Seeing that Duan Lao was also standing behind the gate, Prince Duan, who was the first to get out of the car, was startled.

In his impression, the person who was able to let Duan Lao personally greet him seemed to have only been three times in the past ten years.

But who are the people who came to visit Elder Duan in the villa three times?

The status of those people is not said to be in China, and even in the world, they also have a decisive influence.

Who is Li Nannan?

He's just a kung fu guy who can do okay, and he can survive to this day mainly by luck, and he's just a scumbag who is keen to wander among women all day long.

The reason why the Duan family turned around and handed it over was nothing more than to see that there was a gray force standing behind him, which would help the Duan family rise and power to the north.

But he was taken home by Duan Xiangning this time, and Prince Duan, the third-generation head of the Duan family, went to Qingshan to pick him up in person, which was already very face-saving, what virtue could he have, let Duan Lao personally stand at the door to greet him?

And it was midnight.

"Grandpa, why did you come out?"

Prince Duan, who was slightly stunned, hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the old man, with panic in his tone.

He was a little panicked because he felt that he had already looked up to Li Nannan as much as possible.

But Duan Lao's attitude still made him immediately realize that his attitude towards Li Nannan was not high enough, which was definitely a big mistake for him.

"Hehe, it's okay."

Duan Lao looked at the car in the middle, and said seemingly casually, "I'm old." As people get older, their sleep time will be greatly reduced. It's not that I can't sleep, but I know very well that if I look at the world more, I will earn one more time. ”

"Grandpa! You—how can you say that? You're going to live a long life. ”

After hearing Duan Lao say this, Prince Duan was even more frightened in his heart, and his voice began to tremble.

He finally understood why his grandfather disregarded his identity and personally greeted Li Nannan.

Because grandpa is old.

The older the person, the more valuable face is.

Duan Lao personally greeted him, not for Li Nannan, but for the gray forces standing behind Li Nannan.

If Duan Lao is younger, even if he is ten years old, he will not give face to anyone.

According to the tragic contributions made by the Duan clan in Dali in the national war of the last century, few people in the world can be qualified to be given face by Duan Lao.

Now he is giving face to the gray forces behind Li Nannan because he clearly feels that he is old - his time in the world is numbered.

If the Duan family in Dali is full of talents, of course Duan Lao will not worry about what is behind him.

But the Duan family, there is no one.

Although there are three men in the second generation of the Duan family, except for the second generation of Duan, who can barely take the table, the other two brothers are wooden and stingy, and they are all mud that can't support the wall.

The only thing that can make Duan Lao happy is that fortunately, after he found out that there was a mistake in the education method, he was able to correct it in time and personally teach Prince Duan carefully, so that he could be regarded as cultivating a qualified new generation of Duan family masters.

However, Prince Duan is just one person.

No one can support the top wealthy families in China on their own.

Prince Duan couldn't either.

People often say that a good man needs three more to help.

Duan Lao was worried that once he drove the crane west, Prince Duan would not be able to support it alone, and the forces surrounding the Duan family would inevitably be torn apart.

Slowly, the Duan family will fall from the queue of top giants, and thus become a second-rate or even third-rate giant.

That's what Elder Duan doesn't want to see.

He believed in the ancestors who died on the battlefield of the national war, and he did not want to see it.

If Elder Duan did not plan for his descendants for at least ten years before he died, then he would have no shame to face his ancestors and ancestors after his death.

That's why Duan Lao will take the initiative to welcome Li Nanfang tonight.

He believed that according to his identity and status, after making such a gesture, not only would the gray forces behind Li Nannan be shocked, but even the man was abducted by the women of the Duan family, and Yue Zitong, who was gritting his teeth in the north at this time to do something to the Duan family, Hua Yeshen, would also maintain the silence he deserved and temporarily stop.

It's just temporary.

Those two women are by no means the kind of people who are willing to stop after a man is abducted.

Duan Lao knew very well in his heart.

But to be clear, so what?

That's all he can do now.

As for how far the Duan family can go after he returns to the west, it depends on Prince Duan's ability.

It was from the three words "I'm old" that Prince Duan heard these meanings, and then he felt that the burden on his shoulders was suddenly heavy.

Never too heavy.

The truth is even more cruel than he imagined.

His mouth moved, and he closed it again.

With a sour nose, he quickly lowered his head.

In an instant, he suddenly regretted it incomparably.

is for what he once said to Shen Yunzai: "I don't love the country, I love the beauty." ”

Before this moment, love was far higher than career in his mind.

In order to be able to be with the girl he loves, he would rather not be the head of the Duan family.

In the past, whenever he had this thought, he would still have an indescribable sense of pride.

Now it seems that that indescribable pride is not for other reasons, but that he has been defined in the deepest part of his heart, stupid.

Stupid pride.

Grandpa poured all his efforts into cultivating him in the second half of his life, and was pleased that he had grown up "strong".

Once Duan Lao learned that Prince Duan, who had entrusted him with all his efforts, had always held the idea of "for Shen Yunzai to be able to lose everything, even if he wanders the world with her, he will be happy", what would be his reaction?

Die.

It can only be sudden death.

Duan Lao's body is already very thin, and he needs someone to help him when he walks.

What is the last year of the wind candle?

It is a candle that burns in the wind, and when the wind is a little stronger, it may be extinguished.

