Chapter 1708 - Siblings Talk
Duan Shu Xian heaved a sigh of relief. She turned around and walked in another direction.
Duan Shumin stood in place blankly, as she began to ponder about something. Since she was young, she had never seriously tried to get to know this cousin of hers.He only thought that she was inferior to him in every single way. However, now that he thought about it, Duan Shu Xian did indeed have an advantage in her body that she did not have, and that was the feeling of warmth she gave others.
She had always believed that she was an aloof and aloof person. She would not be polite to others unless it was someone who was interested in her interests. Otherwise, she would lose all patience and time for ordinary people.
Sometimes, she felt, people and things that meant nothing to her, why did she take the time to do them?
Now that she thought about it, this was the place where she was inferior to Duan Shu Xian. In her heart, there were no rankings of various grades. Everyone was equal, and everyone was treated fairly.
Duan Shumin turned around and looked at the museum in the evening. She bit her lips and welcomed the fate that had to be accepted.
When Duan Shumin returned home, Song Meilan had been worrying for the whole day. When she saw that her daughter had returned, she immediately went up to comfort her, "Min Min, are you alright!"
"Mom, I'm tired." Duan Shumin shook her head. She wanted to go lie down for a while.
Duan Shumin immediately followed her back to her room. Duan Shumin laid down, and she said, "Min Min Min, I made some inquiries again today, I don't think Duan Shu Xian has a chance to meet her. Madam probably thinks that she isn't worthy of her son too, so don't worry, you still have a chance."
Duan Shumin closed her eyes. She knew better than her mother whether there was a chance."Your father's position is something the Madam has her eyes on. She will definitely find a woman who will be more helpful to her son and become his daughter-in-law. What do you think Duan Shu Xian can do?" Her books are not as much as yours, and her achievements are not as good as yours! She's nothing like you. "
At this moment, Song Meilan only wanted to step on Duan Shu Xian to make her daughter happy.Duan Shumin turned to look at his mother, who shook her head, "No! We all don't know our cousin. Maybe she has some good points. "
Song Meilan was startled, why would her daughter speak up for Duan Shu Xian?
"Alright! Even if she did, it would be a small advantage. She is a person who does not have much of a personality, neither fighting nor snatching. However, she is not very ambitious, nor petty. " In Song Meilan's eyes, there was not a trace of Duan Shu Xian.
"Mom, is your brother back yet? I want to talk to him. " Duan Shumin's heart was very complicated right now.
"In the study, I chatted with him about this, but he didn't comment at all. He even told me not to worry about that." Song Meilan became angry when he spoke of her son, so he did not help her point of view or think about things from her point of view.
Duan Shumin sat up, she pushed open the door and came out, then said to Song Meilan: "Mom, let me chat with big brother!"
Song Meilan then went to busy herself with dinner, where she knocked on Duan Siye's study door, and heard his voice.
"Come in!"
Duan Shumin pushed the door open, and looked at his big brother who was sitting in front of the desk. Duan Siye was dressed in a dark suit, and his entire body emitted the aura of a successful businessman."Big brother! Do you have time? "Let's talk." Duan Shumin asked him.
"Yes, come here!" Duan Siye nodded and invited her in.
As Duan Shumin sat on the sofa, she sighed, but did not take the initiative to ask a question. Both of Duan Siye's hands were crossed in front of her chest, and looking at this outstanding little sister of her from a young age, his heart ached a little.
"Mom told me about Shu Xian and Young Master Xi, you should be more open about it too, you can't force yourself on something like that.""Big Brother, have you ever liked someone before? The one who loves very much. " Duan Shumin raised her head and asked seriously.
Duan Siye thought about it, and felt regretful that he couldn't empathize with his sister.
"I don't have any women I like very much." Duan Siye told him the truth.
Duan Shumin could not help but sigh, "If there's a girl that Big Brother likes, then she should be very fortunate!"
Duan Siye laughed, "All day long, I have been busy with work, and all day long, how would I have the time to talk about relationships with other people?"
