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

"Well, since final exams are coming up soon, I'm not in a hurry to go home right after school. I'll stay at school for two evening self-study sessions before going home."

"Go home. You can play games just as well at home."

"Pfft." Gu Zhi burst out laughing instantly.

"Big brother, I wasn't playing games—" Lu Yanbai hurriedly tried to explain.

"Don't make me say it a second time."

"...Okay, I'll play when I get home. No, no, no, I'll study when I get home!"

Gu Zhi was laughing so hard she almost choked.

Gu Zhi then picked up the phone and held it up to herself.

"Sister-in-law, you and my brother are having dinner, why don't you say so?" Lu Yanbai asked with a resentful look.

Now all I can do is go home and play video games.

We had already agreed to play together outside.

"Whether I say anything or not won't affect your older brother knowing you went to the rooftop. As soon as the video call connected, your words started coming in non-stop. You'd better go home, kid."

Gu Zhi laughed even harder.

"You and my older brother are so annoying!" Lu Yanbai said angrily.

Of course, that's just a statement.

It's not that I really hate it.

"I'm hanging up, I'm going home!" After saying that, Lu Yanbai really hung up.

Gu Zhi put her phone aside, still laughing: "You really know him too well."

After dinner, Lu Yanshen went to his study, and Gu Zhicai told Jiang Nian about Lu Yanshen's collapse during the day while they were on the sofa in the living room.

Hearing that Lu Yanbai had gone to the rooftop, Jiang Nian was overjoyed.

Just after saying this to Jiang Nian, Gu Zhi's phone rang again.

It was Grandpa Lu who called Gu Zhi.

Gu Zhi quickly answered the call.

"Zhizhi, I've invited some old friends over tomorrow. Could you come back for a visit? I'd like to introduce you to them," Grandpa Lu asked with great kindness.

Gu Zhi knew immediately that Grandpa Lu also wanted to support her.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have introduced her to his old friends at this time.

The old man meant well.

"Sure," Gu Zhi replied sweetly immediately.

"Okay, okay, then come back around 10 a.m. tomorrow. They'll probably come over to our house around that time to sit and have lunch."

"Uh-huh."

After hanging up with Grandpa Lu, Gu Zhi stayed in the living room for a while before taking the elevator upstairs to her room.

study.

Lu Yanshen was working, but when he saw that it was already 8 p.m., even though he still had some documents to finish, he didn't want to continue.

I want to go back to my room.

His signing motion paused there.

He used to try to finish all his work on the same day.

Whether it's urgent or not urgent at all.

Even when he came back to have dinner with Gu Zhi, he would try to finish his work in the study before going back to his room to sleep.

But yesterday, because Gu Zhi insisted on holding him while he slept on the way back, he took a shower and went straight to bed after they got back.

Some tasks were not completed.

It was left to be dealt with until today.

I thought he would have had a terrible time dealing with those tasks today.

After all, this was the first time this had happened.

But when I dealt with it during the day, I didn't feel anything bad.

That's all there is to it.

Besides, there's always more work to be done in his position.

Even if you finish dealing with it today, there will still be more to deal with tomorrow.

Lu Yanshen wanted to go back to his room even more.

I figured I'd already finished all the work that needed to be done today, so I could deal with the rest tomorrow.

Lu Yanshen then went back to his room.

When I returned to the room, I saw Gu Zhi by the bed, facing the TV, doing her rehabilitation while watching TV.

Now, her rehabilitation for her lower legs involves sitting in a wheelchair, holding onto the edge of the bed, and slowly standing up.

After standing up straight, she slowly tiptoed.

This helps restore the support of the calf muscles.

She stood on tiptoe for a minute, then sat down to rest for a while.

Then he stood up again and stood on tiptoe.

so cycle.

Seeing Gu Zhi's slightly furrowed brows, Lu Yanshen suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and was very uncomfortable.

I'm thinking of asking her if she's in pain.

But then I realized that this was just stating the obvious.

Her brows were slightly furrowed; how could she not be in pain?

Lu Yanshen didn't ask any more questions.

Gu Zhi felt some pain, but not that much; it was just a little bit.

After all, the rehabilitation has already reached the middle stage.

It's almost time to get to the later stages.

Seeing that Lu Yanshen had returned to his room, she subconsciously checked the time.

Seeing that it was only 8 p.m., she was quite surprised: "You've finished all your work?"

Lu Yanshen replied truthfully, "No. What needed to be dealt with today has been dealt with. The rest can be dealt with tomorrow."

Gu Zhi didn't pay much attention to his answer.

After all, it's his job, and he can handle it whenever he wants.

She was actually just surprised that he came back to his room so early today.

Earlier than last time.

Gu Zhi simply nodded.

It means I understand.

Then she told him that Grandpa Lu had called her and asked her to come back to the old house the next day.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanshen knew that it meant his grandfather was backing Gu Zhi up.

But he still said, "If you find it annoying, come back quickly."

"Haha, you used 'hurry up' so cleverly!" Gu Zhi laughed.

Lu Yanshen ignored her teasing, glanced coldly at her legs again, and then went into the bathroom to take a shower.

……

The next day, Gu Zhi went to the Lu family's old house, wondering when she would be able to return.

So, before going to the Lu family's old house, I decided to go to the hospital to see my grandfather.

When I arrived at the ward, it was not even eight o'clock in the morning.

When Grandpa Gu heard that she was going back to the Lu family's old house to see Grandpa Lu's old friends, he knew that it meant Grandpa Lu wanted to support her, so he immediately urged her to go to the old house early.

Gu Zhi thought so too.

It wouldn't do for her, the younger generation, to arrive only after all the elders have arrived.

So Gu Zhi arrived at the old house before nine o'clock in the morning.

Grandpa Lu was an elderly man who always got up early. He was overjoyed to see Gu Zhi arrive so early.

As expected, Grandpa Lu's old friends started arriving around 10 a.m.

Although these elderly people have all retired from their positions as heads of their respective families, each of them is still a big shot among big shots.

Everyone knows what Old Master Lu means.

Grandpa Lu didn't hide anything.

We're all good friends anyway, so we usually talk very frankly.

Let me just say it:

"Old folks, this is my eldest granddaughter-in-law. You'll all need to take good care of her from now on, and also give her some advice to your own families."

"Otherwise, if something like what happened to the Tang family happens again, don't blame this old man for turning against you too."

The old people all laughed heartily:

"Don't worry, don't worry, even if we're not afraid of you old codger, we are afraid of Yan Shen. Young people are just hot-tempered, one of them could take us all down."

Everyone laughed at what he said.

Gu Zhi knows how to play Chinese chess, Go, and tea.

They can even chat with the elderly about painting, calligraphy, Tai Chi, history, and so on.

Anyway, we got along extremely well.

In addition, Gu Zhi is sunny and lively.

And the elderly people are such intelligent people, it's clear that Gu Zhi truly respects them.

Some people truly treat them as elders.

The elderly people adored Gu Zhi.
