A wealthy family recognizes my relatives? But I am already a billionaire.

Xu Youyou took a step back immediately.

Her evasive attitude made Assistant Liu look hurt.

"What kind of help do you need? Just tell me first." Xu Youyou said.

"Our President Lu is going to attend a dinner party tonight and must have a female companion."

Xu Youyou frowned when she heard this. She had no ill feelings towards Lu Jingyao. This man had a good hand from the moment he appeared on the scene. He had a good family background, was handsome, and had a successful career at a young age.

But she just felt very strange, because she didn't even know Lu Jingyao in her previous life. At the auction before, Gu Xueying almost glued her eyes to him.

According to Xu Youyou's status in the Lu family in her previous life, the Gu family would indeed not let her contact Lu Jingyao, but it made no sense that she had never heard of him.

Considering that Gu Xueying’s husband in her previous life also had the surname Lu, it was said that he was from a branch of the Lu family. Because the young master of the main family died unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to be adopted by the main branch and inherited the huge fortune of the Lu family.

Xu Youyou couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Lu Jingyao was the unlucky guy who died early?

The more she thought of this, the more she dared not contact Lu Jingyao. After all, she was afraid that if something happened to him in the United States, she, who was close to him, would also be implicated.

"Assistant Liu, if you don't have a female companion, just don't bring one. I believe no one would dare to blame Mr. Lu for this." Xu Youyou refused with a smile.

Assistant Liu looked at Xu Youyou in disbelief. Looking at his boss's face, he found it hard to imagine that any girl would reject him.

"Ms. Xu, we really have no choice. If the gentleman doesn't have a female companion at tonight's banquet, there will be big trouble." Assistant Liu said with a bitter face.

Xu Youyou smiled and shook her head, saying, "How about you go find a female international student at a nearby university?"

Assistant Liu was still anxious and angry when he heard this: "Ms. Xu, I've tried it before, but people thought I was joking. I was even called old-fashioned. They said that domineering CEO novels don't write like that anymore!"

Xu Youyou couldn't help laughing, and felt that the words of international students were quite sharp.

"Then let your Mr. Lu pretend to be sick and just not go." Xu Youyou said.

Assistant Liu shook his head. "The organizers have invited us three times, and my husband agreed long ago. We still have some details to confirm at the banquet."

Xu Youyou frowned slightly: "What kind of cooperation can't be explained clearly in the meeting room? Why do you have to go to the banquet to talk about it?"

Assistant Liu's eyes flashed with embarrassment: "Commercial secrets."

Xu Youyou raised an eyebrow: "Since it is a commercial secret, you can't take me with you."

Assistant Liu was utterly embarrassed. Seeing Xu Youyou's refusal to budge, he could only lower his voice and say, "The daughter of our partner has a deep affection for Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu has repeatedly refused, but she keeps pestering him. Mr. Lu doesn't want to bother with her, but the cooperation hasn't been finalized yet..."

Xu Youyou understood immediately, but she and Lu Jingyao had no relationship, so even if she understood, she didn't want to put herself in danger.

【Promise him.】

The prompt that suddenly popped up from the system made Xu Youyou's eyes narrow.

"Are there any opportunities to get something for free at this dinner?" Xu Youyou asked the system in her mind.

The system quickly gave her a positive answer and told Xu Youyou that this dinner was of a very high level and ordinary people could not enter.

Assistant Liu was still begging, but Xu Youyou didn't postpone it any further. Instead, she said, "I didn't bring an evening gown, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find a professional makeup team for a while."

Assistant Liu was delighted when he heard this, and displayed his professionalism as a senior assistant: "Ms. Xu, don't worry, we have already prepared all these in advance. We just need one person."

Xu Youyou was soon taken by Assistant Liu to a high-end private studio next to the hotel, where a Chinese makeup artist was already waiting.

When she was halfway through putting on her makeup, several high-end brands sent her dresses. Xu Youyou randomly picked out a burgundy dress with thin straps.

With the lazy and fluffy hair specially made by the stylist, the whole person is so beautiful that it seems that she can walk on the red carpet in the next second.

Assistant Liu came over with a jewelry box in his arms, urging her to come over. When he saw Xu Youyou coming out, he couldn't help but breathe softly, "This is so... so beautiful..."

"We can set off now." Xu Youyou said.

Assistant Liu opened the jewelry box, revealing the sparkling blue gem inside under the flickering light.

This is a necklace dominated by sapphires. The impact of the main stone can be described in one word: big.

After Xu Youyou put on the necklace with the help of the stylist, she felt as if her neck was being pulled down.

"This is too heavy." Xu Youyou couldn't help but say.

Assistant Liu touched his nose and said, "You have to wear this necklace tonight. Mr. Lu said it's a gift from him to thank you for saving the day."

When Xu Youyou heard this, she immediately felt full of strength. A necklace of jewelry of this level would probably cost tens of millions.

She remembered that Gu Xueying seemed to have a similar one in her previous life, which was usually kept in a safe and only taken out and worn on important occasions.

"Mr. Lu is so polite. I'm not helping you for the sake of this necklace. I'm helping others simply because I'm a helpful person!" Xu Youyou smiled like a flower.

Assistant Liu's mouth twitched. If the smile on Xu Youyou's face wasn't so obvious, he might have really believed it.

Xu Youyou even suspected that this necklace was the bargain she had found tonight, but she had already put it on, so why didn’t the system give her any relevant prompts?

Lu Jingyao was sitting in the car with his eyes closed, resting, when he suddenly heard a gasp.

"Miss Xu..."

Lu Jingyao heard the driver's surprise.

He opened his eyes and looked out of the car.

People were coming and going behind Xu Youyou, but everyone's eyes were focused on her.

In the crowd, she was like a bright moonlight, so beautiful that she seemed to be glowing.

Lu Jingyao suddenly felt a little unhappy, as if his treasure was being coveted by others, but he quickly shook his head. He and Xu Youyou had nothing to do with each other, so naturally he shouldn't have such an inexplicable possessive desire.

Seeing Xu Youyou's hand always unconsciously touching the sapphire necklace, Lu Jingyao felt a little disappointed.

He gave the jewels to the beauty, but he wanted to see the beauty treat the jewels as ordinary things.

He looked at Xu Youyou's slightly mercenary little action and felt that it was a pity for her face, which was as beautiful as the bright moon. Such a beautiful woman seemed to have become vulgar.

Assistant Liu was like a eunuch serving beside an ancient concubine. He diligently opened the car door for Xu Youyou, held her hand and helped her into the car.

After getting in the car, Xu Youyou wanted to say hello to Lu Jingyao, but she didn't know how she had offended this old man. The other party was sitting so far away from her that several lines of 38th parallel could be drawn between the two of them.

Assistant Liu felt an inexplicable chill in the air and could only urge the driver:

"lets go."
