Chapter 450 Lu Boxi's Girlfriend
When he turned his head, he saw Lu Boyi behind Shen Li again.
His smile widened, and his tone was affectionate and warm: "Big brother! You're back too? What brings you here?"
Lu Boyi looked at his delighted expression, his own expression remaining calm, but he still nodded slightly.
With a sincere tone of blessing, he said, "Yes, I just got off the plane and came with my mother to attend your graduation ceremony. Congratulations on your successful graduation."
At this moment, Feng Ye stepped forward and handed the sunflower in his hand to Shen Li.
Shen Li took the bouquet and gently handed it to Lu Boxi, her tone tender yet solemn: "After years of hard work, it has come to a perfect end. My son, happy graduation! May your future be bright, may you ride the waves, and live the life you love."
Shen Li never had high expectations for his second son, Lu Boxi.
To be honest, the fact that he was able to finish university and graduate smoothly already exceeded her expectations.
She dared not expect him to continue his studies and delve deeper into his academic pursuits like the eldest son.
He's a good kid as long as he's healthy and doesn't cause trouble.
Lu Boxi accepted the bouquet with both hands, his eyes crinkling with a smile, and moved closer to Shen Li.
He affectionately nuzzled her arm: "Thank you, Mom! Mom loves me the most!"
He held the bouquet, looking at it over and over, his eyes full of anticipation, as if he were searching for something.
Shen Li couldn't help but laugh at his expression, teasing him deliberately, "What are you looking for? Are you hoping there's a surprise hidden in the bouquet?"
Lu Boxi raised an eyebrow: "Mom, you know what I mean."
Shen Li smiled.
Then he reached out, opened his palm, and there was a car key hanging there.
Lu Boxi's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief.
She grabbed the car keys and exclaimed excitedly, "Wow! Mom! You're so amazing! This is the best graduation gift I've ever received. You really are my mom!"
He knew perfectly well that this key corresponded to a Koenigsegg CCR.
—That's a supercar with only fourteen units produced worldwide. It costs $46 overseas, which is more than four million RMB, and the official price in China is as high as more than seven million RMB.
However, since the family is already involved in the automotive industry, the cost of importing the cars from overseas, including various expenses, was only a little over five million yuan. But this sentiment is more precious than anything else.
Lu Boxi held the key in his hand and excitedly kissed it twice, his joy barely concealed.
Shen Li's gaze slowly fell on the girl next to Lu Boxi, her eyes filled with a gentle scrutiny.
Lu Boxi then realized what was happening and quickly pulled the girl next to him over, smiling as he introduced her: "Mom, Dad, Big Brother, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Zhao Yizhi."
"Yizhi, this is my mom, this is my dad Lu Cheng, and this is my older brother Lu Boyi. He just came back from abroad."
Zhao Yizhi quickly gave a gentle and obedient smile, bowed slightly to the three of them, and said in a sweet voice, "Hello, Uncle, Aunt, and Brother."
Her gaze lingered on Lu Boyi for a moment, a fleeting hint of amazement flashing in her eyes, but she quickly composed herself, appearing poised and dignified.
Shen Li nodded gently, a warm smile on her face, her tone calm yet friendly: "Hmm, hello. Speaking of which, you look a little familiar, I don't know where I've seen you before."
Zhao Yizhi's smile remained gentle as she softly explained, "Auntie, it's probably because I did a photoshoot with Bo Xi before, you might have seen it on TV."
"Oh, I see. No wonder it looked so familiar." Shen Li suddenly realized, and nodded with a smile.
The distance in her tone faded slightly. "It's fine. You two should just get along well."
Looking at the scene before him, Lu Boxi quickly smiled and suggested, "Mom, Dad, Big Brother, let's take some photos to commemorate my graduation!"
Shen Li smiled and nodded in agreement: "Sure, it's rare that our whole family is here today, we should take some photos to commemorate this."
Fengye, who was standing nearby, had already prepared a camera and thoughtfully stepped forward to act as the photographer.
However, after taking four photos, Shen Li waved his hand, unwilling to take any more.
—Because in every photo, Zhao Yizhi stood right next to Lu Boxi, without any intention of avoiding them or showing any consideration for them to take a group photo together.
Shen Li felt slightly uncomfortable, but didn't take it to heart.
Ultimately, these are all minor matters. Perhaps the girl is young and doesn't understand these social etiquettes, so there's no need for her to be so petty.
But for a fleeting moment,
She couldn't help but wonder to herself: Is this what people often say, that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are inherently incompatible?
But she had always had a very good relationship with Lu Cheng's mother, who was also her mother-in-law.
I've never argued with anyone before, so why do I have this strange feeling when it comes to myself?
Shen Li shook her head gently, reflecting to herself: Perhaps she was overthinking things. After all, this was her first time meeting Zhao Yizhi, so it was inevitable that she would feel a little awkward and uncomfortable.
After taking the photos, Lu Cheng and Lu Boyi stayed downstairs to wait.
Shen Li followed Lu Boxi upstairs to attend the graduation ceremony.
— Although it's called a graduation ceremony, it's more like a simple parent-teacher meeting. The teachers will briefly summarize the students' learning over the past four years and then offer their blessings to the graduates.
The graduation ceremony did not last very long, only about two hours in total.
Lu Boxi led her to the classroom and then left.
Only parents were in the classroom.
—His class was the school's top class.
My classmates are either academically excellent or exceptionally talented.
He was the only one who stood out from the crowd. Over the past four years, he hadn't made much progress, which made Shen Li feel somewhat helpless.
She couldn't help but make a comparison in her mind: Lao Lu Boyi was a gifted child who skipped grades all the way and is now a Cambridge master's graduate;
The third brother, Lu Boqian, is now a sophomore at the same university as the second brother. Although his grades aren't top-notch...
But he was also very hardworking; she had previously suggested that he study abroad.
But the child was stubborn and unwilling to leave home or venture out into the world, so she didn't force him any further.
—If he doesn't want to go, then he doesn't have to. As long as he can finish university peacefully and happily, that's fine.
Shen Li sat quietly for an hour, listening attentively the entire time.
She doesn't come to school often on weekdays, but whenever there's a parent-teacher meeting or an important event, she'll definitely come in person if she has the time.
Even if he couldn't get away himself, he would ask one of Lu Cheng or Lu Zhou to come over.
When the eldest, second, and third sons were studying in the capital, it was Lu's mother and Lu Sheng who went to help them.
Because her parents were always busy when she was a child, they never attended a parent-teacher meeting for her or accompanied her to a school event. She still remembers the feeling of being ignored and neglected.
Therefore, she didn't want her children to experience the same regret.
Putting herself in their shoes, she wanted to give the children the very best of everything.
Whether it's material satisfaction or emotional companionship,
She wanted to make the children the center of her life and spend time with them.
Let them grow up carefree and happy, so they know that they are never alone, and that they always have the protection and love of their family behind them.
