Anning from getting hurt.

"What are you doing here?"

"Dad is in the hospital now, and you still have the mood to care about this little bastard. I think you really don't put Dad in your eyes." Gu Xueqian looked at her with disdain.

Gu Ziyan frowned. Seeing that she kept coming to cause trouble for her, her patience gradually ran out.

"If there's nothing else, then leave. Otherwise, I'll call the police and harass you."

"I harass you? Are you kidding me? What aspect of you can compare to me?"

Gu Ziyan did not plan to waste any more time with her. She turned around and wanted to ring the doorbell to let Gu Anning open the door for her.

Seeing this, Gu Xueqian did not bother to argue with her anymore and said, "I came to tell you that this is just the beginning. Don't think that you and Lu Jingchuan can escape my notice. I know everything about you!"

"I'm telling you again - only incapable women would come to another woman - if you really have the ability to do so, then go and take care of Lu Jingchuan - I've told you more than a hundred times that I don't have any feelings for him at all - you, on the other hand, have been fantasizing about what might happen between us - are you mentally ill? Shall I pay you to go to psychiatry? No."

Gu Ziyan had always been unable to endure any longer before she flew into a rage. This time, Gu Xueqian had really provoked her.

After Gu Xueqian heard this, her expression immediately became extremely ugly. Her breathing became rapid, but she was unable to refute it at all.

A few seconds later, Gu Xueqian coldly snorted, "Just you wait!"

With that, she turned around and left.

Gu Ziyan rolled her eyes. She really suspected that she had been a bit rebellious recently. There were always countless troubles lingering around her.

She temporarily put away her thoughts and let Gu Anning open the door for her. Then she said, "Are you hungry? Mom will go and cook for you now."

"Mom, who came just now?"

"A salesman. I chatted with him, but I didn't think it was necessary, so I didn't talk about it anymore."

Gu Ziyan made it sound like it was true, and the innocent Gu Anning believed her.

After a smooth night, the mother and son got up early the next morning as usual. When Gu Ziyan saw that no one else appeared in front of her, she could not help but think that her peaceful life was about to come to an end.

However, just as she sent her son to the entrance of the kindergarten, she saw someone who shouldn't have appeared - Lu Jingling.
