Chapter 1747: Injury (1)
Hearing this, Qi Lei did not continue. He turned to look at her and saw that she was propping up her slender fingers against her forehead. She was closing her eyes silently.
“She has very different philosophies from us. There’s no way to communicate with her. You’ll get used to it. All these years, only my father has been able to tolerate her. You don’t have to worry too much about her when you’re with me.”
As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she brushed her long hair with her fingers and turned to look at him. “Don’t worry, I’m not that kind of blindly filial person. If I think it’s right, I’ll support it.”
“Your mother is also my mother. I have to thank her for bringing you into this world. Liuyun, many times, don’t let unnecessary conflicts exist. You can still cherish everything that you can now, unlike me, even if I wanted to cherish it, I don’t have that chance anymore.”
Qi Lei thought for a moment before saying this.
Dongfang Liuyun just chuckled, “I know what you mean, but you only know one part of it. Madam Song has never dared to admit to people outside that I’m her daughter, nor would she give me the halo of the Dongfang family’s Fourth Lady. I know that she wants to train me. But when you have to face too many difficulties alone, you’ll feel…”
“My mother had always wanted to protect me, but I know that I can’t always hide under their protection. The halo of the Qi family’s Second Master isn’t necessarily good for me. You know my situation very well,” said Qi Lei.
“Ms. Song suffered a lot in the early years. She felt that I should have her spirit, so she hoped that I could experience what she did. This is not something I can endure. Everyone has their own path to walk, and they have their own ways of mature thinking. My father always said that she’s actually very fragile. In my eyes, she’s a superwoman who could never fall.”
There was no meaning in that tone of voice.
Qi Lei looked at her and did not say anything else. He just quietly sped up.
The car sped forward like lightning. It was very quiet in the car. The couple did not say anything more. When they turned a traffic light, a series of phone ringtones broke the silence.
Dongfang Liuyun turned her gaze and saw that it was her mobile phone, so she picked it up slowly.
“It’s me.”
“Hello? Miss Liuyun, Hurry and come to Hospital T. Lawyer Song won the case, the other party’s family was too emotional, so they went up to threaten Lawyer Song and pushed her down the stairs. Lawyer Song… is seriously injured. She suffered a fracture and was stabbed in the right chest…”
As soon as the call was connected, the panicked voice came from the other side.
Dongfang Liuyun heard it clearly, too!
Something had happened to Song Siting!
Dongfang Liuyun’s indifferent face instantly tensed up, and her starry eyes narrowed—
“What happened? How is she?”
“We don’t know yet. She’s still in the operating room. We can’t get through to President Gan. We…”
“You’ve failed in your duty! You can’t even protect a single person! Seal the news immediately. This matter can’t be released. Also, don’t tell my father about this first. I’ll rush over now.”
Dongfang Liuyun took a deep breath and suppressed the uneasiness in her heart as she instructed.
“Yes, Miss! I’ll do it right away.”
…
After hanging up the phone, Dongfang Liuyun turned to look at Qi Lei who was beside her—
“Turn around and go to Hospital T immediately. My mother had an accident and is being treated in the emergency room.”
It was not hard to tell that there was worry in her heavy tone. Her brows were furrowed.
Qi Lei was stunned. “What did you say? Something happened to mother? What happened?”
“I don’t know the exact situation either. It was the bodyguard who called just now. It seems like she’s offended someone again. This has happened too many times over the years!”
Dongfang Liuyun’s tone clearly carried a trace of worry, and her eyes were also filled with worry
Song Siting was a winning general in the industry. As long as she was involved in a case, she would almost always be victorious. Therefore, she had offended many people in the past few years. Even at home she had already offended several people in her family!
Lin Yuanyuan hated Song Siting to the bone because of similar matters.
Song Siting had been subjected to a lot of retaliation before. In order to ensure her safety, Dongfang Gan had to arrange some bodyguards for her to ensure her safety.
When Song Siting chose to accept the case, she had considered it thoroughly. Even though she was very cautious, something had still happened!
Dongfang Liuyun had long advised her to think twice, and to let go of the things that she could. She really did not want to see her provoking others like this.
In fact, at Song Siting’s level, she would either not take the case or it would be a very big case, so…
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”
Qi Lei looked at her furrowed brows and comforted her in a lowered voice. “Let’s go and take a look now.”
As he spoke, he slowed down and changed lanes.
“I feel a little uneasy. I kept feeling like something might happen soon. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this way.”
Dongfang Liuyun’s bad premonition grew stronger at the thought of this. She felt like she could not breathe. When Qi Lei reached out to gently hold her hand, he realized that her palm was already slightly moist.
“Don’t be nervous. Trust me that I’ll be fine. I’ll rush over now, okay?”
His sensitive voice was filled with gentle comfort. Seeing how calm he was, Dongfang Liuyun felt a little better. She could only nod silently, “Mmm, let’s hurry over. Just now, they said that she was stabbed in the right chest. I think it’s quite serious this time. Last time, she was almost splashed with acid. She’s always so stubborn that she thinks she’s omnipotent, but every time, she only makes her family worry.”
“She doesn’t want this either, I’m sure.”
Qi Lei had already turned the car around and sped up.
Dongfang Liuyun, on the other hand, held his outstretched hand tightly. She took a deep breath and said, “Actually, I don’t really like the word ‘out of control’. She rarely considers me and father’s feelings. In my eyes, she’s a very selfish woman, but she just said that she’s doing this for our own good. She always thinks that she’s right. She always thinks that we can follow the path that she wants. Every time, because of this matter, I…”
At this point, Dongfang Liuyun suddenly stopped talking and did not continue. Instead, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. After a long while, she opened them again and turned to look out of the car window.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became a little gloomy…
