Chapter 1978: Jiang Xun’s Engagement (Part 7)
If he, as the head of the Duan Family, were to support Feng Nianian, it would be a public declaration that Feng Nianian’s backing is the Duan Family. If anything were to happen to her in the future, the Duan Family would have to take responsibility, which means that Duan Xi, who will inherit the Duan Family, would also have to manage it. However, the Jiang Family is not a small family, and any trouble would be endless... One is a niece with a different surname, the other is his biological son; naturally, he would favor his own son.
And what Feng Nianian thought about last night wasn’t without reason; she simply overestimated her position in Duan Qianyang’s mind.
So she waited expectantly all day, and when she came home from school and asked Duan Sishu impatiently, she found out it was not Duan Qianyang, but Duan Qirui, who came. Her face turned quite unpleasant.
Although they are both part of the Duan Family and both are uncles, there is a world of difference between them.
Qianyang is prominent in Beidu, holds a high position, and is a key person in the Duan Family, while Duan Qirui, due to his obsessive hygiene habits, has no reputation in Beidu for years and is nothing more than an assistant to Duan Qianyang. Many have never even met him, having only heard of his extreme hygiene obsession.
She wanted Duan Sishu to beg Duan Qianyang to come forward because she wanted the Jiang Family to know that she was valued by Duan Qianyang, thereby elevating her status in the Jiang Family. Now that Duan Qianyang is not coming and sends Duan Qirui instead, what’s the point!
And another person who is upset is Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun met Feng Nianian at the engagement party of Ruan Jiaojiao and Duan Xi. Feng Nianian’s features somewhat resemble Ruan Jiaojiao’s, and Jiang Xun has always liked Ruan Jiaojiao, so at the party, Feng Nianian made quite an impression on him.
Afterward, Feng Nianian inquired about him in various ways and orchestrated various accidental encounters. Feeling the other party’s affection, over two years, they gradually ended up together.
