Chapter 151 This is not the same at all
Chapter 151 This is completely different
At that time, Du Anrao was unaware that although he was not in J City, he was living on in some widely circulated myths in J City through someone else's words.
As soon as the call connected, she got straight to the point and briefly explained her second cousin's situation.
"That's how it is. My second cousin's wife seems carefree and has a cheerful personality, but in reality, she's a bit simple-minded and not very good at scheming or backstabbing. She doesn't dare to tell her family when she's bullied outside, which really worries them."
Qiu Jichen had been helping his mother handle all the company's affairs since he was a teenager, so he could easily understand the meaning behind Du Anrao's words. Cold sweat poured down his forehead.
Du Anrao had saved his life before, and he and his mother had always kept that in mind, wanting to find an opportunity to repay her.
Unexpectedly, Master Du had a cousin-in-law who worked at their company and was being bullied by the people there. Qiu Jichen didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if his mother found out about this, and whether she would be so angry that she would make him kneel in the ancestral hall!
"It was indeed my oversight that caused this. Please rest assured, Master Du, once I get to work tomorrow, I will investigate the whole story and give you and your sister-in-law an explanation."
Hearing his earnest tone, Du Anrao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a faint smile, "I just want you to help me find out who this Miss Zhou is. If it's really difficult for you, could you help my sister-in-law switch departments, at least to separate her from them and make things less difficult for her?"
"No problem, no problem." The more Qiu Jichen listened, the more he felt that Du Anrao was very righteous, even caring about whether he was in a difficult position at a time like this.
While touched, he was also somewhat apprehensive, fearing that Du Anrao might think he hadn't done his job properly.
"Master Du, you're too kind. This was our company's oversight. Don't worry, I'll find someone to find out what happened right now, and I'll give you an explanation today."
"Then... I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Qiu."
When Du Anrao returned to the living room after ending her call with Qiu Jichen, everyone in the room had just finished their conversation. Upon seeing her return, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly got up to greet her.
"An'an, how is it? What... did they say over there?"
"Mr. Qiu said he'll go to the company to find out what's going on and give me an answer today." Du Anrao patted his fifth aunt's hand to comfort her. "Don't worry, although Mr. Qiu is a bit love-struck, his character is still fine. Even if he can't touch that Miss Zhou, he can at least get my second sister-in-law transferred out so she can stay away from Miss Zhou."
"That's good, that's good. Thank you so much, An'an."
"It was nothing, Auntie, you're too kind. We're all family, we should help each other out."
“An’an is right. We’re all family, so there’s no need to be so polite. Since Mr. Qiu promised to give us the results today, and it’s not easy for you to come all this way, why don’t you have lunch at home and relax a bit longer, and see if we can get a result before dark, so that everyone can feel at ease.”
The two families exchanged a glance and both nodded: "Then we'll have to trouble you."
The news that the two families of the fourth and fifth aunts were staying for lunch somehow reached Du Lianshuang's ears. This aunt, who had just resolved her marriage issues and returned to being a golden single woman, also brought her family, including her two children, to the Du family for a free meal.
It's rare for the house to be so lively; the large round table, which takes up most of the dining room, is almost too small to accommodate everyone.
After lunch, Du Lianshuang unabashedly boasted about her glorious achievements in defeating the "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who marries into wealth) and the mistress who was her child bride, leaving the families of Fifth Uncle and Fourth Aunt speechless.
Du Lianshuang sued the two men on charges of bigamy and fraud, demanding that they return all marital property and proceeds of fraud. This matter happened to be one of the tasks handled by her second cousin's department.
They immediately gave their aunt several suggestions, guaranteeing that Cui Jueyan's family would vomit up everything they had eaten and end up losing everything. The families were all eager to offer advice to each other, acting like close brothers and sisters.
Du Anrao thought the families had a good relationship, but little did he know that the grandfathers were scattered in different places, and although these cousins were related by blood, they rarely had the opportunity to get together, so their feelings for each other were not very deep.
The reason they are so close and can talk about their families without any reservations is entirely because of Du Anrao.
Before these things happened, Du Anrao could still offer some advice.
For those like Du Lianshuang, whose situation has almost completely settled, she can just sit quietly in a corner, eating melon seeds and waiting for a happy ending.
These gossips about family ethics are just right for adults, but a bit too profound for children.
Du Anrao had just finished eating sunflower seeds and casually picked up an apple when he suddenly felt his legs become heavy. Looking down, he was met with two pairs of bright, watery eyes.
"Why...did you all come here?"
The two children, who were hiding behind their parents in the morning and didn't dare to look her in the eye, are now running to her side to play.
"Hello, my name is Du Zhelei, my mother's name is Du Zixuan, and my father's name is Du Hongyun. Zhe is the Zhe of philosophy, and Lei is the Lei of uprightness."
Du Anrao was stunned by the little guy's serious introduction and once again marveled at the precociousness of children nowadays. At only three years old, he could speak such long sentences in a clear and logical manner. Amazing!
"Hello, hello, I am Du Anrao, your... aunt."
"Auntie, thank you."
"Thank me?" Du Anrao was stunned. He shook the other person's small hand twice, looking puzzled. "Why are you thanking me?"
"Mom said that you helped our family and saved me, and we should all thank you."
Du Anrao was even more confused when she heard this. If she remembered correctly, she had only vaguely told her fourth aunt about the relationship between the male and female protagonists and the little guy's true identity. With that little bit of information, it shouldn't count as saving him, right?
The adults inside were talking, but they still paid some attention to Du Anrao. As soon as they heard what the child said, they knew something bad was going to happen!
Fourth Aunt was the first to react, quickly stepping forward to pick up the child and saying, "Leilei is right. If An'an hadn't told us the truth so early, these two would have been awkward for who knows how long before they could talk things out."
"Last time the child was injured, we were very grateful for the help of kind people. Afterwards, Zixuan was so scared when she found out that her legs went weak, especially when she learned that direct blood relatives cannot donate blood. Hongyun was so anxious at that time that he almost stepped in himself. It was truly a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."
Du Anrao sensed something was wrong, but couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he simply waved his hand and said, "Then we should thank that kind person."
"You should thank the kind person, and you should thank them too, it's all the same."
Du Anrao: "???" No, how are these the same?