Duan Shumin's eyes revealed a trace of pain, "I'm really jealous! I'm so jealous, I feel like I'm going crazy. "Duan Siye looked at her worriedly and explained, "Min Min, in this world, you can force anything you want, but that won't do. Young Master Xi has his own choices."
"But why her? "If he were to marry someone else, I wouldn't have to see him. However, if he were to marry Duan Shu Xian, he would definitely appear in the Duan Clan in the future. I can't accept that, I must have had a crush on him for two years." Duan Shumin was in extreme pain.
"Even so, the only thing you can do is to change yourself. You can leave the country and work abroad. That way, you will have fewer chances of meeting him in your lifetime."
Of course Duan Shumin had thought of this before, but she was still in pain.
"I'll consider it if he does become my brother-in-law." Duan Shumin nodded.Duan Siye couldn't help but worry for his other matter, "Mom's expectations for you is too high, so her current mood is also very unstable. Don't use this matter to provoke her, calm his down!"
"I know Mom is more anxious than I am about this. She really wants me to do it to help her. Mom has always been stronger, and she always felt superior in front of Aunt. Now, I've let her down, so her heart is at a disadvantage."
"It's not good for her health! As children, we have to enlighten her more. " Duan Siye warned his sister.
Duan Shumin bit her lips, "Brother, tell me the truth, with your eyes as a man, Shu Xian and I, which woman will you marry?"Duan Siye squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and quickly replied, "Although your conditions are outstanding, as a man's wife, most people would choose Shu Xian."
Duan Shumin was startled, but hearing her brother's words, she couldn't help but laugh at herself, "Why?"
"Because what a man needs is not the strength of his woman. They are born with the instinct to protect the weak and the desire for warmth, because the world a man needs to face is originally the world of the strong. So, after returning home, having a warm woman to accompany him is the best time for a man to rest." Duan Siye expressed his view.
Duan Shumin suddenly thought back to the scene where Duan Shu Xian comforted the little girl. She had to admit, Duan Shu Xian had a warm temperament.
"Is this why he chose Shu Xian? He needs a weakling. "
"No, Shu Xian isn't weak. On this matter, she showed her courage. Shu Xian is a girl with a soft exterior but a strong inner strength. I like her personality very much." Duan Siye had indeed doted on Duan Shu Xian since young and doted on her a lot.Duan Shumin's conversation with her brother made her understand some things. She stood up and said, "You're right, I will consider living abroad."
"Min Min, don't worry. You will be blessed." Duan Siye comforted her."Big brother, then you have to consider it." Duan Shumin warned her as she turned around to leave.
Duan Shu Xian was very busy, when she was passing by a street, she just happened to see a plane flying in the sky, and when she raised her head, she started to miss Xi Jingchen.He couldn't see her for a week. Once the gap in his thoughts was broken, he wouldn't be able to hold her back anymore.
While she was waiting for the traffic light, she reached out to touch the necklace around her neck. When she thought of him, she only needed to touch him to feel the pain of love.Three days later, Duan Shumin suggested to her family that she go abroad to work. The Old Man Duan didn't quite agree to it, and Song Meilan even more so didn't want his daughter to leave his side, refusing her permission to go out.
Duan Shumin had already made up her mind, but Duan Deliang left her with a choice. No matter where, as long as she worked wholeheartedly for the nation, he would be very pleased.Old Man Duan had a lot of thoughts in the past few days, and he also had some guilt in his heart. Since he was young, he didn't have enough care for Duan Shu Xian, and now, even though he was proud, he felt guilty.
That night, Song Meilan was not in a good mood. She was having a headache and did not want Duan Shumin to leave.
"If you go to a foreign country, I won't be at ease. What will you do by yourself? No one will take care of you. " Song Meilan doted on this daughter the most, and she was unwilling to part with her.
"Mom, I will take care of myself!" Duan Shumin comforted her.Duan Siye was also beside her, "Mom, I'll come home to accompany you more often."
Song Meilan turned his head, "You have to quickly find me a daughter-in-law first."
Duan Siye frowned and nodded: "Alright, I will try my best to find it."
