Chapter 334: Chapter 334: Who knows if this might actually bring other disasters?
While other fathers dressed in red as if they were about to go on a group trip, Duan Feihan was an entirely different sight; he looked as if he had just walked off a fashion show runway, captivating everyone’s attention.
Duan Feihan glanced downwards at Bai Chuwei with a smile playing at his lips, a slight curve forming at the corner of his mouth.
“Yang Jingya, what nonsense were you spouting just now? What do you mean Xingchen is not a child of the Duan Family?” A cold male voice came from outside the crowd.
Soon, Duan Xiuhao came over with Xu Xingchen in tow.
Xingye’s mother, Yang Jingya, looked at the two coldly. Xu Xingchen averted his eyes and couldn’t bring himself to meet her gaze, managing only a greeting, “Hello, Auntie Yang.”
Yang Jingya mocked, “Duan Xiuhao, this illegitimate child bears the Xu surname, not Duan. We’re here today for Xingye, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry!”
Bai Chuwei couldn’t help but tug at the corner of her mouth, recalling the original plot.
After the silly and sweet cannon fodder Xingye “accidentally died”, Xu Xingchen was brought back to the Duan Family as the only grandson.
Xu Xingchen was very kind to Auntie Yang, but unfortunately, Yang Jingya always suspected that Xu Xingchen had something to do with her own son’s death. She constantly caused trouble in the story, setting traps for Xu Xingchen and Tong Qingyan, and eventually, the high-society lady ended up being sent to a psychiatric institution.
To put it bluntly—this lady was tough, always confronting Xu Xingchen head-on, and naturally, it didn’t end well for her.
Duan Xiuhao was greatly angered by Yang Jingya’s words, opening his mouth to retort fiercely, but Xu Xingchen tugged at his sleeve and whispered, “Dad, let it go, don’t argue with Auntie. The most important thing today is the college entrance examination.”
Duan Xiuhao glared at Yang Jingya and muttered under his breath, “I can’t be bothered to argue with a shrew like you!”
Turning his head, Duan Xiuhao smiled genially at Xingye, a look of surprise on his face as he noticed his son’s attire, “Xingye, you didn’t wear the clothes dad bought especially for you?”
A flicker of disgust passed through Xingye’s eyes as he replied with a cold sneer, “Please, spare me from your disgust in the future.”
Hearing this, Duan Xiuhao felt a surge of anger. Had his wife and son both taken the wrong medicine?
It was bad enough that Yang Jingya was a shrew.
He had specifically gone to the mall to pick out a college entrance examination gift for his son, only for Xingye, that little bastard, to call it disgusting.
He had said it before: counting on Xingye, the Duan Family’s main branch would never rise again; they would always be trampled underfoot by Duan Feihan!
Bai Chuwei looked at the jade pendant Xu Xingchen wore on the outside and smiled knowingly.
Bai Chuwei couldn’t help but sigh; Xu Xingchen really lived up to his character in the original text, always considering only himself.
In the original text, even his initial interactions with the official female protagonist, Tong Qingyan, were based on use, and only later did he slowly fall in love. Content originally comes from novel✶fire.net
Bai Chuwei glanced at Xingye, who was clearly infuriated; his breathing became erratic upon seeing the protective jade talisman hanging around Xu Xingchen’s neck.
Bai Chuwei casually flipped her hair, with a hint of amusement in her languid tone, “Xingye, don’t they say ‘A blessing in disguise’? Some things shouldn’t be worn; who knows, they might bring other calamities instead?”
The faint smile on Xu Xingchen’s face suddenly stiffened, and he began to feel uneasy.
Xu Xingchen was now extremely wary of Bai Chuwei; last time he casually mentioned being struck by lightning, and after Bai Chuwei responded, there really was a thunderstorm.
Touching the jade talisman at his chest, Xu Xingchen couldn’t help but look up at the sky.
The sky was a clear blue with a few high-hanging clouds, certainly no sign of thunder!
Meeting Bai Chuwei’s half-smiling gaze, Xu Xingchen panicked and quickly averted his eyes, saying to Duan Xiuhao, “Dad, let’s wait over there.”
To get farther away from Bai Chuwei.
