Just as he was about to ask sothing, he saw Duan Qianyang coming down from upstairs, and Duan Xin imdiately stood up.
Seeing the old master of the Duan Family, Duan Qianyang just nodded and headed out.
The old master of the Duan Family imdiately called him: "I heard you’re taking Xiaoxin to see him?"
Duan Qianyang nodded slightly.
"Take along." After a few seconds of silence, the old master of the Duan Family said.
Duan Qianyang ruthlessly refused: "He won’t want to see you."
"What do you an by that!" The old master of the Duan Family was so angered by his words that he had a heart attack, and shouted angrily: "Does he even have a choice?"
"Of course he does." Duan Qianyang turned his head, with a serious expression: "As long as he doesn’t want to, I won’t force him."
"What do you an by that!" The old master of the Duan Family glared, his chest heaving violently, and he grabbed a small decorative bottle from the table beside him and threw it out.
However, the floor was carpeted, so the bottle fell without shattering. It rolled over a few tis, bumped into the corner of the coffee table, and then rolled back under his wheelchair, spilling only a little of the water inside, but not breaking at all, as if mocking him for continually making futile efforts.
Duan Qianyang frowned. Considering the old man’s health, he didn’t provoke him further, but instead turned to Duan Xin and said, "Let’s go."
Duan Xin, who was hiding in the corner like an invisible man, imdiately nodded and couldn’t wait to follow him out.
Leaving the old master of the Duan Family inside, so angry he was almost having a myocardial infarction, yet utterly helpless.
After getting in the car with Duan Qianyang, Duan Xin looked at Duan Qianyang sitting silently on one side staring out the window, and curiously asked, "Uncle, why don’t you bring our cousin back?"
The resources of the Duan Family are sothing outsiders can only dream of. Like him, with poor grades and often being disliked by the old master of the Duan Family, yet even so, he won’t have to worry about employnt issues after graduation; the Duan Family would arrange everything. He was fully aware of what he had.
He felt that this uncle of his should care a lot about their cousin, but he didn’t understand why for so many years, he let him stay outside and never brought him back.
Duan Qianyang didn’t answer directly, but instead asked him, "Xiaoxin, are you happy in the Duan Family?"
Happy?
Duan Xin paused for a mont.
He had never thought about this question before.
He had been in the Duan Family since he could rember, never thinking about whether he was happy or not, but he knew his family was sowhat dysfunctional. His father’s cleanliness obsession had beco so serious in recent years that he wouldn’t even leave the house.
And the old master of the Duan Family, always so strict, nothing mattered more to him than his valued reputation in his eyes.
As for Duan Qianyang in front of him, in the past, when he was sick, it was rare to see him even once in several years... In such a Duan Family, was he happy?
Duan Xin hadn’t co up with an answer by the ti they reached their destination.
anwhile, on the other side, the car picking up Xiu Xi was very punctual, arriving at the Shu Family two hours later. Xiu Xi got into the car holding Ruan Jiaojiao.
Duan Qianyang had a high status but didn’t like putting on airs, so he didn’t take them to a luxurious hotel, but instead to a tasteful small restaurant, a standalone private restaurant.
Under the guidance of the waitress, Xiu Xi carried Ruan Jiaojiao inside, and they didn’t see any other guests along the way. There were no dining tables, only the private room where they finally stopped.
