Dongfang Shuman was silent for a moment. After a while, she took the document from Ah Cai. She flipped it open and skimmed through it. Her old eyes froze for a moment before they quickly returned to normal.
“There’s no need to investigate this Qi Lei anymore. He asked me to meet him over the weekend, and I agreed. I’m looking forward to what kind of person could get Liuyun to challenge me. All the signs indicate that he’s not that simple,” said Dongfang Shuman.
Ah Cai nodded. “What about the company now? The situation isn’t very optimistic. I don’t know what Fourth Lady can do. Tomorrow is the shareholders’ meeting. President Gan isn’t around. I don’t know...”
“Inform them that I’ll personally host the company’s shareholders’ meeting tomorrow. Also, give Liuyun a call immediately. Don’t let me see this situation continue to worsen at the meeting tomorrow. Otherwise, she’ll have to immediately be removed from her current position and be replaced with someone else. Dongfang Shuman said coldly.
Hearing that, Ah Cai hesitated for a moment and said worriedly, “President Shu, this isn’t good, is it? The Fourth Lady, she... It’s not easy to explain to President Gan. Furthermore, she didn’t do anything wrong. Some people just deliberately spread rumors about her. They probably don’t know that Qi Lei is married to the Fourth Lady, but if President Shu wants to... If they announce their relationship, I’m afraid it would affect the future...”
“If she can’t even handle such a small matter, then she doesn’t have the qualifications to take charge of the Dongfang Group. I know very well whose idea this was. Although I interfered with their internal conflicts, I would be the first to disagree with using the interests of the Dongfang Group to change minds. Call Dongfang Ren, Dongfang Yi, and the others back. Tell them that I want them to come back and have afternoon tea with me.”
Dongfang Shuman’s aura did not decrease as she directly gave the order.
Ah Cai hurriedly nodded. “Alright, President Shu. I’ll inform them right away.”
“How’s Song Siting doing?” Dongfang Shuman recalled this matter.
“She’s still in the hospital. It seems that she can be discharged tomorrow. However, it’s still not very convenient for her to move around. She still needs to recuperate for a period of time. Oh right, Master Fujiwara went to visit her previously, but she did not meet him. Perhaps it’s because...”
Ah Cai’s tone gradually lowered, and she did not dare to make too many guesses.
Dongfang Shuman’s expression was not too good either. She coughed a few times, and her tone became a little weak, “I wanted Ah Gan to marry a good wife, a person who could really help him share the burden, and not someone who would only cause trouble. You’ve seen the situation in the company now. What can she, Song Siting, do? I feel annoyed whenever I see her!”
“President Shu, I think Lawyer Song herself is also trying hard to protect President Gan. After all, President Gan and her are in love with each other sincerely. At this point, perhaps you can only accept it calmly so that the relationship between them can be more harmonious. After all, she is also a person who works very hard. All these years, I can see that President Gan and the Fourth Lady are also quite tired.”
“Ah Cai, you still don’t understand. There are some things that you can’t compromise. Once you compromise, the other party will think that she is right. Song Siting is such a proud person. I don’t deny that she is upright, kind, and capable. However, these things are useless to us. Moreover, you have to understand that a lot of unnecessary and avoidable resentment is caused by her. Originally, these things cannot be blamed on her, but her attitude in handling things is very unacceptable to me.”
Dongfang Shuman’s tone was unusually heavy, and she became quite gloomy.
Seeing this, Ah Cai did not dare to say anything more to avoid provoking her, that would be bad. After some thought, she could only reply, “I understand, President Shu!”
“Pick a time to go over and take a look, tomorrow.”
Dongfang Shuman added after that.
“Okay, President Shu!”
...
Trouble came one after another. Dongfang Liuyun was also a little tired from being annoyed.
Especially when she received a call from Ah Cai to pass on Dongfang Shuman’s message.
“I understand. There’s no need for her to worry. Let’s leave it at that for now.”
Dongfang Liuyun silently hung up the phone. Her cold face had a hint of coldness.
“Was that a call from your grandmother?”
Dongfang Liuyun had just put away his phone when Song Siting, who was lying on the hospital bed, asked directly.
Her eyes darkened. Dongfang Liuyun raised her hand to rub the space between her brows tiredly and did not reply.
Song Siting’s eyes darkened when she saw this. She thought for a moment and suddenly reached out to pick up a newspaper from the bedside and tossed it in front of Dongfang Liuyun. Her tone was a little gloomy—
“Aren’t you going to explain this matter? I’ve seen the situation of the company’s stock market. It’s caused quite an impact because of this. What do you plan to do? What about Qi Lei? Why didn’t he come over? You’ve messed up, shouldn’t he stand up and say something?”
Song Siting’s impression of Qi Lei had changed, but after waiting for two days without seeing any action from Qi Lei, she could not stay calm.
“Do you think he should come out and say something? He’s not in City Z right now.”
“He went out to hide from the limelight? Hah!” Song Siting sneered.
“Don’t think that everyone is as bad as you. I have my own plans for this matter. If someone wants to use this to take me down, of course I won’t let it go so easily. Next time please don’t throw around the blame if you don’t know the truth.”
Dongfang Liuyun was a little disgusted by her mother’s sharp and mean face.
Song Siting’s expression immediately turned ugly.
“What do you think we can do now? Liuyun, you have to understand your current situation. Now you...”
“Alright, don’t talk to me about your current situation. If you had really considered this point, you wouldn’t be in this situation. You should take care of yourself first. The doctor said that you can be discharged tomorrow. I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning. You should rest early. I’ll go back first.”
Dongfang Liuyun did not want to get into bad terms with Song Siting. At the moment, it was better to just endure and not say anything.
As for this matter, she was not very worried. She just left it to Qi Lei.
She had an inexplicable sense of trust in him. Her intuition told her that he would handle the matter very well. However, it was a little hard to bear now, especially at the shareholders’ meeting tomorrow.
What a headache!
Thinking about this made her feel like she was suffocating.
It seemed like they had to bring forward the announcement of their marriage. However, Qi Lei was not in City Z, so she could not just call Qi Lei and ask him to come back immediately.
Dongfang Liuyun took a deep breath. Just as she walked out of the ward, the phone in her pocket vibrated.
