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

Although there were surveillance cameras in the banquet hall, no one suggested checking them at this time. As soon as Lu Jingyao opened his mouth, he almost completely confirmed Gu Jianming's guilt. What's more, he had been planning to put his arm around someone's shoulder.

Gu Jianming was so anxious that he almost jumped up. In his wild thoughts, he actually found a reason to refute: "What's wrong with putting an arm around someone's shoulder? Is this against the law?"

His words actually touched the hearts of the men present.

Gu Jianming found a way in and attacked his daughter directly: "Xu Youyou, do you take yourself too seriously? Do you really think everyone has ulterior motives towards you?"

There were even a few old men around who echoed his sentiments.

Xu Youyou raised her eyebrows. Before she could speak, Lu Jingyao spoke first, "Any action that a girl doesn't like is offensive. A normal and polite man shouldn't touch a strange girl casually."

Gu Jianming defended himself: "She is not a stranger, she is my daughter."

Xu Youyou said, "I was born in an orphanage. Can anyone claim to be my father? Did the Gu family raise me or support me? I don't even know him!"

Lu Jingyao looked back at Xu Youyou. He thought of the auction where he first met Xu Youyou and her particularly targeted attitude towards the Gu brothers and sisters. He vaguely guessed the relationship between Xu Youyou and the Gu family.

But he feigned ignorance and instead joined Xu Youyou in raising questions: "Mr. Gu said Miss Xu is your daughter. Whether it's sponsorship or adoption, unless you can produce the adoption certificate or transfer records, your empty words will only make you look like a false accusation."

Someone jumped out to act as a reasonable person and said with a smile, "Mr. Lu is right. If the Gu family really had an adoptive relationship with this young lady in the past, it's not like a wealthy family like the Gu family would adopt a child without spending any money. There must be transfer records. Old Gu, don't hide it, show us the transfer records."

Gu Jianming had no record of the transfer. He glanced at the person who was speaking and saw that it was his business competitor Chen Senlin. He was immediately furious.

Lu Jingyao continued, "If you can just casually claim to be someone else's father, then what's the difference between you and a human trafficker?"

Xu Youyou immediately agreed, "Yes, Mr. Gu said he was my father, and I said I was his grandmother. If he doesn't want to call me grandma, I can really let this matter go."

Gu Jianming was so angry that he almost fainted. He pointed at Xu Youyou and cursed, "You bastard! You unfilial daughter!"

Although he could not produce the adoption certificate and transfer records, seeing his genuine anger, everyone present couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, could it be that Xu Youyou is really Gu Jianming's adopted daughter?

Lu Jingyao's face darkened and he said, "Mr. Gu, Miss Xu has nothing to do with you. Since you never raised her, you have no right to blame her. On the contrary, you owe her an apology."

Gu Jianming opened and closed his mouth, the hesitation on his face almost solidified, as if he was struggling with whether to say something out loud.

When things got to this point, Gu Xueying was the most panicked person in the whole audience. She wanted to force Gu Jianming to admit his mistake so that people would stop discussing the word "daughter". She was afraid that Gu Jianming would lose his temper and reveal whether the daughter was real or fake.

Gu Jianming had his own considerations in mind: a fake daughter would affect the value of the marriage market, and having an uneducated biological daughter would also affect the reputation of the Gu family.

But if he, the head of the family, turns into a beast who gets horny regardless of the situation, it will not only affect his children's marriages, but also the Gu family's business.

I had always wanted to keep this matter secret, but who would have thought that Gu Jianming would say it himself.

"Xu Youyou is my biological daughter."

There was an uproar.

"Xu Youyou is the Gu family's illegitimate daughter?" This was the first reaction of the guests present, rather than whether she was a real or fake daughter.

Xu Youyou said with a cold face: "Mr. Gu, let me say it again, I am an orphan whose father and mother have died. I don't have any biological parents at all."

Gu Jianming felt relieved after saying this. Now that he had spoken, he quickly figured out how to protect Gu Xueying and minimize the losses. "My wife gave birth to twin daughters. The eldest daughter was stolen by the nanny and ended up in an orphanage."

Hearing this, everyone present felt a little sympathy for Gu Jia and Xu Youyou.

One lost his own daughter, and the other lost a wealthy life of more than 20 years.

Xu Youyou laughed in anger and said, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. We haven't done a paternity test, so why do you say I'm your daughter?"

Lu Jingyao sensed Xu Youyou's turbulent mood swings and patted her hand soothingly. He then turned and questioned Gu Jianming, "Mr. Gu, why haven't you seen the Gu family looking for anyone in all these years? With the Gu family's financial resources, are they stingy about offering a multi-million dollar reward to find their daughter? Or do you care more about the impact of this scandal on your reputation than on your own daughter?"

Lu Jingyao's words hit the nail on the head. Everyone who had been led by Gu Jianming suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Gu Jianming's old rival, Chen Senlin, also fanned the flames. "Old Gu, we've known each other for so many years, and I never knew the Gu family had two daughters. Are you getting senile and confused? Are you having hysterics every day? Without a paternity test, you're claiming someone else is your daughter. That's what human traffickers do."

Gu Jianming was so angry that he clenched his fists. Who was he to be compared with human traffickers?

"How about you do a paternity test?" someone who was eager to watch the fun suggested.

Xu Youyou smiled and said, "I don't look like Miss Gu at all. Is there any need for a paternity test?"

Everyone looked at Xu Youyou and then at Gu Xueying. There was indeed not much similarity in their faces. They even found something particularly strange. Neither Xu Youyou nor Gu Xueying looked like the Gu couple.

"It's strange, Gu Xueying doesn't look like a child of the Gu family." Someone said.

There were also guests who looked at Gu Xueying carefully and said, "Gu Xueying looks familiar. She seems to be very similar to someone, but I just can't remember who she is at the moment."

Gu Xueying's heart was pounding. She didn't even dare to continue listening, for fear that someone would dig out her background.

Xu Youyou admired Gu Xueying's panic and said, "Miss Gu, why are you so flustered? Are you really not the biological daughter of the Gu family?"

Gu Xueying's face was pale.

A noble lady beside her clapped her hands and said, "Could it be that they are not twins, but the real daughter and the fake daughter? Just like in the TV series, the two children were switched?"

Gu Xueying's nightmare suddenly came true, and she was almost frightened to the point of falling down.

The guests present saw her reaction and vaguely felt that it might be true. When they thought of this possibility, everyone looked at the Gu family with strange eyes.

If it was really their biological daughter who was switched, then the nature of the matter would change completely. They looked at Gu Xueying as if they were looking at a thief.

Gu Xueying wanted to shrink her body and hide in a corner.

Xu Youyou had enough of her panic and said, "Whether she's a real daughter or a fake one, I'm just an orphan with no parents. No matter how rich the Gu family is, it has nothing to do with me."

Mrs. Gu was unhappy when she heard this. She couldn't help but accuse him, "You are pretending to be noble in front of Mr. Lu. Didn't you say before that we should give you all the Gu family's property?"

Mrs. Gu wished that everyone present would know Xu Youyou's true identity.

Xu Youyou's words were decisive: "Is Madam Gu really going to give it to me?"
