Chapter 137 – Don’t want an alliance marriage? (1)
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say the Duan’s were in turmoil. Everyone was busy fighting over power and family assets. There were definitely drawbacks to having a family that was too big. It wasn’t a good thing to have too many sons and daughters. Everyone felt that the current allocation of family wealth and power wasn’t fair. Each of them thought he or she should get more. Despite that, in a family like this one, they were more united than other families when they encountered something that went against the overall interest of the family.
For example, the people sitting on the mahogany sofas were harshly scolding Duan Chi.
Duan Chi’s oldest uncle said, “Never mind that you don’t do anything to benefit the family. We don’t care that you waste your days. Not only have you failed to do anything good, now you’ve done something that harms the company? It’s so shameful for the Duan’s to have a descendent like you. No one cares if you fool around with a woman. If you end up dead over fighting for a woman, you’ll just be reaping what you sow. But who taught you to go after a married woman? If my grandson didn’t have connections, we would still be in the dark when you cause the collapse of the company! Your ability is too good!”
Duan Chi’s second uncle said, “Third brother, how did you raise your son? Although Song Tingshen can’t be considered a local, even an idiot knows that he’s a brilliant younger generation and his company is one of the best in his industry. Even the members of the Wang’s will give him some face. Although our family is in a different field than Song Tingshen and we don’t have a business relationship with him at the moment, there’s no reason for our family to offend him because of your idiot son! We’re all men here. Your son should know that the most intolerable thing for a man is for someone to be thinking about his wife. What’s wrong with your son? He went straight to Song Tingshen’s company. Who knows what your son said to him? I’m sure it was nothing good!”
Duan Chi’s dad didn’t say a word. If there wasn’t someone next to him pretending to hold him back, he really wanted to use his belt to beat his son to death.
It was Duan Chi’s oldest aunt that walked over to him and warmly asked, “Is this true? Aunty believes that you’re not that type of person. Is there a misunderstanding somewhere? Even though Song Corporation is very influential, he can’t pour dirty water on the descendents of our family.”
Duan Chi stumbled over what to say.
After Ruan Xia had scolded him that day, he had wanted to give up. After all, she had already spoken to that point, but...
Someone had once told him that it wasn’t easy to meet someone that you truly loved. If you don’t take action now, you would regret it when you were old. For this rare chance at love, he should be brave.
Seeing Duan Chi’s attitude, what was there left for people to not understand?
Duan Chi’s mom didn’t know understand why her son had gone crazy over love either. Seeing him like this, she felt like she was going to have a heart attack. She was so angry that she couldn’t even clearly speak. She clutched her chest as if she was going to faint at any second.
First, the Duan’s didn’t want to offend Song Tingshen. After all, in these years, no one wanted to gain another enemy for no reason. And, it would be a powerful enemy too. Second, if news spread that Duan Chi was pursuing a married woman, it would damage his reputation. This was an ugly thing in high society. What prestigious family would still be willing to marry their daughter to Duan Chi?
