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

Ruan Yōu drove this supercar, partly to make his father Gu Youqian happy, and partly to experience the feeling of spending money like water.

After driving it, she discovered一

Indeed, it was different.

Driving around with “golden wheels” gave her the same bold and confident feeling as sticking a 200 million yuan check on her forehead. The car emitted an arrogant aura of “I’m showing off, I’m rich.”

In addition to the pure gold supercar, the butler had arranged another supercar and two luxury cars. The extravagant convoy was driving on the highway, making it hard not to attract attention.

What flowed on the road was not cars, but money, money!!

At the red light, there were many people secretly taking out their phones to take pictures and watch. The owner of the car next to Ruan Yōu rolled down his window and smiled, saying, “Rich person, I haven’t seen this car in Marysue City. Just bought it?”

Ruan Yōu didn’t want to discourage him.

In fact, her father had bought it a long time ago, but her mother didn’t allow her father to drive it.

The feeling of driving a supercar was completely different, with a completely different aura.

As they got closer to the airport, the number of cars decreased, and Ruan Yōu dared to accelerate boldly, speeding along the road. Of course, she kept the speed under the specified limit.

Gu Fuchen suddenly said, “If you like driving supercars, next time we can skip the plane and drive all the way there.”

The feeling of speeding several hundred kilometers on the highway is very comfortable.

Ruan Yōu: “Lu Xuan, Lu Jin, and Jiang Huai said they will make up for the picnic whenever there’s time. In that case, let’s arrange the gathering in Long Aotian City or Jacksue City.”

Gu Fuchen: “Still want to gather?”

“Of course.”

In the later part of the novel’s plot, there were major conflicts between the Lu family, Qi family, Jiang family, and Gu family. The novel didn’t clearly explain it and only mentioned in passing, “The friendship of Jiang Huai, Lu Jin, and Fu Jiazhan with Gu Fuchen for over twenty years shattered.” Afterward, the Jiang family went bankrupt, and the female protagonist Yu Chi acquired the Jiang family, while the male protagonist Cheng Guyuan acquired the Qi family. The Gu family and the Lu family, the two major clans, also didn’t last long. In the meantime, the internal struggle for power and interests within the Gu family continued. By the time they realized it, the other major families had already disappeared from everyone’s sight, as mere background details in the novel.

In the end, Gu Fuchen was left alone, his former friends drifting away one by one, and their friendship shattered. The four major families fell apart, and Qi Zhiyan became the malicious supporting female character in the novel, giving a strong sense of how things have changed.

Ruan Yōu didn’t have deep connections with them but she knew that Jiang Huai, Lu Jin, and Fu Jiazhan were Gu Fuchen’s best friends.

Many plot developments in the novel don’t match reality, but with the help of the plot master, they are likely to happen.

For example, at the beginning, the plot master set the ending for her as her best friend calling her during a livestream, causing her to fall from grace. However, the reality was that it wasn’t Lu Ming who made the call, but someone else.

Regardless of whether the plot is logical or not, the plot master will find ways to push this ending forward.

Now the female protagonist, Yu Chi, takes the initiative to change the main storyline of the novel. She leaves the entertainment circle and returns to the wealthy family to accelerate the plot development. In the novel, the first step Yu Chi takes after returning to the wealthy family is to gain her father’s trust and join the Yu family. She becomes the deputy general manager of the Yu family and manages the company together with her brother. Moreover, she will also gain the favor of Mr. Jiang, and then she will dominate the business circle, eliminate her brother, and become the only legitimate heir of the Yu family. She waits for her father to step down and pass the company to her.

Yu Chi is focused on her career and will not be a docile daughter waiting for her father to step down. After her brother is sent abroad, she becomes more ambitious. She manipulates the top families, including the Qi family, Lu family, Fu family, and Gu family, to varying degrees.

Unlike the direct and repressive methods used by the male protagonist in the novel, Yu Chi is a obedient girl wearing a mask. She appears respectful and manages to manipulate the influential figures of the top families, making them voluntarily disclose information and resources to her.

Even in the novel, when she and the male protagonist broke up due to their careers and the male protagonist’s parents unilaterally proposed a marriage alliance with the Qi family, causing the Cheng family to be blacklisted by the Qi family, Yu Chi’s relationship with the Qi family remains good.

Ruan Yōu attributes this to the halo effect of the protagonist. No matter what the female protagonist does, there are many people who love her.

Having known the plot, Ruan Yōu would never let her brother face a miserable situation of being alone and helpless.

