In the afternoon, Duan Shu Xian was reading the information at the counter. The information her father had given her was indeed very useful, causing her to be unable to stop looking at it.
She was taking notes at the side and staring at the information seriously. She didn't notice that someone had come in until the two books were placed beside her. She then looked up at the person who returned the books.
She thought it was just a student, but she didn't expect it to be him.
Duan Shu Xian was shocked and quickly stood up to look at him, "Teacher Xi, you're here."
"Before, I heard you call him Jiang Ning, Boss Jiang. Now that you call him Jiang Ning, do you want to change the way you address me?" Xi Jingchen stared at her, as if there was a trace of jealousy flickering within.
Duan Shu Xian couldn't help but find it funny, "Then I'll call you Professor Xi!"
In short, Duan Shu Xian would not call his name, because his identity was too big.
Xi Jingchen's gaze retracted, "Return the book!"
With that, he went inside to borrow a book. Duan Shu Xian took the book he wanted to return, feeling slightly helpless.
She was waiting for him to check out the books. She was a little distracted when Auntie Huang came over with some newly arrived books.
"Little Duan! Can you give me a shift on Saturday? I want to play cards this afternoon, "Auntie Huang said to her.
If Duan Shu Xian hadn't asked Jiang Ning to watch a movie, she might have agreed.
"I'm sorry Auntie Huang, I happen to have something on Saturday afternoon."
"What is it?" Auntie Huang asked curiously.
Duan Shu Xian could only say, "I have an appointment with Boss Jiang for a movie. I just booked a ticket, I really can't change shifts."
Hearing that, Auntie Huang immediately said happily, "It's fine, it's fine. Since you young people want to go on a date, then go on a date! I'm going to play cards with my best friend next time. "
"We're not dating, we're just watching a movie!" Duan Shu Xian couldn't help but want to explain.
"Aiya! Young people! What's there to be embarrassed about? Let's get to know each other. Who knows, maybe we can get together. "
Yes, I believe in the two of you. "
She just wanted to use the opportunity to watch a movie to repay Jiang Ning for treating her well during this period of time.
"What movie? Can you add one more? "Suddenly, a voice came from the side.
It was Xi Jingchen.
What scared her was not his voice, but his words.
"Teacher Xi, do you want to come with us?" Duan Shu Xian asked nervously. How could he go to a crowded place like a movie theater?
"What? Did I disturb your date? "Xi Jingchen's serene gaze focused over.
Duan Shu Xian was embarrassed. Even he misunderstood?
"Teacher Xi, I'm sorry, I only booked two tickets." Duan Shu Xian could only use this reason to reject him.
It wasn't that they didn't want him to come along, but his identity was too dazzling, and places like the cinema weren't suitable for him.
Xi Jingchen passed the book to her and opened his mouth, "Alright, I won't disturb you guys."
Duan Shu Xian could tell that he was a little angry, so she apologized, "I'm sorry."
Hearing her apology, he frowned, "You don't need to apologize. Also, if you want to come and listen to my class, you can directly enter the classroom. You don't need to eavesdrop."
Duan Shu Xian's beautiful face flushed red for a few seconds. She explained in embarrassment, "I was just passing by, I didn't eavesdrop."
Xi Jingchen bit his lips, took the book she handed him, and turned to leave. Duan Shu Xian watched him leave, her eyes filled with admiration.
Saturday arrived in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, at the Duan Residence, Song Meilan woke up early in the morning. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep, because she was going to bring her daughter to Pavilion Lord Manor as a guest today.
She knocked on her daughter's door and Duan Shumin opened it. She had just taken a bath and was trying to wipe her long hair that she had just washed.
"Mom, are we leaving?" Duan Shumin couldn't hide the anticipation in her eyes.
"It's still early, Mom just came to see you. Hurry up and dress up. Put on the dress I brought you last night! Just wear that one.
"" Alright, I'll be out in a while. "Duan Shumin also wanted to put on a good makeup and prepare.
Today, she didn't want to miss the opportunity to get to know Xi Jingchen, because she had already fallen in love with him before he even knew her.
A large part of the reason she had entered politics and worked so hard to get promoted was because of him. She wanted to be closer to him.
That day when she met him in the garden of Pavilion Lord Manor, he was the motivation and goal of her efforts.
