Chapter 33: Confession
In the dead of night, Duan's mansion was not as peaceful as usual. Duan Yunfei could feel that he would be greeted by an unprecedentedly serious interrogation.
After all, the two little guys who used to go out with him every day were now kneeling at Duan Tianlan's feet, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
out of interest.
Seeing Duan Yunfei's disdainful eyes, the little guy was about to cry. You are the eldest young master, the son of Master Duan, of course you are not afraid of anything! We are just subordinates whose status is too low to be lower, and our personal freedom cannot be guaranteed, so you can forgive us for confessing you......
After all, it's not that they took the initiative to sue, if you want to blame, blame that Li Xueqing!
Duan Yunfei didn't continue to look at the two little guys, and he didn't blame them for this. After all, Duan Yunfei had already been mentally prepared, since he was doing it secretly, there would always be a day when the East Window incident happened.
Since he came back, he felt that the atmosphere in the house was not quite right.
And then when it was time to eat, Duan Tianlan and his wife, who never asked him where he was going on weekdays, asked him where he had gone these days and what he had learned. At that time, Duan Yunfei guessed that he could no longer continue to cover up the past vaguely.
"Fei'er, you tell your father the truth, what are you going to do these days when you go out early and return late these days." Duan Tianlan called Duan Yunfei in front of him, trying to make his tone as relaxed as possible.
After all, he knew his son's character, and if he wanted to, he would definitely say it, and if he didn't, he wouldn't open his mouth no matter how they asked.
When he was a child, they could still beat him and force him to speak, but of course, they all failed.
Now that Duan Yunfei is such a big person, it is really unseemly to fight with his hands. So Duan Tianlan wanted him to explain to them by himself, if he admitted his mistake sincerely, and said that he would not do it again in the future, they could not blame the past.
Duan Yunfei said lightly: "Didn't I tell my father and mother before?" Go out to practice and learn, accumulate experience, and contribute to the family's business. ”
"And where did you go to study?" Xie Linyu asked.
"Jade Pot Town."
Duan Tianlan and Xie Linyu glanced at each other, they both saw satisfied looks in each other's eyes, it seemed that their son still didn't plan to hide it from them.
But in the later question, Duan Yunfei used practical actions to tell them what it meant to be happy too early.
"Are you starting with a mother and daughter? Do you know how embarrassing it would be for neighbors, relatives and friends to know about this? Duan Tianlan became angry at the thought of this, and couldn't help but raise his voice.
Duan Yunfei glanced at his father lightly and said, "It's just helping." ”
"Help? Do you have anything to do with people, just help? I heard that you also took the initiative to admit that the woman's little wild seed that I don't know who I had with is your daughter? Are you ashamed? ”
Duan Yunfei's eyes were a little cold, "Li Xiaonuan is not a wild species. ”
"I don't care if she's not! Fortunately, I already know about this, and if I leave it alone, I may have to gossip behind my back! From tomorrow onwards, you are not allowed to go any further. Duan Tianlan concluded.
Duan Yunfei: "I'm going." "No superfluous explanations, no too fluctuating mood swings, just a faint statement that he was going.
Duan Tianlan was furious: "If you insist on going, don't recognize me as a father in the future!" Our Duan family doesn't have a son like you! ”
Duan Yunfei's tone was still light, "Whatever you want." ”
After finishing speaking, he got up and left, completely ignoring Duan Tianlan's warning.
Duan Tianlan was so angry that he leaned back on the chair and kept panting. He didn't expect that Duan Yunfei would have to go against him now that he was so old, he used to be with him when he was young, and it would be good to teach him a lesson, but now he has no way at all except to lose his temper.
It's as if the person who makes sense is Duan Yunfei, and the person who makes trouble is him.
As the master of the Duan family, how could he let his own son climb on Lao Tzu's head?
The more Duan Tianlan thought about it, the more angry he became, today was the second time he had been angry like this because of Duan Yunfei's matter, and Xie Linyu could only continue to give him relief. After all, Duan Tianlan is also old now, and he can't help such mood swings.
"Tell me, how did Fei'er become like this? Is it because we discipline badly? Duan Tianlan recalled the role he played in Duan Yunfei's upbringing, and couldn't think of a reason why things had become like this.
Xie Linyu said: "Master first dissipate his anger, Fei'er must be just confused for a while, I'll persuade him later, maybe it's good." Don't get angry and get some rest. ”
Duan Tianlan was still angry, Xie Linyu had no choice but to hand him over to the maid to serve first, and went to Duan Yunfei's room by himself.
"Fei'er, are you asleep? Can my mother come in? Xie Linyu knocked on Duan Yunfei's door.
Soon, Duan Yunfei's footsteps from far and near came from inside, and then the door was opened, and Duan Yunfei appeared at the door. "Come in, what's the matter with your son so late?"
Xie Linyu pulled Duan Yunfei to sit down at the table and said, "Your father was very angry with you today, do you know?" ”
Duan Yunfei's face changed slightly, "I know." ”
"Know why you didn't change it? You still want to be angry with him like that, do you know that your father can't help but toss like this when he is old? Can't we save us a snack just because of you, our son? Xie Linyu said bitterly.
