Aunty?
When Dongfang Liuyun mentioned this, Qi Lei was a little surprised. Only then did he remember that he had not met this legendary aunt, Dongfang Xue.
He had heard of Dongfang Xue from Dongfang Liuyun before, but he could not tell if she was a good person or a bad person. He only knew that Dongfang Xue seemed to be quite ambitious. Most of the time, she was not in the company, but outside, her business ability was very strong, but there were many people in the company who trusted her. In addition, Dongfang Shuman had doted on her all these years. Many people were secretly wondering if Dongfang Xue would become a dark horse in the future?
“Her? She will be back in a few days. Naturally, she will ne back to attend Rou’er and Jin Sheng’s wedding. In addition, the end of the year is approaching. We haven’t celebrated the new year together for so many years. I told them to come back for the new year no matter what.”
Dongfang Shuman said this because she was looking forward to the new year. Her physical condition was getting worse and worse. After surviving this year, it would be difficult to see the next year. She was just taking advantage of this new year to leave some memories behind.
Dongfang Shuman’s expression was very calm when she said this. There was no emotion in her old eyes. However, Ah Cai’s expression had dimmed. Her eyes could not hide the pain in them
No one knew more about Dongfang Shuman’s condition than she did. Previously, Dongfang Shuman was very weak. It was fine if she had to continue living. However, she could not feel rest a.s.sured about the Dongfang family. Hence, she asked the doctor to administer medicine, it was as if she had exhausted her body to maintain her current condition.
Everyone in the Dongfang family had been kept in the dark about this matter. Even Dongfang Gan and Dongfang Xue did not know about it.
“She has been wandering around the world for the past few years. She is a woman of a great age and has yet to form a family. Sigh, you have to take care of her more in the future. In a few days, ask your father to arrange a position for her in the company. You have to interact with her more often. Her abilities are quite good. It is not easy for an older lady. All her hard work has been handed over to the Dongfang Group. This is the fate of the Dongfang family’s women.”
Dongfang Shuman lowered her head and took a sip of tea. She could not help but cough a few times. Ah Cai quickly came over and patted her back to help her breathe.
“Grandmother, don’t worry. Aunty is our elder. We will naturally respect and take care of her,” Dongfang Liuyun replied.
“The road ahead will be very difficult. I can’t do much. You can only rely on yourselves. All these years, I believe that you will still blame me. Your father is the biological son of your grandfather and I. You are also my biological granddaughter. Logically speaking, I should be on your side, right?”
Speaking up to this point, Dongfang Shuman suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun paused for a moment before replying, “That’s not necessary. You are the ruler of the entire Dongfang clan. I understand what you are carrying on your shoulders. If I were to stand on your side, I would understand. Furthermore, who says that one can demand that the other party do something for you just because they have a blood relationship? In this world, no one is born to owe anyone. Everyone has their own standpoint.”
“It’s great that you can understand. You know the current situation very well. In the future, when you reach my position, you will understand my position and my considerations. There are some benefits that you can only understand after you come into contact with them and reach a certain level. Only then will you understand the situation and those considerations,” Dongfang Shuman said faintly.
Her gaze shifted to Qi Lei who was beside her, “And Qi Lei, it’s not easy to be the son-in-law of the Dongfang family. You have to take care of her in the future. Now that you two are married, I won’t say anything else. The most important thing is for the family to be harmonious and united. Since Ah Gan is very satisfied with you, I’m relieved. You don’t have to mind too much about her mother. She has always been short-sighted. She might not know about business matters. It’s good that you guys know what to do.”
“Yes, we all know what to do in our hearts. Don’t worry, Grandmother,” Qi Lei agreed.
“I came here today because of the scandals over the past few days. I was worried that there would be any unhappiness between the two of you, but now it seems like I worried too much. Qi Lei, Liuyun, listen up. Since you’re willing to choose this marriage, you must be loyal to it and work together to stabilize the company. I don’t want any clues to appear. I don’t care what kind of past you have. Since you’ve chosen to start over, don’t look back. Just look forward, understand?”
Dongfang Shuman’s words were rather sincere. Listen up, Dongfang Liuyun could also catch a hint of concern from her words. She was not as cold and indifferent as before, at this moment, Dongfang Shuman appeared to be indifferent and human. This was the most cordial Dongfang Liuyun had ever seen Dongfang Shuman.
“I know about those things. Grandmother, don’t worry. Liuyun has told me about them. I have also met Mr. Fujiwara. He is a very outstanding person. I hope that we can become good friends too. Those things were exaggerated by the media with ulterior motives. There is no need to take it seriously. I have already sent people to investigate this matter. When the time comes, the truth will definitely be clarified. This matter won’t affect us too much.”
“At this time, it’s not surprising that there’s some news. We know how to deal with it. Grandmother, don’t worry.”
As Qi Lei finished speaking, Dongfang Liuyun followed up. The husband and wife exchanged a look. Their eyes were filled with trust, which made Dongfang Shuman feel comforted in her heart. However, there was no expression on her face, she only turned to look at Ah Cai, who nodded at her with a smile.
At this moment, Dongfang Shuman took a deep breath. She slowly put down the teacup in her hand and slowly stood up, “Since you guys are fine, that’s good. be more careful in the future. It’s a rainy season now. It’s always good to have a heart, especially in the company. You should find out for yourself who should be closer to. Manager Xu from the HR department is about to take maternity leave. I don’t have to remind you what to do, right?”
As Dongfang Shuman spoke, her elite eyes were also looking at Dongfang Liuyun with an unfathomable gaze.
Dongfang Liuyun frowned and thought for a moment before replying, “I have already mentioned this matter to my father. Father’s intention was to arrange for Aunty to go over. is Grandmother’s opinion the same?”
Dongfang Liuyun’s words seemed to have a probing meaning. As she asked, she quietly looked at Dongfang Shuman.
