Chapter 1704 - Text messaging
Duan Deming also looked at Duan Shumin seriously, "Min Min Min, I know it"s hard for you to accept this, but the truth is that Shu Xian knew Young Master Xi even earlier. Furthermore, she knew of his ident.i.ty, and it wasn"t because you told her about it, but because I hinted to her before.
Her, in the end, she discovered for herself, these were all things that happened before your blind date. "
"You are a family, so of course you can say whatever you want. What else do I have to say?" Duan Shumin suddenly ignored his status as a junior and snorted.
Duan Deliang immediately stopped her, "Min Min, how can you speak to your uncle like that?"
"What"s wrong? Min Min Min wasn"t wrong! At that time, Shu Xian was in school, so of course she had a better chance of getting close to him than Min Min.
Old Man Duan could not help but smack the table, it was so noisy that it hurt his head. With that smack, everyone quieted down.
"Is this the appearance of a family? Can"t you sit down and talk about something? Besides, who is Young Master Xi? Is it up to you to guess his thoughts here? "Sit down." Old Man Duan asked majestically.
Duan Shumin forced Duan Shumin to sit down, but when she looked at the family of three, it was as if she had a huge grudge against them. In Song Meilan"s heart, Duan Shu Xian"s future was the future that she had once imagined for her daughter.
What a thing it was to make her jealous.
Her jealousy in this matter was no less than that of her daughter.
"Shu Xian, tell me, how did you get to know Young Master Xi?" Old Man Duan was also rather curious.
"When I met him, it was the day he started teaching at school. It was the middle of March last year." Duan Shu Xian replied truthfully to her grandfather.
"Then I remember that Meilan brought MinMin to the Pavilion Lord Manor as a guest. It"s almost the end of April, right?" The Old Man Duan said.
"Knowing first doesn"t mean anything. The important thing is that at that time, no one knew the ident.i.ty of the Young Master Xi!" Song Meilan said in a sour tone. No, I know, it"s because I know that Young Master Xi and Shu Xian are very close, I went to ask the Princ.i.p.al. The ident.i.ty of the Young Master Xi is very mysterious, I don"t want Shu Xian to get close to people I don"t know, the Princ.i.p.al told me, he is from the royal family.
I thought he was your lords.h.i.+p"s son. " Duan Deming said calmly.
"Great!" "Since brother-in-law already knew that, then shouldn"t we hurry up and push Shu Xian onto him?" Song Meilan said with a sharp tone.
"Meilan, don"t talk so much. Deming isn"t that kind of person." Duan Deliang understood his brother better. Everything he said must be something that he experienced.
Duan Deming shook his head, "I did not let Shu Xian near him, but instead warned her to stay away from him. At that time, Shu Xian was very reluctant, but under my orders, she still tried to keep her distance from Young Master Xi."
"How could she possibly keep her distance from him?" Duan Shumin sneered, and was sure that Duan Shu Xian wanted to climb onto Xi Jingchen"s pole.
On the other hand, Duan Shu Xian calmed down a lot. She did not refute, because she and Xi Jingchen did not want to partic.i.p.ate in this kind of dispute due to their beautiful memories. There was no need to explain so much to others.
"Then why was Minmin so intimate with him after their blind date? Shouldn"t they avoid suspicion? Wasn"t it because I was afraid that he would like my Min Min Min? " Song Meilan also believed that Duan Shu Xian was deliberately trying to steal Xi Jingchen away.
Duan Shu Xian suddenly retorted to Song Meilan, "Why should I avoid suspicion? I knew him first, and he never admitted it. He wanted to date her cousin, and even he thought it was a normal meal, not a blind date. "
"Duan Shu Xian, you …" Duan Shumin could no longer hold back, because at that time, Song Meilan had boasted that she and Xi Jingchen had a good relations.h.i.+p that day, but now, Duan Shu Xian had exposed this point.
"He told me himself. I didn"t say I was panicking, so there"s no need for me to lie to you." Duan Shu Xian looked up at her fearlessly.
"Alright, Min Min, sit down. Feelings are all about fate." Duan Deliang ordered his daughter.
"Why would the Young Master Xi fall for her and not me? Isn"t it because she has a chance and I don"t have a chance to contact him? " Duan Shumin immediately mocked out, as if there was a reason behind her failure and not just the fact that she himself was not outstanding.
