Chapter 2361: Chapter 2361

Though saying no, when Duan Qirui returned to his room, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. When Duan Xin, who was partying at the karaoke, received his call, he only heard a short "Ha" from the other end.

"???", Duan Xin.

He stood in the corner with his phone, suspiciously looking at it. Did he just mishear?

It was noisy in the karaoke, so he shouted, "Dad? Is there something wrong?"

"Ha!" This time Duan Xin heard it clearly, Duan Qirui was indeed scoffing at him!

He wanted to ask for clarification, but the person on the other end had already hung up. Duan Xin just felt baffled, but soon he didn’t care. After all, in his eyes, his father was strange enough already, so doing some other incomprehensible things wasn’t surprising.

He put the phone away and soon rejoined the cheerful atmosphere,

Meanwhile, on the other side, Feng Nianian just couldn’t feel happy. After leaving the Duan Family, her expression hadn’t been good.

Today, she had a falling-out with Jiang Xun, didn’t go back with him. In their relationship, Jiang Xun had never compromised. She said she wanted to return with Duan Sishu, so he dropped her and Duan Sishu at the entrance of the little garden and left without any hesitation.

Seeing him like this, Feng Nianian’s already bad mood turned into utter desolation.

She got out of the car, holding her belly, watching Jiang Xun drive away without looking back, while Duan Sishu beside her was still asking, "What happened with my son-in-law?"

Feng Nianian lowered her eyelids, looking at the bewildered face of Duan Sishu, feeling an unprecedented hatred in her heart.

She walked into the house with a cold face, and Duan Sishu watched her stormy back, muttering a couple of words behind her, and followed her in.

After Feng Nianian entered, she sat down on the sofa. Duan Sishu glanced at her expression, feeling inexplicably guilty. She pushed the door closed with her hand, thinking of heading back to her room, but just as she lifted her foot, she was called to stop by Feng Nianian.

"Come over here." Feng Nianian’s tone was firm, not like she was speaking to an elder, but rather commanding a junior.

Duan Sishu had been pampered since childhood, never having much of her own opinions. In her childhood, she relied on her family; after marriage, she depended on her husband’s family. Now, with neither family nor husband, her mainstay was her daughter.

Though in many matters, the leading role between mother and daughter had become Feng Nianian, Feng Nianian often disguised herself, using weakness to gain the upper hand, never making Duan Sishu suspect. She always felt she was still the one in charge, never realizing she was being led by the nose by Feng Nianian.

Now Feng Nianian abruptly tore off that layer of "disguise," becoming unusually domineering. Duan Sishu was briefly stunned, then her face darkened as she walked over, "Nianian, how are you talking to mom like this? Is this the tone you should have?"

Feng Nianian did not appear flustered upon hearing this, instead sneering coldly. Her icy gaze swept over, inexplicably making Duan Sishu panic, her legs involuntarily moving forward.

"Didn’t I warn you before we left today not to speak recklessly?" Feng Nianian’s icy gaze fell on the trembling Duan Sishu.

"Nianian!" Though her body complied, Duan Sishu’s mind couldn’t accept her daughter speaking to her in this manner, shouting a bit angrily, "Don’t use that tone with mom!"

But in the face of her fury, Feng Nianian showed no fear typical of a child towards a parent. Instead, her eyes grew colder and more chilling, staring right at her.
