The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

’A woman like that thinks she can run wild in the Lu Family?’

"Lin Kai, come here."

Lin Kai hurried over without daring to delay for even a second. He was a man drawing two salaries. His real boss had just docked his pay; he couldn’t afford to get it docked on this side too.

This was the stubborn pride of a wage slave!

At this point, he would do anything Lu Chaoyang asked, no matter how low it fell on the moral scale, as long as the price was right!

"You keep a close eye on Gu Shengsheng. If anything happens, come to me."

’I have to find a way to throw her out.’

’A woman like her is fit to mock me?’

After "scramming," Lin Kai stood in a corner and sent a message to Lu Shijing:

"Boss, let me tell you, I risked my life to get a screen recording for you. You have no idea how much the Young Madam loves you."

"Oh my god! You’re the only one in her heart."

As he typed, Lin Kai was so moved he was about to cry.

At first, Lu Shijing just clicked on it casually. But when he saw the conversation, he was stunned.

He couldn’t help but watch it a second time, and then a third...

’So she really married me this willingly?’

’Now that’s a surprise.’

’If that’s the case, then there’s no harm in having someone help her out a little.’

"If Lu Chaoyang targets her, keep me informed."

"Don’t worry, Boss, this whole spy job is my specialty. I’m not good at much, but I excel at giving simple, unadorned reminders."

Lu Shijing didn’t say anything more. He rubbed the bridge of his nose and went back to work.

It would take about another week to move the entire company back to the country.

Of course, the battle to seize market share against the Lu Group had already begun...

Now, all that was left was to wait for Lu Chaoyang to fall into the trap.

—

Gu Shengsheng chatted with the old madam, comforting her by saying it was fine that she didn’t go, and that a health check-up was more important.

Because it had gotten too late, Gu Shengsheng arranged with Zhao Dehai to pick up the item the next morning.

But Gu Shengsheng didn’t know that when she woke up early the next day, Second Madam Lu had already brought three or five of her friends over for a game of mahjong.

She had come down to meet someone, but she didn’t expect to find Second Madam Lu and her group having such a good time. Among them was Mrs. Yang, the one who had tried to save face by acting rich and ended up losing ten million.

Seeing Gu Shengsheng, she called out, "Miss Gu, remember me? Looking at you, it seems great people have short memories. You’ve probably forgotten all about me!"

"How could I? Ten million."

After she said that, the other mahjong players burst out laughing.

Mrs. Yang’s expression turned a little sour.

Before she could retort, the doorbell rang.

Second Madam Lu told the maid to get the door.

The maid rushed back in. "Oh dear, that gentleman from the Cultural Relics Bureau is here."

Second Madam Lu jumped. "What? Chaoyang has gone to work, and my husband is at the company too. Did he get the wrong house? Quick, invite him in! Invite him in for tea."

This was no small figure. The Lu Family had previously wanted to arrange a joint event with the Cultural Relics Bureau but couldn’t even get a meeting.

This time, she had to make him stay, no matter what.

Mrs. Yang and the other ladies were envious. "Your family has this kind of connection? We’re truly impressed today."

"The people from the Cultural Relics Bureau never mingle with us business folk. Your family, though... the Old Master was formidable back in the day, and you all are still just as formidable now."

Second Madam Lu laughed. "Oh, we’re not the formidable ones. It’s all because our Chaoyang is the head of the family now. Everything is different."

"In the future, if any of you need my help with anything, just ask."

Mrs. Yang flattered her for a moment, then looked at Gu Shengsheng and said:

"Well, well. You know, some people are about the same age as others. One is a CEO, while the other is just a bride for luck. Does she really think she can marry into wealth and become a phoenix?"

"My Yang Jiao might be a bit naive and arrogant at times, but your bride-for-luck... she really needs to be disciplined."

In a good mood, Second Madam Lu said, "Oh, I can’t discipline her. My sister-in-law has never liked me. If I say something is right, she’ll deliberately argue the opposite. And my mother-in-law has never been fond of me either."

"If my son weren’t so outstanding, I don’t know how badly I’d be bullied."

She then put on a pitiable act, but when she turned to greet Zhao Dehai, her expression was perfectly normal again.

Zhao Dehai was dressed in a very simple white shirt, carrying a briefcase.

Second Madam Lu immediately greeted him warmly. "Mr. Zhao, our Chaoyang has gone to work. Now that he knows you’re here, he’s rushing home as we speak."

"I had no idea you and Chaoyang were such good friends that you’d come straight to our home."

As she spoke, the maid brought out several servings of morning tea.

They were all exquisite pastries.

Gu Shengsheng sat there sipping her water, just watching. ’This Second Madam Lu is quite an actress,’ she thought.

’Are all these wealthy madams so two-faced, acting one way to your face and another behind your back?’

Watching her bustle about, Zhao Dehai quickly said, "No, no, that’s not necessary. I’m just sitting for a moment, and then I’ll be on my way."

"I’m not here to see the Lu Family Master today. I have some business with Miss Gu. Please, don’t mind me."

Second Madam Lu was instantly choked speechless.

She even wondered if she had misheard.

Then she asked again, "You’re here to see..."

"Miss Gu. Gu Shengsheng. Isn’t she the new daughter-in-law of the Lu Family? Is Second Madam Lu not familiar with her?"

As he spoke, he looked toward Gu Shengsheng, who was sitting in the corner.

Gu Shengsheng then smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, sir."

Mrs. Yang blinked several times, unable to process it. ’Wait... why would someone so important be looking for Gu Shengsheng?’

"Mr. Zhao, you’re at the Lu residence. Aren’t you looking for Lu Chaoyang?"

"Why would you be looking for this Gu Shengsheng? She may be the Gu family’s ’real’ daughter, but she’s spent the last few years being raised in a village."

Her words were dripping with mockery.

Zhao Dehai was an older man to begin with.

At this point, he truly couldn’t hold back any longer and began to speak in an earnest, lecturing tone:

"Go back three generations, and whose family wasn’t a farmer? This old man came from the mountains myself. What did we children from the mountains ever do to you?"

"Furthermore, for a bright child like Gu Shengsheng to marry into the Lu Family is your family’s good fortune. Second Madam Lu, your behavior toward a junior is truly improper."

"..." Second Madam Lu was suddenly speechless. It was the first time she had been lectured like this, and she didn’t dare to talk back.

Zhao Dehai then huffed coldly. "You all keep saying she’s an orphan from the village with no family to back her up. I was the one who came to Beijing City with her. I suppose that makes me her family, doesn’t it?"

"The Lu Family is just a business at the end of the day. Don’t look down on people so much. How do you expect to carry on like this?"

As he was speaking, Gu Shengsheng came down with the cloisonné birdcage.

When she heard him refer to himself as her family, she paused for a slight moment.

She even felt a warmth spread through her heart.

Zhao Dehai took the object from her.

He said, "Miss Gu, seeing the real thing, I am still astounded by your restoration skills. The fact that this piece can be sold is half thanks to your work."

"Mr. Zhao, when you take it back, please remember that it cannot be used yet. It needs to be kept at a specific temperature in a dust-free environment for about seven more days before it can be displayed."
