kind of defensive mentality, it seems that middle-aged men are especially familiar with. He didn't mind, just smiled faintly, and squatted down in front of the fat man, then said: "Hey Fatty, what br...Chen Yuer only said what she thought was the most appropriate thing to say.

But her mistake was that she shouldn't have said those words in front of everyone from the Duan family, and especially not in front of Yue Qingke himself.

The Duan family, who already held a deep prejudice against her, couldn't possibly remain with good faces after hearing this.

Especially Aunt Wu, she hated that Chen Yuer had the audacity to open her mouth. She wanted to rush up and tear it apart right then and there.

It's a shame that there was an old man present, even arrogant couples like Duan Wuliang would not dare to act out of line.

Chen Yuer's words were directed at Duan Shuhou, waiting to see how he would respond.

The problem is, Duan Shu Huang himself was also a bit muddle-headed.

Even if Chen Yuer knelt before him, weeping over her love's pain, he wouldn't be surprised.

But no matter what, he never expected that Chen Yuer would tell him to "stay away from Yue Qingke".

What's going on

The brilliant Zhuang Shang was speechless. He instinctively turned to look at Yue Qingke beside him.

And since Duan Fu appeared, he positioned himself as an outsider, calmly observing the situation's development. Yue Qingke at this time could only smile in response.

A smile, yet with endless coldness within it.

"Miss Chen, I, Yue Qingke, am not the one who brought disaster upon the Duan family, am I"

Yue Qingke was smart enough.

He did not scold or question Chen Yuer, nor did he rush to explain anything.

Just one fact, an undeniable fact concerning Chen Yuer, shifted everyone's focus to hatred and disgust for the Chen family.

He succeeded.

Duang Shuhuang turned his head to look at Chen Yuer, with no hesitation in his eyes.

"Thank you, Ms. Chen, for reminding me."

Needless to say, we're all intelligent people. Surely you understand the implied meaning.

Chen Yuer slightly sighed, several times trying to lift her head, but she ultimately didn't dare to meet Yue Qingke's gaze.

The last time she peeked into Li Nanfang's secrets, it had cost her dearly. There was no need to put herself in danger again.

The only thing she could do was go back as soon as possible, find her master, and improve her mystical cultivation.

"Farewell."

Chen Yuer turned and left, harboring no further thoughts for the Duan family or Duan Shouchang.

She left.

For the Duan family, this is truly a cause for great celebration.

To have such a dangerous blight by your side, unable to kill or punish her, and yet having to protect her - there's nothing more frustrating in the world.

Therefore, the Duan family was very pleased.

There was one person who didn't want Chen Yu'er to leave, and that was Duan Ning, who had already been completely convinced by the divination of Xuanxue.

Du Ning really wanted to chase after her, grab Chen Yu'er, and have her calculate fortunes for everyone in the Duan family.

It sounds like just pulling in some random con artist to give the whole family a change of fortune overnight.

Ke Duanning's idea was absolutely right.

It's a pity that this idea ultimately failed to come to fruition.

In the end, Chen Yuer is the bane of the Duan family. What's going on with Duan Ning getting so close to her

Well, before leaving, she did give Duan Ning a chance to do something for the Duan family.

Duan Ning looked at Yue Qingke, truly unable to discern anything out of the ordinary from that cultured and scholarly young man's face.

But she believed in Chen Yuer.

What's more important is that Duan Ning already had a strong prejudice against Yue Qingke before he even visited.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have argued with the old couple, Lao Wu and his wife, over trivial matters. In the end, after learning the truth, he left in a daze.

While everyone was still savoring what had just happened, Duan Ning quickly walked to Duan Shouchang's side.

"Dude, I think you should listen to Chen Yuer's advice."

As soon as Duan Ning uttered these words, the Duan family, which had just calmed down, once again boiled over like a pot of boiling water.

Earlier, with outsiders present, the couple of Lao Wu wouldn't have been able to speak freely. Now that it's just their own family, facing Duan Ning, a junior member, Aunt Wu has no qualms whatsoever.

"Duan Ning, what nonsense are you talking about Remember, Yue Qingke is your brother-in-law, and from now on you are all family. Don't let that Chen woman ruin the harmony of our family!"

Aunt Wu was convinced that Yue Qingke was a good son-in-law. While defending him, she kept sending meaningful glances at Anqiao.

Yue Qingke, of course, responded to Yue Mu's affection with a humble and graceful nod.

It's a pity that such a harmonious scene just formed.

was interrupted by Duan Ning's cold words.

I only have one brother-in-law, that's Li Yè Shen! My brother-in-law is still missing and his life or death is unknown on the peninsula. He definitely isn't here flirting with my mother-in-law.

Jiao Han Duan Ning, like Duan Lingxing who escaped death.

Over the past period of time, there has been a transformation of the spirit.

The words that came out of their mouth were infuriating.

Duan Wu's aunt was about to explode with anger.

Even the usually stoic Lao at his proper place couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly.

As the third-generation head of the Duan family, Duan Shuchang could no longer remain silent.

"Enough! Duan Ning, you can't be rude in front of elders and guests."

This statement by Duan Shuhuang reached the pinnacle of propriety, concerning seniority, respect, and hospitality. His rebuke to Duan Ning was so powerful that no one dared to refute it.

Still, today's protagonist is Yue Qingke.

The Duan family needs the Yue family's help to safely weather this crisis.

Yue Qingke also needs the Duan family's power to achieve his goals, so he wouldn't show any anger towards Duan Ning's rudeness just now.

