Chapter 67 - Duan Changgong
Chapter 67 - Duan Changgong
The day before the school meeting was Sunday, and the Ji family held a family dinner.
During this week, Ji Xingzhe adopted the "three no policy" of "no reply, no attention, no talk" towards Duan Yunhong, which seemed like an attempt to cover up his mistakes. Fortunately, Duan Yunhong didn't continue to send him messages or talk to him, and even Ning Fei and Lin Shengjia didn't even pay him any attention. Ji Xingzhe was worried for a few days, but when he found that there seemed to be no movement, his heart slowly calmed down.
However, when he heard about the weekend dinner, Ji Xingzhe's heart suddenly became anxious again.
In particular, when Duan Yunhong arrived at Ji's house, he went to the study to talk with Ji Zhenwei for a long time, and later called Ji Yuechi in as well. Although this is not uncommon, this time it was really hard for Ji Xingzhe to ignore. He didn't dare show too much concern, but he couldn't help but pay attention. Conflicted and conflicted, he could only sit in his room, restless, for a long time.
It was not until dinner time that Ji Xingzhe finally had to face Duan Yunhong himself.
He still didn't dare to look this "uncle" in the eye and found a place as far away as possible to hide. But Madam Ji called him back to her side again. Ji Xingzhe didn't dare to resist now and could only sit down opposite Duan Yunhong in shame.
Whenever Duan Yunhong looked at him intentionally or unintentionally, he would tense up as if he was electrocuted, and then force himself to relax. After Duan Yunhong discovered this, he sent a message to Ning Fei briefly describing the situation.
Ning Fei quickly replied: [It sounds interesting, I really want to see it with my own eyes. 】
Duan Yunhong: [Finding an excuse to ask you to come? 】
Ning Fei: [Forget it, I’m not going to the family dinner. 】
Duan Yunhong felt that there was something else behind his words, but he didn't want to ask directly. If asked, Ning Fei would definitely say "I just said it casually, you don't take it seriously", so Duan Yunhong would not make himself look bad.
He was playing with his phone, and Ji Xingzhe became sensitive again: What message was he sending? It wasn't sent to me, was it? I didn't take my phone down!
"Xiaozhe, what's wrong with you? You've been so restless during dinner tonight." Madam Ji noticed that Ji Xingzhe was on pins and needles and asked, "If you have any problems, just tell me. There are so many people at home, can't they help you solve them? Don't be so restless during dinner."
"…Nothing, Mom." Ji Xingzhe made up an excuse, "I just remembered that I had an appointment with Tingting and the others to play games, so I wanted to eat quickly."
"Oh, look at you, you only think about playing. No wonder your father and uncle took your brother to discuss something this afternoon, and you couldn't even go to the class." Madam Ji said in a reproachful tone, but she was not really blaming her youngest son. "Besides, playing games is not as important as eating. Eat well first."
"Speaking of Zhu Yueting, I remembered, Xiaozhe, you should not be led astray by that noisy kid in the future." Ji Zhenwei suddenly said, "Her family even called me and asked me why I let my brother find a person with bad morals as an assistant. It will affect the reputation of the Ji family if he is taken out in the future. I asked Ah Hong, and the school has already investigated the matter. There is no trace of cheating. Why is Zhu Yueting still struggling with this issue? And what does my Ji family's affairs have to do with a little girl like her? She even instigated her father to call me and the school. It was all because of her family who spoiled her."
"Have you completed the investigation?" Ji Xingzhe was not surprised, but facing Duan Yunhong's teasing look, he could not help but weakly retort, "We don't know the result yet. Tingting may think that the school has ignored it. It's understandable that she is a little anxious..."
"Didn't you take the re-examination with Lin Shengjia? Didn't you tell her?" Duan Yunhong said, "Otherwise, how could she think that the school didn't investigate."
Ji Xingzhe frowned slightly: "I did take the exam, but I still don't know the result after such a long time. I thought..."
