Chapter 1707 Brother and Sister Talk
Chapter 1806 Brother-sister Conversation
Duan Shuxian breathed a sigh of relief, she turned around and went in another direction.
Duan Shumin was stunned in place, she began to think about one thing, from childhood to adulthood, she had never seriously understood this cousin.
She just thought that she was inferior to her in everything. Now think about it, Duan Shuxian does have advantages that she does not have, that is, she gives people a warm feeling.
She thinks that her personality is cold and she can't be humble and polite to others. Unless she is related to her interests, otherwise, she has lost patience and time for ordinary people.
Sometimes, she would think, why should she spend time on people and things that are meaningless to her?
Now think about it, this is where she is not as good as Duan Shuxian. She has no hierarchy in her heart, and emphasizes equality for everyone and fair treatment of people of any level of identity.
Duan Shumin turned around, the museum in the evening stretched her figure, she bit her lip, and welcomed her fate that she had to accept.
Duan Shumin returned home. Song Meilan had been worried all day. When she saw her daughter coming back, she immediately went forward to comfort her, "Minmin, are you okay?"
"Mom, I'm tired." Duan Shumin shook her head. She wanted to lie down for a while.
Song Meilan immediately followed her back to the room. Duan Shumin lay down, and she said, "Minmin, I asked someone to inquire again today. It seems that Duan Shuxian has not had a chance to meet. Maybe the lady also thinks that she is not worthy of her son, so don't worry, you still have a chance."
Duan Shumin closed her eyes. She knew better than her mother whether there was a chance or not.
"Your father's position is also favored by the lady. She will definitely find a woman who can help her son more as a daughter-in-law. What do you think Duan Shuxian can do? She has not read as many books as you, and her achievements are not as good as yours! She has nothing as good as you."
At this moment, Song Meilan only wanted to step on Duan Shuxian to make her daughter happy.
Duan Shumin looked sideways at her mother, and she shook her head, "No! We don't know our cousin, maybe she has some advantages."
Song Meilan was stunned. Why would her daughter speak for Duan Shuxian?
"Well! Even if she has, it's just a small advantage. She looks like a person with no personality, doesn't fight or compete, but doesn't have any big ambitions, and is petty." Song Meilan didn't see any good in Duan Shuxian in her eyes.
"Mom, is my brother back? I want to talk to him." Duan Shumin felt very complicated at the moment.
"In the study, I talked to him about this matter, but he didn't express any opinions at all, and told me not to care so much." Song Meilan was angry when she talked about her son, who didn't help her a little and didn't think about things from her perspective.
Duan Shumin sat up, she pushed the door open, and said to Song Meilan, "Mom, let me talk to my brother!"
Song Meilan went to prepare dinner, and Duan Shumin knocked on Duan Siye's study, and his voice came from inside.
"Come in!"
Duan Shumin pushed open the door and looked at her elder brother sitting at the desk. Duan Siye was wearing a dark suit and exuded the aura of a successful businessman. As the executor of several large monopoly industries, he was only 30 years old, but he had a very mature and steady style of doing things.
"Brother! Do you have time? Let's chat." Duan Shumin asked him.
"Yes, come over!" Duan Siye nodded and invited her in.
Duan Shumin sat on the sofa. She sighed, but did not ask questions. Duan Siye clasped his hands in front of his chest. Looking at this excellent sister since childhood, he felt a little distressed.
"Mom told me about Shuxian and Master Xi. You should also be more open-minded. This kind of thing cannot be forced."
"Brother, have you ever liked someone? The kind of love." Duan Shumin looked up and asked seriously.
Duan Siye thought about it and felt a little regretful that he could not empathize with his sister.
"I don't have a woman I like very much at the moment." Duan Siye told the truth.
Duan Shumin couldn't help but sigh, "If there is a girl that you, big brother, like, she should be very lucky!"
Duan Siye smiled, "I have endless work and endless information to read all day long, how can I have time to talk about love?"
