Chapter 274 This is going to be a big deal!
It would have been fine if Butler Du didn't mention this. As soon as he mentioned it, everyone's eyes turned to Xi Jingyue again.
Especially those grown men, if the occasion was not wrong, they would have jumped up and taken Xi Jingyue away for a friendly exchange between men.
This damn wild boar, after not seeing him for a few months, actually bribed the old lady. He was even arranged to sit next to An An at a banquet. This is going to cause a big uproar!
"Did grandma arrange it personally?" Duanrao was a little surprised, but didn't think much about it.
At this time, a young apprentice who looked to be in his early twenties with delicate features came up with a plate of big buns.
Wedding banquets are mostly composed of various dishes and soups, and it is rare to have staple foods like this that can fill people up in one go. However, Grandma Qin liked this dish, so Du Desheng liked it and added these steamed buns to the menu.
However, in order to thank Duanrao for his help, all the dishes at today's wedding banquet are provided by the Zhenxiu Restaurant. Even such ordinary meat buns are freshly made and taste different from the previous delicacies.
As soon as Duanrao saw the plate of buns, he remembered the purpose of his sneaking out, and hurriedly took a few freshly baked and still hot buns and put them in his arms, and also took a few snacks that had been placed on the table before the banquet and had not been touched.
"You guys eat first. I'll take something in for grandma. I'll come find you later when everyone has left."
After Du Anrao finished speaking, he quietly ran away along the same way he came. Du's father, mother and others wanted to stop him but it was too late.
"This kid is always in a hurry. It won't take too long to bring food to the old lady. He hasn't even finished the soup yet."
Butler Du's smile remained unchanged: "The eldest lady is also filial and wants to let the old lady have something hot to eat."
In this weather, the buns are still quite hot when they are served. By the time she brings them into the inner room, they will probably be just right to eat.
Du's mother just complained casually, and after hearing what Du Miao said, she didn't continue the topic.
On the contrary, Xi Jingyue, who had not yet gotten used to people coming and going around him, felt someone sitting next to him.
When he turned around, he found that it was the third brother of the Du family who was originally sitting on the other side of Du Anrao who had secretly moved over.
This handsome boy, who looked a bit like the handsome protagonist in old campus novels, lost his masculine aura instantly as soon as he opened his mouth, and was replaced by a strong sense of danger.
"Mr. Xi, right? You seem to... know something."
Du Desheng, who had no idea what was going on at the time, had just finished dealing with those guests who were rushing to toast and congratulate him and try to get close to him. When he turned around, he found that Du Anrao was gone again. He frowned slightly and quickly called Du Miao over.
"Where's An An?"
"The eldest lady just took some buns and pastries and said she would take them in to fill the old lady's stomach."
Several guests nearby were also quite curious about this young lady who was favored by Du Desheng, and they immediately started praising her upon hearing the words.
"Even when she was eating, she didn't forget to bring some for the old lady. Old Du, your granddaughter is really filial."
"Isn't it? There aren't many young people these days who are so thoughtful. Mr. Du and his wife can just wait and enjoy their life in the future."
Du Desheng was quite pleased to hear the compliments from everyone, but when he turned around, he met the looks from the Du family. He suddenly remembered what he had overlooked and froze.
Oh no, that girl couldn't have really taken Baozi to gossip about his blind date history with his wife? Would he still be able to enter the bedroom tonight?
Duan Anrao didn’t know whether her great-grandfather could enter the bedroom. She only knew that although she was a little tired that day, she was very happy.
Not only did I ate other people's melons, but I also temporarily resolved the things that had been piling up in my heart for the past few days. At least I can finally feel relieved.
When she finished her work in the inner room and came out, several people from the Du family were already waiting for her at the stone table in the backyard.
"Mom and Dad, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth sister."
"An An, are you done?"
"When we're done, the butler will take care of the rest."
"You've worked so hard today. Are you hungry? How about we go out for something to eat?"
"No, no, my uncle later sent some food in for us to eat, and I'm already full." Duan Rao looked around, "Where's Mr. Xi? Why can't I see him?"
"He..." The expressions of several people from the Du family were a little subtle.
After a while, Du Junyan coughed lightly and explained, "He has something to do and has to go back first. He will let us know when he sees you."
Duanrao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Mother Du and the others also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject: "An An, your uncle's wedding is over, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. When are you going to come home with us?"
Duan Rao was stunned for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed: "Dad, Mom, I still have something to deal with, so I may not be able to go home with you so soon."
Du Anrao also wanted to go back with his family now, but Mr. and Mrs. Liu’s problem had not been resolved yet.
Counting the days, they would probably come to see her in two days. Although it was important to reunite with family, if their family issues were not resolved, their lives would be in danger.
She still knew what was more important than what was less important, and Duanrao couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.
This was another matter they didn't know about. When Du Anrao said that it involved the lives of certain people, Du's mother immediately became anxious: "What's the matter? Is it dangerous? Otherwise, tell your uncle, he has a lot of people under him, let him send someone to deal with it."
"My uncle's men can't solve this problem, but don't worry, it's others who are in danger. I will be fine."
[As long as Mr. Liu and his wife can steal the dead baby that has been turned into a ghost, sever the connection between them, and then send the poor child to reincarnation, Mr. Liu and his wife will be free from their calamity. The family that lacks great virtue will also be retaliated and receive the retribution they deserve.]
A dead baby turned into a ghost? Raising a ghost?!
Du Hexuan was an insider after all, so when he heard this he roughly guessed what Duan Rao was going to do. His eyes became slightly cold and his expression became a little serious.
Although Du's father and mother didn't know as much as Du Hexuan, they knew after hearing the description that raising a ghost was definitely not a good thing. They looked at each other and made a decision instantly.
"There are only a few days left until the Chinese New Year. Since you still have things to do, it might be a bit too late to return to S City after you finish them. This is your first New Year back home, and our family must be together, but we don't want you to travel back and forth in such a short time. How about this, we all stay here, and this year our family will celebrate the New Year in B City."
"Celebrating the New Year in City B? Then, Mom and Dad, are you going to spend the New Year with my uncle?"
After all, except for her, everyone else is still staying in the hotel. They can't spend the New Year in the hotel with their whole family. That would be too...
"I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. Junyan, go out with your dad tomorrow to see if there are any newly developed properties that are suitable for our family. Buy one quickly."
Duan Rao: “???”