"Okay, there's no need to worry so much about such a small matter." Ji Zhenwei interrupted him, "By the way, Xiaozhe doesn't want to study abroad anymore, right?"
Ji Xingzhe quickly "expressed his loyalty": "Right. Dad, I think the domestic environment is more suitable for me. I will finish my undergraduate studies in China first."
Ji Zhenwei nodded: "Okay. Now it's like this, your uncle is going to Shenzhen to develop, and your brother is also going to do an internship in his senior year, so they are going together..."
Ji Xingzhe had just heard the first half and was about to be happy about Duan Yunhong's departure, when he heard Ji Zhenwei say, "You should also go to Shenzhen during the winter vacation."
--What? You want me to leave South City for a long time at this time? Absolutely not!
And it’s with my uncle, it’s definitely going to be a disaster!
Ji Xingzhe said quickly: "Dad, I'm already a sophomore in high school, and studying is more important. Besides, I don't know anything in Shenzhen, and I can't help..."
"You don't need to help. Just listen and watch. Do your homework and read your books as usual. Our children should be exposed to these things from a young age. It's not good to just study hard." Ji Zhenwei waved his hand and didn't listen to Ji Xingzhe's opinion. "Anyway, you were originally planning to study abroad. Now you're just changing to domestic. It won't affect your studies."
Ji Xingzhe still didn't want to go, but he opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything to refute.
"Xiaozhe, it's okay. He will definitely come back during the Chinese New Year. You can fly back if you miss home. Mom will have someone make delicious food for you." Madam Ji obviously knew what was going on and had no objection. She just looked at Duan Yunhong and said, "Ah Hong, our Xiaozhe has good self-control and self-care abilities, but he is still young after all. Please take care of him. The same goes for Xiaochi. You should take care of your younger brother. There is a nanny over there, right? Don't let the two of you, the grown men, forget that there is a little one at home when you are so busy."
Duan Yunhong smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely take good care of Xiaozhe."
When Ji Xingzhe heard this, he felt a blackness in front of his eyes.
***
After the Ji family party ended that evening, Duan Yunhong returned to... Ning Fei's home.
"According to your arrangement, Ji Xingzhe's winter vacation was sent to Shencheng."
Duan Yunhong stood in the living room, unbuttoning his shirt sleeves as he spoke: "He almost peed himself out of fear. Before I left, I saw that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, so I stayed for a few minutes to see what he was going to do. In the end, he couldn't even say a word, what a coward."
"You want a bastard who hasn't even grown all his hair to compete with you in courage? Isn't this a joke?" Ning Fei stepped forward and helped him unbutton his clothes. "Do you still expect him to confess and come to you to talk about Lin Shengjia? But forget it, he has rarely even looked me in the eye this week."
"Isn't this the effect you want to achieve? To make him lose his composure like a frightened bird. You said you didn't want him to bother Lin Shengjia anymore, but I think you have a bad taste in your mouth and want him to act like a clown for your amusement." Duan Yunhong said, pulling out a small plastic bag the size of a palm from his trouser pocket, "We also got his DNA."
Ning Fei took it and looked at the hair follicles in the bag: "As expected of Mr. Duan, there is nothing he can't accomplish with his quick eyes and hands. How did you pull it out?"
"Before leaving, I pretended to touch his head twice, and then I grabbed it hard." Duan Yunhong said as he walked towards the bathroom, "He felt pain, but he didn't dare to resist."
"He must think you are deliberately making trouble for him." Ning Fei followed him and leaned against the door to watch the man wash his hands. "Hey, do you think he knows about the paternity test?"
"It's hard to say." Duan Yunhong finally felt less uncomfortable after washing his hands. He wiped his hands and looked at Ning Fei, "But I also reminded Ji Zhenwei of his physical examination. I guess he will go for a physical examination and blood draw within the next two weeks."
