The daughter of rebirth is not stupid

Chapter 89 The Duan's Dinner
As night fell, Duan Rou had already trusted the people present during the past time together, and even introduced Mr. Glasses to everyone without hesitation.

"Mister, seeing how close you are to Boss Duan, are you relative or..." Gu Wan simply didn't want to live anymore, and dared to provoke him in public?
Gu Wan thought, if you don't come to tease now, when will you wait?A rare opportunity.

Even if he angered the tiger, he was willing.

Duan Rou suddenly got up and stared at Gu Wan blankly, her cheeks flushed, pointing at Mo Ran beside her, "My man."

Even Lan Ran admires Duan Rou's courage, she can speak so confidently about her lover.

Gu Wan laughed twice and punished herself with three cups.

"She's drunk." Mo Ran helped Duan Rou leave.

Lan Ran can tell that Mr. Glasses is really gentle to Duan Rou, no wonder Duan Rou is deeply involved in it.

Seeing this, Sister Juan immediately smoothed things over, "Gu Wan, don't you talk too much, you are all guests, how do you talk?"

"I'm drunk, I'm drunk, does it count?" Gu Wan also tilted her head and lay down on the table, wondering if she was really drunk or fake drunk?
An Ruoxi and Lan Ran looked at each other, "Are you both drunk? What should we do then?"

At this moment, the doorbell rang, and Sister Juan got up to open the door. Outside the door stood a serious person with snow on her body.

"Sorry, I'm late." A familiar voice said.

Lan Ran craned her neck inexplicably, wanting to see him, but worried about what An Ruoxi beside her would see.

"Is it snowing?" Sister Juan rushed to the window regardless of her seriousness.

An Ruoxi also pulled Lan Ran to the window. It really snowed, the first snow this year.

Gu Wan, who was pretending to be drunk, took the opportunity to wake up, "I think I'm going to be finished, can you take me away later?"

His serious gaze was fixed somewhere, and he didn't care about Gu Wan at all, "Are we familiar?"

The three of them are strangers in different positions now, don't look like they know each other well.

Gu Wan snorted coldly, "I don't know who seems to be rigorous and has caused a debt of love."

He is a detective who knows everything, but he really didn't see that he was a serious looking person, and he was quite angry behind his back.

Turning to look at him seriously, "I remember when five girlfriends came to the door at the same time, you were the one who asked me to help, right?"

Gu Wan immediately put on a smile, "I can't bear to look back on the past, I was still young back then."

The two were talking, and another person sat down opposite, Mo Ran.

"How's the matter going?" He asked out of nowhere.

"You're not too old, so why don't you let others have a good time? Don't worry, the three of us are together, there are still things that can't be solved?"

Gu Wan patted her chest and assured that nothing would happen.

Seriously raised his hand and looked at his watch, "I have to leave beforehand."

Comes and goes in a hurry, which shows that seriousness must be entangled in something, and it is difficult to get out.

"If you have anything to say, just speak up." Mo Ran looked at him, it seems that he hasn't had a good rest recently.

After thinking about it seriously, he frightened people to death when he opened his mouth, "Can you arrange a private jet?"

Gu Wan's dirty words have already popped out, "Seriously, who do you want to kidnap?"

The last time they used a private jet, they used it to kidnap people.

Before she could say goodbye seriously, Lan Ran could only leave because there was an announcement tomorrow.

Duan Rou was not there, and no one asked to keep her, so the three men looked at her, and then said to go slowly.

As soon as Lan Ran left, he got up solemnly.

Gu Wan pulled him back, "I don't like porridge and side dishes anymore, and I actually see a difficult one!"

Can't make fun of Mo Ran, can you make fun of the serious head office?Who knew Seriously raised his hand to hit him.

Lan Ran didn't leave immediately, but walked into the snow curtain, letting the snowflakes pile up on her body, she needed to calm down.

She acted like a stranger just now, when did she become so disappointing, her nose was sore.

Suddenly a hand was placed on her shoulder, and she turned around in fright and punched, female self-defense.

But was intercepted before the hit, "Do you know how important a star image is?"

It turned out to be serious.

"It's snowing, it's not safe for you to drive, I'll take you back."

