Chapter 940: Overstepping the Master

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Jin frowned. “My sister is not Tong Rao’s biological daughter.”

Gu Shuxue was taken aback. “Really?”

Family Head Tong Rao was someone she greatly admired. Lately, she had felt uneasy thinking about how Gu Yang had transitioned from being the adopted daughter of the Gu family to becoming the heir of the Tong family, poised to take on a role similar to Tong Rao’s.

The members of the Gu family’s second and third branches who attended the banquet were also shocked, but their surprise quickly turned to joy.

They had been concerned that Gu Yang might return to the Tong family and aid the eldest branch in seizing power.

It was a relief to learn that Gu Yang was not actually Tong Rao’s daughter!

At that moment, Gu Yang was seen running over, her skirt flowing as gracefully as a butterfly.

Gu Yang’s face was bright with a smile. “Sister, Mom, I’m here to pick you up.”

Seeing the elegantly dressed Gu Yang, Gu Shuxue’s heart sank. “Cousin Gu Yang, we were just talking about you. I didn’t expect you to arrive.”

Gu Yang could sense the tension between her family and the second branch.

Stepping in front of Gu Jin protectively, Gu Yang asked, “What were you saying about me?”

Gu Shuxue’s tone brimmed with uncontrolled excitement. “Is it true that Family Head Tong Rao is not your biological mother?”

Gu Yang nodded.

“That’s a pity,” Gu Shuxue said, feigning regret, but her smirk betrayed her true feelings. “Cousin Gu Yang, it seems you’ve become a ‘fake daughter’ again. That must be quite a psychological blow, right?”

The members of the second and third branches were equally shocked. They hadn’t anticipated that Tong Rao would come personally and cause such a misunderstanding.

Gu Shuzhi pondered the situation. Could it be that Tong Rao had deliberately used this tactic to embarrass Gu Yang, perhaps as revenge for the Tong siblings’ imprisonment?

Gu Shuda also lamented, “The difference is indeed significant—hundreds of billions in assets!”

Upon learning that Gu Yang was not a daughter of the Tong family, Gu Shuxue resumed her previous disdainful attitude towards Gu Yang. “Cousin Gu Yang, you look quite impressive today. But when you stand next to Cousin Gu Jin, you’re going to overshadow Miss Xiao.”

Gu Shuxue’s mother, Guo Min, added, “However, the biggest taboo at this banquet is stealing the limelight. We are all guests here. Today is Miss Xiao’s family recognition banquet. If the attention is drawn away from the host, it might not be well-received.”

“It won’t,” Xiao Yize said, appearing behind Gu Yang and standing next to Gu Jin.

“Young Master Xiao!” Gu Shuxue held her breath as she took in the sight of Xiao Yize in his suit and leather shoes.

She was preparing to engage Xiao Yize in conversation when she saw him take Gu Jin’s hand.

Gu Shuxue was taken aback.

Xiao Yize said, “Jin is my girlfriend, and Yangyang is my biological sister. They are also the masters of the Xiao family.”

He regretted not using “Gu Yang” on the invitation, but the old man had insisted on formality, opting for the name he had given.

The Gu family members, especially Gu Shuxue, Guo Min, and the others from the second and third branches, were stunned by the revelation.

Gu Shuxue and Guo Min felt their faces burn with embarrassment as they recalled their earlier self-righteous comments.

Gu Shuda, now fully grasping the situation, looked at Gu Yang with newfound admiration. “Wow! Little cousin Gu Yang, so you’re not just the daughter of the Tong family but the daughter of the Xiao family?”

Her luck was astounding!

Despite being adopted by the wrong family initially, Gu Yang had lived a life of privilege. And now, with the head of a wealthy family coming to acknowledge her, she had ended up as the only daughter of the prestigious Xiao family.
