Chapter 1825: Can’t Let Her Lose (4)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Song Siting herself was a very legendary figure. It was not easy for her to get to where she was today step by step. She was also a person who had gone through a lot of hardships, so her self-esteem was much higher than many people.
Dongfang Shuman had never liked her as a daughter-in-law. She was too ambitious and too self-righteous, and she was not tactful in handling matters. Her son Dongfang Gan would definitely find it tiring to be with her, and she also did not have the ability to be the mistress of the Dongfang Group. By the looks of the current situation, it would be considered good if she did not fall out with her family.
“Lawyer Song, actually, President Shu has always been right about things and not about people. You and President Gan have been together for so many years. If she is really determined to oppose you, there are countless ways to make it impossible for the two of you to be together. President Shu also took into account the relationship between you and President Gan, as well as the relationship between her and President Gan’s mother, thus making a concession.”
Ah Cai also explained in a low voice.
“Actually, Lawyer Song, you know very well that if we didn’t stand in other people’s shoes and consider the other party’s situation, it would be impossible to come up with a way to achieve the best of both worlds. Lawyer Song, you are very independent and strong. I also admire you on this point. But ask yourself, what have you done for President Gan all these years? “What have you done for the Fourth Lady? Or, what have you done for the Dongfang family?”
Ah Cai’s gaze was very calm, and Song Siting understood very well that what she meant was also what Dongfang Shuman meant.
“Lawyer Song, you should be very clear about what is placed in front of President Gan. Forgive me for being blunt, Lawyer Song, in name, you do care about the father and daughter pair, but you really live very selfishly. This is also President Shu’s evaluation of you.”
“Did she really say that?”
Song Siting’s face turned cold as she listened and asked.
Ah Cai took a light breath and nodded solemnly. “Yes, President Shu said that. She said that if you never recognize this fact and don’t make a change, she will never recognize you as her daughter-in-law.”
Such tough words without any discussion were indeed the usual style of Dongfang Shuman. Song Siting had always been very clear about it.
When Ah Cai said this, Song Siting’s face naturally tensed up a little. After thinking for a moment, she did not say anything else.
When Ah Cai saw this, she naturally stopped and slowly stood up—
“I have brought President Shu’s words to you. If I have crossed any unnecessary lines, please forgive me, Lawyer Song. I am only responsible for conveying President Shu’s thoughts. President Shu also hopes that you can live a good life, but she hopes that Lawyer Song can also stand in their shoes and consider more. Alright, I’ll go back first.”
After Ah Cai said this, she slightly bowed and then turned around.
“Fourth Lady, I’ll go back first!”
When she saw Dongfang Liuyun walking over, Ah Cai also spoke very respectfully.
“Don’t you want to have lunch together? I’m going over in the afternoon anyway,” said Dongfang Liuyun.
“No need. President Shu is still waiting for me at home. There are some documents that need to be sorted out,” replied Ah Cai.
Dongfang Liuyun listened and naturally did not try to persuade her to stay. She nodded. “I’ll see you in the afternoon then.”
“See you in the afternoon.” Ah Cai replied and then left.
Dongfang Liuyun watched Ah Cai’s figure disappear outside the door. After a while, she turned around to look at Song Siting who was sitting on the sofa.
Song Siting was sitting quietly on the sofa and did not speak. She looked a little lonely. Dongfang Liuyun could not describe the feeling.
“What do you want to eat for lunch?”
Dongfang Liuyun thought about it and asked. Of course, she would not ask if something had happened to her.
Hearing this, Song Siting finally collected her thoughts. After a while, she said calmly, “Anything is fine.”
Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes darkened. Finally, she did not say anything more. She turned around and walked to the kitchen.
About an hour later, a few fresh home-cooked dishes were served. They were all appetizing dishes.
In this family, Dongfang Liuyun rarely cooked. Most of them were cooked by her father, Dongfang Gan. It was extremely rare for Dongfang Liuyun to be personally cooking,
The mother and daughter sat down face to face.
Dongfang Liuyun respectfully served a bowl of soup for Song Siting. She moved it slowly in front of her and then served a bowl for herself.
“Your grandmother’s prejudice against me has never lessened. As you can see, I have worked hard over the years. Liuyun, do you really think that I am a selfish and irresponsible mother?”
Song Siting stopped what she was doing and quietly raised her head to look at her daughter who was quietly drinking the soup with her head lowered.
Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun paused for a moment. She quietly raised her gaze to look at her. After a moment of silence, she said faintly, “I will not participate in the discussion between the both of you. I have already said my opinion of you. There is a difference of opinions between us, our philosophies are different and there is no need to discuss it.”
Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was very indifferent. She had nothing to say to Song Siting since a long time ago.
Song Siting’s tensed face subconsciously stiffened. It was a long while later before she quietly lowered her head and drank the soup. Indeed, she did not know the taste of the food and her eyes were a little absent-minded.
“It’s very difficult for you to accept the opinions of others, and you never take into account the opinions of others. You always think that what you insist on is right, and that the path you have taken should be the same for others. You just need to manage yourself, don’t expect to be able to control others. The thoughts and actions of others have nothing to do with you,” said Dongfang Liuyun.
“If you weren’t my daughter, I naturally wouldn’t want to care about you. I admit that I’m too tough when it comes to things, but more often than not, it’s easier to be tough. What Dongfang family? Do you really think that I care about the Dongfang family? If your father wasn’t worried about the Dongfang family, would he be so tired? Why do you think you have to bear all these things? Is the Dongfang family a great honor to you?”
As Song Siting spoke, a cold look of disdain appeared on her face, “The Dongfang family shouldn’t always use this as an excuse to think that they are superior. Thirty years ago, your father and I weren’t blessed by them in our marriage. They all thought that I was the one who climbed up the ladder and was ostracized after I entered the family. “If it weren’t for your father, do you really think that I care about the status of these prestigious families?”
“You wouldn’t understand, Liuyun! “Only we know what I have endured and all the difficulties that we have experienced. Why have your father and I always been on the same side all these years? It’s because we both understand the things that we need to protect. It’s not that there’s no such thing as compromise in your mother’s life, we just don’t want to make any unnecessary compromise!”
