Lu Miao looked up and saw Gu Jinxi rushing in excitedly.
“Second Sister-in-law, you’re back.”
Lu Miao was speechless.” Didn’t you go home?” It’s so late. Why didn’t you sleep at home and come over?”
“Hehe, I just received the news that Second Sister-in-law is back, so I specially rushed back to accompany you.”
Gu Jinxi happily threw his bag onto the sofa and ran to the dining table to sit down.
Lu Miao put down the chopsticks in her hand and took off the bracelet from her wrist, handing it over to him.
“Only you can use it, don’t give it to anyone else.”
It wasn’t that she was being stingy, but the bracelet was simply not suitable for public display.
Gu Jinxi excitedly accepted it, holding it tightly in his hand like a precious treasure. “It’s a gift from my sister-in-law. How could I ever give it to someone
He immediately took out his phone and started snapping photos, opening WeChat and sending dozens of pictures to Gu Ziheng in retaliation.
“I have one too, and it’s even more beautiful than yours.”
He was so jealous that he looked at the photos that Gu Ziheng had posted on his WeChat moments countless times a day. At a glance, he could tell that there were more patterns on his bracelet and that it was more beautiful.
After showing off to Gu Ziheng, he started flooding his Moments, wishing he could tell the whole world that she had given him a gift.
Lu Miao raised her hand to her forehead, simply blocking his Moments for the time being.
After finishing their meal, she sent him off to sleep.
Gu Jinxi was too excited to sleep the whole night. He woke up the next morning with heavy dark circles under his eyes, leaving Lu Miao speechless. She should have waited until the morning to give it to him.
Gu Jinxi was in No. 3 Middle School. After the two of them had breakfast, they went to school separately.
As soon as Lu Miao entered the classroom, everyone in the class was in an uproar.
“Boss.”
A group of people surrounded her in an instant. Su MO looked at her with red eyes, as if she was about to cry.
Lu Miao patted her shoulder.” I went to see Shen Muhan yesterday. Don’t worry, he won’t be in a vegetative state for too long.”
Just like Shen Muhan, everyone in Class One had blind faith in Lu Miao.
There was no reason, they just believed in her.
Lu Miao was their unwavering pillar of support. Whatever she said would happen, would indeed happen. If she said Shen Muxuan wouldn’t become a vegetative state, then he definitely wouldn’t.
The classmates collectively breathed a sigh of relief, feeling at ease.
They began buzzing with questions about the challenge projects for the program.
The principal sent someone to call Lu Miao to the office.
Upon arriving, Lu Miao realized that besides the principal, there was another elderly person in the office.
She greeted the principal upon entering, “Principal Xu.”
The principal smiled and nodded, “Lu Miao, the director of the ‘Super Brain’ program contacted me. They said your performance on the show has been astonishing, and you’re the hot favorite to win this year’s competition. How do you feel? Are you confident?”
Lu Miao nodded, “Actually, you can replace the words ‘hot favorite’ with ‘the only one.’”
The program team’s challenges seemed very abnormal, but in fact, most of them had a pattern to follow.
As long as the right method was used, anyone could succeed in challenging it.
The principal was momentarily stunned, but then burst into laughter, “I knew it. You’re definitely the most outstanding.”
“Lu Miao, this is my good friend, Academician Zhou, from the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.” “Hello, Academician Zhou, ” Lu Miao politely greeted him.
Academician Zhou smiled and looked at her, “Lu Miao, I’ve heard that you are excellent in mathematics. Are you interested in joining my research group at the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science in the future?” Lu Miao blinked her eyes.
If she remembered correctly, both Elder Sun and Professor Wen were academicians at the Academy of Medical Sciences.
Moreover, she had just declined Elder Sun’s invitation.
He pursed his lips and tactfully refused.” I’m sorry, Academician Zhou. Compared to mathematics, I’m more interested in engineering physics research and applications.”
Academician Zhou laughed and slapped his thigh.” Isn’t this a coincidence? Lu Miao, it seems like we are really fated!”
Lu Miao had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the next moment, Academician Zhou said proudly,” I happen to be a double academician in mathematics and physics. Whether you’re interested in mathematics or physics, I’m fine with it.” Lu Miao…
“You’re not involved in biology as well, are you?” she asked.
“Oh, no,” Academician Zhou promptly denied.
Lu Miao was about to brazenly backtrack and admit her previous mistake when Academician Zhou proudly stated, “My son is in charge of the biology research group.”
So, there was no escaping the grasp of the Zhou familys influence? Lu Miao sighed, “Alright, but I have one request.”
“What is it? Just name it. As long as I can fulfill it, I definitely will,” Academician Zhou said confidently.
“Could we keeD it Drivate for now? I iust declined the invitation from Academician Sun,” Lu Miao said, feeling a bit awkward.
“That old Sun Huaiyu?” Academician Zhou widened his eyes.
Lu Miao nodded.
“Well, well, no wonder you asked about biology. Luckily, my family’s business is extensive, and I can act swiftly,” Academician Zhou exclaimed, slapping his thigh. “Don’t worry, I will absolutely keep it confidential for you.”
Given how talented she was, it was only natural to keep her tightly under wraps. After all, if someone were to snatch her away, where would he go to reason with them?
Academician Zhou forcefully added her contact information and then finally let her go.
Back in the office, Principal Xu spoke proudly, “How about that? Did I introduce you to a good apprentice?”
“A limitless future,” Academician Zhou nodded in great satisfaction. It had been years since he had come across such a promising talent.
What made Lu Miao even more remarkable was her rare combination of comprehensive skills.
After school in the afternoon, Lu Miao had initially planned to go to the hospital first to finish the acupuncture for Shen Muxuan before returning home.
However, as soon as she walked out of the school gate, a black car door opened on the roadside.
A middle-aged man got out of the car and approached her.
“Miss Lu, the old madam asked me to come and pick you up.”
Lu Miao had seen this person once in the Lu family. However, Grandma Gu had been praying for Gu Shiyan on the mountain. She had only seen her once in total. Why was she suddenly looking for her?
After all, she was an elder of the Gu family, so Lu Miao followed her into the car.
After getting out of the car, the man brought Lu Miao to the ancestral hall.
Lu Miao raised an eyebrow slightly. The Gu family had always adhered to ancient traditions, where only Gu family members were allowed to enter the ancestral hall.
When she first arrived at the Gu family, she wasn’t even allowed into the ancestral hall. Now, they wanted to meet her there.
Did Old Madam want to assert her authority as soon as she returned?
Entering the ancestral hall, Lu Miao saw Old Madam, who was supported by Gu Xingyu, offering incense to the ancestors.
Upon seeing Lu Miao enter, Gu Xingyu gave her a cold glance and said,
“Grandmother, she’s here.’
Without turning around, Old Madam continued offering incense and said, “Since you have entered the Gu family, you are now part of our family. Coming here to kowtow to our ancestors and offer incense is a way for our ancestors to acknowledge you.”
Lu Miao calmly spoke, “Strictly speaking, Gu Shiyan and I are only engaged, unmarried. I cannot be considered a member of the Gu family. It may not be appropriate for me to kowtow and offer incense at this time..”
