Chapter 500 Everything is fine (End)

He was an adult man in his early twenties, emaciated and pale. There was obviously nothing wrong with his legs, but he was so weak that he had to sit in a wheelchair.

The man pushed the wheelchair to Xiao Anrao and stopped, causing Xiao Anrao to look up at him curiously and call out, "Uncle, hello."

"Hello little boy, what are you doing sitting here?"

"I don't know either. I've been here for a long time, so long that I've forgotten why I'm here."

"Really? Uncle has just been here for a short time and doesn't know much about this place. Could you please help introduce it to me?"

"sure."

In the following time, the two chatted about many things, from small things like what color flowers she liked and what style of hair ties she liked to big things like which brother or sister in the neighborhood had the worst temper and which uncle would kick people into the river when he got angry.

I don’t know how long it was, but suddenly a loud shout came from the other side of the bridge, calling the child’s name.

Xiao Anrao stood up excitedly, his big eyes like black grapes widened with excitement.

"Uncle, I'm going to go over to the bridge."

"congratulations."

"Then uncle, I'll go first."

"Wait." The man handed the flowers he had been holding to Xiao Anrao, "This is a thank you gift for helping uncle familiarize himself with the environment just now."

"Thank you?"

"Yes, you did good things and helped others. Others will be grateful to you and give you gifts. These little flowers are the gifts from your uncle to thank you for your help."

Little An Rao didn't really understand what his uncle meant by these words. He tilted his head and looked at him for a long time, then blinked and said, "Then I will do more good deeds to help others in the future and be a good child that others are grateful for."

The little girl, who had received a gift for the first time in her life, asked the man to pin the flowers on her head, and then she skipped onto the bridge to the other side.

The little girl, whose mind and eyes were focused on the other side of the river, did not notice that not long after she left, the man suddenly asked a tall and strong man with a beard next to him, "Is there a fire?"

After getting a positive answer, the man got a small match. When the fire started, he put a red post on the match.

Du Anrao recognized at first glance that it was a brand new marriage certificate. The flames quickly devoured the certificate, and in the blink of an eye, the certificate turned into a pool of ashes.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the direction where Xiao Anrao left, and smiled: "May you have a harmonious family in your next life, kind parents, friendly brothers, grow up safely, and live a healthy life."

Duanrao's heart trembled violently when he heard these words, and he began to guess the identity of the person in front of him.

Before she could think more, the scene changed again and turned into the familiar mountains in her memory.

When I was five or six years old, I followed my master out to collect herbs, but on the way back I accidentally tripped and the herbs in the basket fell everywhere.

Xiao An picked up the flowers for a long time and found that one of the Ganoderma lucidum that she had picked with great effort was missing.

Just when she was at a loss, a voice came from behind her.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

Xiao Anrao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a younger brother, a few years older than her, walking out from behind the bushes not far away, against the light.

The young man had delicate features and a thin body. He was holding in his hand the Ganoderma lucidum that she had searched everywhere nearby for but couldn't find not long ago.

Xiao Anrao's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly stepped forward to take the things: "Yes, thank you brother!"

"You're welcome. Why are you, a little kid, in this remote place? Where are your parents?"

"My master is nearby, and this mountain belongs to us. It's not a remote place."

Young brother: “???” Who is this girl? The whole mountain belongs to her. Is she so arrogant?

Before he could think about it, he heard an old man's voice from afar: "Girl, go back."

"Hey, here it comes!"

Little Anrao responded loudly, glanced at the basket in his hand, thought for a moment, and handed the small wreath he had picked up from the medicinal herbs to his brother.

"Someone told me that if someone helps you, you should be grateful and think of ways to repay them. I give this to my brother as a thank you for helping me pick herbs. I hope my brother will be safe and sound in the future, and be happy and joyful."

This seemed to be the first time for this young man to receive a gift from a stranger. He was stunned for a moment and was hesitating whether to accept it when the voice of the old man not far away came again.