Now, there was finally a reward. She had been noticed by the First Lady, and with her family's background, she had a better chance of getting close to the future First Lady than the other girls.
Duan Shumin sat in front of the dressing table. She had put on a light makeup, she believed that the nobles of the royal family would definitely not like girls who were too flamboyant. Putting on the elegant dress that her mother had given her, Duan Shumin had changed from a capable woman to an extremely flirtatious girl. She was only twenty-six years old, and she exuded a mature aura that was between a girl and a woman.
She stood in front of Song Meilan, who immediately looked at her daughter in surprise. She stepped forward to help her tidy up her clothes, and nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, my daughter is beautiful!"
Duan Shumin stroked her long hair, and the corner of her mouth raised into a confident smile. Father Duan also nodded, "Shu Min, when you go to Pavilion Lord Manor, you have to perform well and bring glory to our family."
"Dad, don't worry! "I will."
Even Old Man Duan attached great importance to this matter. He sat on the armchair.
He sat on the armchair and said with a tone of anticipation, "Right now, other than Si Ye, you are the most promising in our family. Don't disappoint us."
"Grandfather, don't worry!" I will fight for the family. "Duan Shumin looked at her grandfather and replied.
"Although there's still Shu Xian, that child is very quiet." In Song Meilan's heart, she still felt that her daughter was much more outstanding. Only her daughter could bring honor to the Duan Clan.
Old Man Duan naturally did not have any hopes for his other granddaughter. He only hoped that she would be like her parents, marry a good man, and live a peaceful life.
Around 9 o'clock, Song Meilan brought her daughter to the Duan Clan's private car and set off, heading straight for Pavilion Lord Manor.
Inside Pavilion Lord Manor, Chu Yue had also specially instructed the kitchen to properly entertain guests who came over.
Chu Yue came over from the kitchen and headed towards the master bedroom on the sixth floor of Pavilion Lord Manor. She extended her hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Xi Jingchen's voice came from inside.
Chu Yue pushed open the door and heard the sound of her son training on the treadmill beside the master bedroom. At this moment, Xi Jingchen stopped running, wiped the sweat off his forehead with a towel, and walked towards his mother.
"Mom, what's the matter?" He took a sip of water.
Chu Yue sat on the sofa at the side, "Jing Chen, Mom has invited two guests to our house for lunch today. They are almost here, come down and meet them later."
When Xi Jingchen thought of his sister's words, he guessed who it was. It must be the future wife that his mother had carefully chosen for him.
"Mom, what guest?" Xi Jingchen pretended not to know.
"It's an outstanding girl and her mother. Jing Chen, your father and I mean that you should get married first and then start a career. That way, after you inherit the position, you will be able to govern the country without any distractions." Chu Yue was also thinking for her son's sake, she was also worried about her son's succession.
Xi Jingchen did not blame his parents for lining him up like this. They were all doing it for his own good, so he nodded, "Alright, I'll be down in a while."
"Alright, don't let the guests wait too long." Chu Yue stepped forward and patted him, "Come down quickly."
Just as Chu Yue went downstairs, she heard the butler report that the Duan Clan's mother and daughter had arrived. Chu Yue immediately went out of the door to welcome them, only to see a pair of mother and daughter walking in from the corridor. She had seen Mrs. Duan before, and standing beside her, the tall and beautiful girl, was the future daughter-in-law that Chu Yue was very satisfied with.
She had checked Duan Shumin's upbringing, and with her achievements in the political world in the past few years, if her son married her, she would be able to help him a lot after he succeeded the throne.
Song Meilan immediately went forward respectfully, "Hello husband, hello! It's an honor to meet you. "
"Don't treat me like an outsider. I've missed you guys since we met at the banquet last time." Chu Yue smiled.
"Shu Min greets Madam." Duan Shumin greeted politely. She looked at the gentle lady in front of her, and her body had a threatening aura, it was the majesty of the mother of a country. Although she was about the same age as her mother, she looked even younger. There was even a kind of beauty and charm to her that made it hard to tell her age.
Chu Yue sized Duan Shumin up and smiled in satisfaction, "Hello, Miss Duan!" After saying that, she invited the mother and daughter in for tea. If he wanted to chat with more like-minded people about "CEO Daddy is super awesome", he would follow "Youread Literature" on WeChat.
