Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes darkened, but her expression did not change. She replied indifferently, “You also said it was a good thing, didn’t you?”

“But, Fourth Lady…If you do that, you…”

In the entire Dongfang Residence, Mr. Xavier was well aware of what was happening under the table, like undercurrents. In comparison with the congenial Dongfang Rouer, he actually looked up to the humility and maturity of the Fourth Lady and admired her capability.

However, Dongfang Rouer was not that simple either. Dongfang Xin, her elder brother, along with Dongfang Yu, the son of the second brother, were both Dongfang Liuyun’s strongest opponents and they had been fighting for the position. On the surface, they had been cordial all these years, but when the curtains were pulled back, it was like a battle to the death.

“Mr. Xavier, you’re a smart person. In this family, you only need to mind your own business. You’d better not pay too much attention to other matters, or you’re the one who will suffer. Do you understand?” Dongfang Liuyun said as she stopped and turned to look at Mr. Xavier.

Mr. Xavier was taken aback and he seemed to suddenly realize something. He quickly replied with a stiff expression, “Yes, Fourth Lady. I’ll be more careful. Sorry.”

“Just remember, protecting yourself is what you should do and there’s no point worrying about whatever is happening at home. You’ve been with Grandpa for many years and I hope you can live a stable life,” Dongfang Liuyun said with a hint of melancholy in her voice.

Mr. Xavier was an old man who had been with the old Master Dongfang for many years, and he had been extremely kind to him when he was still around. He was also very kind to Dongfang Liuyun, so he was one of the few people that she thought she could talk to in this house. In addition to that, she respected him.

Mr. Xavier could certainly understand what Dongfang Liuyun was implying, so he responded, “Fourth Lady, you’re too kind. I know, but I’m still a little worried about you…”

“There’s nothing to worry about. It’s nothing. They should all be back by now, shouldn’t they?” Dongfang Liuyun continued to walk forward as she asked.

“Yes, Master Xin and Master Yu are all back. President Ren and the rest are all in the lobby hosting the guests, but President Yi hasn’t returned yet. The Second Lady has made several calls, but he didn’t answer. There were noises coming from their home last night, and I think the couple got into an argument again. Third Lady wanted to stop them, but she accidentally cut her wrist on a broken vase, so they called a doctor over that night,” Mr. Xavier said as he lowered his voice.

When Dongfang Liuyun heard this, she sneered and said, “It’s about time they started arguing.”

“Yes, President Yi is having an affair with a young woman. I heard that the woman just graduated from university a few years ago and was a Masters student. She was in the marketing department before and had just been a.s.signed to the company’s public relations department…People were saying it’s because of President Yi, thus the Second Lady argued with him because of this. However, she doesn’t know much about that woman since all this information came from the detective agency…”

Mr. Xavier was close to Dongfang Gan, and Song Siting trusted him too, so it was normal for him to know all these.

“Really? She still likes doing things like that as always,” Dongfang Liuyun said coldly. He could not tell what she meant from her tone.

“Fourth Lady…”

…

On the stairs leading to the main hall of the old Dongfang house, the red carpet was rolled out all the way to the hall. The large front yard was filled with flower baskets and decorated with colored balloons. The large courtyard was lined with buffet tables on both sides, filled with all kinds of exquisite snacks and fine wines. A simple and elegant small stage was set up on the stairs in the front. On the small stage, a band was giving a live performance, and the place was packed with guests. These guests included those who often appeared in magazines or newspapers, as well as those that were popular in the entertainment and fas.h.i.+on industry.

Dongfang Liuyun had a general impression of these people. With the information she had obtained from Lan Xiu before, she also roughly knew who these people mingled with.

Although she did not like attending a banquet like this, she had no other choice this time.

Many of those who attended were young talents, trust fund babies, successful entrepreneurs, or pretentious wealthy girls from rich families. Dongfang Liuyun had been accustomed to it since she was a child. In fact, events like these were essential to provide these people with opportunities to get to know each other. Therefore, each banquet might be a life-changing event for some people.

Romantic Latin dance music echoed throughout the yard, and it was certainly fitting for the event. Many people went on the dance floor in front of the stage in pairs.

Dongfang Liuyun slowly stopped in her tracks and stood at the end of the red carpet as she watched the scene indifferently. She looked around with her sharp gaze but did not see Dongfang Ren and Dongfang Rouer. She pondered for a while and lowered her eyes indifferently. She had no intention to go back into the house. Instead, she turned around and took a cup of warm water from the dining table beside her and found a quiet place to sit down.

At this very moment, a black limousine was parked next to the New Era Plaza.

In the back seat of the car, Qi Lei was looking at the laptop screen on his lap attentively. The faint blue light from the screen made his handsome face seem lonely. Yang Sheng was looking at him from the front pa.s.senger seat, not wanting to disturb him, but he took a deep breath and finally interrupted as he thought about the schedule, “Master Qi, Dongfang Ren’s birthday banquet should begin soon. He intends to work with us since they’ve always wanted to get South River Project No. 1. I think it’s good to make connections even if we don’t work with him. We don’t normally talk to the Dongfang family, but it’s not a bad thing for us to be cordial with such a big family. In the future, maybe Miss Dongfang can also…” As Yang Sheng went on, the softer he spoke and in the end, he went silent…

“Go on,” Qi Lei said when he noticed that Yang Sheng had gone quiet.

Yang Sheng took a deep breath and had to bite the bullet as he continued, “Miss Dongfang may inherit the Dongfang Group in the future. However, all the deceit and deception in the Dongfang family may be hard on Miss Dongfang. I also feel that this birthday banquet’s not that simple, or else someone like Miss Dongfang wouldn’t have attended it. As far as I know, she rarely attends such occasions…”
