Chapter 2035: Provocation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Dongfang Liuyun raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked at Dongfang Rou’er indifferently.
Dongfang Rou’er also looked at her calmly.
A moment later, a smile appeared on Dongfang Liuyun’s face. She put down the teacup in her hand and slowly leaned back against the chair behind her. Her tone was very calm.
“Dongfang Rou’er, do you think I look like a fool?”
Dongfang Rou’er’s expression froze for a moment before she replied, “No, I think Fourth Sister is a smart person.”
As soon as she said that, Dongfang Liuyun immediately laughed out loud—
“Since that’s the case, do you think that I would agree to a question that even a fool would not agree to? Don’t forget, the Dongfang Group is not just a company under me and my father. Your father is also involved. If you want to come over to negotiate terms, you should be looking for your father. You’re thinking too much of yourself if you want to fight for the shares in my father’s hands like this.”
Hearing this, Dongfang Rou’er immediately sank and then sneered, “Fourth Sister, why do you have to struggle like this? I’m afraid that Third Uncle can’t even protect himself now. I’m just concerned about you so that you won’t get nothing later! Third Uncle couldn’t even solve the issue of the mine in Myanmar. The shareholders are very dissatisfied with him now! With Grandmother gone, the company’s shares will have to be redistributed, right?”
“The company’s shares need to be redistributed? Who told you that?”
“Fourth Sister, Grandmother didn’t make a will. Moreover, Grandmother was very dissatisfied with you before. Now that Grandmother has passed away, shouldn’t the shares in her hands be distributed equally? To tell you the truth, the company’s shareholders’ meeting has already decided to elect a new President. Do you really think that you can sit safely in the position of the person in charge? Stop dreaming!”
Dongfang Rou’er looked at Dongfang Liuyun with a look that said they were happy about their misfortunes. “Moreover, what qualifications and abilities do you have to inherit the entire company now?”
“You sound so certain? Even if my father is injured and cannot continue to take over the company, it doesn’t seem like it’s up to any of you, right? Didn’t your father and the others all read Grandfather’s will? All the shares under his name belong to me. Wouldn’t it be an easy matter for me to take over the company?” Dongfang Liuyun said.
Dongfang Rou’er suddenly smiled, “I’ve never heard of any will. Third Uncle took over the company because Grandmother was unwell and allowed Third Uncle to temporarily act as the company’s president. Furthermore, didn’t Grandmother come out to take over the company later on? What will? I’ve never heard of it.”
As soon as Dongfang Rou’er said this, a flash of inspiration flashed through Dongfang Liuyun’s mind.
Such a matter of denying the will was not that simple, right?
Dongfang Liuyun remembered that it was precisely because of that will that Dongfang Gan was able to smoothly take over the company. Now…
Unless, they really thought that the will no longer existed?
Dongfang Liuyun’s starry eyes froze. She could not help but stare intently at Dongfang Rou’er. Looking at how confident she was, her gaze gradually turned cold.
“Alright! I won’t say anymore. You should weigh it properly yourself. Don’t blame me for not reminding you. We are sisters. Fourth Sister, you should do what is best for you.”
Dongfang Rou’er looked at Dongfang Liuyun with a sneer—
Dongfang Liuyun, I want to see how you can turn the tables this time!
Without waiting for Dongfang Liuyun to reply, Dongfang Rou’er had already left.
Dongfang Liuyun turned her gaze away and looked outside. Dongfang Rou’er’s figure was gradually moving further and further away.
She sat quietly for a long time until the tea in the teacup in her hand became cold. Then, she slowly retracted her gaze and lowered her head, silently eating her snacks.
After a long time, she took out her phone and dialed a number.
The person on the other end quickly picked up.
“Hello?”
“Aunt, it’s me. I want to talk to you.”
The phone call was to Dongfang Xue.
Dongfang Xue was silent for a moment before she replied, “Come to my place tomorrow morning and have breakfast with me.”
“Okay,” Dongfang Liuyun replied.
“How is your father?”
Dongfang Xue was still quite concerned about Dongfang Gan. Over the years, she had helped him a lot.
“He has already woken up. He is a little dispirited after hearing the news of Grandmother’s death. Give him some time to accept it. Too many things have happened recently and even I can’t bear it.”
“It’s good that he’s awake. Your Grandmother has already passed away, so he has to accept this fact.”
Dongfang Xue had actually known about Dongfang Shuman’s physical condition a long time ago, so she was not too surprised to see Dongfang Shuman suddenly pass away.
That was because she also knew that such a day would come sooner or later.
“Mmm, my mother has been accompanying him. Let him calm down. His body is still very weak, and the doctor said that he needs to rest for a period of time.”
At this moment, Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was also tinged with fatigue.
As for Dongfang Xue, Dongfang Liuyun did not have any prejudice against her.
Perhaps it was because of the words that Dongfang Shuman said before she died, and Dongfang Xue had also promised it. Dongfang Xue could not tell the kind of feelings she had in her heart at this moment, these few days had been cold and quiet.
These few days, when the cold wave came, she could not withstand the cold weather. She caught a cold and had a high fever for the past two days. This morning, it finally managed to subside.
“Don’t worry, he’ll get better if all is fine.” Dongfang Xue said this, but she did not know if it was a consolation.
“Thank you, Aunt.”
Dongfang Liuyun wanted to trust this aunt completely because she wanted to bet on Dongfang Xue’s heart.
“Alright, see you tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Dongfang Liuyun heaved a sigh of relief.
From what Dongfang Rou’er had just said, it was likely that the company would hold a shareholders’ meeting in the next few days. After all, the current situation of the Dongfang Group looked terrible to outsiders.
If it was as she had expected, then Dongfang Ren should side with Dongfang Rou’er tomorrow. Moreover, the Jin family would do their best to help at this time, so it was very likely that Dongfang Rou’er would be the person sitting in that position. Furthermore, since Dongfang Rou’er dared to be so sure, she must have a trump card.
After thinking for a long time, she finally gave Wang Chun a call.
“Missus?”
Wang Chun picked up quickly.
“Hello, Vice President Wang Chun. I’m sorry to trouble you so late at night,” Dongfang Liuyun apologized.
“Missus, you’re too courteous! Did something happen?” Wang Chun asked.
“I want to prove my guess about the fire at De Bao House. Please help me thoroughly investigate whether Dongfang Rou’er has anything to do with Mr. Ge. Also, investigate Mr. Ge, Fujiwara, and Inoue’s home…” Dongfang Liuyun instructed calmly.
Wang Chun was stunned for a moment, but he did not ask anything after that. He said immediately, “Don’t worry, Missus. I’m already investigating Mr. Ge. I’ll send someone to investigate Dongfang Rou’er right now.”
