Chapter 495: Du Chen’s Reason
All Jiang Yao could think of, on the way to the Liangs, was Du Chen’s action. Was he genuinely indifferent, or was he scheming behind her back?
Liang Yuekai gave Jiang Yao the answer she was looking for.
“What Du Chen wants the most now is his grandfather, Old Man Du, to feel guilty. He’d preferred that over being able to stand up again.” Liang Yuekai added after hearing the conversation in the living room. Coincidentally, he knew Du Chen’s full backstory, albeit unwittingly.
“Brother Liang, you know?” Jiang Yao was startled. “I don’t really get it; what do you mean by he wants Old Man Du to feel guilty?”
Liang Yuekai smiled at Jiang Yao. “That’s fair, you don’t know the story about Du Chen’s accident.”
He sat down in the middle of the living room and continued, “Du Chen’s car accident was the talk of Jindo City when it happened way back then. Before the accident, Du Chen could be described with the word exemplary. Everything changed after the accident. With his injury, he fell into a deep slump, only getting back on his feet recently. Back then, weren’t you all betting that Du Shixian was the mastermind behind the accident?”
Jiang Yao understood the words between the lines spoken by Liang Yuekai.
“So, you’re saying that he really is the one behind Du Chen’s accident?” Chen Xuyao shivered. “That’s scary! We were just speculating and didn’t really believe that Du Shixian did it. I can’t believe it! Du Chen is still Du Shixian’s nephew after all!”
“Well, it’s not that surprising actually.” Luo Ruoran shrugged. “Du Shihua and Du Shixian are brothers from different mothers. Du Chen was only younger than Du Shihua by a few years. He was the star of the family, overshadowing everything Du Shihua did. The greater the achievements of Du Chen, the more Du Shihua was portrayed as an incapable man. The more affection Du Chen received from Old Man Du, the less Du Shihua was loved by his father.”
In a family with historically weak kinship and ties, there was always a rift between siblings from different mothers. Moreover, Du Shixian’s mother was a cruel and greedy woman, was there anything else her son would not do?
The accident almost took away Du Chen’s life; being on a wheelchair was a miracle.
Lu Xingzhi’s brain was in overdrive. Listening to Liang Yuekai, he seemed to have come up with an inkling of the situation.
“Du Chen possesses evidence that Du Shixian was the one behind the accident?” That was all he could think of. “That’s why he’s not in a hurry to stand up, no, he’s fine not being able to stand up again. As long as he’s bound to the wheelchair for the rest of his life, Old Man Du’s guilt will never go away, and the misdoings of Du Shixian and Mrs. Du even far worse.”
“Exactly.” Liang Yuekai nodded. “It doesn’t matter if Du Chen knows who the Divine Doctor is. Don’t worry, he will not and dare not expose Jiang Yao. The time for vengeance is coming, he cannot risk revealing the Divine Doctor’s true identity.”
