Chapter 106 Get the certificate~
After getting the answer he wanted, Si Cang, satisfied, stood up and opened the door. His eyes passed Qi You and fell on the figure not far behind him who was peeking around and looking a little embarrassed. It was the talkative young man beside Yin Li.
Si Cang's brows knitted slightly, his voice devoid of emotion: "What letter?"
The young attendant hurried forward, holding a plain letter in both hands, and respectfully explained, "My boss has returned to the mountains to recuperate. Before he left, he repeatedly instructed me to personally deliver the letter to Mr. Duan."
Si Cang narrowed his eyes dangerously. He didn't take it. Instead, he turned around and asked the person inside slowly, in an almost deliberate tone of inquiry: "Do you want to see it?"
Duan Anluo's firm voice immediately rang out from inside the room: "No! I don't have time! I have to go get the marriage certificate after dinner, how can I have time to look at his things!"
Si Cang couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth into an obvious arc. He didn't even bother to say a perfunctory word to the little servant. He just slammed the door shut with a "bang", ruthlessly isolating the letter and all of Yin Li's thoughts.
The young attendant held the letter in his hands and couldn't help but complain inwardly: This person is really good at pretending, and Master Duan just fell for it. He was worried about his boss. With his worrying emotional intelligence and his style of only forcing marriage, how could he win?
Fortunately, Sect Leader Duan is a male. Otherwise, by the time the boss returns from the mountains, the cubs will have already given birth to several litters. How can the boss snatch them away? Even if he were to directly become the godfather of someone else's child, he wouldn't even be able to get a spot!
The morning incident did not disturb Duan Anluo's good mood. Before registering, he first told his family.
He opened his phone and saw three eye-catching red envelopes on the screen. They were birthday wishes from his family.
Duan Anluo tapped his fingertips and took the ones from his father and brother, but skipped the one from his mother Lin Wanqiu.
Not only did he not accept it, he also sent a bigger red envelope back to his mother.
A son's birthday is a mother's hard day. His mother had died of a hemorrhage while giving birth to him in her previous life, and she had also suffered in this life. Duan Anluo always felt that he owed his mother something.
Then, he dialed the phone, his tone light but serious: "Mom, I want to tell you something, I want to go register with Si Cang today. I won't have the wedding yet. I'll wait until my brother gets married, then we'll have it."
On the other end of the phone, Lin Wanqiu was looking at the big red envelope her son had forwarded, moved to tears. Upon hearing this, she responded without a second thought, "Okay, okay, whatever you want. Go ahead! Whatever you want to do, Mom will support you!"
Duan Duohai, who was listening closely, suddenly widened his eyes and complained to his wife in a low voice: "What do you mean by 'let him do everything'? Don't I, as a father, have a say in such a big matter as marriage? What does that kid named Si Cang do at home? We haven't even met his in-laws and don't know anything about their background, yet they registered like this? Are you and your mother..."
Duan Duohai wondered: Is he sick? Did he eat something dirty? Was he under a spell?
But under the intimidation of his wife's eyes, he swallowed his words back.
Lin Wanqiu said seriously, "I believe in my son's vision. The person he chooses is definitely right."
She turned around and said gently to the screen, "Go ahead and tell Si Cang that Mom will be waiting for you to come back."
Duan Anluo smiled, his eyes curved, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Wanqiu proudly said to her husband, "We must trust our son. He can never be wrong about people. Who is my son? He has been able to see the past and the future since he was a child. He can communicate with all things and understand the language of animals. When he was a child, he sat by the fish pond and chatted with the fish. He could even talk to stones!"
He can see the dead, fight ghosts, and subdue demons! Those Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and the Monkey King are all weak in front of my son!
In short, as long as my son is happy, he's suffered enough in the past. As long as he doesn't harm others or commit crimes, I support him in whatever he does!"
Duan Duohai was left speechless by his wife's long string of words tinged with pride and partiality. After a long silence, he sighed helplessly, "Your son is awesome... In some ways, you're even more awesome than your son."
