Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was also very cold. Her eyes were filled with determination as she stared fixedly at Dongfang Shuman

“I, Dongfang Liuyun, do not only live for the Dongfang family and the Dongfang Group. I have sacrificed my freedom to fulfill them. Now, you want me to sacrifice everything else too. My future life would be meaningless then, how does that make me different from a walking corpse?”

Dongfang Liuyun did not care about Dongfang Shuman’s cold gaze. When she looked down, she only saw that Dongfang Shuman’s shriveled hands were tightly clasped on the table. She must be suppressing the anger in her heart.

“Not everyone can have the same dedication as you, Grandmother. Not everyone has the same pursuit as you. I have always been very clear about the difference between friends and enemies. I only recognize my own people. I cannot be as loving as you, Grandmother.”

“Are you blaming me for not working hard to help you and your father?”

Dongfang Shuman’s sharp eyes flashed, and she firmly caught Dongfang Liuyun’s unpredictable gaze. Her slightly aged eyes focused on a pitch-black vortex, and Dongfang Liuyun could not see through it at all.

In Dongfang Liuyun’s heart, she had always known that Dongfang Shuman was a very scheming person. Moreover, she was meticulous and unfathomable. Even her dead grandfather had said so.

Hence, Dongfang Liuyun had never wanted to interact with Dongfang Shuman, much less guess her thoughts.

Furthermore, Dongfang Shuman’s prejudice towards Song Siting had always been very deep. The two of them did not have a good relationship. Dongfang Liuyun was sandwiched in the middle, so she might not be able to mediate between them. Dongfang Shuman had mostly educated Dongfang Liuyun, the relationship between the grandmother and granddaughter was not deep. Speaking of which, it might not be as harmonious as Dongfang Shuman and Dongfang Rou’er. However, Dongfang Shuman was an extremely authoritative person at home. When Dongfang Rou’er and the rest faced her, they would most likely deal with her carefully, they acted like they were running with tails between their legs.

“I did not say that.”

Dongfang Liuyun replied indifferently. However, the corner of her mouth curled into a cold smile, “However, since you are so sensitive to such a question, I believe that you already know it in your heart. Whether that is the case or not, only you would know.”

Dongfang Shuman finally laughed coldly at this moment. It seemed that she was no longer angry. Her tightly clenched hand was slowly released. After which, she relaxed a little before leaning back into the chair behind her.

“Your grandfather and I had two children, your father and your aunt. Why do you think your grandfather dared to hand the entire Dongfang family over to me? How did you think I propped up the entire family in the past? Liuyun, you are still too young. One day, when you’ve truly sat in my position, you’ll do the same as I did.”

Dongfang Shuman’s tone was very calm. There was no emotion to be heard at all, “Your mother used to resent me like this. She was just an outsider and didn’t understand the situation at all. She had no right to comment on anything. Your father is my biological son. Because of your mother’s relationship, it caused a lot of trouble between us mother and son. This is not what I wanted either.”

“I am just the person in charge of the family. At any time, you just need to remember this point.”

Hearing this, the smile on Dongfang Liuyun’s face became more and more obvious.

“I’ve always remembered that. That’s why I don’t have any extravagant hopes and expectations. Even if I don’t rely on you and don’t sell myself out, I can still fulfill my grandfather’s last wish.”

“What an arrogant tone.”

Dongfang Shuman sneered and glanced at Dongfang Liuyun, “What do you have to compete with them? Rou’er marrying the eldest Master of the Jin family will give them a lot of help. Your Second Uncle and the others are also quite powerful. What about you? What do you have? If it weren’t for your father trying his best to keep the shares in his hands, who could guarantee that those shareholders wouldn’t fall at the first sign of trouble? To be honest, you don’t have much of an advantage. If anything happens to the mines in Myanmar, the situation will be very bad for you. When that happens, even if you have more shares than them, you will still have to be controlled by them.”

“Have you ever thought about such a situation? Of course you don’t understand. What else does your headstrong mother, who only knows how to cause trouble, know other than to bring trouble for your father? She is simple-minded and only wants to stand higher. What does she want to prove?”

“She’s not what you think. I admit that she’s a little strong-willed, but she’s a person who knows her limits. Haven’t she helped the Dongfang Group accomplish many things over the years? Grandmother can’t just deny her hard work so easily.”

“Those who shoulder heavy responsibilities and achieve great things must have a meticulous mind. You’re the heir by default. I hope you can carefully consider it. If you insist on doing whatever you want, Don’t blame me for being ruthless. I can’t let the Dongfang Group fall in my hands.”

Dongfang Shuman’s words were very clear.

“Then, it’s up to you. Anyway, I just want to follow my heart. I’m already married to Qi Lei. He’s my husband now. I hope that Grandmother can respect him. My parents have already acknowledged his identity. If Grandmother can accept it, I’ll bring him back to meet you. If you can’t, then it’s not that important to us. Of course, I’m also set on the Dongfang Group.”

Dongfang Liuyun was also very persistent. After saying this, Dongfang Shuman’s expression immediately tensed up.

“To give up your identity for a man, Dongfang Liuyun, you’re really something! You’re too bold!”

‘Pa!’

Dongfang Shuman’s cold and stern voice sounded, followed by a loud bang—

It was the sound of the teacup in her hand fiercely knocking on the table. The water in the teacup splashed all over the table.

“Even if it’s not for him, I’d still do the same today. I won’t marry Fujiwara, nor will I beg him, and sacrifice myself to be a transaction. I won’t do such a thing. Grandfather has promised me before that I’ll make the decision myself. You can’t force me.”

Dongfang Liuyun’s gaze was calm as she said this calmly.

“Are you trying to challenge me now?”

“No, I’m just trying to protect what I care about. I can’t just lose everything.”

Dongfang Liuyun replied and took a deep breath. “I’m just following my heart. That’s all.”

“I’m going back. I know that you don’t want to see me right now. My mother is injured, and it hasn’t been easy for her these past few years. No matter what, I know that she would sacrifice herself for my father and me. I hope that you won’t criticize her too much, Grandmother. My father said that she doesn’t need to understand any righteousness. She just needs to protect the three of us. No, we’re a family of four now. That’s all that matters.”

After Dongfang Liuyun said this, she sighed and did not look at Dongfang Shuman anymore. She turned around and left the study.
