Hearing this, Ah Cai was stunned. She thought for a moment and suddenly seemed to have noticed something. She quickly asked—
“Then, President Shu, the Fourth Lady had given these things to you. If Vice President Yi finds out that they are hers…”
“That won’t happen. Dongfang Yi is naturally suspicious. The more Liuyun gives these doc.u.ments to me without any scruples, the more he will be grateful to Liuyun. As long as they investigate this matter, they will definitely find out that it is Lin Yuanyuan’s masterpiece. Moreover, Lin Yuanyuan has been keeping an eye on them for a long time. He will definitely be glad that Liuyun obtained this information by accident. Otherwise, they would be even more affected.”
Dongfang Shuman’s old eyes were filled with an elite light as she said with certainty.
Ah Cai listened and pondered for a moment before saying, “After President Shu said this, it seems that I can understand some of it. Theoretically speaking, it is indeed more appropriate for the Fourth Lady to directly hand these things over to you. After all, if this matter is exposed, the impact will be very bad. If it is not good, the reputation of Master Yu might even be directly ruined. Although these matters are not a big deal in the circle, if they surfaced, it would be the Dongfang family that loses face.”
Dongfang Shuman took a deep breath and lowered her head to take a sip of tea, “You’re onto something. Liuyun saw through this point and wanted to borrow my hand. Her motive is very clear. Firstly, she wants to see my reaction. Secondly, she wants to make this matter not so simple. Do you think she didn’t have a backup plan for herself? As long as Dongfang Yi goes to investigate, he will definitely follow the clues to Lin Yuanyuan. If we’re wrong, Dongfang Yi’s next step will definitely be to have Dongfang Yu temporarily hide from the limelight.”
As Dongfang Shuman spoke, she could not help but sigh, “She’s always been smart, like her grandfather. Just wait and see. After the South River Project, she wouldn’t just be wanting Lin Yuanyuan’s position. Previously, when Qi Lei agreed to this project so easily, I didn’t think it was that simple. This person is also somewhat unfathomable. After this matter, Dongfang Ren and Dongfang Yi will definitely fight. Dongfang Yu might be transferred out. This balance is going to be broken.”
“Fourth Lady is very smart. Even the Elder President thought highly of her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taught her the fate of the company and the family. It’s a pity that she’s not a man. After all, these are the family’s many years of glory and heritage.”
Ah Cai also said with some disappointment. Although she herself also admired Dongfang Liuyun, as the Dongfang family’s a.s.sistant for more than 20 years, she had also witnessed the development of the Dongfang Group, naturally, she hoped that this ‘Dongfang’ would continue forever.
“That will depend on what kind of sacrifices Qi Lei can make. Although I’m not the kind of person who values bloodlines, I still hope that the Dongfang family can continue forever. But now you can see that the relationship within the family is fragmented, and everyone is looking after their own interests. Even if we can hold on for a while, we might not be able to walk down this path with dignity.”
Dongfang Shuman said gloomily, “This situation reminds me of the tests I went through when I was with her grandfather. The Dongfang Group was plagued by internal and external problems. I always felt that they had more courage back then, especially when I went to negotiate with the other party alone. The other party held a gun to my head and told me to finish my words.”
“President Shu, your boldness is not something that ordinary people can compare to. Other than the lack of overall ability, young people nowadays do not have the same courage as you. I think this is also the reason why the Elder President took a fancy to the Fourth Lady.”
“Her personality is more like her grandfather and her father’s. This is a good thing. As long as she does not follow her insensible mother, I will be relieved. How is Song Siting these days?”
At the mention of Song Siting, Dongfang Shuman’s eyes showed some repulsion. It had been decades, but she still could not accept this Song Siting. She could not understand what her son had taken a fancy to that woman!
“Lawyer Song, everything is still normal. She met Master Fujiwara not long ago, and she still disapproves of Fourth Lady marrying Second Master Qi. Because of this matter, the mother and daughter are also unhappy, just like you before…”
When Ah Cai said this, her voice suddenly lowered, but when Dongfang Shuman heard this, she sneered disdainfully—
“She’s so shameless! Why doesn’t she see what kind of person she is? No matter what, Qi Lei can be considered to be able to protect Liuyun well. What ability does she, Song Siting, have? Other than that disgusting arrogance, what does she, Song Siting, have? To have such a daughter-in-law is considered a misfortune for the family.”
Dongfang Shuman’s prejudice towards Song Siting had never diminished. At this moment, even her words had become harsh.
“If she could come to her senses, Ah Gan and Liuyun wouldn’t have had to work so hard. If it wasn’t for Ah Gan being vigilant, she wouldn’t have been so calm after that son of the Lin family committed suicide. Ah Gan is someone who has never been willing to give in. It’s because of her that he had given in to me several times. I’m afraid that she, Song Siting, doesn’t understand these things. How can such a selfish woman have the nerve to talk about love?”
“President Shu, don’t be angry. It’s been decades. I think that she and President Gan should have gotten used to each other by now. They are both destined to spend their lives together. Moreover, the Fourth Lady is already all grown up. Don’t worry about these things anymore.”
Ah Cai looked at Dongfang Shuman, who could not help but get angry, worriedly.
“It’s precisely because I know that they are people who will spend their lives together. That’s why I have to take advantage of this time to properly resolve these things. Ah Gan is my son. Although there is a barrier between us, mother and son are still mother and son. He values relationships too much. This is not a good thing. So I have to help him.”
“President Shu wants to…”
Ah Cai asked tentatively.
Dongfang Shuman’s black eyes flickered for a moment. She lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea. Then, she said indifferently, “Didn’t she say that she wanted to see me a few days ago?”
“Yes. Lawyer Song called several times before and said that she wanted to see you, but you refused,” replied Ah Cai.
Dongfang Shuman took a deep breath. Although she did not want to see Song Siting, she would have to see her now. Taking advantage of Dongfang Gan’s absence, she had to thwart Song Siting’s arrogance and let her understand her position.
“Okay, call Tanshan Villa area now. I’ll go over there tonight.” Dongfang Shuman said.
Ah Cai quickly nodded. “Alright, I’ll call Lawyer Song now.”
As she said that, Ah Cai left.
Dongfang Shuman’s eyes darkened as well. She leaned back in her chair somewhat tiredly.
