The wife he married through an arranged marriage is so sweet, Mr. Lu can't control himself.

Less than two minutes after hanging up with Qin Yang, Gu Zhi received a call from Jiang Nian.

"Honey, my mom said you haven't come to our house for dinner in a long time. She said she wants you to come over for lunch tomorrow. She'll make you some braised pig's trotters. Don't you love her braised pig's trotters?"

Gu Zhi thought she had nothing to do tomorrow and also had something to say to him.

He immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll definitely go tomorrow."

Jiang Nian: "Should I come pick you up?"

Gu Zhi: "My leg is all better now, why would I need you to pick me up? I'll just drive there myself."

Jiang Nian:

"Okay, remember to drive a discreet car."

"My mom has always pretended to be extremely poor, and she has always made me pretend. Today, I'm driving a car worth around 100,000 yuan."

"It's nice to have good neighbors sometimes, but if you're too nice, people might feel uncomfortable, and some might even have grudges against you."

Gu Zhi:

"You always say that. Don't worry, when have I ever driven a nice car? I'll look for one now and see if there's a car around 100,000 yuan."

Jiang Nian laughed heartily:

"Do you have a car worth around 100,000 yuan in your current villa?"

"Who are you trying to make laugh out loud?"

"Any car you take from your villa garage would cost more than 100,000 yuan, right?"

Gu Zhi also laughed heartily:

"I didn't ask the price, so I don't know."

"They were all bought by Lu Yanshen."

"Maybe."

"Don't worry, I can get someone to arrange one and park it inside."

Jiang Nian:

"I believe that. You're the wife of a top-tier wealthy family now. Getting a car worth 100,000 shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

After exchanging a few more playful words, Gu Zhi finally hung up the phone with Jiang Nian.

There really aren't any cars worth around 100,000 yuan in this villa's garage.

However, Gu Zhi did have her own place to live.

Gu Zhi then asked someone in the villa to take the key and go to her old place.

A car worth around 100,000 yuan drove into the garage of her former residence.

When Lu Yanbai saw the car, his eyes widened in disbelief.

I can't believe there are such cheap cars in the world.

When Lu Yanshen came home from get off work and saw this car, he couldn't even imagine what kind of life Gu Zhi had lived before.

But he didn't have time to feel sorry for himself.

Gu Zhi had already happily hugged his arm, tilting her fair face up to say to him:

"This is the cheapest car I ever bought!"

"Back then, Niannian and I each bought one!"

"Because Niannian's mother lives in an old neighborhood, which is where most people don't have much money."

"Niannian's mother wanted Niannian and me to pretend to be poor so that we could visit her like this."

"Say it will save you a lot of trouble~"

Lu Yanshen showed no outward signs of distress, but he was still heartbroken.

Even without this car incident.

He dared not think about what kind of life she had lived before.

Only then will they be prepared to die at any moment.

……

Gu Zhi drove into the Wangxing Bieyuan residential area at 10 a.m.

Jiang's mother lives in Room 402, Unit 1, Building 10.

Gu Zhi originally wanted to buy some things for Jiang's mother herself.

But Lu Yanshen knew that she was going out to see Jiang's mother today, so he had already asked Uncle Zhou to prepare some things and put them in her car yesterday.

She could simply drive over there.

Because there were quite a lot of things, Gu Zhi called Jiang Nian and asked her to come down and help carry some of them.

As Jiang Nian helped, she said:

"Why did you bring so much stuff? If you really feel bad coming empty-handed, just buy a couple of pounds of fruit."

"Besides, you've always been the one protecting me, giving me money and shares. My mom said it's only right that she treats you like royalty. I feel extremely embarrassed that you brought so many things with you."

The year Gu Zhi and Jiang Nian were classmates.

Jiang Nian was very fat at the time and was always bullied.

Gu Zhi happened to run into them once and beat up those who were bullying Jiang Nian, after which those people never dared to bully Jiang Nian again.

Jiang Nian was grateful and would occasionally slip Gu Zhi a carton of milk.

Even if Gu Zhi didn't want it, they would secretly stuff it into Gu Zhi's schoolbag.

Later, the two became deskmates.

Jiang Nian noticed that Gu Zhi's meals always had very few dishes, and that's when she realized that Gu Zhi was an orphan living in an orphanage.

There are too many orphans in the orphanage, so they can't get any good food.

Jiang Nian insisted on sharing the dishes she brought from home with Gu Zhi.

Later, when Jiang Nian's mother found out, she prepared two meals for Jiang Nian every day, which Jiang Nian would take to school, and she would force one of them on Gu Zhi.

It wasn't until later that Gu Zhi skipped a grade.

He was sent directly to the best junior high school, which was not only not on his way, but also very far away, so the program ended there.

Over the years, Gu Zhi has always felt this was a debt of gratitude and has kept it deeply in her heart.

However, Gu Zhi also knew that Jiang Nian didn't like hearing her say such things.

They didn't feel this was a favor at all.

She even felt that, in truth, Jiang Nian owed her more.

Gu Zhi didn't bring up those words.

She simply smiled and said, "My husband had everything prepared, so why didn't I bring it?"

Jiang Nian:

"My mom would be more at ease if she knew it was your husband who prepared it."

"Most husbands don't really care about these kinds of things, which shows how good President Lu is to you."

"But isn't it a bit inappropriate not to invite your husband along?"

"It's my fault too, I forgot yesterday and just called you directly."

"Later, my mom even scolded me, saying that I'm so old and I still don't know how to treat people to a meal."

"They said you're married now, things aren't the same as before. If they want to invite you to dinner, they can't just invite one person, they have to invite two people together."

"They want me to call you again and tell you."

"But I forgot about it as soon as I turned my head."

"Haha, my memory is getting worse and worse!"

"Sometimes I'd have my comb in my hair and still look for it everywhere, and I'd even accuse my mom of taking it."

Gu Zhi also laughed heartily.

Then he said:

"If you forget about it, just forget about it. It's okay, it's not a big deal."

"Besides, even if you call him, he can't come; he's at work today."

Jiang Nian laughed and said, "You should tell your husband later. Otherwise, I'll be too embarrassed to face him next time."

Gu Zhi: "OK".

Upon entering the Jiang family home, they met Jiang's mother.

When Jiang's mother saw that Gu Zhi had brought so many things, she immediately felt even more embarrassed.

She didn't feel that her family had done Gu Zhi any favors; she only felt that her family owed Gu Zhi something.

That's why her family is doing so well now.

However, upon hearing that it was Lu Yanshen who prepared it, Jiang's mother felt both relieved and even more guilty for not inviting Lu Yanshen to dinner.

Gu Zhi then said, "Aunt Jiang, he's really busy. Even if we call him, he can't come."

Jiang's mother still felt guilty and uneasy.

Gu Zhi said, "Aunt Jiang, your braised pig's trotters are so delicious. Please bring some back for me so he can try them too. I'll praise your braised pig's trotters to him as well."

Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother immediately felt less guilty and uneasy.

Overjoyed, she kept saying, "Okay, okay, I'll put some aside first and take it back to you once it cools down!"

It was said to be just a little bit, but it actually contained a whole basin.
