Chapter 74: Chapter 074 You Look a Bit Like Xu Xingchen


    The Bai Family might be considered wealthy, but her son is the offspring of Duan Xiuhao, a member of the Duan Family! Who could say whether he might inherit the great Duan Family assets in the future? The Bai Family girl was beneath her regard.


    Xu Xingchenughed awkwardly, Bai Chuwei definitely wasn’t interested in him, and he couldn’t figure out why Bai Chuwei wanted to study at his ce, especially since he noticed she hadn’t even brought a pen and clearly wasn’t there to study.


    Xu Xingchen knew he was the illegitimate child of the Duan Family, he drew in his lips and whispered softly, “Mom, whether I can return to the Duan Family is still uncertain.”


    The financial power of the Duan Family, the entire family conglomerate, was in the hands of Duan Feihan, the Fourth Master, and it was not certain that he would ept this nephew.


    A ruthless glint shed in Xu Li’s eyes as she watched the juicer crush the oranges, confidently whispering words offort, “Xingchen, if Duan Xingye were gone, you’d be able to return to the Duan Family soon.”


    At those words, Xu Xingchen’s heart skipped a beat, and he thoughtfully looked at his mother.


    Thatment… seemed to carry a deeper meaning.


    In the living room, Bai Chuwei smiled with a meaningful air, her fingers tapping casually on her knee, listening in on the conversation between the two.


    She nudged Duan Xingye’s waist with her elbow, “Duan Xingye, don’t you think something is strange?”


    Duan Xingye didn’t understand, “What’s strange?”


    Bai Chuwei, “I heard Xu Xingchen’s parents are deeply in love, have you seen a family photo in their house? A wedding photo? A family portrait?”


    Duan Xingye was taken aback, indeed!


    He had been to Xu’s home several times but had never seen Xu Xingchen’s father nor any family photographs.


    Bai Chuwei smirked and in a deliberately hushed tone, she provocatively said, “Don’t you think you and Xu Xingchen look a bit alike? Even your names are somewhat simr?”


    Duan Xingye startled, the implication of Bai Chuwei’s words almost made him stand up on the spot.


    By that time, Xu Li and Xu Xingchen had already carried out the fruit and juice, and Duan Xingye hurriedlyposed himself, sitting upright next to Bai Chuwei.


    Xu Li looked at Bai Chuwei, her face beaming with smiles as she made polite conversation.


    If it weren’t for overhearing her conversation with Xu Xingchen in the kitchen, Bai Chuwei, upon seeing Xu Li’s smiling face, would never have guessed Xu Li’s disdain for her.


    Bai Chuwei stood up, hands sped behind her back as she walked around the first-floor hall, smiling, “Aunt Xu, ssmate Xu, your home is beautifully decorated.”


    Xu Li felt satisfied inside, as the house, which she had beseeched Duan Xiuhao for a long while to buy, was decorated to her scrutiny; every item was the very best.


    This young miss from the Bai Family surely hadn’t seen anything of such high quality before.


    Although she was not Duan Xiuhao’s legal wife, her own life was probably much morefortable than that of his official wife.


    Even Duan Xiuhao favored her son, Xingchen, over Duan Xingye!


    Xu Li covered her mouth with a lightugh and said, “It’s alright, I just decorated it casually, ording to my own preferences.”


    Bai Chuwei walked back, one hand resting on Duan Xingye’s shoulder, leaning leisurely on the couch, andughed, “Aunt Xu is too modest, your house is decorated ording to Fengshui Mysticism, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, not only does it help umte wealth, it even keeps men around; it’s not casual at all.”


    Xu Li’s smile abruptly froze on her face, her eyes widening in astonishment as she stared at Bai Chuwei.


    What was this young girl saying?


    How did Bai Chuwei figure out the house’s decor was based on Fengshui?
