The low rebuke caused Dongfang Rou’er’s entire body to tremble. She subconsciously raised her gaze to look at Fujiwara. Only now did she realize that Fujiwara’s expression was terrifyingly gloomy. His dark eyes were also filled with obvious anger and grief. His fists were tightly clenched as well, Dongfang Rou’er did not doubt that if she continued to speak, Fujiwara’s fists would definitely not show any mercy to her.
She had long expected that Dongfang Rou’er would not be able to control the pain in her heart. Since she had already said everything, she did not want to suppress the feelings in her heart anymore, when she thought of the pain she had suffered from her crush for so many years, her eyes could not help but heat up, and tears welled up in her eyes.
However, she did not want to cry in front of Fujiwara. Who told her to be unable to control her heart and fall in love with such a cold and heartless man?
She could never hope that he would reciprocate her comfort. Moreover, she was the proud Dongfang Rou’er, the heiress of the Dongfang family. She could never allow herself to be so lowly in love. She repeatedly resisted such feelings, but the more she struggled, the deeper she sank, the more she finally could not take it anymore.
“You just can’t accept this reality. Fujiwara, do you know that the more persistent we are, the more injured we will be? Dongfang Liuyun doesn’t care anymore. She doesn’t care if you’re in pain or if you’re having a hard time. Wake up! Just like how you treated me!”
“I like you. I’ve liked you longer than she did before. More than 20 years ago, when I first saw you appear in the Dongfang family, I already liked you. And didn’t you and Dongfang Liuyun only start after that?”
Dongfang Rou’er took a deep breath, forcing back the heat in her eyes. She was extremely heartbroken, and her voice became very bitter.
“That’s your business. I can’t accept any woman who says she has feelings for me. Since you already know, you should also know that there’s only one thing I want forever.”
Fujiwara did not seem to be moved by her words. He gave Dongfang Rou’er a lukewarm glance, then strode over and was about to leave.
“No! Fujiwara, wait! Dongfang Liuyun has already become Missus Qi, are you still not snapping back to reality? She’s not worth it for you to do that for her! She’s not worth it, do you understand!”
Dongfang Rou’er tugged at Fujiwara’s sleeve and cried out involuntarily.
Fujiwara pulled her away in disgust. “This has nothing to do with you. I’ll pretend that I didn’t hear anything tonight.”
“Fujiwara!”
Dongfang Rou’er wanted to chase after him, but Fujiwara called out to Matsuda, and Matsuda walked over.
“Send her out.”
Fujiwara coldly said this, and Dongfang Rou’er was also sadly invited out. When she left the private room, she was in a daze. Her eyes were moist, but her mind was abnormally clear.
She staggered back to her car. After holding it in for a long time, she finally cried…
Meanwhile, in the private room, Fujiwara was also sitting on the sofa. Lan Xiu was pouring wine for him. Seeing that he did not look well, he asked, “What happened? What did that woman say to you? It’s rare for you to react like this, I thought only Liuyun had the power to make you look like this.”
“She’s just a stupid woman who thinks she’s right.”
The corners of Fujiwara’s mouth curled into a disdainful smile. He did not want to mention this woman’s matter, so he took the wine and started drinking.
Seeing this, Lan Xiu hesitated for a moment. Finally, he did not say anything and quietly drank with him.
…
Gradually, night fell. The cold wind was a little chilly. The black luxury car drove into Tanshan Villa area like a hurricane and slowly stopped at the entrance of villa number nine.
The car had just stopped when Ah Cai quickly got down from the front passenger seat and opened the door for Dongfang Shuman in the back seat.
Dongfang Shuman was wearing a dark coat and holding a cane in her hand. She slowly got down from the car and stood by the side of the car, looking up at the luxury house in front of her. The lights in the front yard were still on, and the villa was also brightly lit.
“President Shu, Lawyer Song should still be waiting. The lights are still on inside.”
Ah Cai lowered her voice and walked over.
“Go and ask them to open the door.”
Although Dongfang Shuman’s body was a little weak, her aura did not decrease at all. If it were not for her thin body, she would not look like she was ill.
“Yes! President Shu!”
Ah Cai quickly responded and walked over.
The guard at the front immediately showed respect when he saw Dongfang Shuman. He quickly opened the door and greeted—
“President Shu! You’re here!”
Dongfang Shuman glanced at him and then strode into the villa.
In the large living room of the villa, Song Siting was sitting on the sofa, flipping through documents while waiting for Dongfang Shuman.
The news that Dongfang Shuman was coming over had actually made her feel a little pressured. Dongfang Shuman had always disliked her. She had been married to the Dongfang family for decades, and Dongfang Shuman had never been kind to her. Every time they met, it was neither warm nor cold, Song Siting could naturally see that Dongfang Shuman was very dissatisfied with her. If it were not for Dongfang Gan’s insistence, she would have doubted whether she and Dongfang Gan would be able to stay together until now.
Therefore, Song Siting also harbored resentment towards Dongfang Shuman. However, she did not want to put Dongfang Gan in a difficult position. She could endure as much as she could these few years. If she could not endure, she would just hide.
“Madam, President Shu is here!”
The servant suddenly came to report.
Song Siting paused at this moment. She hurriedly stopped what she was doing. She only turned her head when she heard the greetings and footsteps from the door. Dongfang Shuman’s cold and oppressive figure had already appeared at the door.
She quickly closed the document in her hand and put it aside. Then, she stood up and called out—
“Mother…”
Dongfang Shuman’s footsteps crossed the sofa and directly walked over. She gave her a deep look and her gaze quickly stopped on the document that Song Siting had placed on the side. Her eyes darkened for a moment before she sat down on the sofa across Song Siting.
“Sit down.”
After saying these words coldly, Song Siting slowly sat back down as she busied herself with making tea for Dongfang Shuman.
“Mother, why are you here so late? What’s the matter?”
No matter how domineering Song Siting was usually, she had no choice but to endure her temper in front of Dongfang Shuman.
“Don’t you know what I’m here for? I think you should have recovered by now.”
Dongfang Shuman took the tea, sipped it indifferently and said in a deep voice.
