Chapter 23 You also represent the reputation of our Lu family's eldest branch
Then he sat obediently in Lin Kai's car without saying a word.
He pondered inwardly that this stage of pretending to be crazy and stupid was over. There were still countless wolves and tigers waiting for him, and the challenge in Kyoto would be even greater.
But for Gu Shengsheng, greater challenges also mean greater opportunities to make money.
I have to make money quickly, and then slowly start live streaming. When I have enough money, I can buy a house to settle down and slowly break away from the Lu family.
For a family with such complicated connections and power, it could be a matter of life and death if you are not careful.
That's what happened to my husband who died young.
Gu Shengsheng doesn't have the leisure to do anything for the Lu family.
She now has to plan everything for herself.
I have searched on my mobile phone and found some recent market information of Beijing’s second-hand market and second-hand goods market.
Maybe I can go to Panjiayuan someday. It is full of legends.
Thinking about it, Gu Shengsheng felt a lot of anticipation.
The car stopped at the Lu family's villa. Gu Shengsheng got out of the car and a nanny came to pick her up.
I originally wanted to help carry the luggage, but Gu Shengsheng didn’t bring anything.
She was a little surprised.
But after all, he was working for a wealthy family, so he quickly calmed down and put on the standard fake smile he used to treat guests.
When Gu Shengsheng entered the room, Mrs. Lu was sitting in the living room.
Looking at her coming, he said, "Shengsheng, come here."
The tone was neither cold nor indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether he liked or disliked it.
Gu Shengsheng looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so she just sat there stiffly.
Mrs. Lu, Zhao Fenghua, said, "From now on, you will be the eldest young lady, even though you were brought in for good luck. However, this matter must be arranged. Mother has prepared a dinner for you tonight."
"When the time comes, we must not lose face."
Gu Shengsheng stood up and said, "Okay, I'll follow Madam's arrangements."
She finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Although our eldest branch has declined a lot due to Shi Jing's departure, the prestige of the eldest branch must also be maintained."
"Rules, I will send someone to teach you from now on, and you can follow me and learn from me at each banquet."
Gu Shengsheng really had no experience attending banquets, and then said, "But the first one...what should I do?"
"In the first round, you just need to be proud of yourself." Zhao Fenghua's voice was still calm. "Even if you are impolite, even if you grew up in the countryside, you must show your own temperament and don't let people look down on you."
"You are in the Lu family's house, and you represent our reputation."
Gu Shengsheng understood what he meant.
There was a hint of surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to say such a thing. She thought it was going to be a fierce fight, but she didn't expect it to be a quarrel at the banquet...
Gu Shengsheng should have understood correctly. At that time, everyone in the Lu family would go. The purpose of this banquet was that the old lady wanted to introduce her to the famous family.
Only then can she be considered Lu Shijing's wife.
She heard that the Lu family had a noble family background and always treated everyone with equality and respect. She originally thought that getting married would require a lot of suffering.
And he could clearly feel that Mrs. Lu was not satisfied with him, but it was not easy for him to protect her like this.
It can be seen that this is a person who knows right from wrong.
She had indeed made the right bet on this way to get married. At least, she would not be worse than her biological parents.
Gu Shengsheng followed Mrs. Lu's instructions and went upstairs to change into the bright red dress that had been prepared.
It fits well.
Mrs. Lu also changed and ordered someone to come over to do her hair. She said with satisfaction: "After seeing you that day, I roughly measured the size with my eyes."
"This time, it fits."
Gu Shengsheng was a little dazed. Her biological mother had never been willing to understand her body shape. All the clothes she prepared were clothes that her adopted daughter didn't want. Even the one custom-made one was in her adopted daughter's size.
However, if you meet a stranger once, you can still give him or her a rough idea of his or her height.
It's ironic.
Indeed, blood ties are the most unreliable things. Gu Shengsheng also knows that in this world, no one can be relied upon except herself.
Gu Shengsheng is a natural beauty, and now that she is dressed up, the color red itself is eye-catching. It seems that she is capable of handling such a color.
Mrs. Lu was finally satisfied, and said in a slightly softer tone, "Let's go."
The banquet was held at the second wife's house, which was spacious and magnificent.
When Gu Shengsheng came in, Mrs. Lu Zhao Fenghua brought her to meet grandma.
The grandmother liked her and took Gu Shengsheng by the hand, and began to ask about her well-being. She then smiled and introduced her to others.
Who would dare to object in front of Old Lady Lu?
But none of them looked at Gu Shengsheng.
It's just a gift sold for good luck, what's so good about it?
Coming to Beijing from such a remote and poor place, do you really think you can become a phoenix by climbing up the tree?
It is also because the Lu family is kind-hearted. If it were any other family, the only purpose of a bride is to bring good luck, and she would be a servant at other times.
Who would introduce such a girl who comes to bring good luck to others as the young lady?
Although everyone seemed to be happy on the surface, Mrs. Lu's actions caused her to get into a lot of gossip.
Even many wealthy ladies thought she was crazy.
When everyone saw Gu Shengsheng, they all thought she was pretty. But that was just her appearance.
First, the eldest son of the Lu family died, and then the eldest lady inexplicably gave him a lucky charm, which really showed that the Lu family's eldest branch was in decline.
Any girl you buy can be your daughter-in-law.
Secondly, Gu Shengsheng is just a country bumpkin, and she doesn’t have the temperament of a lady at all. Everyone can feel this when she steps out.
She obviously still had a wild air about her, and she dressed so flamboyantly, as if she was afraid that others wouldn't notice she was a country bumpkin.
There were so many rumors that all reached Mrs. Lu's ears without exception. Everyone said that she was senile and confused.
It was interesting. The old lady sat for a while and then left. Usually, in such occasions, she just came to support the occasion and left after a while.
When he left, he said, "Everyone else is drunk, but I'm sober. I can't tell who's right and who's wrong."
After Old Madam Lu left, Madam Lu became the object of "comfort" by everyone.
"Mrs. Lu, you're usually the one who brings us along, so why are you involved with a bitch like this who's here to bring good luck? You bought this scoundrel with money, and your Lu family really treats him like a treasure?"
"Your old family is confused. You are alone now. Your husband has been demoted and is abroad, and your son is missing. You can't let your mother-in-law torment you by yourself!"
"After all, it's just a wedding for the sake of prosperity. You can't really take care of her like a daughter-in-law."
"From time to time, you should also learn from your sister-in-law's boldness. She manages your Lu family really well. You are just too cautious and too rule-abiding."