The little girl didn't bother to talk to him anymore. She stuffed the wreath into his hand, picked up the small basket and ran away happily. From a distance, he could see the little girl turning around and waving at him.

Duanrao looked at this scene and suddenly understood something.

It turns out...it turns out that the little girl who gave Mr. Xi his blessings when he was a child was actually me?

After being surprised, she felt helpless. What good would it be if she knew? She was almost dead.

But just as she was thinking this, a blinding light suddenly appeared before her eyes.

At the same time, the oppressive feeling of being buried alive was gradually disappearing, and even the restraints on the limbs were released.

Duan Rao quickly saw the true face of the bright light, his eyes slightly tightened in shock: "Why suddenly..."

The golden light of merit that came to save her at the last moment was the same golden light that had saved her twice before. However, unlike before, this golden light was thicker and more dazzling, and like a gurgling stream, it kept gathering on her from all directions, as if these merits had forged layers of thick armor for her to protect her from harm.

At the same time, a voice suddenly appeared in her mind. The voice was gentle and deep, like a mother singing a lullaby to coax her child to sleep.

Du Anrao heard her smile, and then asked the same question she had asked Wen Xia Nuan before: "Do you regret it?"

Du Anrao was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that what she was asking was whether he regretted changing the fate of so many people and allowing them to live well, but because of this he was targeted by heaven and very likely to lose his life.

She took a deep breath, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she thought of the tragic situation of the Du family members who were originally destined to die. When she opened her eyes again, there was only determination and resoluteness in her eyes.

"No, I don't regret it! Never!"

As she responded, the golden light enveloping her expanded further, swallowing her whole like the black smoke before.

The only difference was that in the black smoke she only felt cold and uncomfortable, but in this golden light, she felt warm all over and extremely comfortable.

At the same time, some images flashed before her eyes again.

After a busy day, Yang Jiantao returned home from the crew. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his daughter who had returned home two days earlier to surprise him without telling him. The father and daughter hugged each other in surprise, and under the warm light, the family gathered around the table for a simple but happy dinner.

Ye Zhihuan personally drove to pick up his sister Ye Mengzhen who had just returned from a trip. As soon as they met, they started to quarrel with each other. As they were arguing, they seemed to have thought of something and both started laughing.

Du Lianshuang brought her two children to dinner with Yin Bailu's family. After dinner, the two besties went shopping hand in hand and left the children to Liao Yuqian. Liao Yuqian was forced to stare at the three children and finally had to call his assistant for help.

Qiu Jichen specially found a time to go home and have dinner with his mother, and then suddenly mentioned that he had been getting close to a store manager of a branch store recently, and that the other party met his mate selection criteria. This shocked his mother, and after she recovered, she just said that she didn't care about anything else, as long as her daughter-in-law was a real girl, which made Qiu Jichen speechless and funny.

Zhang Ziqi, who had finally returned from abroad, immediately found Li Zimeng and his sister. After gossiping with them about Li Qianxi's fate, Li Zimeng shared with him the good news that his sister's eyes could be cured. Li Zishan also ruthlessly exposed the embarrassing fact that her brother wanted to take someone else's cabbage but was strictly prevented by his brother-in-law. The three young people tried to sabotage each other and fought.

Fu Sili returned home exhausted after finishing a notice. His grandparents cooked for him. Before dinner, his uncle brought back a gentle and elegant woman with a silly smile on her face.

Lu Chengzhang, who finally found his true love, was rejected for the Nth time. Lu Jiarou, who was standing not far away, held her forehead speechlessly, with a look of disappointment on her face. However, the unreliable brother-in-law Lu Lingyu had a look of gloating on his face.

Ji Weifeng won the lawsuit and was able to take his precious niece home with full legal standing. She was greeted by her amiable grandparents, sweet and warm cakes and milk tea, hugs and care, rather than cold beatings and insults.

The bright sunshine cast shadows of the trees. In the middle of the spacious courtyard, there were two rocking chairs placed side by side. On the chairs, two gray-haired old men held each other's hands tightly, interlaced their fingers, and smiled at each other.

