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

Lu Yanshen's eyes were already cold, and now they were even colder.

"I'll say it once: no one can force me, Lu Yanshen, to do anything. Although the Gu family proposed the marriage first, it was my choice."

Lu Yanshen said coldly.

Yes, who can force the head of the Lu family to do anything?

Everyone panicked and quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, yes."

Gu Zhi was in a good mood.

Yan Jue, standing in the crowd, was also extremely satisfied with his uncle.

Tang Zhengsong and Tang Nuannuan were thunderstruck.

Gu Zhi noticed that Director Yu kept checking his watch; time was indeed running out.

Gu Zhi reached out, took Lu Yanshen's fingertip, and gently shook it, almost like she was pleading:

"Honey, the banquet is about to start, let's not disturb them."

Director Yu was alarmed and hurriedly said, "No, no, I wouldn't dare."

How could I dare say I'm disturbing you?

But it must be said that Madam Lu truly expressed his true feelings.

The charity gala is about to begin.

Director Yu still gave Gu Zhi a grateful look.

Lu Yanshen felt his fingers being softly held, and Gu Zhi was acting coquettishly again.

What could he do? His icy gaze warmed considerably.

He first responded with an "Mm" to Gu Zhi before speaking to Qin Yang:

"You handle the rest."

What else?

Everyone knows without a doubt that it refers to the Tang family.

The head of the Lu family is known for his ruthlessness; he always manages to subdue people in one fell swoop, and no one dares to offend him again.

It's estimated that the Tang family will soon disappear from the elite circles.

Tang Zhengsong and Tang Nuannuan were both in a panic and immediately tried to get close to Lu Yanshen, begging him to spare the Tang family.

But they were stopped by Lu Yanshen's bodyguards.

Director Yu no longer stood on ceremony and quickly instructed the security guards to escort Tang Zhengsong and Tang Nuannuan out.

Even if Tang Zhengsong and Tang Nuannuan didn't want to go out, they couldn't.

"Yes!" Qin Yang immediately responded and hurried out to handle the situation.

Gu Zhi did not stop her.

Director Yu then led his people to the dining table to take their seats, as the banquet was about to begin.

Gu Zhi is here representing the Gu Group, so she will definitely be at the Gu Group's table.

Knowing that Gu Zhi was representing the Gu family and the Gu Group, Gu Zhi was seated at the middle table in the first row.

Every year, people from the Lu family and the Lu Group participate in events like this.

However, Lu Yanshen, as the head of the family and the person in charge of the group, never participates in such activities.

People from the clan participated.

The Lu family and Lu Group were naturally seated at one of the tables in the middle of the first row.

Today, Lu Yanshen has arrived, and Director Yu wants to invite him to sit at the Lu family's table.

Or you could sit at the table with the Lu Group.

But Lu Yanshen simply said, "I came with my wife."

Director Yu is a very intelligent person, and he understood immediately.

Please invite Gu Zhi and Lu Yanshen to sit at the Gu family's table.

Everyone heard and saw it, and they were all incredibly surprised.

That makes sense.

President Lu usually doesn't participate in these kinds of events.

If it weren't for my wife being here today, I probably wouldn't have come.

He must have come with his wife.

Everyone reached a consensus: never mess with Madam Lu again!

First, Madam Lu's words are truly sharp and her level of skill is truly high.

Secondly, offending Madam Lu is equivalent to offending President Lu himself.

It might be even more serious than provoking the person directly!

Gu Zhi didn't need to change chairs, since those chairs weren't particularly comfortable anyway. She could simply move one chair aside and raise the wheelchair a little.

Lu Yanshen helped her rise before sitting down in the chair next to her.

Just as Lu Yanshen sat down, Lu Yanchu, who usually represents the Lu family in various charitable activities, and Lu Yanning, who usually represents the Lu Group in various charitable activities, arrived.

Lu Yanchu is the grandson of Lu Yanshen's great-grandfather.

Lu Yanning is the grandson of Lu Yanshen's second grandfather.

When participating in such events, Lu Yanchu and Lu Yanning always arrive right on time.

After all, the Lu family and the Lu Group hold the highest status.

Their family's only requirement for them is to be punctual.

I arrived just in time, so I'm not late.

They never expected that Ninth Sister-in-law would come on behalf of the Gu Group today; otherwise, they would have arrived earlier.

What I never expected was that their Ninth Sister-in-law would be bullied at this event today.

They only found out about this when they received a phone call on their way here.

They immediately told the drivers to step on the gas so they could get there faster.

Otherwise, they could have arrived even more precisely on time.

Look, even their Ninth Brother is here.

Both of them wanted to turn around and run away.

But they also knew that turning around and running away would only lead to a worse outcome.

The two of them pushed each other until they arrived in front of their Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister-in-law.

They all lowered their heads, looking as if they had done something terribly wrong, and shouted:

"Ninth Brother, Ninth Sister-in-law."

Gu Zhi hadn't even met all the members of the Lu family yet, and there were some she'd never seen before. She didn't know who these two people were.

Lu Yanshen first introduced them to Gu Zhi before coldly reprimanding Lu Yanchu and Lu Yanning.

Gu Zhi hurriedly said, "Let them sit down quickly, they can stand."

Lu Yanshen thought about what happened today. In the end, it was because he was a bad husband. It actually had nothing to do with Lu Yanchu and Lu Yanning.

That's why we stopped talking about the two of them.

Lu Yanchu and Lu Yanning felt as if they had been granted a pardon, and quickly bowed to Gu Zhiyi: "Thank you, Ninth Sister-in-law!"

Then they hurried to their respective tables.

Half an hour later, Gu Zhi saw Qin Yang return.

Gu Zhi still didn't say anything.

After the meal, the core of the banquet began: a charity auction.

Gu Zhi thought that Yan Jue would wait until several more items were brought out before bidding.

To everyone's surprise, Yan Jue raised his paddle on behalf of SZ when only the second item was put up for auction.

Finally, it was auctioned off for five million.

That's equivalent to SZ donating five million.

Gu Zhi looked at Yan Jue, who was sitting at a table on the right side of the third row, a little distance away from her.

When Yan Jue saw her looking at him, he quickly shook his phone, gesturing for her to look at it.

Gu Zhi then checked her silent phone.

That's when she saw that Yan Jue had sent her several WeChat messages.

Aunt, I'll have to talk to Uncle another day.

Jiang Nian told me that she only discovered the room light was broken when she got home.

Neither she nor her mother could handle it.

I have to leave early to go to her house and get it done for her.

Otherwise, she won't be able to see anything from her room tonight.

You know she's a night owl; she's always up past midnight.

Using your phone without a light is bad for your eyes.

It turned out to be the case.

Gu Zhi replied immediately:

【it is good. 】

Drive carefully.

Yan Jue returned an "OK" gesture, then hurried to the back to complete the formalities for the donation of five million with Director Yu before leaving.

Lu Yanshen noticed Gu Zhi looking at Yan Jue.

He also glanced over with a cold look.

As their special assistant, Qin Yang immediately noticed what their CEO was looking at, and quickly lowered his voice, whispering in their CEO's ear:

"That's Yan Jue, the person in charge of SZ."

Lu Yanshen remained silent and calmly withdrew his gaze.

I feel a little uncomfortable for no reason.