Lin Wanqiu immediately raised her eyebrows and asked dissatisfiedly, "What's wrong? My son is not your son? Could he be someone else's son? Whenever the child doesn't listen to you, you blame your son. If he makes a mistake, he is only my son. What's wrong? Could I have given birth to him without you? I had heavy bleeding when I gave birth to him. Without you, could I have endured this pain?"
Duan Duohai immediately fell silent and dared not say anything more.
Even Duan Anluo didn't know that his gentle mother was so powerful in front of his father.
After a pause, Lin Wanqiu said, "If it doesn't work out, then divorce. You can find another partner after the divorce. You're still young. I think Si Cang is good in every way. As I said, it's not a loss for him to marry into our Duan family and add a member to our family."
Duan Duohai was stunned. "You just acted like you really liked Si Cang."
Lin Wanqiu said as if it was a matter of course: "If my son likes it, I like it too. If my son doesn't like it, I definitely won't like it either. If Si Cang was a girl, I would definitely look for the problem with my son first if something went wrong. The problem is that he is taller and stronger than my son, so it must be his fault if something goes wrong."
Duan Duohai: "..."
He was speechless.
Lin Wanqiu curled her lips and muttered through gritted teeth, "That damn kid, he got such a good deal! My son is so handsome and so capable, and he took him away..."
Duan Duohai held his forehead with his hand. Ever since the family talked about it and knew about those things in past and present lives, his wife seemed to have completely liberated her nature. There was only their son left in her heart and eyes, and she protected him without any principles.
Duan Anluo thought about it and sent a message to Duan Anlang: Brother, I'm going to get the marriage certificate, you should have no objection, right?
Duan Anlang didn't know what he was busy with and didn't reply.
Duan Anluo immediately sent another message: If you don’t reply, I will assume that you agree.
After sending the message, Duan Anluo pulled Duan Anlang into the small dark room.
Now is a new era. He must stand up, he must have the courage to resist, he must listen carefully to what the big brother says, he is not afraid that the big brother will beat him to death.
Besides, the stand-in brother just looks similar and has the same temperament, so there is no need to be so afraid of him.
Besides, they are not face to face, so he is not afraid!
Si Cang made an appointment when Duan Anluo was having dinner. After the meal, the two of them went directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau. They were received by a special person, and the whole process went smoothly beyond imagination.
They filled out the forms, took photos, and skipped all other procedures. In just ten minutes, two bright red notebooks were handed to them.
Duan Anluo held the still-warm marriage certificate in his hand, turning it over and over, his face filled with disbelief. "Is it that simple? It's legal now?"
Si Cang was also surprised. If he had known it was so simple, he would have coaxed Duan Anluo to sign it long ago. Why would he have to wait until now?
"You just want this certificate?" In Duan Anluo's mind, marriage should be ritualistic, with three letters and six engagements, and a marriage certificate. People who practice cultivation should also inform heaven and earth.
Si Cang was nice. He didn't want a betrothal gift, he just wanted a certificate and half of the family property.
Duan Anluo casually put the certificate into his pocket, feeling touched. Where could he find a wife like Si Cang?
Si Cang took Duan Anluo's ID from his pocket. Duan Anluo was puzzled, "Huh?"
Si Cang said seriously, "I'll hold it for you, in case you lose it."
Duan Anluo didn't even think about it, "Okay."
Then he quickly pulled his eldest brother out of the small dark room.
Duan Anlang was extremely busy today and had no time to check personal messages all morning.
His phone was on silent until noon, and when he looked at his phone, he thought he was seeing things.
After reviewing Duan Anluo's message word by word, Duan Anlang was stunned. His brother was gone in just one morning?
He has such a big brother, and he was kidnapped just like that?
Duan Anlang asked angrily, "Why did you register so suddenly? Didn't you tell your family? You decided such a big thing on your own?"
Duan Anluo: "I told you this this morning. I told my parents and you too. You didn't object."
Duan Anluo took a screenshot of the chat history with Duan Antang and sent it to him. "I really didn't receive the message that you disagreed with. Is the signal bad where you are?"
