After they got back in Dou Xiangling’s car, Dou Xiangling drove while Zi Yi took out her phone. She subconsciously checked the security system in the neighborhood and after detecting several system vulnerabilities, she decided to get Shadow to fix the loopholes later.
“Yiyi, we’ve arrived.”
When the car drove to the entrance of the Dou residence, Dou Xiangling told Zi Yi, who was playing with her phone.
The houses in the neighborhood were all accompanied by a courtyard and each house was next to each other, separated by an ornamental wall.
The greenery here was good and there were plenty of large aged trees
The car drove straight into the parking garage of the house.
A large group of people walked out from the house the moment Dou Xiangling’s car drove in and they were all headed in their direction.
Dou Xiangling smiled and said, “It has been many years since you’ve come here. Everyone has all come out to welcome you, don’t be frightened.”
Zi Yi looked over to her uncles, aunts, and cousins and shook her head. “I won’t be frightened.
She unbuckled her seat belt, pushed open the door, and alighted.
“Little Zi, you’re here.”
Her Eldest Aunt was the first to welcome her. “We were still discussing when you would arrive. Your timing is impeccable and we’re going to start dinner soon.”
Zi Yi then greeted them. “Eldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt.”
“Ai~ Our Little Yi is so sensible.”
“That’s right. She’s also polite too.”
“Little Yi, it has been a long time since you’ve come here. You should stay here tonight. Your Fourth Uncle and Aunt have even prepared your room for you.”
All her four Uncles and Aunts treated her warmly.
Zi Yi unconsciously thought back to the original owner. The Dou Family members were all nice people, and all of them were involved in the education field while being reasonable people. The original owner was not influenced by these people and instead, got brainwashed by Zi Xu and Li Peirong. She honestly could not understand why.
Just then, the youngest of the family, Dou Yue’er stepped forward and asked, “Cousin, do you still remember me?”
Zi Yi nodded her head. “Yes, I do.”
She then looked over to the remaining family members. Other than Dou Zerui, there were a few people who she was not yet acquainted with.
Dou Xiangling who stood beside her had noticed her thoughts and smiled as she introduced the rest of the family to her. “This is your Eldest Cousin, Dou Yunhao, Third Cousin, Dou Muyang, and Fifth Cousin, Dou Yurui.”
Dou Zerui ranked second while Dou Xiangling ranked fourth, and Dou Yue’er ranked sixth among the cousins age wise.
Dou Yunhao, a refined and gentle reputable lawyer said, “Yiyi, if other people bully you in the future, I’ll help you make them regret it for their entire lives.”
Dou Muyang, who looked like someone who lazed about at home but was in fact a researcher of machinery weapons, said, “Yiyi, I’ll gift you some good things later. If someone dares to bully you, you can just use those items to greet them.”
Dou Yurui, a researcher in a biological laboratory said, “Third Brother’s good items are all too ostentatious. Yiyi, if someone bullies you, tell me. I’ll help you teach them a lesson.”
Zi Yi smiled and answered all of them at the same time, “Alright.”
After the youngsters greeted each other, Eldest Uncle stood out and said, “Xiangling, bring Little Zi to see your grandfather first. We will start dinner later.”
Even though their grandfather had been discharged from the hospital for half a month, he could only lie on the bed and rest as of now.
When Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling entered Elder Dou’s room, the currently resting Elder Dou suddenly opened his eyes.
“Grandfather.” Zi Yi called out.
Traces of a hidden glint flashed past Elder Dou’s eyes. “Yiyi, come over here.”
He then asked her, “How have you been these days?”
Zi Yi told him about how she had gone abroad to compete in a competition.
Dou Xiangling looked at the both of them and smiled as she retreated from the room.
After Zi Yi finished talking, Elder Dou said approvingly, “Good.”
He then went on to say, “Since you’ve chosen to major in Archaeology, you should study hard. There’s no distinction between a good and bad major. As long as you study well, you will be a talent in any field.”
“I know that,” Zi Yi replied confidently. “I am very interested in the capital and the culture of the past dynasties. However, I’ve also taken many other majors. I will study well and excel in those majors too.”
Elder Dou did not say anything negative and instead, he asked her about her study plans along with her views on these majors.
Zi Yi answered all his questions one by one.
Elder Dou was very pleased with her answers.
Just then, he suddenly asked, “Did Zi Xu come to look for you during this period of time?”
Elder Dou honestly disliked Zi Xu. That man knew nothing but how to sweet talk his daughter. He was not a good husband nor a good father. If not for the fact that Zi Yi insisted on staying together with him, he even had thoughts of taking custody of her.
Thinking of this, Elder Dou had always regretted not doing so.
Fortunately, the child had now thought things through for herself and left that family.
“He hasn’t. He’s away on business.”
The news of Zi Xu leaving for business was something Lu Jingye had told her.
Of course, this was also arranged by Lu Jingye.
What he said was: “He’s your father and as a daughter, since you’re unable to deal with him like how you deal with other people, then let him stay on the other side of the world. This is good for everyone.”
Zi Yi thought about it and felt that it was indeed good for everyone.
Elder Dou also thought that it was good. “It’s good that he’s not in the capital. What about that stepmother of yours? Are you still in contact with her?”
What Elder Dou was worried about the most was this.
Li Peirong was good at sugar coating her words to coax Zi Yi. Moreover, she was also good at alienating Zi Yi from the Dou family.
Zi Yi had noticed her grandfather’s thoughts and said, “I’ve already seen through her evil intentions and I won’t be in contact with her anymore.”
“That’s good.”
The two of them chatted for almost half an hour before her Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt came in to serve and assist Elder Dou with his dinner.
Zi Yi’s Eldest Aunt said to her, “Yiyi, you should go out and have dinner. Everyone is waiting for you.”
“What about you guys?”
“Don’t worry about us. We take turns to eat every day.”
Zi Yi nodded her head and stood up. “Grandfather, I’ll give you a full-body checkup after dinner and prescribe some medicine for you.”
“Okay.”
Elder Dou was not the only one who agreed, even her two Aunts were very supportive.
Her Eldest Aunt said, “Thanks to the medicine Little Zi prescribed, every time the doctor comes for a checkup, he would say that father’s recovery speed is equivalent to that of a strong, adult man.”
Her Second Aunt added, “That’s right. I think that it won’t be long before your grandfather will be able to get out of bed and walk around.”
After hearing what they said, Zi Yi said, “If grandfather’s body has recovered to the condition I expected, he’ll be able to get out of bed and walk around after he finishes the next set of medicine.”
“Really? Then that’s great!”
One set of medicine she prescribed was for half a month’s consumption. If Elder Dou was really able to get out of bed and walk in such a short period of time, then it was great news for the Dou Family.
The two of them then urged Zi Yi to have her dinner.
After dinner, Zi Yi gave Elder Dou a checkup and prescribed him medicine.
After she handed them the prescription, she said, “There are two medicinal ingredients that can’t be found in stores. I’ll buy them and after I receive them, you can start preparing the medicine for grandfather.”
When her uncles heard what she said, they all looked at each other and were silent for a while before Dou Jingtong asked, “Those two types of medicinal ingredients must be very rare, right?”
Zi Yi thought for a moment and did not reveal the fact that she could only purchase them from the underground black market. After all, it was better that the Dou Family were unaware of such a place.
In the end, she said, “Yes, but I have connections..”
