Chapter 53 Don’t Believe Rumors or Spread Rumors
"How can their family affairs have anything to do with me?" Du Anrao suddenly felt that the melon seeds in his hand no longer tasted good.
The little sister explained what happened while cracking melon seeds.
"Didn't you predict two words for Teacher Yang on the set before? You predicted that he would have a conflict with someone over money. I don't know who recorded it at the time. While Teacher Yang's incident was fermenting, it was posted online, and it became a hot topic."
The little sister took the juice handed over by Du Anrao and moistened her throat, then continued, "Although the sound and picture in the video have been processed, the whistleblower who sent the video directly named you as the younger sister of Actor Du, so everyone knows that the person in the video is you. Haven't you noticed that there are a lot more photographers outside the crew recently?"
Duan Rao's smile froze slightly, and his eyes showed fear: "Are they here to take pictures of me?"
"Most of them are. Some are from the crew next door who come here to join in the fun and watch."
Duan Rao made a bitter face: "I'm not a monkey in the zoo, why are you all here to watch me?"
The little sister was overjoyed. She laughed for a while before asking mysteriously, "Can you really take on eighty men by yourself?"
Duan Rao: “???”
"No, where did this rumor come from?!!!"
Duan Rao soon found out where the rumor came from.
Out of curiosity that day, she took advantage of the fact that the crew members from the neighboring film crew and the photographers didn't know what she looked like, and she quietly blended into the huge crowd of onlookers.
Then I heard the following conversation:
"Are you here to take pictures of Actor Du's sister?"
"What a coincidence, are you here to take pictures of her too?"
"Have you heard? An insider revealed that Emperor Du's sister is very powerful. She grew up in a Taoist temple and is proficient in fortune-telling, character divination, and feng shui. It is said that many bigwigs in the circle have asked her to tell their fortunes. The teacher Yang Jiantao who has been making a big fuss recently is one of them. Her accuracy is so good that it cannot be any better."
"How long ago is that old almanac news? I'm telling you, there's the latest gossip. According to insiders, Emperor Du's sister is not only good at fortune-telling, but she has also been practicing martial arts with her master since she was a child. Although she looks petite, she can fight several strong bodyguards alone. That's amazing."
Then Duan Rao watched helplessly as this "latest news" spread to a few people and turned into...
"Have you heard? Mr. Du's sister is even stronger than Mr. Du, and can fight against the Eighteen Arhats alone..."
"Have you heard? Actor Du's sister is full of muscles. She can fight 80 muscular men with one hand!"
"Have you heard? Emperor Du's sister is tall and strong, with a waist as thick as a bucket. She can fly and hide in the ground. She is omnipotent. One hundred and eight heroes combined are no match for her."
"Have you heard? Emperor Du's sister..."
Duan Rao: “…”
That’s enough. Who is this insider? Also, don’t believe in rumors or spread them!!!
Feeling that he had suffered a great psychological trauma, Du Anrao decisively chose to skip work and followed Du Yuxi to choose clothes to wear for the banquet that night.
At that time, the two people who walked into a high-end clothing store hand in hand did not know that on the night when Du Yuxi called Li Zhaoyang to tell him that she and Du Anrao accepted his invitation and agreed to attend a private banquet hosted by Mrs. Li, Li Zhaoyang avoided Li Qianxi and knocked on his parents' door with all the things he had found.
When Mr. and Mrs. Li learned the truth, they were shocked beyond words. Mrs. Li, who had always had a good relationship with Du Yuxi's biological mother, couldn't help but burst into tears.
On the one hand, she was angry at Li Qianxi's cold-bloodedness, and on the other hand, she regretted not taking good care of her brother's sister-in-law's child, causing her and her second brother's true bloodline to be left out in the world for so long.
After crying bitterly, Mrs. Li couldn't wait to see this child who was lost outside.
Li Zhaoyang was afraid that his mother's out-of-control emotions would scare Du Yuxi, and he was even more worried that her overreaction would be noticed by Li Qianxi and alert the enemy.
After much persuasion and swearing that her second uncle and second aunt's biological daughter had lived a very good life over the years and had not suffered any hardship, and that in a few days they would be able to meet each other legitimately, Mrs. Li was finally persuaded.
But since that night, one more person started paying attention to Du Yuxi.
Therefore, as soon as the two of them walked out of the hotel, Mrs. Li called her sister who also knew the situation and tried to create a "chance encounter".
"This is the child... yes, it must be her. Look how much she looks like Yingrong." Mrs. Li's eyes turned red as she finished speaking.
Mrs. Xi hurriedly comforted her, "Okay, okay, the most important thing is that the person is well. You should also control your emotions. We will meet again soon. Don't scare the child."
"Yes, yes, yes... Don't scare the child, don't scare the child..."
Thinking that she would have to meet and talk with Du Yuxi soon, Mrs. Li took several deep breaths and tried hard to suppress her rising emotions.
This was Duanrao's first time attending a banquet of this type. With little experience, she was only responsible for standing aside and watching her fourth sister help her match clothes and go shopping like crazy.
This also made her, who was a little bored, notice Mrs. Li and her partner who were sneaking around and trying to get close to them earlier than Du Yuxi.
[Why are those two aunts over there staring at my fourth sister? Could they be from the Li family or someone who knows my fourth sister's mother? ]
Du Yuxi paused while choosing clothes, and then she noticed that two aunties who looked somewhat similar were following them.
Although one of them was obviously trying to restrain himself, he was still visibly excited when his gaze passed over him.
Du Yuxi pursed her lips and tried her best to pretend nothing happened, but she pretended to slip when hanging clothes.
"Hey, be careful!" As expected, the aunt with curly hair quickly stepped forward and helped Du Yuxi catch the fallen hanger before the clothes fell to the ground.
The first meeting between the two people took place in such a somewhat funny way.
"Thank you..." Du Yuxi was the first to react and reached out to take the clothes from Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li finally woke up from her dream and said, "You're welcome."
Having said that, seeing Du Yuxi at such a close distance was like seeing Su Yingrong from twenty years ago again.
Even though Mrs. Li repeatedly reminded herself not to lose her composure, she still couldn't help being a little dazed at this moment.
Du Yuxi also noticed her strangeness and subconsciously touched her face: "Is there something on my face?"
"No...no." Madam Li quickly retracted her gaze, "Sorry, I just thought this lady looked familiar, I wonder if I've seen her somewhere before."
Du Yuxi was slightly stunned. Before she could think about it, Du Anrao beside her had already spoken out what was in her heart.
[Why does this sound so familiar? Wait, could this auntie be Li Zhaoyang's mother? The reasons for the mother and son to strike up a conversation are exactly the same! ]