Duan Antang: “…”
Duan Anluo straightened his back, speaking with confidence and finally said, "I, I am grown up now. I have the right to decide who I want to be with."
Duan Anlang was so angry that he laughed, "You have no rights at all!"
Duan Anluo shrank his neck and thought, forget it, I still can't go against the eldest brother. I don't have enough energy and can't beat him.
He simply gave up and said, "Look, what should we do?"
Duan Antang: "What can I do? You've already got the marriage certificate, what can I say? Can I still let you get a divorce?"
Duan Anluo: "No, I don't want anyone else except him."
Duan Antang said with a cold expression, "Have you ever been to his house?"
"Why go to his house? If he marries me, he will go to our house in the future."
Duan Anjian pinched his aching forehead and said, "You should go to his house and see for yourself what the Si family is like. If he can't protect you, then it's a den of wolves that will eat you without leaving any bones behind!"
Duan Anluo said as a matter of course: "Then I must protect him and not let him suffer any loss."
Si Cang was beside him, whispering to him, "I've taken care of everything. There are no wolves."
"I think you are the wolf!" Duan Anlang hung up the phone in anger.
In the past, he always told Duan Anluo to keep himself clean and to be a gentleman, knowing what to do and what not to do.
Duan Anluo didn't want to get married. He was always away from home, only coming back a few times a year, afraid of missing out on a good girl from another family. He refused to get married. As the eldest brother, he was reluctant to force him on this matter.
In the blink of an eye, he was already twenty-three. Other children were already in school, but his younger brother was still out there, having fun without a care in the world, and even his grandfather's words were useless.
The result? Now she is completely bewitched by this man and got the marriage certificate without saying anything!
There were men who followed him around before, some were heroic, some were handsome, some were gentle, and all kinds of men were there. But his brother never even glanced at them. Instead, he treated them like gentlemen, and their friendship was as light as water.
He is nice to everyone, but keeps his distance from everyone. He always has a faint smile on his face, keeps people at a distance, and runs away if he disagrees with someone. It is difficult to find him.
Now, he must be with Si Cang. What kind of magic potion did Si Cang give him?
It was too late to say anything now. Duan Anjian just felt a tightness in his chest and needed to calm down.
At this time, the special assistant knocked on the door and came in, placing several documents respectfully on the desk. "Mr. Duan, the companies with good prospects that you asked me to investigate earlier are actually controlled by the main branch of the Si family. These companies, although not directly controlled by the main branch, are also important branches of the Si family. And these are companies that are deeply related to the branches of the Si family."
Duan Antang glanced over the documents, his brow furrowing ever deeper. "So, over the past six months, all of our promising core partners, whose interests are deeply intertwined with ours and almost impossible to sever... have all been Si family businesses?"
The special assistant answered affirmatively: "Yes, Mr. Duan."
Duan Anjian was silent for a long time, then suddenly sneered. He was so angry that he laughed, "Okay, Si Cang really cares about this."
The special assistant handed over another thick folder. "This is the equity transfer agreement that Mr. Si sent over this morning. They said it's ready and just waiting for the Second Young Master's signature. Could you please see if there's anything else that needs to be changed?"
Duan Anlang opened the agreement and glanced over the shocking terms and transfer shares. His anger suddenly dissipated.
He leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath. His tone was complex, yet it carried a hint of barely perceptible recognition: "Si Cang is really willing to spend so much money."
He didn't realize that his brother was worth so much money.
"Never mind, sincerity for sincerity, that's all." He put the contract down and told his assistant, "Bring me the share transfer contract I prepared in advance."
One should be grateful for the help he has given one. As the eldest brother, you cannot let your incompetent younger brother always take advantage of others and be looked down upon.
The author has something to say:
I've been thinking about what to write next. This one is almost finished, but I haven't decided yet. I'm tired of writing this one, so I wanted to write an outline for the next one to change my mind. I ended up writing the beginnings of three books, and I don't know which one to continue. I'm so confused [laughing and crying]
