Du Yujiao's behavior, in the eyes of Zhu Bufan and Zhu Dayou and others, seemed overly fussy because when Zhu Bufan and Zhu Dayou were in the village, they had always relied on their fists to do the talking.

But this did not mean that Zhu Bufan was brainless. Du Yujiao coming over to persuade him without regard for her status was also for his sake, fearing that he might get into trouble.

Zhu Bufan was dragged into the car by Du Yujiao, and Zhu Dayou was also dragged into the car after being sought out, then Du Yujiao locked the car door, ran inside and negotiated with the Wang Family for a long time, and finally got up to leave, not knowing what she had told the Wang Family, who surprisingly hadn't called the police despite such a big incident.

On the surface, it seemed like the matter ended just like that, but behind the scenes, it wouldn't end so easily. The Wang Family was definitely going to seek revenge.

Du Yujiao had Zhan Feiyu drive the car in front, and she dragged Zhu Bufan to sit in the back row, not knowing why she suddenly got emotional, continuously holding Zhu Bufan in her arms and crying. It made Zhu Bufan utterly confused, not knowing what to do.

Was it really necessary to make such a fuss? I just recognized you as my godmother before, right? Look, even my "real mom" Zhao Juan isn't holding me and crying like this. We've known each other for just a couple of days, what are you fussing about?

It wasn't Du Yujiao's fault though, her mindset hadn't changed yet; previously she only had two daughters, Zhan Feiyu and Zhan Feihuang, with Zhan Feiyu being naturally frail and Zhan Feihuang being a little simple-minded. From some perspectives, both girls belonged to the "vulnerable group."

If no one protected them, they would definitely often be bullied. Du Yujiao was used to protecting them all the time, and whenever something happened, she subconsciously thought her own people were at a disadvantage, and so she cried.

Even though Zhu Bufan didn't suffer a setback this time, it couldn't dispel the shadows in her heart. Basically, that was the scenario. Zhu Bufan had to quickly understand this situation.

There was silence on the car ride home. After returning home, Du Yujiao checked Zhu Bufan four or five times to confirm that he wasn't injured. After making sure, she finally stopped crying and pulled Zhu Bufan into her room.

"Zhu Bufan, why did you act so impulsively, rashly getting into a fight? Don't you have any consideration… Even if you wanted to fight, you should have brought some people with you. You alone against their whole group, what if something went wrong and there was no one to back you up?"

Du Yujiao changing her statement midway almost made Zhu Bufan burst out laughing. What are you trying to say, should I go fight or not? Are you criticizing me or encouraging me?

Zhu Bufan responded gravely: "Mom, this matter isn't over yet. Wang Jiangjun had people vandalize our Chunjiang New Village, causing a bad impact on society. Certainly, no one will want our properties now. We must recoup our losses from him; otherwise, we'll be completely ruined!"

"You…" Du Yujiao raised her eyebrow, hand poised to strike but ultimately she didn't slap him, rather she just spoke calmly: "The sale of the new village might be affected, but it's not a total loss yet. I will find a way to have the police station set up in our new village these few days, which should minimize the impact of this incident.

Indeed, the reason that this gang dared to cause trouble in Chunjiang New Village in broad daylight was merely exploiting the security lapse of the new village. There's no police station in the new district, and the nearest station in the town is across the river from Chunjiang. Moreover, there's no direct bridge connecting to the new village, making communication very inconvenient.

Additionally, that stretch of rural road is extremely narrow, and just one vehicle breaking down could block the entire road. The transportation is extremely inconvenient.

If there were police stationed to control the area, things would definitely be much better.

Du Yujiao then asked: "Zhu Bufan, what exactly is going on with you and Xiaojia? I heard that the two of you came ashore naked that day?"

"No, absolutely not," Zhu Bufan denied firmly: "That day we were boating on Chunjiang, she accidentally fell into the water, I went down to save her, and then we had an argument in the water, and our clothes got torn."

"Oh, is that so," Du Yujiao said gravely, "Zhu Bufan, Xiaojia... It's okay to accommodate her sometimes, but you two really aren't suitable for each other. You should cherish Xiaoyu instead. I will also take care of the Chunjiang New Village matter for you, rest assured."

"How could I possibly accept that?" Zhu Bufan spoke earnestly, "Mom, isn't your company also very busy? What will happen if you come over here?"

"Let Zhan Yucheng stay busy by himself, I'm not going back for now. Seeing Zhan Feilong, that dead brat, just blocks up my heart!"

Ah, Zhu Bufan unconsciously admired himself in his heart, am I better than Zhan Feilong?

Du Yujiao immediately responded: "Zhu Bufan, you don't need to look for your birth mother anymore, I am here. I checked your ancestry, where I have been before, it might be…"

"How is that possible?" Zhu Bufan shook his head in denial: "Xiaoyu and I are about the same age, hadn't you already moved to Fangzhou City by then?"

"Why are you asking so many detailed questions, are you asking for trouble?!" Du Yujiao bit her silver teeth and scolded: "I said that's the way it is, why are you talking so much. You shouldn't remember events from over a decade ago, because you were still young, you know?"

"Oh," Zhu Bufan nodded and said, "If that's the case, you're my mom, and also Xiaoyu and Xiaohuang's mom, then I am their real brother. Seems I cannot marry her then, what a shame."

"You..." Du Yujiao's heart suddenly tightened; she wanted to play a game of words with Zhu Bufan, but never anticipated she'd trap herself in the process.

But Zhu Bufan eagerly looked at her, insisting on questioning to the end, Du Yujiao had to grit her teeth and say: "You are indeed my own child, when I see you, I feel a sense of kinship, Xiaoyu and Xiaohuang, those two girls were adopted by me from the orphanage, I have no blood relationship with them at all."

Ah, upon hearing this statement, Zhu Bufan was greatly shocked. Du Yujiao's words must be false, but this lie felt heartwarmingly pleasant.

Du Yujiao continued: "After I gave birth to you, because I… did not have the means to support you, I sent you to be raised by Old Lady Sun, and after sending you away, I left the village overnight and came to Fangzhou City."

"Then is my dad Zhan Yucheng?" Zhu Bufan asked eagerly, feeling that he was getting closer and closer to the truth. It was just that the final barrier had not yet been broken.

"No, no," Du Yujiao shook her head repeatedly: "Before I came to Fangzhou City, I had a boyfriend in the village. Later when I got pregnant with his child, he married another woman. I secretly gave birth to you and left you in the care of Old Lady Sun, then headed to Fangzhou City alone. Only later did I marry Zhan Yucheng."
