Living with the Teacher: The Merry Student

"That's right. It's that simple. I know you can't figure it out, and I couldn't figure it out at first either. But now I figure it out. Long Xiaolin's move is too clever!" Duan Ziming smiled bitterly.

"How do you say that?" Duan Jingxiu asked in bewilderment.

"He knows that if he stalks about the marriage contract, and even makes the relationship with our Duan family more and more tense, it will not benefit them at all, but will push us into the Zhuo family's camp. This It was not what Long Xiaolin wanted to see. So he made a move to make progress by retreating, and simply let us go. But he also put forward a condition, that is, we are not allowed to have any form of cooperation with the Zhuo family! " Duan Ziming said with a wry smile.

When Duan Jingxiu heard this, he suddenly realized.

"That means that Long Xiaolin is afraid that we will form an alliance with the Zhuo family. But if you reject Zhuo Yifan like this, aren't you afraid that he will have some thoughts in his heart? What if Long Xiaolin just stabilized us temporarily and dealt with them slowly later, we will deal with it slowly." What should I do?" Duan Jingxiu expressed the worries in his heart.

"It's not that I haven't considered the problem you mentioned. But you have to know that our Duan family is different from the other three families. What we need is stability. Long Xiaolin promised to let the past go. For us, this is the best way to maintain the status quo .Maybe this will offend the Zhuo family, but in the final analysis, the Zhuo family and the Long family have the same worries. They will all worry that too much pressure on us will make us fall to the hostile side. This is a balance. We We can only stay out of the matter and help the two departments to keep this balance going, so as to ensure the safety of the Duan family!" Duan Ziming took a deep breath and explained slowly.

Duan Jingxiu frowned.Her father's words are very reasonable, and she also agrees with this point of view. This is definitely the best choice for the Duan family!If the Duan family can stay out of the matter and not participate in the struggle between the Long and Zhuo families, that is the result she would like to see.But doing so always made her feel a little uncomfortable.She had the feeling of being on the fence, as if she was falling on both sides.

More importantly, Duan Jingxiu felt that she was ashamed of Zhuo Yifan.She vowed to them that she would not mention the Jinshanjiao matter to the Duan family, and also made the Duan family and the Zhuo family lose the possibility of continuing to cooperate.Although this decision was made by my father, it is no different from what she made!Originally, there was gratitude to Zhuo Yifan for helping the Shui'er family in his heart, but now, it seemed that he owed him a huge favor, but there was no way to repay it.More importantly, deep in her heart, she was still aching.As for why it hurt, she couldn't figure it out herself.

"Jingxiu! Do you think it's a little unreasonable for me to do this?" Duan Ziming couldn't help sighing when he saw his daughter's helpless expression.

Upon hearing this, Duan Jingxiu quickly shook her head and said, "No. For the sake of the Duan family, you are doing the right thing!"

"Tell Dad, are you really in love with Zhuo Yifan?" Duan Ziming couldn't see what his daughter was thinking, so he asked directly.

Duan Jingxiu was taken aback when she heard the words, her complexion suddenly turned pale, as if she heard a question that she couldn't accept.

"Dad, why are you asking this? Don't talk nonsense about things that don't exist!" Duan Jingxiu said with flickering eyes, a little upset.

"You are my daughter. As a father, I know a little bit about what you think. Maybe my decision today will make you feel uncomfortable, but please understand me!" Duan Ziming sighed helplessly.