As an inconspicuous cannon fodder character, she cannot change the main plotline. Now that Yu Chi is taking the initiative to speed up, it becomes a question whether the plot master will follow the original path.

The plot is summed up in just a simple sentence, but it is lifeless.

What appears before Ruan Yōu now is a living person.

She wants to make a change.

To change the outcomes of everyone in the novel.

What Ruan Yōu is most concerned about now is not Yu Chi, but:

Since Yu Chi wanted to curry favor with the Qi family as the first step to enter the wealthy circle, why didn’t we see her at the auction abroad?

Is there a problem with the novel?

Or did Yu Chi simply forget about this?

Or perhaps her novel consciousness, along with the female protagonist, is starting to diverge.

Recently, she recalled a new clue about the novel.

The new memory stated that the relationship between the female protagonist, Yu Chi, and Qi Zhiyan was very good. She brought warmth into Qi Zhiyan’s life and became her first close friend, receiving a lot of help from the Qi family. She made Qi Zhiyan firmly believe that the Qi family did not care about her, so Qi Zhiyan had only her as a harbor.

On one hand, she made sure there was only herself by Qi Zhiyan’s side, and on the other hand, she sought favor with the Qi family as “Qi Zhiyan’s best friend.” This doesn’t seem like something a positive female protagonist would do.

Ruan Yōu suspects that this may be the true possibility.

Just like the phone call she received initially in the live broadcast room, it wasn’t from Lu Ming but from Duan Dai.

The novel only briefly wrote a few lines; this is just the tip of the iceberg. Beneath the surface, there are many more causes, consequences, and plot developments. The novel only isolated the plot and descriptions that could highlight and facilitate the protagonist’s smooth development.

The dynamics of the plot are much more complex than she expected.

She needs to find some time to sort it out properly.

Ruan Yōu didn’t think for too long before Gu Fuchen, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, interrupted her thoughts.

“Let’s have a meal together, but this time we need to choose a good day,” he said.

“I definitely can’t give them a chance to bail on me and avoid the fine!” Ruan Yōu said confidently.

After a short while, the car arrived outside the airport.

Ruan Liuyu and Gu Youqian were already waiting there. After completing the hospital discharge procedures in the morning, they specially came to the airport to put on a show.

From a distance, Gu Youqian saw a streak of gold approaching at high speed and couldn’t contain his excitement. “It must be Yōuyōu, and she knows me so well.”

Ruan Liuyu glanced at him sideways, “Be careful with your wound.”

“I know, I know. Stay calm and don’t get too excited. Don’t worry, my wound is healing fast,” Gu Youqian waved his hand nonchalantly, his eyes fixed on the golden supercar approaching in the distance. He squinted his eyes, smiling like a sunflower. “They say daughters are like warm cotton jackets, and it’s absolutely true.”

Ruan Yōu stopped the supercar at the airport, attracting curious gazes from the onlookers. They saw that she was picking up a couple standing on the left side, and envy-filled eyes were cast their way.

一Your child is successful, coming to pick you up in a supercar.

一This is an amazing show of status, so prestigious.

Gu Youqian had never felt so exhilarated before. When he straightened his back, he accidentally pulled on his wound, causing him to grimace and wince in pain.

Ruan Liuyu frowned and whispered, “Be careful.”

Gu Youqian nodded repeatedly, no longer daring to be reckless.

When the car arrived, they hurriedly got on.

However, he still couldn’t get on his favorite pure gold supercar.

The supercar only had two seats, and Gu Fuchen sat on it and refused to get off, which angered Gu Youqian, who scolded him as an unfilial son. Ruan Liuyu was also worried that the supercar was going too fast, so she let him get on the business car.

On the way, the accompanying family doctor examined him.

Helpless, Gu Youqian was squeezed into the business car. On the way back home, he kept looking at the pure gold supercar in front of him, feeling extremely envious.

Ruan Liuyu said, “When you get better, I’ll allow you to drive it twice.”

Gu Youqian quickly put away his bitter expression, folded his hands and rested on the back of the seat, appearing as if he had “seen through the world and focused on health.”

The doctor said this would speed up his recovery.

Ruan Liuyu was helpless.

“Tomorrow is Elder Qi’s birthday. I’ll take Yōuyōu and Chenchen there. You stay at home and rest.”

Gu Youqian had no choice but to nod in agreement.

It is more important to host a banquet for Yōuyōu after he recovers.

. . . . .

Elder Qi’s birthday banquet was held at the main Qi family residence.