So he came after him just to say this?

"I'm not good-looking? Is it not gentle enough? Or do you also think that I am an actor and not worthy of your noble status as the young master?"

Depressed for too long, she needed a vent and a result so much, she actually exploded in place in the snow.

Seriously turned around and looked at her, looking forward to what she would continue to say, deliberately pretending not to know what she was talking about.

"What's your expression? Are you pretending? Don't tell me you really don't know what I'm talking about!"

She wants to cry but has no tears. Is it really difficult to understand such straightforward words?

"It's snowing heavily, let's go."

"Fuck your snow!"

"Stars are not allowed to swear." He had already wrapped his arms around her body, trying his best to shield her from the wind and snow.

It was another frustrating day, Lan Ran had finished all the announcements and stayed at home again, and started to be in a daze even though she was deserted.

Until the phone looked like it was about to explode, messages followed one after another, all congratulating her.

The new year hasn't arrived yet, what are you congratulating her for?
Only Duan Rou congratulated her for letting her watch more mobile phone news later!
Turning on the news pushed by her mobile phone, she was almost blown up by the shocking news, the picture of her apartment downstairs, the picture of her and a man.

The man is a figure from the back and a profile, you don't need to guess who you are.

The content behind it turned out to be a serious admission that the person in the photo was him, and yes, he even took the initiative to admit it.

The paparazzi are really pervasive now, Serious and she are so careful, there is still a way to take pictures?
No, seriously, wouldn't he think that Xue Tian couldn't confess, so he would force him to admit it?
The hand holding the mobile phone was trembling, so I hurriedly called to prove my innocence.

"I had people film it, get it published in the newspaper, and get people to interview me."

"What?" Lan Ran thought she had heard wrong.

"Confession is a man's business." Announcing the world also made it impossible for Lan Ran to refuse.

Xue Tianlanran's words really touched him too much, and he even felt that he was too much for her.

That's why I did the most impossible thing to do seriously, and I was surprised afterwards.

"Lawyer Yan, you're not confessing, you're trying to extract a confession!"

No wonder so many people sent messages to congratulate her, that's why.

"See you tonight."

His tone suddenly became gentle, and Lan Ran also accepted the fact.

After hanging up the phone, everyone felt light, as if they were dreaming.

Some people are sweet, and some people are destined to face reality, especially Duan Rou's identity.

She was still immersed in the joy of her new house, when someone poured a basin of cold water on her head.

"During the Chinese New Year, even if you pretend to me, you have to pretend to be a loving couple. You don't want to send my dad into the hospital again, do you?"

The original words of Hangze's message, it's been so long since I haven't spoken, and this is the message I received.

The breakup between the two indicates that many things can only be done through acting, and the face of the two families must be taken into account.

It also means that she is destined to not be able to accompany Mo Ran during the Chinese New Year this year, and must play the loving couple with Hang Ze among the relatives of various families.

Mo Ran seems to have been prepared for a long time, "Don't worry about me, I don't celebrate any festivals, it doesn't matter."

Duan Rou knew that Mo Ran was a loner with no relatives and few friends, so the more she was like this, the more she couldn't bear it.

"I will try my best to spare time to accompany you." When she said this, she didn't believe it herself.

Mo Ran smiled, as if he was really at ease with her.

Duan Yun and Duan Yu also returned to China a few years ago, and they brought back a lot of presents. Duan Yun's people were much more energetic, and Zhao Xuelan felt relieved.

No one dared to mention Mo Ran's name in front of Duan Yun, it was more like a taboo, for fear that Duan Yun would return to his previous appearance.

Duan Rou met Hang Ze at the agreed place, and she was silent all the way back to Duan's house, presumably also afraid that she would say bad things.

Until arriving at Duan's house, Hang Ze showed his hypocritical and gentle smile, and approached Duan's family with his arms around Duan Rou.

Duan Rou can only say that his acting skills are really good, there are no flaws, and they are a loving couple in the eyes of others.

Only Zhao Xuelan had a worried face, after all she knew Duan Rou's secret.

At the dining table, Duan Yu distributed the gifts he brought back and told a lot of interesting things. The Duan family was really a rare joy.

