Chapter 2025: She Cried (5)
Mu Yuchen was silent for a moment. Then, he put his phone away and placed it on the table beside him. With one hand supporting the corner of the table, he turned around and silently looked outside the French window. He took a deep breath.
“How is it?”
Xi Xiaye saw his reaction and was clearly a little anxious as well, so she quickly asked.
“Dongfang Shuman went over. Qi Lei was shot and his whereabouts are unknown.”
His voice was a little hoarse. “Before he left, he told me that he thinks that his future is with Dongfang Liuyun. Only when she’s better will he be better. I never thought that Qi Lei would have such a day too.”
Xi Xiaye’s expression froze for a moment, and her heart tightened—
Dongfang Shuman is gone?
Qi Lei was shot and his whereabouts were unknown?
Was this the result they had been waiting for so many days for?
Furthermore, there was still Dongfang Gan laying in the hospital. Dongfang Group was like a lone leaf swaying in the wind and rain. Tai Yu Corporation had just stabilized as well. Why was it like this?
“How could it be…”
Xi Xiaye could not recover from her shock as she said in a daze, “How could it be like this…”
“That’s the truth. I think Qi Lei must have found something. Apart from wanting to find Dongfang Gan, he also wanted to clarify the matter, so he went over.”
Mu Yuchen’s tone was filled with certainty.
“If it’s because of Liuyun, he would definitely do that.”
Xi Xiaye was surprised that Qi Lei was so devoted to Dongfang Liuyun.
However, how could Dongfang Liuyun withstand such a situation?
“What can we do for them?”
After some thought, Xi Xiaye could only sigh and ask.
“If I knew what I could do for them, I wouldn’t be so distressed,” Mu Yuchen said helplessly, his expression a little lonely.
“Go and see Liuyun. Spend more time with her these two days. Between women, you might know how to comfort her. I’ll go look for Su Chen and Zimo.”
Mu Yuchen then turned around and walked towards the door.
“Mmm, that son…”
“Just get someone to send him to Grandfather.”
Mu Yuchen’s tall and straight figure quickly disappeared outside the door after he said that…
…
Dongfang Shuman’s funeral was handled in a relatively low-profile manner. However, during the memorial service, there were still many people who came to pay their respects.
Dongfang Shuman was a celebrity in the circle and was also a person of high social standing. There were quite a number of people who interacted with her. Even Xi Mushan had come to pay his respects.
Over the past few days, Dongfang Liuyun had lost a lot of weight. The energy that she had taken so long to recover had been completely squandered, especially when she wore that solemn black dress, it made her look even more pale and haggard.
…
It was already late at night, and more and more people came to attend Dongfang Shuman’s memorial service.
Dongfang Liuyun, however, could not bear to see such an occasion.
Under three large trees.
“Boss, give me a dozen cold beers.”
Seeing the boss serve the dishes, Dongfang Liuyun suddenly said.
“Yes, Miss Dongfang!”
The boss quickly brought a dozen beers over.
Dongfang Liuyun was the only one sitting at such a big table. She remembered that almost every time she came over, Qi Lei would sit across from her. Every time he came over, it would be at this table. At this moment, at the table across from her.
But now, the seat opposite her was empty.
She could not remember when was the last time they came over to drink like this.
A while ago, she felt that he would always be there, and there was no need to hold onto him with anything. This was because she had long taken it for granted that he would always be there no matter what.
The news from Myanmar was that he was still nowhere to be found.
This morning, Dongfang Gan woke up for a while in the hospital. The first thing he said was to save Qi Lei, but before he could ask for any news, he had already fallen into a coma again.
Today was still Dongfang Shuman’s memorial service. She seemed to have been like this for the past few days. She had been muddleheaded.
Dongfang Liuyun opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass in front of her. She filled it up, picked it up, and drank it in a few gulps.
After a few glasses, she took a deep breath. Just as she was about to continue, she heard the sound of a car stopping behind her. She turned around subconsciously and realized that the car door had already been opened.
Fujiwara walked out of the car coldly.
It was naturally very cold in such a cold night. Fujiwara wore a windbreaker on his shoulder and arrived beside Dongfang Liuyun in a few large strides.
He looked down at Dongfang Liuyun from above. Dongfang Liuyun was also holding a glass of wine in her hand. She also raised her gaze and looked at him without blinking. A moment later, she lowered her eyes and finished the wine in her glass.
Fujiwara watched with an uncontrollable pain flashing across his dark eyes. He took a deep breath, took off his windbreaker, and draped it over her shoulders.
“If you want to torture yourself, I have a knife that can kill you in one strike.”
Seeing that she was struggling to refuse, Fujiwara simply reached out and pressed down on her shoulders. The force was so strong that even Dongfang Liuyun felt a piercing pain. He gave up struggling after that.
Fujiwara glanced at her. Seeing that she was silent, he sat down across her. He took the empty glass beside him and poured himself a glass of wine.
“I heard about what happened. I know you’re upset.”
Fujiwara’s tone softened.
“Your grandmother is dead, your husband’s whereabouts are unknown along with where he’s alive. Your father is still lying in the hospital. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be having a good time, would they?” Dongfang Liuyun said coldly. Her starry eyes clearly contained some sadness, but most of it was also forbearing.
She poured herself another glass and silently picked it up. She poured more than half of the glass on the ground before finishing the wine in one gulp.
“What are you doing here?”
Her tone was naturally very distant.
“When I went over to pay my respects, I saw that you weren’t around, so I guessed that you might be here, so I came to take a look. Grandmother was a good person. She will reunite with Grandfatjer in paradise.”
Fujiwara did not know how to console her, so he could only say so.
“Ha!”
Dongfang Liuyun sneered when he heard this. “No one believes that there’s actually a paradise. After death, at most, it will turn into ashes.”
“Since you can get over it so easily, why are you still so sad?” Fujiwara asked.
“If I’m not sad? If I wasn’t sad, could it resurrect her, could Qi Lei be found?”
As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she looked at him. Her eyes were filled with bitterness—
