Chapter 967: The Carp Leaps Over the Dragon Gate
"By the way, Xiao Zhen, Xiao Yi is a good driver. If there is something that is inconvenient for you to show up, just let Xiao Yi follow and you guys can handle it." Gu Yao gave Xiao Zhen enough face.
After all, it was the first person she was looking for.
Xiao Zhen clenched his hands. "This Xiao Yi is really capable. He just went out with the young lady alone once, and she already remembered him. I have to beat him up when we meet tomorrow to vent my anger."
"Yes, miss." Xiao Zhen said, and disappeared into the night.
"Tsk tsk, Xiao Zhen, Xiao Zhen, you always disappear and no one can see you. But it's good, with you around, I feel home is safer." Gu Yao said with a smile.
Xiao Zhen, hidden in the darkness, raised the corners of his mouth.

The young lady said she wanted to deal with the Qian family.
Recently, the Qian family's shop in Beijing has been plagued by one thing after another.
As a result, every shop employee was nervous at night.
The Qian family reported the case to the police, but the suspicious person was never caught.
The case is not big, just disgusting.
Those who made the move all had internal strength, and if they wanted to run, they could do so very quickly.
Ordinary police officers were no match for them.
The case is not serious and the government will not take it seriously, so let the Qian family figure it out on their own.
That’s why they didn’t trace the case to Gu Yao.
Gu Yao is very relieved when Xiao Zhen does things.
-
The next morning, Gu Yao arrived at the workshop and saw Tan Xiaomei was also there.
"Huh? Xiaomei, why are you up so early today?" Gu Yao said with a smile.
Tan Xiaomei doesn't come here often, and when she does, she doesn't come so early. Why is the sun rising from the west today?
"Sister Yao, I might as well come here than stay at home. I feel bad when I see that aunt at home. My father even asked my aunt to help me choose a marriage. How can I stay at home?" Tan Xiaomei complained.
There were only two of them in the flower hall. The front yard was used for reception and part of it was used for drying clothes. They were talking in the house and the people busy outside could not hear them.
"Ah? You need an aunt to decide your marriage?" Gu Yao was speechless.
A concubine actually wants to decide the marriage of the legitimate daughter?
"My father has been very busy with his business lately, and he has to go out as a escort. Only my aunt can do the housework. I am the legitimate daughter, and she is just an aunt. What good man can she find for me? I feel annoyed when I see her at home, so I leave. It's better for me to stay in the workshop and feel better." Tan Xiaomei said this with a lonely look on her face.
"Alas, every family has its own problems. It's hard for me to say about your situation. But what do you think?" Gu Yao said that the other person's family background was not very good either.
"What else can I think? At my age, I must get married. But I don't know who that person will be." Tan Xiaomei has been with her father for so many years. There are quite a few good guys in the escort agency.
But my dad said he wanted to find someone who was of equal social status.
She also didn't know what kind of person her father wanted her to find.
Gu Yao thought of the party invitation: "Come with me to the party in a few days, are you free?"
The first thing Gu Yao thought of was to take Tan Xiaomei with her to change her circle, maybe they could find the right one.
There are all kinds of people at the flower-viewing banquet. Even if you don’t see anyone you like, it’s good to show your face among so many people.
It’s better than hanging out in the circle of business ladies!
"Ah? In a few days? Where's the banquet? Why haven't I heard about it?" Tan Xiaomei was very curious.
After all, they are all members of the business circle now. It is impossible for people in the circle to send an invitation to Gu Yao and not to her, the eldest daughter of the Tan family. This is not fair. If she knew who the family was, she would definitely deal with them in the future.
This shows that she, the eldest daughter of the Tan family, is not taken seriously!
It was visibly that something was not right with Tan Xiaomei's expression.
Gu Yao immediately said: "He is not from the business circle, but a friend in Dongcheng. You will know when the time comes. There will definitely be a surprise."
Gu Yao was afraid to tell this guy that her troublesome aunt was forcing the family on her, along with her concubine sisters.
It’s not that Gu Yao looks down on illegitimate children, it’s that their illegitimate sister is a little bit brainless and Gu Yao doesn’t like her.
She was not discriminating against any illegitimate child, but she was not satisfied with the identity she had chosen, and she wanted to fight for it as if she were a legitimate child.
Tan Xiaomei's eyes lit up: "Dongcheng? Anyone who can host a banquet must not be an ordinary person. Your communication skills are amazing!"
She sighed again and again.
"There are still ten days left. You should dress nicely and show your face. Maybe you will meet your future husband, right? Even if you don't meet the man of your dreams, it won't be a waste to let your family meet you when the time comes." Gu Yao was really doing this for her own good.
She keeps talking about meeting someone, but hasn't specified who she's meeting.
"Since you said so, I don't want my aunt to help me with fortune-telling for the time being. Otherwise, it will be bad for my reputation if people tell others about it, hehe." Tan Xiaomei felt a little embarrassed and shy.
"Well, don't let your aunt know that I'm taking you to the banquet for the time being. I can only take you alone!" Gu Yao deliberately reminded.
"Hehe, I know, Sister Yao, thank you very much. I was thinking about my marriage and just randomly finding someone to marry, but I didn't expect that Sister Yao would still worry about me. Whether it succeeds or not, I will always remember your contribution." Tan Xiaomei can now take a step forward.
Who wants to stay in the business circle forever?
It would be great if they could marry into the official family, so that the Tan family's future life would be better than before.
Even if she marries the second son of an official, that's not bad.
Now that their status is established, no matter what their family does in the future, they will have someone behind them.
To survive in this era, one has to sacrifice for the family, but at the same time, she married into a wealthy family, which was a great achievement.
Tan Xiaomei also longs to take a step forward.
Since it doesn't matter who you marry, why not find a good one? This is also an opportunity.
Sister Yao gave her a chance, but if she didn't think about herself once, she would be a big fool.
-
On the morning of the banquet, Gu Yao didn't need to arrange for anyone to pick up Tan Xiaomei. Tan Xiaomei arrived at Gu Yao's home in Dongcheng before dawn.
Xiao Zhen went to open the door early in the morning.
Tan Xiaomei said with a smile: "Sister Yao hasn't gotten up yet? Am I here too early?"
She was also a little embarrassed and so excited that she couldn't sleep. She was also worried that it would be late and waste time.
"She hasn't gotten up yet. I'll go and inform the young lady." Xiao Zhen looked at Tan Xiaomei with no other expression on his face, as if he was telling her not to get close to him.
