Chapter 371 Daydreaming
Chapter 371 Daydreaming
Duan Hongji was finally buried.
The Duan family announced that Duan Hongji died of drowning. But this could only fool outsiders. The police already knew that the Duan family also participated in the auction, so they would always call the Duan family for questioning.
In this incident, Duan Chengfang showed an iron fist that was no less than his father's. No one knew how he managed it, but a few days later, it was concluded that Duan Hongji died from accidental drowning.
The Duan family's stock fluctuated briefly, but was soon stabilized by Duan Chengfang. He was a qualified helmsman and the best legacy that Duan Hongji left to the Duan Group.
These are all stories for later. At least at this moment, the Duan family was busy and exhausted. After the funeral was finally over, Jiang Huiyi fell ill again.
Duan Chengfang was busy stabilizing the Duan Group, and Duan Ye began to study hard during this holiday. The two brothers had their own things to do. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, in short, the burden of taking care of Jiang Huiyi fell on Duan Jizhi.
Wu Ma once wondered if this was inappropriate, after all, Duan Jizhi and Jiang Huiyi were of similar age. But since the host family didn't care, she, as an aunt, naturally wouldn't worry about it.
Jiang Huiyi woke up from a confusing dream.
In the dream, Duan Hongji loved her very much, but she ignored him and was thinking about running away with Duan Jizhi.
After waking up from the dream, Jiang Huiyi felt absurd. How could she bear to ignore Duan Hongji? If Duan Hongji was willing to give her a little bit of good face, she would even have sweet dreams.
The door opened and Duan Jizhi walked in with medicine.
This medicine was prescribed to Jiang Huiyi by an old Chinese doctor, who said it could dispel heart heat and break miasma, and was most suitable for Jiang Huiyi at this time.
The medicine was bitter, but Jiang Huiyi didn't care. She had already experienced the most bitter things and the most bitter moments in her life, and everything else was just a trivial change.
Duan Jizhi lowered his eyes and placed the medicine on Jiang Huiyi's bedside.
"It's time to take medicine." Duan Jizhi said softly.
Jiang Huiyi took a look at the black medicine, then looked at Duan Jizhi who was standing in front of her.
Duan Jizhi had lost a lot of weight and looked quite haggard. He was completely different from the refined and elegant elite he once was.
Jiang Huiyi wanted to remember the scene when she and Duan Jizhi first met, but after thinking about it, she could only find Duan Hongji's cold and impatient eyes in the corner of her memory.
Jiang Huiyi picked up the medicine bowl and suddenly remembered something: "Where is Feng Xiaobao?"
After all, Feng Baobao is Jiang Huiyi's friend, so Jiang Huiyi still has to take care of her child.
Duan Jizhi smiled bitterly and said, "He was picked up by Feng Baobao two days ago. When he left, he was crying and making a fuss about wanting to see Xiaoshu."
Fu Dongshu's disappearance did not cause any stir in the Duan family. Compared with Duan Hongji's death, everything else had to take a back seat. Duan Chengfang did privately send some people to look for his unreliable uncle, but there has been no news so far.
It's just like this in these troubled times.
Jiang Huiyi nodded: "Yes, the funeral was so busy that I really couldn't take care of him."
After saying this, the room fell into a thick silence. Duan Jizhi didn't know what to say to Jiang Huiyi, and Jiang Huiyi was obviously not interested in talking to Duan Jizhi.
"Tsk tsk, why is the atmosphere so tense?" Zhao Ruoming frowned and said, "This doesn't fit Jiang Huiyi's personality!"
Zhao Ruoming was sitting in an office at this moment, watching the remote live broadcast of Jiang Huiyi and Duan Jizhi.
The only thing missing from Jiang Huiyi's book is the label "substitute literature". Zhao Ruoming has been keeping an eye on Jiang Huiyi's actions these past two days.
Based on his understanding of Jiang Huiyi, Zhao Ruoming believed that something would definitely happen between Jiang Huiyi and Duan Jizhi. Once it happened, Zhao Ruoming could forcefully attribute Jiang Huiyi's actions to "finding a substitute."
As a result, three days later, Jiang Huiyi and Duan Jizhi were so self-disciplined and polite! They were so innocent! They kept their distance from each other!
Zhao Ruoming couldn't sit still any longer.
When she planned Duan Hongji's death, she left some room for maneuver and did not leave Duan Hongji's body behind, just in case Jiang Huiyi did not follow the routine.
If Jiang Huiyi had not completed the label of "stand-in literature" after Duan Hongji's death, Zhao Ruoming would have given full play to his subjective initiative and directed Duan Hongji to crawl out of the sea and continue moving forward!
No matter whether it is a medical miracle or a miracle of life, even if Duan Hongji has to be turned into a slime, he must complete this disappointing journey.
