Chapter 273 Big Brother
Chapter 273 Big Brother
Duan Chengfang was sitting in the living room, typing away on his computer until his keyboard caught fire. As the year drew to a close, the company's affairs became increasingly busy, and Duan Chengfang, the actual person in charge, gradually became too busy to do anything.
In fact, Duan Chengfang could sit in his bedroom and do his official business, but he also had a little idea. His father went to attend the banquet of the Di family, but he received a message saying that he would stay overnight at the Di family and has not returned yet. Duan Chengfang hoped that his father would see him working hard for the Duan Group as soon as he entered the door.
The door opened, Duan Chengfang quietly raised his eyes, then raised his eyebrows with slight surprise.
The person who came was not Duan Hongji, but someone who surprised Duan Chengfang greatly.
"Big brother?"
"Ah."
Duan Jizhi walked into the room and saw Duan Chengfang handling the company's affairs. A fleeting look of pain flashed across his face, and then he lowered his eyes, concealing it well.
Duan Chengfang himself was also somewhat uncomfortable. After all, he had seized power from Duan Jizhi. It was impossible not to feel awkward when he met his elder brother.
Duan Jizhi sat diagonally opposite Duan Chengfang - a very tactful position. Sitting here, Duan Jizhi could not see what Duan Chengfang was doing and there would be no suspicion of peeping into company secrets.
Duan Jizhi hadn't been home for a long time. To be honest, Duan Chengfang almost thought that his elder brother was going to live alone and be a couple with Jiang Huiyi. He didn't expect that he would come back.
Duan Jizhi said "hmm" and stopped talking. Duan Chengfang lowered his eyes and prepared to continue handling official business absentmindedly.
As soon as his fingertips touched the keyboard, Duan Chengfang heard Duan Jizhi say, "Actually, I came back today because I have something to ask you."
Big brother? Need help from him?
Duan Chengfang raised his face with a strange expression. Duan Jizhi was different from Duan Chengfang and Duan Ye. He was raised by Duan Hongji and his training standards were much stricter than those of Duan Chengfang and Duan Ye. Before the inexplicable seizure of power, Duan Jizhi had always been the designated heir of the Duan family.
Now, eldest brother said, you have something to ask him?
Duan Chengfang couldn't imagine what Duan Jizhi could ask him for advice. Despite this, he still closed his computer and pretended to be listening attentively.
Seeing Duan Chengfang being so happy, Duan Jizhi hesitated again. He frowned and lowered his head, looking like he was struggling.
Such a difficult question? Duan Chengfang sipped his coffee with a nonchalant sarcasm.
Duan Jizhi struggled for a moment and said, "I have a friend..."
"puff--"
"What's wrong with you?" Duan Jizhi raised his eyes in surprise. He hadn't said anything shocking yet, had he?
"Nothing, nothing, cough cough... cough cough..." Duan Chengfang put down the coffee cup and wiped his mouth with a wet tissue. "You... continue talking. What happened to your friend?"
Duan Jizhi retracted his gaze and whispered, "He always feels that his lover doesn't love him anymore."
Duan Chengfang: “…”
Hmm... so what? Jiang Huiyi doesn't love you anymore? Then you came to me to ask me to express my feelings?
Go and persuade our stepmother?
Duan Jizhi lowered his head, hugged his head with his arms, and said, "Second brother, I know these things may sound ridiculous. But you are the most experienced person in this family. Apart from asking you, I really don't know... who to ask for my friend."
Duan Chengfang's eyes almost rolled up to the sky. What happened recently? One by one, everyone came to him for emotional consultation?
Duan Ye is fine, even though Zhao Ruoming is a man, at least he hasn't done anything wrong to Duan Hongji. At most, he would just make his father mad.
But who is Jiang Huiyi? She is Duan Hongji's wife! Does Duan Jizhi still want Duan Chengfang to give him some sincere advice?
This is too shameless!
Duan Chengfang glanced at his elder brother with a strange expression - the latter was obviously still immersed in pain and didn't notice Duan Chengfang's emotions at all.
Duan Jizhi murmured, "She has been acting strange lately - I mean, my friend's lover has been acting strange lately.
"She would always stare at the sunset in a daze, and sometimes she would cry for no apparent reason. Once, my friend saw her holding an old iron box and crying."
Duan Chengfang didn't want to hear the details of Jiang Huiyi and Duan Jizhi's life at all, but there was one thing he was still quite curious about.
"Brother, why haven't you been home recently? Is it also to comfort your friends?" Duan Chengfang looked at his brother.
Duan Jizhi was stunned for a moment, then said casually, "I guess so. It just so happens that I have some things to do recently. Ah Fang, we have all grown up. We are no longer children who just stay at home."
"…Please continue."
Duan Jizhi said: "My friend's lover has always been a person who has never done housework, but recently she suddenly wanted to learn how to make soup and cook. I asked her why, and she said something like 'he has a bad stomach'..."
Duan Jizhi frowned and spoke in a much lower voice: "But my friend's stomach is very healthy! Apart from my friend, who else is worthy of her doing this?"
Jiang Huiyi? Making soup? The last time, the tonic soup was indeed made by Jiang Huiyi, but it all went into Duan Ye's stomach. The boy said it was bitter and astringent, but he drank every sip when he drank it.
Duan Jizhi added: "Sometimes my friend hears his lover talking in his sleep, calling another person's name..."
At this point, Duan Jizhi showed an extremely painful expression on his face: "How could she do this? My friend is sleeping next to her!"
Duan Chengfang: “…”
Blood ties cannot be severed, and one's eldest brother is always one's eldest brother. But Duan Chengfang really wanted to ask - well, didn't father also go through this at that time?
Jiang Huiyi never came back after being kicked out of the Duan family, so the actions mentioned by Duan Jizhi could only be considered mental infidelity. But when Jiang Huiyi did not leave the Duan family, she and Duan Jizhi did not neglect either the mental or physical aspects of their affairs!
Duan Chengfang couldn't help but think of some confrontations under the table... the deep kiss in the corridor... Duan Chengfang often had to pretend to be blind to avoid breaking this window paper. Even when Duan Chengfang went downstairs to get a midnight snack, he could see the small kitchen...
Duan Chengfang wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Having been a transparent person in the Duan family for so many years, Duan Chengfang's temper and endurance can be said to be quite outstanding. Even though his inner speechlessness has reached its peak at this moment, the expression on his face is still very steady and gentle.
"So, whose name did your friend's lover call out in his dream?"
Duan Jizhi opened his mouth and was about to answer when there was a loud bang and the door was kicked open again!
