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

They said they were inviting them, but it was really just a way of kicking them out.

"Teacher Yan! Teacher Yan! How could you?!" Shen Yuyao couldn't believe it.

What's wrong with her?

Was there something wrong with what she just said?

Why did they kick her out?

And they're saying she's not allowed to come in anymore?!

But in response, two security guards rushed over and dragged her out, regardless of whether she wanted to or not.

Everyone was looking at her, and some even said she was the first one to be kicked out by Teacher Yan.

Shen Yuyao was extremely embarrassed.

How could I possibly hold my head up?

Those socialites and heiresses, and even some people who knew that Gu Zhi was Madam Lu, all assumed that Yan Ying acted this way because Gu Zhi was Madam Lu.

That's why, regardless of what Shen Yuyao said or who was right or wrong, he simply kicked Shen Yuyao out.

Yan Ying has never liked to explain anything, nor does she care what the people present think.

Seeing that Shen Yuyao had been kicked out, he then took Gu Zhi and Jiang Nian to her office.

She also instructed her assistant to take down the new paintings and deliver them to her office.

Let Gu Zhi choose in her office.

When everyone saw the painting being taken down, they assumed that Gu Zhi, Madam Lu, had come to buy it.

I want to buy one of these paintings.

Nobody thought much of it.

There's not much to say about someone like Shen Yuyao. Gu Zhi didn't even talk to Yan Ying about Shen Yuyao; she just looked at the paintings.

The atmosphere is generally sunny, but in reality, it is extremely oppressive.

It is evident that each of these works was created under immense pressure.

Gu Zhi still chose the first one: "This one will do."

This painting conveys the greatest pressure, almost as if it were about to crush the person who painted it.

Yan Ying was stunned for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhiyi chose the painting that caused her the most pain.

Yan Ying invited Gu Zhi and Jiang Nian to stay for lunch.

Jiang Nian immediately smiled and said, "Teacher Yan, I'm sure I'll be fine."

Gu Zhi smiled and said, "I'm actually fine with it, but I have to tell my grandfather first, so he doesn't have to wait for me for lunch."

After Gu Zhi finished her phone call with Grandpa Gu, Yan Ying asked, "How is Grandpa Gu's recovery going?"

Gu Zhi smiled and said, "It's fine. But I have to thank you all for always saying that I'm over forty. My grandfather still doesn't believe that I'm actually your grandfather's student, Su Zhi."

Yan Ying finally smiled a little: "Isn't it you who are always fighting? We, the younger generation, have no choice but to do it."

"I don't fight anymore."

"Your leg is restricted. Once your leg is healed, let's see if you can control it anymore."

"You guys know me too well," Gu Zhi sighed dramatically.

Jiang Nian laughed and said, "She can't fight now, do you know how uncomfortable I am? I used to be the one hiding behind her."

Yan Ying's smile widened.

Then they talked about what Yan Ying had just gone out to do.

Yan Ying said:

"It's nothing much. The art museum is holding its annual charity gala, and I donated a painting to be auctioned off. It's a way of contributing to charity."

"By the way, I heard from the art museum that the Gu family has also been invited to tomorrow's charity gala. They say the Gu Group is invited every year and attends every year, donating a lot of money."

"Anyway, everyone is praising Mr. Gu and the Gu Group for their compassion and social responsibility."

"Now that Mr. Gu is in the hospital, I guess you will be attending on his behalf again."

Gu Zhi smiled and said, "My grandfather hasn't told me yet, but I also think I should go and participate on his behalf."

Jiang Nian: "SZ also received an invitation, and of course, Yan Jue, the person in charge, went again. Yan Jue asked me yesterday if I wanted to go with him tomorrow night, but unfortunately I promised to go home and have dinner with my mother tomorrow night, so I can't go with her."

Yan Ying: "I won't be going tomorrow night, which is why I sent the painting over today."

After having lunch at Yan Ying's place, Gu Zhi and Jiang Nian prepared to leave.

After Gu Zhi got into the passenger seat, she said to Yan Ying, who was standing outside the car seeing her off:

Don't put too much pressure on yourself; you're already good enough.

As the car drove away, Yan Ying's eyes reddened.

She was indeed under a lot of pressure and in poor condition during this period.

Many media outlets either report that her current work is stagnant or that she has lost her creative spark.

……

After being kicked out of the gallery, Shen Yuyao thought about it carefully and realized that it was because Gu Zhi was Lu Yanshen's wife that Yan Ying kicked her out immediately, regardless of what she said or whether it was her fault.

Shen Yuyao was so angry that she immediately went home and gave Shen Lifeng and Sun Qin a good talking-to, adding fuel to the fire.

"If Gu Zhi hadn't gone to the gallery today, I definitely wouldn't have been kicked out!"

"What teacher! It's that old woman, all high and mighty. She definitely knows about President Lu picking up Gu Zhi from the Qi family that day!"

"Even if I do nothing and say nothing, I'll definitely be kicked out in the end today!"

"That old woman is definitely trying to curry favor with Gu Zhi, sucking up to her, thinking that this is how she gains entry into the Lu family!"

"No wonder he's run out of ideas; it turns out he hasn't been painting properly all these years, he's been spending all his time thinking about these things!"

Shen Lifeng was furious:

"That brat, she keeps ruining my plans!"

Last time at the Qi family, it was because of that brat Gu Zhi that he was not only blacklisted by the Qi family, but also developed a grudge against the Zou family.

Here we go again!

"Mr. Yan's sister has already kicked you out and forbids you from entering her gallery again. So, trying to get through to his sister and ask her to talk to him and get him to sell us the medical equipment is definitely not going to work."

"Luckily, we've already bought tickets for tomorrow night's charity gala. I heard that SZ has received another invitation, and President Yan will be attending tomorrow night. We'll have to ask them for help then."

"The Gu Group must have received an invitation as well. With the Gu Group's stock price so high right now, it must be that brat who went in place of Old Master Gu."

"Alright, stop crying. I'll give her a good scolding later!"

"This is outrageous! They're ruining their own father's business like this!"

"Even if I didn't acknowledge her from the beginning, she's still my daughter. Does she have to be so unreasonable?!"

Upon hearing Shen Lifeng say that he would help her scold Gu Zhi, Shen Yuyao quickly wiped away her tears and stopped crying.

Q: "Didn't our family receive an invitation this year? How come we had to buy our own tickets?"

This made Shen Lifeng even angrier:

"It's because our other businesses have all lost money over the years, and we only made some money at the hospital. But the hospital has a bad reputation, so they didn't invite us this year! The Zou family is in a similar situation to us, and they weren't invited either!"

Sun Qin said, "It's the National Art Museum of China, there's nothing we can do about it."

Shen Yuyao hurriedly asked, "Did you buy me a ticket? What kind of ticket? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to buy a regular ticket?"

Shen Lifeng also felt ashamed to buy a regular ticket.

After all, he still considered his family to be a wealthy one.
