No matter how unbelievable it may seem to outsiders, the invitation has already reached Du Zhao's hands.
Du Zhao himself was completely bewildered.
The Du family was half happy and half apprehensive.
“Xiao Zhao,” it was the shrewd old man, Mr. Du, who finally said, “I think this invitation is largely aimed at the Cui family.”
"Dad, do the people from Zunjue Group have a grudge against the Cui family?" Du Zhao asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Your information is still not up-to-date enough," Old Master Du chuckled. "I've heard that the real boss behind the Zunjue Group is likely that Lord Jue."
Du Zhao couldn't help but gasp: "Is this news accurate?"
"It's pretty close." Old Master Du stroked his beard.
“If that’s the case, then it makes sense,” Du Zhao nodded.
“So, Xiao Zhao, this is an opportunity.” Old Master Du patted his son’s shoulder. “It’s an opportunity for the Du family to reach new heights.” He paused for a moment. “And if I’m not mistaken, there’s probably a reason for this, because Du Juan was involved. After all, she had a pretty good relationship with her sister-in-law back then.”
"Dad, I know what to do." Du Zhao nodded.
Just then, a servant knocked on the door, saying that Old Master Cui of the Cui family had come to visit.
"Look, they're probably here because of the invitations." Old Master Du chuckled. "Go ahead, just tell them I'm not feeling well."
Du Zhao got up and walked out.
When Cui Zhanyi saw Du Zhao come out on his own, his expression turned rather unpleasant. In the past, it was always that old man Du Huai who was always busy coming out, but now... well, he wouldn't bother with such a favor for now.
"Old Master Cui, is there something you need at this hour?" Du Zhao asked the servant to serve tea, and then sat down.
“Xiao Zhao, we’re family by marriage after all. Xiao Peng was wrong before, and I’ve already disciplined him.” Cui Zhanyi sighed. “Over the years, we’ve always treated Du Juan like our own daughter…”
"Heh." Du Zhao sneered. "A biological daughter? Have you ever seen any biological parents who would know their son is messing around outside and not only not stop him but also help cover it up?"
Cui Zhanyi's face immediately turned awkward.
“Although our Du family is not as powerful as the Cui family, our daughter is not someone you can mistreat,” Du Zhao said, standing up. “Old Master Cui, please.”
"Xiao Zhao." Cui Zhanyi felt like a junior was rubbing his face on the ground, but he couldn't just throw a tantrum and walk away. "We've known each other for years, you can't just..."
"When Cui Peng was keeping a mistress, when you knew about your son's behavior and not only did you not stop him but you even helped cover it up, when things were exposed you asked my cousin to be patient... those relationships were long gone..."
Cui Zhanyi was speechless.
"I never imagined my ex-brother-in-law was so amazing, having threesomes every day," Du Zhao said sarcastically. "Doesn't he find it disgusting?" He then turned and walked inside, saying, "Aunt Zhang, see the guest out."
Cui Zhanyi's face finally broke down, turning as black as ink, and he could only leave the Du family in a sorry state.
"What the hell?" Zhao Xin was walking in when she spat at Cui Zhanyi's back.
Cui Zhanyi naturally heard it and stumbled. Aunt Zhang quickly caught him, saying, "Grandpa Cui, be careful, don't fall."
