Xu Youyou frowned slightly and asked, "Who's causing trouble in the Gu family? Is it still Gu Fengchuan?"

Aunt Wang quickly said, "It's not Gu Fengchuan, it's an elderly lady, surnamed Zhao."

As soon as these words came out of her mouth, Xu Youyou heard a sharp and familiar voice coming from the other end of the phone: "Who are you saying is old? I'm not old. I'm only in my early thirties!"

Aunt Wang immediately fired back, "You're clearly in your forties, and you don't even know if you're fifty. What did I say wrong? Do you think you're bringing a lot of people? If my family weren't at work, they would have come and beaten you!"

"I don't care, you have to apologize to me! And give me Xu Youyou's phone number!"

Aunt Wang's voice was filled with annoyance: "How can I give it to you if they don't agree?"

Xu Youyou didn't want to hurt Aunt Wang, so she said directly: "Aunt Wang, give me her number and I will contact her."

Xu Youyou’s phone has a whitelist set up, so numbers that she has no contact with cannot call in at all.

Aunt Wang was indeed fed up with Wang Menglian's constant pestering, but she still explained to Xu Youyou again and again: "Xiao Xu, Auntie wanted to help you stop it, but this shrew is too annoying, Auntie has no choice..."

Xu Youyou said, "Don't worry, Aunt Wang, I understand. I also want to thank you for helping me stop it for so long."

Soon, a number was sent.

Xu Youyou asked Xu Fang to contact the other party and make an appointment to meet outside.

After Xu Fang finished the call, her face was filled with indescribable expression. She said, "Boss, the person on the other end of the phone isn't very easy to talk to. Do you really want to meet her?"

Xu Youyou nodded.

The meeting time was arranged in the afternoon. After Xu Youyou took a nap, she slowly got up. However, Xu Fang's phone had been ringing several times, and the other party kept urging her.

Xu Youyou got into the car slowly and went to a high-end teahouse 3 kilometers away from her home.

Before entering the teahouse, I saw from afar a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup and gold ornaments on her neck and ears, craning her neck to look outside.

Xu Youyou walked over surrounded by bodyguards.

Zhao Menglian stared at Xu Youyou with wide eyes, her face filled with disbelief. She couldn't understand why Xu Youyou wasn't an orphan? Why was everything she wore so expensive, and why did she have four bodyguards and a female assistant with her? She looked even more impressive than the Gu family.

"Don't you insist on seeing me? Come in and sit down first." Xu Youyou said.

There were not many people in this high-end teahouse. Xu Youyou refused the waiter's suggestion to take them to a private room and chose to sit in the hall.

Soothing and lyrical music was playing in the tea room, and the aroma of tea was wafting around, but Zhao Menglian's face was still uneasy.

She glanced at the two nephews she was carrying behind her, gritted her teeth, and said, "The Gu family sent me here to take you back to recognize your relatives. This great opportunity has fallen upon you, so you must cherish it."

Zhao Menglian is not a member of the Gu family. She is a distant relative of the Gu family and is one of the flatterers surrounding Mrs. Gu. Zhao Menglian's husband runs a small business and the family's assets are only worth tens of millions. They rely on the leftovers from the Gu family to survive.

When Mrs. Gu needed to deal with some less decent matters, she would hand it over to Zhao Menglian, such as going to the urban village to quarrel and throwing a tantrum with the landlord.

For example, like now, he is threatening his own daughter on behalf of Mrs. Gu.

Xu Youyou has always known that Madam Gu is partial to her, but at this moment she still feels mixed emotions. It turns out that from the very beginning, she has been an indecent existence in Madam Gu's heart.

Xu Youyou said casually: "Whoever wants this blessing can have it. If you like, you can also go back and call Madam Gu mom."

Zhao Menglian was so angry that she slammed the table and said, "I'm talking to you nicely, don't refuse my toast and drink the penalty."

Xu Youyou turned around and gave the bodyguard a look.

The 1.9-meter-tall bodyguard, who had served in the military, directly scolded him, "Talk to our boss nicely and don't slam the table all the time."

The other three bodyguards also stared at her fiercely.

Zhao Menglian had never seen such a scene before, and she shrank her neck in fear, but then she remembered that she also brought her two nephews with her.

But her two nephews just exchanged glances with the bodyguards and immediately shrank their necks in fear, looking as if they wanted to find a corner to hide in.

Zhao Menglian cursed the two useless people in her heart. She couldn't understand why Xu Youyou suddenly became rich? The information from the Gu family's investigation showed that this orphan had been poor for a long time.

Zhao Menglian thought about the short videos she had seen recently: some people who obviously had no money but liked to show off, hiring a bunch of people to flatter them, pretending to be rich ladies, and becoming internet celebrities.

She felt that Xu Youyou must be pretending, and now there was a bit more disdain in her eyes: "Xu Youyou, if you return to the Gu family and can win the favor of my cousin and cousin-in-law, maybe you can really show off your wealth as a young lady, and you won't have to pretend like you are now without money."

Xu Youyou:?

Xu Youyou didn't understand Zhao Menglian's train of thought, and frowned and said, "If that's all you have to say, then don't waste my time."

The bodyguard behind him also gave him a fierce look.

Zhao Menglian was so frightened that she could only repeat in her heart that it was all a bluff. She mustered up the courage to convey Mrs. Gu's intentions: "I accept you on behalf of the Gu family, but you don't understand the etiquette of high society, so you can only go back as the Gu family's adopted daughter."

Xu Youyou looked at her with an even stranger look in her eyes: "I think I've rejected you more than once. Whether it's your biological daughter or your adopted daughter, I don't care."

"The Gu family has 50 billion in assets. Even plucking a single hair from them would make you richer than you are now... and you're willing to give it away!"

Xu Youyou felt a little regretful. She didn't want to see Zhao Menglian throwing a tantrum, so she chose to meet in a high-end teahouse. But who would have thought that it was she, Xu Youyou, who wanted to throw a tantrum and hit someone more now?

"You are anxious. Why do you seem to care about the Gu family's money more than I do? Didn't I say that I am willing to give you the opportunity to be my daughter?" Xu Youyou said.

"Who doesn't want to go home? Your blood relatives are there! The Gu family is also a top wealthy family..." Zhao Menglian said naggingly.

Xu Youyou felt sick to her stomach when she heard this, sounding so familiar: "Aren't my blood relatives coming to pick me up in person? Where's Madam Gu?"

Zhao Menglian didn't know how to explain. Should she say that Mrs. Gu had mysophobia and refused to set foot in the urban village?

When Xu Youyou saw her expression, Mrs. Gu’s face almost appeared in front of her eyes.

The Gu family hasn't bothered anyone for a while, but they suddenly show up now. Could something have happened?

She thought for a moment, thinking about what happened at this time in her previous life, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

"Your mother is busy with something, so she asked me to pick you up..." Zhao Menglian said with difficulty.

Xu Youyou deliberately asked: "She sent someone like you to pick me up, is she actually my stepmother?"
