Besides, she is here representing the Gu Family anyway.
The Qi Family could only manage to invite the Gu Family.
They couldn't invite the Lu Family at all.
Even if they wanted to, they had no way to do so.
Then why would she need to use the Lu Family's name?
Although Zou Yuanhao had been hit, it only made him more rebellious, and he refused to shut up.
He even pointed at Gu Zhi and said:
"Am I wrong!? Which part of what I said is wrong!? Isn't she a cripple who married into the Lu Family based on a favor!?"
"Zou Yuan—" The Head of the Qi Family finally couldn't take it anymore.
But just as he started to speak, he heard Gu Zhi say lightly:
"President Qi, just let him speak. It's a good chance for me to see what a super simp looks like."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Even the Head of the Qi Family couldn't help but laugh.
The Zou Family members turned bright red.
It took a moment for Zou Yuanhao to process what Gu Zhi had said, and he immediately cursed: "Who are you calling a dog?!"
"I'm calling you one. Good heavens, everyone else understands, but you're the only one who doesn't. Is your IQ that low?" Gu Zhi said quite dramatically.
Everyone was laughing hysterically.
Secretary Zhao tried his best to hold it in, but his shoulders were still shaking with laughter.
"Gu Zhi, you—!" Zou Yuanhao wanted to rush over and hit Gu Zhi.
But how could the Zou Family let him make a move?
Mother Zou pulled him hard, even wanting to cover his mouth.
"Why are you so agitated? I'm not wrong, am I? Who doesn't know you're Shen Yuyao's super simp."
Gu Zhi performed steadily, being so sharp-tongued it could kill.
"You suddenly came over to ask for a seat change for Shen Lifeng, that was Shen Yuyao's idea, right?"
Everyone immediately looked at Shen Yuyao.
Only then did they realize that Zou Yuanhao had just come from beside Shen Yuyao.
Even Shen Lifeng and Sun Qin received a lot of attention.
And indeed, everyone knew that Zou Yuanhao was Shen Yuyao's super simp.
Shen Yuyao's face turned pale instantly.
She couldn't sit still on her chair anymore, so she stood up and cried weakly:
"Little Sister Zhizhi, how could you frame me? When did I ever ask him to go to you to change seats for Dad? I've been so wronged."
Upon hearing this, Zou Yuanhao immediately chimed in:
"Yuyao didn't ask me to! I couldn't stand it myself! Gu Zhi, stop framing people! This is your older sister!"
Gu Zhi shook her head continuously, "Tsk tsk, they say that if a simp keeps simping, they'll end up with nothing. I can already see your future."
Everyone laughed non-stop.
Madam Lu is truly amazing.
"Gu Zhi!!!" Zou Yuanhao was so angry he wanted to scream wildly.
Shen Yuyao cried even harder:
"Little Sister Zhizhi, you are bullying me too much. Just because you are Madam Lu now and more powerful than our family, you can just bully me as you please?"
Sun Qin was terrified that Shen Yuyao's image would be completely ruined, so she hurriedly said:
"That's right, Zhizhi, you have no evidence, how can you frame your older sister and bully her? If you have evidence, bring it out. I promise I'll beat her, but you really can't just make baseless accusations like this."
Gu Zhi just looked at Old Master Zou and the others, smiling as she sowed discord: "They say I'm framing Shen Yuyao. Do you all think so too?"
Old Master Zou and the others: "!!!"
Damn it, of course they didn't think so!
It must have been Shen Yuyao!
That's the only reason their Yuanhao would act so recklessly!
Every time their Yuanhao acted so recklessly in the past, it was always because of Shen Yuyao!
Everyone was stunned.
Is Madam Lu openly sowing discord between them?
She really doesn't treat them as outsiders.
Sun Qin panicked completely.
This dead girl's reaction was too fast.
Sun Qin could only say: "Old Master Zou, don't listen to her nonsense, that's really not the case!"
The two families were planning to open a hospital together; they couldn't afford to have a falling out now.
Shen Yuyao was also panicked and anxious.
Her crying became much more genuine now, and she wailed:
"I didn't, I really didn't!"
She never expected to lift a rock only to drop it on her own feet.
Shen Lifeng was so angry he finally spoke up: "Gu Zhi, that's enough!"
"Oh my, oh my, another dog is barking." Gu Zhi replied instantly.
Shen Lifeng was fuming.
Everyone was incredibly impressed.
She really could come up with something on the spot.
Zou Yuanhao was desperately trying to speak up for Shen Yuyao:
"Grandfather, Dad, Mom, Yuyao really didn't—"
But before he could finish, Old Master Zou had already barked: "Take him away now!"
Honestly, why should his grandson always take the blame while Shen Yuyao stays clean?
Today, he wouldn't let his grandson take the fall for Shen Yuyao.
He would just assume it!
It was Shen Yuyao who instigated his grandson!
Seeing this, Father Zou and Mother Zou didn't bother eating at the Qi Family anymore and dragged their son away.
They only left their father there to represent the Zou Family and continue attending Old Master Qi's birthday banquet.
But Zou Yuanhao refused to leave.
Naturally, he received another hard slap from Father Zou.
Mother Zou also kept hitting his arm and scolding him, and only then did he agree to leave.
Because of the tacit agreement from Old Master Zou and the others, the way everyone looked at Shen Yuyao had completely changed.
Shen Yuyao was so angry she cried even louder.
Gu Zhi smiled: "Today is Old Master Qi's eightieth birthday, and you're crying like this?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuyao was terrified of being kicked out, so she immediately stopped her tears and even hiccuped.
Everyone burst into laughter again.
Even Old Master Qi couldn't help but laugh.
Then he quickly stopped himself.
Only then did Gu Zhi say to Old Master Qi with a smile:
"Old Master Qi, I'm sorry for saying a bit too much just now. Fortunately, I didn't delay your birthday banquet from starting on time."
There were still five minutes until twelve o'clock.
Old Master Qi smiled:
"Not at all. You came to my house for the birthday banquet, yet such a thing happened. It should have been us to resolve it, but we troubled you to resolve it yourself. We are the ones who should be embarrassed and apologize."
Then, he darkened his face and scolded his son: "How are you acting as the Family Head!"
The Head of the Qi Family had already blacklisted the Zou Family and the Shen Family in his heart.
They really treated his house like a wet market, causing a scene whenever they wanted.
Hearing his father say this, he hurriedly apologized with extreme guilt: "Little President Gu, I am truly sorry. During the banquet later, I will definitely punish myself with three cups."
He wasn't calling her Madam Lu anymore, but Little President Gu?
As expected, the Head of the Qi Family was smooth and knew how to read the situation.
Gu Zhi knew what was going on and smiled: "No need, just make sure that when I toast the birthday star later, the birthday star must drink it."
Old Master Qi was beaming with joy: "If Little President Gu is offering a toast, I will definitely drink it, I will definitely drink it."
Even Old Master Qi had changed his form of address, calling Gu Zhi Little President Gu.
After interacting with her, and seeing that Gu Zhi appeared well-behaved and easy to get along with while smiling, but was actually like a sword without a sheath that was extremely sharp.
Old Master Qi and the other shrewd people all knew that even without the status of Madam Lu, Gu Zhi was not someone just anyone could step on.
Anyone who was blind enough to try would only have one outcome: finding out exactly how sharp Gu Zhi was.
Other smart people, seeing that Old Master Qi and the Head of the Qi Family had changed their address, naturally followed suit and called Gu Zhi Little President Gu.
