The moment those words left her lips, Jiang Lianru's smile froze, and her face quickly darkened.
A family of...three?
Is Madam Duan ill? What position does she place the manager in by saying this?
How can someone who shows such favoritism be called a mother?
"Mr. Duan." Manager Duan also realized that his mother was not giving him face. He put his arm around Jiang Lianru's shoulder and looked at his father with a threatening gaze.
"I finally agreed to bring my daughter-in-law home, and this is your attitude?"
He was able to return to the Duan family smoothly thanks to Duan's father's cowardice; he dared not offend him.
He refused to believe that this blindly filial coward would actually dare to disobey Old Master Duan's wishes and drive him away.
Sure enough, Mr. Duan smiled and said, "Well, I ordered takeout outside and it seems to have arrived. Why don't you and Miss Jiang go out and get it? We're family, so it's best to eat together."
"That's right, we're all family, we should be like family."
Manager Duan pulled Jiang Lianru to her feet, his eyes full of smugness: "Baby, let's go get the takeout. When we get back, we won't let those disgusting gay men eat it."
But when they went outside, they didn't see the takeout; instead, they saw Mr. Duan hurriedly following them out.
With a loud bang, the door was locked.
Manager Duan turned around hurriedly: "What do you mean?"
"Hey, don't be angry," Mr. Duan chuckled. "What I meant was, the name of this takeout is—Get Lost!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran back into the house, leaving the two of them standing there dumbfounded in the cool breeze.
Like trash carelessly tossed out the door, it's both shameful and pathetic.
"Damn it! Duan Changde! You'll regret this! You'll be begging me for mercy one day!"
In an attempt to save face, Manager Duan addressed his father by his name and stood outside the iron gate in a fit of impotent rage.
That's right, he is not Duan's father's illegitimate son, but Duan's grandfather's illegitimate son.
Duan's father's biological brother, and Duan Sijin's uncle.
If it weren't for the fact that Old Master Duan was broke and that Duan's father controlled most of the Duan family's finances, he wouldn't have come to the Duan family so humbly.
Since the Duan family is so heartless, then don't blame him. He'll catch Duan Sijin and torment him to death!
Now that their only son is gone, do those two old bastards still have the nerve to mess with him?
"Hmph, just wait and see what happens!" After saying this, Manager Duan hugged Jiang Lianru tenderly and comforted her softly.
"I'm sorry, my family was inconsiderate and made you suffer because of them."
"It's nothing." Jiang Lianru bravely wiped away her tears and raised her head: "I'm better off without such awful family members."
"Don't be afraid, Lili, I will always be with you."
"Lianru, you're so good to me." Manager Duan kissed her. "I'll take you to the apartment I bought. Come see me tomorrow..."
He originally wanted to say "my dad," but after thinking about it, he changed his address and said, "Grandpa, go see Grandpa Duan, he'll definitely like you. Okay?"
"So, tonight... I... I'm not going home?"
Jiang Lianru's face turned bright red, making Manager Duan's heart itch with desire.
"Baby, let's go to my house!" With that, he picked her up and carried her into the car.
I couldn't wait to get into the back seat of the car...
… …
In her mind's eye, Xiao Yao, seeing this scene, frowned deeply and was about to vomit.
She quickly looked away, waving her little paws to close the system: [Master, this is where the story begins, the point where they killed the original owner.]
[After tomorrow, Manager Duan will use Old Master Duan to gradually force the original owner of this body to his death.]
[The Duan family patriarch, a philanderer in his old age, has an illegitimate son younger than the original owner of this body. Unable to provide Duan Sili with money, he forces Duan's father to acknowledge the son so that Duan Sili can rightfully inherit the Duan family's wealth.]
Si Jin asked: Why is Old Master Duan so protective of Manager Duan?
The Duan family had been fortune tellers for generations, and Old Master Duan was superstitious, so he tried every means to feign supernatural powers to make Old Master Duan believe that spoiling him would prolong his life and keep him free from illness and disaster.
Si Jin frowned slightly, and before she could reply, she heard Duan's mother ask, "What is this child thinking about? He hasn't said a word."
"Oh." Si Jin nodded naturally: "I miss my new boyfriend."
