Dongfang Liuyun left this sentence and her slender figure quickly disappeared into the corner in front of her.
She still had to go backstage to direct the work behind the scenes.
At this moment, the backstage had also returned to normal.
The event was nearing its end. Dongfang Liuyun also made some simple arrangements for the later stages of the work. Qi Lei called and said that he was waiting for her in the car.
About 10 minutes later, Qi Lei left early.
When he walked out, it was quite quiet outside. Yang Sheng followed behind him.
The street lights were a little dim. Qi Lei walked down unhurriedly. His car was parked in a temporary parking s.p.a.ce on the roadside.
“Master Qi, is everything alright with the Missus?”
Yang Sheng asked with concern.
“It’s fine. We should investigate the matter tonight. I don’t think it was that simple.” Qi Lei instructed.
“We’ve already sent people to investigate. It seems like Missus has discovered something. We’ve already put a tight watch on her, yet we still couldn’t prevent it. I’m sorry, Master Qi!”
Yang Sheng felt apologetic as he spoke.
“It’s not what you wanted to happen. If they really want to make a move, they’ll definitely find a loophole. It was going to be difficult for her to deal with them anyway.”
As Qi Lei said this, he frowned slightly
In fact, Dongfang Liuyun’s situation was not much better than his previous situation.
“That’s right, Master Qi! To be honest, Missus’s life doesn’t seem quite easy. It might have been fine before, but now that she’s in the company, naturally…”
“Just do what I told you to do.” Qi Lei pondered for a moment before replying in a low voice, “These things are things that we will have to face sooner or later. Since we’ve experienced it once, we won’t be afraid for it to happen again. You must all be on your guard.”
“Yes, Master Qi.”
…
At this moment, in the venue.
Jin Sheng was a little surprised by what had just happened. He looked at Dongfang Liuyun, who was directing the staff to work. He thought for a long time before turning his gaze to Dongfang Rou’er, who was beside him. His gaze was a little profound.
Dongfang Rou’er also turned to look at him. When she met Jin Sheng’s gaze, her gaze was very clear—
“Don’t look at me like that. This has nothing to do with me. I didn’t do it.”
Dongfang Rou’er’s tone was naturally very resolute. “I have always been a person who dares to take responsibility for my actions. I disdain using such a method. If something goes wrong during this event, I won’t be able to escape responsibility. Do you think I’m such a foolish person?”
After saying this, Jin Sheng’s eyes flickered. After a while, he finally spoke, “I didn’t mean that. It’s just that this was too much of a coincidence. Why did that model suddenly fall? Moreover, the thing that fell was something belonging to President Qi of Tai Yu Corporation. Do you think that’s reasonable?”
Dongfang Rou’er was silent for a moment. She quietly thought for a while and her expression tensed up a little. “I’m not sure about this either. Perhaps it might not have been done by our own people.”
As she said this, Dongfang Rou’er glanced sideways at Dongfang Ren, who was talking to someone else. She was not certain about it.
In her impression, this Second Uncle of hers did not seem to be a brainless person. Moreover, this was a matter that concerned the reputation and interests of the Dongfang Group. He would not make such arrangements.
Could it be a coincidence?
It did not seem to be…
“Dongfang Liuyun will investigate this thoroughly. Knowing her, she might suspect me again. Just wait and see. In the next meeting, she will make things difficult for me.”
Dongfang Rou’er took a deep breath and looked at Dongfang Liuyun with a cold and stern gaze.
“Your prejudice against her is no less than her prejudice against you.” Jin Sheng said this in a low voice.
“Don’t you already know where the both of us stand? This current situation is not what I wanted. You’re very clear about the current situation of the Dongfang Group too. When we got engaged, I had already clearly a.n.a.lyzed the pros and cons with you. Ah Sheng, I have already told you. If you still can’t let go and want to go back to Dongfang Liuyun, I will let go of you freely. You are still free right now. However, if you dare to betray me after we get married, I definitely won’t let you off so easily.”
At this moment, Dongfang Rou’er’s voice suddenly turned cold as she silently looked at Jin Sheng. Her gaze was filled with determination.
“I don’t want all the feelings that I’ve given up to go to waste. Not everyone can understand the pain of not being able to get what you love. I know that you admire Dongfang Liuyun in your heart. I won’t care about that, but please remember my bottom line. I, Dongfang Rou’er, don’t have to have you. I won’t let others trample on my dignity.”
Hearing this, Jin Sheng’s face stiffened. Seeing Dongfang Rou’er’s stubbornness, his heart softened. He quickly grabbed her wrist and comforted her, “I didn’t mean that. Don’t let your imagination run wild. My mind is focused on our future and I only like you. We’re already engaged, don’t think too much. Let’s get married once this phase of work is done. That way, I hope that you can stand by my side with a more reasonable ident.i.ty.”
Dongfang Rou’er’s expression softened when she heard this. She thought for a moment and slowly stood up. “We’ll talk about it when the time comes. Marriage isn’t such a simple thing. Give us some time to think things through.”
After saying these few words, she took a deep breath and turned around to leave.
“Rou’er!”
Jin Sheng’s expression darkened for a moment before he hurriedly stood up and chased after her.
…
“Rou’er!”
After chasing her all the way to the staircase outside the door, Jin Sheng held Dongfang Rou’er’s hand and panted slightly as he said in a deep voice, “Don’t be angry. I really don’t have any other intentions. My att.i.tude has always been very clear and definite. I’ve long wanted to marry you. After we get married, our lives won’t be any worse than now, right? Don’t you believe that I can treat you wholeheartedly? Rou’er!”
Seeing that Dongfang Rou’er was determined to move forward, Jin Sheng finally could not hold it in any longer and held her by the wrist, pulling her into his embrace…
“Give us a chance. We both feel that it’s very tiring to persevere and let us rely on each other, okay? If you’re still worried about any changes, we’ll immediately prepare for the wedding and get married at the end of the year, okay?”
Jin Sheng could not help but feel anxious. He also felt uneasy. In fact, marrying Dongfang Rou’er as soon as possible would be very beneficial to him. He did not mind bringing forward the agreed deadline.
“Our two families have discussed this matter very clearly. We’ll postpone it for now. How long have we been engaged for?”
Dongfang Rou’er was not someone who was blinded by feelings. Moreover, it was too easy to get someone like Jin Sheng. To her, it was not a good thing.
She had interacted with Jin Sheng for so long, so she could more or less understand his temper.
