Group Pet Eldest Lady, She Just Wants To Be A Salted Fish

Chapter 22 – When the successors of the two top wealthy families become fans of the same celebrity.

In terms of changing facial expressions, no one is faster than Lu Jin.

After Lu Jin finished speaking, he looked at Gu Fuchen with a serious face as if what he had said was a very logical and extremely normal thing.

He naturally stood up, and his slightly trembling hands betrayed his restrained excitement.

Gu Fuchen couldn’t be bothered to deal with him.

As he stood up and was about to take his coat from the hanger, Lu Jin stepped forward first and earnestly took Gu Fuchen’s coat. With Gu Fuchen’s gaze on him, Lu Jin smiled and helped Gu Fuchen put on his coat, even patting the nonexistent dust off his shoulder as if it were a serious matter.

“Brother, about what we talked about last time…”

“Get lost.”

“No rush, we’ll talk next time.”

Marrying to Gu family, well, it’s not impossible!

Gu Fuchen didn’t want to deal with him, and after giving Lu Jin a cold look, he quickly left.

Tonight, Lu Jin was undoubtedly the happiest among everyone.

After returning home, Lu Jin’s parents were sitting in the living room watching TV. The program playing was the variety show that was popular some time ago called <Heirs>.

Lu Xuan, who had just returned home a few days ago, was accompanying Father and Mother Lu to watch the show.

Lu Jin restrained his excitement and sat down. He voluntarily served tea to his father, brought strawberries to his sister, and took coffee from the housekeeper to give to his mother. He was busy like a tiger eating its meal, but still, everyone just glanced at him.

Lu Jin couldn’t resist looking at the TV show and asked nonchalantly, “Mom, the daughter of the Gu family has been found, right?”

Mother Lu immediately looked at him and asked, “Did you meet her?”

Father Lu sipped his tea calmly, but his eyes flickered with curiosity. “Is she a good girl?”

Lu Jin raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, “Didn’t Uncle Gu and Aunt Ruan tell you?”

The two families were both top wealthy families and had a very good relationship.

Father Lu scoffed, “That old rogue Gu Youqian was afraid that we would see his precious daughter first, so he kept the information hidden from us.”

Since they couldn’t meet her yet, they wouldn’t let others meet her. That was the decision of the Gu family’s parents.

Several friends thought it was ridiculous, but as a daughter slave, there was nothing that Gu Youqian couldn’t do. After the youngest daughter of the Gu family returned home a few days ago to, the families of the Lu, Fu, Jiang, and Qi all wanted to visit the little princess of their childhood memories, but they all restrained themselves.

They didn’t even send any gifts for fear Gu Youqian would lose his temper when he came back.

It’s not that they were afraid of the Gu family, but they wanted to give their friend Gu Youqian face as he had just had surgery and was still in the recovery period.

Mother Lu : “Don’t listen to your dad’s complaints, tell me, did you meet her?”

Lu Jin hesitated : “Not really.”

Father Lu : “Don’t say it, if you tell us, your Uncle Gu might get jealous.”

Gu Youqian couldn’t control the younger generation and didn’t want to lose face by getting angry in front of them, but he could still become very angry with Father and Mother Lu.

Lu Jin knew he had to keep it a secret, so he suppressed his excitement and didn’t say anything. However, for a while, none of the four members of the Lu family could concentrate on the TV.

Father and Mother Lu’s eyes were no longer focused on the TV show, and they lost interest in it.

The story of these six people was not as interesting as listening to Gu’s daughter’s story.

Lu Jin couldn’t help but speak up, “Mom, is that thing you’re talking about still valid?”

“What?”

“Marrying in, you always talk about me marrying into the Gu family in the future.”

Both Father Lu and Mother Lu turned their heads and repeated in a stunned voice, “Marrying in? What are you thinking?”

Lu Jin spoke seriously, with the attitude of an experienced person, “There are many son-in-laws who have married into their wives’ families now. Dad, Mom, your thinking should not be outdated.”

Father Lu let out a light scoff.

Mother Lu’s eyebrows twisted slightly, and faint crow’s feet appeared at the corners of her eyes, highlighting her outstanding temperament, “Lu Jin, what are you thinking?”

“Hmm?”

Hasn’t he said everything he’s thinking?

“Marrying in?” Mother Lu spoke softly, but her words were powerful, “Is marrying into the family something you can decide on your own? Have you even considered whether the Gu family is willing or not?”

The implication was:

You don’t even have the qualifications to marry into their family.

Lu Jin : ” ? “

The two of them didn’t give him face at all.

Lu Jin didn’t want to deal with them and angrily left.

