Du Ming kept his word and used all his power to thoroughly investigate the secrets behind XX Investment. As expected, this company was indeed a puppet of a mysterious organization that manipulated the market through various means to reap huge profits, even involving some illegal activities. I will never forget that period when Du Ming acted with thunderous resolve; he was like a sword drawn from its sheath, unstoppable, ultimately uprooting the mysterious organization and bringing them to justice.
I will always remember that day when Du Ming returned home, weary yet resolute, and said to me, "Lingxi, it’s all over." My anxious heart finally settled down, and in that moment, all I wanted was to hold him tightly and give him all my warmth and support.
The downfall of the mysterious organization also meant that the dark cloud hanging over the Du Family had finally dissipated. Everyone in the Du Family began to see me in a new light; they no longer regarded me as an outsider but sincerely accepted me, calling me "Young Mistress." Mr. Du even took my hand, tears streaming down his face, saying, "Lingxi, thank you. Thank you for saving the Du Family and for saving Ming'er."
I understood that I had truly become a part of the Du Family. After marriage, I began to care for each member of the Du Family in my own way. I discovered that Mr. Du had developed several health issues due to overwork in his youth, so I started giving him acupuncture and massage to help improve his condition. Initially, Mr. Du was somewhat resistant, thinking that as a young woman, I couldn't possibly understand medicine. However, after my persistent treatment, his health noticeably improved, and he became much more spirited, which completely changed his opinion of me.
"Lingxi, your medical skills are truly remarkable; they are far better than those of old traditional doctors!" Mr. Du couldn't help but praise me. "Ming'er is so lucky to have you as his wife!" I smiled and replied, "Dad, you flatter me; I'm just doing what I can." Seeing Mr. Du's health improve day by day filled my heart with joy and strengthened my determination to take good care of everyone in the Du Family.
Du Ming also began taking me to various social events. Previously, he always went alone and gave off an air of being unapproachable. But now that I was by his side, people began to see his gentle and caring side. We attended charity galas together and participated in business summits; each appearance felt like an announcement to the world: we were happy.
"Master Du's grandmother is truly elegant; they are a perfect match!"
"Yes! Those rumors were completely unfounded; Master Du clearly dotes on Master Du's grandmother!"
Hearing the discussions around us made me sneak a glance at Du Ming, who had a barely noticeable smile at the corner of his mouth; my heart felt as sweet as honey.
I started getting involved in the management of the Du Group. Although Du Ming didn't say it outright, I could tell he hoped I could help share some of his pressure. Having grown up around business operations, I wasn't unfamiliar with them. Coupled with my keen observation skills and thorough analysis of problems, I quickly carved out my own space within the company.
Several reform proposals I put forward received recognition and support from senior management, bringing new vitality to the company. I began to understand that marriage is not just a harbor of love but also a battlefield where two people strive together. Both Du Ming and I were working hard to become better versions of ourselves for our shared future.
Bai Wei is my close friend whom I've known since childhood; she is quirky and always brings joy into my life. After marrying into the Du Family, I invited her to stay with us for a while to ease my initial discomfort in high society. Bai Wei was initially a bit reserved but soon became enchanted by the warm atmosphere of the Du Family and got along well with the household staff.
"Lingxi, look at you! Ever since marrying into high society, your complexion has improved quite a bit!" Bai Wei teased while savoring exquisite pastries.
I shook my head helplessly; this girl never changes. "You just love teasing me."
"I'm not teasing you; I'm speaking the truth! Look at Uncle Du; he treats you so well—like you're his own daughter."
Indeed, ever since I cured Mr. Du's long-standing headache with my family's acupuncture technique, he praised me often and would chat with me casually instead of being so stern as before.
"Lingxi," Mr. Du said earnestly, "I see everything you've done for the Du Family; you're a good child. Ming'er is fortunate to have married you."
I quickly replied, "Dad, you're too kind; this is what I should do."
To spread warmth to more people, I decided to host a charity gala for the Du Family, inviting prominent figures and wealthy merchants from the city to lend a helping hand to those in need. When I shared this idea with Du Ming, he naturally supported me wholeheartedly.
The preparations for the gala were proceeding smoothly; I personally selected venues and designed decorations in hopes of making it grand yet warm-hearted.
On the day of the gala, guests filled the venue amidst laughter and chatter; as glasses clinked together, I imagined seeing smiles on the faces of those we were helping—my heart brimmed with joy. However, just as I was immersed in this happiness, an unexpected figure appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall...
