Chapter 1642: Dinner at the Mansion

Chapter 1741 Dinner at the mansion

Duan Shuxian walked out of the parking lot with her bag and walked past some female students who were discussing. From time to time, she could hear the voice of the young professor, as if he had immediately become a big celebrity in the school.

Duan Shuxian came to her father's car. Before her father came over, she squatted under the flowers nearby and read the news for a while.

After a while, Duan Deming came over from not far away. His eyes saw the girl squatting under the flowers. There was a smile in his eyes, which was his father's love for his daughter.

"Shu Xian, get in the car!"

"Dad." Duan Shuxian immediately stood up, opened the door of the passenger seat, sat in, and asked, "Mom, are you going back?"

"Your mother is waiting in the store, we will pick her up."

"Yeah!" Duan Shuxian likes to be with her parents the most. No matter what she does, the whole family has been together since childhood.

Since she only had one child, Duan Deming and his wife gave her all their love.

Duan Deming's car drove towards his wife's flower shop. Duan Shuxian looked at the scenery outside the window and suddenly thought of the new professor. She thought about it and couldn't help asking her father, "Dad, it seems like school today." There is a new young professor here, and the students in the whole school are talking about him! Do you know who he is?"

Of course Duan Deming knew about this new professor, but when he saw his daughter asking curious questions, he couldn't help but look a little stunned, "What? Are you also interested in him?"

Duan Shuxian could tell that her father was making fun of her, and she immediately said with some embarrassment, "Dad, where are you thinking? It's not that I'm interested in him, but he saved me once today. Without him, I would have fallen into the trap." The hospital."

Duan Deming couldn't help but turned to look at her in fright, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"When I was sorting the bookshelves in the morning, I accidentally stepped on the ladder. Fortunately, the young professor was right next to me and he caught me. However, he scratched his wrist, and I couldn't get over it. "Duan Shuxian had no choice but to confess honestly.

Duan Deming was surprised, "Then there's nothing wrong with you!"

"Nothing happened to me."

"Be careful next time and have someone help you. You don't have to take everything on yourself." Duan Deming knew that his daughter was warm-hearted. Sometimes he regretted it. He had taught his daughter to be generous and generous since she was a child. Now that I have just started working, I am definitely at a disadvantage.

"Dad, I'm fine, don't worry!" Duan Shuxian pursed her lips and smiled, but did not forget to ask again, "Dad, what is the background of the new professor! He became a professor at such a young age, it is amazing!"

"I don't have any background. I probably just came back from abroad to teach." Duan Deming was not surprised.

"Oh!" Duan Shuxian blinked.

At this time, we arrived at the door of the flower shop, and saw a woman in a plain dress holding two bouquets of flowers. She sat in the back seat and said with a smile, "I asked my sister-in-law just now, and she said she wanted me to bring two bouquets of flowers." Send flowers."

"Sister-in-law likes lilies the most, so I picked a few bunches of the freshest ones."

"Xiaoyu, you are thoughtful." Duan Deming praised his wife.

"It's rare to go there for a meal, so of course you can't go there empty-handed." Li Yu said with a smile.

"Uncle, they should all be at home!" Duan Shuxian asked.

"Of course they are all here, what's wrong?"

"Nothing! I just haven't seen my cousin for a while." Duan Shuxian smiled.

Duan Deming and his wife in the back seat looked at each other, feeling a twinge of guilt in their hearts. They were both worried that their daughter would develop a sense of inferiority if she went to the mansion.

She is also a descendant of the Duan family, and the gap between her and her dazzling cousins ​​in every aspect is more than just a little bit.

As parents, they can no longer create a better family situation for her, so they hope that their daughter will not become a person who strives for fame and fortune. This will make her life very tiring and hard.

Even if she can't stand out among her family peers, the couple's idea is to cultivate her to have an ordinary heart and live a stable and down-to-earth life.

But every time they return to the mansion, they are worried that their daughter's status in the Duan family will make her feel inferior.

Duan Zhai.

