"I heard that Old Mr. Du is biased, but from the looks of it, Old Mr. Du treats Mrs. Zhou quite well." Jiang Yao chatted casually with Du Chen who was outside the car window.
"My aunt is his only daughter, and she married into another family. She won't care about his inheritance, so he naturally dotes on her more. My aunt's temper is the result of him doting on her." Du Chen's words sounded like an explanation, but his words were full of sarcasm.
After saying that, he laughed self-deprecatingly, "And in his eyes, my father is the eldest son who is always waiting to inherit the family fortune. As for me, I used to be an exceptionally outstanding grandson, but now I'm a cripple that people can't help but feel pity for. Naturally, his pity for me turned into impatience in the end."
"Then what about Du Shixian?" Jiang Yao asked.
"In his heart, he is a good son who is outstanding, loyal, and filial. He is filial and patient to his father. He is tolerant to my father, his elder brother who is always at odds with him for the sake of family harmony. He treats me, his nephew who can only sit in a wheelchair for the rest of my life, as his own flesh and blood. He treats me like a son."
Jiang Yao was stunned. He was straightforward and told her everything. However, she realized that she couldn't find any words to comfort Du Chen.
Although she didn't like the Du and Zhou families, she didn't have any ill intentions towards Du Chen. At least, based on the fact that he didn't reveal her identity, she could give him a little more patience.
"How far do you think Old Man Du will go for Mrs Zhou?" Jiang Yao decided to guess the situation of the two people's discussion with Du Chen. On the other side, Old Man Du was forcing himself to talk non-stop. His emotions were fluctuating greatly. On the other hand, Lu Xingzhi, who was standing tall, still had that calm expression on his face.
Jiang Yao said that Old Man Du doted on Mrs Zhou not only because Old Man Du couldn't find any connections in the capital, but also because he specially came to the army to look for Lu Xingzhi.
It was because Old Man Du was seriously ill and had to travel all the way in a wheelchair.
Jiang Yao had scanned Old Man Du with the System when she saw him earlier. Old Man Du had cirrhosis of the liver and was in the decompensated stage.
There was also the common disease of the elderly, high blood pressure, which was even more serious than Old Madam Liang's.
With Old Man Du's current health condition, even if his blood pressure could be stabilized, he would only live for a year or so if there was no suitable medication to control his liver cirrhosis.
If Old Man Du was still young, he might be able to wait for a liver transplant. Unfortunately, Old Man Du was already very old and could not withstand the risks and torment of surgery. Moreover, organ transplants were not something that could be done just because one wanted to. It was hard to wait, and some people could not even wait for a few years.
Furthermore, Old Man Du did not have much time left to wait.
Jiang Yao thought that with Old Man Du's current health condition, even getting out of bed and walking would be a very difficult task. However, Old Man Du forced himself to come here because of Mrs Zhou.
While Jiang Yao was thinking about Old Man Du's father-daughter relationship with Mrs Zhou, Du Chen was thinking about Jiang Yao's casual question.
