The real heiress's disguise has been exposed, making her the most beloved member of Beijing

At this point, Zhang Susu changed the subject and asked, "So what did Third Sister want to talk to my Youli about last night?"

Jiang Li raised the corners of her eyes slightly, her gaze revealing arrogance, and said, "It's nothing important. I just wanted to congratulate you on your newly adopted daughter's marriage to the eldest son of the Qi family tomorrow."

As she spoke, she glanced at Jiang Youli sideways, her eyes shifting from arrogance to dissatisfaction. "We'll send the wedding gift tomorrow at the engagement banquet. The main reason I came today is to meet our Jiang family's legendary true daughter, who shone brightly at the welcoming banquet."

At this moment, Jiang Youli said sarcastically in a calm tone, "Since you're so curious about me, why didn't Third Aunt come to see me at the welcome banquet?"

Jiang Li was clearly not expected that she would ask so directly, and was speechless for a moment. After a while, she retorted with dissatisfaction: "Of course it's because I don't have time, just like you had time to mess around with that little broken herb garden last night but didn't have time to come see me."

Jiang Youli simply responded with an "Oh" and then said, "It doesn't matter. Whether you come or not is irrelevant to me."

Upon hearing her nonchalant words, Jiang Li's face immediately turned pale with anger, and she scolded, "Second brother and sister-in-law are right, you really have no manners at all."

Seeing that Jiang Li finally couldn't help but scold You Li, Zhang Susu's expression changed, and she said coldly, "Third sister, if your purpose in coming here today is also to find fault with You Li like second brother and second aunt, then you are not welcome here!"

Jiang Li dropped the pretense and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm really not here to congratulate you, but to warn this little brat! Don't think that just because you're the real daughter of the Jiang family, you can do whatever you want and be arrogant!"

"I heard that after she came back, she caused a huge uproar in our Jiang family. Jiang Zhao is still in the hospital, Jiang Xing has a limp, and Yonghe is being ridiculed by outsiders for being a talented woman in Beijing but having no real reputation."

“I heard that Dad is going to hand over Starlight Entertainment to her next month, and then hand over the family pharmaceutical company to my eldest brother in six months, all because your daughter said that she can cooperate with the Zhou family in the future. But I just don’t believe it. My husband knows people in the Zhou family, but he has never heard of such a cooperation. How dare she, a little girl, guarantee that she can cooperate with the Zhou family in the future? She’s just talking nonsense!”

Jiang Youli shrugged and said, "Then it's probably because the Zhou family members your husband knows aren't authoritative enough. Otherwise, Second Uncle wouldn't have failed to establish a connection with the Zhou family for so long. Could it be that Third Aunt, your husband just knows some steward or servant in the Zhou family and calls himself an acquaintance of the Zhou family?"

Seeing her mocking her husband like that, Jiang Li's face turned cold. "How dare you! Watch your tone!"

Jiang Youli chuckled and reminded her, "Third Aunt, this is my house, okay? If anyone's being presumptuous and lacking manners, it's you."

"Your home?" Jiang Li sneered, "This entire Jiang family now belongs to the old man. Who knows, one day he might kick you out of this luxurious villa! At that time, you'll probably have to live on the streets again, just like before, living a life of hardship and uncertainty!"

Faced with Jiang Li's sarcastic words, Jiang Youli seemed unconcerned. With a calm smile on her face, she replied in an easy tone, "It's alright. It's just a villa. What's so great about it? I own 30% of Starlight Entertainment and 10% of a pharmaceutical company. Aren't those more valuable than this villa in the East District?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li, who had been looking arrogant, suddenly changed her expression, her eyes filled with astonishment. She exclaimed, "What did you say?"

Jiang Youli blinked and said calmly, "Why is Aunt so surprised? Didn't Uncle and Aunt tell you that I hold shares in the company?"

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Jiang Li stood up angrily, "This is outrageous! I'm going to find the old man and ask him what's wrong with him!"

Just then, a deep and authoritative voice suddenly rang out.

"Jiang Li, what do you want to ask me about?"

Upon hearing that familiar yet frightening voice, Jiang Li's originally high spirits instantly deflated by more than half, like a punctured balloon.

After Grandpa Jiang was helped in by the head housekeeper and sat down on the sofa, Jiang Li, holding back her resentment, asked, "Dad, I heard that you actually gave 10% of our pharmaceutical company's shares and 30% of Starlight Entertainment's shares to your precious granddaughter? Is that really true?"

Grandpa Jiang looked at his daughter expressionlessly. "Do you have any objections?"

Jiang Li jumped up in a panic upon hearing this, "Dad, as your own daughter, I don't own a single share of the family! Now this little brat has only been back in our family for a short time and she's already getting so many shares! How can I possibly accept this? From childhood to adulthood, have I ever done anything to displease you? Why is there such a big difference in treatment? Is it just because she's your newly adopted granddaughter that you're so biased towards her?"

Faced with Jiang Li's barrage of questions and complaints, Old Master Jiang remained unmoved, only coldly retorting, "Jiang Li, just tell me, if I give you shares, what can you do for the Jiang family?"

Jiang Li said incredulously, "Dad, what else do I need to do? Haven't I already tried my best to arrange a marriage with the Long family? The Long family has helped our Jiang family a lot over the years, hasn't it?"

Old Master Jiang sneered and said, "What help did you give? Did you just pretend to invest a few sums of money? What our Jiang family lacks now is connections, not funds! Take the Jiang family's pharmaceutical company for example, it hasn't made any breakthroughs. If the Long family were really willing to lend a hand, why hasn't your second brother been able to cooperate with the Zhou family for so many years? I think you've only been thinking about enjoying your life since you married into the family!"

"Dad, what you said is really harsh. How could I possibly have a say in such an important matter as a company collaboration? But haven't I been trying my best to get my husband's help?" Jiang Li's face was flushed, clearly unconvinced.

Old Master Jiang, however, stared intently at Jiang Li with a stern face and said, “This is the biggest difference between you and Youli! Youli can help our Jiang family and make our Jiang family stronger!”

Jiang Li's anger surged, and she couldn't help but raise her voice to retort, "Dad, I don't believe you, you little brat! If the Zhou family were so easy to cooperate with, my second brother would have already won them over! I came back this time to talk to you about this. My husband got word that Chairman Zhou is returning to Beijing tomorrow. My husband can put in a good word for my second brother to meet with Chairman Zhou to discuss cooperation. Whether it works out or not depends on my second brother's abilities."

At this point, she pointed at Jiang Youli and continued in a contemptuous tone, "My husband is, after all, the second master of the Long family. With him helping to make the connection, the chances of a successful collaboration are much higher than with this girl who just returned to the Jiang family and only knows how to talk big, right?"

Jiang Youli scoffed. Old Zhou was indeed returning to Beijing from Jianshan Town tomorrow, but that was specifically for her engagement banquet, not to agree to the second master of the Long family and discuss any cooperation with Jiang Yangxu.