Because the Duan Lao Si couple was heartbroken over their daughter's tragic death, they also rushed over to take Duan Ning away.

As those unpleasant things just now vanished into thin air, let's get back to the main topic: Yue Qingke and Duan Xiang's marriage.

Just then, a melodious ringtone pierced the air, once again plunging the room into an eerie silence.

The phone rang, it wasn't anything important.

The key is whose phone rang, that's where the huge problem lies.

This ringtone comes from Emperor Duan Chu.

Of all the people present, he was the one who least deserved to receive a call.

The leak of military secrets had the Duan family on edge.

A few days ago, the Duan family was put under lockdown, and Duan Shucheng, the source of the leak, became a key target of military surveillance.

Duan Shuhhuang did not leak the information, and someone else took the blame for him.

But the fact is that the information came from his computer.

The day the high-ranking military official came knocking, all of Captain Duan's external communication means were placed under strict surveillance.

To prove his innocence, Duan Shuhua immediately shut down his phone and handed over his computer, becoming blind to what was happening and deaf to the accusations.

Now, that phone of Duan Shushang's which had been powered off for a long time suddenly rang.

What does this mean

It must have been the military using surveillance means to unlock his phone and call him.

Duan Shuhua didn't hesitate, and quickly took out her phone to take a closer look.

A long string of numbers, clearly an overseas call.

He hesitated for a moment, then cast a questioning look toward Old Duan.

After this life-or-death experience, Duan Shuchang became even more cautious in his dealings. He even sought the advice of his grandfather before answering a phone call, far from being an unnecessary precaution.

Seeing Lao Duan nod slightly, he immediately picked up the call and turned on the speakerphone.

"Hello"

"Hello, Mr. Duan Chuang, this is the Embassy of Hua Xia in the Peninsula. My name is Liu."

This self-introduction echoed in the room, causing everyone's faces to become complex.

Nowadays, the entire Dang family is on high alert, all because of something or someone from the peninsula.

The fact that the head of the diplomatic mission called at this delicate juncture really sparks endless speculation.

"Hello, Ambassador Liu, my name is Duan Chuhong."

After Segment Emperor revealed his identity, he fell silent, confident that without him asking, the other party would immediately reveal the purpose of this call.

"Mr. Duan, someone has been trying to reach you for three days straight with no response. This is why we called through our embassy. Please open your computer, someone needs an answer from you. Sorry for the interruption, goodbye."

The call just ended out of the blue.

Duan Shuhuang experienced a brief lapse in thought, then saw the massive influx of information on his already-powered-on phone.

He understood.

He knew who was contacting him and what questions they would ask.

The seasoned old man, Duan Lao, also vaguely guessed the reason at the moment the call ended.

The rest of the Duan family had curious and puzzled looks in their eyes, hoping that Duan Shuchang could immediately give them an answer as well.

No, among the other members of the Duan family, there was another Duan Erdai who didn't show any confusion. Instead, he covered his face and sighed deeply.

Duan Erdai has been preoccupied with a certain message these days, determined to prevent anyone from the peninsula from further impacting Duan Shuchang.

You need to know, this time the military intelligence leak was a huge blow to the Duan family, and for Duan Shuchang himself, it caused unimaginable adverse effects.

There was a segment where Xiang Ning took the blame, and Li Nanfang smoothed things over.

Even Lao Duan personally commanded, ensuring that the Duan family's interests were maintained within a range that everyone could bear.

But no matter how hard everyone tries, it cannot make up for the mistakes that Emperor Duanzhang made.

His mistake was getting involved with women, his mistake was falling in love with a woman he shouldn't have.

To prevent this kind of mistake from happening again, Duan Erdai resolutely took on the responsibility of a father.

Eliminate all possibilities that could lead to Duan Shuhuang making further mistakes. Isolate them.

Only now did he realize that all his efforts had been in vain.

Some things, even if you try with all your might to cover them up, will only end up exploding with even more ferocity.

In the hushed atmosphere, Duan's servants led the person who they thought was a military officer into the main hall of the Duan family.

Upon entering, the person first paid respects to Old Mr. Duan and the rest of the Duan family in a circuitous manner, then without further ado, placed Duan Chuang's computer on the table.

After once more bowing, the soldier left without looking back.

Everyone's eyes in the room were drawn involuntarily to Duan Cuo Huang's computer.

As for Duan Shuhuang himself, he was thinking about what Old Master Duan would think when he saw this.

“Make your own decisions. Remember, a man should act with integrity towards heaven, earth, country, and nation.”

Lao Duan did not interfere with Duan Shuhuang's thoughts, and he didn't even mean to let him solve the problem in public.

But Duan Shuhuang had gone through so much, and thinking back on what Lao Duan had just said, he naturally assumed...

Unyielding to Heaven and Earth, unyielding to the nation, that is upright and honest, fearless of any scrutiny.

Duang Shu Huang's idea was very simple.

To be honest, even if he were to have the support of his family, he wouldn't escape military surveillance.

In the end, doesn't everyone still know what happened

He bowed slightly to Old Duan.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Having finished his sentence, Duan Chuang walked to the desk and reached out to turn on the laptop's power button.

Those few seconds it took to boot up felt like an eternity to everyone in the room.

Until the entire screen cooled down, many people couldn't help but step forward involuntarily, stretching their necks to focus their gaze on the computer.

There is no boot music.

There were no table paintings either.

On the darkened computer screen, there was only a simple sentence.

Or, it's a multiple-choice question.
