As if grasping at a straw, Zhang Feng grabbed Xu Zhesheng's hand and scrambled towards Lu Zichuan, stammering, "President Lu, I'm so sorry, I really didn't know it was you..."

"You are a magnanimous person, please don't stoop to the level of us country folk."

Her palms were sweaty, making Lu Zichuan's trouser legs wrinkled. He clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, and Assistant Liu quickly stepped forward to pull Zhang Feng away, patting his trouser legs as he did so.

Lu Zichuan's gaze remained fixed on the trouser leg. It took him a long time to look up, and his eyes were even colder.

"Apologize not only to me, but also to your daughter-in-law."

Zhang Feng dared not disobey and quickly said, "Okay, okay, Zhizhi, it was Mom's fault. We were too harsh just now. Don't hold it against Mom. Mom apologizes to you here."

Even though she knew the other party apologized because they were intimidated by Lu Zichuan's power, Shen Zhiyi was still very satisfied.

She glanced gratefully at Lu Zichuan, who nodded slightly and looked down at his phone, handling some matters.

Seeing that they were no longer bothering her, Zhang Feng pouted and retreated to the wall.

The apology to Lu Zichuan was sincere, after all, she was powerless to resist that kind of influence.

But he had absolutely no sincerity towards Shen Zhiyi.

She lowered her eyes, her gaze sweeping back and forth over Shen Zhiyi and Lu Zichuan's shoes.

In her line of sight, Shen Zhiyi's feet were pointing straight forward, while Lu Zichuan, with his legs crossed, seemed to be leaning towards Shen Zhiyi.

Having been through it all and witnessed countless bizarre things in the countryside, she was almost immediately certain that this guy had feelings for Shen Zhiyi.

A hint of resentment flashed in those narrow, slender eyes. Shen Zhiyi was truly fortunate to have married into such a powerful and wealthy family.

Now you want her to apologize? Once she gets hold of something on these two, she'll say that Shen Zhiyi cheated on Xu Zhesheng in order to climb the social ladder.

She refused to believe it; even the Lu family couldn't possibly wield such immense power that they could control everything.

At that time, she will not only make Shen Zhiyi kneel down and kowtow to her, but also make the Lu family pay money to obediently elevate her son to the heavens!

Besides, once Manman gives birth, she'll report Shen Zhiyi to the police for pushing her! She almost got her grandson into trouble; she'll make that woman pay!

......

In the shadows of a corner.

He Shuyun wore a deep purple cheongsam, while Wang Senlin's white shirt almost blended into the wall color.

The two held their breath, taking in the overwhelming confrontation before them.

He Shuyun gripped Wang Senlin's forearm tightly, her nails digging into his flesh. A startling blush spread across her well-maintained face, and her voice, though extremely low, trembled uncontrollably: "Minister Wang...did you see that? Did I see that?"

Wang Senlin's Adam's apple bobbed, equally excited, and he managed to squeeze out a breathy voice through clenched teeth: "I saw it clearly, madam."

"Zichuan... he actually used the Lu family's name to pressure people for the sake of that child..."

He Shuyun's eyes instantly welled up with tears; recalling the past, her voice choked with emotion.

"Do you remember when his older brother secretly invested money in his startup project? When he found out, he didn't speak to his brother for a whole year! Now... now, for a girl, he's lowered his standards to the bare minimum!"

She quickly dabbed at her eyes with her sleeve, her eyes brimming with overwhelming joy through her tears: "This is love to the extreme! The Lu family will have an heir! There's really hope!"

What are the rumors about same-sex relationships, what is the pressure from the family? In He Shuyun's eyes, none of them matter as much as the eyes of her son that reflect only one woman.

Shen Zhiyi was married? That's nothing! She was cheated on and harassed by her wicked mother-in-law, yet she still stood up gracefully and resiliently. Her composure and demeanor are ten times better than that family who throw tantrums!

As for pushing people? He Shuyun was certain that with such a top-notch suitor as Zichuan around, even if Shen Zhiyi had bad taste, she wouldn't be interested in Xu Zhesheng's good-for-nothing family!

In my line of sight, Shen Zhiyi and Lu Zichuan sat side by side on a chair, a handsome couple whose radiance was so dazzling that it was impossible to look away.

He Shuyun became increasingly eager to see it, as if she had discovered a priceless treasure. She quietly took out her phone and snapped a picture, capturing the moment.

With fingers flying across the keyboard, she tossed the photo into the "Find a Girlfriend for Zichuan" group chat (which didn't include Lu Zichuan), her caption overflowing with excitement: "Family! Look! Aren't they a perfect match? A match made in heaven!"

The message was sent out and received a reply instantly.

The first message was a voice message from Lu Jianzhong, who was overseas. As soon as I opened it, the howling wind made his booming voice sound like thunder: "Wife! What's going on?! Zichuan has a woman with him?! Really?!"

The level of surprise was as if the younger brother had won a billion-dollar lottery.

The second one is Lu Ziyang's wife, Bai Bai Qinghua, who types so fast it's like sparks are flying:

"Mom! Who is this girl?! My God, she's so beautiful! But... didn't Zichuan never let women get close? This is such a big reversal!"

The words themselves conveyed a sense of lingering fear.

Immediately afterwards, video call requests started popping up like crazy.

They are Lu Zhentian and Lu Xiaojing, an elderly couple who are living abroad in their retirement.

He Shuyun quickly crouched down, covering her phone tightly, afraid that Lu Zichuan would find it, and whispered, "Dad, Mom..."

On the screen, 75-year-old Lu Xiaojing, with her shiny silver hair and vigorous spirit, had a kind face flushed with excitement, almost bursting out of the screen: "Shuyun! Tell me quickly! Zichuan is in love?! This girl looks so beautiful! Good! Good!"

Seeing that her mother-in-law was even more excited than she was, He Shuyun smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, don't worry. Right now, it's just that Zichuan likes this girl, but her situation is a bit complicated..."

Lu Zhentian, standing to the side, dressed in an elegant Chinese-style jacket, looked even more energetic than his wife. With a wave of his hand, he made a decisive statement:

"Shuyun! No matter what this girl's background is! As long as Zichuan likes her, she's part of the Lu family! We'll book our plane tickets and come back right now! Let's get ready, choose an auspicious date, and hold the wedding!"

He Shuyun was about to vaguely mention that Shen Zhiyi was still married when the Lu family elders abruptly ended the video call, clearly too excited to hear anything else.

Wang Senlin watched from the sidelines, his heart pounding with excitement, his hands trembling.

He watched Lu Zichuan grow up, and for so many years, not even a female fly would come near him, which worried the whole family so much that their hair turned white.

Now, the clouds have finally parted and the moon is shining. Judging from President Lu's protectiveness, it seems that becoming the mistress of the General Star is a sure thing!

He subconsciously touched the cigars he had prepared for the celebration in his pocket.

The last message was sent by Lu Ziyang, who was presiding over an important meeting in Haishi.

He was jolted out of the meeting by a phone call from Bai Qinghua, with the faint sound of a report audible in the background.

He didn't send a voice message or type a text message; he simply sent his assistant a screenshot of an instruction.

"Find all the information about the women around Lu Zichuan in the photos. I need to see it in ten minutes."

Then he left a message in the group chat, his joy undisguised:

"Am I going to have a younger brother or sister-in-law?"
