When I got home, there was someone unexpected waiting for me.

"Brother Zhizhen, why did you come back from abroad?"

I was a bit surprised. Lu Zhizhen and I grew up together as childhood friends, but he was always much smarter than I was.

While I was still busy with elementary school, he had already started teaching himself middle school subjects.

By the time I was about to graduate elementary school, he had already graduated middle school and moved on to high school.

Later, when I was in high school, I heard he had already earned his PhD and was working as a professor at a university.

When I was preparing for Gu Pei's wedding and sent an invitation to Lu Zhizhen, I found out that this prodigy had surprisingly become a monk.

The Lu Family was one of the top families in Beijing, with members involved in both business and politics.

And the successor, Lu Zhizhen, was the one everyone had high hopes for.
