Hearing that the guard said that Duan Shouchuan was asking for an audience outside the courtyard, Duan Xin straightened his clothes and took Lu Hui out to welcome him.

"Patriarch, why are you here in person in such a cold day? If you have something to do, ask someone to send me a message, and I will go there right away! I was thinking of finishing my work before going to see you!" As soon as Duan Xin walked out of the gate of the courtyard, he saw Duan Shouchuan standing in front of the carriage. He hurriedly walked over respectfully while talking, with a look of fear and anxiety on his face.

You've said everything, what else can I say?Duan Shouchuan muttered to himself.

Duan Shouchuan was dissatisfied with Duan Xin in his heart, but he still pretended to be kind on the surface, patted Duan Xin on the back and smiled: "I heard that you are back, but I also know that you are a busy person. I just came to see you now, and I hope you don't think that I, the patriarch, don't care about you!" Duan Shouchuan said with a half-smile.

Duan Xin pretended not to hear the meaning of accusation in Duan Shouchuan's words, and showed an extremely moved expression: "The patriarch loves Duan Xin, and the world can learn from it. Duan Xin never dares to forget the great kindness and virtue of the patriarch."

Duan Xin spoke with sincerity, but Duan Shouchuan's face froze slightly, and then he smiled: "You are too serious, you are a family, what are you doing seeing outside like this?!"

It stands to reason that Duan Xin also wanted to call Duan Shouchuan "uncle" like Shen Yuzhen, but Duan Xin insisted on not changing the title, and even called himself a blood relationship with Duan Shouchuan. Morikawa's non-blood relatives are even closer.

Duan Shouchuan couldn't find a reason to refute, and his plan to close the relationship with Duan Xin as soon as possible also failed.

But fortunately, Shen Yuzhen was upbeat and soon became pregnant and gave Duan Xinsheng a cute and smart son, which made Duan Shouchuan feel relieved.

Duan Shouchuan has always been worried that Duan Xin is out of his control. With Duan Runxin, he doesn't believe that he will never come back!

Thinking of this, Duan Shouchuan suddenly pondered.

When Huaizhu City fell, in order to protect the Duan clan and his own property from being confiscated, he had no choice but to agree to that person's request, but he didn't know what that person would ask him to do?
"Patriarch?" Duan Xin said a few polite words, seeing that Duan Shouchuan seemed absent-minded, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows and shouted a few words.

Duan Shouchuan came back to his senses and saw Duan Xin looking at him inquisitively, his heart tightened, and he quickly covered it up with a smile: "I have long wanted to see what is so special about this courtyard, which makes you so happy to leave."

"I just want to be quiet!" Duan Xin raised his lips and led Duan Shouchuan into the courtyard.

Lu Hui smiled in the back, this clan head has never been begging for cheap from the master, and every time they meet, he still wants to use words to suppress him, he doesn't understand what he thinks?

If you sincerely hope that the master can help the Duan clan for a long time, wouldn't it be stronger to treat the master sincerely than to suppress the feeling with kindness?

Entering the hall of the outer courtyard, Duan Shouchuan looked around, and after looking around, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Duan Xin, how can people live in this simple courtyard?"

Duan Xin smiled nonchalantly: "Patriarch, I have something to do and stay here temporarily, as long as I need a bed and a quilt."

Duan Shouchuan paused, and asked, "Then when will your affairs be finished?"

"It's not certain yet."

"Can't things be done in the old house?" Duan Shouchuan asked tentatively.

"No!" Duan Xin responded respectfully but also simply.

Duan Xin didn't want to reveal what he was doing, and Duan Shouchuan didn't ask stupidly. He was about to ask about Duan Runxin, but Duan Xin asked about the clan affairs first.

Duan Xin is so sincere, Duan Shouchuan can only answer him one by one.

Although Duan Xin made great contributions to the clan, it was limited to money. He used to say he was busy, so he seldom asked about clan affairs. Today, he didn't know what was wrong, and he kept asking questions endlessly.

After asking about the clan affairs, Duan Xin asked about the poorer clan members in several clans, and suggested how to help them.

After saying this, Duan Xin chatted with Duan Shouchuan about the road from Huaizhu City to Los Angeles City.

Duan Shouchuan saw that Duan Xin hadn't mentioned the point for a long time, looked at the sky, and secretly became anxious.

"Duan Xin, it's not that you don't know that the road in the northeast is difficult for us. We have no power to change this matter, so let's not talk about it." Duan Shouchuan's tone was a little more impatient.

In fact, not only the road from Huaizhu City to Luocheng is difficult to walk, but also the roads in the entire Northeast are not easy to walk. It is snowing now, and the road is icy, but it is slippery. Once the snow melts, the road will be more than bumpy. , if the carriage walks from the road, the people on the carriage can be thrown off.

Seeing this, a triumphant smile flashed imperceptibly in Duan Xin's big eyes, and Lu Hui also looked at Duan Shouchuan speechlessly.

If you have something to say, you want to talk about it, and now the master is deliberately going off the topic, isn't it urgent?
Sometimes Lu Hui can't understand what Duan Shouchuan is thinking, the master has treated him with the utmost benevolence, but it seems that Duan Shouchuan is not reconciled every time he talks to the master without self-torture, and has to push himself into it every time. A dead end, and then he will secretly hate the master before he is willing to give up.

Duan Xin smiled, and followed Duan Shouchuan's words: "That's right, our money didn't come from the wind. It's not worth spending money on things that matter to me!"

Duan Xin knew that what he said would definitely make Duan Shouchuan think again, so he deliberately smiled at him after speaking to seek his approval.

Sure enough, Duan Shouchuan's face froze again when he heard this, but Duan Xin looked at him straight, even though his heart was vomiting to death, he could only nod stiffly and said: "Indeed, we don't usually take that road very often. , there is no need to spend that wronged money."

Duan Xin smiled in satisfaction, as long as the old man could understand that the money he sent to the clan throughout the year did not fall from the sky for nothing, nor did he owe them.

"Duan Xin, I heard that Xin'er has come to you?" Duan Shouchuan finally found a gap and hastily turned to the main topic, so as not to be distracted by this trick again.

"Yeah, the face is still injured, I don't know if it will be disfigured?!" Speaking of Duan Runxin, Duan Xin's face suddenly darkened, looking like he was going to kill someone.

"Disfigurement?!" Duan Shouchuan raised his voice abruptly, his expression changing again and again.

Leaving aside the fact that Xin'er is a genuinely annoying kid, even if he is a fool, his disfigurement will ruin his event!
At this moment, Duan Shouchuan really regretted not giving Duan Zhibiao a few slaps just now.

"It's not disfigured!" Duan Xin slapped the table angrily, his whole body radiated a chill, which shocked Duan Shouchuan who was beside him.

"Duan Xin, can I have a look at the child?"

Duan Shouchuan glanced at Duan Xin suspiciously, thinking that this cunning man has been ignoring Zhen Er's mother and son, is his behavior too abnormal today?
