Dongfang Rou’er’s anxious cries could be heard. Jin Sheng also frowned and asked for help to help her up.
“Your uncle, your uncle… something happened to the Lin family! I have to go back, I have to go back!”
Lin Yuanyuan was in a daze as she said this. She staggered away from Dongfang Rou’er’s support and struggled to walk out.
“Mother! What happened to the Lin family? What happened?”
Dongfang Rou’er felt uneasy and hurriedly chased after her.
Dongfang Liuyun just looked on indifferently. There was no expression on her face. Before Jin Sheng chased after her, he turned to look at Dongfang Liuyun. However, Dongfang Liuyun indifferently retracted her gaze, she walked up the stairs without a care in the world.
In front of the main hall on the second floor, there was a large and simple room with simple decorations.
Dongfang Liuyun subconsciously stopped in front of the door.
The large room in front of him was Dongfang Shuman’s study. No, to be precise, it should be Grandfather Dongfang’s study. After Elder Dongfang passed away, it also became Dongfang Shuman’s study.
Dongfang Liuyun had a deep impression of this study. When Grandfather was still around, this was the place where the grandfather and granddaughter explored and interacted. Now that everything had changed, thinking about it still made her feel a little sad.
Dongfang Liuyun took a deep breath. After a long time, she finally calmed down. She took a step forward and gently knocked on the door.
“The door isn’t locked.”
An old and cold voice soon came from inside.
It was Dongfang Shuman’s voice.
Dongfang Liuyun quickly pushed the door open and walked in.
It was not as good as the room just now. Soon, he saw Dongfang Shuman sitting behind a large desk with her back to him.
Dongfang Shuman was also a rather legendary iron hand. Elder Dongfang valued her very much. The old couple had gotten married when they both had reached middle age, but the Dongfang Group had truly risen in the hands of the two of them.
Dongfang Shuman was definitely a very ambitious and very unyielding woman. Dongfang Xue’s personality was very much like hers. At least in Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes, she thought so.
Dongfang Liuyun and Dongfang Shuman could not be considered very close. Although she, Dongfang Liuyun, was Dongfang Shuman’s biological granddaughter, Dongfang Shuman had never cared much about kinship. She lived very objectively and very rationally.
In her heart, this was how Dongfang Liuyun evaluated her.
“Grandmother.”
Dongfang Liuyun did not think too much. She came to the desk, stopped her footsteps, and called out softly.
“I thought you wanted me to personally invite you over. I haven’t seen you for a long time. Your unruly character has not changed at all. You will definitely suffer in the future because of your character.”
Dongfang Shuman’s hoarse and old voice was very clear in the quiet study. Her calm tone made it impossible to tell the emotions in her words, but the old lady’s aura was imposing.
“Something happened on my side and I couldn’t come. You should know about my mother’s situation. My mother also expressed her regret, but she had meticulously prepared a birthday gift for you.”
Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was flat as she replied.
“You don’t have to speak up for her. I know what kind of person she is. Don’t think that I don’t know anything about what happened in City Z. Why are you here alone today?”
The old Madam’s voice carried a trace of questioning. As she spoke, she turned her chair around. Her tensed face appeared unusually serious, especially her pair of sharp and threatening eyes.
Dongfang Shuman was actually very thin. Over the past few years, she had been enduring the pain of illness all year round. That was why she had temporarily handed over the management of the Dongfang Group to Dongfang Gan while she had gone overseas to recuperate.
Even so, she was very clear about the situation of the Dongfang Group.
Dongfang Liuyun did not answer because she knew that it was best for her to remain silent for now.
“You’re too bold. You handled your marriage so hastily without telling everyone in the family. What are you trying to do to the Dongfang family? Do you still have a grandmother in your eyes?”
Dongfang Shuman’s tone was filled with a hint of anger, but she did not explode completely.
Dongfang Shuman had always been very skilled at controlling her emotions. Although she was very angry about this incident, she could still control herself now.
Dongfang Liuyun was not surprised. Dongfang Shuman had always been well-informed. It was only a matter of time before she found out about her relationship with Qi Lei. It was normal, so she did not panic, instead, her reaction was calm.
“We’ve already visited my parents. The betrothal gifts have been given. They’ll have to acknowledge this son-in-law even if they don’t want to.”
Dongfang Liuyun decided to go all out.
“Are you threatening me to accept? You’ve grown so capable. After being away for so many years, you’ve learned how to go against me and how to talk back to me?”
Dongfang Shuman’s lips curled into a cold smile as she looked at Dongfang Liuyun without blinking.
“I’m just telling you a fact.”
“A fact? What if I don’t accept?”
Dongfang Shuman’s aura did not decrease as she looked at Dongfang Liuyun indifferently, “While the news is still unclear, I hope that you can settle this relationship. You and Fujiwara are a good couple. I want you to marry into the Fujiwara family. You should know that this is your best choice. Besides, didn’t you have a very happy past with Fujiwara?”
“Settle the relationship? How? Divorce Qi Lei and marry Fujiwara?”
Dongfang Liuyun’s lips curled into a cold smile. “That’s impossible. My marriage can only be decided by myself. Since I’ve married, then I’m done.”
“You’re really arrogant. I know you don’t care about anything. Your parents have been holding on very hard. Can’t you think about them? Don’t you care about the entire Dongfang Group? Dongfang Liuyun!”
Dongfang Shuman was almost angered by Dongfang Liuyun to the point that she could not catch her breath.
“What do you think everyone’s hard work is for? Your grandfather allowed you to do whatever you want. Think about the Dongfang family. It’s necessary to make some sacrifices. I’m afraid that you still don’t understand the situation of the entire family. Do you think that your father’s encounter in Myanmar was a coincidence?”
Dongfang Shuman’s tone was unusually cold and sharp.
“You know, I may not care about the Dongfang Group. If it wasn’t for grandfather’s last words, I wouldn’t have been so passive to be dragged into such a whirlpool. I don’t think that my choice and persistence are wrong. I have already taken on the responsibility that I should take on. Don’t you think you’re going too far to want to interfere in my marriage and life too?”
Dongfang Liuyun also said coldly.
“Don’t evade the question, you know what happened to your father.”
