He was always worried that the child might do something drastic, or that she might get stuck in a rut. If she couldn't even figure things out at work, she would have an even harder time in her personal life.

“I’m not questioning you, I’m just concerned about your work. Your abilities are still limited. Even if you’re excellent, you need to improve further. People say that there’s no end to learning. You can’t be complacent at this point. You understood the principle that there are always people better than you and mountains beyond mountains when you were a child.”

Du Zhiwei's face was almost frozen from smiling.

She was somewhat speechless.

"Grandpa, this is favoritism! You say you didn't question me, but how can that not be questioning? Why don't you question other people's abilities? You're lenient with outsiders but ruthless with your own family. I think you clearly look down on me. But looking down on me is useless. I am the most promising of the younger generation in our family. Sooner or later, I will let you know that I am definitely the most outstanding descendant of the entire Du family!"

Even though the gap between her and Xie Zhiyan is widening, she still holds her own in her field.

Old Du stared at him, his face full of disappointment and frustration.

"You're such a blockhead. Forget it, I'm too lazy to even talk to you. You know it in your heart."

After he finished speaking, he turned to leave, but Du Zhiwei seemed to suddenly remember something and immediately jogged after him.

"Wait a minute, Grandpa. There's a Chinese man who was just brought in. He's also surnamed Du and his name is Du Chenzhou. He can't possibly have any connection with our ancestors, can he? His identity is still unclear. You'd better not tell me that this has implicated our family."

Old Du picked up his water glass and lightly slapped it on her arm. "You little rascal, what's your brain made of? There are so many people with the surname Du in this world, how did you suddenly become associated with us? What do you think of our ancestors? Were they dandelions spreading everywhere? Even if you wanted to be associated with them, they might not recognize you."

Xiao Zhou was struggling to suppress his laughter; his face was practically contorted with mirth.

Comrade Du Zhiwei sometimes has a very peculiar way of thinking, but she is mostly focused on her career and so far it hasn't caused any problems in her life.

Her active and creative thinking sometimes does indeed come in handy in translation.

Du Zhiwei reluctantly pouted, "It would be best if there really was no connection. I'm just worried that there might be some immoral person in our ancestors who has been promiscuous. Men are ultimately unreliable. There are countless examples of men giving birth wherever they go, so my worries are not unfounded."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left gracefully, leaving Old Du alone with a soaring blood pressure.

His face turned green. "This is outrageous! This child is becoming more and more lawless! Please forgive me, ancestors!"

The car stopped, and Xie Zhiyan went to his workplace to report on his work first, while Shu Ying rushed home.

Before she even reached her doorstep, she saw a large crowd gathered at the alley entrance, with people glancing in her direction from time to time. Finally, a figure appeared under the dim streetlights on the bridge, and Shu Ying vaguely heard Liu Xiulan's voice.

"They're back, they're back, everyone can stop worrying."

As she spoke, she was the first to walk over.

"Yingying, where did you go just now? Were you scared?"
