The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 629 The Down-and-Out Second Generation is the Ex (15)
Xi Ke could already imagine how his sister exaggerated things in front of the old lady just by listening to the old lady’s description.
He had already investigated everything last night, and he asked again this morning just to hear the old lady admit it herself.
In all the things, his sister Xi Yun was 99% wrong, and the 1% wrong of Duan Sijun was because he did not give her face when they broke up.
Duan Sijun is still in the police station. Since it was his sister’s fault, he, as a brother, should naturally solve it.
But in all these things, the most pitiful one is the girl Wen Shiyi. She did nothing wrong, but she suffered a lot.
"Son, can you feel sorry for your sister? Look at her, she is already in her twenties and has not married yet. You, as a brother, don't worry about her." The old lady's tone returned to normal, like a mother worried about her daughter, "I have spoiled her and I don't know how she can find the right person to entrust her life to."
"It's good for mother to know that her sister has been spoiled by you." Xi Ke didn't have the heart to blame the old man, and helped her sit up, "I will deal with the affairs of the Duan family, but I, as a brother, can't guarantee whether Xi Yun can get married. Dating and marriage are not the same as before, and everything depends on the fate between people."
"You are so capable and promising at a young age. Why can't you find a suitable person for your sister? It's obvious that you don't want to worry about your sister." The old lady turned her back to the other side. Obviously, she was angry with her son.
Social development is changing with each passing day, and people's concepts are constantly changing. If everything was as simple as the old lady thought, modern young people would not be so tired.
Although he thought about it, he didn't say a word. Because the old lady's old ideas are deeply rooted, even if he said it, people might not listen.

"Girl, you come to see me again." When Father Duan saw Shi Yi, he felt closer than seeing his own daughter.
Shi Yi put the mulberries she bought downstairs in the hospital next to the cabinet and said softly, "Uncle, the doctor said you can be discharged from the hospital. I will do the discharge procedures for you."
"No. I'm used to living here." Father Duan shook his head and refused. He went home to face a cold house. It would be better to stay in this hospital. People coming and going made him feel warm.
"Then you will stay for a few more days? I'll wash the mulberries for you." Shi Yi was a little annoyed. Why didn't she consider that the old man was afraid of loneliness before.
"Yeah. Just come and visit me more often in the future. Oh, why are you washing mulberries now? I don't eat them. Come and sit down, we're talking." Father Duan didn't take the fact that he was discharged from the hospital to heart. He patted the railing of the bed and began to inquire, "Little girl, you've come to see me so many times, but I haven't asked you if you have a boyfriend."
"Yes." Shi Yi sat straight in front of him, her smile as sweet and sticky as the cotton candy sold on the stall.
"I think your boyfriend is definitely not good enough." Father Duan looked very disapproving, which made the nurse laugh. "Uncle, stop kidding here. He already has a boyfriend, so don't promote your son."
"Oh, don't make trouble." Father Duan glanced at the young nurse, then set his eyes on Shi Yi's face, and praised his son, "Listen to me, girl, my son is so outstanding and handsome. He is 1.8 meters tall, looks so gentle and fair, and most importantly, he is very motivated. You don't know, he often goes on business trips. Although his company has just started, he is a hard-working person. I believe it will become one of the top 500 companies in the country in no time. Girls, after all, have to get married. What kind of person should they marry? Naturally, they should marry a responsible man who can make money. My son is great, really. Very, very great." Shi
Yi listened quietly, nodding in agreement from time to time, and the old man spoke more excitedly.
"Before, I didn't think highly of any girl around my son. Why? At that time, I was in this position," he gestured with his finger to a "chair", "it's so high. At that time, I thought that my son must find a girl who is of equal status. So, I never cared about him and let him go wild. Anyway, there are many girls of equal status, and you can find the right one anytime you want." "
Alas, who could have thought that life would have so many twists and turns. I would have retired normally in a few years, but I encountered such a thing." The old man sighed, and his eyes became lonely. "My wife divorced me, and my property was lost. My son locked himself in the room without eating or drinking for three days and three nights. I couldn't bear it and fell ill. When I saw my son in the hospital again, he seemed like a different person. He became calm overnight. Later, he withstood all the pressure, and now he can be the head of the family."
"Alas, I won't say anymore. I won't say anymore." The old man became depressed when he thought back to the time when the accident just happened.
"Uncle, you must be thirsty. I'll go wash some mulberries for you." Shi Yi walked out with a bag of mulberries. Duan's
mother, who came in high heels, just saw her coming out, took off her sunglasses and looked at her.
The last time she came, she was still wondering who the little girl who often came to visit the old man mentioned by the nurse was. Today, after seeing the real person, she felt that this child was very thoughtful.
"Why are you here?" Duan's father didn't like his ex-wife very much.
After he and her separated, he became worse and worse, while she became younger and younger.
"I'm here to give you an invitation." Duan's mother took out a red envelope from her bag and slapped it on his bed.
"Invitation? What are you going to do?" Duan's father took it hesitantly, with a bad feeling in his heart.
"Are you afraid that I will remarry?" Seeing that he didn't dare to accept it, Duan's mother snatched the red envelope from his hand and opened it herself.
"Are you really going to remarry?" The expression on Duan's father's face froze.
"I've been tired of serving an old man for most of my life. I'm getting remarried and going to serve an old man again?" Duan's mother rolled her eyes at him and slapped the red invitation card on his face. "My club is about to open. If you are free, come and support me."
"Si Lan Beauty and Health Club." Duan's father read out the big words one by one.
"'Si' is a character in my son's name, and 'Lan' is a symbol of nobleness. When it makes a profit, I will give half of the shares to my son." Duan's mother touched her carefully maintained nails, looked at the girl walking by the glass window holding mulberries, and said with some envy, "The future daughter-in-law is quite close to you."
"Future daughter-in-law?" Duan's father frowned even deeper.
