Chapter 2044: Late Night Wind and Rain (4)
After hanging up the phone, Dongfang Liuyun’s gloomy face finally eased up a little.
The call meant that Qi Lei had been rescued by his uncle, w.a.n.g Xun. However, it was still unknown whether he was alive or dead.
Even so, this news was already very good news for Dongfang Liuyun. As long as she knew that he had been rescued, it meant that there was still hope. This was also good news. Previously, when she found out about Qi Lei’s relationship with his uncle w.a.n.g Xun from Qi Qiming, she thought, since he was his uncle, he would definitely do his best to save him, right?
Dongfang Liuyun was also praying silently in her heart, praying that he was fine and would be okay.
This was good too. It was windy and rainy here, and he was injured. It was better to recuperate in a quiet place than to come back and suffer here. This meant that she could be eased and do whatever she wanted now!
The next morning, Dongfang Liuyun woke up very early. It was the end of the year holiday and New Year’s Eve was the day after tomorrow. She had a lot of work to do. Fortunately, the company’s Vice President Zhong, whom Qi Lei had brought up, was very capable, after arranging the things for the annual party well, Dongfang Liuyun was relieved.
After all, she still had a lot of work to do during the New Year break. She had been leaving early and returning late these few days, so she did not have time to rest at all. w.a.n.g Chun felt his heart ache when he saw this.
Dongfang Group had already reached the incandescent stage. If nothing unexpected happened, Dongfang Rou’er would very likely become the acting president of Dongfang Group after the New Year.
The news of Dongfang Gan waking up had not spread yet. In fact, although Dongfang Gan had already woken up, he was still very weak. The moment he woke up, he would think about handling the company’s matters and look for traces of Qi Lei. With all this work, he who was already very weak could not endure it anymore. In the past two days, he had fallen into a coma from time to time.
Dongfang Liuyun was very worried. After hearing from the doctor that he was just overworked, she felt slightly relieved.
After a busy day, she rushed over to see Dongfang Gan in the evening. Dongfang Gan was still in a coma.
Song Siting looked very haggard. Dongfang Liuyun sat with her for a while. The company’s phone kept calling to urge her. Today was the company’s annual meeting.
Song Siting knew that she was very busy, so she urged her to go.
Song Siting had been very understanding recently. She was not as unreasonable as before. Her husband and son-in-law had met with accidents one after another. She did not feel good either. She even felt a little worried and afraid. Seeing that her daughter was so tired and was not alone now, she wanted to help, but she did not know what she could do at the moment. Dongfang Liuyun and Dongfang Gan had said to leave things at Dongfang Group alone for now and watch the fire from the other side. Therefore, she could only take good care of Dongfang Gan for now.
“Liuyun, you have to rest well when you go back. It’s going to be the New Year soon. Look at you, you look much more haggard. You have to take care of yourself. Don’t forget about the child in your stomach.”
Song Siting sent Dongfang Liuyun out of the ward and said worriedly.
Dongfang Liuyun nodded. “Don’t worry, I will naturally take care of myself. Father is fine, he just needs enough time to rest. It’s been hard on you to take care of him. When he wakes up, don’t let him worry about the company’s matters. I will take care of it.”
Dongfang Liuyun reminded her worriedly.
“I know. The doctor has told me many times. Your father is just worried. If the company is going to worry him to this extent, he should just forget about it so he doesn’t have to worry anymore.”
Song Siting sighed and turned to look at Dongfang Liuyun, “Your aunt came over a while ago and talked to your father for a while. I couldn’t find out what they said. I saw your aunt’s expression when she came out, she didn’t look too good. Don’t tell me it’s because of the company? Sigh, your father’s heart has already suffered a big blow after your grandmother left. We mustn’t let your father and your aunt be separated again. Now… He and your aunt have a pretty good relationship, so…”
Song Siting looked at Dongfang Liuyun hesitantly. She did not continue what she wanted to say.
Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes darkened. She recalled the things Dongfang Shuman had told her before, asking her to treat her Aunt Dongfang Xue Well. Moreover, Dongfang Xue had expressed her stance before.
After thinking for a moment, she replied, “Mother, don’t worry. Aunt has always been on father’s side. It won’t be a transactional relationship between them. I think that perhaps they were talking about grandmother’s matter. Don’t let your imagination run wild.”
When she heard that and thought about it, it made sense. Dongfang Gan and Dongfang Xue’s relationship with Dongfang Shuman was very delicate. If she said that she did not care about it at all, it would definitely be a lie, especially the concern that Dongfang Shuman had shown recently, she clearly cared about Dongfang Gan and Dongfang Xue. Perhaps she had done that previously to protect them.
The old lady was a very intelligent person. She had her own ways of doing things.
Later on, the mother and daughter did not say anything more. Dongfang Liuyun also rushed over to attend the company’s annual meeting. Dongfang Xue also went over to attend the company’s annual meeting on the same day.
That night, Dongfang Liuyun did not stay too long. After a simple speech and exchange, she left.
On the morning of New Year’s Eve, Dongfang Liuyun went to pay respects to w.a.n.g Qin and brought Ah Cai along. Secretary Ding went home for the New Year.
She asked Ah Cai to wait by the car below. Dongfang Liuyun went up on her own.
She knew her husband’s feelings for his mother-in-law, w.a.n.g Qin. She also knew that it was not easy for w.a.n.g Qin. Therefore, Dongfang Liuyun still respected w.a.n.g Qin. Since Qi Lei could not come over to pay respects, she had to complete this filial duty on their behalf.”
“Mother, you must bless Qi Lei and let him return safely. There are still many things at home that still needs his support.”
As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she placed the large bouquet of daisies in her arms in front of w.a.n.g Qin’s tombstone. She quietly stared at the photo of w.a.n.g Qin on the tombstone and suddenly realized that Qi Lei actually looked more like w.a.n.g Qin.
She had always felt rather regretful that she had not been able to interact with w.a.n.g Qin in person. Hearing about her, she must have been a pretty good person and a great mother, right?
Dongfang Liuyun took a deep breath and was about to say something when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. She slowly turned around and realized that Xi Xiaye was walking over with a large bouquet of carnations.
“Liuyun!”
When XI Xiaye saw Dongfang Liuyun, her beautiful face lit up with a smile. In just a few steps, she arrived beside Dongfang Liuyun.
“Xiaye, why are you here?”
Dongfang Liuyun straightened up slightly as her expression softened.
“It’s New Year’s Eve today. I came to take a look. I didn’t expect you to be here too,” Xi Xiaye replied.
