Gu Zhi, in any case, did not understand why her bestie was so scared.
But she still replied, also typing:
【You even said he was too good earlier.】
Jiang Nian wailed again:
【I meant he was too good to you!】
【Not to me!】
【Ahhhhh, I understand even more clearly now that a wife is a wife; it’s just different compared to others!】
【You are his wife, after all!】
【Even if it’s an arranged marriage and there are no feelings, you are still his wife!】
Gu Zhi agreed with this.
She just sent an agreeing, nodding sticker.
【That’s why you think he’s easy to get along with!】
【Anyway, now that I’ve seen him in person, I don’t think so anymore!】
【He really scared me!】
【Besides.】
【You were always braver than me!】
【You definitely aren’t afraid of him!】
Jiang Nian sent several more messages in a row.
Gu Zhi’s eyes curved into a smile, and she immediately sent a head-patting sticker to show comfort.
Jiang Nian did indeed have to sign a contract, so after chatting briefly for a couple more sentences, the two stopped talking.
Gu Zhi sat up straight and well-behaved again.
Lu Yanshen had caught a glimpse of Gu Zhi when she turned her head and looked up at him just now.
However, he didn't care why Gu Zhi was doing that and acted as if he hadn't seen it.
Now that Gu Zhi had put away her mobile phone, she was like a well-behaved baby again.
Lu Yanshen was expressionless, but he thought to himself:
It would be great if she were always this well-behaved.
They arrived at Old Master Gu’s hospital room.
When Old Master Gu saw them arriving together, although he still had an oxygen tube inserted, the elder’s eyes were already curved into a smile.
"Nian Nian just came to see me, she only just left. That child is so thoughtful; she has already come to the hospital to see me twice."
The lying-down Old Master Gu said.
Gu Zhi smiled and said, "We bumped into each other at the entrance just now and chatted for a bit. Grandfather, how are you feeling today?"
"Much better, it’s just that I can only eat liquid food, it’s not tasty at all," Old Master Gu complained.
"When you get a little better, you won't have to eat like this anymore. When that time comes, I will have the chef make you lots of delicious food. You can eat whatever you want, okay?" Gu Zhi coaxed.
Only then did Old Master Gu’s eyes curve into a smile again.
Knowing that Lu Yanshen only came to see him at this time today because he was on holiday, Old Master Gu nodded continuously:
"It is time to rest; how can you be busy with work every single day? Your body won't be able to take it."
As for how his grandson-in-law treated him, it actually didn't matter much to him.
As long as he was good to his granddaughter, that was enough.
But his grandson-in-law was so busy and held such a status.
Plus, it was considered an arranged marriage.
Yet, he was still able to come to the hospital to see this old man once every day during his critical period.
In any case, he felt it was already very good.
In the middle of the visit, Lu Yanshen went out to take a phone call.
Taking advantage of the time Lu Yanshen was out, Gu Zhi told her grandfather about going to the Old Residence to eat with Lu Yanshen tomorrow.
"I'm not sure when it will end, but anyway, Grandfather, I should be coming to see you later tomorrow."
Although Old Master Gu had previously told Gu Zhi not to ask why Lu Yanshen hadn't taken her to meet his elders.
He was afraid that the couple would have some conflict because of this.
But now that Lu Yanshen was finally going to take her to meet them, Old Master Gu was still very happy.
He kept saying, "As long as you and Yan Shen are doing well, it's fine if you don't come to see me."
"No, no matter how late it is tomorrow, I will come to see you," Gu Zhi insisted.
"Good, good, good," Old Master Gu said, beaming from ear to ear.
……
The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.
Because she was going back to the Old Residence with Lu Yanshen today, Gu Zhi also gave Lu Yanshen face and dressed up specifically.
She wore a designer embroidered Tang suit.
She was dressed extremely well-behaved and dignified.
Seeing this, Lu Yanshen was silent once again.
He didn't know how many sides his wife actually had.
As soon as Gu Zhi came down from upstairs, she saw that Lu Yanshen’s special assistant, Qin Yang, was also there.
She was a little surprised and didn't know the significance of Qin Yang being there today.
Weren't he and she going to the Old Residence for a meal?
This was considered a family dinner, right?
However, Gu Zhi didn't ask anything.
Qin Yang, on the other hand, bowed hurriedly as soon as he saw her, greeting her with extreme respect: "Hello, Madam."
"Hello," Gu Zhi also greeted him with a smile.
This was the first time Qin Yang had seen their President's Wife.
He was extremely surprised that the wife who grew up in the countryside was actually this beautiful.
When he saw their President pushing their President's Wife out the door in an extremely thoughtful manner.
And even carrying their President's Wife into the car.
Qin Yang was also shocked.
But he was, after all, the special assistant to the President of Lu Corporation, so he reacted quickly and immediately composed himself.
Although there were stormy waves in his heart.
On the surface, he was even more respectful toward Gu Zhi, the President's Wife.
The Lu Family Old Residence had a history of several hundred years and was extremely antique.
But when the car entered the gate of the Lu Family Old Residence, Gu Zhi was a bit stunned.
She thought she had entered a children's playground.
Everywhere there were colorful amusement facilities for children, which looked extremely abrupt among these ancient buildings.
And as soon as she entered the Old Residence, she also heard the voices of many children.
Before long, sitting in the car, she really saw many children.
Jumping, bouncing, and making noise, the sound was deafening.
At least twenty or thirty of them.
If it weren't for the seven old masters wearing Tang suits and looking quite dignified mixed in among the children, she would have thought she had entered some kindergarten.
Before the car had even stopped, those children noticed it.
They all came rushing over, shouting.
And they were shouting extremely joyfully:
"Ninth Uncle!"
"Ninth Brother!"
Gu Zhi knew that Lu Yanshen was the ninth in his generation of the Lu family's main branch.
So, were these children Lu Yanshen’s cousins, as well as his nieces and nephews?
There were so many.
That made sense; with such a large family and business, how could the number of people in the family be small?
Gu Zhi’s eyes curved into a smile.
"Ninth Sister-in-law!"
"Ninth Aunt!"
Seeing that Lu Yanshen had really brought Gu Zhi back in the car, the children who surrounded the car immediately called out to Gu Zhi happily.
Gu Zhi liked children very much.
Since the children were all calling her, Gu Zhi naturally waved at the children continuously from inside the car with great enthusiasm:
"Hello, everyone."
"Ahhhhh!" The children were even happier.
They jumped, bounced, and shouted even more.
Lu Yanshen had already been pinching his eyebrows and feeling a headache upon hearing the voices of these little brats.
Now, being subjected to this volume, he had an even worse headache.
His head felt like it was about to explode.
Gu Zhi had finished greeting the children while leaning against the car window.
She found it strange that the bodyguard still had no intention of coming to open the car door.
Did they mean for them to open the door themselves?
But she had ridden in this car so many times, and she and Lu Yanshen had never opened it themselves.
That probably wasn't what they meant.
Only then did Gu Zhi stop leaning against the car window.
She turned her head to look at Lu Yanshen.
She wanted to ask Lu Yanshen what the bodyguard meant by this.
To her surprise, she saw Lu Yanshen pinching his eyebrows, his expression very poor.
Gu Zhi’s beautiful eyes blinked, and she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, my head just hurts a lot."
"You call having a bad headache 'nothing'?"
"It's the noise. It will be fine once it's quiet."
Gu Zhi understood.
So it was the noise from the children outside the car.
