Chapter 2012: Anxious (2)
Dongfang Liuyun’s reaction naturally shocked Wang Chun!
In his impression, Dongfang Liuyun had always been such an indifferent person. This kind of attitude was something he had never seen before.
“Missus…”
Wang Chun looked at Dongfang Liuyun and muttered softly, “I…”
Dongfang Liuyun took a deep breath and only calmed down after a long while. She quickly calmed herself down and said, “I will have a way to find out what I want to know. If you don’t want to tell me, I won’t force you. At most, I can just investigate myself.”
“No, Missus, that’s not what I meant.”
Wang Chun looked at Dongfang Liuyun’s upset expression and quickly explained, “It’s just that I don’t know where to start.”
“How about this? I think it’s about time. I’ll tell Grandmother that we’re going back now. I’m really worried. You can arrange for someone to send Grandmother and my mother back later.”
Dongfang Liuyun raised her hand and rubbed the space between her brows. She felt a little dizzy and a huge rock was pressing down on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
“Then, I’ll go make the arrangements now.”
Wang Chun could only respond in this way.
Dongfang Liuyun nodded and propped up her exhausted body as she slowly stood up. “Go, I’ll go find Grandmother.”
“Okay, Missus!”
Before Wang Chun’s voice could fade away, Dongfang Liuyun had already walked into the crowd.
…
“Liuyun!”
Just as Dongfang Liuyun walked into the crowd, a familiar voice was heard. Without even looking, Dongfang Liuyun could already guess the owner of the voice.
She subconsciously turned his head and saw Lan Xiu standing behind her, holding a glass of wine in his hand.
“Lan Xiu.”
Dongfang Liuyun squeezed out a smile. “You’re here too.”
“I came to take a look. I’ve been looking for you for a while. What’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?” Lan Xiu asked with concern.
Dongfang Liuyun took a deep breath and shook her head. “It’s nothing. I’m probably a little tired from the past few days.”
“Where’s Qi Lei? Why isn’t he here? How could you be this tired?”
Lan Xiu’s eyes were filled with concern.
“He’s not back yet. He’s a little busy. Don’t drink too much. Go back and rest early, you look tired too. I still have some things to do. I’ll go over first. Let’s talk later.”
Dongfang Liuyun was burning with anxiety, so she was naturally not in the mood to chat. She had to find out about Qi Lei’s situation from Wang Chun as soon as possible, because the unease in her heart was growing stronger.
“Liuyun… did something happen?”
It was rare for her to be so anxious. Lan Xiu and Dongfang Liuyun had been good friends for many years, so he could obviously see that something was wrong with Dongfang Liuyun.
“It’s okay. I’m just a little tired. I want to go back first. I’ll contact you later.”
Dongfang Liuyun left this sentence and did not say anything else. She continued to walk forward.
“Liuyun!”
Lan Xiu subconsciously called out, but Dongfang Liuyun’s figure was quickly drowned in the crowd ahead.
Lan Xiu immediately frowned. There are not many things that could make Dongfang Liuyun this anxious, there was basically nothing else. Could it be because of Dongfang Gan?
Lan Xiu guessed to himself—
At the moment, Qi Lei did not come over either, while Dongfang Liuyun was in this state.
If it was not something on Dongfang Gan’s end, it was probably something on Qi Lei’s end then?
After some thought, he was still a little worried, so he followed after her.
…
Dongfang Liuyun went straight to the main seat in the middle. Dongfang Shuman sat on the main seat in front. Beside him was Ah Cai. Dongfang Ren, Dongfang Xue, and the others were all busy entertaining the guests.
The marriage between the Dongfang family and the Jin family was an eye-catching event. The wedding banquet was very grand, and the entire Imperial Hotel was booked. There were many guests who came to congratulate them, and there were more than a hundred tables set up for the banquet, most of the guests were people from the business world, so Dongfang Ren and the others naturally could not stay idle.
At this moment, Dongfang Shuman had just finished talking to an old friend.
“Grandmother.”
When Dongfang Liuyun went over, Dongfang Shuman was drinking a cup of tea.
“Liuyun? Come and sit!”
Dongfang Shuman’s tone was very calm, but when her old eyes looked at Dongfang Liuyun, there was a faint sense of pleasantness.
Dongfang Liuyun did not sit down, but directly said, “No, Grandmother, I have something urgent so I’ll be going back first. I’ve already asked Wang Chun to arrange everything, later someone will send you and my mother home.”
“What’s going on?”
Dongfang Shuman had always known that Dongfang Liuyun was a person who knew the big picture. At this time, she should not be in such a hurry to leave. Moreover, she still had some very important guests that she had not introduced to Dongfang Liuyun.
“What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so pale? Are you not feeling well?”
Dongfang Shuman stared at Dongfang Liuyun and soon noticed that Dongfang Liuyun’s expression was out of the ordinary.
“Have a glass of water, Miss Liuyun!”
Ah Cai quickly poured a glass of water for Dongfang Liuyun.
Dongfang Liuyun raised her hand slightly to stop her, “It’s nothing. I’m just a little tired. There’s an urgent matter at Tai Yu Corporation that needs to be taken care of immediately. Qi Lei isn’t around, so I’m worried that the client is getting anxious. Now that the wedding banquet is almost over, there should be nothing else for us to do from now on, so I’ll go back first.”
The anxiety in Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes could not be concealed. Usually, no matter how anxious she was at work, she was never this worried.
Dongfang Shuman also vaguely felt that something was wrong. Although she did not want her to leave just like that, seeing her like this, she was also a little worried.
“Alright then. You can go back first. Seeing that you don’t look well, go back and rest early. As for your mother’s side, I’ll get Ah Cai to go over and tell her later,” Dongfang Shuman said.
“Alright, thank you, Grandmother!”
Dongfang Liuyun could not care about anything else. At this moment, she was extremely anxious. She quickly turned around and left as well.
“Fourth Sister, why are you in such a hurry?”
Unexpectedly, just as she turned around and walked a few steps, she met Jin Sheng and Dongfang Rou’er who had just finished toasting the table beside her.
Dongfang Liuyun subconsciously stopped her footsteps and slowed down. She raised her gaze and looked at the two people in front of her—
A perfect match.
At this moment, Jin Sheng and Dongfang Rou’er were also staring at her.
Dongfang Liuyun’s gaze flickered for a moment. Then, she took a cup of wine from the waiter beside her and toasted to the two people in front of her, “It’s been a night. I finally have the chance to meet the bride and groom. May you live a long and happy life together, for eternity.”
Dongfang Rou’er smiled. “Fourth Sister, you’re too polite. I wish you and Fourth Brother-in-law happiness too. But, why don’t I see Brother-in-law? Didn’t he come?”
As she said this, she subconsciously looked around. Indeed, she did not see Qi Lei, “Brother-in-law really is too much. He didn’t even accompany Fourth Sister back for this occasion. Could it be that he thinks my wedding is too shabby for someone like him? Or is Brother-in-law too busy, so busy that he doesn’t even have the time to accompany Fourth Sister back?”
