"He's the little boy whose parents had just passed away and had no relatives to rely on that I mentioned to Grandpa before. I was lonely and wanted him to stay. Can I, Grandpa?" After that, Du Poisonous Shadow brought me home and brought me to Old Master Du. I didn't refuse because I wanted revenge!
After hearing Du Poisonous Shadow's words, Old Master Du, who had just returned from abroad to attend the funeral, frowned and glared at Du Zhenbang again."What's your name?"
"Dou Zhenbang." I follow my maternal instincts.
"Your parents are both dead and you don't have any relatives?”
"Grandpa!" Du Duying growled in dissatisfaction.
"Shut up first." Old Master Du cut off his grandson's words at the right time.
Looking at his grandfather's determined expression, Du Quying did not understand his grandfather's thoughts, but he knew that if he wanted his grandfather to adopt the boy in front of him, he had to act according to his grandfather's thoughts.
"Yes, sir!" I stared at the old man in front of me seriously. I wanted to show my best side in front of him.
"I adopted you. What can you do for me?”Asking a five-year-old boy such a question might seem strange to others. However, at this moment, that old man might have noticed that I was extraordinary.
"I'll do everything Grandpa wants me to do.”
He probably didn't expect this answer to come from a five-year-old boy. Thus, I was left behind.
That year, I was still only five years old.
I should be glad because no one had seen me before, and no one knew my background. Sometimes, I also wonder if this is God's way of compensating me for not investigating my background…
I should say that the heavens have indeed loved me greatly, or perhaps I should guess that my parents died with their eyes wide open, guiding me to understand the truth of the matter.
That day, as usual, in the temple hall with the red sandalwood floor, Old Master Du bent his knees and leaned against the kneeling mat. The butler stood at the side and did not say anything.
As he grew older, Old Master Du became more and more obsessed with worshipping Buddha. Every time he stepped into the temple hall, he would squat down and sit cross-legged on the futon to recuperate.
Suddenly, he let out a long sigh." Ah-Zhong, actually, I've been thinking about it many times. If I hadn't done that thing back then, if I hadn't forced Lou Jianxun to marry Qixuan, if I hadn't worked hard to suppress Lou Jianxun for Qixuan, would it have led to the disaster back then? Lou Jianxun wouldn't have chosen to die, and Qixuan wouldn't have committed suicide…"
"It's been so long. Old Master, don't think too much.”The butler comforted him dutifully.
Shaking his head, how could he not think," Perhaps if I could have firmly suppressed that heartless Lou Jianxun back then, my daughter would also….. not have to suffer so much and die together with that heartless man!”Raising his head, Old Master Du quietly gazed at the Buddha statue. It was as if he could see his daughter's resentful eyes and resentful accusations.
"Hasn't our family treated him well enough? Do you want me to watch him go on a date with his first love and not care about anything?”Lowering his head, Old Master Du sighed heavily.
"If Old Master and Young Miss hadn't done that thing back then, Lou Jianxun would have no choice but to marry Young Miss. Perhaps…perhaps nothing would have happened today.”
Since the old master insisted on bringing up the past, Ah-Zhong, who had been with the old master for decades, spoke his opinion at the right time." But what the old master did was not anything outrageous. It's not like he didn't benefit from you letting him enter the Du family to enjoy glory and wealth and allowing his status in the business world to rise. Moreover, hadn't Old Master been eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha all these years, silently atoning for what had happened back then? Bodhisattva will definitely forgive Master and Miss. Master, please don't blame yourself anymore.”
Ah-Zhong's words made Old Master Du's heart clench again.
His daughter's death still hurt him. He never expected that his daughter, who had always been strong and unyielding, would walk down the path of despair and not leave a single word for him, his old father.
Qixuan was the pearl that he held in his hands. He had never regretted having only one daughter because he knew that when Qixuan grew up, she would be a strong woman who would not lose to any man. The facts also proved that his judgment as a father was right. Qixuan's ability to run the company was not inferior to his father at all.
However, no matter how shrewd and capable a woman was, she would inevitably fall when she encountered love.
Back then, Lou Jianxun had been promoted from the company's grassroots cadre to the position of general manager. He and his daughter had the same vision and greatly admired this cautious and serious young man. After knowing that he was an orphan and had no family background, he had the intention of taking Lou Jianxun as his son-in-law with his daughter's approval. However, after a private conversation, he found out that he had a girlfriend who grew up in the orphanage with him.
He had once asked Lou Jianxun to consider giving up on his girlfriend, but Lou Jianxun had told him firmly that he would never give up on his girlfriend.
In the end, he respected Lou Jianxun's choice and didn't force him anymore. However, he didn't expect his daughter to love Lou Jianxun so much that she couldn't extricate herself from it. She even said that she wouldn't marry anyone other than Lou Jianxun.
What he didn't expect was that his daughter wanted him to help her complete a scheme she had designed in order to get Lou Jianxun to enter the Du family. She lured an assistant that Lou Jianxun had strongly recommended back then to steal the general manager's seal and empty the public funds. After that, she escaped without a trace and pushed all the blame to Lou Jianxun.
One wrong step meant more mistakes. Old Master Du shook his head. Things were still the same, so he could only frown and sigh.
Back then, he was expanding his business and had little time to spend with his daughter. Out of love and guilt for his daughter, his daughter patted her chest and promised that once the plan was completed, she could handle the matter of the subsidiary company's public funds being emptied. She wanted him to rest assured and leave the matter to her.
Of course, he believed in his daughter's ability. His daughter had generously taken on this responsibility. He also praised her for having the courage to be the future successor of the Tianshun Group. He had also taken after her. As long as his daughter was happy, he would not mind if she could use this matter to force Lou Jianxun to marry into the Du family.
He had thought about going back on his word and stopping it halfway, but the wedding was going to be held the next day. He was afraid of losing face, so he did not stop this ridiculous marriage.
After their marriage, Lou Jianxun and Qi Xuan weren't exactly in love, but at least their days were peaceful. Occasionally, Lou Jianxun couldn't help but visit his ex-girlfriend. Qi Xuan would fly into a rage after knowing about it, so he still had to mediate.
" God is really teasing me…" Old Master Du said sadly." I thought that after Lou Jianxun and Qixuan got married, that woman would marry another man and the two parties would be happy." Who knew…Who knew that the assistant didn't keep his promise back then. He said that he had been scolded by his conscience for five or six years and couldn't take it anymore. He specially came back to Taiwan to look for Lou Jianxun and told him everything.”
Old Master Du was agitated." That brainless fellow. Why didn't he think about how he would feel better if he told everyone about what happened back then and caused two families to break up?”
He did not expect that his daughter would still lose her life because of this marriage. His daughter was really dead, and Old Master Du was extremely sad."It's useless to blame anyone. No matter who's right or wrong, the outcome is still destined. I don't know if Qixuan is doing well over there. I think if I do more good deeds, I can accumulate more Yin Virtue for Qixuan. When they reached there, they could resolve this tangled grudge and everyone would live happily.”
"Old Master has done so much for Young Lady. I think Young Lady will definitely be very happy over there.”
Glancing at Ah-Zhong, Old Master Du gestured for him to help him up."That's right. I hope that Bodhisattva will pass on these blessings to my daughter on account that I adopted Zhenbang. I hope that she will find a good family in her next life, a man who truly loves her, and live happily ever after.”
So, so this was the truth. At that moment, I hated the Du family to the core. I swear that one day, I will definitely make the entire Du family pay with blood, and my family will be destroyed!
