Chapter 87 Tooth for Tooth
Lu Jingyao didn't think much about Gu Jianming when he saw him, and just regarded him as an ordinary acquaintance in the circle. He was about to raise a glass in return, but was stunned when he heard these words.
"My daughter owes you a lot of care. She is lucky to be able to please you." Gu Jianming continued.
Lu Jingyao once asked Assistant Liu to investigate Xu Youyou, but the investigation was not so detailed as to find out the real and fake daughters.
"Mr. Gu, you misunderstood. I don't know Miss Gu, so how can I take care of her?" Lu Jingyao said.
Gu Jianming looked at Xu Youyou aside.
Xu Youyou is also looking at this biological father. Many of the things that harmed her in her previous life were apparently done by the three Gu brothers and Gu Xueying, but in fact the person who supported them behind the scenes was Gu Jianming.
As the head of the family, it was impossible for Gu Jianming not to discover these bad things in the family, but the Gu family needed to curry favor with Gu Xueying's fiancé, so Gu Jianming acquiesced to these people using Xu Youyou to make Gu Xueying happy.
Gu Xueying fell down the stairs and had a miscarriage. Xu Youyou tried her best to argue that she did not push Gu Xueying. Her brothers all believed it was her and abused her.
But when Gu Xueying fell down the stairs, Xu Youyou saw Gu Jianming standing on the third floor watching coldly in a panic.
Xu Youyou placed all her hopes on Gu Jianming, hoping that her father would tell the truth and seek justice for her.
"You are so close to Yingying. The plum blossoms in the melons and fields are falling on melons and plums. If it wasn't you, could it be her herself?"
Following Gu Jianming's words, Xu Youyou was completely kicked out of the Gu family.
Gu Jianming didn't know that Xu Youyou was immersed in the painful memories of his previous life. He only vaguely noticed that the cheap daughter looked at him in a wrong way.
Seeing that Xu Youyou never refuted and was not as vulgar and unreasonable as his wife said, he naturally thought that there is no daughter who does not expect father's love. He stretched out his hand to put his arms around Xu Youyou's shoulders: "Mr. Lu, Xu Youyou In fact, it belongs to our Gu family..."
Gu Jianming didn't know that Xu Youyou had been waiting for this moment. Gu Jianming looked like a good husband who doted on his wife, but he had a habit of putting his hand on other people's shoulders, whether they were daughters or female subordinates.
Because of his status, the female subordinates could only tolerate this level of behavior silently even if they felt unhappy. After all, they couldn't get into trouble with the leader over such a trivial matter, and they couldn't even provide evidence that it was sexual harassment.
Just when his hand was about to touch Xu Youyou's shoulder, Xu Youyou started to move. She was good at kung fu. She grabbed it with her backhand, stumbled, and stepped hard on Gu Jianming's calf with her stiletto heels.
A shrill scream.
Gu Jianming, who had just returned to his human appearance, fell to the ground without any precautions. The goblet in his hand shattered and the pale golden champagne spilled all over the floor.
The guests coming and going in the banquet hall felt that they were of extraordinary origin, and they all spoke in whispers. Such a loud movement immediately attracted all the guests to look over.
The villain Xu Youyou complained first and asked loudly: "What are you doing with your hands and feet! You are an old bastard!"
The other guests immediately looked at Gu Jianming with strange eyes, as if they said he was an old beast.
Gu Jianming's head was buzzing. He had thought about being wronged, but he never imagined that his biological daughter would be wronged in this way. The people around him pointed at him, making his face hot, as if he had returned to the most embarrassing time in the past.
Even though Mrs. Gu and Gu Xueying felt embarrassed, Gu Jianming was the head of the family, so they immediately ran over to help Gu Jianming.
Gu Jianming's custom-made suit had been ruined and looked unsightly. After standing up, he immediately defended: "Nonsense! I didn't touch you!"
Lu Jingyao stood directly between Xu Youyou and Gu Jianming, with a dark face: "Mr. Gu, please respect yourself. I have eyes and can see your actions clearly."
Gu Xueying finally had the opportunity to talk to Lu Jingyao, and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Lu, you misunderstood, dad and her are not in that kind of relationship." Who knew that Lu Jingyao became even more angry and said: "Miss Xu is innocent and has nothing to do with your dad. Any relationship!”
Gu Xueying's eyes immediately turned red when he said this.
Mrs. Gu felt sorry for her daughter and husband, and said, "How could it be okay? She is our daughter... our adopted daughter!"
If Gu Xueying hadn't pulled Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Gu would have almost told the truth.
People around him didn't expect that the story would unfold like this. They thought it was an old man who was molesting a young girl and was killed instead. They didn't expect that it was a family.
Xu Youyou felt that in her previous life, she was so stupid that she was blinded by family affection. She was actually willing to return to the Gu family as an adopted daughter, and eventually became a rag that the Gu family threw away casually.
Moments like this, where he had to compromise for the best, had been experienced too many times in his previous life. When the hat of "taking care of the overall situation" fell off, Xu Youyou had to swallow all the grievances.
Fortunately, she doesn't have to endure it anymore in this life.
Xu Youyou said loudly: "I grew up in an orphanage and never had a grain of rice or water from the Gu family. How come I became the adopted daughter of your Gu family?"
Mrs. Gu's eyes widened with anger and she whispered: "You uneducated wild girl, didn't the orphanage teach you to consider the overall situation?"

Xu Youyou smiled evilly at her: "It is the parents' job to educate their children. It's a pity that both my parents died early."
Mrs. Gu was so angry that her nose became crooked when she heard her saying "dead parents".
Xu Youyou continued to output: "Don't say that I am not the adopted daughter of your Gu family. Even if I am an adopted daughter, can I, as an adoptive father, touch my daughter?"
The guests around him nodded when they heard this and murmured in a low voice: "This little girl is indeed beautiful. Is Gu Jianming really lustful?"
"This is still so anxious at a banquet. He doesn't know what it's like in private."
Gu Jianming listened to these discussions and explained angrily: "I didn't want to touch her at all. I just raised my hand and didn't touch her shoulder at all!"
Xu Youyou said lightly: "Why are you touching my shoulder when you are free? It's under the melon fields and plums. Why aren't you lustful?"
Xu Youyou wore a dress with thin straps, revealing her white and delicate shoulders, and she looked particularly beautiful.
As soon as she said this, the people around her looked at her with amusement.
Lu Jingyao immediately took off his suit jacket, put it on Xu Youyou's shoulders, and looked back at those strange looks.
Xu Youyou gently tugged on Lu Jingyao's sleeves. In fact, she didn't care about these looks at all. These people in the upper class looked glamorous, but in fact they didn't just play with whoever had money.
She doesn't expect these people to make money anyway, so she doesn't care about their opinions. As long as she can use her reputation to make Gu Jianming look bad, she thinks it's worth it.
But Lu Jingyao obviously didn't think so. He stood in front of Xu Youyou and said to Gu Jianming: "I hope Mr. Gu can take responsibility for his inappropriate actions and apologize to Miss Xu."
