Chapter 457: Another Trap
It’s no wonder Duan Rao thought too much. Every time there was a big news, Xi Jingyue’s timing of appearance was very coincidental, as if he knew where the news was in advance.
[Speaking of which, the reason why I was able to get in touch with cousin Li in the beginning was because of Mr. Xi. At that time, I was just a half-baked charlatan, but he seemed to trust me very much...]
There are many coincidences like this. Du Anrao had never thought about it much before, but now with the lessons learned from the past, he traced back inch by inch and found that he had encountered the most coincidences with Xi Jingyue!
The most important thing is that the other party personally sent her back not long ago, and every word he said hit the point of her curiosity, as if he knew in advance what she was curious about and what she wanted to hear.
Before, Duan Rao might have thought that someone was considerate, but now he only felt that the other party was well prepared.
Du Anrao thought for a while and suddenly realized something. He turned to look at the people behind him and met the inexplicably solemn expressions of his family members.
Du Anrao: “…” Mr. Xi, I’m sorry, I seem to have accidentally screwed you over again!
No, why should I say "again"?
No matter what, this confession game ended peacefully with the inexplicable participation of Xi Jingyue, an outsider.
Because the program was urgently called off, the original three-day schedule was forced to be interrupted, and it was time to return after only less than two days of recording.
Du Anrao and his sister were delayed by the sudden arrival of the Du family, so they simply stayed one more day according to their original schedule.
Of the other guests, except Yu Zhaojun who was afraid he could not leave, half left on the night of the incident.
"Mr. Duan and his son, they booked a flight home right after you left." Liang Wanjuan moved closer to Duan Rao and lowered his voice, "They left after receiving a private call. I was near them at the time and listened carefully for a while. It seemed to be related to the woman you mentioned."
Duan Rao raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "That woman? His good brother's...wife?"
"Yes, it was her! The woman may have seen what you said to Mr. Duan that night, and realized that the truth had been revealed. She wanted to run away with her daughter and the money, but was caught on the spot by the people Mr. Duan sent to keep an eye on her. Now there is no need to investigate, the main thing is that she will confess without being asked. I heard that Mr. Duan was anxious to take his son back to settle accounts with the woman and her daughter."
Liang Wanjuan sighed as he spoke: "He was deceived for so long, and so badly. Even his only son was almost driven away by an outsider. I'm afraid Mr. Duan won't just let it go."
It’s a pity that he and Mr. Duan don’t have a very deep private relationship, so I’m afraid this piece of melon can only end here and I can’t eat it all.
As a veteran melon field sower, Du Anrao immediately understood Liang Wanjuan's unfinished intention, and looked at him with an indescribable look, as if saying: I didn't expect you to be such a gossipy person.
Liang Wanjuan shuddered, fearing that he would leave an unreliable impression in someone's eyes, and hurriedly said, "It's not that I deliberately pry into other people's privacy. It was just because we happened to be close at that time that I accidentally heard it."
Du Anrao: “…” Do you think I believe you?
"Mr. Tao is gone too?"
"Yes." Chen Yefang and Tao Sigu are in the same company and are quite familiar with each other. This time, the director team arranged the same hotel for them to stay in the program, so she naturally knows more about his family's affairs.
"Originally, he wanted to stay and say hello to Miss Du before leaving, but he received a call last night saying that his wife had suddenly fainted for some reason. He was so scared that he didn't even have time to book a flight and drove away with the children."
Du Anrao was not surprised by this. When he looked at Tao Sigu's face that night, he noticed that his palace of descendants moved slightly, and he could vaguely see some traces.
To put it simply, his wife is expecting her second child, and he is going to be a father again!
"His wife is fine, so there's a good chance that he'll have double happiness."
If Duan Rao was not mistaken, his wife would most likely be pregnant with twins. Together with his previous child, he would have three children by then...
I just hope that Mr. Tao can get through the cold winter of his career as soon as possible and set sail again, otherwise it will not be easy to raise so many children.
Chen Yefang was also stunned when she heard Du Anrao say this, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the incident at Tao Sigu's home reminded Du Anrao of Liang Wanjuan, whose family was also in trouble: "Brother Liang, aren't you in a hurry to go home?"
Not only was he not in a hurry to go back, another one even came.
"This is...sister-in-law?"
Liang Wanjuan's wife was a beautiful sister with a good temperament. She wore a little white dress and had neat short hair. She had a gentle expression and delicate features. She looked very much like the gentle and elegant water town beauties in the paintings of ancient poets.
When Mrs. Liang heard Du Anrao mention her, she took her daughter's hand and walked forward to greet her.
"Hello, Ms. Du, I am Ajuan's wife and Qiuqiu's mother. Thank you for taking care of my husband and children these days, and especially thank you for what you said to my husband that night."
Mrs. Liang looked at her husband helplessly and sighed, "My husband and my father-in-law have a long-standing grudge. It's not a big deal. We just have different ideas and opinions. We can talk it out. How can there be any overnight hatred between father and son? But they are both more stubborn than each other. Neither of them is willing to be the first to give in and give way. No matter how people persuade them, it's useless. Over time, the situation has been deadlocked, and it has been deadlocked for more than ten years."
Mrs. Liang felt extremely exhausted when she thought about all the effort she and her mother-in-law had put in mediating the issue over the years.
"It's a good thing that he came to this show this time, and it's also a good thing that he met you. After your advice that night, the relationship between the father and son finally cleared up a little. This time I came here to thank you for your help to the father and son and our family on behalf of my mother-in-law."
"Sister-in-law, you are too polite. You also said that there is no overnight hatred between father and son. In the final analysis, Brother Liang and his father just have some misunderstandings with each other, and they still care about each other in their hearts. Otherwise, even if I say it to the sky, Brother Liang will not listen."
This is certainly true, but what Duanrao said that day was also crucial to breaking the deadlock between father and son.
Mrs. Liang wanted to say more words of gratitude, and at the same time get closer to Duanrao.
Unexpectedly, Duanrao just smiled at her, as if he saw through her true intention, and turned his gaze to the little girl beside her.
"Sister-in-law has come all the way here, it shouldn't just be to thank me, right?"
