Chapter 822 — Gu Mengyao's Identity
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Gou Huli wanted nothing more than to hurl the phone from her hand in fury, but the thought that it was the newest Apple model and had cost her several thousand yuan made her hesitate — and she put it away. The Xiao family had declined, and her monthly allowance was now less than what she had pocketed in the old days as a mistress! But there was no help for it; she knew the Xiao family was sinking day by day, and even if she complained, there was no one to complain to.
Gou Huli made up her mind: once she got back, she would go to the estate management office and ask around about the owner of that villa. A woman as imperious as she was — if she didn't teach them a lesson, how could she live up to her standing as the Xiao family's daughter-in-law?
So, at that thought, Gou Huli hurried downstairs, went to the parking lot, got into her car and sped back to the villa district, found the property management company and swaggered in.
The management office kept files on every owner in the district; barring any explicit confidentiality instruction, they could all be looked up directly.
So it took Gou Huli little effort to find the owner's name registered for the villa: Gu Mengyao!
Gu Mengyao? Gou Huli was briefly taken aback — then it struck her: the little maid who had shown the membership card earlier seemed to be surnamed Chu, and the other maid beside her had called her "Sister Yaoyao." Could she really be Gu Mengyao? Surely not! She was the owner of this villa?
Gou Huli was astonished, and small wonder — Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had both been plainly dressed in ordinary tracksuits, and that Wei Zhao had been wearing a coarse cloth tunic so countrified and so identical to a laborer's that it looked like a gardener's uniform. That was why she had mistaken them for servants. But now it seemed these people were the owners of the villa?
No wonder they had a diamond membership card — they were a trio of rich kids! But the more she thought about it, the more it infuriated Gou Huli! If you people are the owners here, then why didn't you speak up when I called you servants? Were you playing the pig to eat the tiger, deliberately making a fool of me?
"Hey, you — tell me, what's this Gu Mengyao's background?" Gou Huli beckoned over a security guard and demanded.
Though Gou Huli had only come to the management office the day before to transfer the villa's title, nearly everyone on the staff already knew this domineering woman — she had loudly proclaimed herself a wealthy lady from a great house in Yanjing, and went about pointing fingers at everyone, lording it over them like a crab gone sideways!
When she had come to do the paperwork the day before, it had happened to fall during the midday break, and Gou Huli had simply thrown a staff member's boxed lunch in the bin and ordered him to process her documents on the spot!
Against such a high-handed owner with connections, the management staff were utterly helpless. They couldn't afford to offend her, so they could only swallow their grievances.
"Gu Mengyao is the eldest daughter of the Gu Group..." This was common knowledge throughout the district, and the guard did not conceal it, telling Gou Huli straight out.
"What? She's the heiress of the Gu Group?" Gou Huli's eyes went wide the moment she heard the guard's words. "Are you telling me the truth?"
"It's true. Plenty of the homeowners in this complex know about it..." The guard had no idea why Gou Huli was reacting so strongly, but he did not dare ask.
