Chapter 1748: Injury (2)
When they arrived at the hospital’s resuscitation room, the surgery was still ongoing. The bodyguards who were escorting them were anxiously waiting outside. When they saw Dongfang Liuyun and Qi Lei rushing over, they heaved a sigh of relief.
“Miss, Sir!”
One of the bodyguards in black walked up to them.
“What happened?”
Dongfang Liuyun retracted her gaze from the tightly shut door of the operating theater in front of her. She looked at the bodyguard in black and asked coldly, “With your abilities, there shouldn’t be such a big loophole.”
“Miss, I’m sorry! It was very crowded. Me and two bodyguards were trying our best to isolate the crowd. Unexpectedly, a person suddenly rushed out from the crowd. He said that Lawyer Song won the case for the other party and destroyed his family. The party who lost the case that was just announced also rushed up to vent their anger on Lawyer Song. The situation was not under control for a moment, so…”
The bodyguard lowered his voice and explained.
When Dongfang Liuyun heard this, she could not help but feel heavy in her heart. She lifted her hand to support her head. Suddenly, she felt a little exhausted and her eyes darkened.
Qi Lei, on the other hand, was quick-witted and immediately put his arm around her shoulders. He frowned and asked with concern, “Are you alright?”
Dongfang Liuyun raised her hand slightly to stop him. “I’m fine.”
“Let’s take a seat first.”
Qi Lei helped her sit on the chair behind him. Then, he looked up at Yang Sheng and the others who followed behind him.
“Yang Sheng, go with him and get the information on the perpetrator as soon as possible. Also, check if there are any surveillance cameras around. If possible, pull them up to see if there are any abnormalities. As for the rest, I’ll leave it up to you.”
Qi Lei gave a simple order, his deep voice carrying a hint of silence. “Understand the ins and outs of the matter. Also, keep a low profile.”
“Yes, don’t worry, Master Qi. I will complete the mission.”
Yang Sheng said this and then glanced at the black-clothed bodyguard beside him. The black-clothed bodyguard understood and bowed before leaving with Yang Sheng.
“Don’t worry, Mother is somewhat skilled, so it shouldn’t be too bad.”
Qi Lei silently looked at Dongfang Liuyun who was silent.
Dongfang Liuyun listened and took a deep breath. Her eyes were a little dim as she slowly leaned against the back of the chair. She closed her starry eyes and was quiet for a while. After a long while, her indifferent lips moved slightly, and her calm voice traveled over—
“My mother’s living conditions were not great since she was young. I heard that my grandfather passed away very early. I’m not too sure what the reason was. She was never willing to talk about the things that happened when she was young. In my impression, she has always been so strong and incomparably strong. Wherever she went, she was like a hedgehog filled with fighting strength. It was very difficult for others to hurt her.”
Sighing softly, Dongfang Liuyun did not open her eyes. After calming down for a moment, she continued, “But Father always said that Mother is actually a very fragile person. She wants nothing more than to help Father and I overcome all problems and clear away all obstacles. Therefore, she is very harsh on us and even harsher on herself. I don’t know what she is afraid of. Even if she’s strong enough to shelter us father and daughter, she can’t always be holding up like this, right?”
“She had offended many people over the years. She always thinks that she’s all that, but she doesn’t know how many times it was Father and I who had secretly helped her solve many problems. Especially those rivals who had lost, many people had become her enemies. She’s known for being strong, unforgiving, and merciless. So, I don’t think it’s strange for this to happen. I’ve heard a saying a long time ago that those who come out to mingle will have to pay back sooner or later, and she…”
“Alright, that’s enough, Liuyun.”
Hearing this, Qi Lei suddenly spoke up to stop her. He stretched out his large hand and quickly grabbed the slightly cold hand on her knee, “It’s impossible for everyone to do all kinds of good things. War in the workplace is not as simple as we think. I seem to understand why Mother demands so much of you. There are some things that can be justified from the other party’s point of view.”
“Justified? You probably don’t know that she’s the one father whom father is always worried about. Why can’t she just stay by Father’s side and be a free chief legal advisor? Why does she have to…”
Dongfang Liuyun rubbed the space between her brows and did not continue. However, Qi Lei understood what she meant.
“Qi Lei?”
After a moment of silence, Dongfang Liuyun suddenly called out to him.
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
Qi Lei turned his gaze and looked at her quietly.
“After this period of time, let’s… work hard to have a child. Perhaps that would be better for us.”
Dongfang Liuyun looked up at Qi lei as she said this.
When Qi Lei heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he could not help but feel happy—
Previously, he had heard Mu Yuchen say that if a woman was really willing to give birth to children for him, that meant that she really wanted to spend her life with him.
“Okay.”
After that, Qi Lei replied with one word.
Of course, he knew very well that Dongfang Liuyun wanted to do this because she wanted Song Siting to step down, right?
Qi Lei was all alone. Dongfang Gan had previously hinted to him that the couple only had one daughter, Dongfang Liuyun, so on many things, they would always do them with Dongfang Liuyun in mind, so…
As she listened, she nodded silently, “Actually, before I met you, I never thought about these things. There are so many things that as we go on, everything would seem to become a matter-of-fact. Of course I’m hoping that we can all go on like this. What about you?”
Her faint starry eyes looked at him.
He nodded happily, “Yes.”
Then, she stretched out her hand and patted the back of his hand. “Don’t worry. I’ll be a qualified wife. I’ll work hard to give you happiness.”
“Shouldn’t I be the one to say this to you?”
Qi Lei could not help but laugh.
She laughed quietly and wrapped her slender arm around his waist, “Because I’ve always been worried that being with me would make you suffer. Although I was born into a family like this, it’s actually become a problem for me. Being with me may require you to give up too much, but I can’t bear it. You’re a pretty good husband. I often think about how I should cherish you…”
Her tone was light and teasing, but Qi Lei could catch a hint of sincerity and lament from it…