Min Min Min, you are very outstanding, this is something that we all agree with. However, being emotional is fate, how can you be the only outstanding person by Young Master Xi"s side? Li Yu said.
"Humph!" Duan Shumin sneered, as she did not agree with this point.
"Dad, Mom, let"s go first!" Duan Shu Xian didn"t want her parents to suffer grievances here with her.
Duan Deming and Li Yu looked at each other, and then stood up. The two of them greeted the Old Man Duan, and looking at Song Meilan"s expression, they said in the end, "Big brother, sister-in-law, we will leave first!"
With that, Li Yu took Duan Shu Xian"s hand and left.
Once they left, the tears that Duan Shumin had been holding back finally burst out on Song Meilan"s shoulders. Song Meilan immediately hugged his daughter, patting her back in pain. "Min Min, don"t cry, this isn"t your fault."
The Old Man Duan beside him was also lost in his thoughts. The one he was looking forward to becoming the future was not his granddaughter, but the one that had always been too ordinary, his second granddaughter.
"Min Min, this kind of thing can"t be forced. Shu Xian is also very good, we can"t deny that she"s also a child worth liking." Duan Deliang explained to his daughter.
However, Song Meilan said with a calm face, "I don"t think so."
Old Man Duan looked at his daughter-in-law and tried to persuade her. "Meilan, don"t be angry, Minmin tried too, but none of us thought that Shu Xian and Young Master Xi were fated to meet."
Duan Shumin sat up, she stood up and left the table, then silently walked up to the second floor.
Song Meilan immediately gave chase. She knew better than anyone how much her daughter liked Xi Jingchen.
At this moment, she must be feeling extremely uncomfortable in her heart. She had to properly advise him.
Inside Duan Deming"s carriage, the atmosphere was also a bit silent. Li Yu turned her head to look at her daughter who was sitting in the back seat and sighed, "Shu Xian, don"t take it to heart."
"I won"t!" Duan Shu Xian shook her head, Duan Shumin just loved him too much by himself.
After returning home, Duan Deming and Li Yu chatted in his room, while Duan Shu Xian returned to her room. After taking a bath, she sat on her bed and held her phone, considering whether she should send him a message.
His message was sent first. It was as if the two of them had the same thought and wanted to send a message to each other. This feeling felt really warm.
"Back home?" Xi Jingchen asked.
"Hm!" "I"m back. I just arrived." Duan Shu Xian replied.
"Are you tired tonight?"
"Not tired!" "He"s still full of spirit." Duan Shu sent a smiley face with the back of his head. She actually wanted to tell him that she went to the Duan Residence and told her grandfather about this matter.
But she held back. She thought, I"ll solve this problem for myself! Don"t let him know.
"I"m on a business trip tomorrow, so it might be a few days before I can return home."
"Is it going to be a long time?"
"About a week."
"Then pay attention to your safety." Duan Shu Xian quickly sent a message to him. She was really worried about this in her heart.
"Don"t worry!" In terms of security, there"s no problem. "
The two of them didn"t call each other. They chatted using information, but it was also a different atmosphere.
It retained some mysteriousness and antic.i.p.ation. Compared to a direct call, it gave off an indescribably sweet feeling.
Duan Shumin was lying on the bed, her eyes were red, her heart was in pain and she was having trouble breathing, she was jealous, unreconciled, and angry.
Just like Duan Shu Xian"s current love affair, in an instant she erased all of her past efforts at the Duan Residence. Why is it that even if she works so hard, she still can"t marry Xi Jingchen?
And she did nothing but get his favor?
Behind her, Song Meilan found the key to open the door and entered. Since Duan Shumin had locked the door, no matter how hard she tried to knock, she just worried.
She pushed the door open and entered. Looking at her daughter lying on the bed, she came over and said with a heartache, "Min Min, are you still angry?"
"More than angry? "I can"t stand it. I"m better than her in everything. She can get his favor if I rent anything, but I can"t?" Duan Shumin couldn"t understand this point.
Even though Song Meilan had lived to this age, she still had very high expectations for her daughter.
"It"s just been discussed, who knows if it will work? Maybe Young Master Xi was just interested in him for a while! "