Duan Shumin's eyes showed a trace of pain, "I am really jealous! Very jealous, even want to go crazy."
Duan Siye looked at her with some concern, and said, "Minmin, in this world, everything can be forced, but not love. Master Xi has his own choice."
"But why her? If he marries someone else, then I don't have to see him. But if he marries Duan Shuxian, he will definitely appear in the Duan family in the future. I can't accept it. After all, I have been secretly in love with him for two years." Duan Shumin was extremely painful.
"Since this is the case, what you can do is to change yourself. You can leave the country and work abroad. In this way, you will have fewer chances to meet him in this life."
Duan Shumin certainly thought about this, but she was still in pain.
"I will consider doing this if he really becomes my cousin's husband." Duan Shumin nodded.
Duan Siye couldn't help but worry about another thing, "Mom has too high expectations of you, so her mood is very unstable now. Don't use this matter to stimulate her anymore, just let her calm down!"
"I know Mom is more anxious about this matter than I am. She really hopes that I will do it and make her proud. Mom has always been strong-willed. She has always felt superior in front of my aunt. Now, I have disappointed her, and she feels very disappointed."
"This is not good for her health! As children, we need to guide her more." Duan Siye advised his sister.
Duan Shumin bit her lip, "Brother, tell me the truth. As a man, which woman would you marry, Shuxian or me?"
Duan Siye narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and quickly said, "Although you are excellent in all aspects, as a man's wife, most people would choose Shuxian."
Duan Shumin was stunned. Hearing her brother's words, she couldn't help but laugh at herself, "Why?"
"Because what men need is not how strong his woman is. They are born with the instinct to protect the weak and they also desire warmth, because the world that men need to face is the world of the strong. Therefore, returning home and having a warm woman to accompany him is the best place for men to rest." Duan Siye expressed his opinion.
Duan Shumin suddenly thought of the scene where Duan Shuxian comforted the little girl today. He had to admit that Duan Shuxian had a warm temperament.
"Is this why he chose Shuxian? He needs a weak person."
"No, Shuxian is not weak. In this matter, Shuxian showed her courage. Shuxian is a girl who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. I like her personality very much." Duan Siye really doted on Duan Shuxian since she was a child.
The conversation between Duan Shumin and her elder brother made her understand some things. She stood up and said, "You are right. I will consider living abroad."
"Minmin, don't worry. You will meet your happiness." Duan Siye comforted.
"Brother, then you have to think about it too." Duan Shumin said, and she turned and went out.
Duan Shuxian was very busy at work. When she was driving through a street, she happened to see a plane taking off in the air. She looked up and couldn't help missing Xi Jingchen.
A week without seeing each other, once the gap of missing was broken, it was like a flood that could not be stopped.
While waiting for the traffic light, she reached out and touched the necklace on her neck. When she missed him, just touching it seemed to relieve her longing.
Three days later, Duan Shumin proposed to her family that she wanted to go abroad to work permanently. Grandpa Duan disagreed, and Song Meilan didn't want her daughter to leave her side, so she refused to let her go.
Duan Shumin was determined to leave, and Duan Deliang let her choose by herself. No matter where she was, as long as she worked for the country wholeheartedly, he would be very pleased.
Grandpa Duan was also thinking a lot these days. He also felt guilty. He didn't care enough about Duan Shuxian since he was a child. Now, even if he was proud, he was guilty.
Song Meilan was in a bad mood that night. She was complaining about a headache and didn't want Duan Shumin to leave. Duan Shumin's job was transferred very quickly and she had been approved to work abroad.
"I'm worried about you going abroad. What will you do alone? No one will take care of you to eat and drink." Song Meilan loved this daughter the most, and she couldn't bear to let her go.
"Mom, I will take care of myself!" Duan Shumin comforted.
Duan Siye was also beside her, "Mom, I will come home often to accompany you."
Song Meilan turned her head and said, "You have to find me a daughter-in-law as soon as possible."
Duan Siye frowned and nodded, "Okay, I'll try my best to find one."