Tomorrow is Monday. After quickly finishing his official business, he would go find Gu Fuchen and hitch a ride in his car to chase the star at Gu’s mansion.

For their first meeting, he must pick out an outfit that matched his good looks.

While Lu Jin was picking out clothes in the closet, Lu Xuan knocked on the door twice and walked in without waiting for Lu Jin to respond.

“Brother!”

Liu Jin’s hand trembled, knowing that something was not right.

“Give me your card.”

“If you need to buy anything, let the housekeeper prepare it for you.”

Liu Xuan pulled on his clothes and coquettishly said, “Brother, my only brother, I really need the card.”

Previously, she was determined to take the “independent path of doing her own business without relying on her parents and brother.”

When she told the inital user that “whatever amount of money is fine,” she felt that the user’s attitude had softened recently. With the desire to cooperate with the initial user, Lu Xuan planned to show sincerity to the initial user by putting up capital.

But where would the capital come from?

She had just graduated and had been spoiled by her parents her whole life. She had never worried about money or the family business. After graduation, she turned down the offer to work in the company and opened an art gallery for her ex-boyfriend, only to suffer losses and be treated as a naïve and easy mark for money.

Lu Xuan found out that her ex-boyfriend was cheating on her, which made her so angry that she cried. She’s rich and beautiful, so why is it so difficult to find a sincere and loving little milk dog1 who is attentive and loyal to her? Her plan to raise a little milk dog at home was ruined as her parents froze her cards when she ran away from home. Unable to stay outside, she finally returned home in a pitiful manner.

After being back for half a month, she went out every day to socialize, shop, and heal her broken heart.

Meeting the initial user on the forum was a turning point in her dreary life.

“Brother, I want to start a business,” Lu Xuan said hesitantly with her head down.

She had any money at this stage, but she wanted to partner with the initial user, so she could only borrow some money from her brother, promising to pay him back when she earned some money. This was the only way she could start without relying on her family.

Lu Jin : “It’s a good thing.”

As long as you don’t get cheated by a scumbag again.

“Are you going to start a business alone or collaborate with someone? Do you have a specific direction or a project proposal?” Seeing Lu Xuan’s increasingly lowered head, Lu Jin sighed lightly and said, ‘It’s okay if you don’t have anything yet. Just tell me which direction you’re interested in, and I’ll have my assistant find a couple of people to help you.”

He needed to give Lu Xuan something to do so that she wouldn’t pursue her absurd plan of raising a little milk dog.

Lu Xuan whispered in defense, “I already have a partner.”

Lu Jin was afraid that it was another pretty boy who relied on his face to make a living, so he hurriedly asked, “Who?”

Lu Xuan : “It’s a girl.”

She knew that the initial user wanted to keep a low profile and didn’t want to reveal their identity, but she couldn’t avoid being questioned by Lu Jin, so she blurred it out. She grabbed Lu Jin’s clothes and continued to act coquettishly, “Brother, give me 100 million, just 100 million!”

Lu Jin held his brown windbreaker in his hand, and the black and white pinstriped shirt underneath was crumpled by Lu Xuan’s rubbing. He lowered his head and glanced at the wrinkled spot.

Lu Xuan chuckled and awkwardly withdrew her hand, shaking it in the air, and said persistently, “When I make money, I’ll be your patron for star chasing.”

Lu Jin frowned. “So your partner isn’t a pretty boy?”

“Lemme correct you, not a pretty boy, but a little milk dog! A little milk dog!” retorted Lu Xuan.

A faithless jerk of a little milk dog.

But she firmly believed that she would find someone cuter in the future!

Lu Jin glanced at her and took out a check while saying, “I’ll trust you this time. If the other party is a pretty boy, don’t call me brother in the future.”

Lu Xuan received the check, bouncing and ready to leave. But just before she stepped out, Lu Jin called out to her.

“Lu Xuan.”

Lu Xuan turned around, her face beaming. “What’s up, my god of wealth brother?”

Lu Jin gestured to the two sets of clothes in his hands. “Which one do you think looks better?”

“Are you meeting someone important tomorrow?”

“Yeah.”

“The gray coat on the left. It looks mature and stable and will slay the whole audience!”

Lu Xuan thought that Lu Jin thought the person he saw was a big shot in the business world, so she firmly chose this one.

Lu Jin also liked this one. Moreover, before, Gu Fu Chen had said that his sister liked the overlord type.

Lu Jin was not a boyfriend fan, but he couldn’t help but feel excited when he’s going to meet his idol. His intention to marry into the Gu family was purely because he could see his idol more often with this identity.

In the future, going to Gu’s family would be more justified, but he didn’t really have the idea of getting married.