Duan Yunfei knew that his disobedience to his father could be said to be unfilial, but he thought that what he had done was not a disgrace other than making his father and mother feel shameless. He just wanted to stay by Li Xueyan's side to accompany her, help her, and protect her.
After living in this boring town for so many years, life from childhood to adulthood has been smooth sailing, and naturally it is very boring. It's hard to come across something you really want to do, is it so hard to do it?
"If my mother came to persuade me to change my mind, please go back and have a good rest, it's not early." Duan Yunfei got up, obviously not wanting to say more.
Xie Linyu immediately grabbed his wrist and almost cried and said, "Can't you listen to your mother's persuasion this time?" What's so good about that woman, is it worth it that you don't even want your father and mother for her? ”
Duan Yunfei's footsteps paused.
Xie Linyu hurriedly continued: "Your father is just your son, you go and apologize to him, he will definitely not care about you, the property of the Duan family will not be yours in the future, so what kind of woman do you want?" Why bother with that shameless woman? What's more, you still have a marriage contract with the Qiao family. If the Qiao family knew about this matter, it would be even more troublesome at that time. ”
Duan Yunfei turned his head and said as if taking an oath: "I, as long as her." ”
Duan Yunfei lay on the bed all night and didn't fall asleep, the picture of being at home from childhood to adulthood flashed in front of his eyes, and later, only the fragment of being with Li Xueyan and Li Xiaonuan was left in his mind.
It is undeniable that he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth since he was a child, he has never experienced the pressure of life, he is well fed and clothed, and he lives a life that everyone envies. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, he should be the happiest person in this town.
But everyone's definition of happiness is different.
Poor people may think that having a lot of money is happiness, and they may think that money can buy everything, including happiness.
Duan Yunfei has been in the Duan family for so many years, and he rarely really feels happy. He is the only son of the Duan family, and his mother told him since he was a child that if he studied hard, all the property of the Duan family would be hiss in the future, and he would not be able to spend it all his life. And Duan Tianlan only knows how to make money all day long, as if it is a waste of time to accompany him more.
Everyone knows that the Duan family is very rich, and the young master of the Duan family is very happy.
But no one knew that this was not what Duan Yunfei really wanted.
All he wants is to be truly loved, needed, and that's it......
Duan Yunfei got up from bed again early in the morning, and this time he also brought most of his silver with him just to be on the safe side. After all, if Duan Tianlan knew that he would go to Li Xueyan today, he might really do something to prevent him from going home.
In case he can't come back, he has to go to stay with Li Xueyan's mother and daughter, but he can't put too much pressure on her.
After all, they only rely on zongzi stalls, and they don't know how many years it will take to earn a place for them to stay.
When Li Xueyan came to set up the stall in the morning, she saw that Duan Yunfei was already waiting in that place, and she didn't know how long she had been waiting. When I got closer, I found that Duan Yunfei's complexion was very bad, as if he hadn't slept all night.
Seeing that it was still early, no one would come to buy zongzi for the time being, so Li Xueyan put the things aside for Li Xiaonuan to guard, and then walked in front of Duan Yunfei.
"I look at your dark circles, I went to rob someone's money last night? The face is not very good...... The harvest is not good, is it? Li Xueyan felt that Duan Yunfei must have been like this after she went back last night, so she tried her best to relax her tone.
If you want to describe Duan Yunfei's current state, only that sentence is the most appropriate.
It's cool to stay up late.
He didn't feel sleepy until the sky was white, but he thought that if he had slept at that time, he would have missed the time to work here today.
Then Li Xueyan, the crazy boss, will definitely deduct his salary.
For a few pennies a day, Duan Yunfei insisted on getting up from the bed, came here early, closed his eyes and rested a little until Li Xueyan came over.
As a result, this woman who didn't know what to do was mocking him as soon as she came, which was really ......
Duan Yunfei smiled helplessly, looked at Li Xueyan with half-squinted eyes and said, "Yes, I was beaten yesterday for not grabbing the money." So I don't have the strength to work today, can the boss be kind enough to give me a holiday? ”
Li Xueyan smiled: "If you want to take a holiday, why don't you just come here?" Why did you bother to come all the way? ”
"Isn't it afraid that the boss will be angry?" Duan Yunfei is really sleepy now, and he is about to fall asleep while talking.
Li Xueyan really couldn't bear to pull Duan Yunfei, who was trapped like this, over to help, so she let him rest on the side first, and said very much, let him take a paid day off.
What made Duan Yunfei strange was that his father and mother didn't come over all day today. After resting at noon, the first thing Duan Yunfei did was to ask Li Xiaonuan if there were any strange uncles and aunts who came over today, but Li Xiaonuan just shook his head and said no.
Li Xueyan heard their conversation and quickly guessed what might have happened yesterday.
"You actually use strange uncles and aunts to describe your father and mother, Xiao Nuan must not learn from him?" Li Xueyan glared at Duan Yunfei dissatisfied.
Duan Yunfei said indifferently: "For me, it's my father and mother, and Xiao Nuan doesn't know them, aren't they just strange uncles and aunts?" ”
