"Are you marrying off your daughter or selling her?"

Du Xiaojuan had already endured a lot, but in the end she still couldn't help but say such a sentence.

Du Guoqing, however, didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, and said righteously:

"A married daughter is like water splashed out, not much different from selling her. After you marry, I bet you won't come back to see us much!"

Du Xiaojuan was speechless for a moment.

Actually, let alone after marriage; even now, before marriage, she avoided going home whenever she could.

Several times during previous Spring Festivals, she made excuses about overtime work and spent the holiday alone in Guangzhou.

It was precisely this kind of family atmosphere that forced her to be independent and strong, to keep growing and getting stronger, because she knew well that although she had a complete family behind her, her home was not her reliance.

Only by becoming strong could she gain a bit of security.

So she worked desperately and started businesses with reckless abandon.

In terms of feelings, it had instead become secondary for her.

If she could meet true love, that would be great.

If there was no love, it wasn't a big deal either.

For example, with Wang Dashan, she knew she loved him and knew he loved her, but if it made her uncomfortable, she would decisively propose a breakup; she wouldn't torment herself for so-called love.

And all of this was the influence her original family had brought her.

"Right, right, right, you're right. A married daughter is like water splashed out. Don't worry, when I marry Dashan, I definitely won't give you a single cent less in bride price."

Du Xiaojuan said this in a not very friendly tone.

"What do you mean? What do you mean you won't give us a single cent less in bride price? The bride price is for you! It sounds like we're after your bride price!"

Du Guoqing said coldly.

"Isn't it?"

Du Xiaojuan directly retorted.

Du Guoqing was surprised.

For a moment he couldn't speak.

Lin Xiudi hurriedly said:

"We will use your bride price to buy a house for your younger brother first, so that your brother can find a partner more easily. Don't worry. When we have money in the future, we will definitely pay it back to you. You don't want your brother to never find a partner, do you?"

Du Xiaojuan smiled and said nothing.

How could she not know what her parents were like?

Saying they would pay it back when they had money, but actually they didn't even want to think about it.

Once this money was used to subsidize her younger brother, don't even think about spitting it out again.

"Then I wish Du Jiabao finds a partner soon!"

Du Xiaojuan didn't want to quarrel with her parents, so even though she had countless dissatisfactions in her heart, in the end they turned into a blessing with a hint of mockery.

"Anything else? If not, I'm hanging up. I have to go to the assembly line to work, otherwise the line supervisor will scold me again."

Du Xiaojuan said this.

Now when she lied to her parents, she didn't need to draft anything at all; she could just make it up on the spot, very smoothly.

After hanging up the phone, Du Xiaojuan let out a long breath of turbid air.

She had always not known how to tell Wang Dashan the true situation of her parents.

She was really afraid that after Wang Dashan saw her parents' ugly faces, he would choose to break up with her.

Even though she constantly reminded herself in her heart that even if she broke up with Wang Dashan it didn't matter, and that one could live without love,

still, she was very worried and uneasy.

However, if Wang Dashan really chose to break up with her because of this, she would understand.

Who would be willing to marry a woman with a vampire family as a wife?

If she were a man, she wouldn't want to either!

Because marrying such a woman meant that you would be bled dry by the family behind her.

And it wouldn't be just for a short while; it would likely be for a long time, even a lifetime of being bled dry.

Du Xiaojuan was holding her forehead, with a thousand thoughts in her heart.

At this moment, a knock on the door came from outside the office.

"Come in!"

Du Xiaojuan looked up, hurriedly put away all her messy emotions, and restored the appearance of a strong woman.

Only to see a young woman in her early twenties walk in.

She was the Operations Director of Xiao Du Technology, Zhao Xinyi.

Zhao Xinyi was responsible for internet product operations.

This young girl had graduated not long ago and had strong work ability. Previously, she was asked to be responsible for the operations of a niche category of products. Du Xiaojuan actually had no hope for this at all, thinking it was normal to lose money, just to supplement the category.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xinyi actually made this category explode and earned quite a lot of money.

So Du Xiaojuan promoted her to be Operations Director.

"Xinyi, is there something?"

Du Xiaojuan smiled and asked Zhao Xinyi.

Zhao Xinyi laughed cheerfully:

"Sister Juan, I heard you're going to Beijing for National Day travel—can you bring me along?"

Du Xiaojuan was stunned, somewhat surprised:

"Bring you along?"

Zhao Xinyi still laughed cheerfully:

"I heard Sister Juan that your boyfriend has a younger brother, a top student studying at Tsinghua University in Beijing, hehe……"

Du Xiaojuan suddenly realized, and at the same time, was greatly surprised:

"You little girl, your news is quite well-informed—you even found out about this!"

What surprised Du Xiaojuan even more was that Zhao Xinyi actually took the initiative.

Generally, beautiful women with some looks are proud and arrogant, thinking many men will pursue them, so they never take the initiative.

Unexpectedly, this Zhao Xinyi actually came to find Du Xiaojuan on her own initiative, hoping to contact Wang Dashan's younger brother through Du Xiaojuan's connection.

This woman is not ordinary—not only does she have goals and drive, but her cheek is also exceptionally thick.

No wonder she could make a niche category explode; with this ability, what couldn't be accomplished?

However……

"Have you seen my boyfriend's younger brother? Do you know what he looks like?"

Du Xiaojuan asked this question.

"I haven't seen him, but I think he shouldn't be too bad, after all, Sister Juan, your boyfriend is so tall and handsome—how bad could his brother be?"

Zhao Xinyi answered like this.

Du Xiaojuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Before, she hadn't seen Wang Xiaohua, and would have thought Wang Xiaohua couldn't be too bad in looks, after all he had a tall and handsome older brother like Wang Dashan.

But after seeing Wang Xiaohua with her own eyes, she finally understood what "a world apart" meant.

Wang Xiaohua was not only short in stature, but his teeth were also uneven, with buck teeth and a protruding mouth; to put it without exaggeration, even among ordinary people, he could be considered ugly.

"Sister Juan, what are you laughing at?"

Zhao Xinyy was somewhat bewildered.

She greatly admired those academic stars, especially tall and handsome academic stars—in her heart they were practically perfect partners, so she had plucked up the courage to ask Du Xiaojuan to help make the introduction.

Du Xiaojuan didn't directly answer Zhao Xinyi's question, but asked again:

"Xinyi, are you an appearance-control person?"

Zhao Xinyi thought for a moment, then said tactfully:

"Not exactly an appearance-control person; as long as he's not too bad, anything is acceptable. If he's a student from Tsinghua or Peking University, even slightly lower looks would still be acceptable."

Hearing Zhao Xinyi say this, Du Xiaojuan replied:

"Since you've put it that way, fine then. Go buy a high-speed rail ticket for the 30th and see if you can still get one. If you can, we'll go to Beijing together."
