But how could He Chaoyang treat him like this? You know, his maternal grandfather was the soldier who served Old He the longest. Even his maternal grandfather often said that although Old He often said that their relationship was that of superior and subordinate on the surface, they got along like brothers.
So she thought that He Chaoyang wouldn't expose her in front of so many people just because of her grandfather. But how could he not give her grandfather any face at all?
And what did he mean by what he just said? Isn't he going to visit his grandfather for the New Year this year?
You see, Grandpa values He Chaoyang's New Year's visit the most every year. If he knew that because of her, He Chaoyang wouldn't come to visit anymore, then she...
Thinking of this, Du Juan no longer cared about losing face. She hurriedly turned around and grabbed Du Xiangqian's hand, saying, "Brother, you can't tell Grandpa about this when you get back. If Grandpa finds out that Brother He didn't come to visit us for the New Year this year, he will definitely be angry. Grandpa's health isn't good. What if he gets upset during the New Year? Don't you think so, brother?"
Du Xiangqian has always looked down on his older sister. Although they are siblings, he really disapproves of her way of doing things.
She usually relies on her grandfather's arrogant attitude and offends everyone she can at the hospital. She doesn't realize that she's the only one in the entire military hospital who isn't good at her job. If it weren't for her grandfather's influence, do you think she could still stay at the hospital?
Now, she has offended Brother He again by being too clever for her own good. To put it bluntly, her status in Du Xiangqian's heart is far less than that of He Chaoyang.
Moreover, he witnessed his sister's actions the whole time. Not to mention that Brother He would be angry, even he felt angry just watching it.
So, seeing Du Juan's panicked expression, Du Xiangqian felt no pity whatsoever. Instead, he said somewhat angrily, "Even if I don't say anything, if Brother He doesn't come to pay his respects on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Grandpa will still find out. Rather than making the old man wait for those few days in vain, it's better to just tell him directly."
Besides, you've already heard what Brother He just said. He asked me to pass on a message, and if I keep it a secret, I won't be able to explain it to him later.
Du Juan was truly panicked at this moment. If her grandfather found out what she had done today, not only would she be punished, but her mother might also be beaten.
The whole family knew how much Grandpa respected Old He, and also how much the old man valued He Chaoyang.
Her maternal grandfather disapproved of her having feelings for He Chaoyang, and if it weren't for her maternal grandmother's support, she probably wouldn't have been able to even enter her maternal grandfather's house during the Chinese New Year.
Knowing her grandfather's temper, Dujuan knew that he absolutely couldn't find out about this today, at least not today.
Today, all of Mom's sisters are here. If he makes Mom lose face in front of her sisters today, her life at home won't be easy in the future.
As long as she doesn't bring it up today, she'll always find a way to smooth things over.
Yes, as long as her brother doesn't say anything today, she can go to her grandmother and beg her to help her find a solution.
Upon realizing this, Du Juan burst into tears, grabbing Du Xiangqian's hand and pleading, "Little brother, I'm begging you, please?"
You know Mom's temper. If you bring this up today, Grandpa will definitely be angry. With Mom's pride, she would be so upset if she lost face in front of Aunt and the others.
"You don't want Mom to lose face, do you, Qianjin?"
Listening to her sister say that she was afraid of upsetting her grandfather, and then she was afraid that her mother would lose face, she kept going back and forth and wouldn't say that it was actually because she was afraid that she didn't want him to say it.
Du Qianjin felt extremely annoyed and shook off Du Juan's hand, saying with disappointment in his eyes, "Sister, you're worried about Grandpa and Mom, but what were you thinking before you did this?"
Who is Brother He? Over the years, have you ever seen him take a liking to any girl? The only exception was that girl just now.
You said you were saying all sorts of nonsense in front of someone's girlfriend, how could Brother He not be angry?
"Sis, instead of arguing with me here, why don't you think about how to explain this to Grandpa when we get back?"
After saying that, Du Xiangqian ignored Du Juan and turned to leave.
Watching Du Xiangqian's retreating figure, Du Juan's eyes were filled with hatred. She thought that this brat was actually siding with outsiders. She had begged him so much, yet he was still not as good as He Chaoyang's explanation.
This made Du Juan yearn for power even more, because in her heart, even her own brother, who was her closest relative, sided with He Chaoyang and didn't care about her life or death.
Of course, given her selfish nature, she would never consider whether she had done anything wrong; instead, she would always assume that others had wronged her.
Right now, she was already thinking about how to get revenge on Du Xiangqian. It seemed that the guy had been secretly dating someone, and it was because the girl's family wasn't well-off that he hadn't dared to tell his family.
It was none of her business what kind of girlfriend her brother found; in fact, it would have been better if he had found a girl like this who was not presentable.
His mother, who always cares a lot about face, will definitely not be satisfied with such a daughter-in-law. She will add fuel to the fire and stir up trouble. If she can make his mother disappointed in her brother, then all the good things in the house will be hers in the future.
But this incident changed her mind. With her brother being so brainless, she figured she could just find another opportunity to take over the family's belongings later.
Now that brat has made her unhappy, he won't be happy either. When she gets back, she's going to tell everyone that he's taken a liking to a girl from a family with a bad class background.
Maybe with this incident, her scheming against He Chaoyang can be covered up. After all, compared to her accidentally saying the wrong thing, secretly dating the landlord's daughter seems to be a more serious matter.
