Chapter 2022: She Cried (2)

Dongfang Liuyun rushed back to the Dongfang old mansion.

At this moment, in Dongfang Shuman’s room, the doctor was waiting at the side. There were only Ah Cai and Dongfang Xue in the room.

Dongfang Shuman was lying on the bed with a pale face, while Dongfang Xue was standing guard at the side.

The old lady looked very weak at this moment. Ah Cai’s eyes were a little red as she looked at her.

Dongfang Shuman was still able to maintain her consciousness. Her old eyes were filled with calmness, and there was no fear of death. There was only an additional trace of worry.

Ah Cai, who was at the side, could not help but sob softly—

Even though she had always known about Dongfang Shuman’s health and knew that Dongfang Shuman had long been determined to die, but now that she had really caught up, she still felt very uncomfortable, especially when she saw Dongfang Shuman enduring like this, no matter how hard it was, she did not want the children to know about these things.

“Liuyun… Liuyun… is she still not back?” Dongfang Shuman asked in a low voice, her tone very weak.

“President Shu, I have already called her. Miss Liuyun will be back very soon. Don’t worry, take a good rest. She will be back very soon.” Ah Cai took a deep breath and replied softly.

“Oh… She’ll be back soon…”

Dongfang Shuman struggled to sit up, but she could not muster any strength. She could only gasp for breath. Seeing this, Ah Cai hurriedly took the oxygen mask from the side, but Dongfang Shuman waved her hand weakly.

“No need… Ah Cai, you go out first and stand guard outside the door… I’ll have a few words with Ah Xue.”

Dongfang Shuman was naturally still thinking about that unfinished matter in his heart.

Ah Cai sniffed and nodded. She glanced at Dongfang Xue at the side before leaving.

Bang—

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Dongfang Xue turned her gaze to look at the door. Her gaze fell silent for a while before she retracted her gaze to look at Dongfang Shuman on the bed.

“How is your brother?” Dongfang Shuman coughed lightly and asked with difficulty.

Dongfang Xue’s expression darkened for a moment. She pulled up the blanket for her and replied indifferently, “His condition is stable. He won’t die for the time being.”

“I know you have resentment in your heart. After so many years, you’ve shared a lot of pressure for your brother… It’s been hard on you. I also know about your ambitions. You also want the Dongfang Group, right?”

A clear light flashed in Dongfang Shuman’s eyes as she fixed her gaze on Dongfang Xue.

Dongfang Xue listened, but a cold smile appeared on her face, “Since you know, why do you have to ask? You clearly know that my brother was never willing to bear all of this. It was you and father who forced him to bear all of this. And my ability is not inferior to my brother’s. If you could do it, why can’t I do it? Mother, aren’t you a woman too? Isn’t Liuyun the same? Why can you guys do it, but I can’t?”

Dongfang Xue’s tone was extremely cold, but the flowing light in her eyes was very calm. Dongfang Shuman looked at her eyes for a long time. She could see disappointment, grievance, and pain, but there was no so-called greed.

Dongfang Shuman did not answer. She just looked at her deeply, and that gaze was somewhat meaningful.

“Why do you insist on Dongfang Group? My own daughter… I know… you may not really care about these things… you have a lot of resentment in your heart… I don’t expect you to think from the standpoint of your father and me… We’re both old-timers. We just hope that the hundred-year-old foundation of the Dongfang family will not decline and end in our hands… You’re a woman, why do you have to get involved in these things?”

As Dongfang Shuman spoke, she coughed a few more times. Her expression became even worse, and she could barely breathe. Dongfang Xue saw this and quickly helped her to lean against the bed.

“You’re also a woman…,” Dongfang Xue said.

“You can’t even take care of yourself, so how can you manage such a large corporation? Cough cough… Cough cough…”

Dongfang Shuman’s low voice sounded very stern. “It was extremely difficult for your brother to get to the top… What if it was you? Do you really have to get the Dongfang Group?”

Dongfang Xue’s face immediately turned pale.

“To be honest, how have I treated you all these years? Compared to your brother and the others?”

Dongfang Shuman’s gaze still carried a trace of sternness. Only she herself understood that she was also doing her best to help Dongfang Liuyun resolve this last matter.

“Mother, I…”

Dongfang Xue’s tone softened, “I know, but I…”

“Everyone must have a clear idea of their own position in their hearts… if something doesn’t belong to you, don’t fight for it, otherwise…”

“When my father pa.s.sed away, he said the same thing to me.”

Before Dongfang Shuman could finish her words, Dongfang Xue had already cut her off somewhat bitterly.

“Actually, have you ever thought that you and father are both quite selfish. In my impression, you seem to have been forcing us to accept things that we don’t like to do, whether it’s my brother, Liuyun, or me. You’ve never asked our wishes. My brother wanted to be a scholar since he was young and live a peaceful life, but you and father had already forced everything on him before he graduated.”

“Alright, what you’re talking about is already in the past… you can express your dissatisfaction with these things, but… this is fate, who asked you to be born in the Dongfang family?”

Dongfang Shuman coughed a few times, but her eyes were very calm. “If I had to choose again now, I would still do it…”

“So, my brother is now lying in the hospital half-alive, and you think that he should bear that too? The reason why he’s live such a hard life is mostly because of you two!”

Dongfang Xue’s eyes flashed with a cold smile, “Who cares about ident.i.ty? You want to protect the Dongfang family’s business, but you’re doing everything you can to hurt your children. I’ve been made a cripple, and so has my brother. I’m actually looking forward to what misfortune Liuyun will encounter next. I heard that Qi Lei has already disappeared. Wasn’t Zhu Ziwen gone just like that back then? You might not know this, but I’ve never really thought of obtaining the Dongfang Group from Liuyun!”

Dongfang Shuman’s expression changed slightly when she heard Dongfang Xue’s words.

“After Zhu Ziwen died and I aborted our child, I… I had my uterus removed as well. It’s impossible for me to have another child ever again… It’s been so many years. Why do you think I’ve never wanted to think about marriage? Do you think there’s still anyone willing to marry your daughter?”

Before Dongfang Xue could finish her sentence, Dongfang Shuman started coughing violently and could not breathe. Dongfang Xue quickly pulled an oxygen mask over her and put it on her…
