Li Peiyu suddenly realized and asked, "What do you mean?"
Lu Yuzhi nodded and replied, "Mm."
Li Peiyu couldn't help but feel indignant and said, "So someone is deliberately trying to cause me trouble?"
Lu Yuzhi replied with a smile, "Not too stupid."
Li Peiyu asked in confusion, "Why?"
"I've already found out for you, it's Qin Mingyue. She instigated Wen Yan to sleep with that director through someone else."
Li Peiyu frowned, looking worried, and said, "Qin Mingyue still cares about you."
"She's after my money and wants the Lu family to provide financing to the Qin family."
"She won't let this go. She'll definitely cause me trouble in the future. She'd better ruin me and then take advantage of my vulnerability."
Lu Yuzhi held Li Peiyu's hand and comforted her, "You need to be careful lately."
Li Peiyu nodded and replied, "Mm."
Lu Yuzhi looked at Li Peiyu with a firm gaze and said domineeringly, "Don't be afraid, your husband will soon swallow up the Qin family and have Qin Mingyue carry your shoes."
Li Peiyu smiled and said, "Okay."
As the two chatted, the car arrived smoothly at the Lu family's old residence before they even realized it.
Lu Yuzhi got out of the car first, and then gently opened the car door for Li Peiyu.
Li Peiyu slowly moved to the side, but did not rush to get out of the car, muttering something softly to herself.
Seeing this, Lu Yuzhi said, "What are you saying? Speak louder."
Li Peiyu said coquettishly, "My feet hurt, can you carry me?"
Lu Yuzhi couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Are you getting into this?"
Li Peiyu blinked and answered confidently, "Yes. A woman who knows how to be charming has the best life."
Lu Yuzhi squatted down slightly and said, "Come on up, little ancestor."
Li Peiyu chuckled and happily climbed onto Lu Yuzhi's broad back. Lu Yuzhi steadily stood up, supporting Li Peiyu's legs with both hands, and walked step by step towards the old house.
Li Peiyu wrapped her arms around Lu Yuzhi's neck, rested her head on his shoulder, and whispered, "Husband, you're so good to me."
Lu Yuzhi smiled and replied, "I'll take good care of my husband later."
"How should we serve them?"
"When Xiao Fan was recording the show, you should serve him the same way."
"You like being forced, huh? I'll pin you to the ground and rub you hard in a minute."
The two were talking shamelessly when they ran into Minzhi and Minhui.
The atmosphere became extremely awkward.
Oh dear, that little brat heard us!
Li Peiyu hurriedly jumped off Lu Yuzhi's back, and asked in a slightly flustered manner, "Minzhi, Minhui, what brings you here?"
Minzhi replied obediently, "Today is Saturday, we came to see our great-grandfather."
Li Peiyu responded with an "Oh".
Minzhi then asked, "Sister, is Jiang Shuchen from your company?"
Li Peiyu smiled and replied, "Yes."
Minzhi and Minhui said with expectant eyes, "We want his autograph."
Li Peiyu readily agreed, "No problem."
The two children's eyes lit up, and they asked again, "Can we see him?"
Li Peiyu nodded and said, "Sure. You can come visit my company sometime."
Minzhi and Minhui were overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Can we rest tomorrow?"
Li Peiyu answered affirmatively, "Sure. He happens to be at the company tomorrow."
After the family finished dinner, Li Peiyu was warmly pulled into their room by Minzhi and Minhui.
Minzhi asked curiously, "Sister, how did you win over my uncle?"
Um, how should I put it?
It was resolved directly, but this is something you can't talk about.
Li Peiyu smiled and said, "It was love at first sight."
Minzhi pouted and said, "Sister, you don't know, we've never spoken to Uncle before. He's so fierce."
Li Peiyu quickly explained, "He's not fierce."
Minzhi continued, "My dad, my dad, he's going to ask you to plead for him later. But don't agree to his request."
Li Peiyu asked in confusion, "What are you asking for?"
Minzhi sighed and said, "We didn't do well on the college entrance exam last year, so we're taking a year of remedial classes this year. If we still don't do well, my dad wants us to study abroad, but my uncle won't allow it."
Li Peiyu recalled meeting Lu Antai at the resort last time, and how Lu Yuzhi had mentioned this matter, but Lu Yuzhi had refused.
Li Peiyu asked, "Why won't your uncle allow it?"
Minzhi replied helplessly, "My dad and my uncle have a conflict. Anyway, if my dad asks you to go and persuade my uncle, sister, don't go."
Li Peiyu pressed further, "Then why?"
Minzhi said with a worried look, "We don't want to go abroad. We don't know anyone there, and we don't want to go."
Li Peiyu was at a loss; she couldn't get involved in any of this family's affairs.
But after marrying Lu Yuzhi, she could never escape his household chores.
Since Lu Yuzhi won't agree to let her go abroad, and Minzhi and Minhui themselves don't want to go either, she might as well just refuse Lu Antai's request.
The three were talking enthusiastically when suddenly there was a soft knock on the door, followed by a maid saying respectfully, "Miss, the school uniform has been dry-cleaned."
Upon hearing the sound, Minzhi quickly opened the door and said calmly, "Put it there."
Li Peiyu glanced at it subconsciously; the blue and white school uniform was quite similar in style to the one she wore in high school. She wore that uniform year-round back then, and the frequent washing and wearing over a long period had made it look worn and old. Her classmates always said her uniform looked like an old rag.
Li Peiyu couldn't help but exclaim with deep emotion, "It's practically brand new."
“It’s new. Our school uniforms are changed every month,” Minzhi replied casually.
"So extravagant?" Li Peiyu's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.
“School uniforms aren’t expensive.” Minzhi shrugged dismissively.
"Where did you buy it? I want one too."
"Sister, why do you need a school uniform?" Minzhi asked curiously.
"Keep it as a souvenir."
“Then you can just take one set. I’ll have the maid get another set tomorrow.” Minzhi readily agreed.
"Thank you."
Li Peiyu returned to her room and found Lu Yuzhi already fast asleep. She carefully put down her school uniform, picked up her nightgown, and tiptoed to the bathroom to take a shower like a kitten.
As she was drying herself off, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open. Lu Yuzhi, still sleepy-eyed, walked in unsteadily and then hugged her tightly from behind.
Li Peiyu said apologetically, "Did I wake you up?"
"Hmm, why are you back so late?" Lu Yuzhi muttered as he took the towel from her hand, his hands working diligently to dry her off as he spoke.
"Your two nieces have been keeping me talking non-stop. They say they don't want to go abroad," Li Peiyu said helplessly.
"Lu Antai has his eye on you."
"Hmm. I reckon they'll come to me about this soon." Li Peiyu sighed softly.
"You are not allowed to agree." Lu Yuzhi's tone was firm.
"Why?" Li Peiyu asked, full of doubt.
