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

Listening to his friends' words, Lu Shaoyan, who had just put away his golf club, turned around and saw Xu Youyou's familiar face. Since Lu Jingyao was involved, he didn't dare to do anything bad behind her back and said directly, "She was brought here by my fifth cousin."

Everyone present knew who Lu Shaoyan's fifth cousin was, so they immediately stopped thinking about it.

"What a pity, but it's no wonder that your fifth cousin would be attracted to such a beautiful girl." The man who said at the beginning that he wanted to pursue Xu Youyou could only look at Xu Youyou's back reluctantly for several times.

Lu Shaoyan thought that Xu Youyou was not only beautiful, but also a rose with thorns, whoever touched her would be pricked.

The other playboy, on the other hand, had no other thoughts about Xu Youyou. He was simply curious about what she was going to do. "Shao Yan, what good stuff did you hide at the end of the corridor? Why did she run there?"

Lu Shaoyan shook his head: "That's a utility room. There are only tools and trash cans in there. What good things can there be? Ignore her and let's have fun."

Lu Shaoyan thought Xu Youyou was lost. He even hoped that Xu Youyou would wander around here for a while and finally rush into the trash can and stand there, so that he could get revenge for the stone being stolen.

Xu Youyou walked smoothly all the way to the innermost storage room of the Lu family villa.

She stood in the utility room filled with sweeping tools, her eyes fixed on the large trash can in the middle of the room.

There was only one large item in the trash can at this time, a dirty carpet.

"Guest, are you lost?"

Xu Youyou turned around when she heard the question and saw a middle-aged woman wearing the Lu family's light blue servant's uniform.

Liu Cuiyun had worked as a maid in the Lu family for several years. Just now, someone had soiled the floor in the billiard room, so she ran to clean it up. Unexpectedly, when she came back, she saw Xu Youyou in gorgeous clothes, standing on tiptoe to look into the trash can with her head almost buried in it.

She has always been responsible for cleaning the west leisure area. The carpet in the trash can should have been thrown away early in the morning, but she was busy today and has not thrown it away until now.

Xu Youyou was not panicked at all when she was seen. Instead, she asked calmly, "Don't you want this carpet anymore?"

Liu Cuiyun nodded hesitantly.

Xu Youyou said, "I want it. Ten thousand yuan. Will you sell it to me?"

Liu Cuiyun did not expect such a pleasant surprise. This carpet had been placed under the mahjong machine in the chess and card room. The late Mrs. Lu loved playing mahjong. This carpet was said to often bring her good luck and help her win money. For so many years, the servants were not allowed to touch or clean it, for fear of ruining her good luck in playing cards.

I don't know what happened late last night, but this carpet caught Mr. Lu's eye. He insisted that people throw it away. It seemed that Mr. Lu would get angry whenever he thought about the existence of this carpet.

According to the rules of the Lu family, they don’t care what the servants do with the things the master throws into the trash can, as long as they don’t stay in the Lu residence.

So, at this time, the carpet belongs to Liu Cuiyun.

"Just go out and find a car with the license plate number ZA888. Tell the driver that this is the one I want and put it in the trunk." Xu Youyou said.

When Xu Youyou returned to the banquet hall, Lu Jingyao seemed to have completed the contact with the important person.

"You are very happy." Lu Jingyao said.

Xu Youyou was puzzled: "Is my performance obvious?"

Lu Jingyao shook his head. Xu Youyou's performance was not very obvious, but Lu Jingyao had been observing her carefully, and only then did he discover her subtle changes.

Xu Youyou said: "I just thought of something happy."

This time, the treasure he found was from the Lu family's trash can. It is not clear how much it is worth, but Xu Youyou is particularly happy as long as she can see Lu Shaoyan, one of her enemies in the previous life, earn less money.

Mrs. Gu changed into a spare dress and returned to the banquet hall accompanied by her daughter. The spare dress made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

When she saw Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao together from afar, Mrs. Gu felt even more uncomfortable.

She almost thought she was seeing things, and couldn't help but grab her adopted daughter's arm and demanded, "How did Xu Youyou hook up with Lu Jingyao? Look at her, she's so close to him, almost throwing herself into his arms. How can she have no self-respect!"