Because of the children's affairs, my fourth and fifth aunts and their families, whose relationship has improved rapidly, have already bought a new house and now live a few steps away. When the children are out of school, they visit each other and have meals together. The adults eat and drink at the table, while the children make noise under the table, enjoying family time.

Mrs. Jiang wore the jewelry Du Anrao had given her before, and she kept talking about how she had planned to go shopping with Du's mother during the last Chinese New Year, but it didn't happen. They had to make another appointment to go out together. Jiang Younian also talked to his brother about what gifts he should bring for his sisters when they went on a trip with his classmates. Father Jiang listened to the brothers' discussion not far away. Although he held a newspaper in his hand, his smile never fell.

After finishing her studies for one semester, Li Yuesheng returned to China again. She was accompanied by Yue Yang, who accompanied her on the entire journey. As soon as they met, Li Zhaoyang was sarcastic to his former brother, but he could not stop his sister from turning her elbow outward. In the end, he could only hug his son for comfort. The family talked about each other's recent situation, and then looked forward to the new member of this family who would soon be coming soon in harmony and warmth.

…………

And her parents, brothers and sisters...

Everyone is fine, except her.

Does she regret it? No, she doesn't regret it. Everything she did was for the beauty in front of her. As long as these beautiful things are still there, all her efforts are meaningful.

More and more images appeared in front of Duanrao's eyes, and the light on her body became thicker and thicker.

Seeing that he had made one last attempt but still failed to take Du Anrao away, the Heavenly Dao Consciousness was so furious that it began to attack the merit shield on Du Anrao's body regardless of the consequences, but it was in vain.

More and more merits gathered around her like flowing water, and Duanrao also saw more and more people whose destinies were changed because of her existence.

Tang Qianqian, Zhang Kexin, Yu Chuhui, Mr. Liu, Ms. Qi, Duan Jingxing, Chen Yefang...

In the end, there were even people who were completely strangers to her.

Children in the mountains who were so hungry that their faces turned pale and their bodies were munching on the hot buns they had just received; adults and children who were so happy to see the light again that they cried; poor students who were admitted to good schools but worried about not being able to pay the tuition fees hugged and cried with their relatives after receiving the financial aid...

It was not until this moment that Duanrao finally understood where this huge amount of merit that was still flowing endlessly to him came from.

What Mr. Xi said turned out to be true. Spending money to do good deeds really could help her accumulate merits. These merits came just in time. It is no exaggeration to say that they saved her life!

Seeing this, the small ball that kept hitting her broke through her defenses, and her shrill and distorted screams could be heard even through the merit shield.

"Impossible, impossible. How can a man defeat the heaven? You are all just mortals with flesh and blood. Ants... How can an ant shake a giant tree? This is all fake, fake!"

"You look down on ordinary people, you look down on ants, but you don't know that ordinary people have a saying that goes, man can conquer nature! Those who save others will always be saved by others. I saved them in the beginning, and now they are returning the favor to save me. This is a two-way redemption. And you have only been alone from beginning to end, so you are doomed to fail!"

"Impossible, I don't believe it!"

After the little ball was stimulated, the impact force became stronger. It was so overwhelmed by anger that it did not notice that its small body was shrinking little by little due to the impact.

By the time it discovered it, the thing had already become the size of a marble. It was burned by the golden light of merit on Duanrao's body. It screamed and turned into a wisp of green smoke, just like the moth it had put into the oil pan before, without even leaving any ash.

Duanrao: “…” That’s it?

As if sensing her thoughts, the familiar laughter sounded again, and then Duan Rao felt a broad and warm hand falling on her head, gently touching her head.

"Your family is waiting for you, go back."

"Wait, I..."

Duanrao wanted to ask something else, but her shoulder suddenly felt heavy, pushing her forward.

Before she fell into someone's arms, she looked back and vaguely saw a blurry figure out of the corner of her eye, against the light, very beautiful and warm.

At the same time, in City B, where dark clouds covered the sky and it had been raining for a whole week, the water drops suddenly stopped falling.

