Dongfang Liuyun did not answer. She only looked coldly at Dongfang Shuman.
However, Dongfang Shuman’s reaction at this moment was surprisingly calm. She took a glass of water from the side and drank a few sips before her aged voice sounded again
“I know that you must be dissatisfied. In fact, you also know in your heart that choosing Fujiwara is much better than choosing Qi Lei. It’s not that Qi Lei’s ability isn’t up to par, but that he’s from a different world from us. You’re very muddle-headed. From what I remember, your choice and persistence have always been very satisfactory to me, but I didn’t expect you to make such a stupid mistake this time.”
Dongfang Shuman had always been like this. She would never show mercy in her criticism to Dongfang Liuyun.
“You’re a very smart person, I think you should know the math. The Fujiwara family is very powerful in Myanmar. If you marry him, it’s equivalent to having a strong backing. Your father wouldn’t have to endure so much. How much advantage do you think you and your father have now? If we don’t take precautions, the person in power at the next shareholders’ meeting might not be your father, Dongfang Gan.”
As Dongfang Shuman spoke, her gaze turned cold as she glanced at Dongfang Liuyun, “All these years, you have only lived your life outside. Have you considered the Dongfang family? You don’t know how much your parents have given up for your freedom. You are the most legitimate successor, but if you really don’t have the qualifications to take on the role, I can change at any time. Do you understand?”
When Dongfang Shuman said these words, she sounded earnest with an extremely cold tone.
Dongfang Liuyun did not answer. Her expression was also somewhat tense.
“It is not the first or second time that the shareholders’ meeting proposed to change your position as the successor. Almost every year, the shareholders’ meeting will face such a problem. Your father didn’t tell you this, right? Your personality is just like that of your mother. Selfish, stubborn, caring about your own feelings only. What is family? What is righteousness? I’m afraid that you don’t understand these, do you?”
As Dongfang Shuman spoke, the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile that carried a trace of mockery.
“It’s true that I have no way to manage your stubborn mother, but you, Dongfang Liuyun, have the blood of my Dongfang Shuman and the Dongfang family on you. You know very well what you are carrying on your shoulders. I don’t want to see the Dongfang Group destroyed in the hands of you people. With your current strength? What do you have to fight with them? With the shares in your hands?”
“Hmph, it’s simply wishful thinking. Dongfang Ren and Dongfang Yi have long been restless. If your father were to remove the word ‘agent’, they might be able to establish their own faction. The entire Dongfang Group would fall apart just like the Qi family that you were very familiar with. Do you really need me to teach you this rationale?”
Dongfang Shuman’s words did not leave any face.
Seeing that Dongfang Liuyun did not say anything, Dongfang Shuman retracted her gaze, “You really disappoint me. It was not easy for me to convince the Fujiwara family this time. I intend to help you and Fujiwara. Everyone knows how much Fujiwara cares for you. He is a very powerful helper. If the Fujiwara family can help your father stabilize the situation in Myanmar, you’ll be able to hold on to your position. Otherwise, the situation will only be bad for you.”
...
“You want me to sacrifice myself with these things? Grandmother, you’re really good at planning things. The Fujiwara family doesn’t seem to be very enthusiastic about my marriage with Fujiwara. Furthermore, Fujiwara and I don’t have any feelings for each other. What makes you think that the Fujiwara family will lend a hand? Do you think that the Fujiwara family really wants to have a simple marriage with the Dongfang family?”
“Let’s not talk about whether or not they have a motive for the time being, but what advantages do you think you have now? Don’t think that I don’t know why you didn’t dare to bring Qi Lei here. It’s not good for you to protect him to this extent.”
Dongfang Shuman said coldly.
“That’s my business. No matter what kind of situation I face in the future, I hope that grandmother will not target him. I believe in him. It wasn’t my intention to drag him into this whirlpool, but since things have already come to this, it’s impossible for us to be separated. He’s already sent betrothal gifts to my parents. Moreover, we plan to get married at the end of the year or early next year. I’ve made up my mind. I came here today because I want to tell you everything clearly. I hope you can fulfill my wish, Grandmother.”
Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was naturally firm, and her gaze was unusually determined.
“What if I say no?”
Dongfang Shuman said coldly.
“Then I can only let you down, Grandmother. I’m very sure that Qi Lei is the only one in my life. I’ll use everything I have to protect the last piece of sacredness in my heart.”
“Bastard!”
As Dongfang Liuyun said this, Dongfang Shuman immediately cursed. The light in her eyes suddenly became much sharper—
“What is the last piece of sacredness? In your eyes, the Dongfang family is dirty? You dare to say such things to your dead grandfather? No matter how bad this family is, it is also the place that gave birth to you and raised you. You have no right to comment on it.”
“You know very well in your heart whether I am right or not. You and grandfather could be together for a long time and live a harmonious and loving life. Why should I sacrifice my own marriage and feelings? So you have been dissatisfied with my parents’ marriage, causing our family to live such a life out of sight, but aren’t they still living a good life now?”
Dongfang Liuyun said disapprovingly.
“Hmph, living a good life? Would your father be injured if he was living in peace? Would Song Siting have ended up in the hospital?”
Dongfang Shuman’s aura did not diminish. Neither of them was convinced by the other.
“I don’t want to argue with you about this. Even without the Fujiwara family, I’ll still be able to control the entire Dongfang Group in the end. Also, my husband, Qi Lei, isn’t what you think he is. He definitely has the ability to protect me. Compared to Fujiwara, he’s much better. I married him willingly.”
Dongfang Liuyun bluntly expressed her feelings.
Dongfang Shuman’s expression was naturally a little gloomy. She took a deep breath. “I can’t agree with you. I hope that you can think about it when you go back. If you insist on doing this, I don’t mind changing the position of the heir.”
“Then you can change it. You don’t have the final say in the entire Dongfang Group. Don’t forget that I also control the shares in my hands. I’m one of the shareholders of Dongfang Group. It was the will of my grandfather. Also, I hope that you can sign it quickly, I want to take back what belongs to me. Of course, if Grandmother is not satisfied, I will ask a lawyer to come forward.”
