Chapter 374 Formal Introduction
"I called you here today because I have something very important to announce." Old Master Du sat in the main seat, his powerful voice echoing in the yard.
Except for the people in Father Du's family who were very calm, the others started to discuss in a low voice. They really couldn't understand what Grandpa Du meant.
But when they saw Gu Tingxiao sitting next to Mr. Du, they were confused and wondered if what Mr. Du was going to announce was related to him?
"Dad, what are you going to announce? And who is the person sitting next to you? Why have I never seen him before? Whose family is he from?" Grandpa Du's second son was very anxious and asked immediately.
"Of course he is a member of our Du family. He is the son of your eldest brother who was taken away by someone. Now that he is back, of course he is a member of the Du family." Grandpa Du announced while hugging half of Gu Tingxiao's shoulders.
"Ting Xiao, the person who just spoke was your second uncle, and the person sitting next to him is your second aunt. The people sitting next to your second aunt are your second cousin, third cousin, dead cousin, and your little cousin!"
Old Master Du introduced the people present to Gu Tingxiao one by one, for fear that he would not be able to tell them apart and make a fool of himself!
"Hello, uncle and aunt, hello to all my cousins, hello to my little cousin!" Gu Tingxiao greeted them one by one. Even though he was not willing to do so, he couldn't be accused of being impolite at this moment, otherwise people would say that there was something wrong with Gu's father and mother's family education.
"Hello!" Uncle Du responded reluctantly with a fake smile on his face!
"Hello! You have to call me cousin from now on." The person who said this was Du Liang.
Except for the two of them who greeted each other, the others seemed to have not heard anything, and did not say a word of greeting. Gu Tingxiao did not think it was a big deal, since they were not familiar with each other. However, there was a frost on Mr. Du's face. Did he ignore his words? Or did his words no longer work?
"Second son's wife, what do you guys mean? You look so sad here, and people who don't know would think you are crying! You don't even know to say hello. Don't you take my words to heart?" Grandpa Du pointed out by name.
"Dad, how dare I ignore your words! I'm just afraid there's a misunderstanding here! Even if the person looks alike, they may not be members of our Du family! Who knows if they're pretending to be someone else!" Second Aunt Du said in a sarcastic tone, almost calling Gu Tingxiao a liar.
Gu Tingxiao didn't get angry after hearing this. For this kind of person, the angrier you are, the easier it is to fall into her trap. Then she will have more reasons to criticize herself. It is better to let Grandpa Du handle this situation.
"Second aunt, you can't say that. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he is my brother." Du Qiao, who was sitting next to Gu Tingxiao, would not allow her to say that about his brother and immediately retorted.
"How dare you, a junior, interrupt the elders when they are talking..." Aunt Du scolded Du Qiao loudly.
"You..." Du Qiao was furious. Don't think he didn't know what his second aunt was thinking. Wasn't she afraid that his brother would come back and their family would get less in the future? Wasn't it just for that little bit of property that she gave birth to so many children over the years?
"What do you mean? You have no manners at all." Of course, Second Aunt Du took this opportunity to criticize her. It was because she usually didn't have the chance, and Mr. Du was partial to his eldest son's family. She had been full of complaints for a long time.
Suddenly there was a loud bang, and a teacup shattered onto the ground. "Shut up, everyone!"
After Mr. Du threw the teacup, he slammed the table hard. No one present dared to make a sound, especially Second Aunt Du, whose head was almost bowed to the ground.
"My second daughter-in-law, Ting Xiao is Du Qiao's younger brother. I know this better than anyone else. Please don't say such hurtful words again. If I hear you say such words again, don't blame me for being biased in the future." Old Master Du didn't care whether his second daughter-in-law would lose face in front of everyone by saying this. He just wanted to give her a warning in front of so many people, otherwise she would not learn her lesson.