The rolling dark clouds disappeared as suddenly as they had appeared in just a few minutes, and were replaced by golden legends pouring down from behind the snow-white clouds.

It's daybreak.

————

One year later, in an old, gray and dilapidated Taoist temple in Y Province.

"Master, you bastard, you just walked away without saying a word!"

Along with this familiar roar, the whole mountain shook.

Some villagers who had gone up the mountain early to pick wild vegetables heard the noise and subconsciously stood up and looked at the top of the mountain. Then they smiled at each other, squatted down as if they were used to it, and continued with their work.

In the video, after Duan Rao yelled at him, the camera was still shaking like a roller coaster, which could make people dizzy. Someone smiled awkwardly: "Didn't I lose a lot of energy helping you a year ago? I need to go out and travel a lot in order to accumulate spiritual power and return to my former peak?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but once he did, Duan Rao couldn't help but roll his eyes at him: "You were seriously injured a year ago, and you waited a year to run away from home. You're amazing."

"Hehe, I was worried that you might have some sequelae, so I endured my weakness and held on for a year. Now you have grown up, taller, not stupid anymore, strong, and eat delicious food. You can't delay Master from going out to play... No, go out to appreciate the beautiful scenery of our motherland."

Du Anrao: “…” Thank you so much!

A year ago, Duanrao was attacked by Li Qianxi and dragged into the private realm of Tiandao consciousness. When he came out, it was a week later.

A lot of things happened this week. Xi Yangjia and the people she brought with her were subdued and arrested for fleeing for fear of crime and trespassing to retaliate. This time, they are afraid that they will never be able to get out of here in their lifetime.

However, everyone in the Du family felt that this result was too light for her. What she had done was enough for her to be cut into pieces and die countless times!

They watched Du Anrao disappear before their eyes and frantically searched for her everywhere. The Du family members also went out together, those who had money contributed money, those who had strength contributed their strength. Everyone gathered in City B and searched every inch of land in City B. However, they only found Li Qianxi and Xi Jingyue who were abandoned in the wilderness on the third day.

It is worth mentioning that Li Qianxi was already dead when she was found. She had a congenital heart disease and her emotions could not fluctuate too much, otherwise she would easily develop a disease.

When she attacked Du Anrao that day, she was determined to die together with Du Anrao and burn her life in revenge. She was afraid that as soon as Du Anrao was taken away by the black smoke, she would fall ill and die. She was definitely a tool of the Heavenly Dao.

The appearance of the two people greatly stimulated the searchers. Just when they thought they had missed the target and were about to go somewhere else to continue looking for a needle in a haystack, Xi Jingyue, who had not yet fully recovered, went out and came back with the unconscious Du Anrao!

Du Anrao slept for another week after returning. If all the physical examinations were not normal and the doctor's conclusion was that he was just tired and sleeping soundly, the people in the Du family would have turned the world upside down without caring about anything.

Fortunately, everything was safe in the end. Duanrao woke up after getting enough sleep, and the Tiandao who had been playing tricks on himself and finally killed himself never appeared again. The earlier dangerous storms finally returned to calm. Everything rose up where no one knew, and returned to silence where no one knew.

Not long after waking up, Du Anrao returned to the small Taoist temple where she and her master lived, despite the resentful gazes of her family, and began the familiar chaotic and arduous practice.

Everything seemed to be back on track, continuing in an orderly manner, except...

"Mr. Xi, why are you here again?"

Du Anrao felt a strange mood as he looked at Xi Jingyue, who was wearing casual clothes and looked several years younger than his actual age.

"I heard that your Taoist temple is very effective, so I came here to pray to the gods and see you by the way."

"Is that so? Then what does Mr. Xi want to ask for in our Taoist temple?"

"Can you ask for anything in your Taoist temple?"

"I think so. It seems that their previous prayers were quite effective."

"What about marriage? Can I ask for it?"

Duanrao was stunned, looking at the person smiling at the bottom of the stairs. Her heart started beating wildly, and she covered her hands with fear.

