Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Dongfang Shuman watched as Dongfang Liuyun’s slender figure disappeared out the door. She was not angry, nor did she stop her. Instead, she watched indifferently until the sound of footsteps faded away and could no longer be heard. Only then did she let out a soft sigh, she silently closed her old and tired eyes.

“Come out.”

Dongfang Shuman said faintly.

This time, a figure slowly walked out from behind the bookshelf.

A short-haired woman wearing a black professional dress with a straight and capable body. The woman looked to be in her thirties or forties. From the looks of it, she looked like a personal bodyguard.

That was right, this person was Dongfang Shuman’s right-hand person and bodyguard, Ah Cai. Her skills were quite outstanding, and her entire body was filled with an imposing aura. She had been by Dongfang Shuman’s side for more than twenty years, and this year, she was only forty years old.

“You saw it. After all, she’s just like her father, reckless and unruly. I remember that Ah Gan spoke to me like this back then and insisted on marrying Song Siting. Like father, like daughter.”

When Dongfang Shuman said this, her eyes were closed and did not open. Her tone was much older and weaker than before.

“President Shu, you don’t have to think too much. Perhaps, President Gan’s side will…”

Ah Cai’s eyes darkened as she said in a low voice.

“I know my own son the best. His heart isn’t ruthless enough, so he can’t stand firm. Ah Xue’s heart is ruthless enough, but… I don’t have much time left. I don’t know if I can survive this year. But the current situation of the Dongfang Group is still the same. Even if I die, I may not be able to go at ease. I owe the old man my entire life. I want to return this favor to him.”

There was a hint of bitterness in Dongfang Shuman’s old voice, but now, it seemed like there was nothing she could do.

“President Shu…”

“Alright, let’s not think too much. Go and check on Qi Lei’s information again. Send it to me as soon as possible. Fujiwara should be in City Z by now, right?”

Dongfang Shuman waved her hand before opening her eyes and asking.

“Yes, Master Fujiwara is staying at Cloud Residence. Last night he had someone send a gift over, I even replied to him, it should be all good now. Oh, that’s right, President Shu, I just received news. On the Lin Corporation’s side, Lin Yuanyuan’s younger brother, Lin Yonghua, lost a few hundred million in one night at Emperor casino the day before yesterday. The people from the casino went directly to the Lin Corporation to collect the debt. Lin Yonghua is still being controlled in the casino.”

“There’s such a thing?”

Dongfang Shuman frowned. Her black eyes flickered a few times. She had a feeling that…

“Go and ask around. What exactly is going on?”

“I’ve already sent people to ask around. The news must have already reached the Madam by now,” replied Ah Cai.

“Gambling debts of several hundred million, this isn’t something that can be easily gambled. Lin Yonghua doesn’t seem to be someone who doesn’t know his limits. This matter is a little strange.” Dongfang Shuman analyzed.

“Mm, I’ll go and check it out, we should know soon. Oh right, President Shu, do we really have to disqualify the Fourth Lady as the successor?”

Ah Cai asked uneasily, “If that’s the case, it will…”

“If she’s so stubborn, that’s the only way. However, as long as Ah Gan can stabilize the company, it won’t affect her too much.”

“But President Shu, now that the marriage between the Fifth Lady and the eldest Master of the Jin family has been decided, I’m worried…”

“I’ll leave this matter to you. I don’t care what method you use. I want you to be able to delay their wedding date or break the marriage alliance. It’s best if you can make the two families go against each other.”

Dongfang Shuman said coldly.

“Yes, President Shu! I understand.”

“Alright, you can go down first. Don’t tell anyone about what happened today.”

As Dongfang Shuman spoke, she pulled open a drawer at the side and took out a jade bracelet. After taking a look, she threw it at the corner of the wall. A crisp sound could be heard, immediately after, the cup on the side was swept to the ground by her hand and instantly shattered into pieces.

She supported herself with the table and slowly stood up.

“Alright, let them come up to clean while you’re at it.”

After leaving this sentence, she also took heavy steps and walked to the inner room at the side.

“Alright, President Shu!”

Ah Cai acknowledged and also retreated.

…

Dongfang Liuyun went downstairs at a leisurely pace. When she passed through the living room, there was no longer any sign of Dongfang Rou’er and the others. According to the situation just now, it seemed that something had happened on the Lin family’s side, causing Lin Yuanyuan to panic.

However, this was not something that Dongfang Liuyun was concerned about. She passed through the living room calmly and did not plan to stop. She just walked out of the door.

“Fourth Lady, you… aren’t you going to finish your dinner at home before going back? I just instructed the kitchen to cook the dishes that you like.”

The butler asked enthusiastically.

“There’s no need.”

Dongfang Liuyun simply replied. Her footsteps did not stop as she walked out of the door.

A moment later, the sound of the car starting rang out. In the blink of an eye, the car drove away.

…

The car sped forward at high speed, but it was making its way towards the hospital.

She wanted to see what was going on with Song Siting. When Secretary Ding called her this morning, she knew that Song Siting did not immediately see Fujiwara, which she naturally thought was a little strange.

She did not clash with after work hours, so her journey was quite smooth.

About an hour later, Dongfang Liuyun arrived at the hospital.

She parked her car in the temporary parking space next to the west gate of the hospital and went upstairs.

It was already close to evening. The autumn sun was hazy, and the evening wind was very soft.

Passing through the long corridor, she saw the two bodyguards in black guarding outside Song Siting’s door from afar.

Dongfang Liuyun subconsciously slowed down her movements and walked over. The two bodyguards in black also bowed respectfully to her.

“Missus, you’re here! Master Qi is inside.”

One of the bodyguards in black reminded her.

Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun raised her eyebrows and asked in puzzlement, “Why is he here?”

“Master Qi just went to the company to get some documents. He went to see President Qi in the hospital then came over.”

“Has he been here for long?”

“It’s been a while.”

Dongfang Liuyun nodded. Then, she raised her gaze and looked through the window—

In the ward, Qi Lei was sitting by Song Siting’s bed. He was peeling an apple in his hand. Song Siting was leaning against the headboard. She looked at Qi Lei silently as if she was saying something.

Qi Lei’s expression was very calm. The way he looked right now, he could be considered a quiet and handsome man.

Dongfang Liuyun stood at the door and watched him for a while before shaking her head and walking in…
