After kicking out my ex-husband, his brother and I got back together.

Chapter 37 Taking someone home for dinner at night
Duan Xiaowu fell asleep in a daze for half an hour.

Then Anna comes in and wakes her up.

The reason is simple, Old Man Duan is here.

Duan Xiaowu stood up in a hurry. His mind was not yet clear, and his body was already heading towards the door.

Since the old man stepped down two years ago, he has rarely come back to the group.

What's going on today?He didn't even say hello, he just made a sneak attack.

Duan Chengxiong walked into Duan Xiaowu's office on crutches with Xu Rou's support.

The old man, who originally looked majestic, now had a dark face and looked even more scary.

The assistants at the door were so frightened that they dared not speak out.

When the tea was brought in, they were almost always holding their breath.

"What's the matter with you? Are you sleeping in the office in broad daylight?" The old man sat down on the sofa and asked questions.

His eyebrows were raised, obviously he was dissatisfied with Duan Xiaowu's slack work attitude.

Duan Xiaowu didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

She couldn't say that she slept with a man in a car on the mountain last night.

I had no choice but to play careless and change the topic.

"What are you doing here?"

Duan Chengxiong hadn't calmed down yet, so he punched the ground with his crutch several times.

Dissatisfied: "What? I can't come to my own group?"

"If I hadn't come, would I know that this is how your dignified President Duan sets an example in front of his employees?"

Duan Xiaowu felt a little angry when he saw that he could not get over this hurdle.

Unable to control his emotions for a moment, he defended in a low voice.

"I just took a short rest for half an hour, and I looked like I was an unforgivable sin."

It turned out that it was okay if she didn't say it, which made Old Man Duan even more angry.

Seeing that the father and daughter are about to fall out again.

Xu Rou, who was sitting next to her, quickly came out to smooth things over: "Okay, okay. There are still people outside. What's the quarrel like?"

"Aren't you here on business?"

After saying that, she turned to look at Duan Xiaowu who was standing, "Xiao Wu, please stop saying a few words."

Duan Xiaowu gave her a face-saving shush.

Duan Chengxiong actually knew that this matter was not serious. In the final analysis, he just found a way to vent his anger.

Duan Xiaowu is his only daughter, but the relationship between father and daughter has become increasingly tense in recent years.

Every time they meet, they are either quarreling or preparing to quarrel.

Before coming today, Xu Rou emphasized it to him again and again.

When you meet, you should communicate well and don't get angry easily.

It hurts your feelings and your liver.

But as soon as he thought about the fact that this damn girl got the marriage certificate without even telling him, he couldn't suppress his anger no matter what.

It was the same before, in order to start my own business from the Duan family, I randomly found a third-rate young model and wanted to get married.

What happened in the end?Being humiliated at the wedding ceremony.The shame was thrown at the media and newspapers.

Does she look down upon her Duan family so much?He worked hard for half his life to build this foundation.Obviously she could reach it with her hand, but she just didn't want it.

Duan Chengxiong still couldn't figure this out.

So he set two extremely difficult conditions.

The purpose was to make Duan Xiaowu retreat in spite of the difficulties.

But not only did she not retreat, she also chose to take the attack head-on.

Duan Xiaowu didn't know what the old man was thinking, but she did set a bad example for the group's employees by closing the office and sleeping during working hours.

She called Anna outside the door and asked in front of old man Duan.

"Does the group's attendance system have penalties for sleeping during working hours?"

Anna was puzzled, but still nodded and answered truthfully: "Yes, 50% of the bonus for the month will be deducted once."

"Yes." Duan Xiaowu nodded after hearing this, and then said: "Then the punishment will be three times the prescribed amount and half of my bonus will be deducted."

Anna: "..." What's going on?Isn’t this group your family’s?Deducting money does not mean going out of the left pocket and into the right pocket.

If you two gods fight, can you not bring disaster to me, the fish in the pond?

Just when Anna was frozen in place, not knowing how to deal with it.

Duan Chengxiong on the sofa also spoke.

"Most of your bonus is the year-end bonus. How much money can you get from that bonus? Is it enough for you to buy a watch for the pretty boy?"

Duan Xiaowu finally heard some clues.

The only watch she bought recently was the one she gave to Chang Rong yesterday.

On her way back to T city, she asked Anna to go to the brand executives to get it.

The president of that brand's Greater China region often plays golf with Mr. Duan, and I'm afraid the news will leak out.

After knowing the source of the firepower, Duan Xiaowu had a plan in mind.

She didn't originally intend to hide it from the old man, but the situation between her and Chang Rong was a bit complicated, and she didn't know why she didn't confess to the old man.

Now that all the ducks are on the shelf, I have no choice but to tell the truth.

She took out her marriage certificate from her bag and handed it to Duan Chengxiong in a polite manner.

"Ahem, I've been too busy these days and never had time to tell you."

Old Man Duan suppressed his curiosity and did not pick up the big red book she handed over.

"Where did you find the young actor again this time? He must have paid a lot of money, otherwise people can testify against you?"

Duan Xiaowu just wanted to tell Chang Rong's identity.

But Duan Chengxiong pointed at her nose again and continued to yell:
"Do you know what it means to pull evidence? Have you signed a prenuptial agreement? With your uncertain temperament, if we get divorced in a few years, wouldn't even my Duan family have to be assigned to an outsider?"

Duan Xiaowu was speechless.

Regardless of whether Chang Rong likes the Duan family or not, even if that day comes, it can still be regarded as her pre-marital property.

Old Man Duan's indiscriminate accusations made her feel very unhappy.My heart, which was already a little depressed, now turned into a rage.

"Didn't you ask me to get married? And I also want to give you a grandson as your heir as soon as possible."

"Then they helped me give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson. What's wrong with you giving him some power?"

Duan Xiaowu's irony skill was maxed out, and Duan Chengxiong was so angry that he almost hit him with his cane.

Seeing that the father and daughter had a disagreement and were about to fight.

Xu Rou quickly had to start putting out the fire again.

She first looked at Duan Xiaowu: "Xiao Wu, please stop saying a few words. Your dad had a physical examination last month. The doctor said that his liver was not in good condition. He should be less angry."

After saying that, he helped Duan Chengxiong's chest and said comfortingly: "Xiao Wu is already an adult. These things must have been carefully thought out."

After Duan Xiaowu replied, she realized that she was a little angry today.

Maybe it's because of lack of sleep.

She took a deep breath to calm down.

Then he turned the marriage certificate to the information page and handed it to Old Man Duan again.

"This time it's not a young actor, it's Chang Rong."

Duan Chengxiong's expression paused, "Who are you talking about?"

"Chang - Rong -" he called out the name while trying to remember.

Suddenly, he came to a realization.

"You mean, Chang Rong, the grandson of Chief Chang who lives next door to us?"

Duan Xiaowu nodded speechlessly.

This time it was Duan Chengxiong's turn to be stunned: "No, haven't you two not contacted each other for many years?"

Duan Xiaowu didn't know how to explain it.

In the end, I had to vaguely say, "It's just, we meet again."

Duan Chengxiong then stretched out his hand to get her marriage certificate and looked at the neatly photographed large-headed wedding certificate of the two people above.

After a few minutes of silence, he spoke again:
"In the evening, take someone home for dinner."

After saying that, he stood up straight away.Walked out of Duan Xiaowu's office.