[Damn it, why is my heart beating so fast? Could it be that I stayed up too late last night and my heart is not getting enough blood? Am I going to die suddenly? ]

Xi Jingyue: “…” Very good, still the familiar recipe, still the familiar taste.

This subtle teasing, coupled with Duanrao's inner voice, made the two parties so embarrassed that they wanted to dig their toes into the ground.

But in the eyes of others, it just looked like someone had made a subtle confession of love, and the two of them were looking at each other affectionately across the stairs.

The bodyguard employed by the Du family hid in the bushes nearby and conscientiously took a photo of the scene. He then sent it to the Du family group, along with the alarmist and exaggerated summary of "Mr. Xi confessed his love to Miss Gen", which instantly set off the entire group.

Du Junyan: "Oh, it seems that the recent news about the Xi family being investigated is not groundless. Otherwise, how could Mr. Xi, who is so busy with all kinds of affairs, have the time to run to the wilderness and dream?"

Du Hexuan: "This guy has evil intentions and wolfish ambitions. He just sees An An as innocent and ignorant of the world, so he deliberately deceives her. No, I have to go there immediately and I can't let him succeed!"

Du Yihan: "If I had known this a year ago, I would have given him a few more injections. He must be idle to be hanging around in broad daylight."

Du Yuxi: "Brothers, calm down. Be careful not to end up making things worse than they actually are."

Brothers: “…” You know how heartbreaking it is. After all, this little cotton-padded jacket is also leaking!

Of course, the one who had the biggest reaction came from the old father who was afraid that his cabbages would be eaten by pigs.

"I don't agree. An An isn't even of legal marriage age yet. What does the Xi family kid want to do? He's a beast in human form, a beast in human clothing, dirty, obscene, and disgusting!"

Du's mother: "..." This is the legal age for marriage. You, an old man, are really thinking too far ahead.

"Alright, alright, your opinion is not important. An An's opinion is important. Just like Yu Xi said, you guys, stop making trouble. Don't come back and cry to me after you lose more than you gain."

Father Du was immediately hit hard: "How can you be so ungrateful? Hey, didn't you think that the boy from the Xi family was a piece of shit before, and didn't want An An to associate with him? Why did you suddenly change?"

"Before, I was worried that An An would worry about that ghost marriage, and that she would be deceived by someone."

It would have been fine if Du's mother hadn't said anything. After hearing this, Du's father became even more puzzled: "Aren't you afraid that she'll be cheated now?"

"Now?" Du's mother smiled. "It's the same now. I'm still worried that she's been cheated, but..."

"But what?"

"But for someone who is willing to invest all his wealth in you, it's not impossible to take a gamble."

What Du's mother said was that on the eve of Du Anrao's accident, Xi Jingyue went deep into the Du family group and gathered the strength of many people in the family to implement Du Anrao's plan to donate money to earn merit.

At that time, the relatives in the family all took out some money, more or less, and asked Xi Jingyue to donate it in the name of their daughter An An to help her accumulate merit.

But later they found out that not only they, Du Anrao's blood relatives, but Xi Jingyue also invested money, and he invested all the liquid funds he could raise at that time.

After Du's mother learned about this, her attitude towards Xi Jingyue changed. Regardless of whether the two children could achieve a happy ending in the future, his sincerity alone was enough for the children to give him a chance.

The old saying is right, to tell whether a man loves you or not, you don’t need to look at anything else, just look at whether he is willing to spend money on you.

When Father Du heard Mother Du mention this, he was silent for a long time, then he snorted proudly: "He likes An An, but An An may not like him. I think An An is young and has been staying in the mountains all the time, so I haven't thought about it in that way at all."

"Now I know that An An hasn't figured it out yet. You are just worrying too much. As the saying goes, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Our An An is very smart. You should stay out of this matter."

Father Du opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he held it back.

Du Anrao and the others were unaware of the bustle of the Du family at that time.

After the initial embarrassment, Xi Jingyue decisively chose to change the subject and skip over this matter, and the topic he chose happened to be one that Duanrao would definitely be interested in at the moment.

