Chapter 284: The Melon We Have Never Eaten
This was the scene Xi Jingyue saw when he walked out of the house.
Seeing that several elders were so angry that their faces turned blue and they walked away, several cousins glared at him and his parents angrily and followed the elders away reluctantly.
The huge yard was empty. It was obviously no longer as lively and noisy as before, but Xi Jingyue felt that this was the happiest year he had ever had since he was born.
When the large fireworks were set off outside the yard, Xi Jingyue couldn't help but take out his cell phone and sent a text message to Du Anrao.
"Happy New Year! And thank you."
At that time, Duanrao was busy lurking around in the family group, grabbing red envelopes everywhere, and was full of questions when he saw this message.
"Happy New Year, Mr. Xi! But why are you thanking me for no reason?"
"It's okay. Have you returned home? Are you in your hometown now?"
That day, he attended the wedding banquet of Du Desheng and his partner, and was interrogated by Du Anrao's third brother. He almost revealed that he could also hear Du Anrao's thoughts.
The two sides exchanged views, each with their own ulterior motives.
Faced with the Du family's tight defense, Xi Jingyue knew that he had no chance of winning. Also, the company happened to have a problem with a payment for goods, so he left before the banquet was over.
Therefore, he really didn't know that Duanrao did not leave City B, but was spending the New Year in the imperial capital with his family.
Du Anrao briefly explained to him the reason for staying in City B, but Xi Jingyue immediately grasped the key point.
"Mr. Liu and Ms. Qi came to see you? Then what about their fate and that..."
"I have sent that little ghost away, and I have also helped them change their fate. It was Mr. Yan, Mr. Liu's partner. His son was poisoned by Liu Tianyuan's family, which made him fall deeply in love with Liu Tianyuan's sister. I have to help them remove the poison later. I feel so busy every day."
I thought I would be picked up by my rich parents as soon as I got down the mountain and could just lie down and relax, but this happened one after another, which was really upsetting.
Duanrao's last words were sent directly in a voice message. Xi Jingyue could imagine the tone of her voice when she said this even though he was thousands of miles away, and he couldn't help laughing.
"That's because you are amazing and can do things that others can't do, so they like to ask you for help."
Duan Rao was stunned, his face getting hot: "I feel a little embarrassed when you say that."
"An An, who are you talking to over there?" Du Yihan, who was setting off fireworks not far away, turned around and saw his sister holding a cell phone with a red face. His alarm bells went off instantly.
The other brothers and sisters also looked over when they heard the sound. Du Anrao felt guilty when they looked at him, and subconsciously denied it: "No, I didn't talk to anyone."
"Then why is your face so red?"
"That's the reflection of the fireworks you set off. By the way, second brother, the firecracker you just set off was very pretty, especially the green one. Can you set off another one?"
Du Hexuan looked at his sister suspiciously, but in the end he didn't ask any more questions and went to set off the beautiful fireworks that his sister liked to watch.
Duanrao saw that several people's attention was diverted, and he breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace.
I looked down and found that Xi Jingyue had sent another message.
"That voice just now, was it your third brother?"
"Yes, Mr. Xi, let me tell you that my third brother is amazing. He made an exception and skipped a grade to get into University B when he was only in his third year. He also joined University B's laboratory. My third brother said that after the Chinese New Year, when school starts, he will take me to visit his laboratory. I have never been to a laboratory in my life, so I am a little nervous. I hope everything goes well."
As soon as Du Anrao mentioned this, Xi Jingyue subconsciously thought of Du Anrao's previous speculation about Dr. Du. Could her third brother be the Dr. Du whose identity was blurred?
Even if he was not, given the previous involvement of several of Duan Rao's family members, and the fact that they were so quick-witted at the banquet that day that they almost figured out all his secrets with just a few words, Xi Jingyue intuitively felt that the third young master of the Du family was not that simple, and the scandal involving him must not be small either.
Thinking of this, Xi Jingyue suddenly felt like flying to City B again. He didn't know if he would be able to catch up with Du Anrao in time to have a taste of the fresh melon after the New Year.
"Don't be nervous. Since it's your third brother who invited you, he will definitely take good care of you. Just think of it as going out for fun and making some friends. It will be convenient for you to visit your third brother in the future."
"That's true."
After receiving Xi Jingyue's comfort, Du Anrao felt much more relaxed.
After the New Year, Du Anrao moved to the large flat that Du's father and mother had just bought, so that she could go shopping with her two elders and Du Yuxi in her free time in the next few days.
However, no one expected that before the year was even halfway through, Mr. Liu and others would come to the door again.
Because Du Anrao moved, several people first went to Jingyu Street, but after coming to nothing, they remembered to call Du Anrao and ask her where she was.
At that time, Du Anrao had just woken up and was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast in the panda pajamas bought for her by her mother. Suddenly, her cell phone rang, attracting the attention of all the family members nearby.
"Aunt Qiu? Oh, yes, I moved out from my uncle's house. My parents, brothers and sisters came to City B to spend the New Year with me. They bought a new house, so I moved here to stay with them for a few days. Have you brought Mr. Yan's son out? Otherwise, why don't you just bring him here? My address is..."
After Du Anrao hung up the phone, he continued to eat breakfast. While stuffing fried dough sticks into his mouth, he was thinking about how to help Master Yan remove the poison.
[Speaking of this lover's poison, I've only heard my master mention it before, and this is the first time I've seen it. I don't know if the person who is infected with this poison will really be as obsessed with love as my master said, and won't even be willing to be bitten by zombies.]
Lover's Gu?!
After checking each other's eyes, we can tell that this is a melon that none of us have ever eaten! In that case, then...
So Duanrao watched helplessly as his family members, who had said before that they were going out, sat firmly on the sofa, as if their buttocks were glued to the cushions, not moving at all.
Seeing that Mr. Liu and others were about to arrive, the house was still crowded with people.
Duan Rao blinked and asked in confusion: "Brother, didn't you just say that there would be a meeting at nine o'clock? Now..."
Duanrao turned his head and looked at the clock behind him: "It's ten past nine." Shouldn't you go back to your room to work?
Du Junyan froze when he was named, but he still sat upright on the sofa, his expression unchanged: "A director in charge of an important project was cooking at home this morning and accidentally blew up the kitchen, causing the circuit in that area to be paralyzed and unable to be contacted. My secretary is rushing to his house now, and the meeting originally scheduled for 9 o'clock has been rescheduled to the afternoon."
Everyone: Poof...
Duanrao: “???” Is it so outrageous?
