Chapter 4: To each his own mind

Du family

In the exquisitely and elegantly decorated and antique study, an old man in Tang costume was sipping tea at the desk, and a middle-aged man in his forties stood next to the desk, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of worry.

"What? Can't you do this at all? The old man's sharp eyes glanced at the man beside him dissatisfied, took a sip of tea, and said in a deep voice: "She is already seventeen, it's time to go back to the Du family!" ”

The man's face was not good, and the smile on his face became more and more stiff, but he was still patient, and carefully explained: "Dad, Nian Nian is Gu Qingning's life, she will not give Nian Nian to me!" What's more, we ...... back then."

"You! Look at your little bit of talent! You just have to remember that she is your daughter! The old man immediately interrupted the man's words and scolded angrily.

"No one will refuse the identity of the eldest lady of the Du family!" The old man looked disdainful and spoke firmly.

The man hesitated, and compromised in embarrassment: "Dad...... I...... I...... I'll pick her up in a few days. ”

"Nope! You go now! The old man commanded categorically.

The man frowned slightly, dissatisfied, but still lowered his hand and said respectfully: "Oh, I'll go now!" ”

Only then did the old man show ease, looking at the back of his son's departure, he shook his head helplessly, thinking that he Du Zhenguo was resolute and resolute, and he was decisive for a lifetime, how could he give birth to such an indecisive, weak and infatuated son.

The man came out of the study, his head drooping, his brow twisted into a pimple. Step by step, he walked down the stairs as if he were a thousand gold.

A beautiful woman in her forties immediately greeted her and asked eagerly, "What's wrong with Jing Qi?" What did Dad say? ”

"An Qian, I'm fine, Dad asked me to pick up Nian today." Du Jingqi pinched the bridge of his nose, looked tired, bypassed Tong Anqian, and sat on the sofa.

Although Tong Anqian had long known that Du Hengnian was going back to the Du family, when Du Jingqian really wanted to pick up Du Hengnian and return to the Du family, resentment and dissatisfaction still filled her whole body. What should come will come! She glanced at Du Jingqi out of the corner of her eye, and said softly: "Jingqi, since Dad has already given the order, you can go and bring her back, I will definitely regard her as my own." ”

"It was all my fault back then, I was sorry for Sister Qingning, she hated me and resented me, and I didn't regret falling in love with you. Now even if she beats me or scolds me, I willingly accept it, but I just pity Hengnian that child. Growing up in a single-parent family full of hatred, I was afraid that she would ......" Tong Anqian cried quietly in the man's arms, looking pitiful to me.

"Hey! Don't worry, Qing Ling won't hate you, it's not your fault, don't mind too much about what happened back then. Du Jingqi sighed and said.

"It's just that you're going to have to work harder in the future, and you still need to bother to teach and recite the etiquette of the upper class!" Du Jingqi hugged Tong Anqian into his arms.

"Well, don't worry, I'll definitely teach her etiquette." Tong Anqian nodded, turned around and showed a sneer that didn't leave a trace, and then walked into a dreamy and luxurious princess-like bedroom.

A girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old asked in a panicked manner, "Mom, does Dad really want to pick up that Du Hengnian in person?" ”

Tong Anqian was distressed when she saw her daughter's anxious appearance and said, "Hmm! Xuanxuan, from today onwards, you must behave well, and you must not let your grandfather be dissatisfied. ”

"Why! I am the real eldest lady of the Du family, the unique eldest lady of the Du family! The girl clapped her chest excitedly and screamed.

"She, Du Hengnian, is just a vulgar wild girl! Is Grandpa old and confused? Otherwise, why let Dad pick her up! Du Hengxuan was furious and shouted hoarsely.

"Shhhh Calm down, this is what your grandfather meant, and no one can disobey him. Tong Anqian frowned and covered Du Hengxuan's mouth and said dissatisfied.

"Mom, what do you think I should do? Is it difficult to make such a concession? I can't, absolutely not! The girl tore off Tong Anqian's hand, lowered her voice and roared angrily.

"Xuanxuan! What does she have Du Hengnian? There is only one cowardly bun girl, no money and no power, and we still have the support of the Tong family behind us, Xuanxuan, you have to learn to be patient, and the future will be long. Tong Anqian said word by word, full of hatred. She won't let Gu Qingning's daughter have a good time!

At this time, Du Hengnian shivered several times inexplicably at home, and he couldn't catch a cold on a hot day? School is about to start, so don't catch a cold again. I quickly got up, poured a large glass of warm water, and drank it.

Weicheng No. 1 Middle School, where Du Hengnian is located, is not only the best senior high school in the city, but also a provincial demonstration middle school directly under the Provincial Department of Education.

The school has a large number of famous teachers and rigorous learning. For a long time, Weicheng No. 1 Middle School has a different holiday management model from ordinary colleges and universities, and it starts one month earlier than ordinary universities.

Du Hengnian felt that the summer vacation was coming to an end, but the quality of sleep was surprisingly good, he had no dreams all night, and he slept at dawn.

It's just that the recent days seem too peaceful, as if the severed finger man wearing the peaked cap and the pockmarked man with the black Santana don't appear in his real life.

However, Du Hengnian had a hunch that the so-called "lady" would not let him go.

"Niannian, Mom is discussing something with you, do you want to go to your dad?" Gu Qingning pushed open the half-hidden door, approached her daughter, and spoke.

"Your father came, just in the living room, saying that he wanted to take you back to Du's house." Gu Qingning was in a very conflicted mood at this time, she was really reluctant to give up her daughter, but as Du Jingqi said, when she returned to Du's house, Du Hengnian would have a better life. The most important thing is that the Du family is safe now.

It's just that Gu Qingning couldn't imagine that she would push her daughter, who loves her to the bone marrow, into another turbulent and dangerous whirlpool!

Du Hengnian was silent.

Gu Qingning saw her daughter, who was still smiling just now, and in a blink of an eye, she was indifferent and gloomy, as if her heart was torn apart!

"Niannian, you listen to your mother, it's not that your mother doesn't want you anymore, but that your mother has an important thing to do recently, and she has to go far away, at least a month, and at most half a year to come back. Mom is not by your side, no one takes care of you, afraid that you are in danger. Gu Qingning felt sorry for her daughter's sensitivity and explained eagerly.

"It just so happens that your father wants to pick you up and take you back to the Du family, and your grandfather also wants you to go back, with the Du family's financial resources and power, no one can hurt you! Don't worry, when your mother comes back, you can come back to see your mother at any time, nothing will change, but the place where you live has become bigger. Gu Qingning's eyes were slightly red, holding Du Hengnian's hand, and there was a hint of pleading in her words.
