As soon as Song Siting said this, Dongfang Shuman glanced over.

“What do I mean?”

Dongfang Shuman muttered, “You, Song Siting, are a smart person too. There are some things that you shouldn’t overdo. I’ve seen Qi Lei before, and Liuyun has resolutely chosen him. I shouldn’t have gotten involved in the matters of young people, but Liuyun is a member of the Dongfang family after all. Her marriage will naturally attract attention.”

“You and I are not on the same page, it’s an issue with history, but you still need to consider the matter in principle. Liuyun is your daughter, and with your relationship with her in this state, don’t you think you should self reflect?”

Dongfang Shuman was still as direct as ever. Without a doubt, her words pierced Song Siting’s heart and hit the nail on the head.

Song Siting’s face instantly turned pale. The hand that was holding the cup instantly tightened. She suddenly did not know how to answer.

“You’re not a young person anymore. It’s useless even if I object to the matter between you and Ah Gan. You’re still a wife and a mother. When will you be able to truly play your role? From now on, the person in charge of the Dongfang Group will be Liuyun. If you keep doing this, do you think she’ll be able to rise to the top smoothly? It’s not like you don’t understand the internal situation of the Dongfang Group. When have you ever truly thought about the father and daughter pair?”

Dongfang Shuman was not someone who liked to reason with others. She had always been extremely domineering. If her employees were so stubborn, she would have long told them to pack up their things and leave. However, sitting in front of her was her daughter-in-law, what could she, Dongfang Shuman, do about the woman her son loved?

“I’m old and I’m pestered with illness. I’m afraid that I don’t have much time left to live. I don’t object to you protecting your justice. You’re a big shot. I’m afraid that ordinary people like us are nothing to you. However, this is a family. I can’t change it myself. You’re always asking Ah Gan and Liuyun to make sacrifices, someone like you who shines alone is really not suitable to marry into our Dongfang family.”

Dongfang Shuman coughed a few times. There was a hint of disappointment in her old eyes, “Forget it. It’s useless to talk about these things. Qi Lei has done a thousand times better than you in this aspect. Now that it’s in a precarious situation, I’ll accept this matter. I’ll arrange a wedding for them after the New Year. You should put away your thoughts too. That’s all.”

“Mother... But...”

Song Siting struggled internally for a while. She seemed to have understood something, but...

“No buts. This matter is settled. Pay attention to your boundaries. You’d better take what I said to heart and reflect on it. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”

“Mother!”

Song Siting’s expression changed. She wanted to say something, but Ah Cai’s voice suddenly came from the door

“Fourth Lady, Master, you’re back! Come in quickly, it’s cold outside!”

As soon as Ah Cai said this, Dongfang Shuman and Song Siting stopped their thoughts and looked towards the door.

They saw Dongfang Liuyun and Qi Lei walking in in pain, followed by a black-shirted bodyguard carrying a bunch of things.

“Grandmother, Mother!”

Dongfang Liuyun greeted first, and Qi Lei also bowed modestly.

Dongfang Shuman nodded and put away the newspaper in her hands. “I’ve been waiting for you for a while. Come and sit. Ah Cai, get the servants to prepare a few hot towels.”

“They’re ready.”

As Ah Cai spoke, the servants had already sent the hot towels over. The two of them took them and wiped their hands. The coldness on their bodies finally eased a little.

“Today’s weather is even colder than yesterday’s. The end of the year is coming soon, so it’s getting colder every day. Right now, it’s snowing heavily in the north.”

Ah Cai was rather friendly to Qi Lei and Liuyun. She naturally knew that Dongfang Shuman had already tacitly acknowledged their relationship to a certain extent.

However, speaking of which, even if she did not acknowledge it, what could she do?

Master Gan did not listen to her back then either, did he?

So now, Dongfang Shuman was very open-minded. Now that she saw how protective and considerate Qi Lei was to Dongfang Liuyun, she was a little moved.

“It’s a little colder than usual this year. When I came here, I didn’t see anyone go out for a run. Usually, there are many people on the track who get up to do morning exercises. How’s Grandmother’s health these few days?”

As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she sat down.

“She’s fine. I asked your mother to come back. This is the first time the both of you are coming back together. Later, your First Uncle and Second Uncle will be back too. We have to meet up as a family. Qi Lei, if you have time, you have to come home often. You have a project to work on with the company. Liuyun has just taken over these matters. Since you’re her husband, you have to watch over her.”

Dongfang Shuman’s attitude towards Qi Lei was rather amiable and calm. This surprised Dongfang Liuyun. Before she came, she had been wondering if Dongfang Shuman would make things difficult for Qi lei. She did not think that now, it seemed like the two of them were quite calm.

Now that she thought about it, it was probably that the two of them have met earlier that eased the pressure now.

However, when she looked at her mother, Song Siting, who had been sitting silently by the side, Dongfang Liuyun could clearly see that her expression was not quite right. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes as well. Presumably, it must have been because she had been unhappy with her grandmother, Dongfang Shuman.

Qi Lei nodded modestly. “Don’t worry, Grandmother. I will.”

“I can handle the company’s matters. Grandmother, you don’t need to put so much pressure on him.”

Dongfang Liuyun knew too well about the undercurrents within Dongfang Group, so she had been unwilling to push Qi Lei to the center of the undercurrents. At this moment, she said this in a protective manner.

“For some things, even if you want to stay out of it, others can’t control you. I hope that you’ll be on your guard and support each other. Don’t be like some people who not only can’t help but cause trouble instead.”

Dongfang Shuman’s words naturally had a hint of reprimand. Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun could naturally hear it, and Song Siting’s expression did not look too happy.

“We know. Grandmother, don’t worry. Mother, are you better? You have a checkup in another two days, I’ve already made an appointment with the hospital. I’ll go over tomorrow morning, I’ll go pick you up with Liuyun.”

Qi Lei exchanged a look with Dongfang Liuyun before saying calmly.

Song Siting took a deep breath before her expression eased up a little. “Okay.”

After replying, she quietly lowered her head and drank her tea. She looked a little absent-minded.

“Did your father call home?” Dongfang Shuman asked.

“No. I just gave him a call yesterday morning. If things go smoothly, he’ll be back by the end of the year.”
