Dongfang Shuman said these last words coldly. She looked at Song Siting with dissatisfaction and did not want to stay any longer. She slowly stood up.

Ah Cai, who was at the side, quickly went forward to support her.

“Let’s go back. It’s better to do something else than to waste time with such an unenlightened person.”

When the old lady said these last words, there was actually some helplessness in her tone. However, she did not want to say anything anymore.

They had different principles, and it was really too difficult to communicate with each other. She, song siting, wanted to be a good person who protected justice, but she, Dongfang Shuman, only wanted to properly protect Dongfang Group, and…

Perhaps she was the selfish one. She was old, so old that she only wanted to protect what she could still see.

“Yes! President Shu!”

Ah Cai also looked at Song Siting with some disappointment, and silently helped Dongfang Shuman leave.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away. Song Siting’s body stiffened. Dongfang Shuman’s words were like needles piercing into her ears. Of course, she felt a burst of pain in her head.

The old lady had always been swift and decisive. Now that they spoke about her, she was merciless.

She was still unwilling to accept her because of this difference in principles.

“Also, I’ve met Liuyun’s husband, Qi Lei. The young man is pretty good. I hope that you have a sense of propriety. Not everyone can tolerate you like my son. If you want to be a saint and strive for a new heights, I won’t stop you. But if you harm the interests of the Dongfang family, I won’t tolerate you!”

When she reached the door, Dongfang Shuman suddenly stopped and said a few more words coldly. Her voice drifted in the night wind, and her figure disappeared out the door.

Song Siting’s entire body seemed to stiffen up. She stopped in her original spot and did not move. Her eyes flickered, and her flowing light was obscure. No one knew what she was thinking about.

“Cough, cough! Cough, cough…”

Dongfang Shuman returned to the car with all her discomfort. Once she got into the car, she began to cough violently. Ah Cai was worried and quickly followed suit. She patted her shoulder to calm her down as she advised—

“President Shu, don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. Your body can’t take the anger. You’re already like this! You only know how to think for them. who can understand your hard work and your good intentions?”

A haggard look appeared on Dongfang Shuman’s old face. She raised her hand slightly to stop Ah Cai. She took a few deep breaths and said weakly, “It’s okay. These things still need to be straightened out.”

“President Shu, you’re already so exhausted. President Gan and Miss Ah Xue are also…”

As Ah Cai spoke, her eyes could not help but heat up.

“This is my fate in this life. I’m destined to worry to death. I have promised her grandfather, but I still have to do it. Ah Cai, tell me, did I do something wrong?” Dongfang Shuman asked.

Ah Cai’s eyes sparkled. She sniffed and shook her head. “President Shu, you didn’t do anything wrong. You did it for the Dongfang family, President Gan, and the Fourth Lady.”

“But they might not understand. This chair is not easy to sit on.”

Dongfang Shuman sighed. “Alright, let’s go back.”

“Yes, President Shu.”

Dongfang Liuyun knew immediately that Dongfang Shuman had gone to the Tanshan Villa area to look for Song Siting. It was a call from the butler.

Dongfang Liuyun was currently dressed in a clean nightgown. She stood in front of the French window in the study room with her phone in hand.

“Alright, I understand. Ask them to take good care of my mother. I will pick a time tomorrow to go back and take a look. Also, don’t let them know that you sent me a message.” Dongfang Liuyun replied indifferently.

“Don’t worry, Miss, I know. Do you need to tell the Madam that you will be back tomorrow?”

The butler on the other end asked for instructions.

“No need. I can’t say when I will be back. Let’s do it this way. You should rest early.”

“Miss, you too!”

Dongfang Liuyun put the phone on the high stool at the side. Her beautiful eyebrows subconsciously twisted into a ball…

Grandmother Dongfang Shuman’s relationship with her mother, Song Siting, was very tense. Dongfang Shuman had been displeased with Song Siting for decades. Today, when she went to look for Song Siting, she must have wanted to negotiate, right?

However, from the butler’s description, it seemed that the conversation this time was very unpleasant, so Dongfang Liuyun was a little worried.

No matter what, she did not want Dongfang Shuman to fall out with Song Siting. Otherwise, the impact would definitely be very bad. Moreover, it was hard to tell if someone would add fuel to the fire. One was her grandmother, and the other was her mother, she, Dongfang Liuyun, did not know how to deal with it.

The conflict between these two was the same as the conflict between her, Dongfang Liuyun, and Song Siting. Their philosophies were not quite the same. Dongfang Shuman especially loathed Song Siting’s self-righteous appearance.

But what could she do?

At this thought, Dongfang Liuyun’s brows furrowed even more tightly, but more than that, she felt helpless.

“What’s wrong? I can hear you sighing when I reached the door. Don’t you rarely sigh?”

Qi Lei’s soft voice suddenly came from behind. When Dongfang Liuyun turned back to look, Qi Lei had already come to the coffee table. He poured a glass of water and brought it to her.

Dongfang Liuyun took it and drank a few mouthfuls gloomily, “It’s nothing. The butler said that Grandmother went to look for Ms. Song just now. There’s almost no need to think about it. The two of them must have very different opinions. Father has thought of many ways to ease the relationship between them, but every time, it ends on bad terms.

“They’re both very stubborn people. They each insist on their own positions and principles, and they can’t say clearly whether who’s right or wrong. You don’t have to care too much. I believe they’ll handle it well.”

Qi Lei thought for a moment and comforted her.

“I just feel a little worn out. I think Father must feel the same too.”

Dongfang Liuyun spread her hands and said helplessly.

“Of course it’s difficult being caught between the two. You’re the same, right?”

Qi Lei gave her a sideways glance.

Dongfang Liuyun shrugged. “I’m a cold person. I don’t care about it. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Qi Lei only raised his brows when she said that. Dongfang Liuyun wanted to explain something when her phone suddenly vibrated.

She quickly turned her head and saw that the caller ID showed the name of ‘Lan Xiu’…

“Lan Xiu? It’s so late, wonder why he’s calling?”

Dongfang Liuyun muttered with some doubt before she answered the call—