And the prince Duan, whom he cultivated with all his heart, is an infatuated seed who doesn't love the country and loves the beauty - this is not only the wind, but also a hurricane, how can the candle resist it?

"How can I live up to my grandfather's expectations of me, and I want to leave everything behind and go to the end of the world with Shen Yun? No. I don't want to do that. I am the future head of the Duan family. Whether the Duan family can be as brilliant as the ancestors depends on me doing my best. I must not bury the Dali Duan clan because of my children's personal feelings. ”

Duan Chu Huang took a deep breath and slowly raised his head, only to find that Duan Lao was looking at him.

The corners of Duan Lao's mouth hooked up a smile of relief.

With his left hand, which was full of age spots, he gently patted the back of his hand.

"Grandpa—"

The pupils of Prince Duan's eyes suddenly shrank, and he exclaimed.

He understood.

Grandpa has long known about his relationship with Shen Yunzai, and it is likely that he already knows that he is going to "not love the country and love the beauty".

But Duan Lao always pretended not to know.

This is a wise old man.

He knew very well that once he intervened in this matter, with the head of the family, the future of the Duan family, etc., to force Prince Duan to leave Shen Yunzai, it would inevitably make this matter known to everyone in the family - in that case, Prince Duan might be able to drill the horns of the bull, adhere to his wrong ideas, immediately throw away everything at present, and go to the end of the world with Shen Yun.

Duan Lao didn't want to see half of his life's hard work, so it went to waste.

He had to wait.

and other best opportunities.

Wait for the prince to realize himself.

Now, Duan Lao finally waited for the best opportunity, waiting for Prince Duan's epiphany.

The heart that Duan Lao had always carried could finally be put down.

Even if he dies now, he will smile at Jiuquan.

After the two grandfathers and grandsons looked at each other for a few seconds, the guilt and other expressions in Prince Duan's eyes were quickly replaced by perseverance, and he said softly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your hopes." Do my best to be like you. ”

Duan Lao didn't say anything, just patted the back of Hope's hand again and looked at the second car.

Duan Xiangning had already gotten out of the car, standing in front of the car door, staring blankly.

Compared with Prince Duan, seeing Duan Xiangning, who was greeted by his grandfather in person, was even more shocked.

She never dreamed that one day, her grandfather would actually go out to welcome her home.

Although she also knew very well that her grandfather made such a high posture for Li Nannan and for the gray forces behind him that were beneficial to the Duan family.

But she is indeed the person concerned.

A light cough came from behind: "Ahem, so many people." ”

Li Nannan also got out of the car.

Li scumbag's feelings about the Duan family's discharge of such a big scene to welcome him, a son-in-law, home, of course will not be as shocking as Prince Duan's brothers and sisters.

At most, he just felt it was too grand.

Since everyone is a family, why be so polite?

He is not a royal nobleman, is it necessary for an old man of such age to welcome his arrival in the middle of the night?

"Come, I'll take you to Grandpa."

Duan Xiangning was awakened by his light cough, took his hand, whispered, and walked quickly to the door of the villa.

"Grandpa, why did you come out?"

Duan Xiangning walked in front of Duan Lao, let go of Li Nannan, and bowed down to salute, feeling apprehensive in his heart.

Without anyone to teach, Li Nannan also bent down and saluted Duan Lao like Duan Xiangning.

"The Duan family's grandson-in-law came to the door for the first time, of course I have to make some gestures. Hehe, Ye Shen, are you still tired along the way? ”

Duan Lao smiled at his granddaughter and looked at Li Nannan.

When Li Nannan came, everyone would call him Ye Shen.

This was ordered by Elder Duan himself.

The people of the Duan family don't have any meaning to this.

Whether Li Nanfang is called Li Nanfang or Ye Shen doesn't mean much to them.

There are even people who feel that Hugh said that Li Nannan is a person—even if he is a cat or a dog, as long as he can be useful and worthy of the old man's visit in the middle of the night, he should be given enough respect.

"It's okay, it's not too tired, I'm in better shape."

Li Nannan replied respectfully, his tone was full of respect, and when Elder Duan called him Ye Shen, he didn't have any opinions.

Respecting the old and loving the young was taught to him by his wife since he was a child.

Even though he has now forgotten who his wife is, he has not forgotten this.

It had become his instinct.

As for his words that he is not too tired and has better physical fitness, he is not pretending, but telling the truth.

Duan Lao was very satisfied with Li Nannan's attitude, grabbed his arm with his own hand, and said with a smile: "Go, go home." ”

Surrounded by everyone, Li Nannan and Duan Xiangning walked into the door of the villa with Duan Lao on their arms.

When other new daughters-in-law return to their parents' homes, they are treated no differently.

However, there is no doubt that Duan Lao's attitude was still taken aback by everyone, including Chen Shounan, and when he looked at Li Nannan again, his eyes were much more solemn than at that moment.

In the distance in the direction of the city, there are many small bright spots speeding towards this side.

Everybody saw it.

also vaguely guessed that those cars were likely to come to Duanjia Villa.

Including Duan Lao.

But no one said it, as if they hadn't seen it, everyone threw themselves into the "joy" of welcoming their son-in-law to the door.

Except for Duan Xiang.

When Li Nannan just got out of the car, Duan Xiang saw him at a glance.

The eyes, incomparably vicious, are like a poisonous snake hidden in the dark.
