osses under him. Even back when we joined forces with several other families to deal with the Ye family, he could wisely choose to give up the then-prosperous Ye Wu Dao. Now, he can even put aside his...These days, Duan Xiang has been having a dream almost every night.

Nightmare.

In her dream, she repeatedly saw the scene of being broken-legged by Li Nanshan on the Great Wall.

No one likes having nightmares, especially these kinds of nightmares.

Duan Xiang, naturally, also knew this. He understood that to avoid such a nightmare, there were only two options.

First, she died.

After a person dies, they no longer dream.

Second, Li Nanfang died.

As long as Li Nanshan died, Duan Xiang, who had avenged her great hatred, could be sure. In the future, whenever she dreamed, she would only wake up laughing from her dream, instead of like now, always screaming in terror and suddenly opening her eyes to find herself lying in her bed at home, not on the Great Wall, with cold sweat dripping from her forehead.

It goes without saying that Duan Xiang naturally favored the second option.

Is she the only one who can take down Li Nanshan

To kill Li Nanshan was, for Duan Xiang, seemingly more difficult than suicide.

Oh no! It's so hard!

Duan Xiang also firmly believed that she would one day achieve her heart's desire.

Even if Li Ren渣 inexplicably suffers from amnesia, changes his name to Ye Shen, and becomes the son-in-law of the Duan family.

"I'll let you have your moment in the sun for now. But I will find a way to make you pay eventually."

Slowly pushing his chair, Duan Xiang walked at the end of the crowd, staring fixedly at Li Nanfang's back beside Old Duan. He said to himself in his heart.

"Oh, Xiang'er, you should go back to your room and rest first. I'll tell the old master that you have an injury on your leg and can't accompany Duan's new son-in-law."

Lao Wu, who has always been by his daughter's side, of course knew what she was thinking. He sighed with a downcast face.

Compared to the daughters, Lao Wu's family is a bystander.

No matter how much she wished for it, and no matter how ruthless her methods, she wouldn't dare to take advantage of "home-field advantage" to cause Li Nanzhang to die mysteriously.

Although Lao Wu's family is known for being arrogant, they are not stupid people.

When she saw Old Duan personally greet them, she knew she couldn't help her daughter fulfill her wish and took the opportunity to slap the face of Old Fourth's family.

Because Li Nanfang held a unique position of importance within the entire Duan family.

If the fifth family did away with Li Nánfāng to avenge their daughter's revenge — that would be the end for the Dali Duan clan.

Could the shadowy power behind Li Nanfang just let him die at the hands of the Duan family without making a single move

Okay.

Even if those people didn't utter a single word, what about Li Ren渣's legally married wife and his fiancee

They were two factions, and neither could be compared to the power of Dali Duan clan.

No matter how powerful the Duan clan of Dali was, they couldn't withstand the relentless attacks from those two forces.

Thus, the Dali Duan clan would collapse like a tall building during an earthquake.

Without the Duan family, what is there left of Duan Lao Wu and his family

Then, it's not about letting others decide how to handle you.

Therefore, Lao Wu's family was very clear that Li Nanshan absolutely could not have an accident at the Duan family. They also hoped that their daughter could be more open-minded and prioritize the current situation.

A gentleman takes revenge; ten years is not too long.

"Mom, I'm fine. You go ahead and busy yourself. Don't worry about me. Your absence would give some people the opportunity to spread rumors in front of Grandpa."

Duàn Xiāng raised his head to glance at his mother, forced a smile, and pushed his armchair toward the side. "I'm going over there to get some fresh air. Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Well, good thinking. Sigh."

Old Fifth let out a sigh and quickly chased after the person ahead.

Only after everyone had entered the inner gate of the mountain lodge did Duan Xiang urge Qin Han to his chair and head west.

To the west was a small park, not very large. Inside, it was filled with high-quality tea flowers.

He forced himself to withdraw from his hatred for Li Nanshan, and began analyzing the purpose of these cars and who was coming.

Knock knock.

His phone suddenly rang, startling Duan Xiang who was deep in thought.

The number displayed on the phone call was an unknown number.

Duan Xiang directly refused.

But soon, the cell phone rang again.

Duan Xiang was annoyed. After picking up, he immediately asked, "Who is this"

"Duan Xiang, Duan Er Miss, is that you"

A suave, magnetic male voice emanated from the cell phone.

"Yes. My Duan Xiang, who are you"

Duàn Xiāng was taken aback, his tone softening slightly.

Since the other party could call out her name, it proved that she hadn't dialed the wrong number.

"Sorry for calling so late."

The man first apologized before introducing himself: "My name is Yue Qingke."

"Yue Qingke"

Du Xiang furrowed her brow and said from the wrist, "I don't know you."

She didn't actually know Yue Qingke.

As an outstanding figure among the third generation of the Yue family, Duan Xiang had never heard of Yue Qingke's name. This wasn't because she was arrogant.

...but because Yue Qingke's prior "fame" was actually a bit low.

Over the past few years, when people mention the Yue family's prominent figures, besides the highly respected Elder Yue, it's the Yue Lingcheng brothers and the young mistress Long Chengcheng.

Regardless of how unreliable the Yue family brothers might be, they are undoubtedly the second generation of the renowned Yue Family.

Especially Yue Lin City, it was once home for a period of time.

Duan Xiang knew about Longcheng City because she was too domineering. Yue Qingke could only hide in the shadow of her halo—every successful woman has a man silently contributing behind her, that's what it means.

After hearing Duan Xiang's words, Yue Qingke felt a little embarrassed and could only introduce again: "My father is Yue Lincheng."

