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

It was almost eleven o'clock when Gu Zhi finally went out.

It wasn't until almost 11:30 that Gu Zhi arrived at the Qi family's gate.

The timing was perfect – not too early, not too late. Gu Zhi felt it was just right.

Little did she know that after being pushed out of the car by Secretary Zhao, she would see Shen Lifeng, Shen Yuyao, and Sun Qin.

The three of them had just gotten out of the car.

They were clearly there to attend the birthday banquet, and there was someone following behind them carrying the gifts.

All three were very happy, a picture of a harmonious family of three.

The scene of Shen Lifeng angrily getting into the car and leaving first, with Shen Yuyao and Sun Qin anxiously chasing after him, was completely gone.

Gu Zhi was not surprised at all that the three of them had made up.

She was able to successfully sow discord because Shen Lifeng was already angry at the time.

Later, he was so angry that he slapped Shen Yuyao regardless of what she said.

Gu Zhi simply sat upright in her wheelchair.

Secretary Zhao produced the invitation:

"We are from the Gu family. Our grandfather couldn't come, so he specially sent our young lady to offer her congratulations."

Who doesn't know that the Lu family and the Gu family have formed a marriage alliance now?

The people greeting guests at the door had already been instructed to come in and speak with Old Master Gu as soon as possible if he arrived.

Besides, it's Gu Zhi, Madam Lu, who's here now.

A person was immediately ushered inside.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuyao was overjoyed and immediately whispered to Shen Lifeng and Sun Qin:

"She claims to be from the Gu family, yet she doesn't even mention Madam Lu's prestigious status. She must be disliked by Lu Yanshen to dare to use his name in public!"

"The reason Lu Yanshen gave her money to buy such an expensive wedding ring is definitely because they've just gotten married; he wouldn't buy her a bad wedding ring if they hadn't already!"

Shen Yuyao now hates Gu Zhi even more.

If Gu Zhi hadn't said those things last time, Shen Lifeng wouldn't have slapped her.

She and her mother even went back to her and explained for a long time.

In addition, she is not a stepdaughter at all; she is actually Shen Lifeng's biological daughter.

Shen Lifeng then dispelled his suspicions.

He also believed that she was afraid that Gu Zhi would pester him, her father, and annoy him, so she bribed the Gu family to keep an eye on Gu Zhi's news.

Shen Lifeng and Sun Qin also harbored resentment.

The three of them are now completely convinced that Gu Zhi is not stupid.

Gu Zhi had only been in the Gu family for a few days, and even with Old Master Gu's advice, she wouldn't be that eloquent.

This must be Gu Zhi's true nature.

Since they weren't stupid, and the last time it was practically a complete falling out, all three of them knew that no matter how they tried to get close to Gu Zhi, it would be useless.

No one would be foolish enough to divorce Lu Yanshen and give up the opportunity for a marriage alliance.

They will definitely cling to Lu Yanshen like a leech.

Therefore, even though they knew that Grandpa Gu had undergone surgery at Lu's Hospital and that Gu Zhi had been at the hospital these past few days, they hadn't gone to see Gu Zhi.

I never expected to run into Gu Zhi today.

At this moment, Shen Yuyao, who was completely convinced that Gu Zhi was someone Lu Yanshen did not like, was naturally extremely happy.

Shen Lifeng and Sun Qin were also very happy.

Sun Qin chuckled softly, "They haven't even dared to use the Lu family's name since they just got married. It's clear they'll divorce sooner or later. Let's just wait for her to be kicked out of the Lu family!"

The thought that Gu Zhi would eventually get divorced made Shen Lifeng feel extremely relieved.

That brat almost drove him crazy last time!

The three of them are not afraid of offending Gu Zhi at all. They think Gu Zhi is useless and that Lu Yanshen will divorce Gu Zhi sooner or later. Lu Yanshen and the Lu family will not stand up for Gu Zhi.