Of course, this was just the worst-case scenario. Zhao Ruoming had originally been confident. How could she not know who Jiang Huiyi was? The kind of literature that uses stand-in characters might sound harsh when paired with other people, but it was just right for Jiang Huiyi!
But now...
Zhao Ruoming muttered, "No way, no way, do you really want me to come back to life?"
As soon as Duan Hongji’s funeral was over, Duan Hongji himself crawled from the Golden Sea to the door of the Duan family—"The Name of the Miracle is Father"?
Fortunately, Zhao Ruoming's worries were unnecessary.
In the picture, Jiang Huiyi finished drinking the medicine and put down the medicine bowl, and Duan Jizhi was about to go out with the tray.
"Wait." Jiang Huiyi suddenly said.
"..." Duan Jizhi stopped, "Anything else?"
Duan Jizhi couldn't bring himself to call Jiang Huiyi mother, but he also couldn't call her "Huihui" with peace of mind.
Jiang Huiyi said, "Help me get the things in the drawer."
Duan Jizhi pursed his lips and opened the drawer. There were only a few pieces of paper in the drawer, and Duan Jizhi took them all out.
Duan Jizhi originally didn't intend to read these things, but sight is something that can't be controlled just by wanting to. His eyes fell on the thin paper, and he wanted to move away, but he froze when he saw the handwriting on the paper clearly.
Who can tell him what the "agreement" and "contract" above mean?
Why are parties A and B called Duan Hongji and Jiang Huiyi respectively?
Duan Jizhi felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen, and he almost stared a hole through the thin piece of paper.
"Have you finished reading it?" Jiang Huiyi asked, "Bring it to me if you have finished reading it."
Duan Jizhi raised his head, suddenly took two steps forward and held Jiang Huiyi's hand: "What does this mean?"
"That's what you saw." Jiang Huiyi curled the corners of her mouth slightly.
"You and father, you and father are..." Duan Jizhi even slowed down his breathing, and there was something frightening in his eyes.
"It's fake." Jiang Huiyi and Duan Jizhi looked at each other, "Just as you thought, at the very beginning, he and I were just a boss and a subordinate."
"Then...what happened next?"
Hope ignited in Duan Jizhi's eyes. As long as Jiang Huiyi was willing to speak, as long as Jiang Huiyi said it, he was willing to believe it.
"Later, we were still superior and subordinate." Jiang Huiyi said calmly, "It's just that I fell in love with him."
The light in Duan Jizhi's eyes went out.
Jiang Huiyi smiled and asked, "Do you know why I fell in love with him?"
Duan Jizhi's lips moved: "Why?"
Jiang Huiyi gently stroked the contracts, as if she was stroking Duan Hongji's face.
“When you insulted and humiliated me, it was he who gave me the meaning of existence;
“When you treated me coldly and ignored me, it was he who gave me the most sincere care;
“When you were as timid as a mouse and unwilling to acknowledge our relationship, he personally supported me in the Jiang family;
"When I needed you the most, he was always by my side..."
With every sentence Jiang Huiyi said, Duan Jizhi's face turned paler. When Jiang Huiyi finished her last sentence, Duan Jizhi's face was as pale as paper.
Jiang Huiyi looked directly into Duan Jizhi's eyes: "Duan Jizhi, you were the one who pushed me to his side. You are the instigator of all this."
Zhao Ruoming was shocked: "Jiang Huiyi has become successful! On the first day of her marriage, she was stunned by Duan Jizhi's PUA, but now she has learned to use his own weapons to attack his shield!"
Jiang Huiyi smiled bitterly: "I am in this day, all thanks to you. You once said you hated me, and now, I, the one you hated the most, have met such an ending. Are you satisfied?"
"Huihui!" Duan Jizhi could no longer control his surging emotions and pressed her shoulders. "No! I love you, those were just words said in anger - Huihui! I am willing to die for you, Huihui..."
Jiang Huiyi shook her head in disappointment: "Look, you don't even care about my pain. When he was here, he never hurt me."
Duan Jizhi loosened his hand as if he had been scalded.
Duan Jizhi was at a loss, repeating like a child: "Huihui... I'm sorry... Huihui, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"That's it." Jiang Huiyi smiled calmly, "The contract is about to end. I should go and accompany him."
"No! You can't do this to me!" Duan Jizhi was startled and gently held Jiang Huiyi down again, "Why are you so cruel to me? You can't make me dependent on you and then leave me!"
Jiang Huiyi looked at Duan Jizhi without saying a word.
Duan Jizhi knelt down on one knee in front of her, looking at Jiang Huiyi at eye level: "What else can I do for you? What else can I use to keep you?"
Jiang Huiyi shook her head.
"There must be a way!" Duan Jizhi shouted, "You loved me so much... Now he is dead, we are just, just back to the beginning..."
