Chapter 1592: Son-in-law? (2)
Lan Xiu…
Dongfang Gan had always liked him. He did not have the style of those good-for-nothing young masters. He was upright, sincere, and very modest. He was a very good choice. He had been looking at Lan Xiu in a different light for a long time. No matter how he looked at him, he felt satisfied.
Even so, he would not interfere with his daughter’s choice.
“Lan Xiu knows everything and treats you very well. A few days ago, when we spoke on the phone, he had a very concerned tone. Trust father, he is definitely a good choice. You two have known each other for so many years. Isn’t it logical for you two to be together? With us watching, Lan Xiu will only treat you well.”
Dongfang Gan looked at Dongfang Liuyun quietly. After saying these words, Dongfang Liuyun did not know what to say. She was silent for a long time before she replied—
“Logical? Sometimes, it’s precisely that I’m afraid of logical. Life seems to follow a predetermined path. What’s the point of living in such a future without any aspirations? I don’t want my future to be like this…”
“You inherited your mother’s ways in your bones, Liuyun…”
Dongfang Gan said somewhat helplessly, “Forget it. As long as you’re happy, it’s fine. However, the burden on your shoulders is too heavy. It’s not easy to find someone who can share that burden with you. My opinion is that Lan Xiu is your best choice.”
“Lan Xiu and I are just friends. We’re just good friends. I’m afraid that that’s all we’ll be in this lifetime.”
A smile appeared on Dongfang Liuyun’s indifferent face. As she spoke in a low voice, she turned her head to look out of the car window—
It was the start of the day. The sidewalk beside them was still filled with the footsteps of pedestrians who pa.s.sed by in a hurry…
“Father, if I really choose to marry someone one day, I hope that you can support me wholeheartedly. Can you fulfill this request?”
After some time, Dongfang Liuyun said this. As she did, she looked up at Dongfang Gan.
When she said this, Dongfang Gan was instantly stunned. He looked at Dongfang Liuyun in confusion before Dongfang Liuyun continued, “Other people won’t like what everyone thinks. Even if he marries me, his days to come might not be better than his previous life. In the end, it’s very likely that we have wronged him.”
Dongfang Liuyun suddenly raised her hand and rubbed the s.p.a.ce between her brows. She had not rested for the entire night, and her eyes were slightly bloodshot, “Lan Xiu also came to see you last night, but he had a Project in City C, and he had to catch a plane, so I let him busy himself first. The day after tomorrow is Qixi[1]. Tomorrow I’ll pack up and prepare the ingredients. After Qixi, I’ll officially enter the company to work.”
“You go back and rest well for a day or two. After Qixi, you can go back to work. I’ve already asked Ah Fei to take care of the relevant matters. You can rest well for two days. I’ll go back the day after tomorrow morning and prepare more good dishes. I might have to bring people back. Alright, Uncle Zhang, stop at the subway station in front. I still have some things to take care of.”
After Dongfang Liuyun gave her instructions, she did not plan to go back to Tanshan Villa anymore.
“Aren’t you going home for dinner? Father will make you some good food and get some ingredients too…”
Dongfang Gan looked at Dongfang Liuyun and frowned.
“I still haven’t figured out what happened last night. I don’t have time to enjoy it for now. I’ll go home the day after tomorrow.”
While Dongfang Gan could only sigh to himself—
“After Ah Fei has sorted out the information, I’ll ask him to send you another copy. You have to be careful too. Tomorrow, father will transfer two bodyguards for you…”
“I don’t need them. Leave them to Ms. Song. She has offended many people. Arrange more people so that we don’t have to worry.”
The car slowly came to a stop. Dongfang Liuyun got out of the car very quickly and waved at Dongfang Gan in the car before walking toward the subway station.
…
In Tai Yu Corporation’s President’s office.
When the phone on the table rang, Qi Lei was still focused on reading the doc.u.ments in hand.
The phone kept ringing. Qi Lei signed the doc.u.ment and then, he slowly took the phone from the side. Upon seeing the words on the phone screen, Qi Lei’s frown finally eased, he quickly picked up—
“Missus Qi?”
He actually called her that consciously, but it sounded quite pleasing to the ear.
Dongfang Liuyun raised her brows. The light in her eyes was somewhat bright and clear. She stood under Tai Yu Corporation’s skysc.r.a.per that towered into the clouds. She raised her head to look at the top floor that could not be seen. She said faintly, “What are you doing?”
What are you doing?
Hearing her question, Qi Lei could not react in time. He was stunned for a moment before he recovered. His deep voice was accompanied by an uncomfortable raspiness. “Reviewing doc.u.ments.”
It was a very short answer.
“What about after you’ve reviewed the doc.u.ments? Are they very important doc.u.ments?” She paused for a moment before continuing to ask.
“They’re quite important. They’re almost done. How’s father?” Qi Lei closed the doc.u.ments in his hands as he replied. He took a cup of tea and took a sip leisurely.
“He’s awake. He’s already home. Since that’s the case, I’m sure you don’t have anything important to do today. I’m downstairs at your company. Pack your things and come down quickly. It’ll take five minutes.”
Dongfang Liuyun quickly said these few words. Before he could answer, she hung up the phone.
However, Qi Lei was a little stunned. He thought he was hearing things. He looked at the phone in his hand for a long time. It was only when the screen dimmed that he realized what the woman had said!
Was she downstairs?
After regaining this awareness, Qi Lei packed his things on the table, put them into his briefcase, and left the office.
“President Qi, where are you going?”
Just as he walked out of the door, w.a.n.g Chun walked towards him. Seeing Qi Lei walk out with his briefcase in his hand, w.a.n.g Chun naturally felt that it was a little strange.
“I’m going out for a while. If anything, wait for me to come back first.”
With that, Qi Lei continued walking forward. In a short while, his tall and upright figure disappeared from w.a.n.g Chun’s sight.
About a few minutes later, Qi Lei took the private elevator and arrived at the lobby on the first floor. Along the way, there were naturally many people who greeted him. He nodded in response and did not slow down as he walked out.
Just as he reached the front of the stairs, he looked to a certain military green from the corner of his eye. As expected, he saw a certain woman by the side of the flower bed across from him, with long hair hanging down, she was squatting calmly while playing with a windmill in her hand…
