Chapter 1634 - 1634 Money Makes the World Go Round

1634 Money Makes the World Go Round
At that time, the Du family was just an ordinary family. They used all their money to send Du Bo to school. Fortunately, Du Bo managed to become a police officer and brought honor to his ancestors.

His mentor often brought him out to drink and fool around, going to all kinds of bars and casinos. He lived a very carefree life and his mentor was very rich and thought highly of him.

Unexpectedly, after getting drunk one time, Du Bo slept with a woman from one of those places and that woman even became pregnant with Du Bo’s child! That child was Du Huai.

Du Bo had originally thought that since things had come to this, he would marry the woman and take responsibility for the child. To him, it was not that bad a life. However, he did not expect his mentor’s daughter to find him unforgettable after meeting him just once and that she insisted on marrying him. His mentor doted on his daughter very much, so he forced Du Bo to marry her. His mentor’s daughter was Feng Niao.

After that woman gave birth to Du Huai, Du Bo’s mentor sent someone to kill her and brought the child back for Feng Niao to bring up. Feng Niao always thought that she treated Du Huai quite well and treated him like her own son. This happy family might have lived like this for the rest of their lives, but Du Miao’s birth broke the harmony of this family.

Feng Nian became less and less concerned about Du Huai and even started to ostracize him. She felt that Du Huai was snatching away Du Miao’s assets and ignored Du Huai at every turn. Even when Du Huai was sick, Feng Nian did not care about him.

By chance, Du Huai found out about the cause of his biological mother’s death from the helper at home. Ever since then, Du Huai would bully Du Miao in ways which no one could see. He put on a good act outside, as if he was an elder brother who doted on his younger brother. However, in private, Du Huai would hit and insult Du Miao, even pushing Du Miao into the water.

After Du Huai reached adulthood, he left the capital, the place which made him sad.

“Sigh… Du Miao really left?” Du Bo asked weakly as he looked at Du Huai who had just returned.

Du Huai frowned slightly and said unhappily, “Yes, he’s gone.”

He did not expect that after so many years, Du Miao was still the most important person in Du Bo’s heart. He was the elder son, but he was nothing. No matter how much he had sacrificed for the Du family, he was still nothing in Du Bo’s eyes.

“Father, I have another idea,” Du Huai said as he sat beside Du Bo.

“I’m old and weak. I’ll leave this matter to you. You must take fast action!” Du Bo said.

Du Huai disguised himself and then went to Zhou Luo’s house. The family had basically sold all the things in the house. In the past, they still had the Xia family’s financial support. Now that Zhou Luo was not welcomed by the Xia family and the two children were disappointing, the family no longer had any income.

“Who are you?” Zhou Luo asked as she looked at Du Huai.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. What’s important is that I know what you need.” Du Huai took out a thick envelope from his bag and threw it in front of Zhou Luo.

Zhou Luo picked the envelope up curiously and opened it. There was a total of 5,000 dollars inside.

“This…” Zhou Luo looked at Du Huai excitedly. He was simply like an immortal who had descended to the mortal world! Their family was saved!

“This is only the down payment. After this matter is done, I’ll give you another 10,000 dollars as a reward. I just don’t know if you dare to carry out the task,” Du Huai said.

“Of course! There’s nothing that we dare not do!” Zhou Luo said confidently.

Du Huai smiled mockingly. He had not even said what the task was, but Zhou Luo had already agreed to it. It seemed that the phrase “money makes the world go round” was quite true.

He told Zhou Luo the entire plan. Without a second thought, Zhou Luo agreed to Du Huai’s request and promised him that she would definitely complete the task!

“I still don’t know your name?” Zhou Luo asked.

“My name is Du Miao,” Du Huai said with a smile.

“Alright! I’ll remember that! I’ll definitely call you and tell you when it’s done!” Zhou Luo said.

After Du Huai left the Zhou family’s house, he did not return to the Du family residence. Instead, he took his luggage and left the capital. This was all he could do. He would now wait to watch the rest of the show.

Zhou Luo no longer had any credibility in the Xia family. If she went for a visit now, the Xia family members would probably use big sticks to chase her out. However, it was different for Xia Lu and Xia Yan. These two were the Xia family’s biological children! Could the Xia family really be so heartless that they would even refuse to acknowledge their own descendants?
