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

Chapter 41 Part 1 一 Ruan Yōu’s Bunny Doll.

“Are you sure you want to build a pyramid with gold?”

The store manager gestured a regular triangle in the air, incredulously confirming once again.

Having worked in the gold shop for so long, she had served countless customers. She had encountered many wealthy bosses who bought several sets of gold jewelry at once, but in front of Ruan Yōu, they all seemed “stingy” beyond belief.

This young lady was building a pyramid, a golden pyramid!

The concept of money collapsed for the first time. Could wealthy people really do whatever they wanted?

Indeed.

Money truly had the power to make anything possible.

“I need you to speed up the construction and deliver it to me as soon as possible.”

“Yes, yes, we will immediately arrange our technicians to start customizing it for you.”

As they left the gold shop, Wei Wen couldn’t help but whisper, “Your father will definitely love this gift.”

Gu Youqian 一 an avid gold enthusiast.

If he knew that his precious daughter had given him a gold pyramid, he would have been ecstatic.

Ruan Yōu thought of something and said, “You mentioned before that Dad really likes that supercar with a pure gold exterior, right?”

“Yes, it’s the Bugatti Veyron. However, Mrs. Ruan said the car is too flashy and doesn’t allow Mr. Gu to drive it.”

Ruan Yōu looked heartbroken.

Gu Fuchen usually travels in a business car 一 black, mysterious, low-key, and simple. He would never drive a supercar for transportation, and his father doesn’t have the “privilege” to drive it. In this way, the golden sports car should have been kept in the garage as a mascot since it was purchased.

It was another day of heartache for the supercar.

“Their plane arrives the day after tomorrow at noon. Let’s pick them up with the supercar,” Ruan Yōu suggested.

She had wanted to drive the supercar for a long time, but she had never had the opportunity.

In the past, whenever she went out, it was either with Lu Ming or she would take small classes and go shopping, or Gu Fuchen would drive. She had fewer chances to drive herself.

Dad and Mom will be back the day after tomorrow. She will definitely go to the airport with Gu Fuchen, driving Dad’s favorite sports car. Happy, you, me, and him~

Wei Wen immediately jotted down this matter in her portable notebook.

“Tomorrow afternoon, we will pick up Mr. Gu and Mrs. Ruan. The day after tomorrow, we have to attend Elder Qi’s birthday banquet. The investment seminar scheduled for the day after tomorrow was originally supposed to be conducted by Yang Er, but he can’t make it due to personal reasons. He recommended his friend, Zhu Chiyang, as the substitute speaker. Here are the basic information of the speaker, take a look.” Inside the car, Wei Wen handed a A4-sized document to Ruan Yōu in the back seat.

Ruan Yōu hadn’t recovered yet.

“Zhu Chiyang?”

. . . . .

Sheng Bei read the message from Zhu Chiyang the next morning at 10:30 a.m.

Sheng Bei seemed to have just woken up.

Fifteen years ago, the Sheng family made a lot of money through business, transforming from a small-town individual business into an entrepreneurial venture. The Sheng family is now well-off, and Sheng Bei, who is doted on by the entire family, naturally became everyone’s favorite.

【Zhu Yōu? who is she?】

Zhu Chiyang stood there, hesitating to close his phone without replying.

After a while, Sheng Bei sent several messages in a row.

【I asked my mom. Before you came back, the little girl adopted by the Zhu family, right?】

【Wasn’t she sent back to the orphanage? Why bring her up?】

【My mom said she had a bad temperament since childhood, so it was only a matter of time before she was sent back.】

. . . . .

Regarding the events from sixteen years ago, Sheng Bei didn’t have a strong memory of them. Everything about Ruan Yōu was learned from his mother’s words, and she had completely forgotten about her competing with his brother Sheng Shu for the Ruan Yōu rabbit doll.

This particular memory had left a deep impression on Zhu Chiyang.

【Do you still remember the little rabbit doll on the school bag?】, Zhu Chiyang asked.

After a while, Sheng Bei replied:【The one on the elementary school bag? I remember. I even kept it during middle school. I don’t know who gave it to me, but it was quite cute. I still have it now; it’s considered an antique in our family.】

Zhu Chiyang wanted to explain, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.