Qi Zhiyan, as the person in charge of the Qi family, stood expressionless on the balcony of the second-floor living room while numerous luxury cars were parked outside the iron gate.

Qi Nuo, the young master of the Qi family, secretly observed Qi Zhiyan from a distance while holding a small pastry in his hand.

Their sibling relationship has always been poor.

The older sister rarely comes home, and when she does, it’s only to give gifts.

However, the whole family is always happy whenever they receive gifts.

Qi Zhiyan took a sip of wine and caught a glimpse of Ruan Yōu, who got out of the car. She paused for a moment and asked the butler beside her:

“Ruan Yōu is here too?”

Qi Zhiyan thought that the first appearance of the Gu family’s eldest lady would be at the banquet organized by the Gu family for her.

The butler smiled politely, “Yes, Mr. Gu Fuchen and Mrs. Ruan are also present to show their respect to your grandfather.”

Qi Zhiyan smiled lightly and remained silent, but caught a glimpse of Qi Nuo secretly eating behind the curtain, her eyebrows furrowed.

Useless younger brother, being scared like this by having a snack at home, lacking any courage and temperament that a family should possess.

“Find him a seat and let him eat properly.” Qi Zhiyan said this and left the second-floor balcony.

As she went downstairs, Qi Zhiyan saw many people.

There were some who couldn’t be considered top-tier elites, but they ranked high on the list of wealthy individuals.

In general, almost half of the prestigious families in Marysue City were gathered here.

Ruan Yōu followed Gu Fuchen and Ruan Liuyu, carrying a small gift box. When they entered the second-floor banquet hall, the conversations noticeably quieted down, and all eyes focused on the three of them.

With piercing gazes, their eyes carried scrutiny and contemplation, and the way they looked at Ruan Yōu was different.

Ruan Yōu clenched the ribbon in her hand, feeling inexplicably nervous.

Ruan Liuyu wanted to chat with the ladies, so she asked Ruan Yōu to accompany Gu Fuchen and wander around.

Ruan Yōu nodded heavily and followed Gu Fuchen step by step. Gu Fuchen happily fed his younger sister, tasted the pastries with a small plate in his hand, found them to be quite good, and gave another piece to his sister.

Under the intense gaze of the socialites and heirs of wealthy families, the two of them tried every edible item in the banquet hall, making the gazes of the socialites and young gentlemen even more intense.

Gu Fuchen had something to do to at work and had to temporarily leave to answer a phone call. At this moment, there was only her left by the small table.

Ruan Yōu felt the burning gazes of everyone.

She couldn’t help but think of the pitiful protagonist from the face-slapping novel who returned to the wealthy family but not only received no praise but also faced criticism and condemnation everywhere because her behavior and etiquette didn’t meet the standards of a “noble young lady.”

Previously, when she was with her brother’s friends, it was fine. They adhered to the principle of “loving the house and its crows,” and they wouldn’t judge her by those standards. But now, she was facing strangers from the wealthy family, and according to the theory in the novel, there were bound to be people enjoying the spectacle.

Ruan Yōu had no fear.

Let the storm come even stronger!

The three socialites glanced at the pastry in her hand and slowly approached.

Ruan Yōu instantly understood that the clichéd scene from the novel, where the Cinderella character is mocked for earnestly eating at a banquet, was about to happen. After all, who attends a banquet to seriously eat pastries?

The socialites stood in front of her, and just as Ruan Yōu was about to interrupt their questioning, one young lady excitedly grabbed her hand.

“Cat一”

Ruan Yōu: ?

“Fat Cat!”

Ruan Yōu: ??

“How do you manage to spend money and yet have more money?”

“You’re amazing, making Ruan Chenchen’s name known to the world. Today, when I saw Gu Fuchen, all his filters were destroyed.”

“The overlord has turned into a gentle mommy.”

Everyone present tonight has seen Gu Fuchen. After seeing photos of Ruan Chenchen and Ruan Yōu online, everyone was shocked.

Is this still the low-key and steady Gu Fuchen they knew?

Impossible!

But all this magical transformation happened.

The curiosity about Ruan Yōu, this extraordinary woman, multiplied a hundredfold, and combining the online information, it’s not hard to deduce that Ruan Yōu is none other than Fat Cat.

Fat Cat has been repeatedly mentioned in the upper-class circles for almost a month. When parents see her spending extravagantly, they would say, “Look at Fat Cat, the more money she spends, the more she has. Why don’t you have this ability?”

Fat Cat, the benchmark figure in the world of extravagant spending.

Every penny she spends has a reason.

