Xiang Xiaochuang sat silently on the single sofa nearby, and Du Jiawen chose another one. She noticed that he then brewed another cup of green tea and placed it on Du Jiawen's right hand.
She glanced at him in surprise and heard the doorbell. Just as she was about to stand up, Du Jiawen had already smiled at her: "It's my mother, I'll open the door."
What's going on today? Could it be that their family is using their small apartment to have a big party? Or... her heart jumped like a deer, could it be about their marriage?
Unknowingly, her face felt a little hot, and when she saw Liu Qinzhi walking in, she felt a little overwhelmed and embarrassed. After politely saying hello, Liu Qinzhi hesitated for a moment before sitting down next to Du Kang.
The atmosphere was not very harmonious. Xiang Xiaochuang was not a sociable person, not to mention that these two people were her elders. Du Jiawen turned off the TV and turned to Du Kang: "You called your mother and said something happened.
If you want to explain, just say it."
He and Xiang Xiaochuang were opposite each other, and when she raised her head, she could see his slightly flashing eyes. It seemed that there was a layer of worry deep down in her eyes, which made her uneasy.
"Dukang, if you have anything to say, just tell me, we are all our own..." Liu Qinzhi said gently, and Xiang Xiaochuang noticed that she had changed the word "Kang" to "Dukang".
Du Kang took a sip of tea and sighed: "Yes, there are some things that should be explained properly. Si Huai... Shen Bi... they have all gone."
Xiang Xiaochuang held his breath and instinctively felt that what Du Kang said was another shocking secret.
The corners of Du Kang's lips curled up slightly, as if with a hint of sarcasm. "Jiawen, you are really good at arranging everything without anyone noticing. You are here to get back the Liu family's inheritance, right?"
?”
"Yes, grandpa's last wish was to change Du's surname to Liu. So, I just get back what I deserve." Du Jiawen glanced at Liu Qinzhi and said seriously.
"Then...what can I criticize for my actions? Although we are not biological father and son, there is no difference between the Du family and the Liu family in terms of the way we act."
Du Jiawen raised his eyebrows: "The Du family was originally established on the basis of the Liu family. I am just doing this to get back what the Liu family deserves. In fact, the equity in your hands remains intact, and it is still the Du family - from now on
If you want to change the Liu family - the second largest shareholder, the annual dividends will be enough to make you rich and well-fed."
"Back then, I just took back things that belonged to our Du family!" Du Kang answered coldly.
For a moment, the three people and six eyes all looked at Du Kang.
"Perhaps you don't know that the Liu family's fortune actually started with the annexation of the Du family. The Du family fell into decline in the hands of my grandfather and was acquired by the Liu family. My father failed in his middle age and later died of depression. He was an old man.
Before he died, he told me that he must take back our Du family's things intact."
Xiang Xiaochuang and Du Jiawen looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief and panic. Liu Qinzhi, after being stunned for a moment, shouted in a low voice: "No way, you are lying!"
Du Kang's eyes did not look at any of them. It was as if the cup of tea in his hand was enough to attract his whole mind, focused and obsessed.
"Am I lying? Do I still need to lie today?"
"But how is that possible!" Liu Qinzhi still shook her head.
"Back then, when I was only ten years old, I encountered the fate of losing everything. Although my grandfather gradually became active in the business with some private property in his hands, it was naturally impossible to restore the glory of the Du family. And
My father, from the prince of a large conglomerate, became a down-and-out young master. He was pampered too much since he was a child, and he didn't know what it was to be self-reliant. He died young while drinking and worrying all day long."
Liu Qinzhi's fingers trembled and she made a crisp sound as the cup collided with the glass coffee table.
"Impossible, impossible." She shouted in a low voice, "My father..."
Du Kang's hands were also shaking a little, and Xiang Xiaochuang almost suspected that the tea in the cup had spilled out. Uncovering a dusty past seemed to be a kind of harm to everyone.
"So, I have sworn since I was a child that I must acquire the Liu family, no matter what method I use. At least, I want my father and grandfather to rest in peace. For this goal, I studied hard and was forced to give up Sihuai
And Shen Bi. I know that only marrying you is the shortcut to the final goal."
"Then my father...if that's the case, why did my father agree to marry you?"
Du Kang's face turned pale again: "Because... he doesn't know what kind of relationship I have with the Du family. My grandfather used all his connections to change all the household registration certificates for me."
Xiang Xiaochuang took a breath, it turned out that this is the life among wealthy families!
"You..." Although Liu Qinzhi shook her head, her evasive eyes clearly showed that she already believed him.
"Only Shen Bi knows the inside story of this matter. She is a smart girl. She discovered the suspicion very early, so she understands that my determination to marry you will not change. Poor Sihuai... She thinks that I am following the dragon and the phoenix.
The night the child was aborted, she went... completely crazy."
Liu Qinzhi stared at him and suddenly shook her head desperately: "No, it's not like this, it's not..." She helplessly turned her head to look at Du Jiawen and then at Xiang Xiaochuang.
"It's true." Du Kang whispered, with a wry smile on his lips. His expression was desolate and lonely, as if he was like an old tree that had been hollowed out and had gone through countless rainy and dry seasons before finally finally
He paused.
No one doubted his words anymore, and fatigue almost weighed on his brows.
"Then...this Du family...is actually from the Du family?" Du Jiawen quickly clarified his thoughts.
"No, father... He has always been so kind, how could he take away other people's things?" Liu Qinzhi shook her head desperately. This deep-rooted concept cannot be overturned.
"Qinzhi..." Du Kang stretched out his hand and almost fell on her shoulder. He hesitated for a while and then took it back. "No one who is truly compassionate can stand firm in the shopping mall."
"Actually, what difference does it make whether the surname is Liu or Du? In the future, this company will be handed over to the descendants of the Liu family and the Du family." Du Jiawen was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head, "Xiao and I
Chuang’s child has both the surname Du and the surname Liu, isn’t it?”
Xiang Xiaochuang's face turned red. Is this a proposal? There is no need to take advantage of such an opportunity, right?
