Chapter 790: 204: So unique! Found the real lifesaver! _1 Chapter 790: 204: So unique! Found the real lifesaver! _1 The person who arrived was none other than Du’s half-sister from the same father, Du Jiaojiao.
Du Jiaojiao was 36 years old this year, but she looked no different from a woman in her early twenties.
She was wearing a fashionable lace dress, her hair was curled in golden waves, and she had on a pair of light black high heels. As she walked, each step clicked on the floor, emanating an aura of authority.
Upon hearing this, Du Jiaojiao asked seriously, “A savior? What happened?”
Du narrated the incident from that night in a calm and composed manner.
His casual demeanor as if the person who almost died that night wasn’t him.
People like Du had long understood the cycle of life and death.
To him, life and death were no more than a cycle.
Du Jiaojiao squinted her eyes in anger and said, “These people are absolutely reckless! No sooner had you left Shanghai than they set their sights on Beijing!”
Du twiddled with his Buddha Beads, “No point getting angry, it’s not good for your health.”
Du Jiaojiao was so angry that she started to laugh, “Who do you think I’m doing this for? It’s all for you!”
Although he wasn’t her full brother, their bond was much deeper than that of ordinary siblings.
Du Jiaojiao then asked, “Have you found out who’s behind this?”
Du Jiaojiao jumped in, “Who is it? I’ll kill him myself!”
Du replied, “There’s no need for you to act, sister. I’ve already taken care of it.”
Du Jiaojiao laughed, “I always knew you were a smiling tiger, pretending not to care on the surface but holding grudges deep down.”
Given her brother’s tumultuous past, his journey to the present has been far from easy.
Along the way, a lot of blood had been shed.
He truly stepped on bones to get where he is!
With one hand on his Buddha Beads and the other tossing some fish bait, he said, “I’m no saint, if someone crosses my line, I’ll naturally pay them back.”
Du Jiaojiao added, “So the young girl who saved you is quite formidable. Haven’t you found her yet?”
Anyone who could save her brother must be extraordinarily skilled!
At the moment, Du Jiaojiao was also curious about what this little girl looked like.
Du shook his head, “It was already dark at that time and the clues were too scarce….”
Du Jiaojiao chuckled, “No rush. As long as destiny dictates, you two shall meet again.”
Du did not continue the conversation.
Du Jiaojiao nudged him with her elbow and giggled, “By the way, do you have some good news to share?”
“What good news?” Du was puzzled.
Du Jiaojiao laughed, “Don’t play dumb! I heard back in Shanghai that you’ve set your sights on a young girl and are thinking about bringing her home as your wife?”
“No,” Du straightforwardly denied.
Du Jiaojiao was speechless, “You’re still pretending in front of your sister?”
“Really, there isn’t.”
Du Jiaojiao frowned, “Tell me honestly, all these years, haven’t you had feelings for anyone?”
Her brother was already in his thirties this year.
He was often surrounded by women and even had two mistresses.
But he had never truly opened his heart to anyone.
He was like an emotionless machine, cold and indifferent.
Du lightly shook his head, “Throughout my life, I have never understood what it is to like.”
Du Jiaojiao then asked, “What about love? Even if you’ve never liked anyone, you must have loved someone, right?”
Du cracked a smile, “Love? What is love? Is it something that can satisfy hunger or thirst?”
Besides, is there really such a thing as love in this world?
He never believed in love between a man and a woman.
He never loved anyone.
He even found it puzzling why some people could make a huge fuss over so-called love.
In Du’s view, this was incredibly foolish behavior.
Du Jiaojiao shook her head in disbelief, “Being with someone like you who doesn’t understand love is so boring.”
Du fiddled with his Buddha Beads, “Buddha said: Life is what we make of it, all things in the world are transient. If the mind is not moved, nothing in the world is moved. If the mind doesn’t change, everything remains the same.”
And his mind would never be moved for anyone.
Du Jiaojiao gave a snort, “There’s a long road of life ahead! I don’t believe you won’t fall for any girl in the future!”
Being human, no one could escape the two words, ‘passionate love’.
Du laughed softly, “If I could fall for someone, would I still be waiting till now?”
Over these years, he had encountered countless admirable women.
Du Jiaojiao gave him a glance, but couldn’t refute his words.
