Chapter 1664: Visiting the Ge Jun Mansion

Chapter 1763 Visiting the Lord’s Mansion

Duan Shuxian was reading information at the counter in the afternoon. The information her father gave her was really useful, and she couldn't stop reading it.

She was taking notes next to her and staring at the information carefully. She didn't notice anyone coming in at all. It wasn't until two books were placed next to her that she looked up at the person who returned the books.

She thought it was just a student, but unexpectedly, it was him.

Duan Shuxian was startled and quickly stood up and looked at him, "Teacher Xi, you are here."

"I heard you call Jiang Ning Boss Jiang before, but now you call him Jiang Ning, do you want to change my name too?" Xi Jingchen's eyes stared at her, as if there was a trace of jealousy flickering in his eyes.

Duan Shuxian couldn't help but feel a little funny, "Then let's call you Professor Xi!"

In short, Duan Shuxian will not call him by his name because his identity target is too big.

Xi Jingchen's eyes narrowed, "Return the book!"

After saying that, he went inside to borrow books. Duan Shuxian took the books he wanted to return, feeling a little helpless.

She was waiting for him to borrow the books and read the information, and then became a little absent-minded. At this moment, Aunt Huang came over with some newly arrived books.

"Xiao Duan! Can you change a class for me on Saturday? I want to play cards in the afternoon." Aunt Huang asked her.

If Duan Shuxian hadn't asked Jiang Ning to watch a movie, she might have agreed.

"Sorry Aunt Huang, I happen to have something to do on Saturday afternoon." Duan Shuxian had no choice but to refuse.

"What's going on!" Aunt Huang asked curiously.

Duan Shuxian had no choice but to say, "Boss Jiang and I made an appointment for a movie. I just booked the tickets and I really can't change my shift."

When Aunt Huang heard this, she immediately said happily, "It's okay, it's okay. Since you young people are going on a date, then go on a date! I'll ask my good sister to play cards next time."

"We're either going on a date or watching a movie!" Duan Shuxian couldn't help but want to explain.

"Oh! You are a young man! Why are you embarrassed? Let's get to know each other better. Maybe we can make a couple. I'm optimistic about you two."

Duan Shuxian didn't explain, she just wanted to repay Jiang Ning's kindness to her during this period by watching the movie.

"What movie! Can I add one more person?" came a voice from the side suddenly.

It's Xi Jingchen.

Duan Shuxian couldn't help but be startled. It was not his voice that scared her, but his words.

"Teacher Xi, do you want to come with us?" Duan Shuxian asked nervously, who is he? How can he go to a crowded place like a movie theater?

"What? Did I disturb your date?" Xi Jingchen stared over with a quiet gaze.

Duan Shuxian was embarrassed, did he even misunderstand it?

"Teacher Xi, I'm sorry, I only booked two tickets." Duan Shuxian had to use this reason to refuse him.

It's not that we don't want him to come with us, it's that his identity is too dazzling and places like movie theaters are not suitable for him.

Xi Jingchen handed the book to her and said lightly with thin lips, "Okay, I won't disturb you."

Duan Shuxian could tell that he seemed a little resentful, so she apologized, "I'm sorry."

Xi Jingchen was startled. Hearing her apology, he frowned and said, "You don't need to apologize. Also, if you want to come and listen to my class, you can go directly into the classroom without eavesdropping."

Duan Shuxian's pretty face turned red for a few seconds, and she explained in embarrassment, "I was just passing by and didn't eavesdrop."

Xi Jingchen bit his thin lips, took the book she handed and turned to leave. Duan Shuxian watched him with a look of admiration in her eyes.

Saturday arrived in a blink of an eye.

In the early morning, Duan Zhai, Song Meilan got up early, and was a little too excited to sleep, because she was taking her daughter to the Gejun Mansion as a guest today, and she couldn't neglect it.

She knocked on her daughter's door, and Duan Shumin opened the door. She had just taken a bath and wiped her long hair.

"Mom, are we leaving?" Duan Shumin couldn't hide the anticipation in her eyes.

"It's still early. Mom will come over to see you. Get dressed up quickly. Put on the dress I brought you last night! Just wear that one."

"Okay, I'll be out in a moment." Duan Shumin also wanted to put on makeup and get ready.