He knows that Ruan Yōu is the true victim in this matter, but even so, after growing up with Sheng Bei for more than ten years, he naturally leans towards her.

Even if Sheng Bei did something wrong, Zhu Chiyang would subconsciously forgive her.

Besides, he also bears responsibility for what happened over a decade ago.

Ruan Yōu cried and asked him why he didn’t snatch her bunny doll from Sheng Shu’s hands. At that time, he had just been taken back home from the traffickers and was not familiar with his parents. The Zhu Family always relied on the Sheng Family for everything, so he didn’t dare to resist.

Even when Sheng’s father and mother bullied Ruan Yōu, forcing her to apologize to Sheng Bei, Zhu Chiyang didn’t dare to speak up or reveal the truth.

Or perhaps everyone knew the truth, but they took advantage of Ruan Yōu’s lack of protection and deliberately bullied her.

Now that Ruan Yōu has become Ruan Yōu of the Gu family, the eldest daughter of the Gu Family, he must make Sheng Bei apologize no matter what.

Children make mistakes, and a small incident of fighting over a doll should not cause any major problems.

Zhu Chiyang washed his face, keeping the fact that Ruan Yōu is the Gu family’s eldest daughter to himself. He planned to find a time to talk to Sheng Bei and apologize together for what happened in their childhood.

Before apologizing, I need to make an appointment with Ruan Yōu.

The only opportunity to meet Ruan Yōu now is the small class three days later.

The phone in the coat kept vibrating, and it was a message from Yang Er.

【Did you reveal Ruan Yōu’s identity to the outside world?】

【No.】

A confidential document seems simple, but the top wealthy families tirelessly ask the speaker to sign it, indicating that they consider this matter important.

Zhu Chiyang just returned to the country and dare not go against the wishes of the top families.

【Now, the Gu family refuses your participation in the investment class and does not want to see you in the country anymore.】

【Furthermore, the Gu family emphasized one point: Gu family’s Miss Ruan Yōu has rejected you.】

【When did you offend her?】

【She seemed lively and easy to talk to. Not to say it’s your fault, but if you angered her, it must be your own fault. I’ve never seen her lose her temper with anyone.】

【Think back carefully and try to remember.】

Zhu Chiyang was in a panic.

He lit a cigarette on the balcony, and in his mind, all he could see was little Zhu Yōu running up to him, pointing at the rabbit doll in Sheng Shu’s hands and asking, “Can you help me snatch it back?”

“I can’t beat him,” she cried.

At that time, Zhu Chiyang was just as anxious as he is now.

He didn’t have the courage to oppose Sheng Shu, so he stuttered and replied to little Zhu Yōu, “You have to figure it out yourself,” and then hurriedly left in a panic.

Zhu Chiyang followed his parents’ wishes, studied hard, went abroad, and started dating Sheng Bei. His life had been planned since he was brought back to the Zhu family. He didn’t want to resist, nor did he dare to.

Over time, he developed a habit of asking others for advice when faced with problems.

He wanted to call Mother Zhu and ask for her opinion, but the confidentiality agreement blocked his way, so he didn’t dare to make the call.

Half a year ago, a speaker at an economic forum revealed information about Gu Fuchen. Later, that person suffered greatly and no company dared to hire him. He had no choice but to work for a small company abroad.

Although the salary of the small class was generous and beneficial for career development, the risks and responsibilities were equally heavy.

Zhu Chiyang didn’t understand why Ruan Yōu would still hold onto something that happened sixteen years ago.

In his hesitation, he received two unfamiliar text messages on his phone.

High and mighty posture, disdainful attitude.

【I am Gu Fuchen.】

【Meet me in person, time to be determined.】

Without asking for Zhu Chiyang’s opinion, this conversation has already been set.

Gu Fuchen said the time is to be determined not because he is busy, but because he doesn’t know Ruan Yōu’s thoughts.

He is currently in a dilemma.

If Ruan Yōu despises someone so much, it indicates that the previous relationship between Zhu Chiyang and Ruan Yōu was unpleasant; he should quickly resolve it. On the one hand, he is concerned about Ruan Yōu’s thoughts and doesn’t dare to meet the other person casually.