Even Mrs. Duan laughed heartily. After all, Duan Yu is the eldest grandson, so no matter how much she doesn't like Duan Ruan and Zhao Xuelan, she won't dislike Duan Yu.

Zhao Xuelan looked at the time, and it was almost dinner time, but Duan Hong hadn't come back yet.

When everyone arrived at the dinner table, the servant came in and stammered, "Old lady, Mr. Da is back, but..."

A burst of delicate laughter came in, Jiang Mei, who was dressed in gray fur, walked in, holding Duan Hong's arm.

Duan Yiyi in a red dress followed behind her.

"Madam, I miss you so much. When I saw jewelry that suits you abroad, I bought it without even thinking about it. But someone refused to let me give it to you. I can only ask Lao Hong to bring me in."

Jiang Mei was smiling so happily just now, and now she was crying, and then looked at Duan Hong again.

Duan Hong was eaten to death by Jiang Mei, "I let their mother and daughter come in, the two of them are so deserted during the Chinese New Year outside, it's better to have a family reunion."

"Grandma, you don't even know how much Yiyi misses you. Look, I've lost weight." Duan Yiyi stepped forward to hold the old lady's arm.

Looking at this scene, Duan Rou knew that Duan Hong was being used again. Looking around at the people at the dinner table, except for uncle Duan Xie with a sinister smile, everyone else was very embarrassed. After all, what Duan Hong did was too embarrassing for Zhao Xuelan.

Zhao Xuelan chose not to speak and ignore it. The grievances of these years are not bad. Anyway, she endured it and passed it.

But Duan Rou couldn't swallow this breath, "It seems that some people don't take human words seriously, and insist on learning from dogs."

When Jiang Mei heard that she was mocking her, she gritted her teeth. She promised not to come to Duan's house again. She originally thought that relying on Duan Hong would make Duan Rou calm down.

Who knows, Duan Rou still doesn't give face.

"Aunt Mei, this gift is also given, the door is right there, walk slowly and don't give it away."

Jiang Mei burst into tears, saying how difficult it was for her to be outside, that she knew she was wrong, and hoped to take care of her by the old lady's side.

Duan Hong followed this trick, but Duan Rou didn't. She immediately knew it was her trick.

"Aunt Mei, actually I don't want to say harsh words. You can ask grandma if you are allowed to stay. Are you from the Duan family? See if people here recognize you?"

Jiang Mei was very confident and pinned all her hopes on Mrs. Duan, but ever since Mrs. Duan knew who Jiang Mei was, she was very worried that Jiang Mei would affect the brotherhood.

That's why she was sent away. Anyone who is interested should understand that this is abandoning the game. I hope she can take care of herself.

The old lady sighed, "Let's go, today is our Duan's family dinner, no outsiders are welcome."

Jiang Mei was stunned as if someone had poured ice water all over her body.

Until the servant came to their mother and daughter, "Please, both of you."

Jiang Mei and Duan Yiyi looked at Duan Rou resentfully, when did she even bribe the old lady?
Jiang Mei pulled Duan Hong aggrievedly, hoping that he could say something, but the current atmosphere was already very clear, so Duan Hong also hesitated.

"What's wrong with you all? How can you say such a thing?"

Duan Hongdu is at this age, isn't it naive enough to ask such a question?
No one answered Duan Hong, he pulled Jiang Mei and Duan Yiyi angrily, "Since they are not welcome here, I will take them away."

Seeing that Duan Hong was about to leave, Zhao Xuelan couldn't sit still, Duan Rou quickly grabbed her and told her not to speak.

Although Jiang Mei was kicked out, as long as Duan Hong was still standing by her side, there would be plenty of opportunities, and she winked at Zhao Xuelan very proudly.

Zhao Xuelan was a little angry, but there was nothing she could do.

However, Duan Rou saw her proud uncle Duan Xie smiling but not smiling. He should be very happy to see such a scene, right?

Duan Rou's family has been torn apart, but she has to maintain the bottom line for this family, but she cannot tell everyone about the affair between Duan Xie and Jiang Mei.

