Duan Shaoxu pursed his lips and said nothing.

Duan Huiyan said: "I thought... I thought everything between her and me was a natural progression, but now I know that it was all planned by you all."

Duan Shaoxu pursed his lips tightly and still said nothing.

"Did you design it so early, or even earlier?"

"Dad, what has she done to you that is worthy of you and grandpa plotting against her?"

Duan Shaoxu sat on the sofa, his fingers tapping on the sofa frame by frame like a silent language.

"Xuexi, who has seen through the fickleness of the world, actually likes her. What we didn't expect was that you actually really like her."

"The Duan family actually produced a sentimental person."

"what should I do?"

"A chess piece is just wasted like this."

"You really don't look like me at all. Fortunately, your grandfather was wrong. You are even less like him."

"He has been ambitious since he was young, calculating everything. Nothing in the world can surpass him. All he cares about is power and status."

"He originally wanted to give you away, but he kept you in the end."

"I kept you so that she would fall in love with you and then her heart would be completely tied to you."

"Your grandfather's original plan was to let her marry into the Duan family and get her pregnant. Then everything in the Qu family would belong to the Duan family."

The only word in Duan Huiyan's mind was "pregnancy", and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Duan Shaoxu seemed to be unaware of his nervousness and continued to speak slowly:

"She is now the confirmed ninth grandmother of the Tan family and the thirteenth-generation head of the Qu family. She is gradually gaining strength. Your grandfather has no way to deal with her, so of course he is angry."

He smiled somewhat bitterly. He originally thought that his plan with Tan Xuxi was set in stone, and everything between him and her was natural.

But now...

She once said to him with a smile: "If I marry someone else, will you kill him?"

He remembered that his face was expressionless.

His heart was beating fast. He wanted to say that he would not kill him. He would kill himself and then kill her...

He thought that he might be crazy at the time. He had seen madmen killing people and hungry wolves eating, but he had never seen his own heart digging its own grave.

But now he couldn't marry her, and the baby in her belly couldn't be his.

He closed his eyes, his mind a mess.

He didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He didn't dare to cry because he couldn't cry. He just felt as if his heart was stabbed by something. He trembled in pain. He just wanted to escape. He wanted to run away...

He glanced at Duan Shaoxu and said, "Grandpa's plan is..."

"Do you think your grandfather would let us know everything?"

Duan Huiyan lowered his eyes and said nothing.

When he raised his head again, there was only fatigue and numbness on his face.

"You make her fall in love with me, and after she falls in love with me, you let me marry her, and then let her get pregnant with my child, and then..."

"Then let her die." Duan Shaoxu said.

"Let her die on the operating table, in front of everyone, in front of everyone."

"In this way, everything she has will belong to the Duan family."

For the first time, Duan Huiyan felt disgusted with the surname Duan.

"Dad, who is my mom?"

Duan Shaoxu was stunned for a moment, and he said: "Who she is has nothing to do with you."

Duan Huiyan sneered, "She is my mother? How can she have nothing to do with me?"

"Duan Shaoxu, answer me, who is my mother?" Duan Huiyan stared at him.

Duan Shaoxu pursed his lips and said nothing.

Duan Huiyan said: "Answer me, who is it?"

"I have already answered you." Duan Shaoxu said.

"Have you answered me?" Duan Huiyan smiled, his face glowing with light.

He stared at Duan Shaoxu, never daring to look him in the eye.

"I am no longer a young man who is ignorant of the world. You have always been in harmony but not in harmony. How could I be here?

Suddenly one day, her face looked very bad, like a paper figure. I didn't dare to make a sound and hid in the corner to watch. I saw her leaning in your arms. She called you A Yun and asked you to wait for her to come back. She said that when she came back, you could always be with her. But she committed suicide by cutting her wrists that night.

Ah Yun, is this your name? I saw it all. There is a photo in your pocket watch. "

Duan Shaoxu stood up and walked to the window. He looked down and saw the endless stream of cars. He looked like he had never seen it before. After a long while, he turned around and said:

"When we were young, I, Qu Jiuchi, Tan Xu, and Jing Baiyu were known as the Four Young Masters of Yanjing."

"We used to fight together, we used to drink together, we used to race cars together, we..."

Recalling the past years, a faint smile appeared on Duan Shaoxu's face.

"We had had enough of the rich kids' games and wanted to go to West Street. That's when I met Zhuang Keai, who worked as a waitress at the bar. She was your mother."

"What a pity..." Duan Shaoxu's tone suddenly became heavy.

"We are all in our prime, and we cannot resist fate."

Then, Duan Shaoxu mentioned Tan Xu, the man who had an enviable love.

"The three of us envy Tan Zhuo. He has a childhood sweetheart, the kind that he can live with bright and clear."

"Everyone thought they would get married, have children, and live a life of love and happiness."

"But none of us could have imagined that Tan Xu's lover would die. It took only three months from diagnosis to death from a malignant brain tumor."

"Tan Xu couldn't accept the death of his lover. He was depressed for three years. Three years later... he traveled half of the world, never showed up in public, and spent his whole life guarding a tombstone."

"She died when their love was at its strongest, and it took him decades to accept the fact that his lover had died."

Time flies, and people come and go in a hurry. It seems that in the blink of an eye, they have grown old.

After decades of hard work and experience, he finally realized:

“It took us decades to understand that some love is hidden in daily life, and the joy that can be seen at a glance will eventually become superficial.

We all want the kind of long-lasting love that Tan Xu has, but we can't give it to you.

Then the foursome returned to normal one by one.

Jing Baiyu agreed to the family marriage, and now they are indeed the most respectful couple.

Maybe... for us, that was the best outcome, but I was too ignorant.

Qu Jiuchi was the one who resisted most fiercely. He was forced to marry Li Quyao, the daughter of the Li family in Mocheng, at the age of 27 under pressure. "

Your mother is older than me and an orphan, so your grandfather doesn’t agree.”