"Snapped!"
Jiang Huiyi gave Duan Jizhi a loud slap in the face.
Duan Jizhi was hit so hard that his face tilted to the side, but he did not get angry. Instead, he said in ecstasy: "Huihui! You still have me in your heart, you still have me in your heart, right? If you had no feelings for me, you wouldn't be so angry!"
Jiang Huiyi looked at Duan Jizhi's face with disgust. The heat from the man's hands made her almost nauseous.
But when she saw the other person's eyebrows and eyes that were three-quarters similar to Duan Hongji, Jiang Huiyi's heart suddenly softened again.
Jiang Huiyi slowly pulled her hand out.
"As long as you can keep me here, are you willing to do anything?" Jiang Huiyi said slowly.
"Of course!" Duan Jizhi's fanatical eyes followed Jiang Huiyi's face. He loved her. This love was written into her character and could not be changed.
Jiang Huiyi suddenly laughed.
This smile was very moving, like the melting of ice and snow and the blooming of spring flowers. Duan Jizhi was stunned.
Jiang Huiyi said softly: "Turn those papers to the last page."
Duan Jizhi did it without hesitation. As long as he could keep Jiang Huiyi, he would not mind even if the other party asked him to drink arsenic.
When he saw the contents of the last page clearly, Duan Jizhi was stunned again.
On the last piece of paper, there were four big words written on it: Inheritance Agreement.
Duan Jizhi's hands trembled. He read the paper quickly and looked at Jiang Huiyi: "What does this mean?"
"It's just as you see." Jiang Huiyi smiled very sweetly, even with a bit of happiness and longing, "The contract between Duan Hongji and I has not ended yet. Not to mention two months, even if it's two days, two hours, or two minutes, it's still not over."
Under Duan Jizhi's astonished gaze, Jiang Huiyi said word by word: "As long as the agreement is not concluded, he will never be able to get rid of me, no matter how long he lives or how many generations he is reborn."
"You are his eldest son, and this agreement should be inherited by you. Please sign it, and I will continue to perform the contract." Jiang Huiyi said with a sweet smile.
Duan Jizhi couldn't even move his eyeballs.
This is ridiculous!
No, it's not just ridiculous, it's crazy!
This is more than just crazy, this is simply... simply...
Duan Jizhi couldn't think of any words to describe the madness of Jiang Huiyi's behavior. He tried hard to look Jiang Huiyi in the eye. Jiang Huiyi's eyes were gentle, peaceful, and happy, but there was no element of joking.
——She is serious!
She really wants Duan Jizhi to sign this crazy contract!
Duan Jizhi's mind was burning, clamoring for him to stand up and leave this place full of lunatics. This was too crazy. He was Duan Jizhi, a child of destiny. Even if he lost the right to inherit the Duan family, he still had a bright future.
He has his dignity.
Duan Jizhi opened his mouth, but no sound came out the first time. He spoke the second time:
"Will you stay if I sign?"
His voice was as hoarse as a broken gong.
"Of course." Jiang Huiyi gently stroked the snow-white paper. "Look, I'm the Party B. I've already signed."
Duan Jizhi shut his mouth.
Jiang Huiyi took out a pen from the pillow and handed it to Duan Jizhi: "Here. If you don't want to write, fingerprints will do."
Duan Jizhi took the pen that weighed more than a thousand pounds and pressed the tip of the pen. This small action almost exhausted all his strength.
Jiang Huiyi's voice was filled with countless temptations: "As long as I write your name, my relationship with the Duan family will be forever unbreakable. I can stay in the Duan family forever, and stay by your side forever."
The seven words "stay by your side forever" stimulated Duan Jizhi's nerves, and he picked up the pen and wrote the word "Duan".
No, it can't be like this. It shouldn't be like this. This is wrong.
Jiang Huiyi said softly, "Write. You are all I have now."
This sentence made Duan Jizhi forget everything. When he came to his senses, Duan Jizhi's name was already printed in black and white.
Jiang Huiyi couldn't wait to take the paper away from Duan Jizhi's pen and carefully checked the agreement and signature.
After the inspection, Jiang Huiyi clapped her hands happily like a little girl who had found a toy she liked.
"Okay!"
Duan Jizhi's thin lips trembled and he threw the pen to the ground dejectedly.
Duan Jizhi remained kneeling on one knee. After Jiang Huiyi folded the agreement and put it away, she glanced at Duan Jizhi and suddenly hugged him.
Duan Jizhi's body stiffened for a moment.
Jiang Huiyi closed her eyes.
Jiang Huiyi tightened her embrace and murmured happily: "Aji, Aji... We can finally be together forever..."
Duan Jizhi closed his eyes tightly.
Finally, he seemed to give up resistance, slowly embraced Jiang Huiyi, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yi Yi..."