Gu Xueying also found this scene particularly annoying. She lowered her head, concealing the fact that she had previously encountered the two of them chatting happily at the auction venue, and said, "My sister is beautiful, it's normal for Mr. Lu to like her."

Madam Gu frowned, "Seeing a man, her bones are all weak. She's too frivolous!"

Gu Xueying said worriedly, "We still don't know how my sister got in. Could it be that some young master brought her in? If the person who brought her in saw the two of them being so intimate, would there be a scene? What if my sister asks mom for help, should we help her?"

The first thing Mrs. Gu thought of was to distance herself from the matter. She immediately said, "Doesn't Xu Youyou always say she's an orphan? If a fight really breaks out, I won't care about her!"

However, Gu Jianming appeared next to his wife and daughter at some point. He also saw Xu Youyou, but his thoughts were different.

"Lu Jingyao seems to like her very much. We must recognize this marriage." Gu Jianming said firmly.

Madam Gu was immediately anxious when she heard this: "She doesn't want to acknowledge us, so I don't want to be rejected by her!"

Gu Jianming still had a gentle smile on his face, but his expression did not allow for rejection: "She is the daughter of the Gu family, and Fengchuan is also waiting for her to save his life. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. You should persuade her well. If she is willing to return to the Gu family as an adopted daughter, I will not treat her unfairly."

Gu Jianming originally thought that his daughter Xu Youyou, who was living away from home, was dispensable, but after seeing Lu Jingyao, he felt that his daughter finally had some value.

In Gu Jianming's view, the idea of ​​adopting a daughter is both offensive and defensive. If Xu Youyou really relies on Lu Jingyao, even if it is not as a wife but just a little lover, this investment is worth it.

Of course, if Xu Youyou was abandoned by Lu Jingyao, her status as an adopted daughter would allow the Gu family to draw a clear line between themselves and Xu Youyou in the shortest possible time.

Madam Gu said, "They are just playing around. If Lu Jingyao really wants to like someone, he should like Yingying, a well-educated and well-mannered daughter of a wealthy family."

Gu Jianming glanced at his adopted daughter and said, "Yingying has her own blessings, and Xu Youyou has her own luck. Having more daughters is not a bad thing."

Gu Xueying was biting her lower lip at this time, and she looked at the backs of Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao who were talking happily with almost jealousy.

Lu Jingyao is young, handsome and extremely wealthy, and is a top marriage candidate in the wealthy circle. Gu Xueying has also participated in the Lu family's camellia party, but no matter how she tries to please Mrs. Lu, she has never gotten the opportunity to have a formal blind date with Lu Jingyao.

She whispered at this time: "Dad, my sister said that she would only be willing to have a bone marrow match with my eldest brother if she wanted all our family property."

When Gu Jianming heard this, he frowned and cursed in a low voice: "Asshole!"

Gu Xueying deliberately said, "Dad, my sister is so hostile to our family. If all the family assets are given to her, maybe she will be willing to help the family. Otherwise, why don't you give her some of the assets first?"

Gu Jianming was not even completely confident in his eldest son Gu Fengchuan, whom he regarded as his heir, so how could he possibly hand over the family's huge assets to a daughter with whom he had never lived.

"You can't write two words for Gu with one stroke. She's angry with us now. As long as we coax her well, I don't believe she will go against her biological parents."

Gu Jianming was actually very dissatisfied with his wife.

He felt that recognizing one's relatives was just a trivial matter, but neither Gu Fengchuan nor Mrs. Gu had done a good job in such a trivial matter.

Madam Gu said helplessly, "If she was really so easy to talk to, why would I be in such a mess now?"

Gu Xueying didn't say anything. She hadn't seen Xu Youyou's bottom line yet and didn't know what this person was going to do.

Gu Jianming was still so self-righteous. He ignored his wife and daughter and walked towards Lu Jingyao and Xu Youyou instead.

Gu Xueying felt that her father might run into a wall, but in order to avoid being angered, she didn't dare to say anything.

Gu Jianming approached the two of them so openly, raised his glass and said, "Mr. Lu, I want to thank you for taking care of my daughter."
