The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife

Chapter 2023: She Cried (3)

Dongfang Shuman calmed down for a long time before she finally recovered.

She opened her eyes and looked at Dongfang Xue helplessly—

“I know I owe you too much... but this is all fate... Please forgive me and your father... Now that your brother has become like this, and Qi Lei... It’s not easy for Liuyun to hold on. Dongfang Ren and Dongfang Yi... are ambitious. Dongfang Group... must, must... not fall into their hands. I’ve never begged you before. If you still acknowledge me as your mother... I hope that you can promise me that you won’t fight with Liuyun. Just like now, you’ll do your best to assist her and let her smoothly take over the Dongfang Group...”

Dongfang Shuman struggled to say these words as her skinny hand tightly held onto Dongfang Xue’s. Looking at her, Dongfang Xue thought that she was grasping at the last straw.

“Liuyun... she is a good child... Promise me, treat her as your daughter... She will definitely be grateful to you...”

At this moment, Dongfang Xue’s eyes were filled with tears—

What else could she say?

All her life, she had lived for the word ‘filial’, but even so, if she was given another choice, she would probably still do it, right?

What should she say? In fact, what she cared about the most were her parents and her brother?

When Zhu Ziwen died, she was only sad. She did not have time to be sad because her child was gone. The Dongfang Group’s internal affairs had changed, so she could only help them. But now, she could no longer control her emotions.

Even someone as strong as her could not bear such pain.

“Can you... Promise me, Ah Xue...”

Dongfang Shuman’s voice was very weak..

Dongfang Xue’s tears fell like rain. She turned her head away and kept blinking her eyes, trying to hold back her tears. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not control the boiling tears.

“Can you promise me... can you promise... ?”

Dongfang Xue was the answer that Dongfang Shuman wanted.

“I promise you.”

After a long time, Dongfang Xue raised her hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes and silently replied.

“That’s good... that’s good...”

Dongfang Shuman let out a sigh of relief. She raised her eyes with difficulty and looked at the tightly shut door. “Liuyun... why, why... why isn’t she back yet?”

...

When Dongfang Liuyun rushed back to the Dongfang old residence, nearly two hours had already passed.

She rushed straight to Dongfang Shuman’s bedroom. However, Dongfang Shuman was already very weak. When she pushed the door open and walked in, she was wearing an oxygen mask and breathing weakly. Dongfang Xue, who was beside her, also had slightly red eyes.

Her breathing was very shallow...

“Miss Liuyun, President Shu is waiting for you. If there’s anything, hurry and let her know. We’ve done our best.”

The doctor stood at the door and said to Dongfang Liuyun in a low voice.

Dongfang Liuyun’s heart suddenly stopped and she almost could not breathe. The dull pain in her chest surged. Her entire body trembled and she almost fell. Fortunately, she moved fast enough to hold the door handle by the side.

“Grandmother!”

Dongfang Liuyun rushed in and stopped by her bed.

Hearing Dongfang Liuyun’s voice, Dongfang Shuman slowly opened her eyes. After seeing Dongfang Liuyun clearly, she stretched out her hand with difficulty to take off the oxygen mask on her nose.

Dongfang Liuyun helped and fixed the blanket for her.

“You... are back... Qi Lei, haven’t you found Qi Lei yet? How... How is your father?”

Dongfang Shuman was so weak that she could not even speak clearly. Dongfang Liuyun practically leaned over close to her so that he could hear her clearly.

“He’s fine, Grandmother. Don’t worry. They’re all fine. Take care of yourself. You’ll see them soon.”

As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she held Dongfang Shuman’s cold hands tightly.

“I won’t be fine... I can’t pass this test... It’s been so many years. I should go meet your Grandfather too... It’s just that leaving such a mess behind... It’s not good for me to report to your grandfather. I’ve wronged you too... You’re a very good child. You’ll be safe for the rest of your life... Take care of your father, mother, Qi Lei, and your aunt...”

Dongfang Shuman’s absent-minded voice sounded, but Dongfang Liuyun’s heart was inexplicably sour.

Pain came one after another. She did not know that she should bear it herself.

“I’ll leave the Dongfang Group to you... That’s the Dongfang family’s hundred-year foundation. It’s the life’s work of your grandfather and I... It’s also the testimony of generations of our Dongfang family... you must protect it well... after I leave... the lawyer will transfer my portion of shares to your name...”

When Dongfang Shuman said this, she used her last bit of strength to hold Dongfang Liuyun’s hands tightly.

Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes were slightly hot, but she also quietly closed her eyes and nodded, “Yes, I will protect it well. Grandmother, don’t worry.”

“I will remember your words. When we reach the other side... I will also tell... Tell your... Your grandfather...”

Dongfang Shuman only managed to say this in the end.

When Dongfang Liuyun wanted to reply, she was already gone. The pair of skinny hands that held her tightly suddenly lost all strength and suddenly drooped down. When Dongfang Liuyun raised her gaze to look at her face, she had already closed her eyes forever.

She did not leave in peace!

Dongfang Liuyun thought that she must have left with a lot of regrets.

Her heart felt sour, and her eyes were dry and hot. Dongfang Xue’s suppressed crying came into her ears. Ah Cai also rushed in. When she saw Dongfang Shuman, who was not breathing on the bed, she could not help but burst into tears.

“President Shu! President Shu... Why did you leave just like that? President Shu... What do you want us to do? President Shu... Ah...”

A heart-wrenching cry was heard. Along with the rustling of the wind and rain outside, Dongfang Liuyun suddenly felt her entire body turn desolate. She felt as if he was floating in a trance.

Perhaps that was the case. Life and death were placed together. It was so distinct. This suffocating feeling really made one feel heartbroken.

Dongfang Liuyun silently walked out of the bedroom. She did not seem to feel anything. She could only vaguely feel that Dongfang Rou’er and the others had rushed into the bedroom as well. Then, the cries that sounded like they were fighting for the heavens and the earth could be heard endlessly.

In the face of life and death, anyone would be at a loss, right?

Whether it was Lan Qi, Grandfather, Uncle Ming, or the current Dongfang Shuman...

She had even forgotten to feel sad. It was as if her whole body had been hollowed out, especially when she heard the news from Yang Sheng at this time—
