Chapter 189 A Perfect Match
"Dad, he said he hadn't thought the consequences deeply, but don't believe him. We're not children anymore." Du Hongxue was furious upon hearing these words.
Du Heming sighed deeply, "I know, Hongxue, but I just don't want to delve into it anymore, it's pointless. Firstly, he didn't achieve anything, and he wasn't usually too bad. Secondly, and most importantly, he was used as a pawn."
"Dad, Auntie, no, isn't Wu Jinfeng afraid of being exposed? Zhan Feipeng can identify her, right?" Zuo Jinyue now hates the audacious Wu Jinfeng to death.
"Xiaoyue, you don't understand this woman. What is she afraid of? She's not afraid of boiling water. What's wrong with pointing her out? I bet she'll just say she's our aunt. Buying things for the child is normal. She had the shop assistant check those things again and again, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with them."
As for the switched "teething sticks," what business was it of hers? It was all Zhan Feipeng's doing, and she didn't say anything.
And if Zhan Feipeng brings up what she said, she'll have even more to say. She could claim she was testing Manager Zhan for us, making herself a saint. Of course, she could just deny it outright; she's just a fickle and shameless person anyway.
Du Heming nodded, "Yes, Hongxue, your analysis is spot on. That couple is a perfect match! They work together perfectly, scheming against others without getting a single thing on themselves."
You know what? The next day, I took your uncle Du Hexiang's photo directly to the hotel staff and asked them. Someone remembered seeing him that day. He didn't stay long, but that was enough. He probably went to identify people and give instructions. He's completely capable of getting people to say things according to his own ideas, his own script, and make them say ambiguous things to get to Jin Feipeng's ears.
Du Hongxue comforted his father, "Dad, don't be too sad. Let's just pretend this uncle doesn't exist. Anyway, we've never benefited from his influence, and we've often been scolded by him."
That evening, in her bedroom, Zuo Jinyue asked, "Hongxue, what kind of person is your uncle?" Zuo Jinyue was genuinely curious. Shouldn't a general be someone to be respected? But the whole Du Hongxue family gave her a strange feeling.
My father-in-law is always very polite to his older brother, not like he would treat his own brother; and my mother-in-law is even more indifferent, especially at these recent gatherings, where she keeps her seated far away, as if avoiding her.
"My uncle, well, when I was little, my grandfather made me learn martial arts, and I was very happy. Back then, he was my idol, and I wanted to be like him, going to the battlefield to fight the enemy and becoming an officer."
I told you you wanted to join 'Dark Night,' right? It's the elite of the military. Unfortunately, I'm not as good as Uncle Huo, so I wasn't selected.
I went to my uncle for help, hoping he could say a few words to me, but he got very angry and scolded me, saying I was arrogant and ignorant.
I felt very wronged and told my grandfather, but my loving grandfather did not help me this time. He even told me not to mention "Dark Night" in front of my uncle.
I couldn't understand it, so I kept pestering my grandma to ask her why. You know what? It's just because Du Hexiang didn't get selected back then, and ever since then he's never allowed anyone in the family to mention him. I've crossed a line!
I look down on him. When I failed to be selected back then, I was only annoyed by my own lack of ability, but I didn't hate 'Dark Night'. But what about him?
From then on, his image in my mind plummeted—a person with no tolerance for others and no self-reflection was unworthy of being my idol! I despised him and kept my distance. Later, when I was eighteen, he became a 'general,' which surprised me greatly, and I completely gave up my original ideas, abandoning that 'dark night' dream of chivalry." Du Hongxue lit a cigarette, smelled it, and then stubbed it out.
