Chapter 56 Heavenly Proud Daughter
"I was just about to leave, who cares about your family!"
Xiao Yun replied coldly, with his hands in his pockets, walking past the Tea Table towards the door.
"Don't go, you think you can just leave after coming here? It's not that easy!" Cheng Hu recalled the battle over a week ago at the City of Fragrance Hotel, which still left him feeling uneasy. However, now Xiao Yun was in his own home, and with his father nearby, he arrogantly blocked Xiao Yun's path.
Xiao Yun chuckled lightly, patted him gently on the shoulder, and said amiably, "What’s wrong? Do you want me to stay for dinner? Sure!" The pat was infused with hidden strength; Cheng Hu felt a sharp pain in his shoulder as if someone was trying to dislocate it. He gritted his teeth but managed not to cry out.
As Xiao Yun spoke, he turned around and casually sat down at the dining table, propping one leg up and mimicking Moustache by pulling out a cigarette, lighting it up and taking a puff.
Their conversation left Moustache and Hao Meiyun stunned.
Hao Meiyun approached Cheng Hu and said, "Tiger, do you know him? He is your brother Xiao Yun!"
"He is my brother?" Cheng Hu spat disdainfully, pointing to his own nose. "Did you see that? This country bumpkin actually laid hands on me to steal my girlfriend! This nose was broken by this guy!"
"What? My son was beaten by this little brat?" Moustache slammed the armrest of the sofa angrily and shouted, "You little punk, do you know who I am? I am Cheng Yuanzhao, the chairman of Haitian Company. Who doesn’t treat me with respect? Hitting my son is disrespecting me; you will regret this!"
Xiao Yun sneered coldly, "Cheng Yuanzhao, do you even have any shame left? Have you looked into what kind of person your son is?"
"You..." Cheng Yuanzhao turned to Hao Meiyun and roared, "Look at this illegitimate child; how dare he speak to me like that!"
Hao Meiyun was frightened and didn’t know what to say as she stood in the middle. Blushing, she asked Cheng Hu, "Tiger, do you have some misunderstanding with Xiao Yun? I went to the Feng Family today and only learned that Wushuang was saved by your brother. How could he possibly steal your girlfriend?"
Uh—Feng Wushuang was saved by him? Cheng Yuanzhao was taken aback.
During this time, he had taken Hao Meiyun out of town and only returned to find out that his future daughter-in-law had suddenly fallen ill and died. Later, she had miraculously been brought back to life.
Because he had been busy dealing with some company matters upon returning home, he had planned to visit the Feng Family in a couple of days to find out what exactly happened. He never expected that the person who saved Feng Wushuang would appear in his own home.
Cheng Hu angrily said to Hao Meiyun, "Wushuang was indeed saved by her, but as soon as he woke up, he insisted on marrying Xiao Yun. I suspect he did something during the rescue."
Xiao Yun couldn't help but smirk inwardly, thinking that this guy wasn't as foolish as he seemed.
"Cheng Hu, I've already told you," Xiao Yun habitually curled his lips into a cold smile and said, "I have no interest in Feng Wushuang at all. To be honest, I already have a girlfriend in Galaxy City, and she's much prettier than your Wushuang!"
Hao Meiyun was overjoyed to hear this and turned to Xiao Yun, asking with a smile, "Yun'er, do you really have a girlfriend? Who is she?"
Xiao Yun smiled calmly and naturally replied, "She runs a flower shop and is named Duan Qingxue!"
Hao Meiyun didn't know who Duan Qingxue was, but for Cheng Yuanzhao and Cheng Hu, it felt like a thunderclap out of a clear sky. Both were stunned, their expressions suddenly turning bizarre as they stared at Xiao Yun as if he were a monster.
Who is Duan Qingxue? She is the Heavenly Proud Daughter, the most beloved granddaughter of Duan Haoran. Although no one knew why she left the Duan Family to open a flower shop on the street, she was like a bright moon in the sky—something others could only admire from afar, utterly unattainable.
Cheng Hu chuckled coldly, thinking that this kid must have lost his mind to dare claim that Duan Qingxue was his girlfriend!
"Yun'er, could you possibly invite your girlfriend over to our house?" Hao Meiyun asked. Although she didn't know who Duan Qingxue was, she could tell from the shocked and then disdainful expressions of the father and son that they didn't believe Xiao Yun had such a girlfriend. She hoped that Xiao Yun would bring her over so that they would know her Yun'er wasn't just talking nonsense; everything he said was very real.
"Yeah," Cheng Hu mocked. "If you can talk big, then show us your girlfriend!"
"Kid, who exactly is your girlfriend?" Little Bell chimed in. "I've long been annoyed with this father-son duo. Bring her over and show them what's what!"
Xiao Yun said to Hao Meiyun, "Mom, I'll listen to you. As long as she's free, she'll definitely come!"
Saying this, he took out his phone and dialed Duan Qingxue's number: "Hello, Qingxue..."
"Ah, is this Xiao Yun? Is it really you?" Duan Qingxue's surprised voice came through the phone. "Where have you been these days? I've been worried sick..." Her voice even choked up.
Xiao Yun felt a pang of guilt: "I'm fine; don't worry. My mom wants to meet you!"
...
My mom wants to meet me?
Duan Qingxue put down her phone, momentarily stunned. Hadn't she heard that he was an orphan since childhood? How could a mother suddenly appear out of nowhere?
At that moment, a complex feeling surged within her, leaving her unsure whether to cry or laugh. Xiao Yun's disappearance had nearly shattered her heart. Initially, she thought his vanishing was related to the Duan Family, but later learned from An Yiran that the Duan Family not only had no connection to Xiao Yun's disappearance but was also secretly searching for him.
Duan Qingxue never expected An Yiran to tell her that Xiao Yun was actually her brother, sharing the bloodline of the Duan Family.
How could this be? Duan Qingxue suddenly felt as if the ground had collapsed beneath her!
In the days she had spent with Xiao Yun, she couldn't quite understand it, but there was always a captivating aura about him that made her reluctant to part ways. He wasn't exceptionally handsome, but there was something in his smile that contained a certain realm, often allowing her to forget the troubles of the mundane world. Only when she was with him did she feel like a flower basking in the gentle spring breeze, able to fully bloom and release all its fragrance.
She felt as if she could no longer be without him, and now he had become her brother. This joke from the heavens was far too much.
Clearly, Xiao Yun had no idea about his relationship with the Duan Family; otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a call.
During the conversation, Duan Qingxue agreed to go, but upon reflection, she wondered if it was appropriate for her to do so.
With a sense of loss, she pondered where this mother of his had come from.
At that moment, Duan Qingxue hesitated.