"Boss Duan, you are really amazing. You are good at everything." Ning Fei said happily, "Ji Zhenwei seems very conceited. How did you persuade him to follow your arrangements?"
"I said that the hospital imported the most advanced testing technology from abroad." Duan Yunhong walked up to Ning Fei who was blocking the door, looked at him with his eyes slightly lowered, and said lightly, "He is superstitious about 'imported from abroad'."
"Hahaha, no wonder!" Ning Fei slapped the small bag back into Duan Yunhong's hand, "Then you should keep the report well. Then you can ask Ji Xingzhe in due time whether he knows how to use DNA testing."
Duan Yunhong put the bag back into his pocket, propped up the wall beside the door frame with one hand, and approached the smiling man: "Why not just tell him directly and control him? Don't you find it annoying to put psychological pressure on him little by little over and over again?"
"Don't worry, it's not me who's in charge."
Duan Yunhong: “…”
"Okay, don't be impatient. This bastard will bite when he's pushed too far. Although I don't mind, I don't want Lin Shengjia to experience a big upheaval before the college entrance exam. If you slowly threaten Ji Xingzhe like this, he will be in a state of forbearance for a long time and dare not make any big moves." Ning Fei raised his hand to straighten Duan Yunhong's collar, "And this kind of psychological impact will last long. If you say it directly, what if he hits rock bottom and wants to perform well and become particularly motivated? That would be no fun. Living in suspicion forever like now, being afraid every day, and having nightmares every day when sleeping, will make his grades plummet uncontrollably."
Duan Yunhong grabbed his hand and said, "Are you taking revenge on him? Because he falsely accused you of helping Lin Shengjia cheat?"
"Yeah, isn't it?" Ning Fei sneered, "A little thing dares to bring trouble to me, so let him be completely silent."
"He should be thankful that he didn't find a new tutor now." Duan Yunhong guessed, "Otherwise you would definitely find a way to steal a set of test answers and give them to that teacher, and then let Ji Xingzhe prove that he cheated."
"Who knows? Maybe, maybe not." Ning Fei knew that Duan Yunhong was also summarizing his own action patterns, and replied ambiguously, "But with you here, this should be quite simple. How about you help me make it happen?"
"Forget it. I don't want to cause trouble for myself." Duan Yunhong responded coldly, "You will probably treat me the same way next time, right? You weren't very polite last time, so you will be ruthless next time, right?"
"Don't say it so scary." Ning Fei leaned against him, "Look, this time, I didn't threaten the time traveler by deducting his luck. I still have a conscience, don't I?"
He spoke in a leisurely tone, but Duan Yunhong knew very well that he was not really that innocent. There was no threat or punishment this time, but Lin Shengjia was cooperative enough and would only respond to soft tactics and not hard ones. If necessary, murder and arson are nothing to him.
But, so what? Ning Fei now takes the initiative to lean on Duan Yunhong's arms, and Duan Yunhong will pick him up.
"I will come back once a week in the future." Duan Yunhong carried the person and walked towards the bedroom. "I earned the money for you anyway, so I don't need to save money for your air tickets."
Ning Fei: "It's for Lin Shengjia. And what are you doing, checking up on him?"
Duan Yunhong: "Good idea. If I find out that you've slept with someone else, the cooperation agreement between me and Lin Shengjia will be void. How do you think?"
Ning Fei laughed loudly: "Boss Duan, you are threatening me with this? Where is your spirit of contract?"
Duan Yunhong: "What kind of contract spirit do I need with a time traveler? Just tell me whether you agree or not."
"Okay, okay. What else can I do if I don't agree? Do I have any other choice?" In fact, Ning Fei's current situation does not allow him to spare much time to go out and play on weekdays, but he can talk as if he is giving in to Duan Yunhong helplessly.
"As long as Mr. Duan comes back with enough effort, I promise you won't see anyone else in my bed, okay?"
