Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the couple went downstairs, there were a few more people in the living room. They were Dongfang Ren, Dongfang Yi, and Lin Yuanyuan.
Ever since Qi Lei announced his relationship with Dongfang Liuyun to the media, everyone had been wary of Dongfang Liuyun. After all, Qi Lei’s ident.i.ty was there.
However, they did not hear about Qi Lei’s visit later on. Everyone had doubts in their hearts. Unexpectedly, the Elder Madam suddenly informed everyone to come back. When they saw Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun appear together, everyone was a little stunned.
Jin Sheng and Dongfang Rou’er had rushed back just before lunch. When they saw Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun, they were naturally a little surprised. Dongfang Rou’er even tried to get close to Qi Lei. Qi lei only nodded politely in response, his att.i.tude was a little distant.
Lin Yuanyuan did not know her place and brought up the matters in the city east, which caused Dongfang Shuman to be dissatisfied—
Dongfang Shuman was not a person who liked to discuss business at a wine table, and it was during a time like this too, so she was naturally a little unhappy.
After lunch, Dongfang Ren and Dongfang Yi went to Dongfang Shuman’s study. Jin Sheng, Dongfang Rou’er, and the rest sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea. Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun were also there.
“I heard that Third Aunt was hospitalized a while ago. Because I was busy with work, I couldn’t visit often. I wonder if Third Aunt’s health is better now?”
The one who spoke was Dongfang Rou’er. As she spoke, she looked at Song Siting and exchanged glances with Lin Yuanyuan.
“Much better. Thank you for your concern.” Song Siting replied coldly.
In her heart, she naturally knew that the mother and daughter definitely did not have any good intentions.
“Lawyer Song has seen all kinds of storms and waves. Isn’t it just someone seeking revenge? Laywer Song’s spirit of upholding justice will naturally protect the safety of a good person’s life. So, there definitely won’t be any major problems. Don’t you think so, Lawyer song?”
As soon as Song Siting finished speaking, Lin Yuanyuan could not help but speak up. It was not difficult to catch a trace of hatred in her sharp and mean tone.
“Mother!”
Dongfang Rou’er glanced at Jin Sheng and Qi Lei who were already frowning. She glanced at Lin Yuanyuan with some dissatisfaction.
Lin Yuanyuan would definitely not be able to remain calm whenever she met Song Siting. After all, the Lin family’s hatred towards Song Siting was very deep and there was no way to reduce it.
“What kind of look is that? Don’t tell me what I’m saying is unreasonable?”
Lin Yuanyuan returned Dongfang Rou’er a disapproving look, and her gaze instantly landed on Song Siting.
Song Siting did not seem to have much of a reaction to Lin Yuanyuan’s provocation. She had long treated Lin Yuanyuan’s provocation as a common occurrence. Keeping silent was Dongfang Liuyun’s way of making Song Siting persevere.
“I heard that the Lin family’s situation is not great. Since First Aunt has the time to care about us, I a.s.sume that the situation is much better now?” Dongfang Liuyun asked indifferently and threw a concerned look at Lin Yuanyuan.
These words undoubtedly hurt Lin Yuanyuan. Everyone knew that the Lin family had been in a terrible state recently. Lin Yuanyuan had quarreled with Dongfang Ren several times because of it.
“I’ve always known that First Aunt is warm-hearted and loving. She’s a good person, and I’ve always respected her.”
When Dongfang Liuyun said this, she looked at Qi Lei, who looked at her tacitly. He nodded happily. “When you’re free later, First Aunt can come over to visit our place.”
After this friendly remark, Lin Yuanyuan coughed and did not continue. Instead, she glanced at Qi Lei with a gloomy look. Her gaze shifted to Dongfang Liuyun, who was leisurely pouring tea, her gaze could not help but turn gloomy again.
“Thank you. I’ll go over when I have time. I’m afraid I’ll be busy with Ah Sheng and Rou’er’s wedding. I don’t know when President Qi and Liuyun’s wedding will be. I’ve never heard of the two of you before. This surprise is really quite big.”
Lin Yuanyuan was putting on a fake smile. Up until now, she still could not believe that Qi Lei was married to Dongfang Liuyun. Based on Dongfang Liuyun’s personality, she could not have married Qi Lei just like that, she had a feeling that something was wrong.
She had even asked someone to check at the Civil Affairs Bureau. After confirming that Qi Lei had given Dongfang Liuyun information about his marriage, she had no choice but to accept this fact. However, she had a feeling that things were not that simple.
“It won’t be too long. The wedding will be held at the beginning of spring. When that time comes, I might need your help.”
“Is that so? That’s good too. Lawyer Song hasn’t taken care of these matters much. Besides her work, she hasn’t paid much attention to these matters in the past few years. Naturally, she doesn’t have much experience. If there’s anything you need, just let me know.”
Lin Yuanyuan still could not change its insinuation. There was always a thorn in Song Siting’s heart when she heard these words.
“Of course I care about my daughter’s marriage. Besides, I only need to care about these things once. I don’t want to worry about it so many times and make a fool of myself every time. What do you think, sister-in-law?”
On the Lin family’s side, Lin Yonghua had gotten married and divorced a few times before. He was also a marvel in the circle. Song Siting had always been very disgusted with the Lin family. They had all been sc.u.m. She was naturally very satisfied with the downfall of the Lin family, especially Lin Yuanyuan. They had always made things difficult for her and would not let go of her.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuanyuan’s expression changed drastically.
Dongfang Liuyun was not in the mood to watch the show. She glanced at the few of them and slowly stood up. She patted Qi Lei on the shoulder and walked out.
Qi Lei followed suit.
The cold wind was still blowing outside. Dongfang Liuyun had just walked down the stairs when her mother, Song Siting’s voice came from behind him
“Liuyun, come to my study for a while.”
As soon as she said that, Dongfang Liuyun turned around and saw that Song Siting had already walked into the corridor ahead.
Dongfang Liuyun frowned and subconsciously turned to look at Qi Lei. Qi Lei nodded. “Go. I’ll wait for you in your room later.”
At this moment, Dongfang Liuyun took a shallow breath, “Alright then. You can walk around too. The scenery in the garden is not bad either. It’s not inferior to the Qi family’s old residence. When Grandmother was young, she liked flowers too. Grandfather had the servants plant many plum trees and some flowers to keep out the cold, so you can still see many flowers in full bloom in winter here.”
“Yes, I know. Don’t worry. We’ll go back earlier later, I think you look quite tired too.”
“It’s all your fault.”
Dongfang Liuyun gave him a sideways glance, then turned and walked to the corridor ahead.
