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

Lu Jingyao's face darkened: "Mom, can't you just hope for me to be better?"

Mother Lu pretended not to hear her unfortunate son's words and turned to ask her husband: "Is my hair messy? How is my makeup? She is a working woman, and I, as a full-time wife, can't make a bad first impression on her. If it's messy, what if she looks down on Jing Yao because of me?"

Father Lu skillfully flattered him, "Excellent! You're perfect the way you are now! You're not a stay-at-home wife either. You're also in charge of two charitable foundations, and you're the pillar of our Lu family."

Mother Lu's face lit up immediately and she said, "You look pretty good now. You don't look like a retired old man at all."

The old couple looked at each other and felt happy.

Only Lu Jingyao looked defensive and said, "What do you want to do? Don't go and scare her suddenly."

Mother Lu looked unhappy and said, "Your father and I are not monsters, how could we scare her? Don't worry, we are not those evil mothers-in-law and fathers-in-law on the Internet. We know our limits."

Lu Jingyao couldn't feel at ease at all. He knew better than anyone how much these two people wanted to have a grandson.

Mother Lu rolled her eyes and pulled her husband: "Old Lu, talk to him quickly and tell him how hard my life has been these years!"

Lu Jingyao's eyes were full of suspicion. Mother Lu had been living a life of luxury these years, and had been getting everything she wanted at home. Even he, her own son, couldn't tell what had happened to his mother.

Although Father Lu was still worried about Xu Youyou not being a girl from the same circle, he couldn't help but feel that his son liked her and his wife also agreed. His slight opposition immediately disappeared without a trace. He was eager to support his wife and said:

"Your mother and I are both guests at the banquet. Is it not okay for us to chat with another guest at the banquet?"

"Yes, your father is right!" Mother Lu nodded vigorously.

Lu Jingyao was so confused that he simply said, "If she's scared away by you, I'll never get married and stay single for the rest of my life!"

This threat really hit the old couple's soft spot.

Mother Lu took a step back helplessly: "Okay, I won't bother her now, but you can't keep hiding from us like this."

Father Lu chimed in, "It's no use being so secretive all the time. When are you going to bring her home? Let's meet her formally. You're not young anymore, and you finally have a girlfriend. You can't just hide her. Your mom prepared a gift for us eight years ago, and it's almost patinaed, but she still hasn't given it away."

Lu Jingyao said: "Don't worry, we'll see each other when the time comes."

Mother Lu was so anxious that she almost jumped up: "Why aren't you anxious anymore? You're already 28, and men are worthless after 28!"

Lu Jingyao thought she was just making this up.

Mother Lu continued, "When your grandfather thinks about you being single, he can't sleep all night! Every day, all I can do is watch you and Assistant Liu flirt with each other, terrified that you two might fall in love. Do you know how hard it makes me feel?"

Lu Jingyao's forehead was bulging with veins: "Assistant Liu and I are innocent!"

Mother Lu snorted heavily: "I don't believe it unless you bring the girl home."

Lu Jingyao: ...

Father Lu, on the other hand, looked at his son with suspicion: "You little bastard, have you always been so one-sided?"

Lu Jingyao was silent.

Mother Lu hadn't expected the truth to be so cruel. Her head suddenly started aching. "Those little girls used to be like goblins seeing Monk Tang when they saw you. They were completely captivated by you. Is there a time when your face doesn't work?"

Lu Jingyao was a powerful figure in the business world, but he always felt particularly powerless when facing his own mother. At this time, he could only explain dryly: "She is not that kind of superficial person."

"She's not superficial, and I haven't seen you impress her with your inner beauty."

Lu Jingyao never knew that his mother had such a vicious tongue. He hesitated for a long time and didn't know where to start.

Father Lu suddenly glanced downstairs and saw Xu Youyou surrounded by people: "Wife, our future daughter-in-law seems to be in trouble!"

Xu Youyou was originally sitting on the sofa in a corner of the banquet hall, eating fruit peacefully, when suddenly a shadow blocked her way.

"Mom, my sister is here too."

Gu Xueying's voice successfully attracted Mrs. Gu over.

Mrs. Gu has been depressed recently because of her eldest son's illness. She came to the dinner this time because the Gu family wanted her to relax a little and stop looking so sad all day long.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Gu had only seen Xu Youyou's photo before, and this was the first time she saw her biological daughter who had been switched.

Even though Xu Youyou attended the dinner in a gorgeous dress, Mrs. Gu could find countless faults in just three seconds.

The hair is loose and not solemn enough.

Although the thin-strap dress looks good, it is too flashy.

His face had a stubborn expression, not very pleasing.

"Sister, call mom quickly. You don't know how much mom misses you." Gu Xueying urged Xu Youyou from the side.

Xu Youyou frowned as she looked at the mother and daughter and said, "I'm an orphan. Both my parents are dead."

Madam Gu stared at Xu Youyou's beautiful almond-shaped eyes with disgust: "Born in an orphanage, it turns out that her heart is wild."

Gu Xueying hurriedly said, "Sister, how can you say such things? Doesn't this chill Mom's heart? Listen to my advice, apologize to Mom quickly, and Mom won't bother with you."

Xu Youyou glanced at Gu Xueying and said, "Who do you think you are? Why should I give you face?"

Gu Xueying's face turned pale, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, saying, "I...I don't have any bad intentions. I just don't want things to get too awkward."

Mrs. Gu immediately protected her adopted daughter: "Don't bully Xueying! Let me tell you, although you are my biological daughter, I have raised Xueying for so many years. She is also the daughter of the Gu family, no different from you."

Gu Xueying looked at her adoptive mother with tears in her eyes and said, "Mom, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little injustice. As long as my sister can calm down and is willing to have a bone marrow match with my eldest brother, I am willing to do anything."

Mrs. Gu was reminded by her adopted daughter, and she thought about her own family's problem. Now the only one who could match the bone marrow with her eldest son was her youngest son.

Her youngest son has always been weak, and Mrs. Gu was afraid that donating bone marrow would harm his body, so she was naturally reluctant to do it.

But she was unwilling to let Mrs. Gu lose face and beg Xu Youyou.

Mrs. Gu had just come in five minutes ago and did not see Xu Youyou coming in with Lu Jingyao. When she thought of the other party's identity as someone who came from an orphanage, she instinctively felt that Xu Youyou had used some shady means.

"Xu Youyou, how did you get in?" Madam Gu lowered her voice and said, "As long as you are willing to undergo a bone marrow match with Feng Chuan, I am still willing to recognize you and help you smooth things over so that they don't kick you out now."
