Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
That morning, Dongfang Liuyun naturally got up very early. She took leave for the morning and did not go to the company because he had to go to the hospital to pick up Song Siting who was getting discharged.
She got up just before dawn and made some general preparations for the afternoon meeting. She knew that she probably had a tough battle to fight today, so she made more preparations.
After a simple breakfast, Dongfang Liuyun went straight to the hospital. However, to her surprise, when she arrived at the hospital, the people that Wang Chun had arranged for her had almost finished the discharge procedures for Song Siting, they even brought Song Siting for a checkup.
Dongfang Liuyun naturally knew that this was Qi Lei’s arrangement.
In the ward, the procedures were almost done. When Dongfang Liuyun walked in, Song Siting had just finished her breakfast. Perhaps she knew that she could be discharged, so Song Siting’s complexion was much better than before. Her face was a little pale, there was a rare trace of redness.
The conversation between the mother and daughter last night ended unhappily, so the atmosphere between the mother and daughter today was a little stiff.
Dongfang Liuyun simply put a coat over Song Siting’s shoulders as she said, “It’s a little cold outside. It’s already late autumn. The temperature in City Z has dropped sharply these few days. It’s not very convenient for you to move around, so I’ve asked the butler to make some arrangements. You should stay at the Grand Lake Villa area for the next few days. Anyway, the house is quite big, it’ll be more convenient for us to look after you.”
Upon hearing this, Song Siting paused for a moment. She lifted her gaze slightly to look at her daughter, who had a slightly cold expression. It was as if she did not take yesterday’s matter to heart. She thought for a moment before saying, “Forget it. There’s nothing serious with my health. I just need to recuperate. You and Qi Lei can have some peace, so I won’t disturb the both of you. What happened yesterday was a slip of the tongue, but I’m also worried about you. I’m worried that you’ll suffer and that you won’t be able to handle it. Liuyun, don’t you know why I’m so worried?”
Song Siting could not help but say the words that were stuck in her heart.
“If worrying helps, you can worry. Since you can’t even solve your own problems, you might as well worry about yourself. Aunt Ah Cai called me in the morning and said that she’ll come to see you later. You should understand who’s intention that is.” Dongfang Liuyun said indifferently.
“Your grandmother…”
“Grandmother will personally host the shareholders’ meeting in the afternoon. If you want me to be less worried, you should behave yourself. Father isn’t around, and I’m also tired from holding this up alone.”
Dongfang Liuyun said expressionlessly, and there was a hint of fatigue between her brows—
She did not have a good rest last night, so her spirit was not much better.
Song Siting was silent for a moment before she insisted, “Send me back to the Tanshan Villa area. I’m used to it.”
Hearing that, Dongfang Liuyun was silent for a moment, but she did not refuse.
Because she knew her mother’s character very well and had always been a person of her word. Since she insisted, she could only let her be.
“I’ll arrange two nurses for you. During this period of time, you should stay at home and recuperate. Father isn’t here, so I hope you can take care of yourself and not let everyone worry about you. Let’s put the matters of your firm aside for now,” said Dongfang Liuyun.
“There’s no way to delay that case. The court is going to be held in the middle of next month, so I have to finish what I started. After this case, I’ll discuss the rest with your father, so…”
“I know you have your persistence, but it’s a good thing for us that you to ensure your own safety. At least, Father won’t have to work so hard to worry about you. You know that Grandmother’s bad impression of you is mostly because of your way of doing things. You’re not a person who will compromise. You’re such a serious person, you’re not suited to stay in the Dongfang family. I think you should have a deep understanding of this.”
Although Dongfang Liuyun did not want to talk about these things anymore, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of Dongfang Shuman’s words. Even though Song Siting had a million bad things to say, she was still the mother who gave birth to her and raised her, although the mother and daughter did not have the same opinion on many things, the relationship that was deep in their bones was not something that she could easily deny.
After Dongfang Liuyun said this, Song Siting stopped talking. Her expression became a little complicated. Later on, she finally did not continue this topic. Instead, she softened her tone
“Alright, let’s not talk about these unhappy things today. Let’s go back early. I’ve been in the hospital for so long, and I’ve wanted to leave the hospital for a long time. It’s been a long while since the two of us had dinner together. Call the house and ask them to prepare some good dishes. Let’s have lunch there, and Qi Lei…”
“He’s not back yet. Let’s talk once we’ve settled you in.”
Dongfang Liuyun replied before helping her out of the door.
Song Siting’s eyes darkened, and she followed behind.
…
The group left the hospital quietly and rushed back to the Tanshan Villa area. To Dongfang Liuyun’s surprise, when they returned home, they bumped into Dongfang Shuman’s special assistant, Ah Cai.
Ah Cai was Dongfang Shuman’s right-hand woman. She came here to represent Dongfang Shuman.
When Song Siting saw her, her face subconsciously tensed up.
Dongfang Liuyun was still expressionless.
“Lawyer Song, Fourth Lady!”
When she saw Song Siting and Dongfang Liuyun, Ah Cai quickly went forward and greeted them respectfully.
“It’s you…” Song Siting replied coldly and looked at Ah Cai with some vigilance.
“That’s right, it’s me, Lawyer Song! President Shu knows about your matter and is not very assured. She asked me to come and see you.”
Ah Cai said very calmly. She did not take Song Siting’s cold attitude to heart.
“Let’s go in first. It’s a little cold outside.”
Dongfang Liuyun spoke at the right time and helped Song Siting into the room.
Ah Cai nodded and followed them in.
The few of them sat down on the sofa in the living room. The maid quickly served hot tea.
Dongfang Liuyun instructed the special nurse and the butler on some matters that needed attention. Only Song Siting and Ah Cai were left in the living room.
“Does the Elder Madam have something to say to me?”
Song Siting took the flower tea and took a sip. She turned her head to look at Ah Cai, who had been silent the whole time.
“President Shu has said everything that needs to be said. Lawyer Song, please understand that it is not easy to be the person in charge of the family. Also, please understand her difficulties as a mother.”
Ah Cai thought for a moment and said so.
Hearing this, Song Siting’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Ah Cai, you know very well that she has never been able to accept me. No matter how hard I try, she still hasn’t affirmed me, right?”
