young man, much stronger than her useless husband.The sound of swallowing was incessant in her mouth, and she held Ye Fan's second brother, coming in and out, her face also becoming increasingly red."..."What"

Tonight, it was absolutely the most times Duan Xiang had ever been dumbfounded in his life.

But her previous dumbfounded expressions were incomparable to the one she had when Yue Qingke proposed to her.

In today's society, it's normal for men to propose marriage to women in person.

But the premise is, without saying that the two people are very close and understand each other, at the very least they should have been dating for a while, right

Take another step back.

At least two people should know each other, right

Where would a man propose to a woman without the two parties ever having formally acknowledged their relationship

Moreover, Duan Xiang and Yue Qingke's status and positions are not ordinary people.

Whether it was Duan Xiang or Yue Qingke, they had to let their families carefully consider the pros and cons before deciding who to marry.

Children's play.

This is childish.

This Yue Qingke thinks he's who, or does he think I'm someone, to call me and propose!

This was Duan Xiang's first reaction after snapping out of his daze, followed by anger: "Mr. Yue, in your opinion, is it appropriate for you, with your status and position, to make such a joke with me"

"I swear to God, I'm not joking. But this is something I've thought about very carefully for a long time before making up my mind."

Yue Qingke had anticipated Duan Xiang's reaction, so he calmly said, "Miss Duan Er, please give me a maximum of ten minutes. Let me explain everything to you in detail."

"Okay. You said"

Duan Xiang let out a long sigh and looked down the mountain.

That string of cars coming from the city had already reached a place a kilometer outside the villa.

But stopped.

After the convoy arrived, Duan Xiang was certain that those people were from his family.

The caravan stopped as a way to show respect for Old Duan and the Dali Duan clan.

The main figures in the convoy will soon arrive at the lodge on foot to explain their purpose.

The guards responsible for protecting the perimeter of the Duan family's estate should also go and see what's happening.

If Yue Qingke hadn't suddenly called, Duan Xiang would definitely have paid attention to this.

Now, she devoted all her energy to listening to Yue Qingke's explanation.

She wanted to hear what Yue Qingke could say to justify his childish antics.

Coming well-prepared, Yue Qingke spoke clearly and cited the regulations when explaining.

To put it simply, there are five points in total.

First, he and Duan Xiang, who was beaten up by Li Ren渣, had the same enemy.

Second, according to his assessment, Duan Xiang should feel the same way as him, wishing to cut Li Ren into a thousand pieces, but due to his weak position, he could only endure for now.

Third, the Jinghua Yue family and the Dali Duan clan are both top families in China, a perfect match.

Fourth, Duan Xiang is an unmarried young woman, while he is a divorced diamond king. If the two can successfully marry, it would be beneficial to both families.

Fifth, when two people who are "like-minded" join forces, they can leverage the power of their respective families to make it much easier to deal with Li scum.

"Second Miss Duan, I think I've made myself clear."

After explaining it simply and clearly, Yue Qingke added, “Of course, if you can swallow your pride, just pretend I said nothing. I also guarantee that I won’t tell anyone about what happened tonight.”

Duan Xiang fell silent.

Yue Qingke's patient wait.

To figure out who Duan Xiang is, you'd have to think hard about it.

After all, this concerns her lifelong happiness.

As people hastened toward the Mountain Villa gate, Duan Xiang spoke slowly: "Yue Qingke, you may not know this yet, but Li Nanfang is currently at my Daliao Duan family."

"Huh"

This time it was Yue Qingke who was surprised: "He, he would be in Dali"

Li Nanfang, who was suffering from various kinds of fatigue, suffered a mental breakdown after witnessing Hua Ye's infidelity with another woman. His memory began to deteriorate, and Duan Xiangning, fortunate enough to see this, used her sweet words to lure him to the Duan family in Dali. Except for a few women, almost no one in Jinghua knew about this incident.

Of course Yue Qingke didn't know either.

That's why I was so surprised.

To be precise, it was shock.

He really couldn't figure it out, how could that scum Li who once crippled Duan Xiang have the guts to come to the Duan family as a guest.

Yue Qingke's astonishment made Duan Xiang feel a little better.

Tonight, she was so surprised multiple times that she finally got to surprise Yue Qingke once. Of course, she was delighted.

"Yeah, he's in Dali. He just stepped through the door to our house right before you called."

Duan Xiang smirked and continued, “There are two things you definitely wouldn't have guessed.”

"What two things"

Yue Qingke hurriedly asked.

"First, he is Duan Xiangning's husband, that scoundrel. That means this time he came to my house as his brother-in-law."

"Impossible!"

Before Duan Xiangning could finish her sentence, Yue Qingke exclaimed in disbelief on the phone.

To truly understand a person, you either love them or hate them.

Only these two types of relationships cause people to pay close attention to someone and try to understand him, figuring out his strengths and weaknesses.

It goes without saying that Yue Qingke would naturally not fall in love with Li Nanfang.

Since Yue Qingke hated Li Nanfang to his core, he had always kept a close eye on his every move. He knew everything about his relationship with Hua Yeshen and Yue Zidong, like the back of his hand.

If Duan Xiang told him that Li Ren was choking to death from drinking water or falling to his death while walking - no matter how he died, Yue Qingke might be able to believe it.

He would never believe it, no matter how hard he tried. Li Nanfang, who was being pestered by women like Yue Zitong, actually managed to break free from their clutches and came to Dali to be a son-in-law for the Duan family.

"Nothing is impossible."

