Chapter 31: Mr. Duan is being lectured by his elders
Song Yinxi sent a message saying that she was staying at a hotel with Min Xin tonight and wouldn't be coming back.
Is a hotel better than home?
If you don't want to reply, then don't!
His room, his bed, finally belonged to him alone.
readily!
Duan Jinchi lay down on the bed, hoping to fall asleep quickly, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
It's only been a few days... Could Song Yinxi already be that important to him?
No, that's not true.
He was a little angry.
At least when she was hospitalized, he took care of her around the clock. Now that she's recovered, she doesn't even come home.
Instead of Song Yinxi returning home, Duan Jinchi was greeted by his parents who came to visit.
When he went downstairs early in the morning, he saw his parents sitting upright in the living room.
"Dad, Mom," Duan Jinchi greeted them, "Have you had breakfast? Let's eat and chat."
Duan Yiping had just returned from abroad yesterday, and upon hearing about the outrageous things Duan Jinchi had done, he came knocking on his door first thing this morning.
The three moved to the dining room, where the servants laid out breakfast and then quietly withdrew.
At the dining table, Duan Jinchi ate his breakfast slowly and deliberately. Duan Yiping glanced at him several times before finally speaking, "Where is she?"
"I stayed at my best friend's house last night," Duan Jinchi answered calmly. "Dad, would you like to meet her?"
"What right do I have to meet her? I heard she has amnesia, so you took the opportunity to impersonate her husband? You...you are simply..." Duan Yiping was so angry that he couldn't find the words to describe this absurd behavior.
Is his son out of his mind? How could he do such a thing?
It's ridiculous!
This is an utter disgrace.
"Dad, actually I've liked her for a while, but I never had the chance to express it. I felt this was an opportunity, so I did this. Please don't be angry. Xixi is very outstanding. If we can be together, our two families can make peace, which will benefit everyone." Duan Jinchi said earnestly.
He didn't explain it to his mother like this last time, but his mother said that if he could really win over Song Yinxi, she would put in a good word for him with his father.
Today, he has to put it another way.
Duan Yiping stared at him with a deep gaze and a serious expression, as if trying to find some flaw in his eyes.
"She likes you?" Duan Yiping said coldly. "Even if she does, do you think her father would agree to you two being together? You know how much her father hates us, father and son! Likes you? Dream on! Even if he does, he's just using you!"
He had no faith in the relationship and even worried that his son would be taken advantage of and become someone else's victim.
Xie Shuya gently nudged her husband's arm: "You never know what will happen when young people are in love. What if? Our son is just as good as you."
"I thought you were rational, but you've gone along with my nonsense." Duan Yiping said, slightly annoyed.
"What else can we do? Now many people outside think they're a couple!" Xie Shuya withdrew her hand and glanced at him.
"It seems Song Jingfu doesn't know yet, otherwise he would have come knocking on our door long ago." Duan Yiping's head ached just thinking about Song Jingfu.
The Song family's dislike for them is nothing new.
"Dad, don't you trust your son?" Duan Jinchi asked casually. "I won't be fooled so easily."
"Ha, you won't?" Duan Yiping sneered. "I heard you spent 300 million on jewelry for her at the jewelry exhibition. Such a foolish act, and you still say you won't be fooled!"
"Mom, did you hear that? A husband who spends 300 million yuan on jewelry for his wife is a tyrant. What does that mean? It means that Dad didn't buy you the jewelry willingly!"
That kid's got a knack for shifting blame.
Xie Shuya turned her gaze to Duan Yiping and asked, "Is that so, husband?"
"No! Honey, I buy you things willingly, and I earn money for you to spend. But he's different; he's lying!" Duan Yiping explained while glaring fiercely at Duan Jinchi.
"If word gets out that he's doing this, how will our Duan family maintain our standing in Jingzhou?" Duan Yiping's head throbbed with worry. "Duan Jinchi, how are you going to clean up this mess?"
"Dad, I'll handle it," Duan Jinchi said softly.
—Actually, aside from in his dreams, he hadn't thought that far ahead.
Premature anxiety is a recipe for disaster when it comes to loans.
“I can already imagine how Song Jingfu will berate me!” Duan Yiping glared at him coldly. “If you really like her, you should find a chance to make it clear, instead of lying! Can a relationship built on deception last?”
“You’re right, I’ll find a suitable opportunity to be honest with her,” Duan Jinchi replied.
As for when, that's up to him.
"Duan Jinchi, don't take this opportunity to bully her," Duan Yiping warned worriedly.
"Dad, what era are we living in? What if she's bullying me?" Duan Jinchi chuckled. "I've never been in a relationship before, this is my first time too."
Who says only men can bully women?
Dad doesn't understand Song Yinxi at all.
She kept teasing him, and then said she was on her period.
Duan Yiping's expression froze. These words...
Xie Shuya was also shocked. Duan Jinchi was bullied by Song Yinxi?
If he was really bullied, then he deserved it!
Taking advantage of her amnesia, he pretended to be her husband!!
Duan Jinchi hasn't beaten anyone in a long time.
“You don’t need to tell us the details. Your dad is right, if this gets out, it will affect both families. Song Jingfu isn’t in Jingzhou right now. When he comes back, or when Song Yinxi regains her memory, you’ll be in trouble,” Xie Shuya reminded her.
Hopefully that day won't come too soon.
After seeing his parents off, Duan Jinchi took out his phone, but there was still no message from Song Yinxi on the screen.
Men need to take the initiative.
A man who doesn't take initiative will never have a wife.
Duan Jinchi quickly typed: "Wife, good morning, are you up yet?"
[Wife: I'm at the company. I despise you, you lazy pig!]
Duan Jinchi: "..."
She's already at the company?
Working so hard?
My body has just recovered, can I handle it?
Don't overwork yourself again.
Meanwhile, Song Yinxi did indeed go to the company. After attending two short meetings, she rushed to the research institute.
Jiang Muyun previously worked abroad, and the team she's leading now was newly formed after returning to China. She needs to provide adequate benefits and show genuine care.
However, Jiang Muyun was busy, so Song Yinxi didn't disturb him.
Just as she was about to leave, she turned around and saw Lin Manni get out of the car and stop at the laboratory entrance.
"Song Yinxi!"
"Looking for me?" Song Yinxi pointed to herself. "We probably don't have anything to talk about."
"What do you mean there isn't? You shameless scoundrel!"
"Me?" Song Yinxi raised an eyebrow. "If I skinned you alive, would you still be standing here talking?"
"It wasn't me, it was my cousin! He hasn't come home at night since he joined your company! Even robots need to be charged, let alone a human. I knew you were unreliable, deliberately exploiting my cousin and making my grandfather worry." Lin Manni approached in her high heels. "Release him!"
"Are you out of your mind? I've never restricted your cousin's freedom, and he doesn't have to clock in. As for why he doesn't go home, you should just ask him directly. Don't make false accusations all the time. Everyone in Changqing knows I'm famous for my excellent employee benefits." Song Yinxi smiled slightly. "If you're here to cause trouble, I'm sorry, Changqing Lab doesn't welcome you."
“I’m looking for my cousin; my grandfather wants to see him,” Lin Manni said with a sullen face.
"I will tell him."
Song Yinxi, who had originally planned to leave, has now changed her mind—she has decided to go back.
Lin Manni stared at Song Yinxi's back and suddenly remembered something—didn't she have a childhood sweetheart who was studying in Germany?
You can come back and take a look now.
