Chapter 381 Just Because You Are You
The Li family members were shocked again when they heard this. Mother Li was the first to change her expression. She said excitedly, "Pah, pah, pah! What nonsense are you talking about? Children should not be restrained in their words!"
Li Zhaoyang and his sister: "..." Although... Mom, are you scared to the point of speaking without thinking? My cousin doesn't look like a... giant baby at all!
Xi Jingyue was also stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "That's just my guess, otherwise I can't explain why I never showed up when your family was in trouble."
Mother Li glared at him in disapproval: "That won't do either. Who would have the audacity to guess whether they are dead or not? You don't understand the taboo at all."
Li's mother and Xi Jingyue's mother are sisters from the same mother. To her, Xi Jingyue is no different from her own child, and she really can't bear to hear such hurtful words.
Compared to his wife, Father Li was obviously much calmer: "Jingyue's guess is not unreasonable."
Mother Li glared at her husband angrily: "Why are you..."
"Thinking about the future that has been arranged for our family, it won't be surprising if anything happens during this period."
When Mr. Li said this, Mrs. Li choked and couldn't say anything to refute.
Before they met Du Anrao, or even earlier, before they knew that Li Qianxi was not their biological child, who in their family could have imagined that in the near future, because of their trust and love for someone, they would be forced into a desperate situation step by step, and end up with a miserable end of losing their reputation and living on the streets?
Thinking about it this way, it's possible that Xi Jingyue encountered some major event that he couldn't get away from at that time, but...
"If that's the case, will Jingyue be in danger? Will your second cousin hurt you? No, I have to talk to your parents about this."
The anxious look of the aunt successfully amused Xi Jingyue: "Then how are you going to tell my parents? Tell them about An An's strangeness and that you can hear An An's inner voice? Regardless of whether they believe it or not, it's best not to tell anyone about this without the consent of the Du family. The fewer people who know, the better."
“…That’s the truth.”
"You don't have to worry about my second cousin. My family, including my grandparents, has always had a lukewarm relationship with the other cousins. In recent years, we have been at loggerheads over the company and the family property. But since my grandfather is still around, we dare not make a scene. It's just..."
"only?"
"Because An An gave me full authority to handle the two plots of land that were auctioned off in City B, so that I could quickly open up the Xi family's market in City B and establish the company in City B as quickly as possible, Grandpa has decided to hand over the company's management rights to me."
The Li family members were stunned when they heard this: "Doesn't that mean that from now on, the Xi family and all of the Xi family's companies and businesses will be run by you?"
Although anyone with a discerning eye could see before this that the old man was training Xi Jingyue as his only heir, an heir in training and an heir who has already taken over power and is about to hold sway on his own must have different meanings in the eyes of some people.
"You can say that." Xi Jingyue's eyes flickered slightly, and his voice became a little colder. "As early as when I officially took over the responsibility handed over by my grandfather, I was already prepared to face the hail of bullets and arrows in the near future. My parents were the same."
"My second cousin's family has been making small moves in the past few years, but they have never confronted us directly. They have always been the focus of our family's attention. Now we are just raising their danger level. I will tell my parents later and ask them to pay more attention to every move of my second cousin's family."
However, Li's mother was still worried. After what happened to Li Qianxi, she was really afraid of the ropes after being bitten by a snake once, and was extremely cautious about anything related to her family.
"As the saying goes, a thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. As long as they want to harm you, they will always find a way to avoid your sight. Just sitting there and waiting for death is not a solution."
Father Li agreed with this: "Your aunt is right. Waiting for others to take action against you is too passive. It is better to think of a way to solve the problem in one fell swoop."
"I understand." Xi Jingyue raised the corners of his lips and said something that surprised everyone present, "In fact, I came here today just to invite An An to visit my home."
"Invite me to your house?" Duanrao widened his eyes in surprise, as if he didn't quite understand why Xi Jingyue would want to invite him to his house for no reason.
Before she could think about it, the Du family members who were following behind her, worried about her being alone with the wolf, shouted out, "No!"
"Huh?" Duanrao turned around and looked at the people who spoke in confusion.
Seeing this, several people felt guilty for a moment, but they quickly adjusted their attitudes and said confidently: "An An is young, it's not appropriate for her to visit other people's homes casually, especially other men's homes."
Mr. Du uttered the last few words with such gnashing of teeth that he almost pointed at Xi Jingyue's nose and scolded him for having ill intentions!
Xi Jingyue's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled slightly, "If uncle and aunt are worried, you can let Yuxi go with An'an. It just so happens that my grandparents have also heard about the Li family's affairs. My old man is good friends with the old man of the Su family, and he is very curious about Yuxi, a child who has been stranded outside. Not long ago, he was talking about finding an opportunity to meet her. When we go back to pay tribute to our old friend, we can also say a few words to comfort him."
The two old people in the Su family became ill with worry after their daughter's death, and passed away soon after. Before they left, they had never seen Du Yuxi, their granddaughter, which was a great pity.
The Du family got even angrier when they heard him say that. What's the matter? Not only did he kidnap one of their children, but he also wanted to kidnap the other one. With such a big appetite, aren't you afraid of eating too much and dying?
Facts have proved that once one has prejudice against someone, no matter what he does or says, he cannot easily change other people's defense and rejection of him.
Fortunately, Xi Jingyue had already anticipated the reactions of the Du family members, and wisely ignored them all and focused only on Du Anrao's own thoughts.
Duan Rao calmed down a little after being surprised, but still had some doubts: "It's understandable that your grandparents want to see Fourth Sister, but what about seeing me? Could it be that because of Fourth Sister, they are also curious about me, the unlucky guy who swapped places with Fourth Sister?"
Xi Jingyue laughed: "This is just one of the reasons."
"Any other reasons?"
"Well, it's mainly because of the two plots of land you bought in City B. Those two plots of land may not be of much use to you, but they can play a very big role in the development of our family's business. So they want to see you not because of who you are, but just because you are you."
