Chapter 1767: Future Son-in-law? (3)

As soon as Lin Yuanyuan said this, Dongfang Rou’er was stunned. For a moment, she did not seem to know how to answer. She just lowered her eyes and remained silent.

“Did you hear me?”

Seeing that Dongfang Rou’er didn’t say anything, Lin Yuanyuan immediately frowned and stared at Dongfang Rou’er. After thinking for a moment, she asked, “Did you have a fight with Ah Sheng? Or what happened? I see that you guys haven’t been doing well lately. Why hasn’t Ah Sheng come over in the past few days?”

“No, Mother, you’re overthinking it. Ah Sheng has been very busy with work recently. He’s been wanting to take over the project at the east side of the city. After Grandmother’s birthday, this project will be put on the agenda. Now, he has to make more plans. Besides, he can’t always be coming over. The gifts have already been prepared.”

Dongfang Rou’er explained.

Hearing this, Lin Yuanyuan glanced at her, “Rou’er, Ah Sheng is really a good person. Once you marry him and become the First Mistress of the Jin family, you’ll understand. That girl, Dongfang Liuyun, can’t be compared to you. You’ve been much more outstanding than her since you were young. It’s her bad luck to have a mother like Song Siting. All these years, if it wasn’t for the fact that Third Brother could still hold on, I wonder what kind of trouble she, Song Siting, would have caused.”

When she said these, Lin Yuanyuan’s eyes were filled with disdain.

“Dongfang Liuyun is just like that top-notch mother of hers. She’s as tough as a rock. I don’t know how Dongfang Gan can stand it. She seems to be almost thirty. I heard that Third Brother was still hoping for her to marry Lan Xiu. Lan Xiu is a pretty good person. He has a deep affection for her, Dongfang Liuyun. Hmph…”

“I really don’t know why she’s so popular with men. From Fujiwara to Lan Qi and Lan Xiu, every one of them have a soft spot for her. Why are you so disappointing? You’re clearly not any worse than her.”

Lin Yuanyuan’s words were unintentional. However, her words made Dongfang Rou’er’s expression stiffen.

After a moment of silence, she smiled bitterly. “If I had the luck with men, I wouldn’t have to be so…”

“Alright, don’t take these words to heart. At least you are much better than her, Dongfang Liuyun. Ah Sheng is very good. Your father and I are very satisfied. He and your brother are good friends. We know each other very well. If you marry him, we don’t have to worry about them bullying you. With our Dongfang Group backing you up, your status in the Jin family won’t be low. Even though that Madam Jin is powerful, I think she’s no match for you.”

Lin Yuanyuan could sense that Dongfang Rou’er’s expression was not looking too good, so she took a deep breath and said this.

Dongfang Rou’er took a deep breath and nodded, “I know, Mother. Ah Sheng is not bad. He wants to hold the wedding at the end of the year, but I… I just don’t seem to be ready yet. When I think of the word ‘marriage’, I feel a little lost.”

“How lost can you be? You’re just thinking too much. Look at your father and me. Isn’t your father a playboy? All these years, I’ve turned a blind eye. When it comes to men, especially when they’ve reached a certain status, you can’t control them even if you want to. Because, when you really care about him, he will be your heaven and your earth. As long as you can protect your position and occupy an important position in his heart., that’s all that matters.”

Lin Yuanyuan was silent for a moment, and finally she said this. In fact, Dongfang Rou’er could hear a hint of helplessness and hidden sadness in Lin Yuanyuan’s words, but…

Yes, she also knew that her father, Dongfang Ren, had more than one woman outside, right?

“I haven’t really cared about these things over the years. Those vixens could never sway my position. However, Rou’er, you’re different from me. You’re beautiful, capable, and you have the Dongfang Group behind you. Ah Sheng won’t be like your father. It’s not an easy thing to occupy a man’s heart forever. That’s something I’ve been trying to figure out my whole life, but I still don’t know the answer…”

“No, Mother, you’re too pessimistic. Look at how Third Uncle has been good to Third Aunt all his life?”

Dongfang Rou’er said.

“Hmph, Song Siting’s methods have always been formidable, and your Third Uncle is a rare affectionate person, they’re a different breed. Alright, let’s not talk about these things anymore. Right now, the most important thing is to live well.”

At the mention of Song Siting, at this moment, other than resentment, Lin Yuanyuan actually felt a little envious—

That is right, Song Siting!

Dongfang Gan’s feelings for Song Siting were so good that they were envious. Every time they appeared together, they could only see a warm harmony and simple happiness from their actions, these were things that they could only hope for but could not get. How could they not be envious?

…

Tai Yu Corporation, in the President’s office.

Mu Yuchen’s sudden visit in the morning naturally surprised Qi Lei.

The two buddies sat down at the coffee table. Qi Lei did not make any tea. Instead, he let Yang Sheng bring in a bottle of aged red wine from the wine cabinet.

He leisurely poured into the two empty wine glasses in front of him and handed one of them to Mu Yuchen across from him. He raised his eyes slightly and glanced at him. “I thought you were so busy that you forgot about me, your good friend.”

Then, he elegantly held the wine glass and took a sip.

Mu Yuchen looked back at him and did not think much of it. “I should be the one saying this. Right now, your entire body exudes an aura that’s been well-nourished, but it’s more comfortable to look at compared to before.”

Qi Lei did not expect Mu Yuchen to say such shocking words. He almost choked and coughed a few times. He subconsciously lowered his head to look at himself and could not help but ask, “How do you see that I’m well-nourished? When you say that word, it makes me feel weird. I haven’t seen you for a few days, but you’ve become more unrestrained? Does Xi Xiaye know?”

“In her eyes, no matter how unrestrained I am, I’m still a cold and aloof Prince Charming.”

Mu Yuchen lowered his head and took a sip of wine. He glanced sideways at Qi Lei.

Qi Lei shot him a disdainful look, “I know that you used a trick to trick XI Xiaye back then. People like you are just plain coquettish. I used to look down on you people who love to act, but you lot are nice to look at.”

“You have feelings for us, so naturally, you feel very comfortable watching us. How have you been recently? Xiaye’s been concerned about your situation.”

Mu Yuchen was actually just passing by today. Since he was quite close by, he decided to come up and sit.