It has a very grand courtyard. In the direction of the city center, even if high-rise buildings rise in all directions, no one dares to touch this area, which retains the Feng Shui position of the Duan family ancestors. Mr. Duan didn't like high-rise buildings, so he built a large Chinese-style villa here for him and his eldest son and his family to live.

The car drove into the yard, Duan Shuxian opened the back seat, took a bouquet of flowers for her mother and held it in her arms, and the family of three walked towards the brightly lit hall.

Walking in the courtyard of Duan's house, you feel the grandeur and majesty coming towards you. The well-proportioned gardens and waterside pavilions all around represent not only wealth, but also a kind of accumulated family momentum.

When Duan Shuxian was at the door, she exhaled slightly. Every time she came to the mansion, she would feel a lot of pressure. Even though her grandfather liked her, and her uncle and aunt were gentle to her, among her peers, she It's really very inconspicuous.

Even in other branches of the Duan family, there are many people of the same generation who have achieved considerable achievements.

"Brother, sister-in-law." Duan Deming and his wife walked in and called to the couple on the sofa.

"Hey! Deming and Xiaoyu are here, come in." A well-dressed lady stood up, came over to take the flowers from Li Yu's hand, and immediately laughed when she saw Duan Shuxian behind her, "Shu Xian is here, come in." !”

"Uncle, aunt, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Yes! I haven't seen you for a while, so I thought of inviting you to come over for a meal and a family reunion." Mrs. Duan Song Meilan said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, Shuxian, please sit down for a while, Deming, come, go and learn." Duan Deliang stood up and said to his brother. They usually play chess to pass the time.

"Okay! Brother, I won't lose to you this time." Duan Deming smiled and responded, and went to the study.

"Brother and sister haven't come back yet?" Duan Shuxian asked curiously.

"They are on the way and will be back soon." Song Meilan said while inviting them to drink tea.

Mr. Duan likes to watch dramas and listen to music upstairs at this time, and Duan Shuxian didn't disturb him.

But ten minutes later, the sound of a car was heard in the yard. After a while, a tall, neat and slender figure stepped in. It was Duan Shumin who had returned. She had long hair tied behind her head, wearing a high-end handmade custom suit, and carrying a limited edition brand-name bag in her hand, exuding the aura of a successful woman.

"Sister Min." Duan Shuxian greeted her.

Duan Shumin nodded and smiled at her, "Xiaoxian is here too."

"Minmin, go change your clothes and come down." Song Meilan said to her daughter. Although this work suit was very handsome, it was still too formal to be with her family. "Well! I'll go back to my room to deal with the work first, and come down before dinner." After saying that, Duan Min went upstairs with her bag.

Duan Shuxian looked at her figure with admiration. She didn't mean to be jealous of her cousin. She only envied her from the bottom of her heart. When her cousin was studying, she was a top student. After working for a few years, she was promoted continuously in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This year, I heard that she was promoted to the top position, and she was just 26 years old.

After a while, the car sounded outside the yard again. Soon, a handsome and tall figure walked in with steady steps. It was the eldest son of the Duan family, Duan Siye. He controlled several monopoly industries and was also a great figure in the business world.

"Brother." Duan Shuxian hurriedly called again.

"Xiaoxian." Duan Siye smiled at her. At the age of 30, he exuded the charm of a mature man. He was restrained and not ostentatious, but gave people a domineering aura that could not be underestimated.

"Brother, are you busy recently?"

"Yes, I heard from my uncle that you work in his school. How is your work?"

"Yes, it's been a while." Duan Shuxian laughed.

"If you need any help, feel free to find me. If you want to change your job, you can also find me." Duan Siye said gently. He really wanted to help his uncle's family.

"Thank you, brother. I will find you if I need you." Duan Shuxian said gratefully.

The dinner was very rich. The table was almost full of rare delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and the ingredients were very expensive.

Grandpa Duan came down. He was in his early seventies, but still very healthy. The family sat at the table and ate dinner in harmony.

At the table, the old man also asked about Duan Shuxian's work. He heard that she was going to take the postgraduate entrance examination next year, so he asked her to work in the library so that she could spend more time reading books and preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination.
