For the love of Mr. Duan

When they arrived at the Duan family's old house, Duan Huailin took Lu Guo out of the car and followed the butler to the inner hall.

Lu Guo carefully carried the gift for Mr. Duan, and followed closely.Suddenly, he saw the newly built fountain in the other courtyard, so he ran over happily, looking here and there.

When Duan Huailin turned around, Lu Guo had already disappeared.

"Hehe, Mr. Lu is like a child." The butler said with a smile beside him.

Duan Huailin smiled helplessly, walked into the hall, and went to find Grandpa Duan.

Mr. Duan was wearing the new clothes of Mr. Shou Xing, and he was happily watching Peking Opera there.Today is the old man's birthday, and his descendants will come to the old house one after another to celebrate Grandpa Duan's birthday.

Old Man Duan supported his reading glasses, raised his eyes and saw Duan Huailin coming, and quickly asked him to sit down.

Duan Huailin saw that Old Man Duan was still looking back, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong, Grandpa? Who are you looking for?"

Old Man Duan withdrew his gaze and snorted coldly: "Did Lu Guo come with you?"

Before Duan Huailin could reply, the old man leaned on his crutches and said in a strange way: "It's just a good time that Lu Guo doesn't come, so I won't be bothered by chattering."

Seeing his grandfather's duplicity, Duan Huailin hurriedly explained: "Grandpa, Guoguo is here, but he went to see your newly built fountain."

"Oh, that's it." After hearing this, the old man took a long breath and smiled with satisfaction.

"Grandpa! Happy birthday to you!"

Before seeing Lu Guo's figure, he heard a crisp voice echoing in the courtyard.

Holding the gift box, Lu Guo hurried into the house.

"Grandpa, here's a gift for you." Lu Guo said to the old man excitedly, showing his dimples.

After Old Man Duan took the gift box and opened it, he found that it was a stone sculpture of Old Shoushan Mountain from the Qing Dynasty.He pushed his glasses and carefully held the antique in his palm.

"Look at the fineness, the craftsmanship, it's the best."

Hearing the old man's satisfied tone, Lu Guo immediately raised his mouth, showing a proud little expression.

Duan Huailin put his arms around Lu Guo, smiled and said to the old man, "Guo Guo helped you choose for a long time, and now I bought it from an antique collector."

Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly showed a sullen expression, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Holding such an expensive antique, and running so fast, it's reckless."

Listening to his grandfather's "reprimand", Lu Guo's small face immediately became aggrieved.Seeing Lu Guo's shrunken face instantly, the old man knew that he was taking a big joke, so he cleared his throat and said, "Eat some hanging green lychees, I heard from Huailin that you like sweet things."

After finishing speaking, old man Duan took out the lychee himself and handed it to Lu Guo.

Seeing that the old man was no longer angry, Lu Guo took the fruit with a heartless smile and said sweetly, "Thank you, Grandpa."

Seeing Lu Guo eating deliciously, the old man said with distaste: "The supply of hanging green lychees is getting less and less every year. If you want to eat it with your belly open, why don't you bankrupt me?"

Lu Guo was chewing the pulp, and couldn't hear the old man's words clearly, so he blinked and asked, "Huh? Grandpa, what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, eat as much as you like, if you don't have enough." The old man said without changing his expression.

At noon, the descendants of the Duan family arrived one after another. Dozens of people gathered around the old man, chatting with him and watching Peking Opera.

Today, quite a few relatives from the collateral line also came, and everyone tried their best to curry favor with Mr. Duan, hoping that their gifts would outshine others and win his favor.

At this time, a son of cousin Duan Huailin's family squeezed to the old man's side and handed over his gift.

The old man took it with a smile, and put it on the table without opening it, which made Duan Qingxu a little embarrassed.

Although this is a family gathering, the location is still particular.Let's talk about it now, Duan Huailin and Lu Guo sat on both sides of the old man, Duan Huailin's father and second uncle sat opposite, and other collateral relatives sat further out.

Duan Qingxu saw that the old man was so disrespectful, and he couldn't help it for a while.He looked up at Lu Guo beside the old man, a trace of jealousy flashed across his face.

Duan Qingxu asked strangely: "Isn't this Lu Yingdi? What? You also know Grandpa?"

Lu Guo smiled awkwardly, and when he was about to answer, Duan Huailin suddenly said, "She is my wife."

The master went on to say, "She is my grandson-in-law."

Duan Qingxu was taken aback by the two's answers, he quickly smiled at Lu Guo, and returned to his outermost seat awkwardly.

Before the banquet began, Allen ran in with a gift in high spirits.Although Ai Lun is a relative of Duan Huailin's mother's natal family, the Duan family and the Bai family have always had a good relationship, so it is not surprising that Ai Lun came.

However, seeing the people behind Allen, Duan Huailin was a little puzzled.

"Why are you here?" Duan Huailin got up, walked to Li Mingcheng and asked in a low voice.

Li Mingcheng didn't answer, but followed Allen to the old man.

