Chapter 184: The World is My Home
Jiang Younian was somewhat speechless at Duan Rao's surprise: "My mother invited you to our house for dinner. Are you so surprised?"
"Not really, it just feels a little sudden."
[My intuition tells me that my aunt must be asking me to come over for more than just a meal. Could it be...]
Du Desheng happened to be resting at home today. When he heard her tone, he knew there was something fishy going on and his ears pricked up.
[Could it be that the matter of that young lady's family that day...has been resolved? ]
When Duanrao said the last four words, his tone became more volatile, and it was obvious that he was very interested in the affairs of that young lady's family.
Du Desheng was also curious. What day was it? Who was the young lady? What happened in their family?
This girl of his has never left the house since she came to City B. On that day, she went out for a stroll with her second cousin all morning. Could something have happened that day that he didn't know about?
Du Desheng's curiosity was piqued, and Du Anrao was also very excited. He quickly agreed, "Okay, today at noon, right? I'll talk to my uncle later, and you give me your home address."
After Du Anrao finished speaking, he started to worry again. It was his first time visiting someone's home, so he should at least bring some gifts to avoid being impolite, right?
If I had known this earlier, I would not have given the necklace back to my second cousin that day.
As if he had guessed what Duan Rao was thinking, Jiang Younian reminded him first: "Just come here, don't bring any big or small gifts."
"Ah? Why?"
"The necklace you gave my mom a few days ago almost caused my brother and I to be kicked out by my parents!"
Jiang Younian's words were so sad and angry, which showed how difficult his life was these past two days.
Duan Rao was shocked. This pot was so big and round that she would not take the blame!
"Why would my gift of the necklace harm you and your cousin?"
"Because my mother found that the gifts my brother and I have given over the past twenty years combined are not as thoughtful and valuable as the one you gave her, and she felt that she had wasted her time raising us both."
Duan Rao: “…”
[Ah, you can't blame me for being too good just because you are useless. 】
Du Desheng: “…” That’s true, but his girl’s mouth can be really irritating sometimes!
"So, just come here, and please don't bring any gifts. Just think of it as having pity on us. My brother and I really don't want to be homeless on the street tonight."
"……All right."
There were less than three hours left until noon, so Du Anrao hung up the phone and went to report to Du Desheng and the others.
Du Desheng was very easy to talk to and approved her trip, but he hesitated for a moment while arranging her travel arrangements: "This is your first time visiting your uncle's house, it's not good to come empty-handed. I'll ask your uncle Du Miao to go to the backyard storehouse to find some wine and tea, and you can take them to your uncle and aunt, it won't be considered rude."
Duanrao was stunned for a moment, then he smiled in an unfathomable manner.
[Second cousin, I didn't prepare this gift. I was just responsible for delivering it. You can't blame me.]
This little fox! Du Desheng's eyebrows curved, and he refused to admit that he did this just to watch the fun.
Qin Yanqing, the only one who knew what the two were thinking, looked at the identical cunning smiles on the faces of the old and the young, shook his head, and silently sympathized with Du Anrao's two cousins in his heart.
Du Desheng arranged the same driver for Du Anran as before, but the difference was that this time there were also several bodyguards traveling with her openly.
But after arriving at the destination, several people stayed downstairs to guard, and Duanrao went upstairs alone carrying the things.
Jiang Younian received the news and came down to pick her up. He was shocked when he saw the things Duanrao mentioned.
"Didn't I tell you not to bring any gifts?"
Duan Rao showed an awkward but polite smile: "It's not my decision to bring it. My uncle specially asked someone to find it from the warehouse when he heard that I was coming to your house for dinner. It's a kind gesture from the old man, and I can't refuse it."
Jiang Younian almost burst into tears on the spot, but had to step forward to help carry the things.
When Duan Rao arrived at the Jiang family, she was warmly welcomed as expected. Her aunt saw her carrying a lot of bags and said, "Since you are here, why do you need to bring any gifts?"
His hand took it without any hesitation, and the smile on his face was almost extending to the back of his head.
Then he turned around and looked at the Jiang Younian brothers with a bit more disgust in his eyes.
Jiang Younian and Jiang Changbin: “…” I knew it!
Mrs. Jiang’s cooking skills are quite good. There was a table full of home-cooked dishes. They smelled so delicious that Duan Rao didn’t even raise his head. When he left the table, his stomach was slightly bloated. He could only run back and forth a few times to digest the food under the pretext of helping his aunt clean up the dishes.
After lunch, my uncle cut a large plate of fruit. When the family gathered together to enjoy the fruit, they mentioned the incident at Jiangyu Plaza.
"Younian told me about your shopping trip a few days ago. His membership card is mine. I've been busy recently and rarely go shopping. I didn't know there were new regulations. This kid, too, actually asked you to help him get a card, and then gave him such an expensive necklace..."
"Aunt, you are being too polite. My second cousin just took time out to go shopping with me. It's nothing to just apply for a card. That necklace is a gift from me to you. Not only you, I also bought one for my mom. It's just a little token of my appreciation."
Mrs. Jiang was even more delighted when she saw Du Anrao put her and her sister-in-law together.
"That's true, but the last time we met, the situation was rather special, and I didn't have time to give you a gift. I'll make it up to you today."
Just as Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, a card appeared in Duanrao's hand.
Duan Rao: "..." What's going on? Why is there suddenly another small card in her pocket? Where did this thing come from? !
"This is the VIP card of my aunt's family hotel. With this card, you can enjoy free presidential suite service at hotel branches across the country."
Presidential Suite? Free?
Duanrao was surprised by the two words combined together, and subconsciously took out his mobile phone to check the name of the hotel.
The basic information about this hotel popped up immediately. It is a five-star hotel, which can be found in major first-tier and second-tier cities and even small counties. The hotel room prices range from two or three hundred to twenty or thirty thousand per night.
The presidential suite, as the name suggests, should be the most expensive one.
[Oh, that's good. With this card, my mom doesn't have to worry about me having no place to stay and living on the streets when I run away from home.]
Mrs. Jiang: “???”
After Du Anrao finished speaking, he inevitably thought of Liao Yuqian, who had just given him a luxurious villa not long ago.
[Mr. Liao only let me have a home of my own in S City, but this card of my aunt can make the world my home. My aunt won! ]
Mrs. Jiang: “…” Ah, that’s not what she meant!