He had been waiting for Ruan Yōu to bring up the past, and Ruan Yōu did indeed tell him a lot.

From roadside stalls, amusement parks, roller coasters, to everything about Aunt Zhou Zhi from the elderly care community, only beautiful memories were mentioned, and there was no mention of any sad moments.

Gu Fuchen had always thought that he shouldn’t push Ruan Yōu and that he should wait for his sister to gradually accept the present and reconcile with the past. When she turns back, she will find that he and their parents have always been by her side.

But who doesn’t have a secret?

He didn’t tell Ruan Yōu his secret either.

. . . . .

Dining Room

When Ruan Yōu came down, she behaved as usual and took the initiative to speak after seeing him.

“I don’t agree with Zhu Chiyang being the keynote speaker.”

Gu Fuchen was taken aback and then said: “I heard about this.”

It has always been the Lu family’s responsibility to deal with matters related to small class.

This trivial matter doesn’t need to be reported, but it was the first time the small class assistant heard Ruan Yōu’s command, and it was such a strong command that he had to confirm it with Gu Fuchen.

Gu Fuchen doesn’t care whether others live or die, or whether their careers are good or bad. To put it bluntly, he only cares about Ruan Yōu’s thoughts.

Ruan Yōu took a sip of chicken soup, feeling warm in her stomach.

After Gu Fuchen finished speaking, he stared at her without moving, wanting to continue asking but afraid that she would be upset and swallow his words.

This reminded Ruan Yōu of every time Lu Ming talked to her about something, she would reveal only half of it and keep the other half a secret, making her anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

Ruan Yōu had never actively mentioned her past experiences. Part of the reason was that she felt it was overly sentimental to talk about these things with her brother. She didn’t want to bring up the past, but she wanted to share her grievances with her family.

Everyone has their own grievances, and she has hers.

When she was young, she was bullied by Shen Bei and Sheng Shu. She would cry, shout, and run to Zhu Chiyang to complain, hoping he could help, but he ignored her.

The saying “crying children get candy” doesn’t apply to her. As an unliked child, even if she complained about being wronged, no one would listen.

Now, someone wants to hear her grievances.

She never told Lu Ming, never told the foster mother of the second family, and never told Lu Ming’s mother. All these years, she has kept it bottled up inside.

“I have been adopted by two families, and Zhu Chiyang is the older brother of the first family.”

Ruan Yōu lowered her head and stared at the chicken soup in her bowl.

“The foster mother adopted me just because Zhu Chiyang got lost at the time, and they wanted to adopt another child. There were no boys in the orphanage, and I was the best-looking at the time, so they adopted me.”

“At first, they treated me well.”

That’s also why Ruan Yōu never caused trouble for them.

“But later, when the human traffickers were caught and Zhu Chiyang was found, they doted on their own son and paid little attention to me.”

Ruan Yōu propped up her chin with her hand, her voice distant: “On my birthday that year, I pestered them for a long time and they bought me a rabbit doll. It could be hung on a backpack, and it was the size of a palm. The neighbor next door, Sheng Bei, everyone liked her. She wanted to snatch my doll, but I didn’t let her. Later, she called her brother, Sheng Shu, for help.”

Gu Fuchen frowned.

“After the doll was taken away, I went to complain to Zhu Chiyang. He was timid and didn’t dare to confront Sheng Shu. Later, my foster parents criticized me in front of Sheng Bei’s parents.” Ruan Yōu paused, still feeling indignant. “But I didn’t do anything wrong. Why did they take my doll away?”

Gu Fuchen touched Ruan Yōu’s head and whispered, “They were the ones who were wrong.”

And me.

It’s all because he wasn’t there at that time.

It’s all because he wanted to set up a game of hide and seek.

Sheng Shu is a fart.

The Sheng family is another fart.

In the end, Ruan Yōu couldn’t hide her grievances. Her eyes turned slightly red, and she complained a little, saying, “Because of this, they used it as an excuse to send me back to the orphanage.”

She knew that ever since Zhu Chiyang came back, FAther Zhu and Mother Zhu had wanted to send her back to the orphanage for a long time. She understood and knew that one day she would have to go back, but they gave her this reason.

This is also something that Ruan Yōu has not been able to let go of until now.
