Yang Sheng then carefully looked at Qi Lei again. When he saw that his expression remained calm as usual, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been paying close attention to Dongfang Liuyun as of late, especially after she was hospitalized. The private detectives had yet to give him an accurate report, but Yang Sheng vaguely know about the complexities of the Dongfang family’s internal matters, and it seemed the waters ran quite deep.
Thus, he could not quite explain clearly what the situation on Dongfang Liuyun’s end was like.
However, even he said that it was quite the storm over there, so would Master Qi go?
After all, Master Qi never liked meddling in other people’s business and was not willing to have dealings with complicated people. Yang Sheng did not know why he said it anyway…
Nevertheless, a long while after Yang Sheng finished, Qi Lei did not answer. However, his gaze had already moved away from his laptop screen and he turned to look out of the car window. The sun was already setting outside and the warm twilight covered the entire ground.
Qi Lei did not make a sound as he sat there quietly, and even when his laptop screen had dimmed, he did not realize it.
Yang Sheng did not dare make a sound to disturb him.
It felt as if a century had passed when his lowered and slightly raspy voice came through indistinctly, “Let’s return to the office.”
“Master Qi, aren’t we going over?” Yang Sheng asked a little nervously.
Qi Lei did not answer. He just silently gathered his gaze and looked at the laptop screen on his lap again.
Yang Sheng dared not say anything else. He turned to hint at the chauffeur with his eyes before the latter quickly started the car and made their way to Tai Yu Corporation.
Even though everything was on track, Qi Lei’s work was not easy. Tai Yu Corporation was still very young while Qi Kai was a well-known listed company and they had some inside information. Merging both of them together perfectly was not easy.
Therefore, sometimes, Qi Lei would still need to spend some time handling disagreements. In the past few days, he had practically been resting in the office. With only those few hours of rest, Yang Sheng felt sad.
The New Era Plaza was not too far away from Tai Yu Corporation. It was only a 10-minute journey when there was no traffic jam.
When they reached Tai Yu Corporation, Qi Lei suddenly said as he opened the car door to get down, “Choose a gift to send over.”
Before Yang Sheng could react, he walked straight into the company building.
“Master Qi…”
Instead, Yang Sheng was the one who could not quite react immediately. Only a while after he snapped back did he do as he was ordered.
…
The sky gradually turned dark. After a couple of drinks, the people who were intoxicated on the dance floor continued to linger around. Dongfang Liuyun found a pillar by the corner of the winding corridor to sit down and coldly watch all the happy faces chatting away. Her indifferent lips remained gently pursed though her gaze was filled with hostility.
Dongfang Ren had walked out of the residence with the company of his son, Dongfang Xin. He was standing out front and greeting the guests warmly while the table on the side was piled with gifts. Dongfang Ren seemed radiant, unable to hide his delight and happiness.
He was only slightly older than Dongfang Gan and was slightly chubby although he looked very high in spirits. You could not quite see any shadow of Old Master Dongfang within him whereas his brows looked very much like their mother’s when she was younger. Majestic in appearance, when they were younger, Dongfang Ren and Dongfang Yi were famous young heirs in the circle. Besides coming from a good family background, their looks were, in fact, rather outstanding too. Above all, they were admired by many upper-class young ladies.
Right now, Dongfang Ren was introducing his son, Dongfang Xin, to the influential people in the circle, and of course, some upper class young ladies from decent family backgrounds.
The youngest generation of the Dongfang family’s direct line of descent were all not married, thus today’s banquet was meant to be quite a lively one. Many people put their focus here because as long as they could catch either one of them, they would benefit greatly.
The banquet seemed like it was about to begin. Upfront, Dongfang Ren was smiling as he took over the microphone that the host held. He made some conventional greetings earnestly and was planning to continue when there was suddenly a commotion at the entrance that made everyone looked over.
At the flower arch, a tall figure greeted their sight.
The man dressed in a dark tailored suit had a handsome face and exuded an elegant aura while his eyes were profound as a deep lake. His thin lips were pursed slightly, and there was a coldness about him, yet his appearance made everyone, especially the heiresses present…
The First Master of the Jin family was Jin Sheng, the Jin family’s most mighty and outstanding figure, and also the most likely successor of the Jin family!
His outstanding looks made one envious. Jin Sheng was no doubt every single young lady’s ideal partner. Many of them who wanted to befriend him only got a look of disdain. He rarely had any scandals about him. Apart from the recent talk about how he had been getting close to the Fifth Young Lady of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Rouer, and how they were suspected to be dating, you did not hear too many rumors about him.
“First Master Jin is here!”
“Quickly go in and call my sister to come out!”
When Dongfang Xin saw Jin Sheng walk in, he quickly went up to him eagerly as he called for the servants to call Dongfang Rouer out. His meaning was actually quite obvious.
“Okay, First Master!” the servant replied, and then quickly turned around to walk into the residence.
After a while, before the crowd could react, a graceful figure appeared. Everyone subconsciously looked over to see Dongfang Rouer’s figure greet their sight.
Dressed in an off-shoulder dress patterned with red-crowned cranes and adorning a dazzling diamond necklace on her chest with her beautiful hair up in a bun to reveal that exquisitely beautiful face of hers, she looked noble and as holy as a goddess. Even though she looked slightly frail, that only made people feel a tenderness toward her.
The main highlight of this birthday banquet was actually not Dongfang Ren but Dongfang Rouer.
In the corner, Dongfang Liuyun, who leaned against the railing, watched all of this without a change in expression, but a faint curve flashed on the corner of her lips. She lowered her gaze and continued sip the warm water.
“Rouer.” Jin Sheng who was greeting Dongfang Xin very quickly turned and looked at Dongfang Rouer tenderly.
“Ah Sheng, you’re here!”
Dongfang Rouer walked down the stairs elegantly and over to Jin Sheng.
At this moment, Dongfang Ren smiled and walked over too. Jin Sheng averted his gaze and took a step forward.
“Happy birthday, Uncle Dongfang. May you always bask in the glory that you have today,” Jin Sheng wished simply, and then reached out to indicate for his assistant to present the gift.
