Chapter 175 Childhood Friends (30)

The door was about to be closed, Duan Ming raised his hand and hit the door frame, "Is that what I want? I won't fight with you for the inheritance. Go see him for the last time and let him go in peace. I beg you."

Duan Xu lowered his eyes. He didn't expect Duan Ming to beg him.

"When he cheated on his wife, he didn't think about the family being broken up. Now that he's dying, he thinks of me. Duan Ming, you think of him as a father, but he's a scumbag. You're willing to recognize him as your father, but I'm not."

Hearing Duan Xu's words, Duan Ming's face darkened. The fatherly love he had always been demanding was nothing to Duan Xu.

But no matter what, Duan Ming didn't want Duan Chenglin to die with regrets.

"You must go."

Duan Xu raised his eyebrows, "Why?"

"If you don't go, I will tell Dad about you and Li Guo. He is a dictatorial person, even when he is old. Even if he has cancer, he will definitely intervene if he knows about this. By then, either you will be sent abroad, or Li Guo will be targeted by him."

Duan Ming's words successfully changed Duan Xu's expression. He continued, "You grew up with him before, but you were still young at that time. You probably didn't know that Duan Chenglin's business was not clean and his hands were stained with blood. He certainly won't kill you, but Li Guo is not sure. You are very powerful and can gain a foothold in the capital without the help of the Duan family. But Duan Xu, you are too young now. Can you beat Duan Chenglin?"

"Even if we don't talk about Duan Chenglin, once he dies, the other people in the Duan family who are eyeing the family property will know that the inheritance has been given to you. Will they not take action? If you don't take the initiative to fight for it and don't protect the family property, do you think you can get away with it? Can Li Guo get away with it?"

Duan Ming curled his lips, his smile even had some sympathy, "Some things you can't just say no to. Duan Xu, think about it carefully, I'll wait for you in the hospital at ten o'clock tomorrow."

With a bang, the door was closed.

The capital was shrouded in heavy smog in the early morning, but there were still many people jogging in the park.

Duan Xu sat on a bench in the park. It was half an hour until ten o'clock.

He didn't want to get involved in the big family's financial turmoil. He just wanted to live a good life with Chen Ye and stay together after graduation.

With his long eyelashes drooping, Duan Xu's dark eyes were confused for a moment, and then became determined. Since he wanted to be with Chen Ye, he should clear away all obstacles.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Duan Xu pushed open the door of the hospital ward. Duan Chenglin turned his head and looked at the door excitedly. Duan Ming's heart also settled down. He was still worried that Duan Xu would not come.

Duan Ming stood up from his chair and said, "You guys chat, I'll go out first."

Ever since Duan Xu came in, Duan Chenglin never looked at Duan Ming again. Duan Ming smiled bitterly. As expected, he was just a stain in Duan Chenglin's heart.

Duan Xu walked to the bedside and his eyes fell on Duan Chenglin. Duan Chenglin was very excited, but after all, he had been a big shot in the business world for many years, so he just said, "Come on, sit down."

Duan Xu didn't sit down, and Duan Chenglin didn't urge him. He just kept talking to himself: "You've grown up, and you're exactly like me when I was young. Is your mother okay?"

Duan Chenglin had the face to see Duan Xu, but he didn't have the face to see Hu Bing.

"Very well, I got married a few years ago and have a daughter."

Duan Chenglin was in a trance for a moment, "Okay."

"Dad asked you to come here to tell you that I was the one who let you and your mom down. For so many years, your mom didn't let me see you, and I was afraid to see you, too."

Duan Chenglin had never surrendered or bowed his head in his life, but now that he was dying, he felt that there was nothing he couldn't say.

"The people I feel most guilty about in my life are your mother and you. I won't be alive for long. After I die, 10% of the shares will be given to your mother, and the rest will be given to you."

Before Duan Xu could speak, Duan Chenglin said, "Don't refuse. I have worked hard all my life, and these things are meant for you. I have found someone specifically for you, and they will train you and teach you how to run a company."

"After I die, your second uncle and third uncle will probably take action. You should deal with them carefully and don't let the family business I earned get away with them."

Duan Xu was very quiet and didn't say anything. Duan Chenglin said, "I know you hate me and don't want to acknowledge me as your father. But no matter how great the hatred is, it will end when I die. Come and burn incense for me every New Year and festival in the future."

It started to drizzle outside the window, and the air suddenly became humid and heavy. Duan Chenglin coughed a few times. He raised his hand to take the water on the table, but his hand had no strength.

