Chapter 184 One step at a time
Zhao Zhaodi hesitated and looked at Xu Youyou for help.
Xu Youyou nodded towards her and said with a smile: "We are busy with the auditions and can't accompany you. It's rare that Ms. Lin is willing to help, so just go with her. I'll let Xiao Wang go with you."
Zhao Zhaodi was completely relieved when she saw that there were bodyguards accompanying her, and the matter of traveling to Suzhou was settled.
Ms. Lin's expression softened to the naked eye, and she said, "Ms. Xu, you have a lot of things to do, so I don't want to disturb you. There will be a banquet at home the day after tomorrow. Please be sure to enjoy it."
Xu Youyou nodded in agreement.
Ms. Lin was very particular about her work. When she sent Zhao Zhaodi back to the hotel that night, she personally sent a dinner invitation to Xu Youyou.
The day after tomorrow is not a big day. Ms. Lin's invitation clearly stated that it was a "special banquet."
Xu Youyou asked Zhao Zhaodi about the details of her relationship with Ms. Lin during the day.
Zhao Zhaodi felt sleepy immediately after mentioning this, her mouth chattering like a little sparrow.
"At first, Aunt Lin and Uncle Zheng accompanied me. Later, Uncle Zheng had to go to work, and Aunt Lin's eldest daughter, Sister Zheng, also came."
"Boss, you will never guess who Sister Zheng is!"
"Sister Zheng won the Winter Olympics skiing championship! She is such a big shot, but she has a very good temper and is as gentle as Aunt Lin."
"They took me to the Suzhou Museum. I couldn't scan the QR code, but they didn't laugh at me. Sister Zheng was very patient in teaching me."
"They also took me to listen to Pingtan in an old courtyard. I felt a little familiar with that place. Maybe I had been there in my dream. Pingtan was so good. I really wished I was from Suzhou."
"At noon, Aunt Lin took me to a house in a small alley for lunch. She said it was authentic Huaiyang cuisine. She also took me to her home for a lunch break."
"Aunt Lin's house is very big. It is said to be built after the Humble Administrator's Garden. By the way, at noon I said I couldn't sleep. Aunt Lin stayed by my bed and sang me a lullaby to lull me to sleep. It was very nice." br>
The more Xu Youyou listened, the more she understood that although the paternity test results had not yet come out, Ms. Lin was so close to Zhao Zhaodi that she was probably convinced that this was her daughter. Now she was just waiting for the test results to officially recognize her.
"Do you like them?" Xu Youyou asked.
Zhao Zhaodi nodded vigorously: "I really wish I was their daughter. Unfortunately, they are so powerful, but I am stupid. I am definitely not their child."
Xu Youyou patted her shoulder comfortingly and said, "You always ranked first in the exams. You are not stupid at all."
Children are always easy to coax, and Zhao Zhaodi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she heard the praise.
Suzhou is very close to Shanghai. The reason why Xu Youyou set up an audition in Gusu was very simple. Lin Daiyu is from Suzhou.
She thought that the soil and water would support a person, and she was afraid that she would not find a suitable Lin Daiyu elsewhere. Unexpectedly, she finally found Lin Daiyu in Luoyang.
However, the selection work at the Gusu venue was also very smooth. In just two days, seven girls were selected. There was a girl whose eyebrows were very similar to Wen Shiyan's. Xu Youyou directly selected her as a candidate for age officer. . On the night of the banquet, Ms. Lin was extremely solemn and sent her eldest son and daughter to pick her up.
Mr. Zheng Xiao and Miss Zheng are twins, with very similar faces.
Obviously, the two children have been raised very well by Ms. Lin and his wife. Mr. Zheng Xiao is handsome and has a good temperament. Ms. Zheng, perhaps because she has been an athlete, has slightly dark skin. She looks full of energy and has a lingering spirit all over her body. Healthy look.
What the two of them have in common is that they look at Zhao Zhaodi with distressed eyes.
Zhao Zhaodi and Xu Youyou were sitting in the same car. The little girl kept talking all the way. She would talk about how great Sister Zheng was, and how smart Brother Zheng was. Of course, the one she praised the most was Ms. Lin.
"Boss, I just found out that Aunt Lin used to be a university professor. After she lost her child, she quit her job and created a charity foundation for finding relatives. Over the years, she has helped many parents find their children. As expected, what is this amazing person doing? All excellent.”
Xu Youyou looked at the little girl with admiration in her eyes and said with a smile: "She has helped so many people. Sooner or later she will be able to find her child."
Zhao Zhaodi nodded vigorously and said: "The parents who are looking for relatives especially listen to her, because she really helps when there is something. She tells those parents every day that if you want to find a child, you must also live a good life. If you take care of everything, If you don’t care about yourself, how can you take good care of your child when he comes back?”
Xu Youyou thought of the parents she had seen since arriving in Suzhou. Although these parents were sad, most of them maintained their dignity. She did not expect that it was Ms. Lin who took the credit.
The car drove on the road for an hour and a half, going further and further off the road, and finally followed the Zheng family's car and slowly drove into an open gate.
The car parked in a parking space not far from the entrance, and the group walked instead. As they went deeper into the courtyard, the look of surprise in Xu Youyou's eyes became heavier. The family's wealth was deeper than she had imagined.

Along the way, there are all Su-style buildings, pavilions and pavilions. The scenery changes with each step, which is dizzying. After walking for a few hundred meters, we arrived in front of a unique courtyard with the words "Little Reunion" written on the door. The calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, obviously written by a famous artist.
This courtyard is not the end point. There are various rockery and flowing water scenes in the back. Xu Youyou guessed that the banquet was held here for the convenience of the guests and to prevent the guests from being unable to walk because of the long distance.
Mr. Zheng and Ms. Lin are already waiting at the courtyard gate.
Today, Ms. Lin wore a plain cheongsam, which was also covered with a lotus-pink silk shawl. She had exquisite makeup on her face and her long hair was tied up with an emerald green hairpin.
Xu Youyou looked down and saw the same emerald green bracelet on Ms. Lin's white wrist.
Xu Youyou once sold such jade material, the best imperial green. Just such a bracelet is estimated to cost tens of millions.
After exchanging a few words, the group turned and walked towards the courtyard.
After entering, Xu Youyou first saw two green peacocks raised in the yard. Then she walked lightly and entered the small hall. She was immediately frightened because there was a large family hidden inside.
The Zheng family seems to be a big family. Mr. Zheng's father, Mr. Zheng, is sitting at the head of the table, accompanied by Mr. Zheng's two younger brothers and one younger sister. They all have their own families. Now that they are together, the room is very lively.
These people were all looking at Zhao Zhaodi secretly, their eyes gentle and restrained.
"Don't watch them together, watch them one by one, don't scare the children." When Xu Youyou passed by Aunt Zheng, she heard her scolding her children in a low voice.
Xu Youyou: ...Inexplicably, I feel like a monkey in my profession.
