Second night. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

----------

Accompanied by Du Xiaodong’s actions, the woman sitting next to him showed an unhappy face. Originally, Chuxia wanted to be polite to Du Xiaodong, but simply accepted his grand gesture with ease, smiling at him: "I’ll pass on your words to my husband, Brother Du."

Back then, Du Xiaodong reported Wang Jianwei’s brother for stealing electrical wires, which led to Wang Jianwei’s retaliation. It just so happened that Zhou Mikang and Chuxia were taking Yun Doudou back to her foster parents’ home, and they rescued him.

Wang Jianwei’s uncle was the workshop director at Du Xiaobei’s factory. Resenting Du Xiaobei for getting both his nephews arrested, he constantly retaliated against him.

Speaking of it, Wang Jianwei’s uncle was also a muddle-headed person. If one didn’t have some connections, how could they get his two nephews sent to jail? As a result, it was predictable that due to his retaliations, he was removed from the position of workshop director and demoted to work as an ordinary worker in the toughest and most tiring workshop.

Instead, Du Xiaobei gradually climbed up the ranks through his hard work.

All of this was actually resolved by Yun Doudou, who entrusted Chuxia to handle it. The actual executor was surely Division Commander Tongzi, and Yun Doudou didn’t hide this from her foster family, which is why this scene occurred.

Du Xiaodong laughed and responded twice, gently nudging the unhappy woman with his foot. She frowned and looked at him, "What are you doing?! You want me to bow to her too?"

"Jinmei!" Du Xiaodong looked at her with displeasure, "I’ve already told you how I’ve come this far, haven’t I? What are you doing?" Before she could speak, he hurriedly turned to Chuxia to explain, "Jinmei hates it when I flatter others; she means no harm, please don’t be mad at her."

"Brother, flattering someone and showing gratitude to someone are two different things..." Yun Doudou quickly interjected, then looked at Jinmei with an indifferent expression, "Sister Kim, since our little temple can’t accommodate your great presence, we won’t force it."

"Hmph!" Jinmei snorted coldly, stood up, and walked out. Du Xiaodong took two steps after her, then hesitated and looked back at his parents, "Let her be." Father Du frowned at him, "A woman like that is not suitable for our family."

Du Xiaodong withdrew, looking dejected.

Du Xiaobei sneered, he couldn’t stand his brother’s cowardice, what was so good about a snobby woman who looked down on others? If it were him, he would have dumped her long ago!

She hasn’t even married into the family yet and already behaves like this. If she truly marries in, wouldn’t the whole Du family be unable to even speak up under her control? And who does that woman think she is?!

Yun Doudou was also very disappointed with her brother’s behavior. Having been fostered by the Yun Family since childhood, her feelings for Du Xiaodong and Du Xiaobei were just like those for her biological brothers. Of course, she hoped her two brothers would be happy. Although she was glad when her brother found a girlfriend, after meeting her, she couldn’t really be happy. Ever since stepping into the Yun Family’s home, she acted as if she was superior to everyone, as if she didn’t understand where her arrogance was coming from!

Fine, it was one thing for her to be arrogant; they tolerated it. But why did she have to be arrogant to her own friends? Especially since her elder brother’s current achievements were all thanks to the help from her friend. Even if she didn’t show gratitude, why throw a tantrum at them?

Looking at her elder brother’s demeanor now, she felt like a wad of cotton was stuffed in her heart. What kind of situation was this?! If they really married such a woman, could her foster parents still have peaceful days?

At that moment, the atmosphere in the hall dropped, and Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong regretted coming here to join the excitement. On a day of great joy, how did it end up like this?

"I don’t like that woman; the way she looks at me is so annoying!"

The one speaking was Yun Guoguo.

Because she hadn’t been polite enough to Yun Doudou’s foster family before, Lan Ailian was now trying to make up for it, so although she saw that Jinmei wasn’t any good and that her attitude toward her own family was excessive, she endured it.

She didn’t expect that holding back would end up like this.

Glancing at her husband, Lan Ailian looked at Father Du and Mother Du: "Brother Du, Sister-in-law Du, actually since you came today, I’ve been quite puzzled about Jinmei’s identity. What does her family... do?"

"Her family and ours used to be neighbors. Later, her father became an official, so they moved to a different place. Earlier this year, I happened to run into her father, and our families started to connect again.

Her father is now the Trade Union President at the Cotton Spinning Factory, and she has always wanted Xiaodong to go work there. We all objected, and she holds a grudge, thinking we don’t know our place.
