Chapter 244: Bad Luck
"What?"
Duanrao's words surprised the other people in the room.
Ms. Qiu immediately looked at her friend and asked, "Have you met before?"
The aunt didn't expect Duanrao to remember her, so she said uncertainly, "I think we saw each other from a distance in the exhibition hall."
"What about speaking for her?"
"I'm not speaking for Miss Du. I'm just telling the truth."
"Let me tell you."
It turned out that on that day in the exhibition hall of the auction house, Du Tianci and Du Wei led a few people to find Du Anrao. They not only hinted that Du Anrao was just a burden who was favored by Du Desheng because of Qin Yanqing, but also were jealous and sarcastic, saying that Du Anrao was not worthy of the position. They also tried to suppress her and dampen her spirit by using their status as a brother and elder.
Helplessly, Duanrao refused to accept the challenge and tore off the hypocritical masks of the father and son and stomped on them several times.
At that time, this aunt was among the crowd of onlookers. Not only did she watch, she also cooperated with Du Anrao to explain that this family wanted to take advantage of Du Desheng's family but was sanctioned by the other party. They had already severed relations with the other party but still pretended to be Du Desheng's relatives, deceiving the ignorant people and making money with their ugly faces. Finally, she pointed out the family's envy, jealousy and hatred for Du Anrao who was the only one favored by Du Desheng.
"Although I was confident that I would not suffer at the hands of them, if it weren't for the good cooperation of this aunt, who helped educate me about their bad relationship with my uncle and the immoral things they had done long ago, someone might have been used and misled by them, and in turn morally blackmailed me into submitting to them."
[Although I have no morals towards such people, I still feel disgusted when I encounter them occasionally. After all, it is really hard to communicate with these fence-sitters who know nothing but claim to be righteous. Auntie can be said to have saved me from the dire situation. ]
Auntie felt a little embarrassed when she heard her say that: "Miss Du, you are too polite. I was just being straightforward at the time. I couldn't bear to see that greedy man in that family bullying a little girl like you, so I said a few fair words casually. I didn't expect you to remember me. It's really my honor."
Duan Rao smiled and turned to look at Ms. Qiu: "They are the people you just messaged me to tell me to bring along. Are you friends?"
"Yes, this is my and my husband's junior, and also an extremely important partner of our company. His last name is Liu, and the one next to him is his wife, her last name is Qi."
"Hello, I am also a friend of Aunt Qiu. My last name is Du."
"I know, I've heard of Miss Du for a long time. I've always wanted to find a chance to meet you, but I always missed it for various reasons. Today I finally met you."
"You want to meet me? Is it because Aunt Qiu mentioned me to you?"
"Yes." Mr. Liu turned his head and looked at his wife, and said straight to the point, "We heard Sister Qiu mention you, and we know your ability. To be honest, my husband and I came here today because we want to ask Master Du for help with something."
Duanrao's eyes flickered slightly, but he was not surprised at all.
She trusted the character of the mother and son of the Qiu family. After several times of getting along with them, she knew that they were not people who did not know etiquette. If they suddenly said they wanted to bring people over to the dinner party they had arranged, it must be more than just a free meal.
"What do you want me to do for you? Let me be frank. Although I have some skills, compared to some talented people who can move mountains and fill seas, or calculate, I only know a little bit, and I may not be able to really solve your dilemma."
The couple looked at each other and saw disappointment in each other's eyes.
But they were desperate, so they decided to give it a try. They did not blame Duan Rao too much, but just said, "It's okay. We just want a definite answer so that we can give up."
"Well, tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
"To be honest with you, Master Du, my wife and I both like children very much. We have never used contraception since we got married, but we have not been able to have children. For this reason, we have done a lot of physical examinations over the years, and no problems were found. However, in terms of the fate of having children..."
"Puff..." Mr. Liu had just finished speaking when Du Anrao choked.
[No, buddy, no, that's not it, uncle, if you can't have a baby, go find a doctor to treat it, why are you looking for me? I'm not the Goddess of Fertility, I can't be possessed by a ghost and steal one for you, right?]
Xi Jingyue: “…”
"How many years have you two been together?"
"We have been together since college, for more than 20 years, and married for almost 20 years."
"Did you have any children during this time?"
When Ms. Qi heard Du Anrao ask this, a bit of sadness appeared on her face: "There was one, but unfortunately he didn't stay."
Mr. Liu held his wife's hand comfortingly: "Yes, I did have one, but I accidentally lost it when I was more than five months pregnant. I have never gotten pregnant again since then."
"At first we were worried that this miscarriage was too harmful to my body, but after going to the hospital for various tests, they said there was nothing wrong with my body. We also tried taking medicine and IVF, but all failed in the end."
It was obvious that this incident had dealt a heavy blow to the couple. After Ms. Qi finished speaking, the two of them unconsciously moved closer to each other, as if only in this way could they absorb the warmth from each other.
Du Anrao couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He stared at the two of them for a long time, and his expression changed slightly.
Xi Jingyue noticed the change in her expression and was about to ask when he heard the familiar shouting voice of this person.
[What's wrong with these two people? They have so much resentment and blood in their bodies. They are going to be in big trouble, and their lives are in danger! ]
Xi Jingyue's eyes moved slightly, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the couple who were snuggling together and comforting each other.
Before he could think about it, he heard Du Anrao exclaim again in a raised voice.
[Oh my god, it's actually like this, this is too crazy! ]
Xi Jingyue: "..." So what's going on? Isn't it a bit immoral for you to cut off the beginning and the end and eat the melon by yourself?
After understanding the basic situation of the two people, Duan Rao looked at them with a complicated and sympathetic look. He cleared his throat and asked in a low voice, "So why did you come to me today... First of all, I have no experience in having children, so I'm afraid I can't help you."
The couple was stunned for a moment, then they couldn't help laughing: "Master Du, you misunderstood, we just want you to help us see if we are destined to be childless."
"If so, what are you going to do?"
The couple's expressions became more bitter: "If so, then we are unlucky and unworthy of having children of our own. We will give up and stop trying. We will see whether to adopt or foster the child..."
"Adopt?" Du Anrao raised his eyebrows and asked with a half-smile, "Are you planning to adopt Mr. Liu's brother's child?"
