The atmosphere at the dinner table became particularly heavy because of Aunt Duan's words.

also completely put the patriarchal high hat on the heads of Duan Yugang and even the Duan family.

And the most desperate thing is. The patriarchy of the Duan family is not fundamentally different from the patriarchy of ordinary families because of their vision.

Ordinary people prefer sons over daughters, believing that boys can bring higher value to the family. and even elevate the living environment of the family.

The Duan family's patriarchal preference is the same.

No matter how talented and capable Aunt Duan is, she is a woman after all.

Women have no chance to reach the top in politics.

The general environment forced the Duan family to give up on her, and even regarded her as a bargaining chip and reached a consensus with the Huo family. became a victim.

Over the years. She left Yanjing City and set up her own door in the northwest. lived a lonely life. Now, she is back in Yanjing City. Is it really just a sudden figure?

Or does she feel that the opportunity has already arisen?

"Father, since you asked me. Then I'll just get to the point. Aunt Duan put down her wine glass and gently wiped her red lips. "At the beginning, I made way for Huo Tingdong. made the first half of his brilliant life. It also allowed the family to get the corresponding resources and benefits. Including the Huo family, they have also accumulated nearly ten years of heritage. This decade. I am in a corner and have never set foot in Yanjing City. It didn't disappoint you, and it didn't embarrass the Huo family, did it?"

Duan Yugang's eyes flashed. I don't know what my daughter wants to express.

"But now. Aunt Duan said nonchalantly. "Huo Tingdong has been abolished. He couldn't go back to his old ways. ”

"I'm coming back at this time. What will affect the reputation of the Duan family. Or will it make the Huo family embarrassed?" Aunt Duan said word by word. Or rather. You're going to reuse me. Do you make a deal with another one?"

Faced with her daughter's strong questioning. Duan Yugang fell silent.

In the past ten years, he does owe too much to his daughter.

Including his daughter's hatred to leave Yanjing City, it was basically caused by him.

In fact. The deal with the Huo family at the beginning. Except for the trading chips that can be seen by the two companies. There is also a hidden trading chip that the next generation does not know and does not understand.

That is, the Huo family will take out the resources at the bottom of the box to support Duan Yugang, who had just turned fifty, to enter the red wall. Become the old Duan in the mouth of others.

Pity. After nearly six years of struggle and hard work, he has always been so breathless. In another two years, it's time to take a back seat. Lost the last chance to fight.

For a figure of Duan Yugang's level. Only an old character is added to the end of the surname. It's a big shot. A career is complete. It can even extend a career.

It's a pity that his age doesn't allow him to continue fighting. In the future, at most, I will get a half-level higher treatment after retirement.

But all this means nothing to him.

"You're thinking too much. Duan Yugang's heart was gone a few years ago.

Now he only hopes to pull his son again. But as the daughter said. Duan Zhengying, who is not self-motivated, will basically just sit back and enjoy the success, and it is difficult to become a big tool.

The Duan family seems to be in his hands, and he is about to disappear.

Exhale turbidity.

Duan Yugang lit a cigarette. Drink a glass of liquor with a sad heart.

It's a pity that the eldest is a daughter, if it's a son. How nice would that be?

"What about you?" Aunt Duan looked at her mother.

Where is it like a daughter getting along with her parents and elders?

The strong sense of oppression exuded from his body, and even the parents felt inexplicably empty-hearted.

Duan Zhengying is even more unbearable.

The wrist and strength of my sister. It was vividly displayed long before entering the career. And left Yanjing City, located in the northwest corner. She is still shining and creating the name of female Zhuge .

The mouth is hard to the mouth.

For this resolute sister, he is still jealous from the bottom of his heart.

"What are you going to do. It's your business. Li Qiong said in a deep voice. "Ever since you ran away from home, I knew I couldn't control you. You don't have to report anything to me. ”

Aunt Duan smiled slightly, pursed her lips and said, "I decided to leave at the beginning, didn't you leave me either?"

Lin Qiong frowned and was silent.

She is strong at work. Even at home, it's always the same. Even Duan Yugang may not be able to suppress her.

can face this October pregnancy and give birth to a daughter.

Lin Qiong never ate her.

It seems that since she was fifteen or sixteen years old. What Lin Qiong said, she didn't pay much attention to it.

To this day, the mother and daughter are still on the tip of the needle.

"Raise your glass. "Aunt Duan seems to be going to disgust all the family members at this family dinner. to vent the anger of my heart.

"No matter what, we will get along well as a family in the future. I would also come over to visit my grandfather from time to time. Staying for a light meal won't bother you too much, right?" Aunt Duan drank it all. Slowly lowered his glass.

The Duan family didn't know how to speak.

For Duan's parents, and even for Duan Zhengying. The Duan family is indeed indebted to Aunt Duan.

At the moment, she was disgusted by a few words, and she had to endure it if she didn't want to.

Chu Yun as a bystander.

He was suddenly a little curious about what Aunt Duan had invited him to do.

Enjoy the inside scoop of this not-so-glamorous family?

If that's all there is, it's too much—

Ding dong.

is in Chu Yun's contemplation. The doorbell rang.

Duan Zhengying immediately got up and went to open the door.

Duan Yugang didn't know about this, but Duan Zhengying got his mother's entrustment in advance. He knows. It's the Huo family.

It's just that when Duan Yugang came to the gate and pushed the gate open. What caught my eye was the grandmother of the Huo family. and two retinues.

"Why are you here?"

Duan Zhengying asked in some surprise.

The grandmother of the Huo family entered the gate at the head, but she didn't say much.

It's clear that she's been in a bad mood lately. For the sake of Huo Tingdong and even the Huo family, he was already busy and exhausted.

The group entered the hall of the Duan family.

Duan Yugang and his wife, who are juniors, stood up to greet each other. Aunt Duan went her own way, and there was no sign of getting up.

Chu Yun was even more rude.

She buried herself in eating and drinking, and was very happy.

"Auntie. You shouldn't be framing me, are you?" Chu Yun glanced at Aunt Duan.

He didn't see with his own eyes what happened that night.

But I heard a lot of news afterwards.

Huo Tingdong was deposed by his aunt. The end is a tragedy.

And the Huo family's grandmother was also thunderous and angry at that time. threatened to destroy the Chu family.

This hatred and hatred are not shared, right?

Today, the Duan family, which is very unwelcoming to Chu Yun, is getting together.

Chu Yun didn't raise his head or get up to greet him, but it wasn't a big deal.

Purely because he didn't want the enemy to meet, he fought on the spot.

"I watched Auntie, I was so lively. You have to let me see your jokes, right?" Aunt Duan's lips curled slightly.

The attitude towards Chu Yun is simply like a spring breeze.

Where is the slightest bit of meanness and coldness towards family members?

Alas.

It is difficult for every family to recite scriptures.

Chu Yun took a bite of chicken legs. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the Huo family's grandmother coming straight to him.