"You returned to the mountain after you woke up. I guess you don't understand a lot of things that happened afterwards?"

Duan Rao's radar immediately stood up: "What happened back there?"

Xi Jingyue's lips curled slightly: "It's mainly about those male and female protagonists and our family's affairs."

"The male and female protagonists specifically refer to..."

"Those are the ones who are under guard, the ones with special abilities."

"What happened to them?"

"Nothing. The higher-ups decided to give them a lighter sentence because they made meritorious contributions at the last minute. But they can escape the death penalty, but they can't be pardoned for their crimes. For what they did in private before, they will be locked up for a few years at least. When they get out, I'm afraid they will be guarded by someone for the rest of their lives."

Du Anrao was not surprised by this result. Although these people, especially Miss Guo, did cooperate and make some contributions that were beneficial to the situation, this could not erase the evil deeds they had done before. Moreover, their cooperation was nothing more than succumbing to reality, and how much of their willingness was still debatable.

In a way, their very existence is a threat that needs to be paid special attention to, and this result is quite humane and merciful.

"Then there is Mr. Xiao Jinhang. He was arrested for instructing Miss Wen to steal your third brother's research results. He was later sentenced for endangering national security. He may have to stay in prison for the rest of his life. After his parents found out, they decisively gave up on him and quickly cut ties with him. They have now turned to raising other children. As for Miss Wen..."

"What's wrong with her?"

Duan Rao was actually most concerned about Wen Xia Nuan's situation. When other people were targeted by the Heavenly Consciousness, they would only be bewitched in their minds for a few words, but she was actually controlled for a period of time. Now that the Heavenly Consciousness has disappeared, what about her...

"According to what they said, Miss Wen's condition has improved a lot since you were found. She has not been unconscious or controlled in the past year. And just a month ago, someone took her away."

"who?"

Xi Jingyue said nothing, just looked at her with a half-smile.

Duanrao frowned, a little confused, and then a light bulb went off in his head and he suddenly thought of something.

"Could it be...her?"

A month ago, in a suburban courtyard in City B, Wen Xia Nuan sat under the shade of a tree, looking up at the complicated leaves above her head, wondering what she was thinking.

As the sound of gentle footsteps approached, Wen Xia Nuan initially thought it was the doctors and researchers who came to check on her on a daily basis, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

But after waiting for a long time and not seeing the man approaching, Wen Xia Nuan realized that something was wrong.

She turned her head and saw a familiar tall figure standing under the mottled shadows of the trees. There was even a very familiar smile on his face that she remembered.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time from a distance of several meters. The newcomer spoke first and only asked: "Will you come with me?"

Wen Xia Nuan wanted to laugh, but tears fell first. She heard herself say, "Okay."

【What the hell! 】

After listening to Xi Jingyue's description, Duanrao couldn't help but curse in his heart. However, there was no negative emotion in this curse, but more shock and excitement!

"You just said that the person who took Miss Wen away was named Bai."

"Yes, she also has an English name, Lina."

“It’s her indeed!”

"Is there something wrong with her?"

After such a long time, Du Anrao had already accepted that Xi Jingyue could hear her thoughts, and said truthfully: "She is Xiao Jinhang's white moonlight, the one he always wanted!"

"It turned out to be her." Although Xi Jingyue had already guessed it in his heart, he still showed surprise at the right time, "But she seems to have a good relationship with Miss Wen..."

"That's for sure. Xiao Jinhang likes her, but she doesn't like Xiao Jinhang. Or rather, she doesn't like any of her suitors. They are all just fish in her pond, hanging around to help her career and give her money. Only Miss Wen, they have similar temperaments and personalities. Although they have some different views on marriage, it doesn't affect them working together to build their careers and become excellent partners and besties."

Of course, this only applies to the two people in the original work. The two in the fan fiction who pulled their hair out for a man and directly turned from career-minded to love-minded are not counted.

When Du Anrao saw Wen Xia Nuan for the first time, he guessed that this was her situation, and whether the Sea King Bai Yueguang who was still far away abroad was also in this situation.

