Chapter 928: Trip to Beidu (13)

Xu Xu did not answer. He returned to his room after paying the phone bill. His cold look was totally different from his gentle appearance when he made the phone call just now.

I didn't expect that such a young child would have two faces now. The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders indifferently, put the money in his inner pocket, pulled his outer coat, and squinted his eyes.

Ruan Jiaojiao slept well after the phone call. Xu Xu, who thought that he would be able to go back tomorrow, also slept well, but someone in the Duan family couldn't sleep.

Duan Xin thought about the person he met during the day, and then thought about his father's recent long trip. He couldn't sleep more and more. He simply sat up from the bed, put on his slippers, opened the door and came out.

He lived on the third floor. It was past nine o'clock now. Although the lights in the whole mansion were not turned off, it was too quiet. He stood by the railing on the third floor and thought for a while. In the end, he couldn't resist his curiosity and tiptoed downstairs.

Because Uncle Duan was in poor health, he had always lived on the first floor for convenience, but no one had lived on the first floor in recent years, because Uncle Duan's health had reached the end stage and he could only stay in the hospital, and he had not been back for a long time.

Duan Xin walked from the third floor to the first floor and quietly entered Uncle Duan's room.

Although his uncle's room had not been occupied for a long time, it had always been cleaned. Except for a little less popularity, it was still very clean.

Duan Xin first looked at the tables within his sight, but did not see what he was looking for. He then went through a few drawers and found a relatively old photo album.

This was a relatively old photo album, with many photos of the three brothers and sisters of the Duan family when they were young, but there were no color photos at that time, so when Duan Xin found his uncle's photo, he sighed with some disappointment.

He closed the photo album and carefully put it in the drawer. When he came out of the room, he happened to meet Duan Qirui who had returned from outside.

Duan Qirui is the second master of the Duan family. He and Duan Xin's mother Ai Keyin were considered a family marriage. Their relationship was average, but the second master of the Duan family had a serious mysophobia since he was a child, which had reached a pathological level. Therefore, except for sleeping with Ai Keyin on the wedding day and giving birth to a son, Duan Xin, he has never had another child.

And Ai Keyin couldn't stand such a widow's life, so she divorced Duan Qirui a few years ago.

Duan Qirui still cared about Duan Xin. Seeing that he hadn't gone to bed in the middle of the night, he stopped his steps to take a shower and asked, "Don't you have classes tomorrow? It's so late and you're still not sleeping."

"Dad, I heard that you went to Yuansu City two days ago?" Duan Xin asked instead of answering.

"Well, is there any problem?" Duan Qirui asked. He had already walked to the second floor. He couldn't stand the dirt all over his body after coming back from outside. He didn't care why Duan Xin asked this, and he hurried into the bathroom to take a shower.

Duan Xin hadn't finished asking, but he knew his father's temper, so he simply sat down on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, waiting for Duan Qirui to come out of the shower.

In the middle of winter, Duan Qirui took a full hour to shower before coming out, his fingers were all white from soaking. When he came out in his cotton pajamas, Duan Xin called him downstairs: "Dad, wait a minute before you go to sleep, I have some questions for you."

Duan Qirui frowned, watching him running over from the second floor, his brows furrowed tightly.
