The Young Matriarch

Xu Xingchen was initially startled and quickly put it away, then laughed and said, “It’s nothing, just a gift from a relative of mine.” Although the watch was expensive, it could be bought with money, and Duan Xingye wouldn’t notice anything.

After saying that, he put the watch away.

Duan Xingye looked somewhat dazed.

He recognized that watch, a global limited edition; he had saved money to ask Duan Feihan, who was going abroad on a business trip, to bring it back for him, and then he gave the watch to his father, Duan Xiuhao, as a birthday present.

He had engraved several English letters on the dial and even chose a very special font, so there was no way he could be mistaken.

And now, this watch was here in the Xu’s house…

In an instant, Duan Xingye thought of what Bai Chuwei had just said, feeling that he looked a bit like Xu Xingchen, even their names bore some resemblance.

Could it be…

Duan Xingye almost passed out, a terrifying thought wildly roaming his mind.

Xu Xingchen was explaining a math problem to Duan Xingye, while Bai Chuwei sat leisurely on the side, drinking juice.

Duan Xingye was clearly absent-minded, and Xu Xingchen asked, “What’s wrong?”

Duan Xingye snapped back to reality, glanced at Bai Chuwei, who was smiling broadly at him while drinking her juice, and pulled a grimace, “Nothing, just thinking about the celebration banquet for my grandfather’s recovery, which will take place in a few days.”

Xu Xingchen’s heartbeat suddenly sped up, his hand gripping the pen tightly.

His father had said… that he would be introduced to the entire Duan Family at that celebration banquet.

With this thought, Xu Xingchen couldn’t help feeling delighted, and he turned his head to Bai Chuwei, “Classmate Bai, why don’t you come over and listen to the math problem too?”

Bai Chuwei’s graceful figure lazily rested on the sofa, her smile enigmatic, “My hearing is very good, I can hear you no matter how softly you speak.”

For example… Xu Li on the first floor was frantically making a phone call to someone, which she could hear clearly.

Xu Li was truly panicked; Bai Chuwei’s words earlier almost amounted to outright accusing her of seeking to harm Duan Xingye!

Xu Li whispered into the phone, “You don’t have to act, you absolutely cannot touch Duan Xingye today.”

The middle-aged man’s voice on the other side turned cold, “Even if I make my move, the police won’t be able to trace it.”

Xu Li was almost roaring in desperation but, remembering that Bai Chuwei was still upstairs, she could only warn in a suppressed tone, “Master Sun, anyway, don’t act, the mission is off! At least… don’t make a move now; we can discuss it again in a few days.”

She would, of course, be overjoyed if Duan Xingye died.

If Duan Xingye were dead, Duan Xiuhao would be without a son, and Xingchen could rightfully return to the Duan Family.

But now the situation was not right, at least… at least these few days they couldn’t lay a hand on Duan Xingye!

Xu Li lowered her voice and relayed Bai Chuwei’s situation, emphasizing over and over, “You absolutely can’t act now.”

The phone clicked as it was hung up, and the middle-aged man standing atop the high building murmured to himself, his tone full of contempt, “A little brat with yellow hair? What’s she to me?!”

Cancel the mission, who would pay him? He couldn’t believe that with Duan Xingye’s body lying there, Xu Li would stop paying?

“Let’s call it a day, thank you, Xingchen, I have to go to cram school later.” In the afternoon, a distracted Duan Xingye suggested leaving.

Xu Xingchen saw Duan Xingye and Bai Chuwei downstairs.

Duan Xingye forced a smile, “Weiwei, shall I have the private car take you home?”

Bai Chuwei’s eyes shone, and she decisively shook her head, “No need, I have a date with Tang Seng soon.”

Duan Xingye was shocked, “A date with my Uncle Four?”

Did Weiwei not take his words to heart? His Uncle Four has been pining for the Sister Fairy from twenty years ago!

Don’t fall for his Uncle Four, there’s no future in it!
