The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

The more Duan Xinyu listened, the angrier she became, and the more heartbroken she became, with tears welling up in her eyes.

But these gentle and quiet eyes looked infinitely sad when they were gazing at their father.

"You gave birth to me and raised me up, just so that one day I could make what you call a 'contribution' to the Duan family, right?"

Duan Xinyu's voice was not necessarily very high, but her words were more compelling than ever before.

But even though his daughter was so heartbroken and in so much pain, Duan Zhigui had no intention of calming down. Instead, he pushed away the woman who was trying to comfort him, pointed at his daughter's nose and cursed: "What do you want to do, you damn girl!"

"When you were born, you were a girl. You were sent away according to the rules. Wasn't it your mother? How could a girl achieve anything? I raised you to this age, but you didn't think about repaying my kindness. Now that you have the chance, you don't hurry up and tell me, your father, "

Listening to her father's repeated pressure, Duan Xinyu was in extreme pain. She immediately let her father go, covered her face with her palms, and ran away whimpering in pain.

"Stop right there, you damn girl!"

Duan Zhigui was so angry that he jumped up and down, roaring at his daughter's back as she walked away; but the girl was extremely sad but still cared to listen to him -

However, as she was running out with her face covered, she felt something soft bumping into her head... She looked up immediately and realized that the person she bumped into was none other than Jiang Feilan's concubine Hai Huixin.

Looking back at her with a giggle, Duan Xinyu thought again:
This beautiful woman was second only to Zhang Zuoxiang's daughter in status, but she held a high position in the Governor's Office;

She makes all the decisions on all the big and small matters in the family, including money, children's education, servants in the house, etc.

So Duan Xinyu also knew that this lady had considerable prestige both in the Governor's Mansion and in Jilin.

"Mrs. Jiang...Mrs. Jiang."

After a brief moment of distraction, Duan Xinyu immediately bent her knees slightly and asked, "How come you have time to come to my house today?"

In fact, she was a little nervous.

Now everyone knows that their father can't become the warlord. Even a young woman like Duan Xinyu feels that their Duan family has probably become the abandoned children of the higher-ups.

What does the person coming from the Governor's Office want to do?
She was nervously glancing behind Hai Huixin...except for the little girl who followed her in and the two guards carrying things, no one could see any ill intentions from her.

But before she could say anything, she heard her father's angry scolding from behind: "Where are you going, you damn girl? I'm telling you, if you really dare to run away, don't come back..."

Before he could finish his angry words, Duan Zhigui looked up and saw Hai Huixin standing at the door.

In an instant, he changed his expression and walked forward: "Oh, isn't this Madam Jiang? Your sudden visit really makes our humble home shine!"

As he spoke, looking at Hai Huixin's large and small bags of things, he probably realized that this must be the Goddess of Wealth coming to deliver things, so he hurried over to greet her with a smile.

Seeing her father like this, Duan Xinyu really couldn't leave, nor could she retreat... But Hai Huixin was very smart, and immediately took her hand with a smile and said, "I didn't come here specially - it's just that the Double Ninth Festival is coming soon, and the mansion needs to buy some clothes and furs for the winter."

"I just happened to be passing by your place, so I came to see if there was anything missing in your house."

As he spoke, he handed over some of the cloth and food he had brought to the servants and housekeepers in Duan Zhigui's house.

Seeing her so polite, Duan Zhigui was overjoyed and welcomed her in; in fact, the so-called Double Ninth Festival shopping was just an excuse Hai Huixin found temporarily.

In fact, Jiang Cheng asked her to come here today to test Duan Zhigui's attitude:

The capital city had caused him to create a farce, and now he had almost become an abandoned child of the Beiyang government... To put it bluntly, Jiang Cheng wanted to know when the father and daughter planned to leave.

After they sat down, there was a round of greetings. Hai Huixin tentatively expressed the following:

However, the shrewd Duan Zhigui clearly understood it, but he acted ignorant and weird, and never talked about it to Hai Huixin.

The lady in the Marshal's Mansion was so shrewd that she actually heard the hidden meaning in his words.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Hai Huixin stood up and said goodbye.

"You damn girl!"

After sending the graceful young woman out the door with a smile on his face, Duan Zhigui turned around and glared at his daughter fiercely.

In fact, he wanted to slap her, but seeing her pitiful appearance, Duan Zhigui suppressed the impulse.

"Come and see... The Jiang family has already asked their eldest wife to come over and test the waters—"

Duan Zhigui tried his best to make his voice sound less ferocious, but it was still trembling with displeasure. "You must have heard it, right? This lady is asking when we will leave Jilin."

Duan Xinyu lowered her eyes hesitantly: "Then, let's go! Woohoo, isn't it annoying to stay here?"

"Dad! Let's go back to the capital... Even if you feel embarrassed, let's go back to our ancestral home in Anhui? Mother and grandmother,"

But Duan Zhigui didn't let her finish her words and slapped her in the face.

"Snapped!"

Although the sound was not very loud, it really hurt the gentle and kind girl.

The sobs turned into tears in an instant, but Duan Zhigui's voice was not only a few notes higher, but also a little more fierce: "Right now, you want me to rush back to the interior of the country in a shameless manner? Back to my hometown in Anhui?"

"How can I say that I have lost so much capital? I have staked the rest of my life on this, how can I lose it just like this?"

He pointed at his daughter viciously and said, "Jiang Cheng, whether you like it or not, you have to marry me! My fame and fortune... all depend on this time."

Because of these various reasons, he became a discarded pawn of the Beiyang government in Beijing. All his soldiers were killed... but he still had money, and most importantly, he still had a daughter!

There was no hope for him to become the governor of Jilin, but he could always trade his beautiful daughter with Jiang Cheng for an official position, and then he would be able to live a carefree life again.

This is what he had planned, but there are too many uncertainties here.

First of all, the "beauty" in the honey trap does not agree with this strategy;

Secondly, in his eyes, men should be like Yuan Datou in the past, who love beautiful women... are greedy and lustful; and if the men are willing to accept his beautiful women, they will be willing to give him benefits in return.

His current opponent, Jiang Cheng, who was planning to plot against him, was now sitting in the large office in the lobby of the government office, listening to Yan Ziwen's report.

The business in Shanghai was booming and very successful thanks to the joint help of Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng.

Two foreign companies began to export penicillin, and many other foreign companies were transporting various industrial and civilian products to Jilin. (End of this chapter)
