Elder Mrs. Gu stood up with the help of her cane, and Gu Bichen quickly stepped forward to support her.
Elder Mrs. Gu patted his hand. "Are you getting used to the new environment and classmates?"
"Everything is going well," Gu Bichen replied humbly.
Elder Mrs. Gu gazed at him, a hint of relief showing in her eyes.

Though the Gu family appeared wealthy and influential, Elder Mrs. Gu and Gu Chengxuan, along with his wife Amo, were actually very thrifty and humble people. Their daily lives were never extravagant. The couple often ate at the research institute's cafeteria, wore uniforms, and traveled in simple cars. Their personal desires were minimal, and most of their income went into research. Each year, they even allocated part of their earnings to charity, embodying the selfless and modest spirit of true scholars devoted to their work.
