Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The words of Dongfang Shuman made Ah Cai very sad, but she did not know how to comfort her.
She felt a sniffle and her eyes were very hot. She did not even dare to raise her head to look at Dongfang Shuman. She was very afraid that if she looked up, the tears in her eyes would not be able to be controlled.
In fact, even if she did not look up, she could barely control it.
With a ‘Pa’ sound, the burning tears fell on the back of her hand. She didn’t dare to make a sound. She was afraid that if Dongfang Shuman saw it, the master and servant would feel even worse.
Meanwhile, the sound of footsteps outside saved her.
There was a knock on the door and Dongfang Liuyun’s voice came in—
“Grandmother? Are you in there?”
Dongfang Shuman immediately looked up at the door. Her old eyes were filled with joy. “You’re back!”
Ah Cai quickly wiped her tears and took a deep breath—
“The Fourth Miss and Master are back, I’ll go get the door!” Ah Cai replied and quickly went up to greet them.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Liuyun had already pushed open the door and walked in. Qi Lei followed behind him.
“Grandmother, Auntie Cai!”
“Grandmother, Auntie Cai!”
Dongfang Liuyun and Qi Lei greeted them one after another.
“You’re back, come and sit.”
Dongfang Shuman’s face was a little amiable. She patted the seat beside her. Ah Cai hurriedly poured them water and then left.
“I heard that you haven’t been feeling very well recently. How are you feeling now?” Qi Lei asked with concern.
“It’s not a big problem. It’s just that my immunity has decreased as I get older. It’s easy to catch a cold when the weather turns cold. It’s not easy to get well either. You guys have to be careful to guard against the cold.” Dongfang Shuman coughed a few times and said weakly.
“Grandmother, you should take care of your health. Liuyun has been worried about you for a while. A few days ago, she was thinking of coming back to see you. It’s just that…”
“You guys just keep busy with your matters, especially since your mother has just entered the company. Although you guys can convince her, it’s not easy to get her recognition from everyone. Didn’t Liuyun take quite a long time to get to this point too?”
Speaking of Song Siting, although Dongfang Shuman still felt a little uncomfortable, since Song Siting had made some concessions, she naturally would not be stubborn too. She was a very wise person, she definitely would not make things difficult for those who sincerely wanted to repent.
“Grandmother, don’t worry, Mother is very diligent. She is very familiar with some of the Dongfang Group’s affairs. We can feel rest a.s.sured that she will handle the matters related to legal consultants.”
Dongfang Liuyun was very clear about her mother’s ability, so she naturally trusted her.
Dongfang Shuman nodded lightly, lowered her head and drank two mouthfuls of water. She let out a long sigh. “You also have to pay more attention to yourself and be wary of the people around you. I also know about your Uncle Ming’s matter. I know that you all want to hide it from me.”
When Dongfang Shuman said this, Dongfang Liuyun was momentarily stunned. She raised her gaze and looked quietly at Dongfang Shuman.
“You all need to pay more attention to this matter. I haven’t been feeling very well recently. Your father isn’t around either. Your mother has just entered the company and you have already received a lot of attention. You should still be smart when it comes to it.”
Dongfang Shuman did not say anything else after that. She did not say anything more.
Dongfang Liuyun naturally understood what she meant. She nodded happily. “I understand. I know what I’m doing.”
“Yes, you have to take care of your own matters. Don’t think too much about the De Bao House matter. Let the police investigate what needs to be investigated. This matter can not be blown up. Qi Lei has already gotten someone to calm things down for now, I’m relieved.”
At this point, Dongfang Shuman coughed again. Dongfang Liuyun quickly patted her back to help her breathe.
After a while, Dongfang Shuman raised her hand to stop her, “I know that you and Uncle Ming had a good relationship. Since this has already happened, you don’t have to be too sad. I can tell from your face that you’re just putting up a strong front. Just take it that he’s going to accompany your grandfather. I’ve already asked Ah Cai to handle it. He will be buried right next to the Dongfang family cemetery. He’s been with your grandfather for so many years. It’s not bad for him to accompany him there.”
“A few days ago, he even told me that he wanted to be there for my wedding with Qi Lei, unexpectedly, life is unpredictable. He left just like that. It was so fast that no one had time to react. Furthermore, he left in such a way.”
When Dongfang Liuyun talked about this, she could not help but feel a little bitter in her throat. She said with some difficulty, “I have to investigate this matter clearly. I have a feeling that it’s not that simple. Grandmother, you know that Uncle Ming is such a cautious person. He wouldn’t have accidentally caused this disaster. Moreover, the natural gas pipeline was just repaired a few days ago, I’m sure there’s nothing wrong with it.”
Dongfang Liuyun could not sit still when this matter is brought up.
Qi Lei reached out and held her down, signaling for her to calm down.
“You should handle this matter yourself. There are some things that you have to bear on your own. You can’t be like your mother. Otherwise, you won’t be able to truly sit in that position and take charge on your own.”
Dongfang Shuman sounded very serious.
“Yes, I understand.”
Dongfang Liuyun’s gaze was a little dark, but she could only tell herself in her heart that she had to be strong.
“Rou’er and Jin Sheng’s wedding is coming up soon. Your aunt will be back in a few days. After she comes back this time, I’m afraid that she won’t be able to leave City Z for a short period of time. You guys should consider what position you should place in the company.”
“Didn’t I say before that it’s all up to Grandmother?”
“The person in power in the company now is your father, and the person in power in the future will be you. Although I’m more partial to your aunt, I’m not a person who can’t distinguish between right and wrong. She can only be arranged in a suitable position for her. You’d better think it over carefully. You might not be able to make an appearance on this matter. You two father and daughter should arrange a position for her. I’ll arrange for her to take up the position.”
When Dongfang Shuman said this, her old eyes were filled with the radiance of an elite.
The Elder Madam’s wisdom, breadth of mind, and foresight made even Qi Lei, who was sitting at the side, very impressed.
Even though the Elder Madam had previously appeared to be very distant from Dongfang Gan and Dongfang Liuyun, in the end, she still sided with the father and daughter in her heart. However, the old man had never revealed himself. It was not easy for him to maintain his balance in such a complicated whirlpool.
Dongfang Liuyun was naturally shocked by Dongfang Shuman’s words. She looked at Dongfang Shuman in surprise…
“I know what kind of person your aunt is. However, no matter what, you must remember that she is after all your aunt and your father’s sister.”
Dongfang Shuman’s tone was also a little solemn after that.
