Chapter 59 Broken Her
Li Zhaoyang turned his head stiffly and looked at Du Yuxi, trying to save his brother's precarious engagement.
"It's not what you think. He just... Aunt Xie likes Qianxi more. No, that's not it. She doesn't like Qianxi either..."
For the first time, Li Zhaoyang realized that he was not good at talking. He clearly wanted to say something good for Xie Jingyao, but the more he talked, the worse it got...
Of course, what he didn't know at this time was that there was someone secretly holding him back.
[Hmm, hmm, hmm, it can be seen that Aunt Xie really likes Li Qianxi. The look in her eyes when she stood by and looked at Li Qianxi was so sexy, it was exactly the look she gives her future daughter-in-law.]
Du Yuxi thought of the descriptions in the investigation materials that Mrs. Xie and Su Yingrong were as close as sisters, pursed her lips and said nothing.
[Speaking of which, it would be fine if Mrs. Xie didn't know, but why is Mr. Xie still... Alas, it seems that it is really difficult to persuade the damned ghost with good words. The heroine's halo is too big, so he can only wear this green hat. ]
Du Yuxi's face turned cold. Thinking of Zhang Ranqi's evaluation of him in the hospital before, she really didn't wrong him at all.
"There's no need to explain this to me. I'm just an ordinary guest and I'm not interested in the romantic anecdotes of the host's family."
After Du Yuxi finished speaking, she turned to look at Du Anrao and said gently, "Are you hungry? You came here in a hurry and didn't eat much. Let's go downstairs and find a place to sit. I'll find you something to eat."
Du Anrao was indeed a little hungry, and he didn't want to watch Li Qianxi pretending to be nice in front of the elders, so he nodded quickly.
When Li Zhaoyang saw Du Yuxi's attitude, his heart skipped a beat.
Thinking that he had not had the chance to leave a good impression in front of this future ancestor, he did not dare to speak well of Xie Jingyao anymore.
I would rather die than have a friend die. Brother, you are useless, don’t blame me for not helping you. I really tried my best!
Du Yuxi and the other person wanted to go downstairs, and Li Zhaoyang couldn't stop them, so he could only send them down himself.
Unfortunately, this banquet was originally hosted by the Li family. As a member of the host family, he was the focus of the crowd wherever he went.
This obviously did not meet their expectations for the evening, so unsurprisingly he was driven away by the two sisters as soon as he walked downstairs.
Li Zhaoyang: “…” Oh, so wronged!!!
This was Du Anrao's first time attending a dinner party. Du Yuxi paid close attention to her the whole time, fearing that she might not be used to it.
After going downstairs and finding a corner to settle Duanrao down, he turned around to get her some snacks to fill her stomach.
Duan Rao was very bored, so he began to count the small flowers on the tablecloth with his chin on one hand. Halfway through, he remembered the scene he had just seen upstairs...
[One green hat, two green hats, three green hats...]
The three members of the Du family who had just sneaked into the Li family's gate and Xi Jingyue who was late because of work: Poof...
The people who came in with Xi Jingyue saw him suddenly laugh so funny, with a look of "seeing a ghost" on their faces.
"Mr. Xi, what are you doing..."
"I saw an acquaintance. Sorry, I have to excuse myself for a moment."
Du Anrao didn't know yet that someone was about to arrive at the battlefield. She counted the flowers for a while and started to do nothing again. She was thinking about whether she should go look for her fourth sister when she suddenly heard a quarrel not far away.
"Didn't I tell you not to come out? If you go around hanging around dressed like this, people who don't know would think our Gong family is supporting a poor beggar who doesn't have enough food or clothes to eat. It's so embarrassing."
[The Gong family? The Gong family that takes advantage of others just because they are a little older and wants people to call them Old Gong? ]
The Du family members who were moving towards Du Anrao without leaving any trace said: "..." Husband? What husband? What husband? We don't allow it!
Xi Jingyue, who was only a few steps away from Duan Rao, said: "..." Is he too old? Sometimes he really can't keep up with the ideas of young people.
Du Anrao originally thought that the person being scolded must be dressed very shabbily when he heard the male voice speaking so harshly. However, when Maomao poked his head out to take a look, he found that the girl being accused was just dressed simply.
She wore a white shirt, a black jacket, and a matching black skirt, and only put on some light makeup. She looked like she was here to work rather than to attend a party.
But if you say he's like a beggar...
Duanrao looked down at his attire and felt that he was being implied.
The person being scolded was not angry. She pushed up her slightly heavy black-framed glasses and said, "Mom asked me to keep an eye on you."
Gong Haoming was not buying it: "You're using Mom to put pressure on me? Mom asked you to keep an eye on me, but did she ask you to dress like this to attend the party?"
"The party isn't important. I just got off work and didn't have time to change."
Duan Rao was amazed to hear these words.
[They really came here in their work clothes, awesome! But they have the same mother, are they siblings? How can there be such a bad brother? If this happened in our family, he would be beaten to death! ]
Everyone in the Du family: “…” Not really, not really.
"Then go back home. I'm annoyed by the sight of you."
Gong Haoming did not conceal the disgust and impatience in his tone, but the person who was cursed in person did not care at all and just mechanically repeated his original remarks.
"Mom asked me to keep an eye on you."
Gong Haoming's friends also started to make a noise: "Hahahaha, Haoming, you're already this old, and your mom still has people keeping an eye on you. Is she afraid that you'll get into trouble outside?"
"That's right, if someone doesn't know, they would think you're not weaned yet, hahahaha..."
The ridicule from several people made Gong Haoming even more furious, and the words he said became even more unpleasant.
"Why don't you die when mom tells you to? I'm an adult now, do I need you to keep an eye on me? Who do you think you are? Do you really think you are a recognized member of the Gong family just because you joined the company? No matter how high you climb or how well you do, you are just a dog in our family. Why should a dog like you control me?"
"Because I'm your sister."
"Gong Jinyuan!"
Duanrao was stunned when he heard the loud shout, and his eyes changed as he looked at the two people not far away.
[Gong Jinyuan? So she is from the Gong family that raises children like raising poisonous insects, so this foul-mouthed boy is the little loser who relied on his sister to get into the finals, Li Qianxi's No. 3 licker, Gong Haoming? ]
The Du family members who had already walked near Du Anrao and had been hiding carefully were also startled. This was... something big was going on!
The Gong family is a rare family among the upper-class families in J City. Old Master Gong, the grandfather of Gong Haoming and others, married nine wives and had forty-nine children. Of course, this shocking number includes both legitimate and illegitimate children.
Du Anrao looked at Gong Jinyuan, who was isolated and helpless but had formed her own barrier not far away, with sympathy.
This sister's family can be summed up in one sentence.
[A cowardly father, a crazy mother, a spoiled brother, and a broken girl. ]
Du Family: Phew???
Xi Jingyue had heard some rumors about the Gong family. After hearing Duanrao's summary, he subconsciously glanced at the brother and sister who were still arguing in the corner, his brows furrowed.
