Chapter 76: I Have a Date with Monk Tang’s Flesh Later

The second floor was the family's living quarters, and there was also a small parlor for receiving guests. On the glass tea table lay an expensive men's wristwatch.

Xu Xingchen was startled at first, hurriedly put it away, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a gift from a relative." Although the watch was costly, it was still within the reach of the wealthy; Duan Xingye wouldn’t suspect anything.

Saying this, Xu Xingchen tucked the watch away.

Duan Xingye looked lost and distracted.

He recognized that watch—it was a global limited edition. He had saved up money and asked Duan Feihan, who was traveling abroad for work, to bring it back for him. Afterward, he had given the watch to his father, Duan Xiuhao, as a birthday present.

He had even engraved a few English letters on the dial, choosing a very unique typeface, so there was no way to mistake it.

Now, this very watch had turned up in the Xu household...

Duan Xingye instantly recalled what Bai Chuwei had said earlier, about him and Xu Xingchen looking somewhat alike, even their names were similar.

Could it be...

Duan Xingye was almost overwhelmed, a terrifying idea spinning wildly in his mind.

While Xu Xingchen explained math problems to Duan Xingye, Bai Chuwei sat nearby, leisurely sipping fruit juice.

Duan Xingye was clearly distracted. Xu Xingchen asked, "What’s wrong?"

Duan Xingye snapped back to reality, glanced at Bai Chuwei who was quietly watching him with a faint smile while drinking her juice, and forced a smile: "It’s nothing, just thinking that my grandfather has recovered from his illness and will be hosting a celebration banquet in a few days."

Xu Xingchen's heart suddenly raced, his grip tightening on his pen.

His father had said... at that very celebration banquet, he would introduce him to all the members of the Duan family.

At this thought, Xu Xingchen couldn't help but feel joyous. He turned to Bai Chuwei and said, "Bai, why don’t you join us for the math discussion?"

Bai Chuwei's graceful figure lounged lazily on the sofa, her smile enigmatic: "I have excellent hearing. No matter how softly you speak, I can hear everything."

For example... Xu Li downstairs was anxiously making a phone call, and she could hear every word.

Xu Li truly was in a panic. Bai Chuwei’s words just now had only stopped short of directly accusing her of wanting to harm Duan Xingye!

Clutching her phone, Xu Li hissed, "Don’t make a move. Absolutely nothing can happen to Duan Xingye today."

A middle-aged man’s voice on the other end turned cold: "Even if I do, the police won’t find out."

Xu Li was near frantic, but remembering Bai Chuwei was still upstairs, she suppressed her rage and warned in a low voice, "Master Sun, you mustn’t act. The job is canceled!"

Of course, she wished for Duan Xingye’s death.

If Duan Xingye died, Duan Xiuhao would be left without a son, and Xingchen could naturally take his place in the Duan family.

But now things were off-kilter—at least, for the next few days, nothing could happen to Duan Xingye!

Lowering her voice, Xu Li explained about Bai Chuwei and repeatedly stressed, "Absolutely no action right now."

With a sharp click, the call ended. In a high-rise building, the middle-aged man muttered to himself, his tone dripping with contempt: "A bratty little girl? Who does she think she is?!"

Cancel the job? Who would pay him then? He didn’t believe that even with Duan Xingye’s corpse lying there, Xu Li would refuse to pay.

"Let’s leave it here for today. Thank you, Xingchen. I have to get to my tutoring session." In the afternoon, still distracted, Duan Xingye announced he was leaving.

Xu Xingchen escorted Duan Xingye and Bai Chuwei downstairs.

Duan Xingye tried to smile. "Weiwei, shall I have the car take you home?"

Bai Chuwei’s eyes sparkled, and she shook her head decisively. "No need, I have a date with Tang Monk Meat later."

Duan Xingye was stunned. "A date with my fourth uncle?"

Had Weiwei not taken his words to heart? His fourth uncle had been pining for that fairy-like young lady from twenty years ago!

Don’t fall for his fourth uncle—it will only end in heartbreak!
