Duan Wenzhuo sipped on her tea and felt that it was a little cold. She looked at the Duan Clan couple with mixed feelings.

Tang Hongbo was not someone that she could casually mess with. She knew that people who did business had tens of millions of dollars.

"Duan Wenzhuo, you mean you are not willing to help us? Don't forget, how did you, Mrs. Tang, get your position? If it wasn't for my daughter, and not the Duan Clan, you still don't know where you are right now, and how could there be someone as ungrateful as yourself. The Duan Clan is your benefactor, and now that we're in trouble, you're going to stand by and watch? "What an ingrate." Mrs. Duan's beautiful face was filled with a sinister expression.

Besides this surname, the Duan Clan had never given her anything, so what kind of benefactor could she be considered?

Only, Duan Wenzhuo did not say those words out loud. She knew, because she knew that to them, what she said was not important. What was important was whether she would help or not with today's matter.

After Duan Wenzhuo finished listening to Mrs. Duan, she turned to look at Segment Father. Her face was gloomy, as if she had agreed with Mrs. Duan's words.

She couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She knew it was going to be like this, but she still felt more or less disappointed.

"Wenzhuo, your aunt is right. Even if we're begging you, help us out." The Segment Father said.

Duan Wenzhuo inexplicably felt a little angry. They did not have much interaction in the first place, and now that they could say such words, she felt that these people were sick.

Duan Wenzhuo's expression immediately turned cold. Looking at Mrs. Duan, this woman looked to be extremely flirtatious, she was indeed more beautiful than her mother, but no matter how beautiful she was, it was useless. In her heart, no matter how beautiful she was, it was all in vain.

A person being ugly from the bottom of his heart was the most terrifying thing.

"I'm sorry, I really can't help you. Please go back." Duan Wenzhuo said with a cold voice.

Segment Father's face changed, just as he was about to speak, he heard Old Lin's voice.

"Ma'am, sir just called and said he'll be home in five minutes and asked if you'd like to go to dinner with him." Old Lin stood respectfully at the side and said at a moderate pace.

Duan Wenzhuo suspiciously looked at Old Lin, who immediately gave her a look. Duan Wenzhuo immediately understood as she said with a faint smile.

"Alright, I understand."

When the Duan Clan couple heard that Tang Hongbo wanted to come back, they could only get up and take their leave.

"Wenzhuo, no matter what, I am still your father. I hope that you can help me this once." Segment Father said before he left.

Duan Wenzhuo did not nod her head or shake it. Seeing how unyielding she was, they could only leave.

This torment gave Duan Wenzhuo a headache, she did not care about what help they said at all.

He turned around and thanked Old Lin.

"Madam, actually, you don't have to take their words to heart. Just say something that you shouldn't have said. Madam, just ignore them in the future." Old Lin looked at Duan Wenzhuo and spoke as if he was comforting her.

Duan Wenzhuo knew that he was afraid that he would be hurt. Although it wasn't really about whether he would be hurt or not, he just felt speechless.

She was like a child making a ruckus, but she was in no mood or obligation to coax them.

"I know, thank you, Uncle Lin." Duan Wenzhuo said with a smile.

Ever since she came to the Tang Clan, Old Lin and Aunt Liu had taken care of her, so she would not hide her identity from them. Compared to the Duan Clan, they seemed to be her parents.

After the commotion at the Duan Clan, the sky gradually darkened. The first person who came back was Duan Wenyu, whom he hadn't seen for a few days.

Seeing Duan Wenyu walk in dejectedly, Duan Wenzhuo was shocked. She had not seen her for a few days, how could she become so haggard?

"Sister Wenyu, are you alright?" Duan Wenzhuo hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"I'm fine." Duan Wenyu said indifferently.

"Where have you been these past few days? You didn't even take my hand, did you know that I'm going to die?" Duan Wenzhuo pulled Duan Wenyu's hand and asked worriedly.

"I really have nothing to do, so I'll go rest first." Duan Wenyu said as she struggled free from Duan Wenzhuo's hands, and turned to walk towards her own bedroom.

Duan Wenzhuo watched her back, a little worried.

Something must have happened, or Duan Wenyu wouldn't have that expression of despair.

Duan Wenzhuo was a little helpless, since she didn't want to say it, then she shouldn't force her.

When Tang Hongbo called, he was already finishing his meal, meaning to tell her not to wait for him to eat. He was in a meeting, so he would be back later.

Duan Wenzhuo looked at the table, and saw the leftovers. She silently said in her heart, There was no need to wait to begin with.

She was the only one eating dinner, and it was inevitable that she would feel a little lonely. In the end, she thought about it and decided to ask Aunt Liu to make Duan Wenyu some porridge.

The door was locked and the inside of the room was completely dark. Duan Wenzhuo reached out and pushed open the door to Duan Wenyu's room.

"Sister Wenyu, are you there? "Why don't you turn on the lights?" Duan Wenzhuo asked softly.

