Chapter 185 Mother
Chapter 185 Mother
When Zhao Ruoming woke up, he felt refreshed and in a good mood.
This good mood ended the moment 203 told her what happened last night.
Rationally speaking, 203 handled it well. Theodore would still be useful if he stayed. If he had made any noise last night, Theodore would not be able to stay in the Duan family.
With Zhao Ruoming's temper, if someone climbed into his bed in the middle of the night, Theodore would die miserably.
But emotionally speaking, this incident was tantamount to pouring a pot of cooked manure on Zhao Ruoming's head in the warm and fresh morning. The devastation was unimaginable!
Zhao Ruoming gnashed his teeth, afraid that he would not be able to control himself and stab Theodore, so he quickly ran away to observe the progress of Feng Baobao's filming.
Duan Hongji always gets up early and goes out early, so no one in the Duan family became suspicious.
After a while, Duan Chengfang also got up, ate two slices of bread, and rushed towards the Duan Group.
Not long after the two left, Theodore also got up and took a walk around Duan's house.
Duan Hongji's injunction of "stay in the guest room and don't come out" was bullshit to Theodore. Fortunately, Jiang Huiyi hadn't gotten up yet and would not bump into him.
Theodore walked around the three floors of the Duan family's house and bumped into Duan Jizhi. Duan Jizhi had no opinion or interest in this young man, so he nodded and said hello and ignored him.
The Duan family has no shameful secrets. Even if there are, it is Duan Hongji's concern, not his.
Theodore had a very intimidating appearance, so it was easy for him to get information from people. But since he had just arrived, it was not easy for Theodore to just catch a servant and ask him questions.
Theodore strolled in the Duan family's garden, and while walking, he thought about the mystery in the Duan house with great interest.
Duan Hongji and Jiang Huiyi actually slept separately. Considering the relationship between Jiang Huiyi and Duan Jizhi, and Duan Hongji's attitude towards their affair, it is not difficult to guess that Duan Hongji and Jiang Huiyi's marriage was just in name only.
That's very interesting. With Duan Hongji's wealth, why would he want to have a sham marriage with the daughter of a poor family like Jiang Huiyi?
Duan Hongji obviously knew everything about the family situation. So, did Jiang Huiyi and Duan Jizhi know that their affair had been exposed by the head of the family?
Is it a tacit understanding, or a failed attempt to deceive superiors and subordinates?
In fact, Theodore didn't care about these issues.
When Theodore learned that Jiang Huiyi was not the "lover", the last bit of meaning of this woman in his eyes disappeared.
Compared to these, Theodore wanted to know more about the clues of the "wife" mentioned by Duan Hongji.
Where to find it?
Almost everyone in Haicheng knows the history of Duan Hongji's rise to wealth, but few people know about Duan Hongji's situation before he became rich.
Theodore thought about it and suddenly locked onto a person.
-------
"my mother?"
Duan Jizhi repeated these words with a strange expression.
Theodore, the newly appointed brother-in-law, suddenly came to Duan Jizhi to chat and asked the same strange question.
Duan Jizhi was puzzled, but his face remained cold and expressionless: "Why do you ask this, Mr. Theodore?"
Theodore smiled and said, "It's just a sudden interest. Everyone likes beautiful things."
For a guest, these words were really too outrageous.
Duan Jizhi frowned and said coldly, "Sir, I wonder if I remembered it wrongly - my father should have told you not to leave the room without permission, right?"
Theodore was not annoyed at all, but asked with great interest: "Mr. Duan, do you have a good relationship with your mother?"
Duan Jizhi's expression changed slightly.
It's no wonder he thought too much, he had something on his mind, not to mention that Theodore's words were really ambiguous.
What did this person know?
"My father values my mother, so I naturally respect her as well." Duan Jizhi smiled slightly, and then seemed to understand something, "I forgot that Mr. Theodore really doesn't have much experience getting along with his parents, so it's normal that he can't understand."
Theodore's father was Mr. Mansfield, a playboy with numerous sons, and his mother was one of Mr. Mansfield's countless lovers. Parental love was indeed rare for Theodore.
If it was an ordinary person, Duan Jizhi's words would be enough to break the other party's defense. Unfortunately, the person sitting in front of him was the invincible Mr. Theodore von Mansfield. Even if ten Duan Jizhis were tied up, they would only be fit to carry his shoes!
Theodore smiled and said, "To be honest, I have had twelve mothers. They were all very beautiful, and I was attracted to many of them..."
Duan Jizhi's expression turned slightly cold.
The other party really knew something.
But how did he figure that out?
Duan Jizhi thought of Duan Chengfang, his playboy brother. He was also the first person in the family to notice his relationship with Jiang Huiyi.
Theodore and Duan Chengfang are the same type of people. Could it be that people like them have some particular keen intuition about this kind of thing?
Although Duan Chengfang is smart, he has a fatal flaw, which is that he is soft-hearted and always cares about the dignity of the Duan family and Duan Hongji's face.
Duan Jizhi didn't have to worry about Duan Chengfang telling anyone about this. But he was not sure about Theodore, whose background he didn't know.
Theodore stopped when he saw that Duan Jizhi's expression was becoming more and more alert, and then he smiled politely and said, "As you can see, since Mr. Duan is now my father, then Mr. Duan's mother is also my mother."
Duan Jizhi: “.”
Duan Jizhi was obviously shocked.
Although he himself was a tough guy who dared to have an affair with his stepmother openly at home, this level was completely not enough in front of Theodore!
Theodore continued, "It's just that our mother died early, and I don't know her very well, so I want to ask Master Duan..."
Duan Jizhi: “…”
Whose mother? Who has the same mother as you?
Are there such shameless people in the world?
Duan Jizhi opened his mouth and suddenly reacted.
and many more.
He was asking about the deceased mother!
It’s not Jiang Huiyi, but Duan Jizhi’s biological mother!
