Chapter 1757: Fujiwara (4)
Qi Lei glanced at her but did not reply.
Dongfang liuyun frowned and did not ask further.
“Father probably knows about the news too. He called me at noon just now. I’ve already briefed Father on the matter, he might not be able to make it back in a few days. Yang Sheng found out that the Lin family had contact with the perpetrator before. It seems like the Lin family has a deep prejudice against Mother?”
As Qi Lei walked, his deep voice was heard. The couple walked into the private elevator together.
Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun could not help but sigh. She raised her hand to tidy up her messy hair and said, “It’s not just a deep grudge. They’re like fire and water with the Lin family.”
“Oh?”
Qi Lei looked at Dongfang Liuyun in surprise, waiting for her to continue.
“My mother and Lin Yuanyuan have known each other for a long time. Before my mother married my father, she was already a very good lawyer. She had never lost before, so she was very appreciated by my grandfather and became the youngest consultant in Dongfang Group. At that time, my father and Dongfang Ren and Dongfang Yi were fighting for their position in Dongfang Group. Lin Yuanyuan was a member of the Lin family. Her family background was not bad, and she was Dongfang Ren’s mistress.”
“However, the younger generation of the Lin family did not live up to expectations. Lin Yuanyuan had two brothers before. One of them was called Lin Yonghua, and the other seemed to be called Lin Yongcheng. Lin Yongcheng used his identity and was suspected of raping a girl. That girl later committed suicide. The girl’s family sued Lin Yongcheng to the court, and the one who accepted the case was Madam Song. She became the defense lawyer for the girl’s family. At that time, she and Father were about to get married.”
“Lin Yuanyuan came over and begged Madam Song to let Lin Yongcheng go, but Madam Song didn’t. Later on, Lin Yongcheng was sentenced to many years in prison. I heard that he couldn’t endure it in prison and committed suicide. He couldn’t be saved. Therefore, the Lin family has always held a grudge against Mother. This is very normal. Also, when I was three or four or five years old, Lin Yuanyuan accidentally fell and had a miscarriage, she said that it was my fault, Madam Song...”
Dongfang Liuyun did not continue speaking. Instead, she took a deep breath and said helplessly, “If you really want to hear about the bitter history of the Dongfang family, I’ll probably have to tell you for a few days and nights. When Father gets back, let him tell you.”
Dongfang Liuyun was naturally very repulsed by talking about the past.
“Your Dongfang family isn’t any simpler than our Qi family. Without Father around in this period of time, I heard that you haven’t been having it easy either,” Qi Lei said in a low voice.
“What do you think? Lin Yuanyuan naturally thought of all sorts of ways to torment me, but I’m not stupid. I’ll just deal with it. It would have been fine if Dongfang Rou’er hadn’t gotten engaged to Jin Sheng. Now that the two of them are engaged, and I heard that the wedding will be held at the end of the year, the Jin family still has some connections in Myanmar. Dongfang Ren values this point. That’s why Father was so anxious to settle the matter. We can’t let them get to it first.”
Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was indifferent. As she spoke, she could not help but feel helpless, “If this matter really had something to do with the Lin family, I won’t let it go so easily. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to resolve this threat from the Lin family, it’s not a bad thing.”
“What do you think?”
Qi Lei looked at her in surprise. This stance was exactly what he had in mind.
“What do I think? Do I need to have any thoughts? Since you’ve been so eagerly paying attention, you must have some understanding of the situation, right?”
As Dongfang Liuyun said this, her clear eyes flickered. Her gaze was naturally a little crafty.
Qi Lei suddenly smiled. His arm suddenly fell and he held her slender hand. “You’re pretty sure of me.”
“This is called intelligence.”
She smiled and glanced at him.
...
Japan, on the outskirts of XX City.
It was already dusk. The twilight scattered all over the ground. The soft light filled the entire world. There were even gorgeous burning clouds in the sky. As the wind blew gently, one could faintly hear sounds of rustles. It reflected the fiery maple forest in front of them, it was as if one was in a dream.
Hidden in the fiery red maple forest was a luxurious mansion with a strong modern aura. The mansion occupied a large area, and the environment was very elegant. Almost the entire mansion was surrounded by the fiery red maple forest.
‘Ding—’
A sharp piercing sound was heard, along with the sound of metal colliding—
The sound came from the depths of the mansion, in a large private study room.
It was a very private and secluded space. There was only one side of the study that was filled with large bookshelves filled with books, and it had a very ancient atmosphere. The bookshelves were stacked up very tall, with a total of five levels. If one wanted to obtain the books in the bookshelves at the highest level, one needed to rely on the ladder behind the curtains at the side.
The other three sides were all empty walls, and they were all of the same dark color. In front of the bookshelves was a large ancient wooden desk, and a few withered branches were stuck in a large vase at the side. There were even paintings of the same artistic conception hanging on the walls, the entire study room gave off a sharply cold austere feeling, and there was also an indescribable sense of oppression.
At this moment, the curtains at the side of the study room were still drawn. The setting sun shone in through the window, and the floor seemed to be covered with a layer of soft golden light, reducing the austere and dark atmosphere in the study room by a few degrees.
‘Ding—’
Another crisp sound rang out. Looking in the direction of the sound, he finally saw the man sitting at the side of the coffee table...
He was dressed in a grayish-black casual outfit. His facial features were very profound and his eyebrows were like swords. His deep eyes were like the ocean in the silent night. He had a high nose bridge, indifferent thin lips, and long hair. There was no expression on his handsome face, except for a hint of coldness.
His entire body revealed a coldness and alienation that kept others at a distance of a thousand miles.
His skin was a little fair, and his outline was very charming. Such a beauty was infuriating to both humans and gods!
Fujiwara, the person holding power in the Fujiwara family. They were a famous family clan in Japan. His status was noble, and his position was prominent.
Just his charm alone was enough to make many women fall in love with him.
However, he himself was quite low-key, and his whereabouts were somewhat unpredictable. He rarely appeared before the media in all these years, so very few people knew specific information on him.
Of course, these were not things that Fujiwara cared about.
At this moment, he was sitting quietly with a white handkerchief in his hand. He was carefully and attentively wiping the sharp katana in his hand.
This was a very special katana. The blade was sharp and the scabbard was very simple. It was pitch-black all over, and there was only a blooming rose carved in the middle...
