Tang Hongbo lowered his head and said.
Duan Wenyu's smile immediately froze, but who was Duan Wenyu, to Tang Hongbo, this kind of blow, she could still take it, she pretended like she did not hear anything.
"I know that our Duan Clan can't compare to your Tang Clan, but for the sake of our previous relationship, can't you help our Duan Clan this time?" Duan Wenyu seemed to have a pleading tone.
Duan Wenyu didn't seem to think that Tang Hongbo would say such a thing, and stared at him in disbelief.
Tang Hongbo felt that she didn't believe him and slowly raised his head as he spoke.
"Also, what relationship do I have with your Duan Clan? Why should I help you?" Tang Hongbo's words were both ruthless and poisonous.
Duan Wenyu's eyes immediately reddened. She knew that Tang Hongbo had this kind of personality, but she never thought that he would be so heartless.
Maybe it was because of this attitude, which completely angered Duan Wenyu, that she looked at Tang Hongbo with tears in her eyes.
"You really don't want to help us?"
Tang Hongbo also looked at her. If it wasn't for her thinking about escaping two years ago, she reckoned that he would definitely be married to her now. If she was Mrs. Tang today, even if she didn't come to beg him, he would have helped the Duan Clan overcome their crisis.
It looked as if he was taking revenge on her. However, he only wanted to use this matter to let the Duan Clan members know that they still had a daughter with the surname of Duan, Duan Wenzhuo.
"You asked your parents to come over as lobbyists? I think if they let Wenzhuo be their lobbyist, things would be easier to settle. " Tang Hongbo's words did not sound painful or itchy, but when Duan Wenyu heard them, she felt as if her heart was pierced by needles.
No, she was not stupid. She completely understood Tang Hongbo's intentions, and wanted the Duan Clan to acknowledge Duan Wenzhuo's existence.
Duan Wenyu walked out of Tang Hongbo's office with a pale face.
Never would she have thought that her Duan Clan would need to humbly beg for the help of an illegitimate daughter one day. How could she take this lying down?
Right now, the Duan Clan was at a critical juncture. She could not give up on the Duan Clan, and even more so, could not give up on Tang Hongbo.
Then he could only give up his dignity.
The weather was very gloomy these few days. Duan Wenzhuo looked at the dark clouds in the sky, feeling that the next second, the rain would fall heavily. She had not seen Duan Wenyu for quite a few days, so her phone was turned off.
She didn't know where she had been these past few days, but when she thought about it, she sighed.
"Madam, it looks like it's going to rain soon. Let's go back." Nanny Aunt Liu warned him softly.
Seeing that the garden was now bare except for the green plants that did not flower, Duan Wenzhuo felt that it was a little ugly. She looked in that direction again, the Gesang flowers were long gone, and a few Flowering Apple stalks had replaced them.
However, this season just so happened to be when the crabapple blossoms withered.
Every time she came here, her gaze would involuntarily fall on that place, as if reminding herself that she was always an outsider.
"Madam?" Seeing her in a daze, Aunt Liu could not help but call out again.
"Alright, I understand. Let's go." Duan Wenzhuo chuckled.
Duan Wenzhuo never thought that she would see them in her own home. It had been a long time since she last saw them, and she had almost forgotten about them.
"Madam, I can't stop them from wanting to see you. I'm sorry." Old Lin scratched his head apologetically.
"Don't worry, Aunt Liu, go make two cups of tea." Duan Wenzhuo instructed the Aunt Liu.
Duan Wenzhuo turned around and said to the Duan Clan couple.
"Please take a seat." Actually, Duan Wenzhuo was also a little at a loss and a little nervous in her heart.
She never thought that they would return, they must have come to find Duan Wenyu.
"Being Mrs. Tang is different, you have confidence in your words, don't forget your own identity." Mrs. Duan said maliciously.
"Shut up." Segment Father cut her off.
Duan Wenzhuo did not mind her words at all, because the things she said to people she did not care about were never protected.
"Sorry to bother you, Wenzhuo." Segment Father replied very politely.
"Are you looking for me?" Duan Wenzhuo asked doubtfully.
"Yeah, I'm looking for you." The Segment Father said with a smile.
"How are you doing?" The Segment Father continued to ask.
Duan Wenzhuo didn't know much about this father because when her mother was here in the past, she rarely mentioned him. Later on, when her mother wasn't around anymore, she lived her own life. Knowing that Duan Wenyu had found her, Duan Wenzhuo found out that her father was actually still alive, and was even a rich person.