Now it seems that my guess was correct!

Today's Wen Xia Nuan has returned to her original Wen Xia Nuan, and this Miss Bai has also returned to the Miss Bai with whom she had a revolutionary friendship for many years!

"They just let Miss Bai take her away like that?"

"Miss Bai proposed to use her latest research results in exchange for Miss Wen's freedom. Miss Wen's condition is now stable. You also said before that if possible, you also hope that after everything is settled, there will be a chance for her to come out and take care of her grandmother in person."

"The final result of the discussion between the two parties was that they agreed that Miss Bai would use her research results to exchange for Miss Wen, but within a certain period of time, Miss Wen still needs to accept their secret observation and regular examinations."

“That’s good enough.”

"Yes, so after this matter was finalized, Miss Bai immediately took Miss Wen away. Now Miss Wen lives with her grandmother and Miss Bai in an apartment in the city."

[I hit it, I hit it. Sure enough, career-minded people should be with career-minded people. Xiao Jinhang, that damn scumbag, should stand aside! Stop disturbing others, little sister! ]

Xi Jingyue shook his head and laughed: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing."

"What's up?"

"It's about your second brother."

"My second brother?" Duan Rao widened her eyes in surprise. Could her second brother be doing something weird again?

"His agency has changed its owner."

"Change of boss? Who did he change to?"

"You also know that Miss Gong."

"Miss Gong, which Miss Gong?"

"It's... the palace of the old palace."

"Puff..." Duanrao suddenly felt attacked by the memory of death, but thanks to this attack, she finally remembered who Xi Jingyue was talking about.

"Gong...Jinyuan?"

"Yes, that's her."

Duan Rao was really shocked this time: "How did she become my second brother's immediate superior?"

She has been off the internet for too long. How much of the plot has she missed?

It turned out that after they met with Gong Jinyuan about the incident in which Li Yuesheng injured Gong Haoming that day, the eldest lady Gong, who had been pua for more than 20 years, seemed to suddenly figure it out.

Not long after, she left the Gong family at the cost of severing her father-daughter relationship with Gong Changjun and completely giving up her family inheritance rights.

Having lost their eldest daughter's sacrificial charge, Gong Changjun's family had no power to fight back against the fierce attacks from other heirs, and were soon depleted.

It was not until this time that they realized how capable their eldest daughter was and how much she had protected them from the storms. Unfortunately, it was too late for them to regret. They wanted to find Gong Jinyuan, but she didn't even want to meet them.

"It is worth mentioning that half a year ago, a young master of the Gong family suddenly appeared and was airborne to take up an important position in the company."

"Gong Jixing?"

"It's him."

In the original plot, he waited until the other heirs had finished fighting before appearing, and directly stepped on Gong Changjun's family as a stepping stone to pick the peaches.

Now it seems that Gong Jinyuan's departure has disrupted Mr. Gong's plan, making him unable to find a suitable shield for a while. He is also worried that other heirs will get out of control, so he has to play Gong Jixing, the last hidden card, in advance.

"What do you think of him...? Compared to Gong Jinyuan."

"After being taught by Master Gong for such a long time, I do have some skills. It's a pity..."

"What a pity?"

"He has more theory than practice. And judging from the current business model of the Gong family company, Miss Gong is obviously more suitable to be the company's decision maker than him. Although the management philosophy of the older generation can stabilize the company in the short term, it is not conducive to long-term development in the future. If this continues, the Gong family will still be unable to reverse its decline and will soon fall."

"That is to say, he, the heir, is far less outstanding than Miss Gong."

"Miss Gong acquired three companies in just one year after leaving the Gong family, one of which was your second brother's agency. Let's not talk about other companies for now. Your second brother's company is considered a long-established leading company in the industry. She was able to quietly acquire such a large company without any subsequent disputes. Her strength should not be underestimated. Mr. Gong gave up her to train Gong Jixing, which was just picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons."

