Chapter 197 What confusing remarks?

The person who spoke was none other than Ms. Qiu, the chairman who had come in a hurry with her son.

"I was just helping backstage with Ji Chen. When I learned that you were coming, I was planning to greet you in person, but something went wrong and delayed us a bit..."

"It's okay, you're busy, we're just walking around and looking around, and we're ready to go in."

Although the experience in the jewelry store that day was not a pleasant one, Duan Rao was not an unreasonable person. He knew that the mother and son could not be blamed for this. Not to mention that he had been well prepared and had announced his identity in advance so that all the employees in the franchise store knew of his presence. He had done his best to be considerate of everything.

Unfortunately, when there are so many people under you, there will always be one or two weirdos who insist on going against others. When encountering such employees who hold things back, the boss will probably be very desperate.

Ms. Qiu heard that Du Anrao's tone had not changed much from before, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a faint smile, "Ms. Du, did you see any items that interested you in the exhibition hall? I'll take a picture of them and give them to you later. It will be our apology gift for what happened in the franchise store a few days ago."

"No need. It's not your fault in the first place. There's no need to give me a gift because of this. Besides, Mr. Qiu has already sent me an invitation, so let's just forget about it. It's just..."

"only?"

"But if I want to take some pictures later and don't have enough money, can I borrow some from you?" Du Anrao said while playfully winking at Ms. Qiu.

Ms. Qiu was stunned for a moment, then she completely relaxed and said with a smile, "How can I let you go back empty-handed if I can interest Miss Du?"

"It's settled then!"

Duanrao made an OK gesture to her, and then both of them couldn't help laughing.

The atmosphere between the two was so harmonious that the guests who had originally planned to wait and see became inexplicably agitated.

"Is that Mr. Qiu?"

"Mr. Qiu? Which Mr. Qiu?"

"It's the chairman of the Yayu family, Mr. Qiu."

"It's actually her! Why does she seem to be very familiar with that girl? Could it be because of... Master Jiu?"

"And the one behind her seems to be Mr. Yu from Yucheng Industrial and his eldest son. Yucheng Industrial is the largest construction company in City B. I heard that most of their projects are in cooperation with the government. How could such a big boss know a little girl? And he was so nice to her, it must be because of Master Jiu."

"You only know the two older ones. How come no one noticed the young man who had been with her just now?"

"That young man? Who is that young man?"

"That's the young master of the Xi family in City A, the heir to the Xi Group!"

"What? Xi family? That Xi family?"

Upon hearing this surname, many people present couldn't help but gasp. Although the Xi family's base is not in City B, this does not affect the fact that 70 to 80 percent of the upper class in City B know of its existence.

It is said that this is a large family that has been around for hundreds of years, with a profound heritage. Its descendants are spread across all walks of life, and each of them is an elite among elites. The wealth accumulated over generations is frighteningly high. The Xi family has always been low-key and does not like to participate in any asset rankings, otherwise their ranking on the rich list would have to change.

Such a person, at this moment, was standing next to a wild girl who was said to have come from the countryside, smiling gently and harmlessly, like a brother next door. It was really hard not to think too much.

Du Tianci watched from afar as those seemingly powerful family bosses gathered around Du Anrao and chatted with him, his eyes turning red with jealousy.

"Second Grandfather is too partial. We are obviously his closest relatives, but he gave all the good things to this wild girl who appeared out of nowhere!"

His contempt for Du Anrao herself and the speculations of his guests have made him completely certain that the reason why Du Anrao was involved with these big shots was entirely because of Du Desheng's behind-the-scenes matchmaking, rather than her own connections.

Du Weilu's face was also very ugly. He obviously thought the same thing as his youngest son: "Your second grandfather is old, and the older he gets, the more confused he becomes. He is easily deceived by some people with ulterior motives and makes some absurd decisions. As his closest blood relatives in this world, we have the responsibility to stop him when he makes a mistake."

Du Weilu's words were so high-sounding that those who didn't know him would think he was a filial young man who cared about his elders. Fortunately, Du Anrao was far away at the time and didn't hear the discussion between the father and son at all, otherwise he would have given them four words: shameless!

While talking with Ms. Qiu and the others, time had unknowingly reached eight o'clock. Jiang Changbin winked at Yu Qingting under the pretext of going to the restroom, and the two of them left for a while before entering the venue.

When he came back, his cousin had already grasped all the gossip that Duan Rao had been curious about.

It turned out that Yu Yaqi was caught in the process of implementing the plan. When Yu Chuhui was about to drink the spiked drink, Yu Qingting appeared in time with Yu's father and showed them the paternity test that he had secretly done in front of the mother and daughter. The timing was just right!

When Yu Yaqi saw the paternity test, she lost her composure on the spot, fell to her knees in tears, hugged Yu's father's legs and begged him not to kick her out of the house.

After all, he had loved his little daughter for more than 20 years, so Yu's father almost softened his heart. Yu Qingting and his sister naturally could not let him be deceived any longer, so they immediately exposed Yu Yaqi's true face and suggested taking the cup of adulterated drink for testing.

Yu Yaqi saw that the situation was hopeless and was unwilling to give in. However, her mother was easily emotional and held back. When she saw that the truth was revealed, she simply gave up and attacked everyone.

Not to mention Du Anrao, even Jiang Changbin was a little confused when he heard Yu Qingting talking about this: "This Madam Yu, oh no, it should be said that the ex-madam is also a talent. Not only did she open her face in front of her husband and express her deep affection for the male mistress, she also blamed Qingting's father for delaying her..."

"What kind of confusing statement is this?" Du Anrao was shocked. "Mr. Yu is the victim, right? She is the perpetrator and now blames the victim for delaying her? Delaying her for what? Delaying her from letting herself go and becoming someone's mistress."

"Isn't that right? I suspect she..." Jiang Changbin pointed to his head to express his suspicion that Mrs. Yu might have some problems with her brain.

"Anyway, Uncle Yu was very angry about this matter, so he had someone draft a divorce agreement and let the woman sign it before letting them go. Oh, and Uncle Yu also moved Chu Hui's sister's household registration out, and changed her last name so that she would have the same last name as her mother."
