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

Lu Yanbai was already waiting at the door.

Seeing her being helped out of the car, he was quite surprised: "Sister-in-law, your leg is all healed now?"

Gu Zhi smiled and said, "The injury wasn't particularly serious to begin with, and now I can start light-weight rehabilitation."

"That's great! Get well soon, so some grandsons won't call you crippled!" Lu Yanbai hurriedly helped the wheelchair.

Only after Gu Zhi was seated in her wheelchair did she look up and ask, "What grandson?"

She was so focused on enduring the pain that she sat down in the wheelchair and didn't hear what he said.

"Those people at the Qi family's house who said you were in a wheelchair! I don't even need to think to know they meant you were disabled!"

"That day, people from my school told me I was furious and almost went to confront you to back you up, but my older brother said he would, so I didn't go!"

Gu Zhi was stunned for a moment.

That day, wasn't Lu Yanshen picking her up from the Qi family's house because he happened to be inspecting the nearby science park and had some free time?

How did it become someone who specifically went to support her?

Before she could even ask, Lu Yanbai was already babbling on and on:

"What kind of person are you, to assume your brother will divorce you sooner or later just because you grew up in the countryside and are in a wheelchair!"

"They're definitely all bastards!"

"Would they dare guess in front of my older brother?!"

"Their ancestors were all farmers!"

"They're only bullying you because you just married into our family!"

"You know, our cats and dogs have never suffered any hardship before!"

"That person who went to the same school as me too!"

"They're supposed to be part of the elite social circle, and they were even at the birthday banquet, yet they didn't recognize those people making such assumptions. Otherwise, I would have definitely told my brother and had him deal with those people!"

"Sister-in-law, you must have suffered quite a bit at that birthday banquet the other day, right?"

Gu Zhi understood completely.

It must have been that one of the guests at the time was from the same school as Lu Yanbai.

She told Lu Yanbai about the speculation that some people believed Lu Yanshen would divorce her sooner or later.

He felt that she must have been wronged, which was why Lu Yanshen made a special trip to see her.

In other words, Lu Yanshen did not happen to be inspecting the nearby science park that day, nor did he have a free hour in between.

I went there specifically to support her.

He showed everyone through his actions that they wouldn't make wild guesses and that he and she wouldn't get a divorce.

Although she still felt that it would have been fine if he hadn't done it that day, he did it anyway.

I went to pick her up on a special occasion.

Gu Zhi was definitely somewhat moved.

As for the person who told Lu Yanbai that they didn't know the people making those guesses, she thought that person probably said that because they were afraid of getting into trouble.

We don't know each other at all.

"No, I wasn't wronged that day," Gu Zhi said.

Lu Yanbai, who never thought much, believed her words and immediately said happily:

"That's good! I bet those bastards were just gossiping behind your back; they didn't guess it to your face!"

Before Gu Zhi could speak, Lu Yanbai continued:

"Anyway, sister-in-law, don't worry. As long as you're of good character, your brother won't divorce you!"

"Look at me, so useless, yet my older brother never abandoned me!"

Even if you're a little less capable than me, really, my older brother would never abandon you!

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhi immediately raised an eyebrow:

"You insisted I come to the parent-teacher conference today, you didn't just do that to put my mind at ease, did you?"

"No way! I was just saying it casually!" Lu Yanbai retorted stubbornly, turning his head to the other side, refusing to admit it.

But this makes it even more obvious.

Gu Zhi found it funny.

The kid may be stubborn and arrogant, but he's genuinely kind.

Lu Yanbai was afraid that she would continue this topic, making him feel embarrassed and unsure of what to say.

He quickly changed the subject:

"Our homeroom teacher is really annoying. Anyway, whatever he says at the parent-teacher conference later, just listen to it and ignore the rest."

"You used to be a terrible student, so you must understand, right?"

As he spoke, he pushed her toward the school.

One hand is pushing the wheelchair.

He casually put his other hand in his pocket.

Seeing how eager he was to change the subject, as if he were trying to cover something up, Gu Zhi went along with it.

He laughed and said, "If you ever find out that I'm not a bad student at all, I'll think your world will collapse."

Lu Yanbai laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, are you really that stubborn?"

Gu Zhi also laughed out loud.

This kid, really.

Is this person desperate for someone to be at the bottom?

They still didn't believe it.

Gu Zhi wasn't one to offer many explanations, but if someone became suspicious and asked her, she might offer some further explanation.

But given the current situation, she's too lazy to say anything more about it.

He just smiled and said something else:

"Your older brother told me that he attended all your parent-teacher conferences before you turned ten. After you turned ten, he stopped mentioning them to the family. Why is that?"

"Because I became sensible when I was ten!" Lu Yanbai replied immediately.

"What does this have to do with whether you understand things or not?" Gu Zhi didn't think it had anything to do with it.

"Of course it's relevant!"

Lu Yanbai answered immediately.

"Before I turned ten, I saw other children having their parents attend parent-teacher meetings, and of course I wanted my family to attend too!"

"So I told my older brother about the parent-teacher conference."

"But I was a poor student, so the school couldn't arrange for my older brother to sit in the first row. My older brother could only sit in the last row next to my desk."

"My older brother is such a precious person! Every time he attends an event, he sits in the very center of the first row. How could he be sitting in the last row!"

"This is so unfair to my older brother!"

"I won't let my older brother suffer like that!"

"So even when there were parent-teacher conferences later on, I didn't tell my older brother."

Gu Zhi kept nodding her head.

The kid really likes his older brother.

But the next second, Gu Zhile was in serious trouble:

"So you're letting me participate today? You should still sit in the last row, right?"

Putting aside whether his grades are good or not, his tall stature doesn't seem like he should be able to sit in the front row.

Lu Yanbai chuckled:

"Can you be the same as me? Aren't you a bad student like me?"

Although Gu Zhi was amused, she was also annoyed by the child:

"Are all the other members of the Lu family academic geniuses? Can't you call someone else?"

"That won't do!" Lu Yanbai said immediately.

The tone was extremely matter-of-fact.

"I was raised by my eldest brother, so only he has the right to attend my parent-teacher conferences! Of course, now that you and my eldest brother are husband and wife, you have that right too!"

Gu Zhi was taken aback. "So, your second brother and the others aren't qualified, and even Grandpa isn't qualified?"

"Of course!" The tone remained matter-of-fact.

Lu Yanbai couldn't help but add, "My second and third brothers think so too! My eldest brother always attended their parent-teacher conferences in the past!"

The "second brother" he mentioned was actually his cousin, Lu Yanlin.

The "third brother" he mentioned was actually his second brother, Lu Yanchi.

"Could it be that your second and third brothers were also raised by your eldest brother?" Gu Zhi asked.

Lu Yanbai:

"They weren't exactly raised by him, since they're all only a few years younger than him, but he raised them."
