Chapter 453: How come it is not considered a two-way journey?
Xi Jingyue pursed his lips, trying to suppress the upward curve of the corners of his mouth that kept rising because of Du Anrao's complaints.
"So now the whole family is... entering the hospital together?"
"Yes. My cousin, the old man who had quarreled with my great uncle and his family at the ancestral worship ceremony that day, found out about their family's situation. He thought that their family was haunted by some evil spirit and suggested that they find a master to exorcise the evil spirit and avoid disaster."
"Then your cousin and his family... agreed?"
"Well, actually, even if the uncle didn't say it, they would also want to find a master to help exorcise the evil spirits. After all, they have encountered so many things in a short period of time, and they are also worried that they might have run into something unclean. But you also know that it is not easy to find a real master like you these days. Most of them are swindlers. I heard that they are busy looking for a real master to solve the family's problems."
Duan Rao: “…”
[The ancestor killed his unworthy descendants for the sake of his reputation. In order to avoid being killed, the unworthy descendants tried their best to find a true Taoist priest to give the ancestor a head-on attack. How can this not be considered a loving father and a filial son, running towards each other in both directions? ]
Xi Jingyue: This is such a joke from hell!
"Mr. Xi, don't worry about this matter. This is their family affair, and it's not for others to interfere. And don't be fooled by your cousin's righteous words, as if he cares about the family members very much. In fact, he can't protect himself. Making such a suggestion is just to test..." Duanrao paused.
Xi Jingyue immediately asked curiously, "What are you testing?"
[Of course, he was testing whether it would be useful to find a master to exorcise evil spirits. If it was useful, he would be able to take the real master that your uncle had used up and bring it back to his own home to continue using.]
"..." What kind of waste recycling method is this? But...
According to An An, this cousin might be doing some shameful things in private.
Thinking of this, Xi Jingyue felt an unusual headache. What An An had said before about their family being a family of lawless outlaws was absolutely true.
His first priority when he returned these two days was to find out what messy and dirty things these relatives had done in private. It would be fine if they violated morals, at most it would bring shame to themselves, but it would not affect their family's affairs.
Those things that violate the law and discipline and cross the bottom line cannot be tolerated in the slightest.
Since these things had to be done quickly, Xi Jingyue had already asked people to investigate for evidence of these people's crimes, while secretly withdrawing their family's dealings and business cooperation with these relatives.
Once he has collected all the evidence and cut off all business ties between his family and these people, he will report them and make them pay for what they have done.
He did not seek to gain a reputation for sacrificing his relatives for the sake of justice, he just hoped that the stupid things these people did would not unnecessarily affect him and his elders at home.
Du Anrao didn't know what was going on in Xi Jingyue's mind, so he shook his head and said, "Nothing. Apart from them, did anyone else get into trouble? For example... the cousin and her family who came to cause trouble for you that day."
"On that day, apart from my family, a few cousins, and distant relatives, most of the other relatives' families were not doing well these days. My cousin's family also had some troubles, but they were not too serious. At most, they just lost some money, not as serious as this cousin's family."
"Is that so?" Duanrao stroked his chin thoughtfully.
[From this point of view, their family is still in the stage of having the intention but not the courage to commit a crime, and the backlash from their ancestors is not very severe. It is also possible that Mr. Xi in reality is in good health and has strong abilities, which temporarily suppressed their restless thoughts. ]
But people like them can suppress their greed for a while, but not forever. Just like hyenas drooling over fat meat, even if they know that the fat meat is covered with thorns, they will rush forward regardless of everything just to have a bite, waiting to step on the flesh of the person in front of them at any time to welcome their victory.
Xi Jingyue agreed deeply. What Xi Yangjia's family had done over the years had already verified Du Anrao's statement.
Thinking of what Duanrao mentioned not long ago, Ji Weifeng was originally Xi Yanjia's opportunity, and now this opportunity is undoubtedly his!
Du Anrao followed Xi Jingyue and ate the melons from their home along the way. When they arrived at the destination, they were so satisfied and refreshed.
As soon as he got off the car, he was met with the inexplicably resentful face of his second brother's stepmother.
"Mr. Xi, you drive really slowly. Those of us who left late arrived first, but you who left early made us wait so long."
Du Hexuan's words were so sarcastic, and there was no lack of resentment in them about being tempted to eat the melon but not being able to do so.
"Second brother, Mr. Xi was so kind to help me get back, how could you say such a thing? It's so rude."
Du Hexuan: “…” I can see that you were enjoying eating this melon, but you kind of forgot about your brother.
"It's okay. Your second brother was just worried about you. I don't usually drive fast, and today I picked you up, so I was afraid that driving too fast would be unsafe and easy to get carsick, so I drove a little slower than usual. No matter what, it was my fault for making your second brother worry."
"Second brother! You really went too far this time. Mr. Xi, don't listen to what my second brother said. He didn't mean that."
Du Hexuan: Damn, this damn tea man!
"An An." At the critical moment, it was the eldest brother who appeared in time to save the situation.
"Mom, Dad, brother, sister... why are you all here?" Duanrao looked at his family members who appeared neatly behind him with surprise in his eyes.
"Such a big thing has happened here, how can we not come?" Father Du said as he glanced at Xi Jingyue with a bad face. If it weren't for the poor signal in that remote mountain village, how could this bastard get there first?
Mother Du also smiled slightly: "Thank you Mr. Xi for sending An An back. Our family still has something to talk about, so we won't keep you any longer."
Xi Jingyue: "..." Is this an illusion? Why does it feel like Aunt Du's attitude towards him has also changed?
Xi Jingyue finally left tactfully, and everyone in the Du family also neatly entered the hotel's most hidden presidential suite.
Du Anrao looked at the people standing in a row in front of him, with serious faces and hesitant to speak, and his head was full of question marks.
"Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister, what are you doing..."
The children looked at each other and decisively handed this difficult task to the adults.
The two adults stared at each other for a long time. Without a doubt, Father Du was the first to give in. He sighed and said resignedly, "An An, we have something very important to tell you."
Duan Rao was even more confused after hearing this: "Why don't you tell me? I'm listening."
Father Du fell silent again, but finally, after his wife's impatient twist, he avoided his daughter's inexplicable expectant gaze and gritted his teeth.
"In fact, we can all hear your voice."
Duan Rao: “???”
Duan Rao: “!!!”
