After seeing off the three visitors, Du Bingtian's anger had reached its peak.

He ignored his eldest daughter's rare moment of joy and disregarded the unusually relaxed atmosphere at home. He just snapped and lost his temper.

He believed that if they hadn't not sided with him this morning, he wouldn't have been treated so coldly.

Lin Meijuan quickly came out to comfort him. She told him that he didn't only have one eldest daughter, but three others. These three daughters were all quite good, especially their second daughter.

He also emphasized that Li Dakang had been sitting next to Du Yuan the whole day, so engrossed in their conversation that he hadn't even paid attention to what Jin Yan was saying.

Furthermore, from the moment Li Dakang entered the house, he never once asked why his eldest daughter wasn't there.

As for why Li Dakang immediately got up to leave after she returned, she believed it was a normal reaction for a young man meeting someone who might be his future father-in-law.

Despite Lin Meijuan's many words, Du Bingtian did not agree with them.

He admitted that he felt somewhat uneasy when he met his ex-wife's father. However, when he met Lin Meijuan's parents, he did not show the kind of reaction she described, where he was afraid to face them.

Lin Meijuan seemed to have also thought of Du Bingtian's condescending attitude when he met her parents. She quickly asked the second concubine what she thought.

The second concubine actually shared the same idea as Du Bingtian; she also failed to notice that Li Dakang showed any particular interest in Du Yuan.

They were seated together, that was how the Du family arranged it. He kept talking to Du Yuan because she was the one talking to him. As for not hearing Jin Yan's request to chat, she guessed it was because Li Dakang didn't want to listen to his endless rambling anymore.

The second concubine witnessed firsthand Li Dakang's genuine manners and etiquette when he tried to befriend her that day in the car. It's completely different from today.

But now she desperately hoped that Du Yuan wouldn't give up her love for Li Dakang. That way, she could discuss with the master how to talk to the Jin family and bring Du Rui and Jin Yan together.

Anyway, Du Shan not only looked down on Jin Yan, but even disliked him. As for their eldest daughter, she was probably raised by the old lady to be a proper young lady, so she didn't care much about these things.

Because of her own selfish motives, the second concubine quickly nodded in agreement with Lin Meijuan's words.

When young people get together, if it's hard to find subtle signs of affection, it's not difficult to exaggerate their behavior and make people mistakenly believe that they are interested in each other.

In the end, even Du Yuan herself was convinced that Li Dakang had fallen deeply in love with her.

Looking at his second daughter again, Du Bingtian felt that she wasn't much less attractive than his eldest daughter. In fact, she was even more trendy and fashionable than his eldest daughter. Perhaps young people today would like that kind of person after getting to know her.

So Du Bingtian used all his dissatisfaction to berate his eldest daughter.

Lin Meijuan and her daughter were very interested in this matter. They chatted back and forth, becoming more and more enthusiastic as they listened to Du Bingtian's story. Occasionally, the third concubine would even add fuel to the fire from the sidelines.

Du Jue and Du Wei exchanged a complicated look. They had already decided that if Xu Keke didn't return by five o'clock, they would go out to look for her.

Du Bingtian had already been persuaded and made up his mind. Today, after she returned, she would either proactively apologize to the Sun family and accept the marriage proposal, or she would be sent to the church's boarding school for the poor, where she could receive a proper education.

The idea of ​​sending her to a church school came from Dusan. In her view, it was the most terrible place in the world.

On the other side, Xu Keke, who had been considering whether ending her life would allow her to restart the mission, was released.

Not only that, Yan Shuo also personally drove her back to the Du family home.

Looking at Yan Shuo standing in the living room, Du Jue and Du Wei recognized him but didn't know his identity. Only Du Bingtian had the honor of seeing him at an expanded meeting, where he represented the Marshal and sat in the center of the stage.

After introducing himself, Yan Shuo said politely to Du Bingtian, "There was a misunderstanding today. We accidentally frightened your daughter while on a mission. So we took her to the hospital for observation for a while. We came in a hurry today, but I will come to your residence to apologize another day."

"No..." Du Bingtian, who was about to say no, quickly changed his words with a smile, "You're too kind, please have a seat."

Yan Shuo waved his hand, "Miss Du was too frightened today, let's have someone arrange for her to rest early."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Du Bingtian said "yes" three times, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. This was the young marshal! Everyone in the bureau who had dealt with him said that he was a man who rarely smiled. The last time he saw him, his eyes were gloomy and his face was cold, which scared him so much that he didn't dare to look at him for long.

But this same man was so considerate towards his eldest daughter. He spoke to her with such politeness. Du Bingtian felt that his eldest daughter had truly impressed him. She could easily become either a commissioner in Nanjing or a young marshal in the commander's office. If he had brought her back two years earlier, she might have been a bureau chief, or even a mayor.

Du Bingtian looked at his eldest daughter with loving eyes. Her face was indeed frighteningly pale; she truly looked like she had been frightened outside. And quite badly frightened at that.

Du Bingtian looked at Lin Meijuan with some disdain, "Why aren't you helping Ajin back to her room to rest? Can't you see she's not feeling well?"

Having learned from her previous experience, Lin Meijuan was no longer surprised by Du Bingtian's attitude towards her. Besides, the man standing next to Du Bingtian was someone even the Sun family in the city dared not offend.