Duan Hong was more inclined towards Jiang Mei. Seeing that the mother and daughter were about to leave, he also wanted to leave, but was stopped by the old lady.

"Don't go!"

Due to Mrs. Duan's intimidating power, Duan Hong could only obediently watch Jiang Mei's mother and daughter leave, and watched Duan Rou sit down with a cold snort.

"Let's have dinner."

When the old lady gave an order, everyone could only shut up and eat.

Afterwards, Duan Rou knew that it was far more suitable for her to give the photos to Mrs. Duan than to make them public. At least the family would have one less mouth to speak against her.

More importantly, the old lady didn't make things difficult for Duan Rou and Zhao Xuelan this time, and she didn't even mention Duan Rou's name.

Duan Xie seemed to have noticed the clue, and approached the old lady while everyone was distracted.

"Mom, why do you seem to have something on your mind?" Duan Xie asked tentatively.

The old lady gave him a meaningful look, "Second brother, you haven't looked for a woman since your wife died, and you're not too young, should you find someone to take care of you?"

Duan Xie's heart became inexplicably tense. After he was widowed, the old lady rarely mentioned this matter. Why did she suddenly pay attention to his life?
"Mom, I'm fine on my own now, and I haven't thought about anything else, so there's no need to bother."

Duan Xie felt like getting on fire, especially the way the old lady looked at him.

"Is there a woman outside?" The old lady followed closely.

Duan Xie immediately shook his head, "It's nothing, mom, don't worry about it, I came to ask you because I saw that the atmosphere in the elder brother's family was not right, since I have nothing to do, I will leave."

Seeing that a fire was about to burn himself, Duan Xie left quickly.

At the same time, I also received a text message from Jiang Mei, and I have been complaining about my grievances. Duan Xie has a bad feeling.

Hurry to ignore Jiang Mei's whining, and delete all the text messages.

At this moment, a voice that made hair stand on end came to mind again, "Uncle, what are you doing with this sneaky thing?"

Duan Xie put away the text message, "Why does Xiaorou care so much about uncle?"

Duan Xie, an old fox, puts on an honest smile and is extremely good at disguising his words.

"Isn't it because I'm afraid that my uncle won't distinguish between good and bad, and he's holding back?" Duan Rou has already seen through him, so there's no need to hide his words.

Duan Xie saw that this was the case, and put away his hypocritical smile, "Xiaorou, I'd better deal with my own housework more, I won't bother you, a junior, to worry about this matter."

Duan Xie once helped Jin Xiao reveal the Duan family's secrets, so there is no guarantee that he will be tempted later.

When Duan Xie left, he met Hang Ze and looked at Hang Ze with a smile on his lips.

"Why did uncle leave in such a hurry?"

"Hangze, you and I are sensible people, and we will have more opportunities to speak in the future."

Duan Xie didn't know what it meant, and Hang Ze couldn't figure it out.

Looking at the back of Duan Xie leaving, Hang Ze felt that Duan Xie was not as honest as he looked on the surface, with shrewdness in his eyes.

"Xiaorou, did you see Xiaoyun? He disappeared after eating."

Hearing Zhao Xuelan's voice, Hang Ze subconsciously hid in the dark without showing up.

Duan Rou shook her head, "I didn't see it, were you walking in the garden?"

"It's such a cold day, and it's snowing outside, who is going for a walk? Duan Yu just came back from the garden and said he didn't see Xiao Yun."

Zhao Xuelan was worried about this daughter, why did she feel restless when she came back?

Duan Yu came out from nowhere, "I know where the second sister went. When she returned to China, she went to the shopping mall. Although she said she wanted to buy a gift, she only bought one thing. It was very precious. She said she wanted it. For important people, will you send a gift?"

Duan Yu didn't take it seriously, he didn't think there was any problem with it, Duan Yun is such an old man, why can't he lose it?
This is Su Cheng, if the name of the Duan family is known, will anyone dare to touch Duan Yun?

But Zhao Xuelan and Duan Rou didn't think so. They originally thought that Duan Yun had figured it out when he went abroad, but who knew he was still obsessed with it.

"She went to Australia with you, what did she say?" Duan Rou asked her younger brother Duan Yu.

