Chapter 1981: Indifference (4)

Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun was also startled. After some thought, she replied—

“I know.”

Even though Dongfang Shuman knew about the interests of the Dongfang family, as the person in charge, she still did not wish for the family to fall apart. She and Elder Dongfang had also experienced such suffering before, naturally, she did not want Dongfang Gan or Dongfang Liuyun to follow in their footsteps.

“Grandmother, you don’t have to worry too much about these things. You should take good care of your health.”

Qi Lei could also vaguely tell that although Dongfang Shuman still looked energetic, her aged face was much thinner than before. He could tell that she had been seriously ill recently, especially in such weather. Once she fell ill, it is difficult for her to recover.

“Don’t worry. My body is quite strong. Liuyun, you have to pay more attention to the company’s matters. Don’t put off what you can do.”

Dongfang Shuman’s health was deteriorating day by day. She was naturally worried that if she left like this, the Dongfang Group would be in trouble, so she had to make more plans.

…

Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun left after having dinner.

Ah Cai sent the couple out of the door.

“Fourth Miss, Master, if you have time, come back and visit President Shu more often. She’s lonely by herself. Recently, she’s been cooped up in the study. She sits there for the whole day. Furthermore, her health has been quite poor recently, so she needs our company.”

Dongfang Shuman was strict about keeping her illness a secret, so Ah Cai naturally did not dare to say too much. She could only remind her.

“We will, Auntie Cai, thank you for accompanying Grandmother,” Dongfang Liuyun thanked her.

“Fourth Miss, you’re too polite, this is just our duty. Right now, I only hope that President Shu can live a more relaxed life. President Shu has been too worn out these past few years. I…. also feel extremely sorry for her…” Ah Cai said with some disappointment. By the looks of her expression, it could be seen that she was not very calm. Qi Lei sized her up for a long time. Even though he wanted to ask something, he did not say it in the end.

“Liuyun and I will come back often to visit. We’ll have to trouble Auntie Cai to take good care of Grandmother for now.”

“Alright, I’ll stop here then. I still have to go back and get President Shu’s medication for her. Fourth Miss, Master, drive carefully on the road.”

Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun nodded gently. The couple then got into the car one after the other.

When the car returned to Grand Lake Villa area, it was already late at night.

The car slowly stopped at the entrance of the villa with the night breeze. From afar, they could see the familiar car waiting by the door, as well as the familiar license plate number. The familiar figure leaning against the door.

“Lan Xiu?”

Dongfang Liuyun looked at the figure in front with some surprise. She subconsciously turned his head to look at Qi Lei in the driver’s seat. “He just came over like this?”

Qi Lei shrugged. “Of course he’s concerned about you, get out of the car.”

The car came to a stop. Dongfang Liuyun got out of the car swiftly and walked towards the figure in front. Lan Xiu waved at her.

“It’s so late. Why are you here?”

Dongfang Liuyun’s voice was heard.

Lan Xiu looked down at her and took a deep breath, “Seeing how you look, it’s indeed a little worrisome. I only found out about the situation at De Bao House at noon. Uncle Ming… He left too suddenly. I called you but your phone was switched off the whole time. I was a little worried, so I came over to take a look. Are you guys okay?”

As Lan Xiu spoke, he looked up at Qi Lei who was following behind her.

Qi Lei extended his hand very gentlemanly. Lan Xiu tacitly raised his hand and slapped his palm.

“Let’s talk inside. It’s pretty cold outside.”

After Qi Lei said this, he took out his key card, walked to the door, swiped it, and opened the door.

Lan Xiu and Dongfang Liuyun followed behind him and entered.

The house was naturally much warmer. Dongfang Liuyun and Lan Xiu sat down on the sofa. Qi Lei made a few cups of hot tea and brought some fruit snacks.

“How did this happen all of a sudden?”

Lan Xiu frowned as he looked at Dongfang Liuyun.

“I want to know more than anyone else, but no one can tell me the answer. Uncle Ming’s death has made me feel terrible. It’s all because of me.”

Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes darkened again.

“Since things have already come to this, don’t blame yourself too much. I don’t think Uncle Ming will blame you.”

“It doesn’t matter whether he blames me or not, he’s not here anymore,” Dongfang Liuyun said dejectedly. “It’s also my fault for being too careless. I said that I was going to hire another person, but because I’ve been busy recently, this matter was put on hold. Now that it’s come to this, I…”

“I’m afraid that you can’t escape fate. I know you’re sad, so I didn’t feel at ease and came over to take a look. I hope you can take it easy. How’s the funeral preparations for Uncle Ming? Is there anything I can help you with?”

Lan Xiu was concerned.

“There’s no need. Qi Lei has already told me that the forensics still has to do the post-mortem. There’s nothing much to worry about after that. You should still be busy with the company’s matters. There shouldn’t be any problems with that project, right?”

Dongfang Liuyun almost forgot about this matter as she was busy all this time.

“Don’t worry. You’ve already done the plan so perfectly. If we still don’t get it, even I’ll start doubting my own abilities. I’ve already signed a contract with the other party, and the company can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”

Lan Xiu glanced at Dongfang Liuyun gratefully. His gaze quickly turned to Qi Lei, who had been silently tidying up the magazine on the sofa. “Liuyun told me about it. Qi Lei, I’m very grateful to you this time.”

“Grateful to me for what? I didn’t do anything,” Qi Lei replied indifferently. “However, I heard from Liuyun that the internal structure of your company is a little complicated. This will have a great impact on your future developments.”

Qi Lei did not go too far, and Lan Xiu understood what he meant.

After thinking for a moment, Lan Xiu smiled. “As expected, you reached the crux of the problem at a single point. This is also what I’m worried about. Therefore, I want to use this opportunity to change this relations.h.i.+p.”

“This isn’t something that happens overnight. You have to be more careful. This incident can’t happen again. Have you found that person?” Dongfang Liuyun frowned.

“Mmm, I know what to do. I’ve already asked Ah Li to handle this.”

“That’s good.”

“You guys chat. I’ll go up and send Mu Yuchen an email.”

Qi Lei tacitly left the s.p.a.ce for the two of them, then he got up and walked upstairs.

Dongfang Liuyun watched as his figure gradually disappeared at the stairs. After a long while, she retracted her gaze.
