Chapter 213 Shocking Change
Chapter 213 Shocking Change
The snow came late in Haicheng, and people in Haicheng went out in groups of two or three to enjoy the snow and go on dates. For a time, the whole city was filled with a romantic atmosphere.
Duan Hongji was bedridden due to a fall, and the Duan family welcomed a long-lost peace. Even Duan Ye, who was always noisy, became much quieter because of the conflict with his brother.
Zhao Ruoming was in a bad mood, but no matter how bad his mood was, he had to be decent. ——No, no matter how bad his mood was, he had to work.
Zhao Ruoming was sitting in the room, repeatedly comparing the relationship progress bars of several pairs of male and female protagonists, puzzled. She didn't want to believe the fact, and after repeated comparisons, except for the label change of Jiang Huiyi's book, the other two books were still fine?
He was already in a state of panic, and at this moment, a fearless guy came in and started to give him a hard time.
Zhao Ruoming was almost annoyed by Theodore. She didn't understand why Theodore didn't go back to fight for the family property, but was always making trouble in the Duan residence.
After finally seeing Theodore off, Zhao Ruoming sighed and prepared to go back to Haicheng University.
On the other side, Theodore had just walked into his guest room humming a song when he saw an uninvited guest in the room.
Theodore raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "Mr. Duan?"
Duan Chengfang sat upright on the sofa in Theodore's room, his posture straight and his face stern.
Theodore was a little interested in this second son, after all, he was the heir that Duan Hongji had chosen. So he pulled a chair and sat opposite him.
Theodore crossed his legs and tapped his cheek gently: "Mr. Duan, what are you doing here?"
He had already guessed Duan Chengfang's purpose. At this moment, he was just using Qiao as an excuse to test the other party's strength.
Unexpectedly, Duan Chengfang glanced at Theodore and said straight to the point: "I want to make a deal with Mr. Mansfield."
transaction?
This beginning was beyond Theodore's expectations. Theodore asked with great interest, "Oh? What else can I trade with Master Duan today?"
Duan Chengfang nodded slightly, his face calm: "I want to know what my father did yesterday when he went so far away."
It turned out to be this.
Theodore smiled slightly: "Why don't you just ask Mr. Duan?"
"Father doesn't want me to know." Duan Chengfang said bluntly, "If it were before, I wouldn't ask."
Because Duan Hongji didn’t care before.
In this world, nothing can hurt Duan Hongji except losing money. If it were in the past, Duan Chengfang would only think that the other party was going to the suburbs to explore the terrain and do research for buying land.
"But this time, my father was in a bad mood." Duan Chengfang lowered his eyes and pondered, "I can see that he is in a worse mood than ever before. - He even fell down the stairs because he was absent-minded."
Duan Hongji had never lost his composure like this before. This made Duan Chengfang feel sad, but also secretly curious.
He wanted to know more about his father. Duan Hongji's emotional world had always been a mysterious dark door that was never open to anyone. Even Duan Ye, the most favored one, could only touch the door handle.
When he married Jiang Huiyi, Duan Chengfang thought that the door had been opened, but what happened later proved that this idea was completely nonsense.
Duan Chengfang wanted to get closer to Duan Hongji's deep heart. The possibility of "exploring his father's emotional world" even made him faintly excited, and he felt like a pot of charcoal was burning in his chest. The fire was not big, but the heat was scorching.
After hearing Duan Chengfang's words, the curve of Theodore's mouth did not change at all, but a cold light suddenly flashed in his gem-like eyes.
He knew that Duan Hongji was in a bad mood, and he also knew the reason. But was Duan Hongji's injury also caused by that woman?
It's really unpleasant.
Duan Chengfang has always been sensitive to the emotions of people around him. At this moment, he keenly noticed that the annoying young man in front of him seemed to be in a bad mood.
Theodore raised his lip and said, "So, Mr. Duan, what are you going to exchange with me?"
Money? That's ridiculous. Information about Duan Hongji? That would be something Theodore would be more interested in. Unfortunately, this Second Young Master Duan might not be so tactful.
Who would have thought that none of Theodore's guesses about Duan Chengfang were correct.
Duan Chengfang hesitated for a moment and said, "I accidentally found out some news about the Mansfield family."
Theodore paused and said calmly, "Oh? What news? Stock market? Family heir? Power change?"
If it were just these little things, then he would have looked up to Young Master Duan in vain. Theodore also had his own channels to find out about these things.
Duan Cheng opened his lips and whispered, "If this news falls on me, it may be very important. But for Mr. Theodore, it may not be important."
what is that?
Theodore showed some interest: "I thought Mr. Duan and I were the same kind of people. What is it that I am interested in but you are not?"
In a flash, the offense and defense changed. Duan Chengfang did not show any arrogance on his face: "Words are not enough, how about Mr. Theodore paying a deposit first?"
Deposit? What an interesting young man.
Theodore curled his lips and said, "Okay. Let me tell Master Duan a general direction first."
Duan Chengfang pretended to listen attentively, and then he heard Theodore say with a smile: "This matter is related to Master Duan's mother."
Mother?
This answer was beyond Duan Chengfang's expectation. Duan Chengfang was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Mr. Mansfield, it's not that I don't trust you. It's just that my mother has passed away for many years. How could the events of the past two days be related to her?"
Could it be that it was not the deceased biological mother, but Jiang Huiyi? Duan Chengfang denied it in just two seconds: "If it is Ms. Jiang, I'm sorry to say that she doesn't have this weight."
It's not that Duan Chengfang looked down on Jiang Huiyi. Unless Jiang Huiyi was a commercial spy sent by another group and emptied the Duan family's assets and sent Duan Hongji to jail, it would be difficult for Duan Hongji to feel sad for her.
Theodore smiled. If nothing else, comparing people will make you die, and comparing goods will make you throw them away. Duan Hongji, the second son, still has some brains and conscience. The former is compared with Duan Ye, and the latter is compared with Duan Jizhi.
Theodore said leisurely: "No matter what you think, I have already paid the deposit. Now, you should deliver the goods."
Duan Chengfang frowned. It was useless for him to keep the news to himself anyway, so it would be fine to tell Theodore.
Duan Chengfang raised his eyes. Those romantic and passionate peach blossom eyes were surprisingly emotionless at this moment.
"Mr. Theodore, you may not know this yet. Your eldest brother has passed away."
Theodore was shocked.
Duan Chengfang slowly added: "Just this morning."
