Chapter 451 You two, are you together?
After the parent-teacher meeting, Lu Boxi's grades were at the bottom, and Shen Li didn't even bother to talk to the teacher—she couldn't be bothered to waste time on such a trivial matter.
But just because she doesn't go to the teacher doesn't mean the teacher won't come to her!
As soon as the parent-teacher meeting ended, Ms. Han approached with a gentle smile, her tone respectful yet familiar: "Mrs. Lu, it's been a long time."
Shen Li smiled faintly and calmly returned the greeting: "Hello, Teacher Han."
Teacher Han didn't say anything harsh; he just smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with her. After all, the woman in front of him was the wife of the boss of the Licheng Group, the biggest "backer" of their school, and no one dared to neglect her.
The parents who can get their children into this prestigious private school are all shrewd and capable; everyone in the class knows Lu Boxi's identity.
So when Teacher Han said "Mrs. Lu," all the parents around immediately looked over.
Of all the children in the class, only Lu Boxi has the surname Lu.
Lu Cheng, the boss of Licheng Group, is a name that no one in the industry can forget.
After other companies became successful, they often named their businesses "surname + clan name". For example, they wondered why Lu Boxi's family wasn't called Lu Group.
But his company is Licheng Group.
There were a few people in the class who knew Shen Li, but only one or two of them were merchants who cooperated with Licheng Group.
These days, Lu Cheng always brings Shen Li to Li Cheng's annual meetings and various business banquets.
Even though Shen Li was extremely unwilling, she couldn't resist his insistence.
Before long, parents began to gather around, their tone respectful and warm: "Hello, Mrs. Lu."
Shen Li was always humble and approachable. When greeted by others, she simply nodded slightly in response, "Yes, hello."
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Shen Li turned slightly to the side and said gently, "You all keep talking, I'm going downstairs to find the child."
Everyone quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, Madam Lu, please take care."
Shen Li secretly cursed in her heart, wishing she could turn around and twist Lu Cheng's ear.
She has always preferred to keep a low profile, but this man always forces her to stand in front of others, leaving her no choice whatsoever.
Feng Ye was already waiting for her at the classroom door. Shen Li had just come downstairs when...
They saw Lu Cheng talking to a middle-aged couple not far away, looking calm and composed.
As she walked over, Lu Cheng immediately stopped talking and introduced her with a smile: "This is Bo Xi's mother, Shen Li."
The couple quickly nodded and greeted her, "Hello, Mrs. Lu."
As Shen Li was frowning in thought about the identities of the two people, Lu Boxi, who was beside her, quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Mom, these are Yizhi's parents."
Shen Li instantly understood, and a gentle smile spread across her face: "Mr. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, hello."
Mr. Zhao spoke first, his tone warm: "Mrs. Shen, the parent-teacher meeting just ended, and it's not too late. How about I treat you to a meal today, and we can find a place for our two families to sit down and let the children spend more time together?"
Shen Li turned her head and glanced at the person beside her who had just returned from abroad.
Lu Boyi, whose brows and eyes showed a hint of fatigue,
She then turned to Mr. and Mrs. Zhao, her tone gentle: "I'm so sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao, our eldest son just returned from abroad. He's had a long and tiring journey and needs to go home and rest first. Can we reschedule for another day?"
The smile on Zhao's mother's face froze for a moment, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
But she quickly covered it up, smiling and replying, "Okay, okay, it was our oversight, it was too last-minute. Let's reschedule for another day."
Shen Li nodded gently: "Okay."
After saying that, he turned and left with Lu Cheng, Lu Boyi and Lu Boxi.
Before leaving, Lu Boxi turned back and waved to Zhao Yizhi, who was standing beside her parents, and whispered, "Yizhi, wait for my call, I'll contact you."
Zhao Yizhi softly replied, "Okay."
Only the Zhao family of three remained on the spot.
Zhao's mother took her daughter's hand, her voice urgent: "Daughter, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! You must seize it and not miss it!"
Zhao Yizhi watched the departing figures of the Lu family members, her eyes somewhat dazed, lost in thought.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhao's mother quickly asked, "What's wrong? Why are you standing there like a fool?"
Zhao Yizhi snapped back to reality and shook her head: "It's nothing, Mom."
She turned to look at Zhao's father and asked earnestly, "Dad, do you think being handsome is more useful, or is wielding real power more useful?"
Without hesitation, Zhao's father replied, "Of course, it's more useful to have real power!"
"But Bo Xi is a good kid too. He comes from a good family, is rich, and is handsome. Yi Zhi, you have to work hard. If we can get on the good side of the Lu family, our family will be set for life!"
Zhao Yizhi nodded gently, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes: "Yes, Dad, don't worry, I will definitely work hard. I also want to be a woman like Mrs. Lu, someone that everyone envies."
Mr. Zhao immediately beamed with joy: "Good, good, good, that's my good daughter!"
Suddenly, Zhao's mother frowned and asked疑惑地, "By the way, I noticed that Madam Lu seemed unhappy just now. Did we offend her somehow?"
Mr. Zhao waved his hand with a smile: "Don't worry unnecessarily. Haven't you heard? Bo Xi's older brother just returned from abroad. Madam Lu must be worried about her son and wants to take him home to rest as soon as possible. It has nothing to do with us."
Zhao's mother was skeptical: "Is that really true?"
Zhao Yizhi ignored her parents' argument, her mind filled with thoughts of Lu Boyi.
—He was the eldest brother that Lu Boxi had mentioned, a prodigy who had already graduated with a master's degree from Cambridge at the age of twenty-two. There are only a handful of people like him in the world.
After graduating, he will probably take over the Licheng Group very soon.
If she could become the president's wife of Licheng Group, that would truly be the envy of everyone.
On the other side, Shen Li led her family to the underground parking garage.
She glanced at Lu Boyi beside her and said gently, "Second Brother, why don't you sit in the front? You'll be more comfortable there."
Lu Cheng followed her gaze to Lu Boyi, a smile in his eyes.
Lu Boyi immediately understood and quickly said, "Mother, I'll sit in the front. I can take a nap on the way and get some rest."
After saying that, without waiting for Shen Li's response, he opened the passenger door and got in.
Lu Boxi, who was standing nearby, leaned over with a sly smile and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Oh, Mom, so it turns out you still love me the most!"
Lu Boyi leaned out of the car window, glared at him, and didn't bother to waste words with him.
After everyone boarded the vehicle, the carriage instantly fell silent—the driver sat steadily in the driver's seat, while Feng Ye followed in another vehicle.
As soon as the car started, Shen Li turned to look at Lu Boxi beside her and asked in a flat tone, "You two are together?"
Lu Boxi replied matter-of-factly, "What do you mean by 'together'? Mom, we've been dating for a long time."
Shen Li rolled her eyes inwardly, thinking to herself: This bastard, he really didn't understand what she meant. She decided to be direct, her tone becoming a bit harsher: "I'm asking you, did you two sleep together?"
