Chapter 276 Brother
Chapter 276 Brother
"You asked me why, I want to ask you why!" Duan Hongji snorted coldly, with a hint of mockery in his tone, "Look at you, you look so sentimental and weak!"
"Why would a genius like your mother give birth to a useless son like you?"
Duan Jizhi's face froze (although it couldn't be seen because he was wrapped in gauze), as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Father……"
Duan Hongji stood up and said arrogantly: "If I were you, I should stay in my room and reflect on what I did wrong and why I am not as good as your brother. Instead of crying and shouting like a baby!"
After saying this, Duan Hongji turned around and left without looking back.
As soon as Zhao Ruoming turned around, 203 asked curiously, "Host, when did you learn business physiognomy?"
Zhao Ruoming is not a financial tycoon, and usually the company's affairs are handed over to 203. How come he can see that Duan Jizhi is useless now?
Zhao Ruoming said helplessly: "I don't understand business, but I understand novels. Don't forget who the male protagonist of this book is now."
203: "."
. . .
God have mercy on me! Duan Jizhi is no longer the male lead!
What’s even more terrifying is that the current male protagonist is Duan Hongji!
Duan Jizhi plays an awkward role as the love rival of the male protagonist, the rebellious son who covets his royal father's woman, and the affectionate second male lead... It would have been fine if he had just behaved himself, but now he's even fighting with his own brother!
Is this a question of whether or not he is a good person? Isn't this a sign of being cannon fodder?
203 admired and said: "Host, you are really energetic."
After going through so many things in the past two days, Zhao Ruoming actually remembered what happened after his eldest son's identity as the male protagonist was grayed out, and he didn't forget to mention it. He is really worthy of being the chosen ox and horse - oh no, the chosen tasker.
Zhao Ruoming said with a headache: "I haven't figured out how to deal with Jiang Huiyi's book yet. Before that, Duan Jizhi must not make trouble again. Let's suppress him first."

Duan Chengfang sat alone in the living room with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Duan Jizhi was deeply shocked and went back to his room to lick his wounds. Duan Ye said he was going to sleep and he actually fell asleep. Only Duan Chengfang was left sitting there blankly, recalling what Duan Hongji had just said.
What did my father mean by that?
Because my eldest brother is useless, I handed the company over to myself and asked him to go back and reflect on it.
So, when the eldest brother reflects on himself, grows up, and realizes his mistakes...what will happen to his father?
Will my eldest brother come back? Will my father give everything back to my eldest brother?
Duan Chengfang once didn't care about the Duan family. He wasn't a money-loving person. But after taking control of this behemoth, Duan Chengfang felt a deep connection with his father.
Duan Family is the life's work of Duan Hongji. Owning Duan Family is equivalent to owning Duan Hongji...
"What are you thinking about?"
Duan Chengfang looked up in surprise, only to see that Duan Hongji had sat down next to him without him noticing.
"……dad."
"Ah."
Duan Hongji didn't say much, took out a can of alcohol cleaning cotton and placed it in front of Duan Chengfang.
"Wipe your hands."
Duan Chengfang finally reacted. His hands were stained with Duan Jizhi's blood, snot, saliva and Duan Ye's hair wax. It was really unbearable to look at.
Duan Chengfang touched it lightly and found that the lid of the alcohol cleaning cotton jar had been unscrewed and could be easily opened. He could not help but be surprised at his father's sudden attentiveness.
Duan Chengfang took out the cleaning cotton and scrubbed his hands carefully until both of them were clean, smooth and fresh. During this time, Duan Hongji did not leave, but watched him silently.
Duan Chengfang's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Dad... is there something dirty on my face?"
"Oh?" Duan Hongji looked carefully and said, "I didn't see that."
Duan Chengfang said nonchalantly: "Xiao Ye's saliva sprayed all over my face."
Duan Hongji said with a smile: "I see, then why don't you just wipe your face again?"
Duan Chengfang drooped his nonexistent ears in frustration. As expected...
A cool feeling imprinted on Duan Chengfang's face. Duan Chengfang raised his eyes in surprise, only to see Duan Hongji frowning slightly, holding a piece of cleaning cotton with his fingertips and stroking his face.
Duan Chengfang's hair stood on end: "Dad——"
"Don't move." Duan Hongji glared at Duan Chengfang. "You are an adult, and you still need your father to wipe your face. This is just one time, and it won't happen again."
Although he was impatient, Duan Hongji's movements were gentle and careful, wiping every corner of Duan Chengfang's face.
Duan Hongji wiped the wound while muttering, "You have always been steady, but I always worry that you lack some vitality. Today, I finally know that you have a temper, and you are not a clay figure..."
Looking at his father's face so close to him, Duan Chengfang suddenly felt that he had made up his mind.
He doesn't want to let go.
No matter who comes, he doesn't want to let go. Even if that person is his elder brother, he won't let go.
He could not tolerate anyone taking away his father's attention. If Duan Hongji had never given Duan Chengfang this attention, Duan Chengfang would probably just be gloomy and envious in the corner, and then fall asleep with such expectations, that would be enough.
But Duan Hongji has already given Duan Chengfang what he wanted, so no one can take this attention away.
If this attention is due to the Duan family, then...
Duan Chengfang thought that he would be able to control the Duan family.
"Ah. What a warm family scene. Am I here at the wrong time?"
A somewhat unfamiliar voice sounded, and the father and son, who were immersed in the warm and quiet atmosphere, raised their heads at the same time.
A tall and handsome young man stood at the door, his amber eyes sparkling in the warm winter sun, his flaxen hair shining softly under his fashionable hat. Judging from his appearance, he was a handsome and elegant gentleman.
"Theodore?" Zhao Ruoming frowned. This kid's healing ability is so strong? He can get out of bed so soon?
Duan Chengfang knew the situation at home better, so he knew where Theodore was at the moment—he was still recovering from his injury in bed! How did he suddenly arrive at the door? It couldn't be because he got better quickly from sunbathing!
Duan Chengfang stared at "Theodore" for a moment, then suddenly said in a stern voice: "Dad! He is not Theodore!"
Although he had a face exactly like Theodore, he was taller than Theodore, had longer hair than Theodore, and most importantly, had a mature and confident temperament that Theodore could never compare to.
The young man who looked exactly like Theodore smiled gently and said, "I'm not that annoying guy."
Under the gaze of the Duan family father and son, the young man took off his hat and bowed: "Let me introduce myself. I am François, Theodore's brother."
