Dongfang Shuman spoke faintly, her old face was also completely silent. She did not seem to show any emotion, but Ah Cai could feel the aura that had suddenly cooled down.

“President Shu, President Gan will understand. He is now in that position.” Ah Cai advised.

“It doesn’t matter whether he understands or not. I don’t have much time to live. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to see the day when my wish is fulfilled. You have also seen the internal situation of the company. I have nothing to regret in my life. I have no guilt. But as a mother, I still failed a little.”

As Dongfang Shuman said this, she took a deep breath and turned around silently. She looked out of the window—

It was still bleak outside the window.

“I think it’s probably because I’m too stubborn and can’t let go. They’re young, and they have their own world. The thoughts of the older generation can’t compare to their younger generation. From our point of view, most of the time, we view their feelings from the interests of the family. Whether it’s Ah Gan and Song Siting, or Qi Lei and Liuyun right now.”

Dongfang Shuman’s tired voice sounded.

“President Shu, you mean...”

“I don’t mean anything, let’s just wait and see. I don’t think I can control too much about it, I’m not as strong as one would wish to be. I just want to take advantage of the little time I have left to settle some matters,” said Dongfang Shuman.

“President Shu, right now, what you’re most worried about is President Gan and Miss Xue, right?”

Ah Cai had been by Dongfang Shuman’s side for many years. She could more or less understand Dongfang Shuman’s thoughts.

“All these years, I’ve been putting my heart into the family business. I cared very little about the siblings. It’s not like I can’t see the resentment in their hearts toward me. Ah Xue is already a few decades old, but she still hasn’t settled down. Then there’s Ah Gan in his situation.”

“President Shu, they are still quite close with each other. You don’t have to worry that the same thing with Vice President Ren and Vice President Yi would happen to them,” said Ah Cai.

“That’s not the reason. You also know about the Dongfang Group, their father has always appointed Liuyun. Of course, I can’t go against his wishes. Otherwise, he will still blame me when we reach the other end. We had decades of a revolutionary relationship, I will keep my word to him. He also feels that he owes me and wanted to make it up to me, I understand all of this.”

In fact, it was rare for Dongfang Shuman to take the initiative to talk about these things. In Ah Cai’s impression, it seemed that a strong woman like Dongfang Shuman would never share her thoughts with others. This time, it was also the first time she heard Dongfang Shuman take the initiative to talk about these things.

At this point, Dongfang Shuman slowly leaned back into her chair—

When she thought of Elder Dongfang, she still could not suppress the emotions in her heart. Every time she thought about it, she would also have such a vulnerable moment.

“President Shu, your deep love with the Elder President is enviable. The Elder President will always remember you.” Ah Cai lowered her voice and said.

Dongfang Shuman took a deep breath and thought for a moment. Then, she suddenly stood up and opened a drawer at the side. She took out a photo frame. In the photo frame was a photo of her and Elder Dongfang with white hair. It was also the last photo of them in their lives.

It was the last photo of them under the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. It was also the place where they met for the first time.

She carefully wiped it. The photo frame was polished until it was shiny. It could be seen that she must have taken it out often to look at it.

“The term ‘deep love’ may not be suitable for us. In the beginning, he and I just purely admired each other. The marriage between our families made us feel helpless. We agreed to be strategic partners and cooperate with each other. We didn’t have any deep feelings in the first place. Unexpectedly, as we walked, most of our lives passed just like that.”

“President Shu, the Elder President was very good to you.”

“Of course, he was very good to me. He was a very polite and magnanimous gentleman. He gave me everything that a man can give a woman, including feelings.”

Dongfang Shuman said faintly, her expression somewhat absent-minded.

“I am also glad to have met such a person. I originally thought that my entire life was also for the sake of benefits. It’s said that you can’t have it both ways, but I got both. When it came to Ah Gan, I understood this point, so I didn’t really oppose him and Song Siting. On the one hand, I hoped that Song Siting could really become Ah Gan’s assistant, but she disappointed me.”

“President Shu, it’s inevitable for a person like Lawyer Song to have some pride.”

“Other than being arrogant, his bearing isn’t good enough. I’m glad Liuyun’s personality is more like Ah Gan’s, otherwise...”

“Don’t worry, President Shu. Actually, the Fourth Lady is doing quite well. When you said you wanted to remove the position of the Fourth Lady as successor, I was also shocked. I thought you really wanted to...”

Ah Cai finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“If she does not satisfy me, I will still remove her. I am very clear about her character. The more I suppress her, the more she will not accept it. Moreover, based on her relationship with her grandfather, she will not give up. I am very assured about this.”

Dongfang Shuman had a good grasp of Dongfang Liuyun’s character.

“President Shu, you understand the Fourth Lady.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about these things. We still have to investigate the things that need to be investigated. You have to keep an eye on Lin Yuanyuan. In addition, Rou’er and Jin Sheng, arrange for them to pick a suitable time to come over. It’s almost time for the wedding. As a grandmother, I have to be concerned.”

Dongfang Shuman had already returned to normal. She put the things in her hands back and instructed.

“Yes, President Shu!”

...

The next day, Dongfang Liuyun woke up very early to rush to the company.

When she woke up, Qi Lei was still asleep. She knew that he was tired, so she did not wake him up. After all, he was the boss, so it did not matter whether he was late or not.

Around nine o’clock, Qi lei woke up. After tidying up, he went downstairs to have a simple breakfast. Yang Sheng came over with a smile on his face. He walked over to Qi Lei’s side and said, “Master Qi, look at our stock market. It’s such a pleasant surprise!”

Qi Lei glanced at him. He did not even need to look to see the outcome.

The news of him and Dongfang Liuyun had just been announced yesterday afternoon. Mu Yuchen had tacitly expressed his blessings through the media, and Zhou Zimo and some companies that were on good terms with Tai Yu Corporation. With such a huge lineup, he would find it strange if there was no good outcome!

“How’s Mu Yuchen? Is he at the company now?”

Qi Lei leisurely poured a glass of water as he asked.

“Chairman Mu didn’t go to the company today. He’s still at the old residence. It seems like Elder Chairman Mu is quite ill...”
