"That's right. It's that simple. I know you couldn't figure it out, and I couldn't figure it out at first either. But now I've figured it out. Long Xiaolin's move was so clever!" Duan Ziming smiled bitterly.
"How do you say this?" Duan Jingxiu asked in confusion.
"He knows that if he stalks us about the marriage contract, or even gets more and more stalemate with our Duan family, it will not be of any benefit to them at all. Instead, they will bring us into the Zhuo family's camp. This does not mean
This is not what Long Xiaolin wants to see. So he made a move to retreat and simply let us go and forget about it. 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.
Duan Jingxiu suddenly realized what he said.
"That means 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 of what he will think? What if Long Xiaolin just stabilizes us temporarily and turns around to deal with us slowly?
What should we do?" Duan Jingxiu expressed his worries.
"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 things go by the past. This is the best way for us to maintain the status quo.
Maybe doing this will offend the Zhuo family, but in the final analysis, the Zhuo family and the Long family also have the same worries. They will both worry that too much pressure on us will make us turn to the hostile side. This is a kind of balance. We
We can only stay out of the matter, help each other, and let this balance continue to ensure that the Duan family is in peace!" Duan Ziming took a deep breath and explained slowly.
Duan Jingxiu frowned. Her father's words made sense, and she agreed with this point of view. This was definitely the best choice for the Duan family! If the Duan family could stay out of the matter and not participate in the fight between the Long and Zhuo families, then
It was also a result she was happy to see. But doing so always made her feel a little uncomfortable. She felt like she was on the back burner, as if she was falling on both sides.
More importantly, Duan Jingxiu felt that he had wronged Zhuo Yifan. He swore to them that he would take the Jinshanjiao incident on 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 her father, it is no different from what she made! I was originally grateful to Zhuo Yifan for helping Shui'er's family, but now, it seems that I owe him a huge favor, but I don't
There was no way to repay it. More importantly, she was still feeling a dull pain deep in her heart. As for why it hurt, she couldn't even figure it out.
"Jingxiu! Do you think I'm being a little unkind by doing this?" Duan Ziming couldn't help but sigh when he saw the helpless look on his daughter's face.[
When Duan Jingxiu heard this, he quickly shook his head and said:
"Tell dad, are you really in love with Zhuo Yifan?" Duan Ziming could not understand his daughter's thoughts, so he asked directly.
Duan Jingxiu was stunned when she heard this, and her face suddenly turned pale, as if she heard a question that she couldn't accept.
"Dad, why are you asking this? Don't talk about Wuying's things!" Duan Jingxiu's eyes flickered and he said a little distractedly.
"You are my daughter. As a father, I know a little bit about what you are thinking. Maybe my decision today will make you feel uncomfortable, but please understand me!" Duan Zi sighed with understanding.