When he mentioned Yue Lingsheng, Duan Xiang suddenly realized: "Ah, so it's Yue Wo, Master Yue! I wonder what brings you to see me at this time"

Just barely, Duan Xiang almost blurted out the three words "Yue Wona" (嶽窩囊).

Even Yue WANG’s name, or her nickname "Longcheng's Young Mistress," was given to her during the time she was a young mistress in the Yue family. When people spoke of her husband, they used this "honorific" title.

"Heh heh, important stuff."

Yue Qingke smiled awkwardly again, then said seriously: "That's it. I want to ask Miss Duan Er, do you have a sweetheart now"

"What"

Duan Xiang was stunned again.

If it were someone else, after asking Duan Xiang this question, she would definitely retort, "Damn! Who the hell are you Do I have a crush on someone, it's none of your business. Who the hell are you to care so much!"

But the other party was Yue Qingke.

Even though he was looked down upon as a spineless weakling, first mistreated by his wife and now severely beaten by a mistress, he was after all the third generation direct descendant of the renowned Yue family of Jinghua.

And Duan Xiang also seemed to have heard it mentioned last time he attended Yue Zichong's wedding, that after Yue Qingke divorced Long Chengcheng, his masculine aura exploded.

So, even though she was very unhappy with Yue Qingke's abrupt question, she had to bear it.

It should be known what Duan Xiang was thinking at this time. Yue Qingke, slowly explained: “Miss Duan Er, please don’t misunderstand me. The reason I dared to ask you this question is that after thinking about it for a long time, I finally gathered my courage to call you tonight.”

Duan Xiang pursed his lips and said, "Tell me more."

"We have a common enemy."

When Yue Qingke said this, his tone was unusually solemn.

“Master Yue, I don’t understand what you mean.”

Yue Qingke said to himself, "Li Nanfang."

"Li, Li Nanshan"

Duan Xiang's eyebrows shot up sharply.

Every time she heard someone mention Li scum's name, she would have this reaction.

Yue Qingke did not speak again.

This was because he knew very well that he had to give Duan Xiang some time to digest what he had said.

After ten or so seconds, Duan Xiang spoke: “What grudge do you have against Li Nanshan”

She didn't ask Yue Qingke how she knew she saw Li Nanshan as an enemy.

Duan Xiang, the second oldest of the Four Phoenixes of the Duan clan, had his leg broken by Li Ren渣 on the Great Wall. This is not a secret in this circle.

Given Yue Qingke's status and position, finding out this information would be very easy.

She only wanted to know how Yue Qingke came to regard Li Nanfang as an enemy.

Although Li Rensha's fiancee caused shame to the Yue family, he hadn't officially become Yuejia's son-in-law yet. Therefore, Yue Qingke didn't need to be so serious and treat him as an enemy.

Yue Qingke retorted, "I think Miss Duan Er should know that I have already divorced Long Chengcheng, right"

This matter, within Duan Xiang's circle, was no secret.

She hummed softly in response, and Yue Qingke asked again, "Then you know, why did I divorce Long Chengcheng"

"How do I know"

Duang Xiang was not fond of Yue Qingke's way of speaking, and casually replied before suddenly realizing: "Could it be that Li Nanfang instigated the two of you to divorce—no, that's not right. He's just a scum, at most he is just the fiance of your current homeowner, he doesn't have the ability to influence your marital status."

He has some.

Yue Qingke's voice suddenly became harsh: "He cheated on me."

"Huh"

Duān Xiāng was stunned.

In modern society, one spouse cheating on the other isn't exactly an extraordinary thing. It wouldn't be accurate to say it's commonplace, but people certainly wouldn't be surprised to hear about it.

Duanyang was astonished because Yue Qingke and Long Chengcheng's identities were not those of ordinary couples.

Without even asking, Duan Xiang knew that Yue Qingke's marriage to the Dragon City lord was a result of a union between their families.

As for whether they could fall in love, Hónggēn couldn't say if their families' potential marriage alliance was important.

So even when Duan Xiang heard that Yue Qingke and the other had divorced, he still thought it was an internal conflict between the two families.

But what they never expected in their dreams was that their divorce was because Li Nanfang had cheated on Yue Qingke.

Even after he sobered up a bit, Duan Xiang still felt that Yue Qingke's divorce because Li Renshu had cheated on him was an overreaction. He thought Yue Qingke was being too dramatic to disregard the cooperation between their families.

As soon as she had this thought, Yue Qingke spoke again: "Not only that, but Longcheng's bastard also gave birth to a son."

Duàn Xiāng's lips twitched upward suddenly.

If saying that Longcheng City colluded with Li Renzhao, putting a big hat on Yue Qingke, something he could still forgive for the sake of the overall situation.

Then, the fact that Longcheng City and Li Rensha had a bastard child together was something that any man could not bear.

especially aristocratic families that place the greatest emphasis on lineage.

Yue Qingke's wife let him "be a happy father" afterward, they only divorced, and did not kill the adulterous couple Long Chengcheng and Li Ren渣. This already proves he is very magnanimous.

Of course, he can't be too petty either.

After all, both the husband and mistress are not easy to mess with. Yue Qingke is also notorious for being a wimp. Being able to muster the courage to divorce Longcheng is already quite remarkable.

"Sorry."

After Duan Xiang came to his senses, he stammered, “But I don’t understand, Mr. Yue, how could you say these things to me”

"This is the second thing I wanted to say."

Yue Qingke's first thing was to let Duan Xiang believe that they had a common enemy.

"What is it"

"I would like to propose to Miss Duan personally."