Duan Wenzhuo fumbled around and turned on the light. The light of the room illuminated Duan Wenyu's pitiful appearance, she sat on the floor, leaned on the bed and covered her face with her hands and started to cry.

Duan Wenzhuo was shocked, she immediately placed the bowl of porridge on the table and went up to ask.

"Sister Wenyu, what's wrong? Why are you crying? " Duan Wenzhuo squatted beside her and asked.

But Duan Wenyu just kept on crying and did not say a word. Duan Wenzhuo could not help but feel anxious.

No matter what the Duan Clan treated her like, she only cared about Duan Wenyu. Although Duan Wenyu was the only one who brought her back, only Duan Wenyu was truly good to her.

Now that she was like this, her heart naturally ached for her.

"Tell me, what happened to Sister Wenyu? Don't cry." Duan Wenzhuo advised gently.

"Wenzhuo, only you can help me now." Duan Wenyu suddenly threw herself into Duan Wenzhuo's embrace.

Duan Wenyu was surprised, had something really happened.

"What is going on? You tell me first. " Duan Wenyu asked softly while holding her.

"Wenzhuo, my dad wants to marry me to the Wang family, but do you know? Those who can get married in the Wang family, they are all past the prime of their lives, what do you think I should do? " Duan Wenyu cried even harder.

Duan Wenzhuo was surprised.

"Why did you suddenly get married?" Duan Wenzhuo asked in confusion.

Although she didn't know what the Wang family was like, she was still a little angry when she heard the news.

Even if she were to marry someone, she shouldn't marry someone whose body was half buried in the ground.

"Haven't you heard of commercial unions? My father has gone berserk. I know I can't help him, but why sacrifice my happiness? " Duan Wenyu cried until she was out of breath.

"Why?" As soon as Duan Wenyu said it, she immediately understood.

Could it be because of the Duan Clan couple coming to find her in the afternoon?

"Wenzhuo, I know I shouldn't have begged you, but only you can help me now. Now that the Duan Clan has a huge funding gap, the only one who can help the Duan Clan is you, no, I should say that the only one who can help me is you." Duan Wenyu wiped her eyes and said resolutely to Duan Wenzhuo.

"B-but … how am I supposed to help you?" Duan Wenzhuo was at a loss for a moment.

Right now, other than the Tang Clan, the only clan that can help the Duan Clan is the Wang Clan which is on par with the Tang Clan. My father said that he would marry me into the Wang Clan so that he could obtain the support of the Wang Clan, but I really do not want to marry him. Duan Wenyu seemed to have taken a lot of determination to say this.

"But, why didn't you say so yourself? I feel that if you were to say it out loud, the probability of winning would be higher." Duan Wenzhuo said indifferently.

I know, but what qualifications do I have to beg him now? After all, you are his wife now, and whatever you say is more useful than me. I know that the Duan Clan is sorry for you, but I know that you have always been a kind person and will not leave the Duan Clan behind or leave me behind, right? Duan Wenyu looked at Duan Wenzhuo with hope all over her face.

"Sister Wenyu, I really …" Duan Wenzhuo looked at her with eyes full of expectation, yet he couldn't say anything after she rejected him.

"Then, let me try." Duan Wenzhuo sighed in her heart.

Duan Wenyu was right, even if she really did leave the Duan Clan alone, she would not leave her alone.

However, the moment she thought of Tang Hongbo, she felt apprehensive in her heart. It wasn't that she was afraid of him, but she just felt that he was an extremely unpredictable person, and was extremely difficult to talk to, let alone ask him for help.

But she had already promised Duan Wenyu, she couldn't go back on her words. Furthermore, she wouldn't just sit by and watch her get married into the Wang Family.

She was still an elder sister after all, he couldn't really let her go and leave her alone, right?

"Really? "Are you really willing to help me?" Duan Wenyu asked happily.

Duan Wenyu could only nod her head.

When Duan Wenzhuo walked out of the room, she did not see Duan Wenyu behind her with a look of contempt.

If it wasn't for the Duan Clan, how could she have pulled down her pride to beg Duan Wenzhuo?

Actually, Duan Wenzhuo's heart was a bit nervous, he didn't know how she should reply to Tang Hongbo, but just as she was thinking about how to do so, she heard the sound of Tang Hongbo's brakes.

He's back.

Tang Hongbo walked into the room reeking of alcohol. He could not help but frown.

"Did you drink?" Duan Wenzhuo's voice made me unhappy.

"Nope." Tang Hongbo responded and turned to go to the bathroom.

Could it be that he could not smell such a strong scent of alcohol? Duan Wenzhuo muttered in her heart.

However, Duan Wenzhuo had wrongly accused him. Tang Hongbo had indeed not drunk any alcohol, but had temporarily gone to a customer's place to accompany him. When a customer toasted him, they had accidentally spilled some on his clothes.

Therefore, he found an excuse to return early.
