517: C517 Conspiracy

C517 Conspiracy

It was because the supporting families had a close relationship with the Zhang Family, so as long as Zhang Family said the word, the supporting families could lose the competition and allow the Duan Family to continue to become an elder family. That was why Zhang Zhanyang was so confident about helping the Duan Family in maintaining his position as an elder.1

However, Zhang Zhanyang was confident, while Duan Yixun was not confident, or perhaps, if the other three Great Clan Elders came to tell him that they were going to help him, he would believe them.

First of all, although Zhang Zhanyang and Duan Yixun looked like good friends who had lived in harmony with each other, the truth was that the two of them had fought openly and secretly for many years. It could be said that their relationship was the most tense and opposing in the entire Windy City.

It was almost targeting him at every turn. As long as it was the business of the Duan Family, the Zhang Family would set up an identical business next door, as if he would not rest until he had killed the Duan Family.

Furthermore, the relationship between Duan Family and him could already be said to be at a point where fire and water cannot coexist. If the two families were to be united, then it would definitely not be like Zhang Zhanyang had said, where one would win both of them, but one would win if the Duan Family was eaten.

One had to know, Duan Yixun had no son, only two daughters, Duan Yuxin and Duan Xiaoxiao. Marrying his daughter would be equivalent to giving his away his family business, and everyone knew this.

Furthermore, although Zhang Zhanyang had agreed to it, he would definitely make the supporting families lose the competition. If he did not give up at that time, wouldn't that mean Duan Family would lose both her husband and army?

For big families like theirs, the most important thing is promises. Saying it out loud is like pouring water, it's too late to regret, so no matter how you look at it, Zhang Family's marriage proposal is a trap, a trap waiting for Duan Family to slip in.

Duan Yixun's mind worked very quickly, in just an instant he had straightened out the "conspiracy". But when he saw that there was actually a portion of people in Duan Family who heard Zhang Zhanyang's words, he was overjoyed, causing his frown to deepen.

However, Duan Yixun was after all, the Patriarch of a family, and being calm in the face of danger was also a key factor. Even though he was frowning inside, on the surface, he revealed a smile, giving people a feeling that they couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Because of various reasons, Duan Family didn't want to fall out with Zhang Family for the time being. Hence, after taking a deep breath in, Duan Yixun looked at Zhang Zhanyang and laughed: "Brother Zhang, your suggestion is really a bit too sudden, I have yet to come up with a plan, moreover, I still need to discuss it with the other people in the clan, so I can't give you your reply …"

"What, isn't Brother Duan the master of the Duan Family? Furthermore, the person I propose to is your own daughter, so there's probably no need to discuss this with others. I don't think anyone would object." Without waiting for Duan Yixun to finish speaking, Zhang Zhanyang blurted out and blocked the former's plan to delay him.

Narrowing his eyes, Duan Yixun continued to smile: "Even though you said it like that, but for such a big matter, I should at least discuss it with my daughter. Furthermore, my daughter has not returned yet, so …"

Without waiting for Duan Yixun to finish speaking, Zhang Zhanyang interrupted him again: "You can agree to this marriage first, and it won't be too late to tell her afterwards. I think your daughter will not object to matters that are beneficial to your Duan Family."
