Chapter 183 Assists
After dinner, the young master Theodore had not yet finished his bath. Duan Hongji took this opportunity to gather the whole family together and briefly talked about Theodore's affairs.
Everything else is easy to say, except why I took Theodore in, which I absolutely cannot say out loud.
Therefore, after Jiang Huiyi raised this question, Duan Hongji hesitated for a moment and said, "Theodore is my godson. I don't believe he would do such an immoral thing. You must keep this matter a secret."
Everyone: "..."
Godson?
Isn’t it enough that you have three biological sons? Why do you want to adopt a godson?
Fortunately, Duan Ye was not there, otherwise he would have had a quarrel with Duan Hongji on the spot.
Duan Chengfang almost never questioned Duan Hongji's decisions, but at this moment he couldn't help but ask: "Father, do you know much about this Mr. Theodore?"
Duan Chengfang and Theodore were of the same kind, but Theodore was more prolific. The first time he saw his sworn brother, Duan Chengfang knew what kind of person he was.
Such a person, to be Duan Hongji's godson? He should be thankful that he didn't set his sights on Duan Hongji!
Duan Hongji coughed lightly and lied with his eyes open: "Old Mansfield has always praised his youngest son to me, saying that he has a pure character and is very filial. In short, Old Mansfield likes this son very much..."
Duan Hongji couldn't continue his story, so he gave Duan Chengfang a meaningful look and let him fill in the blanks with his own imagination.
Duan Chengfang finally understood.
It is estimated that the father was negotiating business with old Mr. Mansfield and saw that the other party liked the younger son very much. In order to communicate with this big client, he adopted this godson.
Duan Chengfang understands business matters and the ways of the world.
Unexpectedly, old Mr. Mansfield died suddenly, and the godson was left with nothing but a walking shit pot. But his father still kept his promise and took on the responsibility of a qualified godfather!
My father is indeed the most responsible and good father in the world!
Duan Chengfang was convinced.
Duan Jizhi was always silent at home, but he couldn't help but speak at this moment: "I wonder what kind of power is behind him? Will staying in the Duan family bring disaster?"
Duan Jizhi had dealt with the PAR MANSFIELD Group and knew what a huge company it was. When old Mansfield was alive, he couldn't control these sons who were as fierce as wolves and tigers, let alone after his death.
Duan Jizhi didn't care that his father had a godson, but he was very concerned about whether the Duan family would be in trouble.
"Don't worry about that." Duan Hongji said majestically, "The Mansfield family's nest is in France, it can't reach here. Even if it can reach here, it can't reach me, Duan Hongji."
Although the PAR MANSFIELD Group is enormous, Duan Hongji, the richest man in the country, is not made of clay.
Duan Jizhi was influenced by his father's prestige, and although he still had doubts, he was reluctantly convinced.
Jiang Huiyi’s thoughts were completely different from her two sons’.
Jiang Huiyi whispered, "I remember this young man is not a serious person. Would it be inconvenient for you to let him live in your house?"
Obviously, Jiang Huiyi was still upset about being forced to dance last time.
Duan Hongji glanced at Jiang Huiyi and said, "For him right now, the Duan family is the safest place. He lives in the guest room on the second floor, and you live on the third floor."
"But..." Jiang Huiyi bit her lip. She still disliked Theodore very much. For some reason, she had a natural hostility towards this young and handsome man.
Duan Hongji said softly, "If you are not used to it, I will ask him to stay in the guest room and not come out, so as not to bother you, okay?"
"Okay." Jiang Huiyi gave in. Whenever the boss spoke in such a soft tone, the matter was usually irreversible.
Duan Jizhi looked at his father speaking softly, and then at Jiang Huiyi's obedient appearance, and a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.
Jiang Huiyi once made Duan Jizhi feel very safe, but he didn't know since when, this sense of security became increasingly thin, and gradually turned into an unspeakable panic.
After the family meeting, everyone dispersed. Duan Hongji sat on the sofa and snorted, "Get out."
Theodore's slender figure flashed out from the compartment.
After taking a shower, Theodore looked like a new person, with his fluffy flaxen hair flowing and shining, and the scent of shower gel on his body. There was a bathrobe in the guest room, and Theodore put it on but didn't tie it properly, revealing his muscular chest and muscular abdomen.
Duan Hongji was obviously not interested in men's bodies. He glanced at Theodore and continued to drink water. Unfortunately, Theodore never made empty promises. Duan Hongji was too lazy to look at him. It didn't matter. He could just show him himself.
Duan Hongji felt a slender and strong arm around his shoulders, and he couldn't help but tense his body slightly.
Unlike most Westerners, Theodore had very little body hair, and this arm looked like it was carved from marble. Duan Hongji lowered his eyes and thought coldly, would it be as hard and difficult to break as marble?
Theodore sat on the armrest of the sofa, looking down at Duan Hongji and saying, "Dad~"
Duan Hongji: “…”
He was really defeated by Theodore's shamelessness. It's not scary if a guy is thick and resistant to beatings, it's not scary if he is as thick-skinned as a city wall, and it's not scary if his moral bottom line is deeper than the Mariana Trench - but if all three are integrated into one at the same time, and if he has a mental state that seems like Stockholm syndrome, then it's very scary.
Duan Hongji admitted that it was very difficult for him to achieve this.
Duan Hongji had an expressionless face as he snapped Theodore's arm off his shoulder and then brushed his shoulder in a fussy manner.
After doing all this, Duan Hongji said calmly: "Did you hear everything I just said?"
Theodore rubbed his sore arm and smiled, "Of course. Duan, you're really nice to me."
It’s over, and he’s happy again.
Duan Hongji said: "My wife doesn't like you. You'd better not leave the room except for eating. This is very important, remember it."
Theodore is just a butterfly that looks for nectar everywhere. If he and Jiang Huiyi have some affair again, Zhao Ruoming will have no place to cry.
Theodore nodded in agreement: "Since it is the hostess's opinion, a gentleman must listen to it."
When he first saw Jiang Huiyi, his heart was indeed moved for a moment - just like the countless times he had been moved when he saw beauties before. However, after meeting Duan Hongji, this feeling of being moved was thrown out of his mind.
He had no interest in Jiang Huiyi and didn't care whether he saw her or not.
Now, his only impression of Jiang Huiyi is "Duan Hongji's beloved little wife."
It was just that according to his observation just now, the young wife might have some feelings for Duan Hongji, but Duan Hongji's attitude towards her...
He was all too familiar with that attitude.
Perfunctory. Or, unfamiliar?
Thinking of this, Theodore's eyes darkened. He looked at the handsome face of the man beside him and asked casually, "Duan, you and your wife seem to have a good relationship?"
Duan Hongji paused.
Zhao Ruoming was delighted.
Give me a pillow when you feel sleepy!
He is coming, he is coming! He is delivering the White Moonlight Plan to your doorstep!