Duan Xiang glanced at the entrance of the manor again, smiled and said: “He has amnesia. He doesn't know he is Li Nanfang now, he only thinks he is Ye Shen.”

“He, he actually forgot”

Yue Qingke now understood somewhat, but still didn't believe it: "How could he have amnesia"

"As for how he lost his memory, I'm not quite sure myself. But I can assure you, he did lose his memory and thought he was Duan Xiangning's husband, which is why he came to see Master Taishan with her. Hehehe."

After saying all that in one breath, Duan Xiang felt the resentment he had towards Li Nanfang lessen upon seeing him.

Yue Qingke didn't speak, he seemed still dazed, needing much time to process Duan Xiang's message.

"Okay, I have something else to do. I'll talk to you later."

Before ending the call, Duan Xiang hesitated and said, "But I can seriously consider your proposal. Wait for my message."

"Okay, thank you."

"It's okay. Actually, what you said makes a lot of sense."

Duan Xiang smiled faintly, put down the phone he was holding to his ear, and looked towards the door.

From her position, she could easily see how many people had arrived at the entrance to the manor.

Who has arrived, and what are they doing

There were more than ten.

Everyone was dressed in neat uniforms.

Some people even had firearms strapped to their waists.

Upon seeing this, Duan Xiang's brows furrowed.

These people came from the military, there is no doubt about it.

The Duan clan's ability to stand tall in Dali for so many years is also due to their military achievements, which have brought them to where they are today.

From Mr. Duan, who is over eighty years old, down to Duan Chuhou and the four phoenixes of the Duan family, they are all military personnel.

The Dali Duan clan can be described as a family of military generals.

But in peacetime, the development of military families pales in comparison to those who navigate the political landscape.

This is also the main reason why the Dali Duan clan, after many years of keeping a low profile and hiding their strength, decided to transfer power north.

One leg walking is never as stable as walking on two legs.

Then, what major event could have caused these soldiers to dare bring weapons and come to the Duan family at night, a family with great influence in the Chinese military

"Could it be that they came for Li Scum"

When Duan Xiang thought of this, his eyes lit up.

She felt that she should hurry to attend the welcome-home banquet for her new son-in-law.

Du Xiangning urged Qin Han to sit down and quickly walked towards the second gate. As she did, someone was just coming out of the second gate.

It is Chen Shounan.

Out of basic courtesy, Chen Shunan also stood at the door to "greet" Li Nanfang's arrival.

He had never met Li Nanshan, nor had he ever heard of Ye Shen. So when he saw Lao Duan personally welcoming him out the door, his heart was naturally shocked.

Interest in Li Nanshan surged instantly.

Regardless of who Ye Shen was, the fact that Old Duan personally came out to greet him late at night was enough for Chen Shounan to pay close attention to him and secretly take his photo with his phone, bringing it back to his room to study carefully.

This person is definitely going to influence the current state of affairs in the Duan family. Who knows, they might even affect Emperor Shù's position within the Duan family.

Chen Shunan, who had long treated Duan Shuhuang as his son-in-law, immediately felt a heavy sense of urgency after keenly realizing this point.

He had to find his daughter immediately and have her analyze this Ye Shen. He needed to know who, or what, he really was.

Ms. Chen Wǔ, a native of Lingnan and the fifth daughter of the Chen family, went to work for the military intelligence department before graduating from university.

Elite intelligence operatives, when investigating a named individual, wouldn't find it a cakewalk, but it certainly wouldn't be too difficult.

Chen Shunan, lost in thought about this matter, did not even notice Duan Xiang sitting on the Han chair beside him, politely yielding his seat. He hurried towards the guest rooms without greeting him.

When accompanying the Duan family to "welcome" Li Nanfang, Chen Shunan had already seen his daughter on the empty viewing platform atop the mountain.

So as he walked back to his room, he looked up again, but he didn't see anything.

This proves Chen Yuer has already gone back to her room to rest.

Help, help.

Coming to his daughter's guest room, Chen Shunan raised his hand and gently knocked on the door a few times.

There was no reply.

"Could she have gone to the Imperial Bedroom again"

Chen Shunan frowned.

Although he favored Duan Shuzhuang as his son-in-law and, for his daughter's sake, was willing to put aside his dignity and personally visit the Duan family in Dali.

But this does not mean that Chen Shunan agreed with his daughter staying in Duan Shuchang's room all the time after she arrived at the Duan family.

Girls, it's best to be reserved.

Just as Chen Shunan thought of this, he took out his cell phone and was about to call his daughter when he heard a voice from inside the door: "Who is it"

"It was me."

Now that she heard her daughter's voice, Chen Shunan didn't find anything strange. After all, it was already late at night. The fish standing on the viewing platform at the mountaintop saw Duan Cuo Huang return. After the Duan family put out such a big welcome, she immediately realized that she might not be able to meet her sweetheart tonight. She lost interest and went back to sleep, which was quite normal.

"Dad, it's so late, what brings you to see me"

Chen Yuer, wearing a large sleeveless vest as pajamas, opened the door and covered her small mouth with her hand, yawning several times in succession.

She was using this way to cover up her fear.

Chen Shunan didn't notice and walked to the sofa. After sitting down, he directly asked, “Have you heard of the name ‘Ye Shen’”

"Ye Shen"

Chen Yuer blinked in surprise, shaking her head and saying, "No."

"Can you check his background now"

Chen Shunan held up his phone and asked the question in a low voice, glancing out the door.

When visiting the Duan family, secretly investigating the background of their son-in-law is an underhanded act.
