The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu’s Pampered Wife

“Grandmother.”

Dongfang Liuyun walked in and soon found Dongfang Shuman and Ah Cai sitting on the sofa.

​ 

“Aunt Cai.”

“Miss Liuyun is back!”

Ah Cai quickly laughed and stood up. “What do you want to drink? I’ll pour some for you.”

“Just a cup of hot water will do,” replied Dongfang Liuyun.

“Come and sit.”

Dongfang Shuman’s voice was heard. Dongfang Liuyun walked over and sat down.

“Grandmother, have you been feeling better these two days?”

Dongfang Liuyun’s gaze stopped on Dongfang Shuman’s aged face. After not seeing her for some time, she thought that she seemed to have become more haggard. She had always known that her health was not very good. Her father, Dongfang Gan, had called a few times before, he hoped that she could return to Canada to recuperate, but she was still here. She must be worried about the company.

Hearing this, Dongfang Shuman coughed lightly and said in a hoarse and weak voice, “It’s nothing serious. The weather has been warmer these few days. I feel much better than the past few days. Where’s Qi Lei? Why didn’t he come back with you?”

Dongfang Shuman glanced at Dongfang Liuyun and asked doubtfully.

“He went abroad to attend to some urgent matters, so he won’t be able to make it back in time. Wang Chun will come over on his behalf tomorrow.”

Dongfang Liuyun replied, and at this moment, Ah Cai brought a cup of hot water over.

“Ah Cai, go and settle the matters first. Help me take care of the guests. I’ll go down later.”

“Okay, President Shu,” Ah Cai replied and then quietly left the room.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Dongfang Liuyun slightly clenched the cup in her hands. The warm temperature instantly dispelled some of the coldness in her hands.

“Tomorrow will be very lively. Later, you’ll go down with me to meet those old regulars. You still need to manage some of your connections. It’s not easy to maintain the network of connections that the Dongfang family has built up over the past few hundred years. You have to be more careful in the future. Although these people usually don’t seem to have much contact with us, when they really encounter a problem, they will still take us into consideration. In this circle, you should understand that birds of a feather flock together.”

Dongfang Shuman’s tone was naturally a little serious. Dongfang Liuyun seemed to have caught a hint of expectation from her tone. After a moment of silence, she replied, “Yes.”

“Do you also blame me as a grandmother in your heart?”

Seeing that Dongfang Liuyun did not have much of a change in emotions, Dongfang Shuman asked the same question. Her old eyes also locked tightly onto Dongfang Liuyun’s pretty little face.

Dongfang Liuyun was stunned for a moment and shook his head, “No. Actually, no one should be protected by anyone since they were born. All those who give to you and treat you well are because of the existence of feelings. I have always been very clear about this principle. I can also understand your position, so there is no so-called resentment.”

“Sigh, your temperament is very similar to your grandfather’s. If everyone thinks like you, it would be a good thing.”

Dongfang Shuman sighed, and her eyes also became somewhat silent.

Dongfang Liuyun’s gaze flickered, as if she could also sense something, but she still remained silent and did not expose it.

As a younger person, it was not suitable for her to discuss such matters.

“Where is Aunt?”

After a while, Dongfang Liuyun asked.

“She just returned to her room. She hasn’t stopped by home since she’s returned in the past two days. She asked about you just now. You should find a chance to catch up with her. You haven’t seen her in years, right?”

Dongfang Shuman looked at Dongfang Liuyun.

“Yes, I haven’t seen her in a long time.”

“What do you think of your aunt?” Dongfang Shuman asked without any reason. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Dongfang Liuyun.

Dongfang Liuyun could not react to Dongfang Shuman’s question.

In her impression, Dongfang Shuman doted on her daughter and took good care of her. As a son, Dongfang Gan received little care. Perhaps it was because he was trained consciously.

“Aunt is very capable. She is capable and steady. I respect her very much.”

Dongfang Liuyun hesitated for a moment before saying this.

Dongfang Shuman listened and smiled, “Not really. I am very clear about what kind of person she is. She has been by my side since she was young. Her character has more or less been influenced by me. Over the years, she has contributed a lot to the Dongfang family. Relatively speaking, she is the hero of the Dongfang family. Everyone has witnessed her abilities.”

“If she was a son, I think that she should be in charge of the Dongfang Group, and not your father. Of course, this was what I thought at the time. However, after experiencing so many things, I have to admit that your grandfather’s initial thought was correct.”

“Then, why is grandmother still willing to support me?”

Dongfang Liuyun was naturally a little doubtful. Indeed, based on Dongfang Shuman’s attitude towards Dongfang Xue, Dongfang Liuyun did not doubt such a decision at all.

“Because of your grandfather’s last wish. Also, after so many years, I have seen some things more clearly.”

“Grandmother you’re saying…”

“I’m not saying anything. You just need to figure it out yourself. Learn more from your father and familiarize yourself with the company’s affairs as soon as possible. You don’t have much time left. Once Jin Sheng and Dongfang Rou’er are married, the situation of the company will definitely change. When that happens, you could be easily shakened.”

“I understand.”

“Alright, go and see your aunt first. She should be in her room.”

As Dongfang Shuman spoke, she could not help but cough a few more times. She leaned back in her chair tiredly. “I’ll get Ah Cai to call you later. You go ahead. I’ll rest for a while. I’m a little tired.”

Dongfang Liuyun raised her gaze and looked at her quietly. She did not miss the pale and tired look on her face. Her heart suddenly sank and she said, “Let me help you back to your room to rest for a while.”

“No, I’ll be fine after I stay here for a while, you go ahead.”

Dongfang Shuman waved her away—

She had always been like this. She never allowed herself to show any signs of weakness in front of these children. Even at this time, she still needed to hold on.

Dongfang Liuyun’s face darkened. She could only take a blanket from the sofa and help cover Dongfang Shuman. Dongfang Shuman slowly closed her eyes before Dongfang Liuyun left.

Sometimes, it was hard to see through Dongfang Shuman clearly. Dongfang Liuyun had never been very close to her since she was young. In Dongfang Liuyun’s impression, Dongfang Shuman had always been a very serious and reserved person. Every time she saw her, she would say very little. However, Dongfang Shuman was someone who was loyal to her husband and to the entire Dongfang family.