The e-sports team has gained popularity in the e-sports community and established the image of an arrogant and extravagant heiress who doesn’t care about money. By purchasing several billion worth of airplanes, she has also gained favor with Jiang Huai, and there are rumors that Jiang Huai approached her for collaboration. The crazy-style publicity is even more extreme.

On the surface, it seems like she’s crazily spending money, but in reality, she’s saving the entertainment industry by bringing a campus variety show with a high rating of 9.5 to the entire internet.

It is said that the variety show invested by Ruan Yōu has made over 100 million yuan in profit. The money spent on promotion has already been earned back, and it has also built a good reputation for Fat Cat. Not to mention, it’s said that she also has a mysterious genius investment advisor who wholeheartedly serves her alone. It’s not easy, really not easy.

The charm of Fat Cat is evident.

However, everyone understands why Gu Fuchen treats his sister so well.

With a money-spending facade but actually money-making lucky cat like this, who wouldn’t love her!

“So, what will you give Elder Qi later? Another stunning gift that will amaze everyone?”

“Maybe she prepared a pure diamond sculpture for Elder Qi?”

Fat Cat’s arrogant heiress image has been established, and everyone naturally thinks of expensive gifts. Meanwhile, Ruan Yōu thinks of her 1000 yuan small gift and awkwardly smiles.

“It’s not that exaggerated, just a small gift.”

Before the three socialites could speak, they were interrupted by the arrival of Lu Jin and Lu Xuan.

“Sister Yōuyōu.”

Behind them, Yu Chi, who had just entered, followed.

It wasn’t Ruan Yōu’s intention to pay attention, but the other person suddenly emitted a charismatic aura, as if there were bright lights shining upon her. She exuded a faint white glow, with a straight back, instantly capturing the focus of the entire venue.

This was the first time Ruan Yōu had met Yu Chi face to face after the livestream ended.

Two seconds later, the white light disappeared.

Lu Xuan curiously followed Ruan Yōu’s gaze and asked, “What are you looking at?”

“The halo.”

Lu Xuan was puzzled, “What halo? A new direction for investment? Are we going to be happy again?”

“No,” Ruan Yōu withdrew her gaze and handed Lu Xuan a pastry, “Why are you constantly thinking about investment now?”

Lu Xuan smiled, “Just enjoying myself.”

During this period, the joy of their selective investments had vanished. Ruan Yōu was busy with her elderly care community, paying less attention to the selection process, and Lu Xuan felt a bit jealous when she thought about it.

How annoying.

A money-making project had actually taken away Ruan Yōu’s attention!

She is very bored every day now, wishing for more projects to pass the time. Because of her boredom, she even went to her brother, Lu Jin, to learn about the company’s affairs.

Lu Jin noticed the changes in his sister, Lu Xuan, and shared it with their parents, feeling even more delighted.

Finally, Lu Xuan’s dream of raising a little milk dog was about to be extinguished.

Lu Xuan said seriously, “I’m happier than when I met the male model last time. Now I’m starting to suspect if I should embark on a career path and cutting off love.”

Ruan Yōu carefully recalled the novel.

There was no mention of Lu Xuan in it.

Ruan Yōu encouraged her, “If you like it, let’s find time to study it seriously. You first need to determine the direction you like.”

“Mhm!”

In the distance, Qi Zhiyan approached and greeted as she passed by. Lu Xuan smiled and said, “I heard that you asked Sister Yōuyōu to specially go abroad to take a precious gift. It must have taken a lot of effort for your birthday. Grandpa Qi will definitely be very happy.”

Qi Zhiyan glanced inexplicably at Ruan Yōu and casually replied, “It’s just a gift, how happy can it make him?”

Ruan Yōu was about to speak when the butler approached, politely smiled, and stood beside Qi Zhiyan, saying, “Miss, Elder Qi has arrived downstairs.”

At the entrance of the elevator, Elder Qi slowly walked out while holding his son’s hand.

Qi Zhiyan didn’t know when she left and arrived by Elder Qi’s side. They were physically close, yet they felt distant and unfamiliar.

Ruan Yōu thought about herself.

She instinctively looked at Ruan Liuyu. Ruan Liuyu was smiling at her from a great distance, with a gentle smile and eyes that seemed to be infused with the essence of a sunny spring, radiating a warm feeling in one’s heart. This was the beauty of family affection.

She and Qi Zhiyan seemed to be trapped in family dilemmas.

The only difference was that she had already walked out of the labyrinth, while Qi Zhiyan had not yet done so.
