Chapter 194 So Many Brothers
Du Anrao stared at Brother Du for a long time, then suddenly turned to ask Jiang Changbin: "Brother, besides several brothers at home and your two cousins, when did I get another brother? I didn't even know it."
As soon as Jiang Changbin heard her words, he knew what she wanted to do, and said, "I'm not sure either. Could it be a relative of Master Jiu?"
Duan Rao suddenly realized and turned to ask Awen: "Uncle Awen, are they relatives from grandpa's side?"
"It used to be, but it's not anymore."
Duan Rao didn't ask why it wasn't, he just nodded calmly: "Oh, if that's the case, sir, let's not get too close to each other. My grandfather doesn't like me to recognize relatives randomly outside."
When Du Anrao said this, Young Master Du's face turned green.
Du Weilu was so angry that his hands were shaking. He pointed at Du Anrao for a long time but couldn't utter a word.
[Why is blood thicker than water? The father and son looked exactly the same when they were angry.]
Jiang Changbin and Xi Jingyue: “…” So you also know that you are about to piss them off to death.
After listening to Duanrao's explanation, the people watching nearby also figured out that something was wrong.
"Are those father and son really the relatives of Master Jiu? Why do they seem to be unwelcome?"
"We are indeed relatives, and our blood relationship is very close. Unfortunately, I severed my relationship with Master Du Jiu a few years ago. Now, let alone being relatives, we are more like enemies."
"No... not really. After all, we are still a family..."
"Why not? You don't know that Jiu Ye's relatives always wanted to give him children in the early years, under the pretext of giving him someone to rely on in his old age. But in fact, everyone knows their little tricks. They just want to eat him up and wipe out his family because he is old and has no one at home."
The aunt who said this was obviously a qualified spectator, and she quickly told everything she knew.
"Because of this incident, Master Jiu directly published an announcement in the newspaper to cut off all ties with his close blood relatives. Mr. Du, who is not sure whether he is the foster father or biological father of Master Du, is one of them."
"Hey, it's in the newspaper, so it must be true. Since we have already severed our relationship, why did these two keep calling me brother and elder? How shameless!"
"These people have been shameless for a long time. A few years ago, Master Jiu published an announcement in the newspaper to cut ties with them, but this group of people pretended not to see it and secretly got a lot of things under the banner of Master Jiu's relatives. There are few people in the entire upper class circle of City B who don't know about their dirty deeds."
The aunt rolled her eyes as she spoke: "When they came to find this little girl just now, I saw what they wanted to do. They just wanted to see that the little girl had the favor of Master Jiu. They were jealous and greedy, but they had no choice but to take advantage of their seniority to get close to the little girl so that they could get some more benefits for their family. How could I not know them? If a tree has no bark, it will surely die; if a person has no shame, he will be invincible in the world!"
Duanrao listened to the aunt's blunt and accurate complaints and almost couldn't help but applaud and cheer for her.
Looking again, Du Weishu and his son had livid faces and their hands were shaking slightly. Duan An was really afraid that the two of them would suffocate and fall to the ground and try to extort money from him.
As a result, the two of them were angry like Parkinson for a while, and then turned around and ran away just like Du Tianci just now.
Duan Rao: “…”
[That's it?! That's it?! I thought someone's stupidity was a matter of probability, but I never expected it to be a genetic problem. This family doesn't look very smart. No wonder in the original plot, they didn't know who killed them until they died. ]
If Du Qichang relied on reading the cues and being a fence-sitter to the end, then Du Weishu's family relied purely on their blood relationship and were pushed by people with ulterior motives to sneak into the final round.
When Du Anrao watched the show before, he always thought that the person chose their family because they were closest to Du Desheng by blood. Even though Du Desheng had a bad relationship with them, from a blood relationship point of view, they were indeed the most legitimate and most likely to inherit Du Desheng's legacy a hundred years later.
Now it seems that the other party may simply think that this family is stupid enough, and with a little encouragement, it can become a useful knife, and it is easy to control, which is simply too useful.
Just like today, Mr. Du thought he was using his illegitimate son to test the waters, but he didn't know that his whole family was just the insignificant pebble that others were using to ask for directions.
Thinking of his performance just now, Duanrao couldn't help but puff out his chest proudly.
[Just now I must have behaved very arrogantly and domineeringly. From today onwards, the reputation of the eldest daughter of the Jiuye family being arrogant and domineering and looking down on others will spread throughout the entire B city. By then, no one will dare to cause trouble to me casually. The plan has been implemented.]
Jiang Changbin and Xi Jingyue: "..." Although, the development of things may be very different from what you expect. At least in their opinion, Duan Rao's series of actions just now have nothing to do with arrogance and domineering. Instead, she is like a kitten. Whoever provokes her, she will scratch them with her claws. It is very... cute.
Du Anrao didn't know what the two were thinking. After what happened just now, many people in the room had a certain understanding of Du Anrao's identity, and more and more people were secretly watching her. However, most people were still unsure of how favored she was with Du Desheng, so they just waited and watched, and didn't immediately approach her to talk. The only one who was not affected by this was...
"Mr. Xi!" Duan Anrao's eyes lit up when he unexpectedly met an acquaintance in a foreign land. "Why are you here too? Are you here specifically to look for treasures?"
Xi Jingyue met Duanrao's sparkling eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise a little.
"I just happened to come to City B to discuss business with Manager Qiu. I heard from him that there was a grand auction in City B recently, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to meet you here."
In fact, it was because he happened to be next to Qiu Jichen when Duanrao called Qiu Jichen that day.
Afterwards, he learned the whole story and found out that Qiu Jichen was going to send an auction invitation to Du Anrao as an apology. So he specially asked Qiu Jichen for an invitation and came all the way to meet Du Anrao by chance.
"Why is An An here too? Are you here to play with...your friends?"
Du Anrao didn't know the inside story, he just thought that the two of them really met by chance, he took Jiang Changbin's hand and said: "My cousin and I are out to meet the world. This is my cousin Jiang Changbin, cousin, this is Mr. Xi Jingyue."
Jiang Changbin raised his eyebrows. His first impression of Xi Jingyue was not very good. There are so many countries in the world, so many provinces in the country, so many cities in the province, and so many places in the city. How could they run into each other by such a coincidence?
This man is dishonest!
Xi Jingyue, who was keenly aware of the other party's hostility: "..." First it was my biological brother, then my cousin, and now here comes my cousin. Where did this girl get... so many brothers!