Duanrao smiled and thought that this was a good thing. Free from such a suffocating family, her future was so bright that no one could hide it.

Since some things do not exist, there is no need to desire them. There are many more beautiful things in this world that are worth her striving for.

"Having said so much, what's going on with your family?"

"Nothing much, it's just that the family has been a bit uneasy in the past year. Seventy to eighty percent of the relatives were taken away for investigation and never returned."

Duan Rao: “???”

A year ago, Xi Yangjia was arrested directly for the sneak attack on Du Anrao, but in fact, she was already mentally unwell when she was arrested. With the help of her mental illness as a golden ticket to immunity from death, she was able to save her life.

However, the Du family was not very satisfied with this result, so the other members of the Xi family became their main targets of revenge.

Du Yuxi had not forgotten that when the Xi family was offering sacrifices to their ancestors, her sister An An had counted the crimes of each household in the Xi family and kept saying that she would report them one by one after a while and add to the achievements of her cousin.

My younger sister is too busy and has temporarily forgotten about this matter, so as her elder sister, she has to help remember it.

Just like that, the Xi family's lawless criminals met their demise. One by one, they were all caught, without even a single one escaping.

It is important to mention that the person who arrested was indeed Du Bixiao.

The place where the Xi family lived did not fall under Du Bixiao's jurisdiction, so logically it was not her turn to take action. However, her superiors took into account the contributions Du Anrao had made before, and Du Yuxi had repeatedly emphasized when reporting that these things were "seen" by Du Anrao, and were not her credit.

After Du Anrao woke up, she returned to the mountain and ignored worldly affairs. The officials wanted to thank her but couldn't find a way, so they simply regarded this as a favor and gave it to Du Bixiao.

In response, Du Bixiao said: "It's my turn to be my freeloader this year. Mm, it smells so good!"

Du Anrao didn't expect that so many things would happen after she left, and her family didn't tell her about these things.

While I was happy for my cousin, I couldn't help but worry about the people in front of me: "Will their arrest have a big impact on you?"

"Not much. After I knew what they did in private, I had already made preparations and cut ties with them in advance. Although as a relative, my reputation was inevitably affected, but overall, the damage was not great. And because I helped a little with what happened a year ago, I was officially recognized. Some subsequent company projects received some support and bonuses, and I recovered quickly."

Duan Rao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

"But there is something that really bothers me right now."

"What is it?"

Xi Jingyue lowered his eyes and began to act pitiful.

"What happened a year ago has used up all my savings. My grandfather thought I was impulsive and unfit to manage the company and took back my inheritance rights. My parents disliked me for not being able to take over the company smoothly, which forced them to work hard at their old age. They were busy with work and were too busy with building a new trumpet to take care of me. I've been kicked out of the house, I'm homeless, penniless, and miserable. Can you take me in?"

Du Anrao: "..." Do you want to listen to what you are saying? You are relying on your parents and grandfather not being here to refute you, so you can only let you smear them at will and suffer this loss in silence, right? When they find out about this, let's see how they will punish you. Being kicked out of the house is the least of their punishment!

That’s what they say, but it’s true that he spent all his savings to help her accumulate merit.

Du Anrao was silent for a while, and finally cleared his throat. Facing Xi Jingyue's expectant gaze, he said awkwardly: "We have a rule in our Taoist temple that we don't easily receive outsiders to stay overnight."

The light in Xi Jingyue's eyes dimmed instantly after hearing this, and then he heard Duanrao add: "But my master ran away, and I have to do all his work. I'm too busy to take care of other things. The temple just happens to be in need of a disciple to do the daily cleaning..."

Xi Jingyue, who instantly understood Duanrao's hidden meaning, was pleasantly surprised and said without thinking, "I can do it. I work very efficiently and will definitely satisfy you."

"In that case, then come in." Du Anrao said as he turned and walked in. Listening to the footsteps coming from behind him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Maybe, it's not bad now.

On the mountain top above the Taoist temple, the breeze was blowing gently, the birds were singing, and the weather was as good as when she came down the mountain that year.