A white porcelain water cup was handed to him. Duan Chenglin looked up at the expressionless Duan Xu and his eyes turned red.

"Xiao Xu, can you call me dad?"

Duan Xu put the water cup in Duan Chenglin's hand and said, "Nothing else, I'll leave first."

He would never recognize Duan Chenglin, because that would be a betrayal of his eight-year-old self and also a betrayal of Hu Bing.

Duan Chenglin held the cup tremblingly, watching Duan Xu's back disappear.

Soon, Duan Xu graduated, and after attending Duan Chenglin's funeral, he officially took over Duan Chenglin's company.

As soon as he took over the company, countless open and covert arrows were shot at Duan Xu. His so-called relatives, one by one, wanted to bring him down and swallow up the entire Duan Group.

In the business game of a big family, the most terrifying thing is not losing all the assets, but the possibility of even losing one's life after failing to win a fight with others.

On the second day after Duan Xu joined the company, his car was loaded with explosives. Fortunately, Duan Xu had something urgent to do and did not get in the car, so the time bomb in the car only exploded in the garage.

These movie-like scenes were played out around Duan Xu every day, and Duan Xu gradually got used to it.

Duan Xu thought about retaliating in the same way, but when he thought of Chen Ye, he gave up. There is no end to revenge. Duan Xu is not afraid of being retaliated against, but he is afraid of implicating Chen Ye.

So in the end Duan Xu just used compliant legal means to resolve all the open and covert attacks.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, but Chen Ye had to do an internship during the summer vacation. The internship was not found by Chen Ye, but by Zhou Ying who asked someone to find it for him in Tianhe City.

In the morning, Zhou Ying poured a bowl of cold porridge into Chen Ye's bowl, raised his hand and patted Chen Ye on the back with a "dong" sound, "You are hunched over, straighten your back."

Chen also straightened his back. "It's too hot. Can I not go to the internship? Can't I stay at home and take care of Xiaobai?"

After pouring dog food into Xiaobai's bowl, Zhou Ying said, "Xiaobai is under my care. Don't even think about being lazy. And if you're idle, I don't know what kind of trouble you'll cause me."

Chen also knew that Zhou Ying was worried that he would go find Duan Xu.

After taking a sip of porridge, Chen Ye's anxious heart calmed down. "How could I do anything wrong? Didn't you always praise me as the most obedient in front of the eldest and second aunts?"

Zhou Ying sneered, "Of course I only say good things about you in front of outsiders. I don't know what kind of person you are. Eat quickly, don't waste time, and go to work after you finish eating."

After finishing the porridge, Chen Ye took the house key and went out.

Chen Ye had just passed his driving test and was not very confident about driving, so he staggered to the bus stop.

The sun overhead was scorching mercilessly. It was only 7:30 in the morning, but the weather looked almost the same as at noon.

Chen Ye also kept pulling at his short sleeves, pulling and closing them, in this way giving himself some fresh air.

A white McLaren stopped in front of Chen Ye. The window slowly rolled down. Chen Ye squinted and looked inside, and saw a familiar face.

"elder brother?"

Chen was also a little surprised. Shouldn't Duan Xu be in the capital?

"boarding."

Chen Ye opened the car door and got in. Duan Xu took out a piece of paper and wiped Chen Ye's forehead, "So much sweat."

"It's so hot. Mom forced me to go to work. I told her that I would have a lot of internship time in my senior year, but she didn't listen. Dad didn't help me this time either."

Listening to his mumbling, Duan Xu's lips curved up. He reached out and tidied up Chen Ye's messy hair. "I pick you up every day. The car won't be hot with air conditioning."

Duan Xu opened a bottle of water that Chen Ye liked to drink and handed it to his lips, and Chen Ye drank it from his hand.

"Don't you need to go back to the capital?"

Ever since Duan Xu took over the company, he has been very busy. Chen also called him several times, and Duan Xu was still working late at night.

Duan Xu tightened the bottle cap and said, "I'm on a business trip here recently to handle the company's business."

In fact, he spent a lot of effort to deal with the affairs in the capital and squeeze out time to go to Tianhe.

Chen nodded, "That's great. I won't be bored here alone anymore."

Duan Xu's car stopped at the red light. "Didn't you play games until midnight yesterday? Are you bored?"

"I'm bored without you around," Chen Ye kissed Duan Xu on the side of his face, "Do you miss me?"
