Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Is That the Main Point?

Mother Du was fairly satisfied with this outcome. If she remembered right, the house where Cui Jue Yan and his whole family were now living had also been bought after his marriage. It counted as part of the couple’s shared property.

As long as Du Lian Shuang was hard-hearted enough, she could completely throw that whole family onto the street and leave them homeless.

But in Du He Xuan’s eyes, even this was still too easy on them. Putting aside the disgusting things they had done behind Aunt’s back for so many years, just the matter of their three grandfathers’ cause of death alone was enough that he should not be forgiven so lightly.

Thankfully, Father Du and Du Jun Yan saw things more clearly.

Boss Is Reliable: “No need to be that angry. There is never a shortage of people in this world who like to beat a dog that’s fallen in the water.”

On the surface, Cui Jue Yan seemed kind and friendly, but that only made it easier for people under him to suffer silent losses they could not complain about. These people had held in their anger for years. Once they got a chance to vent it, how could they possibly let it go?

Also, even if someone had never become his enemy before, a man like him, who had climbed to this position from such a poor background, had already made a lot of people secretly jealous of his “good luck.”

After they learned what he had done and that he had been kicked out by Du Lian Shuang, all that jealousy would turn into pure contempt and mockery.

Compared to physical revenge, this was what would really make Cui Jue Yan feel worse than death.

They wanted him to understand that without the Du Family, the big tree that had always sheltered him from the wind and rain, his proud skills and honors were worth nothing.

Big Parent No. 1: “Jun Yan is right. We will keep investigating the matter of your three grandfathers. If we really find it is related to Cui Jue Yan, we definitely won’t let him go. For now, we just need to watch from the sidelines. Don’t forget there is still the problem with Uncle Liao. Even if we do nothing, those father and son will destroy themselves sooner or later.”

When Du He Xuan thought about it, he suddenly realized: right, there was still the matter with Uncle Liao.

Father Du’s family had a very good relationship with Du Lian Shuang, and because of that, they were also quite familiar with Yin Bai Lu and her husband.

No one understood Uncle Liao’s family situation better than Du He Xuan. Since they had dared to scheme against Liao Jing Yi, those father and son had basically tugged a tiger’s whiskers.

Once he figured that out, Du He Xuan calmed down a lot.

He was just about to leave the small group chat and focus on work when a username that was unfamiliar to everyone suddenly popped up.

Scattered Like Sand: “?”

The small group went silent for a second, then exploded.

Big Parent No. 1: “The caveman came out of the cave!”

Big Parent No. 2: “The caveman came out of the cave!”

Boss Is Reliable: “The caveman came out of the cave!”

Wei Yu Ruo Xi: “The caveman came out of the cave!”

Er Le Ge Er: “The missing person has returned?”

Big Parent No. 2: “The one upstairs who ruined the formation, get out.”

Er Le Ge Er: “==”

The Du Family’s third child, the third brother Du Yi Han who had lost himself in the lab, frowned slightly as he watched the strange, excited mood in the group.

Then he glanced up at the group name at the top and suddenly had a weird feeling. It was like he had been in seclusion for a month and came home only to find that his family’s brains had all been eaten by zombies.

Feeling that he did not fit in with this group of idiots at all, Elder Du No. 3 was about to close his phone and go back into seclusion when a chat window popped up.

To be fair, his big brother Du Jun Yan knew his siblings very well. He had successfully guessed what the third brother was thinking.

Boss Is Reliable: “Did you not read the emails I sent you?”

Boss Is Reliable: “Go read them now, right away, this instant. If you don’t, next year your lab’s investment budget will be cut in half. No discussion.”

Du Yi Han: “…”

The poor research institute boss finally had no choice but to bow his head to the evil power of capital and obediently went to read the emails Du Jun Yan had sent him earlier.

One look was enough to fry his brain.

Especially when he saw that they could actually hear the inner voice of their newly found sister, Du Yi Han’s half-squinted eyes flew open wide.

Was the world crazy? How could something so totally unscientific exist? Was the end of science really occult arts?!

Hooked by his curiosity, Boss Du decisively called Du Jun Yan while packing his things.

“Is she still at home now? I’ll come back right away.”

Once again, Du Jun Yan guessed what his brother was thinking. He sneered: “Come back in a few days when it’s their birthdays. Prepare the birthday gifts ahead of time, and don’t act too obvious and let An An notice. If you fail at any of that, next year I’ll cut all your investment.”

Du Yi Han: “…”

As the silence on the other end of the line went on longer and longer, Du Jun Yan thought his brother was upset about the budget getting cut but still unwilling to give in. To his surprise, this time he guessed wrong.

After a long silence, Du Yi Han forced out one unwilling sentence: “Doesn’t that mean I have to prepare two birthday presents?”

It was not that he did not want to prepare a birthday gift for Du An Rao. He just felt that choosing a birthday present was more painful than solving a hard lab problem.

Picking a birthday present for Du Yu Xi before had already killed so many of his brain cells. Now there was another one…

Du Jun Yan: “???” [Is that seriously the main point here?]

Fine. Even he sometimes could not keep up with this brother’s way of thinking.

The whole Du Family was waiting for Liao Yu Qian to first deal with Cui Cheng Ye and make Cui Jue Yan so busy and miserable that he had no time to breathe, then hit him with a heavy blow.

They had not expected that instead of getting a cry for help from Cui Jue Yan, they first got the news that Liao Yu Qian had been sent to the hospital.

When Du An Rao and the others heard about it, they happened to still be at the hospital. Du Lian Shuang was so scared she almost fell right off her bed.

Mother Du hurried to steady her. Her own face was just as terrified.

Du An Rao’s head went blank for a second. She could not tell what she was feeling inside, but her face had gone a little pale.

[Could it be that some futures really cannot be changed?]

Seeing her like this, Mother Du instead calmed down. She walked to Du An Rao’s side, took her hand, and said: “Don’t worry. Maybe it’s just a minor injury. It might not be that serious.”

Only then did the breath that Du An Rao had been holding slowly ease. She realized she seemed to have fallen into a mental trap without noticing.

[Right, it doesn’t have to be as serious as before. Didn’t Ye Meng Zhen’s brother only get a minor injury this time, instead of ending up in a coma like the original plot?]

Du Lian Shuang also came back to herself and took a deep breath: “He’s just upstairs. Let’s go check on him now. We’ll only relax once we’re sure.”

No one disagreed. A whole group of people rushed upstairs. As soon as they reached the floor, they ran into Yin Bai Lu, who had just finished speaking with the doctor.

Her face looked a bit tired, but her spirits were fine. There were no tear marks on her face, which made Du Lian Shuang and the others even more sure of their guess and a little calmer.

Yin Bai Lu froze when she saw them: “Why did you all come up here?”

“You still have the nerve to ask. You suddenly sent a message saying your husband was in the hospital, without any explanation. You scared us half to death. Where is he? How is he? Is he badly hurt? What exactly happened?”

Yin Bai Lu also realized she had done something stupid. She gave them an awkward smile: “Yu Qian only got a small injury. It’s nothing serious. He just needs some rest. It’s just that…”