At that moment, the head of the Qi family had already led his men out to greet Gu Zhi.

A broad smile:

"Madam Lu, it's such an honor to have you here. Our sir was going to come out to greet you, but unfortunately his legs are not strong enough anymore. We're so sorry."

As he spoke, he also noticed Secretary Zhao behind Gu Zhi.

Secretary Zhao had been following Old Master Gu for many years and was Old Master Gu's most trusted confidant.

Whoever Secretary Zhao follows will naturally be the next person in charge of the Gu Group and the Gu family.

The head of the Qi family knew exactly what was going on.

Gu Zhi didn't dwell on the fact that people addressed her as Madam Lu.

She was originally Lu Yanshen's wife.

They didn't actually call it wrong.

Besides, in people's hearts, she is Lu Yanshen's wife, and that identity is above all else.

"Mr. Qi, you're too kind," Gu Zhi said with a smile. "How could I let the birthday celebrant come to pick me up? That would shorten my lifespan. Of course, I'll go in to see the birthday celebrant myself."

"Alright, please come in, please come in." The head of the Qi family personally led the way.

At this moment, the Qi family members only had eyes for Gu Zhi, this Mrs. Lu.

They didn't even notice Shen Lifeng and his two companions standing not far away.

The three of them were naturally unhappy.

Shen Yuyao couldn't hold back any longer and immediately raised her voice in a sarcastic tone:

"Little Zhizhi, Daddy's here. Why don't you say hello to him?"

That's when everyone noticed them and looked over at them.

Shen Lifeng immediately straightened his back, acting as if he were Gu Zhi's father and that Gu Zhi should respect him.

Gu Zhi didn't even glance at Shen Lifeng and the others, and said lightly:

"Hey, am I hearing things? I think I just heard a dog bark?"

Shen Yuyao's face flushed instantly.

I never expected Gu Zhi to be so rude in front of so many people.

Shen Lifeng's back almost collapsed in a second.

Sun Qin's expression was also not good.

Secretary Zhao was quite surprised; he hadn't expected their young lady to be so sharp-tongued.

But having followed Old Master Gu for many years, he quickly recovered and returned to his usual calm and responsible self.

The rest of the Qi family almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The head of the Qi family immediately understood that in Gu Zhi's eyes, Shen Lifeng was not her father at all.

That's right, it was Shen Lifeng who denied it first.

Anyone who has attended the Gu family reunion banquet knows this.

Who would be stupid enough to acknowledge this father again?

The head of the Qi family hurriedly smiled and said:

"Maybe I'm getting old and hard of hearing, so I didn't hear it."

Although the Shen family has been declining in recent years, it has fallen from the top tier of wealthy families to the bottom tier.

But after all, the Shen family and the Qi family still have some cooperation, and they are guests today.

He was always very tactful and diplomatic, so of course he wouldn't call Shen Yuyao a dog.

But you absolutely cannot offend Gu Zhi.

Gu Zhi has Lu Yanshen behind her.

Of course, he wouldn't say that there were no dogs at all.

Gu Zhi knew that today was the old man's birthday banquet and she couldn't turn it into her battlefield.

Anyway, I've already scolded Shen Yuyao.

Gu Zhi followed up on what the Qi family head had said, "Since the Qi family head didn't hear us, let's forget about it and go inside."

The head of the Qi family knew that Gu Zhi was giving face to his family.

I am very grateful.

They even led the way with great enthusiasm and courtesy:

"Madam Lu, please, please."

But Shen Yuyao couldn't understand any of this.

Seeing that Gu Zhi was completely unharmed, while Gu Zhi was being verbally abused, only Gu Zhi lost face.

Then he hurriedly shouted again:

"Mr. Qi, she already said she came representing the Gu family, why are you still calling her Mrs. Lu!"

The implication is that the Qi family doesn't like Gu Zhi at all, and they don't even dare to use the Lu family's name, so there's no need for them to be so polite to Gu Zhi.
