Lu Yanchi has also returned.
It was Lu Yanchi who personally drove to the airport to pick up Lu Yanlin.
"Hello, Sister-in-law." Both Lu Yanlin and Lu Yanchi greeted Gu Zhi.
Lu Yanlin’s greeting was very polite.
Lu Yanchi, on the other hand, was dressed quite unconventionally. Not only was his hair dyed silver-white, but his greeting was also quite eccentric and cavalier.
However, Gu Zhi felt that Lu Yanchi looked quite familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
"You..." Gu Zhi stared at Lu Yanchi with her almond-shaped eyes, wondering where she had seen him.
Seeing this, Lu Yanchi immediately revealed the answer to Gu Zhi:
"Sister-in-law, I am Chi Yan, the big star Chi Yan! Chi Yan is my stage name! It is also my real name spelled backward!"
"Oh, so it’s you." Gu Zhi finally remembered; her bestie Jiang Nian was a fan, and the new idol she was obsessed with was him.
Lu Yanchi had also rushed back specifically; he hadn't even finished a brand event before hurrying back.
Gu Zhi could feel that both Lu Yanlin and Lu Yanchi were quite respectful toward her.
She glanced at Lu Yanshen again.
She knew that both of them were very respectful toward their eldest brother, Lu Yanshen, and that was why they were also so respectful toward her.
After having lunch together, Lu Yanlin and Lu Yanchi left.
One rushed back abroad to manage all of the Lu Corporation's businesses overseas.
The other rushed off to be a big star and attend events.
Since there were a few matters in the family that needed the Family Head, Lu Yanshen, to make a final decision, and since Lu Yanshen was already back, he went to the study to take care of those things.
Gu Zhi remained in the living room, chatting with Grandpa Lu.
Suddenly, Grandpa Lu thought of something and said hurriedly:
"Zhizhi, I am going to get something. I don't want to be unable to find it when you leave later. I will be back in a moment."
"Alright, Grandfather." Gu Zhi smiled and watched Grandpa Lu leave.
Just as she was about to take out her mobile phone to play with it,
she suddenly saw a tall, thin boy in a school uniform, clinging to a pillar and peering around, sneaking in.
As soon as Gu Zhi saw him in his school uniform, she knew it was Lu Yanbai.
Seeing him being so sneaky, she didn't even have to think to know that he had skipped class to come back.
Seeing that his grandfather was no longer in the living room and only Gu Zhi was there, Lu Yanbai rushed in front of her.
With his hands in his pockets, he looked both cocky and excited:
"You must be the young lady from the countryside that the Gu family brought back, right?"
"I heard you didn't even graduate from high school?"
"Haha, the ancestors are truly blessing me; I am finally not the biggest loser in the family!"
Lu Yanbai wanted to laugh out loud three times.
He was so happy!
Seeing him so cocky and excited, Gu Zhi knew he wasn't there to pick a fight with her.
Who knew he would end up being even more proud of himself?
Had things spread that far outside?
Not only was she from the countryside, but she hadn't even graduated from high school?
Seeing the kid so proud, Gu Zhi couldn't help but tease him: "What, are you able to graduate from high school?"
Seeing him talk about being the biggest loser in the family, it was clear his grades weren't great.
Lu Yanbai’s face immediately fell.
The next second, he stiffened his neck and said:
"I will definitely graduate from high school! As long as I study hard, even if my grades are bad, I can still graduate!"
Then, he looked happy and cocky again:
"Anyway, from now on, you are the biggest loser in the family!"
Just then, Lu Yanshen finished his work and returned to the living room.
Hearing this, he immediately darkened his face: "Lu Yanbai."
Lu Yanbai immediately shrank his neck, not daring to look back at all.
"Kneel down," Lu Yanshen said coldly.
To think he would show no respect for seniority and treat his elder sister-in-law like this.
Was this how he usually educated him?
Gu Zhi had originally wanted to tease the big kid, Lu Yanbai, but she didn't expect Lu Yanshen to have finished his work already.
He even made Lu Yanbai kneel down.
Gu Zhi didn't think it was a big deal; the kid was just too happy to have someone at the bottom, and he didn't have any malicious intent.
It really wasn't necessary to kneel.
Besides, a child at this age was in a rebellious phase.
Gu Zhi thought the brothers might start arguing like this.
Just as she was about to speak up and let the matter pass, Lu Yanbai had already plopped down and knelt right in front of her.
He even apologized to her very sincerely:
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. No matter what, I shouldn't have said that to you or been so disrespectful."
Gu Zhi, who had just opened her mouth, closed it again.
She thought: This family upbringing is quite good.
After waiting for Lu Yanbai to apologize twice more, Gu Zhi lifted her fair, small face and said to Lu Yanshen:
"Let him get up."
Lu Yanshen had originally wanted to let him keep kneeling.
How could such a thing be let go so easily?
He could tolerate his younger brother having no ability, but he would never tolerate his brother having poor character.
Who knew that Gu Zhi would say again:
"He still has to go back to school."
Only then did Lu Yanshen let it go.
Lu Yanbai finally dared to get up and jumped up from the floor.
But he thanked Gu Zhi: "Thank you, Sister-in-law!"
Gu Zhi raised an eyebrow.
He only thanked her.
It seemed that in the eyes of the Lu family, it was only natural for Lu Yanshen to educate anyone in the family, and no thanks were needed.
As soon as Grandpa Lu returned and saw Lu Yanbai there, the old man was so angry his beard bristled: "You skipped class again!"
Hearing from the butler what Lu Yanbai had just said to Gu Zhi, the old man was even more furious:
"She is your sister-in-law! In ancient times, the elder sister-in-law was like a mother. Although it is not ancient times now, our family tradition remains the same!"
Hearing that he had already been punished, Grandpa Lu scolded Lu Yanbai a couple more times before stopping.
Gu Zhi had already seen a maid following Grandpa Lu, carrying a large cardboard box.
Gu Zhi didn't know what was in the box.
She didn't ask either.
But Grandpa Lu had already spoken to Lu Yanshen with a kind face:
"Yanshen, these are the letters that I and your Great Grandfather and the others have written to you from the 15th of last month until today. Grandfather still used blue envelopes; don't get them mixed up if you read them."
Is this how the grandfathers of the Lu family communicate with Lu Yanshen, mainly through letters?
Could that huge box be full of letters?
How many letters would that be?
And looking at Grandpa Lu, it seemed he had always written letters to Lu Yanshen like this in the past.
Gu Zhi was a little stunned.
"Grandfather, you and Great Grandfather write so many every month, and Eldest Brother is so busy. Even if he really wanted to read them, he couldn't finish them! Can't you write a little less!" Lu Yanbai said.
Grandpa Lu’s beard bristled: "If we could control it, would we write so many! Don't you know that we grandfathers are all chatterboxes!"
Chatterboxes...
Gu Zhi’s mouth opened slightly.
Lu Yanshen caught a glimpse with his cold eyes and inexplicably felt that Gu Zhi looked not only soft but also a bit cute.
Lu Yanbai saw it too and immediately laughed out loud:
"Sister-in-law, are you shocked? Haha, my grandfather and Great Grandfather are all chatterboxes!"
Gu Zhi hurriedly closed her mouth and denied it: "No."
She was afraid that if she admitted it, Grandpa Lu would be embarrassed.