Duan Yu thought for a while, and there seemed to be one thing that was really abnormal, "Will you be surprised when I say a man's name? It is the man who saved the eldest sister and the second sister. It seems to be called Mo Ran."

Sure enough, going out for a trip didn't make any difference.

Zhao Xuelan sighed and stroked her chest, as if blocked.

"Isn't it normal for the second sister to fall in love at this age?" Duan Yu didn't know the reason.

"Forget it, let's go find her." Duan Rou knew that Mo Ran had already moved, and Duan Yun went in vain, so why bother?

Zhao Xuelan nodded, and went out with Duan Rou.

Duan Yu was puzzled, "What's going on?"

Hang Ze listened with gusto. It seemed that there was something that bothered Duan Ruan and Zhao Xuelan.

Hang Ze picked up his mobile phone and dialed Jin Lin's number, "You ask Jin Xiao to find out about the man who had an accident in Duan Yun's school and rescued her. Maybe we can use this man."

I really didn't expect to have such a breakthrough when I returned to Duan's house.

Duan Rou and Zhao Xuelan came to the place where Mo Ran used to rent, Zhao Xuelan saw Duan Rou stopped at the intersection in front of her, and looked at her incomprehensibly.

"Reached?"

Duan Rou shook her head, "The car in front can't get in, you can only walk."

Being so familiar with this place, Zhao Xuelan also understands the reason, but she still finds it difficult to accept her daughter's changes.

On the way in, the snow was a little deep, and the mother and daughter were holding hands.

"Is he nice to you?" Zhao Xuelan asked for no reason.

Duan Rou held her hand tightly, "Mom, I know that there is no relationship between you and Dad. I used to think that it would be different if I married Hangze, but I was wrong. I may be sadder than you .”

Duan Rou's voice was trembling, but Zhao Xuelan felt very strange, did she really have no feelings for Hang Ze?It wasn't like this when she graduated from college and wanted to marry Hang Ze without hesitation.

Something must have happened in the middle to change Duan Rou, but Zhao Xuelan couldn't ask.

Duan Rou calmed down, "He is different, he has no family glory, he is just an ordinary person, what he can give me is not money or benefits, but warmth, the house is not big enough but I feel very happy to have him."

She began to understand her feelings for Mo Ran, from just revenge for Hang Ze to the current dependence, she is aware of her change.

"Xiao Rou, I should stop you from marrying Hang Ze." Zhao Xuelan regretted it.

Duan Rou comforted her, "Mom, for the sake of the Duan family, is there any reason not to marry at that time? Don't worry, I will always be your daughter."

Zhao Xuelan began to blame herself. At first, she almost forced Duan Rou because of Duan Yun. Now that she thought about protecting Duan Yun and Duan Yu since she was a child, she really didn't care for Duan Rou a little bit.

The mother and daughter walked forward slowly, and saw a lonely figure, Duan Yun, downstairs in Mo Ran.

"Xiao Yun." Duan Rou called Duan Yun's name.

Duan Yun was already tearful when he turned around, and threw himself into Duan Rou's arms, "Sister, Brother Mo has moved away, I will never see him again."

Duan Rou and Zhao Xuelan comforted Duan Yun, "Xiao Yun, you should wake up, what doesn't belong to you will never be yours, wake up."

Duan Yun was crying all the time. She said that she knew that Mo Ran had a woman she liked, so she didn't expect to be together again, but she didn't want to be friends.

She also said that it was the first time she had feelings for a man when she grew up, and she just wanted to take good care of this feeling, and didn't want to disturb anyone in the past.

Duan Yun's cheeks and nose were flushed from crying, and Duan Rou wiped her tears.

Duan Yun's mood also gradually stabilized. Looking at the things in his hand, although he felt wronged, he still recognized it.

"I'm hungry again." Duan Yun said suddenly.

That's right, the atmosphere in the Duan family just now was too much for anyone to eat, and it was rare for the mother and daughter to get together.

"Mom invited you two to eat, it's not too far from here." Zhao Xuelan hugged her two daughters.

Duan Yun put the gift in the bag, pulled Zhao Xuelan and Duan Rou to leave together, and looked back with some reluctance.