“Is there anything else? If not, I’ll go now.”

“I have a very important question to ask you.”

“What is it, Brother?” Lu Xuan, who received the money, was very willing to talk, and even if there were ten more questions, she had the patience to answer.

Lu Jin pondered for a moment, and his expression became more and more serious.

Lu Xuan was infected by the serious atmosphere, so she clenched her hands with a serious expression and waited cautiously for her brother’s question.

“Do you think…”

Lu Xuan perked up her ears, focused intently, and fixed her gaze on Lu Jin. “Mm-hmm, do I think…?”

“I really don’t have the qualifications to marry into the Gu family?”

Lu Xuan : …

“You do.”
“You’re the most suitable person to marry into their family.”

This sincerity was very touching.

Lu Jin was satisfied and waved his hand to give Lu Xuan another 20 million yuan.

Lu Xuan’s good impression of the little Miss Gu, whom she had never met, skyrocketed. That night, she changed Lu Jin’s WeChat nickname to “The God of Wealth Attempting to Marry Into Gu family.”

The next day, at the Gu family’s residence.

Ruan Yōu followed the plan and flew to City C to eat spicy hot pot. In early winter, nothing was more joyful than having a hot and steaming hot pot.

The round trip took several hours, and it was already 8 o’clock when she happily finished the hot pot.

Gu Fuchen had already gone home, and Lu Jin, who wanted to go back with him, was driven away.

Seventh floor.

Hearing that Ruan Yōu is back, Gu Fuchen went up to the seventh floor and personally handed her the invitation box sent by the Qi family. “The Economic Conference starts at 1 pm in the afternoon and ends at 7 pm in the evening. There will be a small banquet after the event. If you want to go, let Gu Zexi take you.”

Ruan Yōu received the invitation box with both hands and looked at it closely.

The box was very exquisite, with the word “Qi” printed in dark patterns on the lid.

When she opened the box, she saw not only the invitation card, but also a pen with the English abbreviation of the Qi Group printed on it.

The invitation card was all in black, with a calm and mysterious tone. There was a pattern of auspicious clouds on the front, and when the card was turned in the light, the pattern seemed to float and sink like the waves of the sea, indicating the unpredictable changes in the financial industry.

Ruan Yōu opened the invitation card and saw a few short lines written in gold.

It was indicating the location, time, and lounge number of the event.

The invitee was signed as “Ruanruan” in cursive, with bold and unrestrained strokes.

“Did Miss Qi write this?”

Ruan Yōu still couldn’t remember the name of the Qi family’s successor.

Gu Fuchen bent down to take a look.

“Yes.”

Generally speaking, Qi Zhiyan wouldn’t bother with small matters like the Economic Conference. But when Gu Fuchen suddenly requested an extra spot, the organizer from Qi Group noticed something and proactively asked for Qi Zhiyan’s instruction.

Qi Zhiyan personally extended the invitation, showing her sincerity.

Gu Fuchen glanced at the time, “I’ll take you there tomorrow, rest for now.”

Ruan Yōu blinked her almond-shaped eyes and asked with a tilt of her head, “Tomorrow’s Tuesday, aren’t you going to the company~?”

What happened to your professionalism, Mr. Overlord?

“There’s nothing urgent in the morning.”

Ruan Yōu lowered her head, her hands twisted into a knot.

Brother Overlord not only learned to skip work, but also became more proficient in being late and leaving early.

As a person who has gone through it before, Ruan Yōu has a lot of experience in this matter.

This kind of thing should not be started. Once it starts, life will be like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins, with ambition running wild and impossible to bring back even with the strength of 80 horses.

While Gu Fuchen still has awareness as a Juan King2, Ruan Yōu will do whatever it takes to suppot him.

It’s only 8 o’clock now.

Ruan Yōu looked up and stared at him with a burning gaze. “It’s still early. Let’s watch a movie.”

Then she dragged Gu Fuchen to the private cinema at home and watched a motivational movie which was the favorite of Juan Kings titled <Dog Blood Life>.

<Dog Blood Life> tells the story of a true young master who was abandoned when he was a child. He returned to his wealthy family when he was grown up. Faced with a group of threatening people, he gradually climbed from the bottom to become the highest heir.

She deliberately chose this dog-eat-dog movie to remind her brother, Gu Fuchen, that although she signed an agreement to refuse assets, it doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have the ability to fight for inheritance!

He must roll up his sleeves!

He must work hard, or else there is always the danger of her taking his place.

As the saying goes, “be prepared for danger in times of peace.”

Now that her brother has resolved his internal troubles, she must create some conflicts to stimulate him.
