The Young Matriarch

Chapter 987: Chapter 987: Duan Er Pays a New Year Visit and Pays His Intelligence Tax

Duan Xingye scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, "How could a giant serpent appear in our house? It’s not like we’re a zoo... Weiwei, you didn’t bring that snake, did you?"

As Duan Xingye spoke, he cast a suspicious glance at Bai Chuwei.

Bai Chuwei was probably the only one who could bring such an animal and even keep it by her side.

Bai Chuwei looked quite innocent, spreading her hands and saying, "It’s not my pet, nothing to do with me."

Upon hearing this, Duan Xingye patted his chest and said, "I knew it, no normal person would keep a giant python as a pet..."

Bai Chuwei smiled faintly and said, "It’s your fourth uncle’s pet."

Duan Xingye’s voice choked, and he looked at Duan Feihan in shock, What’s going on?

"Are you saying I’m abnormal?" Duan Feihan asked calmly as he straightened the clothes Bai Chuwei had wrinkled earlier.

Duan Xingye was filled with ’oh crap’ and quickly backed away, shouting, "I was just joking, don’t dock my allowance, I’m going downstairs."

Wow, after knowing his fourth uncle for so many years, this was the first time he discovered such a hobby!

It’s true that you can’t judge a book by its cover.

Duan Xingye ran off early, and Bai Chuwei and Duan Feihan followed out the door.

Bai Chuwei had learned about the Duan Family before, Old Master Duan had three sons and one daughter in his life, and the second daughter named Duan Xueqin was quite favored by Old Master Duan. She married a Chinese businessman over ten years ago in the O Continent and had settled there since.

This time she returned to China purely to celebrate the New Year with Old Master Duan, only to faint at the sight of Xue Qiu and a million.

Even before stepping into the guest room, Bai Chuwei and Duan Feihan heard a middle-aged woman’s tense voice from inside, "I really saw a giant python just now, it swallowed two girls in one bite, right there in the garden!"

Suddenly, Bai Chuwei felt a bit comforted; even the million that Duan Feihan raised didn’t cause any less trouble than Xue Qiu for its owner.

Knocking on the door and entering, they saw the whole Duan Family gathered, and a dignified and graceful-looking middle-aged lady was reclining on the guest room’s bed, her skin so fair it was almost abnormal.

Standing by the bed was an elegant middle-aged uncle, and beside him were a pair of children around thirteen or fourteen years old, presumably the husband and kids of the Duan Family’s second lady.

"It was probably just your imagination, don’t think too much," her husband, Xie Qian’an, consoled her.

"Would you like to drink some energy water?" Xie Qian’an asked next, taking a glass water bottle from his bag, opening the cap, and handing it over.

Duan Xingye looked at the bright red water in the bottle and couldn’t help but ask, "Aunt, what kind of drink is this? What’s with the color?"

Duan Xueqin took it and drank more than half the cup, smiling, "This? It’s energy water I bought in the O Continent. I can’t help but drink a bottle whenever I feel tired. It’s a good thing. It’s quite popular in the lady circles on the O Continent lately."

Upon hearing this, Duan Xingye felt a bit tempted, thinking his stamina had dropped to the point that he couldn’t even walk Erha.

Bai Chuwei lightly pressed her slender fingers under her nose.

Intelligence tax.

Oh no, it’s more than just an intelligence tax.

That simple gesture suddenly caught Duan Xueqin’s eyes and seemed jarring to her.

"Who is this young lady? Why is she standing with our old fourth?"

Duan Feihan pulled Bai Chuwei over, called Duan Xueqin second sister, and said, "My partner." noveldrama

Duan Xueqin looked Bai Chuwei up and down and suddenly laughed, "This young girl looks quite familiar."

Duan Xingye sensed something was off, laughed, and chimed in to diffuse the situation, "Isn’t she? Weiwei is very popular in China. Hey, cousin, cousin-in-law, do you want an autograph from the Immortal Teacher?"

The lady smiled slightly, "No, this young lady looks familiar because I’ve seen her on our third brother’s phone."
