Chapter 276

Du Anrao thought it over and finally nodded in agreement. After her phone call with Third Brother that day, although she had momentarily dismissed the terrifying theory that he might be Dr. Du, she still felt uneasy. Every time she thought about her family—a group of "unlucky stars" that even a jinx would curse upon entering—she felt a lack of confidence. She worried that her Third Brother, who hadn't yet been corrupted by the plot, was secretly brewing something big. She decided to take this opportunity to visit his laboratory; perhaps she might find an unexpected surprise. Just as Du Anrao had anticipated, she had barely finished handling the wedding arrangements for the two elders when Mr. Liu and Ms. Qi rushed over in a panic. She hadn't even had the chance to move into the new house her parents had bought for her before the couple followed the Qiu family mother and son all the way to Jingyu Street. Du Desheng and his wife had heard of the Qiu family mother and son beforehand. Initially, they thought they were only there for the raw stone Du Anrao had previously acquired, but upon accidentally learning the true purpose of their visit, the couple had decisively followed them, ready to watch the drama unfold.