Towards the Duan Clan, this father had always held an indifferent attitude when she returned to the Duan Clan. It was likely that it was because of her mother's moment of confusion that she gave birth to her, but she had never seen any regret on her mother's face.
After returning to the Duan Clan, it had only been half a year, and the number of times she saw him could be counted on one hand, not to mention any sort of concern. If it wasn't for Duan Wenyu begging her to stay, she definitely wouldn't have stayed in the Duan Clan.
After half a year, when something happened to Duan Wenyu and Tang Hongbo came knocking on his door, when they heard that he was looking for someone, the Duan Clan pushed all of their responsibilities onto her.
In less than half a minute, Duan Wenzhuo had already played back all of these memories in her mind. However, there were very few memories of Segment Father, as long as it was the first day she met the Duan Clan.
He looked at her and said plainly.
"Since you're back, just stay here." It was as if she was not his daughter who had been living in the outside world for twenty years, but a servant whose family had left home for a few days.
From then on, Duan Wenzhuo had completely erased the scene of her family meeting in tears.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but wonder why they were here now.
"Are you looking for me for something?" Duan Duan Wenzhuo directly ignored the concern of the Segment Father.
"Yo, what's wrong? Now that I have become the wife of a Wealthy Class, will something happen to my father when he comes? " Mrs. Duan said in a weird tone.
"I didn't mean that." Duan Wenzhuo said softly.
"Wenzhuo, I know, I previously let you down, the Duan Clan let you down, and I know that you must be blaming me in your heart too. I didn't do my duty as a father to the end of the day, and I also let your mother down, I will definitely make it up to you, okay?" Segment Father suddenly confessed to himself.
Duan Wenzhuo did not react for a moment. Was this just her hallucinating, or did the other party take the wrong medicine?
But what Duan Wenjing said to them, she wouldn't even believe a single punctuation mark. It wasn't that she didn't want a father, she also wanted to have an amiable father like the others.
However, perhaps it was because she had missed her target, so she had never asked for it.
Duan Wenzhuo looked at him, with an expression of self-blame. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't, because he really didn't know what to say.
"Wenzhuo, I know that you feel terrible in your heart, but I promise that I will definitely treat you well in the future." The Segment Father said diligently.
"Uh, what are you guys trying to say?" Duan Wenzhuo felt that if he was allowed to continue speaking, the sky would turn dark soon.
Segment Father's old face, which was rarely seen, turned red, as if he had made a great decision.
"Wenzhuo, actually, father came to find you for a reason. I hope that you can help us." In the end, the Segment Father still said 'Mother'.
Duan Wenzhuo knew that since they had come to find her, they must have suddenly realized something and specifically apologized to her. After preparing for a long time, they finally got to the point.
Before Duan Wenzhuo could say anything, she heard Mrs. Duan's voice.
"Don't, don't think that just because we have something that we need your help, you'll want to take the opportunity to humiliate us." Mrs. Duan snorted.
"Of course not, Wenzhuo is not that kind of person." Segment Father hurriedly said.
This couple was singing the same tune, who would believe that they weren't rehearsed beforehand? Duan Wenzhuo silently sighed in her heart.
"Anyway, what do you want?" Duan Wenzhuo asked.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. We just want you to help us persuade the Boss Tang. Our Duan Clan's profits these past few years have been poor, and our funds are difficult to revolving. We hope we can obtain the support of the Boss Tang." Segment Father seemed to have gathered his courage and finished speaking.
Duan Wenzhuo was surprised, did they come to borrow money from Tang Hongbo?
This, she really didn't seem to be able to help.
"Actually, I do not understand business matters. I am sorry, but I am unable to help you." Duan Wenzhuo rejected her bluntly.
Don't even mention letting her blow the wind by the pillow, she was probably extinguished by him before she could even say it out loud.
What kind of person was Tang Hongbo, how could he be controlled by a woman?
"Wenzhuo, are you not willing to help me?" Segment Father's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Duan Wenzhuo looked at him. The white hair at the sides of his head had been extinguished in an instant. He seemed to be just a passerby to her.
She wanted to say why she wanted to help them, but after thinking for a while, she decided against it.
"Regarding this matter, it might be more effective for you to find Sister Wenyu." Finding her was equivalent to asking for free.
Segment Father looked at her in astonishment. Previously, Duan Wenyu said that he wanted them to look for Duan Wenzhuo and said that it was Tang Hongbo who said that.
But no matter who he looked for, as long as he could get the financial support of the Tang Clan, he was willing to look for them. However, looking at Duan Wenzhuo's expression, he decided that it was Duan Wenzhuo who wasn't willing to help them.
