Strongest Guard

In the eyes of many wealthy families in China, Dali and Duan Clan were definitely considered as unusual.    

    

This might have to do with the battle at Last Century. Other than Elder Duan and his son, all the other male disciples had died on the battlefield, leaving behind a bunch of orphans and widows. They had no choice but to let the women fight them, so they had to be very careful with the training of the female members.    

    

However, once there were important benefits that needed to be captured, the core of the Duan Family would not hesitate to sacrifice a certain female member.    

    

Duan Xiangning was one of the four phoenixes of Dali, and was the first one to be sacrificed.    

    

Who asked her to be the first of the four phoenixes?    

    

If Duan Xiangning was only twenty-three years old like Duan Xiang, she wouldn't have been sent to Jiangbei as a vanguard officer.    

    

Duan Xiangning had come to North River to develop, but she was given great hopes by the Duan Family, hoping that she would display her role and contribute greatly to the expansion of the Duan Family.    

    

It was a pity that Duan Xiangning's performance in these four years, had greatly disappointed the Duan Family.    

    

Especially last year, when Duan Family finally officially started its planned landing in Jiangbei and sent Duan Xiangning to send Qingshan on his way, she encountered Lee Nanfang and lost in the first match.    

    

The law of survival of the fittest was especially evident in the rich and powerful families that had numerous elites but limited resources.    

    

Duan Xiangning became an abandoned son, and was excluded from the core of Duan Family.    

    

And she, had also become the shame of the other three of the Duan Clan's four phoenixes — not even being able to deal with a scum, much less the daughter of Dali in the future!    

    

However, just as Duan Xiangning was about to be buried, Lee Nanfang appeared again.    

    

To her, that phone call was definitely a turning point that would change her fate, allowing her to realize once again that she might still be a piece of gold in the Duan Family.    

    

Only then did she come up with a series of detailed plans.    

    

Duan Xiangning's changing fate was indeed in keeping with the old saying, "If you succeed, you lose, you lose."    

    

If it was slightly changed, it would be the same. If it was changed, it would be Lee Nanfang. If it was changed, it would be Lee Nanfang.    

    

During her painful decision tonight, she had unknowingly made so many preparations for Lee Nanfang's arrival. In fact, she had really cherished this opportunity.    

    

Capture her, and she will once again return to the core layer of Dali.    

    

If she failed, not only would she never again be able to enter the core level, she would instead be punished for not respecting the orders of the Duan Family.    

    

One side was to return to glory, the other to be punished. Which side would she choose?    

    

Duan Xiang hoped that this elder cousin of his would be like the ancestors who died on the frontlines in the last century, willing to die for her dignity...    

    

That way, with the limited resources in his Duan Family, he wouldn't have to waste a trash who relied on his looks to improve.    

    

then he would be given it to the rest of the Duan Family.    

    

However, Duan Xiangning had disappointed Duan Xiang.    

    

Instead of bravely accepting the challenge of a tragic fate, she chose to live in humiliation.    

    

Especially with the infrared night vision telescope, Duan Xiangning intentionally left the window curtain open to see her seducing Lee Nanfang shamelessly, and she felt angry and happy at the same time.    

    

It was because she felt that Duan Xiangning had completely lost face for her Duan Clan.    

    

Happiness - To be able to personally witness a competitor who has the qualification to fight for resources with oneself, in private it turns out to be so ugly, of course I would be happy.    

    

However, she was not happy for long as she brought along Qingshan's trusted subordinate, Xiao Dong, and threw away her headphones while screaming.    

    

Then, Duan Chuhuang, who seemed to have already expected this, lightly rebuked her for treating Lee Nanfang as a fool.    

    

From Duan Chuhuang's point of view, there was no need to monitor how Duan Xiangning met Lee Nanfang.    

    

He believed that Duan Xiangning, who had no other way out, wouldn't take her future as a joke and would definitely make the right decision.    

