“Where did this little bastard come from? Ah? We just went out for a vacation, why did Gu Zhi appear when we came back? Gu Cheng, I-I’m telling you! The matter of our Gu Zhen being adopted by the first household is set in stone! No one is allowed to cause any destruction! Hurry up and find out where this little bastard came from! Get her out of here!” Li Dan was holding the invitation card from the main residence, and she was screaming at her husband, Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng was a side branch of the Gu family. Although he could not be considered a distant cousin, he was indeed quite far away.

However, his father knew the ways of the world the best. Although they were not blood-related, their family was very close to the main residence! The Old Master was very good to this younger cousin, and he also cared for this nephew of his. As the saying goes, ‘It’s better to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade’. It was needless to say that the benefit of having a good relationship with the main residence was worth its weight in gold.

The biggest regret in the main residence was Gu Zhi’s disappearance. This was a pain that could not even be mentioned.

Gu Cheng’s wife, Li Dan, used to be a saleswoman in a department store under the Gu Group. She met Gu Cheng by chance. At that time, Gu Cheng was accompanying Gu Sen on an inspection.

At that time, Li Dan had just entered the workplace and was waiting for an opportunity to strike. She felt like she had found a treasure. After several attempts of seduction, Gu Cheng was hooked. It was not until the two got married that Li Dan realized that the man she had hooked was not a rich man at all, but a snail in a turtle’s shell.

However, there was no medicine for regret in this world. Everyone thought that she had married into a rich family. She bragged and put up a good front. So, she could only force herself to hold on. Fortunately, Gu Cheng had a soft personality and listened to her about everything. Her in-laws were also very easy to control. Soon, the family was fully in her hands.

Li Dan was very excited about the tragedy in the main house. She had always dreamed that they could find Gu Zhi, and then use Gu Zhi to become the main house’s great benefactor, and then soar to success.

However, Gu Zhi was too difficult to find. It was harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

Gu Cheng had tried to persuade her, “Gu Su has raised the bounty to 300 million yuan. Don’t those gangsters have more manpower than you? If they can’t find her, how can we?”

Li Dan had no choice but to give up.

One day, while she was thinking about how to make a fortune, her daughter fell down in front of her with a ‘plop’. She cried in pain.

Not only did she not coax her, but she was also enlightened in an instant!

She hugged her daughter and kissed her fiercely, smiling as she kissed her. “Why do we need to find the real person? Can’t we just give them a substitute?”

Li Dan then mobilized the whole family and actively carried out activities. She asked the elders of each branch of the Gu family to lobby the Old Master and Old Madam of the main house, so that they would agree to adopt a girl from the family to Gu An and Han Li of the eldest branch.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this idea came out, everyone followed suit. Every branch of the Gu family was fighting to put a girl in the main house.

This stimulated Li Dan’s potential, and she worked tirelessly to develop her daughter’s various talents and abilities, while doing everything she could to make her competitors return in defeat. Her daughter, Gu Zhen, became the most promising candidate to move into the main residence and become the Eldest Lady of the Gu family.

Under her mother’s arrangement, the nine-year-old Gu Zhen had learned a lot of skills and had long considered herself the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Now that she heard that the real eldest daughter of the Gu family had returned and that she could no longer be the honorable eldest daughter of the Gu family, she suddenly cried as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed.

“I don’t care, I want to go to the main house and be the Young Miss! I’m the Young Miss of the Gu family! I don’t care what method you use! You have to make me the Young Miss of the Gu family. Otherwise, I’ll die in front of you!”

Gu Zhen shrieked. She picked up the vase beside her and smashed it on the ground.

Li Dan was shocked. She did not have the time to yell at her husband and quickly coaxed her daughter. “Baby, baby, be careful not to hurt your hand!”

“Aiyo, my good baby, my good baby, don’t be angry, don’t get angry, you have to watch your manners! Manners! You’re the Young Miss of the Gu family. The Young Miss of the Gu family should be dignified and generous. Think about your two aunts! You can’t do this!”

Nothing was more useful than this kind of comfort.

Gu Zhen gasped and stopped. She widened her bloodshot eyes and glared at her parents fiercely. “I must be the Eldest Miss of the Gu family!”

“Okay, okay, okay. You will definitely be the Eldest Miss of the Gu family!” Li dan comforted her daughter.

“Right? Husband? Quickly state your position!” Li Dan quickly pushed her submissive husband away.

Gu Cheng frowned and mumbled, “What can I do? The one who came back is the real Gu Zhi. People have seen her. She’s a five-year-old girl and she’s so pretty…”

Pa!

Li Dan slapped Gu Cheng’s head. “You’re courting death! Who are you speaking for?! Who’s your biological daughter?!”

Gu Cheng did not dare to speak.
