With Yun Siyu, a beautiful woman with a good conversational manner, Zhang Xuetao's life became more comfortable. Moreover, he was no longer the powerless young master he had been a year and a half ago. He had already started to cultivate his own confidants.
Of course, he would definitely not publicize the existence of Yun Siyu. After all, he had a fiancée, and this fiancée was not someone he could abandon just because he wanted to. So he found excuses to meet Yun Siyu, and avoided the elite team that Duan Zongqing handed over to him.
But there is no wall that is impenetrable. No matter how well Zhang Xuetao hid it, rumors still spread. There was even a blurry photo of him and Yun Siyu going out on a date that appeared in an unknown tabloid, which attracted people's attention for a while.
However, the tabloid that reported this news soon closed down, and it was sealed by the police on the grounds that it reported fabricated news, used a few blurry photos to write the story, and slandered the reputation of Marshal Zhang. In the end, the matter was left unresolved.
Zhang Xuetao also received a call from his father. He explained calmly:
"Father, I was fighting outside, and some people just couldn't stand me getting any better. They found a female reporter to interview me and said we were related. It was such an obvious slander, and I definitely won't be fooled a second time after being fooled once. I have already closed down that newspaper, and the woman in the photo was so scared that she went back to her hometown."
"Other aspects are easy to deal with, but you must control yourself when it comes to women. Before you marry Lianyi, you must keep yourself clean. After you get married, everything will be in your hands. You can bring in a few concubines you like, and I won't stop you. Even the Duan family won't say anything.
Duan Zongqing doesn't have a wife, but he has four concubines. As long as you don't overdo things and ensure that Duan Lianyi's position is stable, no one has the right to blame you. Remember?"
Zhang Fenglin still gave instructions with concern.
He immediately asked his men to look at the newspaper. It was indeed blurry, with only the back of a woman, and she was obviously walking one after the other with his son, without any intimate behavior. He also thought that someone was making things up, but he still reminded his son.
"Don't worry, father. I know what's going on."
Zhang Xuetao hung up the phone, then he hugged Yun Siyu, who looked grim, and coaxed her softly:
"Si Yu, I know it's my fault. I couldn't help myself and made you feel wronged, but you also know that my engagement cannot be cancelled."
Yun Siyu's eyes were slightly red, filled with crystal tears. She looked at Zhang Xuetao and said with a sob:
"Xue Tao, I really love you, and I am willing to be with you. Besides, when I met you, you were not engaged. It was just fate. But I will never be your aunt in this life. I will not despise myself like that."
After saying this, pearl-like tears began to fall, and she looked so pitiful.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I am forced by the situation. I am maintaining the engagement in order to utilize the Duan family's military strength. I have no choice but to hide you. Didn't you say that you would walk side by side with me?
When we have achieved results, I believe my father will no longer object. The most important thing is that Duan Lianyi and I have no feelings for each other. I have always regarded her as my sister. When I first met her, she was only as tall as my waist, just a yellow-haired girl. "
Zhang Xuetao raised his hand to wipe Yun Siyu's tears, then comforted her softly.
"I understand. I will try my best to avoid suspicion in the future, do my own work well, establish my own prestige, and help you firmly grasp the hearts of the troops.
In my heart, you are a man of integrity. Even without using nepotism, you can accomplish great things. But you insisted that you wanted to borrow the military strength of the Duan family before you could form an alliance. Didn't the Duan family rely on the power of the Zhang family?
But the Duan family is smart. They put forward their only daughter to marry you. Then you have everything. Even if you become successful in the future, you must take good care of that young lady, otherwise people will say you are ungrateful. They will not say that your two families are mutually beneficial, but only that you have a strong support by marrying Duan Lianyi.
I never dared to dream of being with you before, but now I am yours, and I will definitely make plans for you. Think carefully about whether what I said is right, and then decide what to do in the future. I will always stand by your side."
After Yun Siyu finished speaking, she wiped away her tears, left Zhang Xuetao's arms, and walked out of his lounge.
After listening to Yun Siyu's words, Zhang Xuetao also fell into deep thought.
It can only be said that Yun Siyu understands men's bad nature too well. That awkward self-esteem and desire for control, as well as the wonderful feeling of holding power alone, all made Zhang Xuetao listen to Yun Siyu's provocative words.
Because subconsciously, Zhang Xuetao doesn't like to hear others say that he relied on women to get to where he is today, especially since he will be the commander of the Duan family army in the future and there will probably be many people in the Duan family army who do not obey him.
He began to think about how to change this situation and make himself invincible. He could smoothly take over the power of the Duan family without causing their backlash and let the Duan family army continue to support him. A rough plan formed in his mind, and what he needed to do next was to improve it step by step.
The relationship between Yun Siyu and Zhang Xuetao is clearly seen by the personal guards around Zhang Xuetao, but Yun Siyu knows how to behave and never bullies others. She is also the main force of the medical rescue department, so there are still people standing on her side. After all, it is Doctor Yun, not that Miss Jiao, who is accompanying the young master in the charge.
If Lianyi heard the thoughts of these people, she would definitely say "Pooh". Are the soldiers of the Duan family who are fighting in the battle all transparent? Isn't it because Zhang Xuetao is the son-in-law of the Duan family that he has these helpers?
On the other side, Duan Zongqing had received more accurate information from Xia Xin, and the photo was not a blurry back view, but a clear photo of them going in and out together. There were even detailed records of the time and place of their tryst.
"These two were still worried about our Duan family's presence in the rear, so they found excuses to leave the camp and go to the city for a tryst. But Yun Siyu didn't know that we already had someone planted by her side."
Xia Xin drank her tea and said in a cold voice.
Duan Zongqing felt cold all over after seeing the photo. Chun Xiao, who was standing beside him, frowned as she looked at Yun Siyu's beautiful face in the photo. After putting down the photo in her hand, she raised her hand to help Duan Zongqing smooth his chest and said:
"Master, don't be angry! The young lady doesn't love him, and she has long been aware of the existence of Yun Siyu. Things are developing in the direction we expected, and even smoother than expected. Don't be angry."
"This bastard actually dared to lose face for me, Duan Zongqing. He is so hopelessly stupid. Compared with his old fox father, he is far inferior."
Although he had anticipated Zhang Xuetao's behavior, he was still very angry when the other party actually did it.