She didn't want to miss the opportunity to meet Xi Jingchen today, because she fell in love with him before he knew her.

She entered this field, worked so hard and was promoted, and a large part of it was because of him. She wanted to be closer to him.

That day when she met him in the garden of Gejun Mansion, he was the motivation and goal of her efforts.

But now, it finally paid off, she was noticed, and with her family background, she had a better chance than other girls to get close to the future His Excellency. Duan Shumin sat in front of the dressing table. She put on a light makeup. She believed that the royal nobles would not like girls who were too showy. Putting on the elegant dress sent by her mother, Duan Shumin changed from a capable strong woman to a very charming one. girl

, she is only twenty-six years old, exuding a mature atmosphere between a girl and a woman.

She stood in front of Song Meilan. Song Meilan immediately looked at her daughter in amazement and stepped forward to straighten her clothes. She nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, my daughter is beautiful!"

Duan Shumin combed her long hair and raised a confident smile on her lips. Father Duan also nodded, "Shu Min, when you go to the Lord's Mansion, you have to perform well and bring some glory to our family."

"Dad, don't worry! I will do it."

Mr. Duan also attached great importance to this matter. He sat on the Grand Master's chair and said in a hopeful tone, "Now, apart from Si Ye, you are the most promising person in our family. Don't let us down."

"Grandpa, don't worry! I will fight for the family." Duan Shumin looked at grandpa and replied.

"Although there is Shu Xian's child, that child is quiet." In Song Meilan's heart, she still felt that her daughter was much more outstanding, and the only one who could bring honor to the Duan family was her daughter.

Mr. Duan naturally has no hope for his other granddaughter. He only hopes that she will be like her parents, marry a good man and live a peaceful life.

Around nine o'clock, Song Meilan and her daughter got into the Duan family's private car and set off, heading straight for Gejun's Mansion.

In the Lord's Mansion, Chu Yue also gave special instructions to the kitchen today to entertain guests well if they came over.

Chu Yue came from the kitchen and went to a master bedroom on the sixth floor of Gejun Mansion. She reached out and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Xi Jingchen's voice came from inside.

Chu Yue pushed the door open and heard the sound of her son exercising on the treadmill next to the master bedroom. At this moment, Xi Jingchen stopped running, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, and walked towards his mother.

"Mom, is something wrong?" He took a sip of water.

Chu Yue sat on the sofa nearby and said, "Jingchen, mom has invited two guests to have lunch at home today. They are almost here. Come down and meet them later."

Xi Jingchen thought of his sister's words, and he guessed who was coming. He must be the future wife carefully selected by his mother.

"Mom, what kind of guest?" Xi Jingchen pretended not to know. "It's an excellent girl and her mother. Jingchen, what your father and I mean is that you'd better get married first and then start a career. That way, after you inherit the position of Lord, you will be able to govern the country without any distractions." Chu Yue Also for the sake of her son, she

He was also worried about his son's succession.

Xi Jingchen didn't blame his parents for arranging him like this. They were all doing it for his own good. He nodded, "Okay, I'll be down in a moment."

"Okay, don't keep the guest waiting for too long." Chu Yue stepped forward and patted him, "Come down quickly." As soon as Chu Yue went downstairs, she heard the housekeeper coming to report that the Duan family's mother and daughter had arrived, and Chu Yue immediately greeted him out the door. Outside, I saw a mother and daughter walking in from the corridor. Mrs. Duan had seen her before, and standing next to her, the tall and beautiful girl

, is the future daughter-in-law candidate that Chu Yue is very satisfied with.

She checked Duan Shumin's upbringing and her performance in the past few years. If her son marries her, she will be able to help a lot after he succeeds to the throne.

Song Meilan immediately stepped forward respectfully, "Hello husband, hello! It's an honor to meet you."

"Don't tell me, I've missed you too since we last met at the banquet." Chu Yue said with a smile. "Shu Min has met Madam." Duan Shumin greeted politely. She looked at the gentle Madam in front of her. There was a compelling aura about her, which was the majesty of the mother of a country. Although she is about the same age as her mother, she looks younger

, there is even a kind of beauty and style that cannot be seen from the age. Chu Yue looked at Duan Shumin and smiled with satisfaction, "Hello, Miss Duan!" After saying that, she invited the mother and daughter in for tea.
