Chapter 382: Letting the wolf into the house?
Xi Jingyue's ambiguous inner confession did not immediately impress Duanrao, who was rather slow in this respect. He just said that he had been away from home for too long this time and wanted to go back home to live for a while, and that the matter of visiting the Xi family could be discussed later.
Xi Jingyue did not force him and said that Duanrao could visit their home anytime he wanted. As long as he gave him a call, he would come to pick him up personally.
As soon as these words came out, that person was ostracized by the Du family, who were on full alert, and was once again kicked out of the house miserably.
Thanks to Du Desheng and Xu Ronghai, although the incident in Li Qianxi's live broadcast room caused a big stir, no one came to Du Anrao to take a statement at the police station, and no one was so blind as to come to his door and ask Du Anrao to explain more about what happened in the live broadcast room.
After solving the problems of the Li family and Li Qianxi, the biggest threat to him, Duanrao flew back to S City with his family with satisfaction.
Before this, Du Junyan had already returned home ahead of everyone else, arranged all matters, and also took on the role of picking everyone up at the airport.
Also coming with him was Du Lianshuang, who had received the news in advance and happily came to help pick him up at the airport.
"You are finally back. You have been away for such a long time. Your aunt must have missed you so much." Du Lianshuang hugged Du Anrao as soon as they met. Her tone of voice was so light that it was obvious that she was really happy.
"Aunt, I miss you too. Did you receive the gifts I sent to you and Aunt Yin? Do you like them?"
Du Anrao sent gifts to Du Lianshuang twice. The first time was the jade bracelet he bought from the Yayu family, one for her and one for Yin Bailu. The second time was a family New Year gift package, which was given to Du Lianshuang and her two younger siblings, Du Xiuyuan and Du Yunni.
"I like it, I like it. Your Aunt Yin loves the jade bracelet you gave her so much that she wears it every day. She even sent you a gift during the Chinese New Year, but you were still in City B at the time and it was inconvenient to send and receive gifts, so I sent it to your home. You will be able to see it when you go back later."
"Really? Then auntie, please help me thank Auntie Yin."
"Okay, okay, Xiuyuan and Yunni also like the gifts you gave them. They wore them when they went to school a few days ago."
As one of the lucky ones who could hear the voice of her beloved niece, Du Lianshuang learned early on that the piece of waste stone that they had generously sponsored Du Anrao to buy had actually produced two large treasures that could nourish the meridians and prolong life by wearing for a long time. She also knew early on that Du Anrao was going to polish these two treasures into small ornaments to give to their relatives and elders, so she had been eagerly waiting for years.
After receiving the gift, I posted it on my Moments for nearly half a month, for fear that others would not know what a great gift my beloved younger generation had given me.
Even the two little ones in the family were so moved after receiving the gifts that they welded the gifts to their bodies without her saying anything and were reluctant to take them off even to take a bath.
The school the two attended had strict management, and students were not allowed to wear jewelry during class time. But even so, the two still hid the items in their clothes and took them with them.
Duan Rao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and couldn't help but smile: "As long as my brothers and sisters like it."
The family happily took the car back home. The moment they walked into the house, everyone couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as our own doghouse. No matter how far we go or how many beautiful scenery we see, it is not as comfortable as being at home."
Duan Rao agreed with this and decided to stay at home for a while to recuperate before facing the storms outside that could come at any time.
Apparently, other people thought so too. As a "prominent figure" in the family, as soon as Duanrao returned home with her parents, brothers and sisters, the news of her return home spread throughout the family group.
However, everyone felt sorry for her for the hardship she had endured during this period of time, and considerately gave Duanrao a week to recuperate. After that, they began to tacitly arrange a time to visit her, vowing to make up for the missed New Year greetings.
Du Anrao didn't know the twists and turns here. She just felt that there were more relatives visiting her home during this period, and most of them sounded familiar, as if they were elders who had given her money before.
In addition, an uninvited guest came to the Du family during this period.
"Why are you here?" Du Yuxi was very surprised when she saw the man walking into their house so openly.
After a while, he seemed to remember something, looked Xie Jingyao up and down, frowned and said, "You are the friend my cousin mentioned who came to pick me up."
After getting to know the Li family, Du Yuxi went to J City almost every weekend. Initially, it was to take over the properties left to her by her parents. She also became familiar with the Li family, and this habit was retained.
Du's parents also agreed with this. After all, they could see that the Li family really loved the child left behind by their brother's family. It was a good thing to have more people loving the child. They were real blood relatives and there was no need to deliberately distance themselves from them.
However, the Li family was somewhat worried about this precious child who had been wandering outside and was finally found. Even though Du Yuxi was already an adult, they were still afraid that something uncontrollable might happen to her when she was traveling between the two cities alone. Therefore, every time Du Yuxi went there, Li Zhaoyang would come to pick her up personally.
Today is an exception. Li Zhaoyang did not come, but the person in front of him came... Mr. Xie.
"...Yeah." Xie Jingyao felt like a thorn in his side under the Du family's probing gazes, but he had to bite the bullet and explain, "Your cousin had something happen today and couldn't get away. It just so happened that I had something to do with you guys. I was planning to go back after I finished my business, so I asked me to pick you up on the way."
While the two were talking, Duanrao was sitting on the sofa in the living room eating fruit. Upon hearing this, he sighed while chewing an apple with a frown.
[Isn't this too coincidental? And cousin, have you forgotten that this man was engaged to my fourth sister before? Although because of the substitution of a substitute, this marriage was occupied by Li Qianxi for a period of time, and it is now probably invalid, but...]
How could the Du family not understand Du Anrao's unfinished intention? The look they gave Xie Jingyao became more and more unfriendly.
Thinking of this, Du Anrao stuffed another piece of pear into his mouth, recalling the change in Li Zhaoyang's attitude towards him after he found out that Yue Yang was his sister's savior. He intuitively felt that the other party might not have remembered this at all, otherwise...
[Didn't my cousin accidentally let a wolf into the house? 】
Du Hexuan, who happened to have time to go home and rest today: Haha... this guy who changed his career halfway is just unreliable and has no sense of crisis at all!
Du Yuxi: “…” Although, engagement is just a joke, don’t take it seriously!