"Hello, Grandpa Duan, Alan and I are here to celebrate your birthday today."

The old man admired Li Mingcheng since he was a child. He was able to come this time, which made the old man very happy.

"Okay, okay, you two have a heart. Yu Yan, Yu Yan, Yu Yan"

Allen took a peek at Duan Huailin's suspicious expression, and said boldly: "Grandpa, Mingcheng actually has another identity when he comes this time. I have been with Mingcheng for almost a year, and this time I mainly want to introduce him to you .”

After hearing this, the old man froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer.But on second thought, didn't my precious grandson also find a male wife?So the old man smiled, said a few words of congratulations, and said nothing more.

Duan Huailin and Lu Guo were like thunder, especially Duan Huailin.

"Famous City Allen, come out with me."

Seeing Duan Huailin's dark face and cold tone, Allen shrank back in fear.

Li Mingcheng put his arms around Alan, patted his shoulder, and signaled him not to be afraid.Watching the two walk out of the yard, Allen hurriedly asked Lu Guo for help.

"Guoguo, go and help me persuade my cousin."

Seeing Alan's eager look, Lu Guo hurriedly got up and followed Alan out.

Duan Huailin came outside the yard, smoked a cigarette, and asked with a serious expression: "How did you two start? How long?"

At this time, Li Mingcheng also changed from his previous idleness, and replied seriously: "It's been almost two years, and you met Lu Guo on his birthday."

"Please, who do you like, but my younger brother?" Duan Huailin felt a headache when he thought of his difficult aunt.

Li Mingcheng looked at Duan Huailin's irritable appearance, and replied with a wry smile: "Emotions can't be controlled."

At this time, Alan and Lu Guo walked over slowly.

Alan looked at his cousin's cold, icy face, softened his tone, and said with a pitiful look: "Cousin, I really like famous cities, so you can help us both."

When Duan Huailin saw Alan's disappointment, he became angry.

"Your mother sent you to me in the first place so that I could take care of you. That's good. If you go back with such a big boyfriend, your mother won't be so angry? It doesn't matter to me whether you two are together or not. I don't care." As for your mother, you can explain it to him yourself."

After hearing this, Allen shook his head in a panic. Now when he thinks of his mother Thunder's methods, he feels guilty.Seeing that his cousin could not count on him, he quickly grabbed Lu Guo and begged: "Cousin, please persuade my cousin, if he doesn't help us, my mother will definitely not agree."

Lu Guo saw that Alan was really emotional, so he slowly moved to Duan Huailin's side, took his hand and begged, "Uncle Duan, just help them. You see, the two of them are sincere when they are together. .”

Seeing this, Li Mingcheng echoed, "Huai Lin, there is not much age difference between me and Ai Lun, not as much as you and Lu Guo—"

Before he finished speaking, he was killed by Duan Huailin's knife-like eyes.

"You don't need to ask me, you two can figure it out." Duan Huailin put his hands in his pockets and replied coldly.

Alan saw that Duan Huailin had made up his mind, so he glanced at Li Mingcheng miserably, and the two of them sighed and returned to the house.

Seeing the helplessness of the two, Lu Guo ran out angrily.

"Guoguo, why are you going?" Duan Huailin saw that Lu Guo ran out, and hurried to keep up.

Outside the old house, Lu Guo crouched in the corner with an unhappy expression on his face.

Duan Huailin squatted down and coaxed: "Guoguo, are you getting angry with me because of the two of them?"

Lu Guo turned his head away unreasonably, and replied bluntly: "Can't you help them? It's not easy for two people to be together for the rest of their lives. It's a critical moment. If you If you don't help them, what if the two of them are separated?"

Duan Huailin sighed and replied: "This matter is not as easy as you think, be obedient, it's cold here, don't get too cold."

Lu Guo reluctantly pulled Duan Huailin's arm away, and continued to hide stubbornly at the base of the wall.

Duan Huailin persuaded him for a long time, but there was nothing he could do about it, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll just help them."

"Really?" When Lu Guo heard it, she immediately showed bright eyes and stood up excitedly.

"Well, really." Duan Huailin put his arms around Lu Guo, ready to enter the house.

"Then I'll tell them right away!" After Lu Guo finished speaking, he ran in like flying.

Looking at the disappearing back, Duan Huailin murmured, "I really owed you in my previous life."

The old man's birthday party ended in the evening.After the others drove away, only Duan Huailin and Lu Guo stayed here overnight.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Duan Huailin saw that Lu Guo hadn't come up yet, and whispered with a smile: "It seems that I finally found someone who is not as good as him in chess."

"General!" The old man clapped his hands and laughed loudly.

Lu Guo sat on the sofa, touched his head, pouted and said, "Grandpa, it's been a night, and I haven't won once."

The old man set up the chess with a smile, and comforted Lu Guo: "It's okay, after all, you just learned it."

Lu Guo yawned thinking about it, cheered up, and started a new round of fighting with the old man.

"Hey, Guoguo, when will you have your wedding with Huailin?"

Lu Guo took a chess piece and replied, "Next month."
