Chapter 150 Sweating

Duanrao also felt that his mother's words were exaggerating.

"Mr. Qiu and his team are interested in my second brother's fashion potential, which has little to do with me."

Du's mother glanced at her indulgently, and the smile on her face deepened, as if to say: Okay, whatever you say is what it goes.

"An An and..." Aunt Wu wanted to ask Du Anrao if he knew Mr. Qiu from Yayu Group, but when the words were about to come out of her mouth she realized something was wrong and quickly stopped.

"Does An An know anyone from the Ya Yu Group?"

"I have met her several times and had the honor of helping Ms. Qiu of Yayu Group to tell fortunes for her son."

Du's mother also agreed with a smile, "Because of this, Chairman Qiu even gave both sisters a set of valuable jewelry as a thank you gift."

"There's actually such a thing! An An is so amazing!"

Duan Rao chuckled and said, "It was all just luck."

[But since my second cousin works at Yayu Group, this matter will be much easier to handle. I will call Mr. Qiu later to ask where this boss of my second cousin came from. If it really doesn't work, I will ask him to help my second cousin change departments so that she won't be harmed by that woman again. Well, I will just consider it as a favor to him. At most, I can help him with his marriage and career.]

The second cousin's wife was really touched. This was clearly the first time they met and they had only exchanged a few words, but the other party treated her so sincerely, considered her in everything, and even owed her a favor.

This is a hundred times better than some so-called friends and relatives who have been friends for decades and say they are doing it for your own good, but in fact they are afraid that you will live a better life than them.

In just a short while, the second cousin's wife fully understood why her parents-in-law had been praising their newly recognized little cousin so much after the birthday party, and talked about her every day.

But, didn't they come here to give gifts to express their gratitude? Why did it seem like I owed someone a favor again?

The second cousin's wife subconsciously turned her head to look at her husband, only to find that he was already sweating profusely.

The second cousin suddenly realized that he might not be able to continue to be so inactive. Otherwise, with the little achievements he and cousin Bixiao have now, let alone helping their little cousin and protecting her, it would be good enough if they don’t ask her for help and hold her back!

"Well, you guys sit down for a while, I'm going to make a phone call." Du Anrao was also impatient, and he did what he said. He immediately stood up and called Qiu Jichen.

It happened to be the weekend, and Qiu Jichen and a few friends went out on a luxury cruise ship for a party and some sea fishing.

When Du Anrao called, Qiu Jichen's fishing rod shook. Just as he was about to hook the fish, the sound of the ring scared him so much that his hand shook and the fish ran away.

"Whose cell phone rang? My fish ran away. Please compensate me now."

"You are blaming the rod for not being able to catch any fish. That's enough. It was your phone that was ringing. We are lucky we didn't ask you to pay for it."

Only then did Qiu Jichen realize that it was the cell phone in his shirt pocket that was ringing. He frowned and looked at the caller ID. His expression froze instantly and he quickly stood up and ran to answer the call.

"Hello, Master Du, I'm sorry, I was delayed for a while just now. I kept you waiting. What's the matter with you calling me at this time?"

It was the first time for the friends who came with Qiu Jichen to see him so excited and flattering. As soon as he left, they gathered together and started whispering.

"What's going on? Who is calling Young Master Qiu? Is it his Empress Dowager who is making him so nervous?"

"What Empress Dowager? I just heard it. Her last name seems to be Du, and she called me Master..."

"Master Du? I haven't heard of any famous Master Du coming to J City recently? There is a Miss Du, and she seems to be the second Miss that the Li family just adopted."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on Xie Jingyao who was in a daze in the corner.

"Jingyao, you and that Miss Li Er..."

Xie Jingyao had already thought of the previous incident and someone because of Qiu Jichen's just now calling him "Master Du", and he was awakened as if from a dream when he heard these words.

"Just friends."

"Really... just friends?"

The few people sitting closest to Xie Jingyao had some friendship with him. They looked at each other with mockery on their faces.

These people are more familiar with Xie Jingyao and know more about the affairs of the Xie and Li families.

Xie Jingyao cared so much about Li Qianxi before. With his personality, even if the truth was exposed and Li Qianxi was really not a child of the Li family, he would not ignore her like he does now. Instead, he would be friends with the newly recognized Miss Li Er.

It seems that there are some things here that outsiders don’t know.

They were all thousand-year-old foxes, so Xie Jingyao didn't want to play Liao Zhai with them. He just kindly reminded them, "Stay away from that woman Li Qianxi, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you if she eats you to the bone."

"Hahahaha, I know, I know. We are not that stupid kid from the Zhang family who believes everything others say and makes such a big joke. If I were his parents, I would be sick to death."

Thanks to Ye Meng's hard work in publicity, everyone in J City knew that the young master of the Zhang family was sold and paid money. Because of Li Qianxi's instigation, they ran to the home of the real adoptive parents of the second daughter of the Li family in S City, and exposed the matter of the two Miss Du's marriage swap in front of the full house of guests attending the birthday party of the two Misses Du, making a huge fool of themselves.

After returning home, Young Master Zhang kept himself to himself for half a month. Later, he became the second seed of Li Qianxi's fan-turned-haters. Whenever he heard people mention the name Li Qianxi, he would get nervous and wished to completely erase this person from his life.

This matter, together with the fact that the Li family welcomed back the real second daughter and doted on her in every way, was talked about with great relish by the upper class and wealthy families in J city. The endless discussions have not yet completely subsided.

When Xie Jingyao heard him say this, his face twitched uncontrollably twice, and he felt that he seemed to have been injured accidentally.

After all, he had been biased in listening to Li Qianxi before. If Duanrao's words had not been so unbelievable and the bloody truth was not laid out before him, he might still be kept in the dark.

Even if he was deceived, he certainly would not be as impulsive as that Young Master Zhang, who went to the door just after being provoked and started a fight with the owner. It was simply stupid.

"As for the Li family, I suggest you don't provoke him. Even if you are not on good terms with him, don't offend him. Otherwise..."

It would have been better if Xie Jingyao hadn't said this, but his words aroused the curiosity of everyone present.

"What would happen otherwise?"

"Otherwise, those brothers and sisters in their family are not easy to mess with." Xie Jingyao once again recalled the scene of his first meeting with the two sisters, and their attitude towards him outside the Li family's courtyard that day.

He smiled bitterly and took a sip of the red wine in his hand, and said meaningfully: "Did you see Mr. Qiu's reaction just now? Don't ask him for help when the time comes, he won't even bother to pay attention to you."
