Chapter 928: Trip to Beidu (13)

Xu Xu did not answer. After paying the phone bill, he returned to his room. His cold look was totally different from the gentle look he had just shown when he made the phone call.

I didn’t expect such a young child to have two faces now. The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, put the money into his inner pocket, pulled his outer coat, and squinted his eyes.

After the phone call, Ruan Jiaojiao slept well. Thinking that he could go back tomorrow, Xu Xu also slept well. However, there was someone in the Duan family who couldn’t sleep.

Duan Xin thought about the person he met during the day, and then thought about his father’s recent long trip. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn’t sleep. He simply sat up from the bed, put on his slippers, opened the door and went out.

He lived on the third floor. It was past nine o'clock. Although the lights were on in the whole mansion, it was too quiet. He stood by the railing on the third floor and thought for a while. In the end, he couldn't resist his curiosity and tiptoed downstairs.

Because the eldest master of the Duan family was in poor health, he had always lived on the first floor for convenience. However, no one lived on the first floor in recent years because the eldest master of the Duan family had reached the critical stage and could only stay in the hospital. He had not been back for a long time.

Duan Xin walked from the third floor to the first floor and quietly entered the room of the eldest master of the Duan family.

Although his uncle's room had not been occupied for a long time, it had always been cleaned. Although it was a little less crowded, it was still very clean.

Duan Xin first looked at the tables within his sight, but did not see what he was looking for. He then flipped through a few drawers and finally found an older photo album.

This was an older photo album, with many photos of the four brothers and sisters of the Duan family when they were young, but there were no color photos at that time, so when Duan Xin found the photo of his uncle, he sighed with disappointment.

He closed the photo album and carefully put it in the drawer. When he came out of the room, he happened to meet Duan Qirui who had just returned from outside.

Duan Qirui is the second master of the Duan family. He and Duan Xin's mother Ai Keyin were considered a family marriage. Their relationship was average, but the second master of the Duan family had a serious obsession since he was a child, which had reached a pathological level. Therefore, except for sleeping with Ai Keyin on the wedding day and giving birth to a son, Duan Xin, he has never had another child.

Ai Keyin couldn't stand such a widow's life, so she divorced Duan Qirui a few years ago.

Duan Qirui still cared about Duan Xin. Seeing that he hadn't gone to bed so late at night, he stopped his steps on the way to take a shower and asked, "Don't you have classes tomorrow? Why are you still not sleeping so late?"

"Dad, I heard that you went to Fuzhou City two days ago?" Duan Xin asked instead of answering.

"Well, is there any problem?" Duan Qirui asked, and he had already walked to the second floor. He couldn't stand the dirt all over his body after coming back from outside, and he didn't care why Duan Xin asked this, and he hurried into the bathroom to take a shower.

Duan Xin hadn't finished asking yet, but he knew what kind of temper his father had, so he simply sat down on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, waiting for Duan Qirui to come out of the shower.

It was winter, and Duan Qirui took a full hour to shower before coming out. His fingers were all white from soaking. He came out in his cotton pajamas, and was stopped by Duan Xin downstairs: "Dad, wait a while before you go to sleep, I have some questions to ask you."

Duan Qirui frowned, watching him running over from the second floor, his brows were wrinkled tightly.
