Duan Shu Xian didn"t take the bus. For the time being, she didn"t want to take the bus. She wanted to walk for a while, even if it was still far from home.
Behind Duan Shu Xian was a black car with tightly closed windows that was slowly following her. The car"s speed didn"t exceed her and the four black cars behind the black car also stopped and left.
Duan Shu Xian didn"t even have a chance to check out the situation. There were so many cars by the roadside, and she was absent-minded. Where would she go to see more cars on the road?
The man in the car watched her silently. He didn"t know what he was going to do, but he wanted to follow her and see where she was going.She walked past a traffic light and saw a pa.s.sing electric car. She saw a seven or eight year old child jumping and carrying a backpack across the road. She immediately sped up her footsteps and walked beside the child to protect him.
After walking for more than a kilometer, Duan Shu Xian suddenly felt tired. She stretched out her hand to fan her face and sat at a bus stop beside her. Soon, the bus stopped and she paid to sit down.
The bus left the station, and the black car behind suddenly sped up and sped forward. The black car behind also quickly caught up, pus.h.i.+ng away all the other cars that were trying to get close to the car in front of them.
Duan Shu Xian leaned against the window as she watched the traffic on the street. She couldn"t help but feel how small and ordinary she was among all the living beings.
At least she had seen the man at the top of the country. He would be the most respected man in the future.
To have such a friends.h.i.+p was already a blessing bestowed upon her by the heavens. What else could she not be satisfied with? She felt that anyone who could approach this man now would feel happy in the future.
On Monday night, they received another call from Old Man Duan, urging them to go back and eat dinner.
Every month, there would be a few days when she was invited back for a meal. Duan Shu Xian followed her parents to her uncle"s house.
Although the gap between the two families was huge, the eldest uncle"s family did not look down on them. Every time they returned, they would treat them with great dignity.
"Aunt, have Sister Min and Big Brother returned yet?" Duan Shu Xian asked curiously.
Song Meilan laughed, "They have been very busy lately, and it is getting later and later every time they return. However, they will try their best to rush back here before dinner."
Duan Shu Xian nodded with a smile. She turned around and took her phone out to the garden. Since there were no juniors around, she looked a little bored.
Li Yu asked his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, it"s not that I"m blabbermouth, Xiao Min should be around 26 this year! Is there a suitable pair? "
Song Meilan"s face suddenly had a look of gratification: "Xiao Min did not tell us, but …"
"But what?" Li Yu asked curiously.
"The last time I received her call, she said that she had time on her other day, and wanted me to bring Xiao Min to the Pavilion Lord Manor for a chat."
Li Yu"s gaze instantly turned extremely envious, and at the same time, she said in a low voice in congratulations, "Sister-in-law, has Xiao Min been taken fancy?"
Your Excellency"s son is also twenty-seven this year. Song Meilan didn"t dare guarantee it either, but she was sure that she was helping his son look good for a girl with some sort of background. She was very honored to have her daughter selected.
Li Yu smiled and said her blessings, "Then we will be waiting for Xiao Min"s wedding wine. Marrying to the Pavilion Lord Manor is such a great honor!"
Song Meilan also felt that she had been blessed for three lives to have given birth to such an outstanding daughter.
Ten minutes before dinner, a pair of exceptional siblings came back. Duan Siye and Shu Min walked in one after the other.
"Big Brother, Sister Min." Duan Shu Xian smiled.
"Shu Xian, how have you been recently?" Duan Siye asked with a gentle smile.
"I"m not bad!" Duan Shu Xian replied with a smile.
"Shu Xian, do you want to change your job? I have a pretty good position, do you want to try it out?" Duan Shumin asked as she took off her jacket.
"No, Sis. I"ll take the exam next year. I won"t enter the office for now." Duan Shu Xian tactfully refused. Duan Shumin had long hair that was tied behind her head. She looked neat and capable, her makeup was exquisite, and her beauty was grand. Even though she often appeared at important meetings on the news, her real person was even more beautiful. At the dining table, Old Man Duan was concerned about the recent developments of his grandchildren, as well as most of his recent experiences …
Time was spent asking Duan Siye and Duan Shumin about this. Only at the very last moment, when they thought that he still had another granddaughter, they could not help but say a few words of concern.
Dinner was as lively as it was always. The elders were talking about health care, children were listening to their conversation, and occasionally a few sentences were added. Duan Shu Xian was the quietest. She was like a well-behaved girl, listening to the elders" conversation. At around nine o"clock, Duan Deming brought his wife and children home, and the Duan Residence also quieted down. Song Meilan knocked on his daughter"s door, pushed it open and saw his daughter, who was writing materials at work.
Come to Pavilion Lord Manor as a guest this Sat.u.r.day! "
Duan Shumin immediately put down the pen in her hand and looked over excitedly, "Mom, is it true? Have you made an appointment? "
"You have to try your best. If our family can produce a new one, then that would be a glorious matter for our ancestors."
Duan Shumin pursed her lips and smiled, a look of confidence flowing from her eyes. "Mom, don"t worry, I believe that I have some fate with Young Master Xi."
"I am naturally not worried about your character and appearance. Even if she took the initiative to look for you, she would definitely be very satisfied."
"Mom, don"t worry. I won"t let you down." A hint of pa.s.sion and expectation flashed through Duan Shumin"s eyes, as if she had longed for that man for a very long time.
"Alright, rest early. Sat.u.r.day, try your best to go to Pavilion Lord Manor as a guest in your best state." After Song Meilan finished speaking, she stood up and left.
Duan Shumin gazed out of the window into the distance, her mind recalling that evening two years ago when she had sent out the ingredients from Pavilion Lord Manor. She pa.s.sed by a garden and saw a man standing there and chatting with someone. Just by gazing at that handsome and slender back, she was stunned, until he felt that someone was looking at her. His gaze turned over to her, and it was a pair of eyes as calm as the night.
