“Mmm.”

Dongfang Liuyun nodded solemnly.

“Your father has protected both you and your mother very well. Liuyun, you should be grateful that you have such a father.”

Dongfang Xue seemed to be hinting at something. When Dongfang Liuyun turned around to look at her, she saw that her gaze was a little deep. She wanted to ask something, but Dongfang Xue’s voice had already continued—

“It’s naturally for the best that you can think this way. The depths of our clan’s undercurrents are not as simple as you think. I hope that you will have to pay attention and experience many times. There are some things that are not as you see them on the surface. All these years, everyone has been working hard.”

Dongfang Xue’s tone became a little calm. As she spoke, her footsteps became a lot heavier.

“I heard that comfort is reserved for those who are in eternal rest.”

“Your words do make some sense.”

Dongfang Xue did not refute and continued along with Dongfang Liuyun’s words, “After your grandfather passed away, your grandmother’s strength has been somewhat lacking. You and your father should show more concern for her. All these years, the relationship between the two of you has been very indifferent. Don’t wait until the future to regret it. Your grandmother’s situation is far worse than you can imagine.”

When Dongfang Liuyun heard these words, her face sank for no reason. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Dongfang Xue.

“You don’t have to look at me with such a surprised expression. I naturally have my own way of getting information. I didn’t mean anything by telling you this. I just hope that you can spend more time with her. This is also the reason why I’m willing to return to the headquarters.”

“Grandmother, in the end...”

“She’s just sick from hard work. Her life is very fragile, just like Uncle Ming. You don’t know when she’ll come and when she’ll leave.”

Dongfang Xue took a deep breath as she spoke.

“I bear a huge responsibility for what happened to Uncle Ming.”

“There’s no real meaning in pursuing responsibility. If someone dies, they die. Even if you died too, you can’t change the truth. You’re not an extremely vicious person.”

Dongfang Xue interrupted Dongfang Liuyun, “After Rou’er’s marriage with the Jin family, your life may not be easy. You’ll experience the feeling of living in a crevice very deeply.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. When will your father return?”

Dongfang Xue stopped talking about these things.

“Father hasn’t answered the phone for a few days. I’m also a little uneasy about the situation in Myanmar. I keep feeling that Father’s trip this time is a little abnormal.”

“The dispute over there can not be resolved in two or three days. I’ve been there before and there are many things that need to be dealt with. It’s easy to have conflicts of interest in the mines that are jointly developed. Moreover, a strong dragon can not suppress a local snake. It’s very likely that your father will return empty-handed this time. If this is the result, your father won’t have much confidence in the shareholders’ meeting after the New Year. So, your father must gain something from this trip.”

“Of course, you have a big bargaining chip on you. Since you’re married to Qi Lei now, he should have some trump cards to back you up.”

“He doesn’t involve us. Aunty, you’re thinking too much.”

Dongfang Liuyun frowned.

“That’s where you’re wrong. Do you think your grandmother is really willing to accept you two just because you’re in love with Qi Lei? You’re wrong. Her foresight is beyond your imagination. If Qi Lei didn’t have a trump card and could withstand the storms that might happen in the future, your grandmother definitely wouldn’t have taken the risk!”

Dongfang Xue laughed.

“Moreover, Fujiwara has always been your grandmother’s favorite grandson-in-law. You also know that your grandmother has never been a person who changes her mind easily, no matter how determined you appear to be. I think she must have told you about the possibility of crippling you?”

“How did Aunt know about this?”

Dongfang Liuyun looked at Dongfang Xue warily.

“I said that I have my ways.”

“Then what do you mean by telling me this now?” Dongfang Liuyun asked indifferently.

“Then what do you think? Do you think Aunt will harm You?”

Dongfang Xue took a deep breath and turned her head to look at Dongfang Liuyun. There was a faint sense of desolation in her eyes—

Dongfang Liuyun had never seen such a Dongfang Xue before.

“I don’t know. In this family, I have no idea who I can trust.”

“Do you trust your father?”

“My father, of course I do.”

“That’s good. You were right to listen to him.”

“Aunt, why are you telling me these things?”

Dongfang Liuyun did not understand Dongfang Xue’s intentions.

Dongfang Xue smiled calmly, “You will understand in the future. I also have my own goals. You are right. Other than those few people whom you feel that you can trust, you must not trust anyone else, including me and your grandmother. Otherwise, you will regret it. Really.”

Dongfang Liuyun was a little puzzled by these words, but Dongfang Xue was not willing to explain too much.

...

That night was very lively. There were many guests who came to congratulate them. Dongfang Liuyun was introduced by Dongfang Shuman and became familiar with many families that had deep ties with the Dongfang family. Of course, Dongfang Xue also accompanied her throughout the entire journey.

That night, Dongfang Liuyun stayed over at the old residence and did not return to the Grand Lake Villa area.

The next morning, when the sky had just turned gray, the old mansion was already very lively. The servants who were tidying up were already busy. The guests first came to visit, and then some people sent Dongfang Rou’er out, some people rushed to the hotel with Dongfang Shuman in the afternoon.

In Dongfang Rou’er’s room, after breakfast, the makeup artist had already come over to help her put on her makeup and wedding dress.

However, Dongfang Rou’er’s mood was a little off. Her face was gloomy the entire time. The makeup artist looked at her and felt a little awkward. Lin Yuanyuan, who was at the side, was even more nervous.

“Rou’er, can’t you be a little happier? It’s such an auspicious day. What do you want Ah Sheng to do? What do the Jin family and the guests think?”

Lin Yuanyuan lowered his voice and whispered into Dongfang Rou’er’s ear, “Besides, your father has already agreed and you’ve signed the letter. What else do you want?”

Dongfang Rou’er’s eyes were very dark.

‘Knock knowck—’

As Lin Yuanyuan’s voice fell, there was a knock on the door.

“Who is it? It’s so annoying!”

Lin Yuanyuan shouted, his voice filled with irritation.

‘Ka—’

The sound of the door opening could be heard.

The mother and daughter followed the sound and looked over. They saw Dongfang Xue standing silently in front of the door.

“Aunt...”

“Ah Xue!”

Two voices sounded at the same time.

“Are you not ready yet? It seems that the wedding procession is about to depart from the Jin family,” Dongfang Xue asked with concern.

“So fast, aiya, this...”

Lin Yuanyuan could not help but be slightly anxious, while casting a glance at Dongfang Rou’er.
