Chapter 1581: You’re Not As Pretty As Her! (3)
Qi Lei naturally did not answer him. He continued walking forward, but the faint smile on his face revealed his current mood…
Yang Sheng, who had caught up with him, could clearly feel his joy at this moment. After thinking for a moment, he lowered his voice and continued speaking.
“Well then, Master Qi, can you get along with Missus? She seems to be a pretty nice person. Also, why haven’t I heard of you going to the Dongfang family’s house for a visit? Are we not going to organize this wedding? The Dongfang family’s influence in City Z is quite extraordinary, you must be careful about your marriage with the Missus. In fact, President w.a.n.g has already prepared a generous gift for you. It’s for you to use when you get married in the future. It’s the dowry that President w.a.n.g got when she first married over from the w.a.n.g family…”
Yang Sheng had been by w.a.n.g Qin’s side for many years, so Yang Sheng naturally handled this matter personally. He was very clear about how devoted w.a.n.g Qin was to Qi Lei.
Hearing this, Qi Lei also stopped walking slightly. He turned his head to look at him and asked in a deep voice, “What did you say?”
“I said that President w.a.n.g left her dowry for you as a betrothal gift when you marry the Missus in the future,” answered Yang Sheng in a low voice.
At this moment, Qi Lei was stunned for a moment. His dark eyes could not help but flash with a faint light. Finally, he just took a breath and did not think about anything else. He picked up his pace and continued to walk ahead.
..
Time pa.s.sed very quickly, and it was still a cloudy afternoon. Dongfang Liuyun tidied up the study and placed the books she had brought from the Beach Villa on the empty bookshelf at the side.
The bookshelf was prepared by Qi Lei. It was very tall and large, and its capacity was enough to hold many of the books she had brought.
She was busy for a long time before she tidied everything up. Looking at the row of bookshelves that she had filled up, Dongfang Liuyun finally felt that this unfamiliar room had a sense of familiarity.
Standing at the door and looking around the entire study, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the sky outside had fallen silent. It was already sunset.
The entire house was very quiet. After Mama w.a.n.g received the news in the morning, she had also packed up her things and booked a train ticket back to the countryside tonight.
“Missus, I’ve already prepared the ingredients for the next few days in the fridge. Master said that you have gastrisitis, so I’ve prepared food that are light and easy to digest. You must remember to take your medicine on time every day. Also, Master is usually picky about food. He doesn’t like to eat food that’s too heavy in flavor. He doesn’t like to eat things like internal organs either, Missus can supervise him at any time. Previously, when Madam was still around, she liked to boil those things into soup to drink…”
When Dongfang Liuyun had just walked down the stairs, she met Mama w.a.n.g, who was carrying bags of luggage.
At this moment, Mama w.a.n.g was still worried.
Dongfang Liuyun walked over to her unhurriedly and nodded lightly. Then, she handed a thick leather envelope to Mama w.a.n.g, “It’s been hard on you. I understand. Go back and rest for two months. Come back after the summer vacation ends and after the Double Ninth Festival, take these as your reward. Qi Lei said that you’ve taken good care of him all these years and treated him very well, so there’s no need to be courteous.”
“No, no, Missus I can’t take it, Master has been very good to us. He’s given us twice the salary of other people’s families. I’m very satisfied, so I can’t take these.”
Mama w.a.n.g quickly declined, but her eyes were filled with grat.i.tude.
“He gave them to you. If you don’t want them, return them to him yourself.”
Dongfang Liuyun immediately bent down and placed the envelope in her luggage, “It’s time to get off work. It’s not convenient for you to squeeze into the subway alone with your stuff. Let the butler send you there. If you take the Fast Lane, you shouldn’t be caught in the traffic jam.”
As she spoke, she called Butler Xu over and casually poured herself a gla.s.s of water.
Mama w.a.n.g felt a wave of grat.i.tude in her heart. Suddenly, she did not know what else she could say. She could only nod, “Thank you then, Missus. I’ll rush back as soon as possible. I’m worried about you. I’m going back now Missus.”
Dongfang Liuyun nodded slightly and watched her leave the villa.
Hearing the sound of the car leaving, Dongfang Liuyun also looked up at the clock on the wall. Realizing that the sky was almost dark, she went upstairs to change her clothes and rushed to the Emperor Hotel.
Dongfang Liuyun drove there herself.
When she arrived near the Emperor Hotel, her father, Dongfang Gan, had already called.
“Father, are you here with mother?”
Dongfang Liuyun slowed down her car and asked calmly.
“Your mother has been busy with a case these past few days and is still in the countryside. I’m afraid she won’t be able to make it back in time. I’m already here, the dinner banquet is about to start. When are you coming over?” Dongfang Gan asked.
Dongfang Liuyun paused for a moment before replying, “Let her be. She has never been on good terms with them, meeting them might not be peaceful. I’ll be there soon. That’s all for now.”
With that, he hung up the phone and slowly drove the car into the parking lot in front of the Emperor Hotel.
…
Tonight Emperor Hotel was destined to be extraordinary. The entire hotel had been reserved for this grand engagement banquet. There were many invited guests, seats were full, and there were a lot of reporters, you could see how extravagant the event was this time.
At this moment, Dongfang Ren, who was at the top, had already begun to express his grat.i.tude for everyone’s arrival. The smug smile on his face could not be hidden. Of course, there was also the Jin couple—
It could be seen that the parents of both parties were very satisfied with this marriage alliance. Standing in the middle of the stage, Jin Sheng, who was dressed in a neat suit, and Dongfang Rou’er, who was dressed in a pink gown, looked extremely compatible. They looked like a beautiful couple, both of their faces were brimmed with a rare smile that looked very happy.
Dongfang Liuyun walked into the banquet hall almost soundlessly. The hall was already filled with people. She walked around to the side and was about to find a quiet seat to sit down. Unexpectedly, the two people who had just made a declaration of love and generously taken photos for the media, noticed her with sharp eyes.
Unsurprisingly, Dongfang Liuyun had already expected that Dongfang Rou’er would not let her off so easily. In fact, they immediately proved her guess. When Dongfang Rou’er held a cup of wine and Jin Sheng’s arm, as she walked towards her with her head held high and her chest puffed out like a victorious queen, she immediately stopped in her tracks and silently watched the couple walking towards her.
