Chapter 267 What if I insist on confronting her?
"Why are you here?" Du Desheng seemed to be very familiar with them. Seeing their surprised faces, he took the initiative to greet them.
The leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties, wearing simple casual clothes, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and clear facial features. Even at his age, one could still glimpse some of his good looks when he was young.
"You, the protagonist, have been away for so long, can't we come over to take a look?" The man said, glancing at the onlookers and Mrs. Kou, "I didn't expect that we would see such a good show once we got here."
Duanrao's gaze swept over the few people and his eyes narrowed slightly.
[Who are these people? They have so many merits. This is the first time I have seen so many merits in others.]
Although she had seen similar golden light of merit on Du Bixiao's body before, her merit was nothing compared to those of these people. The light was so bright that she could hardly open her eyes.
When the Du family members and Xi Jingyue heard this, they subconsciously glanced at the people who were still talking to Du Desheng. Then, considering what Du Desheng had done before, they had some guesses about the identities of these people.
Duanrao was also guessing, but compared to specious guesses, she preferred to find the definite answer herself.
Noticing that the housekeeper was also following behind this group of people, Du Anrao must have helped to receive these people before. He quietly moved to Du Miao's side and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Miao, who are these people? They seem to be very familiar with my cousin."
"They are all old acquaintances of Master Jiu." Du Miao lowered his voice and briefly introduced the identities of several people to Du Anrao. The more Du Anrao listened, the brighter his eyes became.
[It's really a case of searching for something without any effort. I was still wondering how to find these people, and they just came to me on their own initiative! ]
Ah this——
Everyone in the Du family looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion. Why did their An An look for these big shots for no reason? What happened that they didn't know about?
Xi Jingyue, the only person who knew the truth of the matter, roughly guessed the real reason why this group of people appeared here, and subconsciously glanced at Du Desheng not far away.
Du Desheng had already noticed when he heard Du Anrao mention the golden light of merit on this group of people. He saw her small movements towards the housekeeper. When he heard her sigh of surprise, his eyes flickered slightly, and he stopped talking: "The young generation in my family had a little dispute with others. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
"Mr. Du, you are too kind. There are so many people attending the wedding banquet, and it's a mixed bag. There will always be one or two unpleasant people sneaking in. Just get rid of them."
This person was putting it mildly. He took advantage of the host's wedding to come to the host's house and speak ill of the host's family behind their backs. This is not only unpleasant, but also disgusting and annoying.
Du Desheng also smiled when he heard this and waved to Du Miao: "Go and find the person who brought her in."
Mrs. Kou didn't know what was going on at this time, but when she heard Du Desheng's words, her heart couldn't stop pounding and she subconsciously wanted to leave this place.
Helplessly, all the people from the Du family and the big guys who came later were blocking the only exit. She couldn't fly away even if she had wings, and could only wait anxiously for her son to arrive.
The person who brought Mrs. Kou to the wedding banquet was naturally her eldest son Kou Huaqing, but the invitation came from Kou Huaqing's father-in-law.
Because his mother-in-law was temporarily unwell and couldn't come, Kou Huaqing thought of asking his mother to take her place, allowing her to see the world and at the same time bring her out to establish his image as a filial son in front of his partners and package his own reputation.
It's just a wedding banquet after all, and we've attended it before, so there shouldn't be any big trouble.
Who would have thought that his outspoken old mother would accidentally give him such a big gift!
Kou Huaqing, his wife and father-in-law were still a little confused when they received Du Miao's summons, especially with the deliberate flattery of some partners who recognized Du Miao's identity. They all felt a little flattered, thinking that they had accidentally got lucky and been noticed by a big shot, and were about to rise to a high position.
As a result, when they were almost there, they learned the whole story from Du Miao's "kind" reminder. Their legs almost weakened and they wished they could disappear from the spot immediately and sever their relationship with Mrs. Kou.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to disappear.
Even though they were extremely frightened, they still had to follow the butler and appear in front of Duan Rao and others to clean up the mess.
"Mr. Du, several gentlemen..." Kou Huaqing's father-in-law's surname is Xiong. He has always been the one who has the final say in the company, but now he is like a small minion in front of these big shots, groveling and fawning to the utmost.
Kou Huaqing felt quite uncomfortable, but he was more nervous and terrified. After all, the person who caused such a big mess was his own mother!
As the host and the person being slandered, Du Desheng glanced at him coldly and sneered, "A Miao should have told you everything that happened here before you came."
Hearing this, Mr. Xiong's back couldn't help but bend a little more. "Yes, Butler Du has already told us the whole story before we came. It is indeed my mother-in-law who did something wrong. I hope Mr. Du will be magnanimous and not argue with a rude woman like her."
"What if I insist on going toe-to-toe with her?"
Mr. Xiong's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat started to flow down his forehead. "She was at fault first, so you can punish her however you want. Since she did something wrong, you should ask her to apologize to you and your wife."
Mrs. Kou didn't dare to say a word at this point. She looked at her in-laws who usually didn't even bother to look at her, and felt that they were shorter than Du Desheng and the others. She finally realized that she had offended a very important person.
And this person could easily destroy her, her son, and even her wife and her family whom her son depended on!
Du Desheng looked at Mr. Xiong for a long time with a gloomy gaze, which made the man's legs tremble and his face turn pale. Then he snorted coldly.
"You are smart. Forget about the apology. I don't want my wife to be polluted by these dirty words on such a beautiful day."
"I understand, I understand." Mr. Xiong didn't even dare to wipe the sweat off his head, and nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, I will never let her have the chance to appear in front of you and your wife again and upset you and your wife."
"That's good. I'm busy at home today, so I won't keep you any longer. Ah Miao, show the guests out."
Du Desheng was being polite, but what he really meant was to drive the entire family out.
Du Miao stepped forward at the right time: "Everyone, please come in."
