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

Mrs. Gu didn't dare to respond.

Xu Youyou continued, "If you're not sincere, don't bother me, or I'll suspect you're coveting my property."

Madam Gu snorted coldly and said, "How much money can you, an orphan, have?"

Cen Mingzhu suddenly appeared and said, "Mrs. Gu, Miss Xu is my big client. I'm counting on her to make a fortune."

Mrs. Gu knew Cen Mingzhu, and she had even thought about making her her eldest daughter-in-law. In her opinion, the Cen family was the best in-laws. They only had one daughter, but a huge family business. Once Cen Mingzhu married Gu Fengchuan, the Cen jewelry company would belong to the Gu family in the future.

Xu Youyou continued, "Madam Gu, please don't worry about whether I have the ability to make money. I won't be like some people who make a fortune by scamming people."

Mrs. Gu's face turned pale. She hadn't thought about her past for many years. When she suddenly heard these words, she couldn't help but wonder if Xu Youyou knew her past?

Xu Youyou stopped talking without hesitation. The three members of the Gu family had all been embarrassed today, and Xu Youyou had already thought about leaving.

But Lu Jingyao did not forget his original intention and said to Gu Jianming, "Whether she is his biological daughter or a fake daughter, if he offended a lady, he should apologize. A company led by a leader who is irresponsible is probably not a good partner for cooperation."

Lu Jingyao's words immediately attracted the approval of the guests present.

Gu Jianming's guilt was completely proven, and all his excuses seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.

Even if he admitted now whether the daughter was real or fake, it would only add another charge to the Gu family.

Gu Jianming lived in poverty and destitution in the first half of his life, but prospered in the second half. He couldn't remember the last time he was in such a miserable state.

Many of the guests present were potential partners, and his rivals were eyeing his business covetously. Apologizing might not necessarily bring him any benefit, but not apologizing would definitely bring him harm.

"sorry."

Gu Jianming felt that these three words were of great weight.

Xu Youyou stared at him and said, "I didn't hear clearly."

This was not a very graceful move, and everyone present was smart enough to see that Xu Youyou was deliberately making trouble for Gu Jianming.

"Xu Youyou, don't go too far!" Mrs. Gu was eager to protect her husband and blamed Xu Youyou.

Xu Youyou waved her hand and said, "Since the Gu family is not sincere, then forget it."

Gu Jianming stopped his wife and raised his voice: "I'm sorry."

Xu Youyou nodded casually, ignoring the three people from the Gu family, turned around and said to Lu Jingyao with a smile: "I want to go home."

Lu Jingyao felt that Xu Youyou's smile seemed particularly complicated, mixed with many vicissitudes of life that he could not understand.

"it is good."

Lu Jingyao stood up and said goodbye to Lu Zeyuan.

Lu Zeyuan's face was full of fatigue at this time. It was such a nice birthday party, but until now no one cared about his old man's birthday. Everyone was staring at the gossip about the Gu family. It seemed that the birthday was over before the celebration even started.

As soon as Lu Jingyao got in the car, the driver told him about the trunk.

Xu Youyou said with a look of annoyance on her face: "I'm sorry, I took the initiative to have someone move my things to the trunk of your car, and I forgot to tell you."

How could Lu Jingyao get angry over such a small matter? He said, "You can use my car if you want. There's no need to be so polite."

Xu Youyou forced a smile. Although she said in her heart that she didn't care, the faces of the Gu couple kept appearing in her mind after she got in the car.

They were younger than she remembered.

"Are you still thinking about the Gu family?" Lu Jingyao asked.

Xu Youyou was caught off guard and nodded directly.

Lu Jingyao thought for a moment and asked, "Were you and that Miss Gu really switched?"

"Did you figure it out? Will you think I'm unfilial and wrongly accuse my biological father?" Xu Youyou smiled bitterly.

