Chapter 1603: Possession (1)

Song Siting’s expression darkened as she stared intently at Dongfang Liuyun. Her gaze lingered on Qi Lei for a moment, but she did not say anything.

Dongfang Gan glanced at the two of them, then turned to look at his wife. After a while, he said, “Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. Since things have come to this, let’s... have dinner first. Qi Lei, after dinner, come to the backyard. I have something to talk to you about.”

Although Dongfang Gan was a little unhappy, he did not want to dismiss his daughter like this. The atmosphere was so tense now. Qi Lei reached out and gently held Dongfang Liuyun’s hand. Naturally, he did not want the situation to become too tense.

“Alright,” replied Qi Lei simply.

“Let’s talk.”

Song Siting suppressed the gloominess in her heart and said this to Dongfang Liuyun.

“We just about the same things, I’m a little tired of it. Let’s leave this matter at that.”

Dongfang Liuyun was clearly unwilling to bring up the old topic with Song Siting. She put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Dongfang Gan. “I’ll go straight to the Marketing Department tomorrow. Get me a copy of the Marketing Department’s information.”

Not wanting to continue this topic, Dongfang Liuyun changed the topic.

“It’s ready. I’ll get Ah Fei to bring it to you later,” replied Dongfang Gan.

He noticed that the atmosphere between the mother and daughter was still a little stiff, so he suddenly stood up. “Liuyun, help me out.”

With that, he walked straight to the kitchen.

Dongfang Liuyun glanced at Song Siting and then looked at Qi Lei. He seemed to sympathize with this man. The situation was indeed as bad as she had imagined.

Qi Lei gave her a reassuring look and slowly let go of her, “Go. I happen to want to talk to mother too.”

Dongfang Liuyun paused for a moment. She took a deep breath and nodded lightly. She glanced at Song Siting and followed Dongfang Gan into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, lunch was almost ready. Dongfang Gan was preparing the last two dishes. When he walked in, he sent the servants away. Only the father and daughter were left in the kitchen. Dongfang Gan was cooking while Dongfang Liuyun stood by his side.

“Don’t take your mother’s temper to heart. After a while, she will slowly accept it. She has always been loyal to Fujiwara. You know this. She also thinks that you and Fujiwara can be happy together. After all...”

“No after all. Father, you know me best. I won’t look back after that one time. Things between us aren’t as complicated as you think. Perhaps it’s because I’m too cold. I don’t want to have anything to do with him in the future. I want to live a new life.”

Dongfang Liuyun paused and walked over. She turned on the tap and washed her hands as she spoke, “Lan Xiu and I are too close. We can only be best friends. We’re not suited to be partners. As for Qi Lei, you might not be satisfied with his character, but I think he might be suitable for me. He treats me very well. I hope you won’t make things difficult for him. I forced him to get married.”

“You’re already speaking up for him. I’ve never seen you defend anyone else like this before.”

Dongfang Gan sighed as the gloominess in his eyes faded.

“He’s not someone else now,” Dongfang Liuyun replied as she looked up at Dongfang Gan. “Father, are you agreeing to our union?”

At this point, Dongfang Gan let out a long sigh as he silently looked at Dongfang Liuyun, “What else can I say? Aren’t you worried that we won’t agree to this? Although I don’t agree, I’ve said that I’ll respect your say on this matter. After all, you’re the one who married him, and you’re the one who has to bear the burden. However, I still think that Qi Lei’s not so simple, I’ll have to test him properly.”

“His background?” Dongfang Liuyun frowned.

“Yes, you might also know that Qi Kai’s background is quite interesting. Back then, when the business world in City Z was in turmoil, the Wang family wanted to borrow the Qi family’s stability. That was why Qi Lei’s mother, Wang Qin, was forced to marry Qi Qiming. Of course, do you believe that Wang Qin’s motive for marrying him was simple? Previously, although the Wang family and the Qi family were polite on the surface, they were not as harmonious in private as they appeared. Everyone knows that Qi Qiming and Wang Qin were not on good terms. Later on, the Wang family withdrew from City Z. I think this matter is definitely not simple.”

Dongfang Gan knew these past events quite clearly. Back then, Old Master Dongfang and the Wang family had some friendship. Dongfang Gan more or less knew some of these things.

“But now that the Qi family is over, I don’t want to pursue his past. I’m not a person without tricks myself, and I don’t have much right to ask of others.”

“I’m worried that you’ll suffer.”

“Do I look like someone who will suffer? Father, I really don’t want you to be influenced by mother’s thoughts. Life isn’t work, so you don’t have to look at others with a critical gaze. Otherwise, all you can see is that person’s shortcomings that have been magnified endlessly.”

“I don’t want to talk about the past. I still have a tomorrow. My expectations are with Qi Lei.”

As Dongfang Liuyun said this, she lowered her eyes. Dongfang Gan was stunned. Looking at his daughter’s calm expression, he could only sigh to himself...

..

Half an hour later, the food was ready. When they sat around the dining table, Dongfang Liuyun noticed that Song Siting’s attitude seemed to have softened. She did not know what she had said to Qi Lei just now.

After lunch, Dongfang Gan called Qi Lei to the backyard while Dongfang Liuyun went back to her room to tidy up some things.

Just as she was done packing, the door was suddenly pushed open and Song Siting walked in.

Dongfang Liuyun stopped for a moment, but she did not turn her head to look.

Song Siting stood at the door and looked at her for a while before walking over. She stopped beside her and handed the things in her hand to Dongfang Liuyun—

“This document...”

“I won’t sign it.”

Dongfang Liuyun knew Song Siting’s intention the moment she opened her mouth. She took the document and flipped through it indifferently. “What do I need these for?”

“Liuyun!”

“I know what you want to say. When you married my father without any hesitation, did you think about these things too? Or did you really like my father?” Dongfang Liuyun asked.

Her gaze was also filled with a faint light as she looked quietly at Song Siting, “I really want to live my life with him. You’ve made many arrangements for me since I was young. This time, please give up. I want him. If you can accept it, then accept it. If you can’t, then forget it.”

Dongfang Liuyun was also tired from talking. She closed the document with one hand, carried the black backpack by the side, and walked towards the door.
