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

"Jingyao, you're here. Come in quickly. Your parents are already here." Lu Zeyuan came forward, his face full of friendliness.

The other guests were surprised to see this scene. Lu Zeyuan was the head of the Lu family and rarely welcomed a young person in person. But when they saw that the person he was receiving was Lu Jingyao, they no longer found it strange.

Lu Zeyuan is just a branch of the Lu family, and its assets are estimated to be less than one-tenth of Lu Jingyao's. Many things have to rely on Lu Jingyao's family, so naturally, they dare not be negligent in their attitude.

"Third cousin." After Lu Jingyao greeted him, he turned around, opened the back door himself, and helped Xu Youyou get out of the car.

Seeing this scene, the guests around couldn't help but murmur in their hearts, is Lu Jingyao in love? After all, no one has ever seen him so considerate to a girl.

A hand stretched out from the car door, with distinct joints, white and slender. Just a glance was enough to arouse people's imagination.

The moment they saw Xu Youyou's face, everyone couldn't help but breathe softer.

A long, fresh green satin dress with thin straps outlines her slim figure. She is so beautiful that she looks like a dream. If the wind blows, you might be afraid that she will be blown away.

"Such a beautiful girl, no wonder even the thousand-year-old iceberg Lu Jingyao is moved by her." A guest whispered.

Everyone could see that Lu Jingyao's mind was entirely on Xu Youyou at this moment.

Lu Shaoyan was originally standing behind his father Lu Zeyuan. When he saw Xu Youyou, his eyes widened in surprise.

The last time we met was at the Jade Museum. Although Xu Youyou was dressed in a grand manner, she was only wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans. She was nothing like she is now, so beautiful that one can't take their eyes off her.

Lu Shaoyan went to the Jade Museum several more times, but did not meet Xu Youyou. He did not expect to meet her here. He had always guessed that Xu Youyou was a canary raised by a big boss. Now that the mystery was revealed, he could not laugh at all.

What made him even more upset was that Lu Jingyao had actually brought her here directly. How was this any different from an official announcement? Could this woman become his cousin's wife? Would he have to rely on flattering her to make a living?

Lu Shaoyan kept staring at Xu Youyou, with all sorts of messy thoughts flashing through his mind, and he didn't realize that Lu Jingyao's eyes had become extremely unfriendly when he looked at him.

Lu Zeyuan, a man of great experience, tugged at his son and asked with a smile, "You've been staring at Miss Xu. Do you know each other?"

Xu Youyou smiled and said, "I did meet Young Master Lu once, and he even gave me a good stone."

When the old things were brought up again, Lu Shaoyan forced a smile on his face that was uglier than crying when he thought about how he had lost 400 million yuan inexplicably.

But when Lu Jingyao heard this, he looked at him as if he were a love rival: "Third uncle, I didn't know Lu Shaoyan had the habit of buying stones. Although it is gambling on stones, it is still related to gambling. It is better to stay away from it."

Lu Zeyuan turned around and glared at his son, scaring Lu Shaoyan so much that he shrank his neck and acted like a quail.

"Jing Yao, thanks for your reminder. This good-for-nothing boy of mine is really far inferior to you. He can't even write two characters of "Lu" with one stroke. You should take good care of your cousin in the future. I'll be relieved if he can learn one percent of what you have done." Lu Zeyuan tried to get close to him.

Lu Jingyao was still thinking about Xu Youyou's feet, so he said a few perfunctory words and led his men inside.

"Are you relatives?" Xu Youyou asked.

Lu Jingyao immediately explained: "Although we are relatives, the relationship is quite distant. Today is their grandfather's 70th birthday."

Xu Youyou was puzzled: "Is there an important person coming to celebrate the birthday?"

Lu Jingyao nodded. "He's from the capital. He has some connections with Lu Shaoyan's family. He's on a tight schedule, so he made an appointment to meet me here to discuss it in detail."

At this time, a middle-aged man and woman on the second floor looked down cautiously from upstairs.

"Is that the girl Jingyao likes?" Father Lu asked cautiously.

Mother Lu is obsessed with looks, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at Xu Youyou: "She's really pretty, but I don't know whose child she is."

Father Lu said, "You know all the girls in the circle. You've held many tea parties at home over the years. It's a pity that Jing Yao didn't like any of them."

Mother Lu got angry when she mentioned this: "If I had known he would take so long to catch on, I wouldn't have bothered with all that!"

Father Lu was worried: "You don't even know him, so he's definitely not in the same circle. If the marriage is not a good match, I'm afraid it won't help Jingyao much, and it won't last long..."

Mother Lu interrupted him: "Come on, her face is a perfect match for Jingyao! You're always being picky. Wait until Jingyao brings back a man who's a good match, and then you'll know what a good match is!"

Father Lu was speechless and stretched his neck to see how the two of them got along.

"Just hide, people are looking up!" Mother Lu reminded hurriedly.

Xu Youyou downstairs felt as if someone was staring at her. She looked up and saw only two heads shrinking back frantically.

Lu Jingyao followed her gaze and immediately frowned: "Sit here for a while. I see two acquaintances. Go say hello."

Before leaving, Lu Jingyao helped Xu Youyou sit on the sofa beside him, and even remembered to bring her some fruit snacks and drinks.

Lu Jingyao walked a few steps to the corner of the banquet hall and went up to the second floor along the hidden stairs.

At this time, Lu's parents carefully stretched their necks and looked downstairs again.

"Why is the girl alone here? Where did that brat go? He just left her there alone?" Mother Lu complained.

Father Lu said, "Maybe people are tired of his sour face every day, think he is annoying, and ignore him?"

Mr. Lu, who had been thinking about whether they were a good match, suddenly became anxious.

Lu Jingyao stood behind his parents with a dark face as he listened to them saying bad things about him. He coughed to remind them.

"Old Lu, why are you coughing suddenly? Do you have a cold?" Lu's mother asked casually.

Father Lu was puzzled: "I'm not coughing."

Upon hearing this, the couple turned around and saw Haodaer standing behind them.

"You walked silently and scared me!" Mother Lu was the first to blame her son.

Lu Jingyao said, "Didn't you say you couldn't come? You agreed earlier that I would represent you at the banquet today?"

Mr. and Mrs. Lu looked at each other guiltily.

"This is... This is because I haven't seen my relatives for a long time. It's a good opportunity to come here to reconnect with them." Mother Lu explained dryly.

Lu Jingyao frowned and said, "I remember you hated their family the most."

Lu Shaoyan's family often flaunts themselves outside under the banner of Lu Jingyao, which displeases Lu's father and mother. Therefore, Lu's parents rarely show up for Lu Shaoyan's family affairs. If they hadn't heard that Lu Jingyao would bring a female companion this time, the couple would never come to join in the fun.

Mother Lu casually revealed her peeping behavior and grabbed Lu Jingyao and asked him non-stop: "Son, tell us, who is this girl from? What does she do? What is her education level? How many people are there in her family? Does she have a good temper?"

Lu Jingyao said, "She's not from any particular family. She's in the antique business and has a good eye. She's found bargains several times and now does business with me."

Father Lu frowned slightly when he heard this.

Mother Lu was extremely excited: "A first-generation rich girl! A strong woman! Not only is she beautiful, but she's also capable. My son has excellent taste! Who knows, maybe one day when our family goes bankrupt, I can even live off you!"