Lu Jingyao said, "I haven't experienced what you've experienced, and I'm not qualified to judge your behavior, but the you I know is a person who values ​​friendship and principles. I believe you must have your own reasons for doing this."

Xu Youyou felt warm in her heart.

Lu Jingyao continued, "The parents who deliberately concealed the truth and sacrificed their biological daughter for their adopted daughter show that in their hearts, the adopted daughter is more important than their biological daughter. It's only natural that you don't want to recognize them."

This is what makes Xu Youyou most sad. She has many grievances in her heart. Why was her life switched? In the end, not only did she not get any compensation, but they also felt that she was not worthy of compensation and wanted to take away everything she had.

"Don't think too much. Have a good sleep when you go back and you will forget all these things." Lu Jingyao comforted.

Xu Youyou forced a smile on her face.

After the car entered Tomson Yipin, Assistant Liu and the driver moved the contents of the trunk out, which was a dirty old blanket.

No one present could understand why Xu Youyou brought this thing back.

Lu Jingyao didn't understand but respected her, saying, "I'll ask Assistant Liu to find you a professional carpet cleaning company. They guarantee that this carpet will be cleaned thoroughly."

Xu Youyou shook her head: "This blanket doesn't need to be washed."

Lu Jingyao's face was full of confusion.

Perhaps because Lu Jingyao had been helping her tonight, Xu Youyou rarely took the initiative to speak: "Would you like to stay for a cup of tea?"

Lu Jingyao agreed immediately and sent Assistant Liu and the driver away. He already had a house in Tomson Yipin anyway, so he didn't need a car for the time being.

The dirty blanket was placed at the entrance of Xu Youyou's house. The housekeeper, Sister Zhang, came over to deal with it, but was stopped by Xu Youyou.

"Sister Zhang, please bring the toolbox here." Xu Youyou ordered.

Although Sister Zhang didn't understand why, she still sent the things over.

Xu Youyou went into the house, changed out of her dress, and put on a set of sportswear that was convenient for movement. She also asked all the servants in the house to leave, leaving only her and Lu Jingyao at the entrance.

Although she bought the blanket in the shortest possible time, she had never looked at it carefully.

The blanket was not particularly large, it was rectangular, probably a bit larger than a mahjong machine, one side was covered with some kind of animal skin, and the other side was covered with animal hair.

The furry side was pitch black, and I didn't know how much dirt was hidden in it. I couldn't tell what color it was originally.

"This is not a carpet, it was originally a tapestry. Tapestries were popular in the Qing Dynasty court for a while. About twenty years ago, many wealthy people in Shanghai wanted to buy court tapestries. I remember Lu Shaoyan's grandmother also bought one." Lu Jingyao said.

Xu Youyou was surprised: "You remember everything that happened twenty years ago so clearly?"

"I started to remember things when I was two years old," Lu Jingyao explained.

Xu Youyou was even more impressed. She had never thought that this man was such a super brain. She asked, "Is this tapestry of the Lu family really from the palace?"

Lu Jingyao shook his head: "I don't know. At that time, I only heard people say that Madam Lu seemed to have been deceived."

Xu Youyou was thoughtful. "No wonder the tapestry has become so dirty. I heard from the Lu family's servants that this carpet was originally used as a footrest under the mahjong machine. It turns out that Madam Lu was angry and embarrassed."

As Xu Youyou spoke, she took out a pair of large scissors from the toolbox.

The system's instructions will not be false. This blanket must be valuable. However, a dirty blanket, even if it is passed down from an old dynasty, will not be worth much. The truly valuable things should be hidden inside the blanket.

Lu Jingyao wanted to help, but Xu Youyou took one look at his custom-made suit and said, "Forget it. Don't get your clothes dirty."

She took a pair of scissors and cut along the side. It was very difficult at first, but after a few seconds it suddenly became easy. She didn't even need a pair of scissors. Xu Youyou reached out and tore the blanket open.

The contents inside also saw the light of day at this moment.
