Chapter 1691: Chapter 1691: Just Mutual Utilization
He watched for a long time, then clenched his fist, yet couldn’t grasp the sunlight streaming through his fingers.
His gaze suddenly darkened.
After hesitating for a while, he gently parted his lips, "I want to go out. Arrange for someone reliable to follow me."
"Okay."
Yu Xiuzhun didn’t even ask where he was going or restrict his freedom; he simply agreed straightforwardly.
"Thank you."
Dan Hanxi looked at his back and suddenly spoke.
"No need to thank me. I saved you with conditions attached. Aside from our years of friendship, we’re just using each other." Yu Xiuzhun paused but didn’t turn around.
"You’re more cold-hearted than I am, so you’re luckier than me." Dan Hanxi gave a bitter smile, "Isn’t there anyone who can become your burden?"
"...Are you talking about women?"
Yu Xiuzhun turned to give him a glance, hesitation flashed in his eyes but then they returned to being cold, decisively saying, "No."
This time, before Dan Hanxi could speak again, he had already taken his steps to leave.
...
"Mr. Xi, we’ve arrived." The assistant respectfully turned back to report after sending Dan Hanxi to the building of the Dan Group headquarters.
"Don’t park too close, drive to the opposite side." Dan Hanxi glanced at everything familiar ahead, speaking quietly.
"Yes."
The assistant, upon hearing this, restarted the car and discreetly drove the black luxury car to the opposite side of the Dan Family Building.
After turning off the engine, he sat quietly.
"Do you have a cigarette?" Dan Hanxi suddenly asked.
"Mr. Xi, you aren’t well. The doctor said you can’t touch cigarettes, alcohol, or tea." The assistant advised nervously, looking at Dan Hanxi with unease.
"Cut the nonsense, give me a cigarette." Dan Hanxi’s dark eyes sank, extending his hand towards the assistant.
He took the cigarette from the assistant’s hand, pulled one out, lit it, and took a deep drag.
The taste of nicotine spread within the car, mixed with a choking smoke.
Dan Hanxi seemed unaware, didn’t even roll down the window, just smoked on his own, looking at everything familiar outside the window.
He almost forgot how old he was when he first came to this place.
At that time, his parents weren’t very affectionate, yet they were harmonious. Little him followed his mom and dad for the first time to the Dan Group, where Dan Rong held him on his shoulders, letting him look down from a height, earnestly advising.
"Xi’er, this will all be yours in the future. You must strive to make the Dan Family’s business flourish and become the forever first family in Chinese Business."
At that time, his mother was also by his side, and hearing her husband say this, naturally, she was happy.
He doesn’t remember what else Dan Rong said to him, but he will always remember the complete family he had back then, the parents who loved him.
Later on, Dan Hanjie and his mother appeared.
Not only did the family develop cracks, but Dan Rong was also severely framed by Dan Yi due to the existence of this illegitimate child, almost losing his position as president.
Afterward, Dan Hanjie’s mother died tragically, and Dan Hanjie was sent into a mental hospital...
Everything became calm, yet with hidden treachery.
It seemed that from then on, the Dan Family never had peace again.
Until Dan Hanjie left the mental hospital, the long-dormant plan for revenge finally unfolded...
The cigarette butt burned his finger, and Dan Hanxi suddenly came back to his senses, rolled down the window, and threw the butt out.
Withdrawing his hand, he lit another cigarette.
"Cough, cough—"
After smoking a few cigarettes, Dan Hanxi couldn’t help but start coughing.