    

What's more, before she was allowed to make a choice, didn't she already have a conflict with Lee Nanfang?    

    

All that she had done now was only logical.    

    

In any case, she didn't have any feelings for that husband of the small aristocratic family in Beijing.    

    

Otherwise, there would have been children.    

    

Ignoring Duan Chuhuang's persuasion, he insisted on sending people to put a bug in Duan Xiangning's house, and also made her not need to open the window tonight, so that she could easily observe her unwavering contribution to Duan Family.    

    

Duan Chuhuang knew very well why she had to do this.    

    

It was nothing more than to prevent Duan Xiangning from surpassing her in terms of standing in the Duan Family.    

    

As long as he could grasp the information, it would be equivalent to seizing Duan Xiangning's weakness. No matter what he wanted her to do in the future, she would have to obediently do it.    

    

Duan Chuhuang wasn't too opposed to Duan Xiang's actions.    

    

From the moment he had become sensible, he had started to compete with everyone around him for the limited amount of resources they possessed.    

    

This will, of course, dilute kinship — whoever wants to enjoy it will automatically withdraw from the ranks of those who desire to move forward.    

    

Furthermore, no matter how hard Duan Xiang and the others tried, they couldn't threaten Duan Chuhuang's status as the third generation Patriarch of Duan Family.    

    

Within the three generations of Duan Clan, only Elder Duan, Duan Erdai, and Duan Chuhuang were men.    

    

He would absolutely pass down the position of the next head of the family for three generations. This way, he wouldn't be able to shake his position as the next head of the family.    

    

That was why he was able to maintain a calm mind when Duan Xiang insisted on doing this.    

    

The fact that Xiao Dong's ears were bleeding and he was lying on the table moaning in pain proved that Duan Chuhuang's warning to Duan Xiang was correct.    

    

Since his warning was not wrong, then of course it was Duan Xiang's fault.    

    

Duan Xiang bit his lips hard, and his towering chest heaved up and down. He clenched his fists tightly, and the nail cap had already pierced her palm.    

    

Of course, she had heard that Scumbag Lee was powerful, and she believed that he was.    

    

Otherwise, why would Jinghong Ming help him like that, and how would he survive the British Island tsunami?    

    

However, what did his strength have to do with Duan Xiang, who tried to seize her weakness to prevent himself from being surpassed by Duan Xiangning?    

    

When he found out he'd been bugged, he warned them directly, or just threw his lipstick out the window.    

    

Why did he have to shout so loudly to deafen Xiao Dong's ears!?    

    

She treated Xiao Dong as an absolute confidant and trained him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed him to participate in the scheming and scheming between Duan Family.    

    

With just a voice, he had made Duan Xiang's hard-earned confidant pay. Who wouldn't be angry?    

    

Looking at his cousin, Duan Chuhuang sighed, "Oh, Duan Xiang, the mission is over." "Just pretend that this never happened before, especially when you see Lee Nanfang tomorrow, and don't show any trace of dissatisfaction or hostility."    

    

"Could it be that my people have been wasted just like that?"    

    

Duan Xiang turned his head to look at him and asked coldly.    

    

Duan Chuhuang frowned, but his voice was still as indifferent as before: "Then what do you want? Bring your men over to avenge your men right now? "    

    

Duan Xiang didn't say anything.    

    

Of course she didn't dare.    

    

Allowing Duan Xiangning to seduce Lee Nanfang on her own accord was something that Elder Duan had decided to do. Whoever dared to destroy Lee Nanfang would become the sinner of Duan Family.    

    

"Remember, I don't want anything to go wrong with you tomorrow at the wedding."    

    

Duan Chuhuang's voice turned cold. He stood up from the sofa and slowly walked towards the door: "You can only wear the gorgeous new clothes and appear at Yue Zitong's wedding with the identity of a management guest coming from Dali. Of course, you can say no. "    

    

Duan Xiang didn't dare to say no.    

    

This was because the other two phoenixes among the four phoenixes were hoping that she would make a mistake.    

    

Don't look at the fact that she was just number two. It was Duan Xiang's effort to follow Duan Chuhuang to Yue Zitong's wedding.    

    

She didn't dare to make any mistakes at Yue Zitong's wedding, but when Duan Chuhuang opened the door, she shouted loudly, "If I swallow this down, won't Lee Nanfang know that we have already monitored him and Duan Xiangning?"    

    

"Two corrections."    

    

Duan Chuhuang, who already walked out of the door, said without turning his head: "One, you are the one watching them, not us. Secondly, as long as you don't show any hostility towards Xiaodong because of his injury, Xiangning won't reveal it, and he won't reveal it either. This was what it meant by face. It was just a piece of paper. If you don't go and break it, you'll be good, I'll be good, and everyone else will be good. If you go and pierce it, then it can only be you who are in the wrong. I hope you'll remember what I said. Otherwise, you would advise grandfather to disqualify you from participating in the family meeting. "    

    

After saying this, Duan Chuhuang closed the door and left without waiting for Duan Xiang to say anything.    

    

Duan Xiang bit his lips and was stunned for a long time before he finally waved his hand!    

    

Du!    

    

With a light sound, a military knife suddenly appeared on the door.    

    

The sharp blades of the military knife shone coldly under the light.    

    

Of course Lee Nanfang couldn't see the hint of cold light.    

    

After smearing the lipstick, he put out the lamp in the bedroom.    

    

Duan Xiangning's nervous breathing could be heard coming from the bed.    

    

She was nervous, of course, not because Lee Nanfang would pounce on her like a hungry tiger after the lights went out.    

    

She was nervous because Lee Nanfang noticed that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation.    

    

This would make Lee Nanfang, who didn't want to accept the Duan Family's offer to extend the olive branch, very angry, so he turned around and left.    

    

In that case, she would have failed.    

    

From then on, Duan Xiangning would never be on the front lines again. After being punished by her family, she would be stuck in that small family in Beijing for the rest of her life, obediently acting as a good wife and mother.    

    

It was impossible to not be obedient.    

    

What qualifications did an abandoned child who had been completely abandoned by a third-rate family have to receive the respect of his Dali?    

    

Lee Nanfang didn't leave, but he didn't come over either. He just stood by the window with the curtain closed silently.    

    

"He must be considering whether to leave or stay."    

    

As Duan Xiangning was thinking this nervously, her right foot loosened and the bright red high heels fell to the ground. The sound broke the heavy pressure in the room.    

    

She wanted to use this voice to remind men that she was here.    

    

Lee Nanfang seemed to understand her suggestion and left the window in the darkness.    

    

"Whew."    

    

Only then did Duan Xiangning heave a sigh of relief. When she raised her hand to rub her forehead, she found that cold sweat had already broken out.    

    

However, just as she let out a breath of relief, all the nerves in her body suddenly tensed up.    

    

She noticed that Lee Nanfang did not walk towards the bed but towards the door.    

    

"He's still giving up on me!"    

    

This desperate thought flashed across Duan Xiangning's mind like lightning. She couldn't keep her cool any longer, and quickly got up from the bed, stumbling as she chased after him.    

    

Just as Lee Nanfang was about to open the door, Duan Xiangning hugged him from behind and knelt on the ground.    

    

"Don't, don't go."    

    

Duan Xiangning's cheek was pressed against his left leg. Tears of despair flowed down his leg as she pleaded.    

    

"Go to bed and have a good night's sleep."    

    

Lee Nanfang lowered his head, rubbed the woman's delicate hair with his right hand and said softly.    

    

"I won't go, I won't go. Don't go, really don't go. "    

    

Duan Xiangning shook her head and pressed herself against his body, saying in a trembling voice, "Don't go, don't go — —"
