Lin Yuanyuan angrily rebuked, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
Hearing this, Dongfang Rou’er took a deep breath and closed her eyes to calm herself down for a long time. Then, she opened her eyes and walked towards the sofa. She sat down and unhurriedly poured a glass of water.
“Mother, when you married Father, was it because you loved him deeply?” Dongfang Rou’er asked.
Lin Yuanyuan nodded. “Of course it was. Your Father and I were truly in love at that time. Because we married into the Dongfang family, we suffered a lot.”
“That’s right. You and Father married because you were in love, but what about me? Now that I think about my future life, I feel scared and uneasy. Why can’t I marry the person I like?” Dongfang Rou’er said bitterly, “Life is so long. Mother, I really can’t accept it.”
“Ah Sheng is very good to you. Listen to me and don’t worry anymore. Not everyone has the good luck of that witch Dongfang Liuyun. If you miss this, there might not be another one. You’re not young anymore, so it’s hard to find such a suitable match. Don’t think too much about it. Look at your father and me now. No matter how sweet our relationship is, it’s all gone.”
As Lin Yuanyuan spoke, she fixed her gaze on Dongfang Rou’er.
“Isn’t your father still flirting with other women behind my back? Love? Rou’er, this is how it is after marriage. The passion will be diluted very quickly. Do you think that the so-called love will continue so easily? Ah Sheng is really suitable for you. At a time like this, you should stop letting your imagination run wild.”
At a time like this, Lin Yuanyuan naturally could not allow Dongfang Rou’er to have such thoughts. Otherwise…
“I’m not letting my imagination run wild. I’m thinking, what exactly am I doing this for? Mother, are you and Father sacrificing me to help my brother?”
“Why would you think such nonsense! What do you mean to help your brother?Isn’t your father your parent too? If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t be able to live a life of luxury. Rou’er, our family can’t have such thoughts like yours. We have to be united, understand?”
When Lin Yuanyuan heard Dongfang Rou’er’s words, she was so scared that her heart almost slowed down.
“Think such nonsense? You know what you’re thinking. All these years, I’ve been busy working in the company. When something went wrong with my brother, it was always me and Father who helped him settle it. What about me? Every time I face a difficult problem, I don’t see Father being so enthusiastic. I finally understand what Dongfang Liuyun said before. I’m indeed a fool!”
“Rou’er! You’re crazy! Nonsense! How could you have such thoughts!”
Lin Yuanyuan looked at Dongfang Rou’er in disbelief. Suddenly, she felt that her daughter was very unfamiliar.
“You two didn’t consider me at all. What you said before about being my strong backing was just you two painting me an illusion!”
As Dongfang Rou’er spoke, she raised her head and drank up the water in her cup. She took a deep breath and continued, “I want to see the real thing. Even if I were to marry into the family, seeing these things would be of value to them. That’s why they would give me some face, isn’t it?”
Dongfang Rou’er spoke without any trace of politeness. She had thought a lot during this period of time. She also felt that she should fight for something?
The reason why she lost to Dongfang Liu Yun was because she did not fight for these things like she did. If she could really occupy a position in the Dongfang Group, she believed that her own worth would definitely rise. It would not go as far as feeling like she was like a flower vase that was being manipulated at will, and her ability was clearly not inferior to Dongfang Liuyun’s!
“What do you want then?”
Lin Yuanyuan looked at Dongfang Rou’er in shock. The daughter in front of him made her feel very unfamiliar.
“What I want is very simple. If you really want me to continue to serve you, then I must get what I should get. I want half of the shares in Father’s hands!”
Dongfang Rou’er’s words were very straightforward.
However, upon hearing this, Lin Yuanyuan’s eyes widened—
“Impossible! Get half? Your father will never agree to it! You’ll become a member of the Jin family when you marry over, what would happen once those shares are handed to you?”
Lin Yuanyuan naturally would not agree.
“You can’t? Are you planning to leave all these things to that trash, my brother? What has he done for the company all these years? What right does a hardworking person have to protect a trash like him? Other than playing office romances with those flamboyant little secretaries, or flirting with those famous models, what else did he do? All these years, wasn’t it father who protected him? Otherwise, Grandmother would have long sent him away! Just like Dongfang Yu!”
Dongfang Rou’er’s heart was filled with grievance and dissatisfaction!
“You only have eyes for brother! Mother, why? Even you two are like this, why am I much better than him, yet you won’t support me?”
Dongfang Rou’er’s eyes were filled with incomprehension, “I’m just a commodity for you guys to weigh the benefits. Mother, look at Dongfang Liuyun, how did Third Uncle and Third Aunt treat her? Whether it’s marriage or work, they let her make her own decisions. They won’t let her marry someone she doesn’t love. Mother, we’re both daughters of the Dongfang family. Why should I have to bear all of this? Have you all thought about me?”
As Dongfang Rou’er spoke, tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. The grievance and pain that she had suppressed for a long time was suddenly released.
Only she herself knew how unwilling and wronged she was to marry Jin Sheng. The person she loved was Fujiwara, Fujiwara…
When she thought of this, she could not help but feel a dull pain in her chest.
“Rou’er… you know the situation in our family the best. Dongfang Liuyun is just a Dongfang Liuyun. Your father’s side isn’t good to begin with. It’s not good for you to say this now… Your father…”
“I didn’t ask my father to give me those shares right now. I just hope that after he retires, he can take care of me a little. I can’t have nothing! I didn’t get anything from the Jin family! Do you think that Jin Sheng didn’t marry me with ulterior motives?”
Dongfang Rou’er looked at Lin Yuanyuan with some sarcasm.
Lin Yuanyuan’s eyes darkened, and she was actually a little speechless.
“So, do you still think that I can really live the good life of the Eldest Mistress just because I married over? Mother, I’m not a fool. How can I not understand living in such a big family? Why does Second Aunt have a higher status in the company and even in the family than you and Third Aunt? Isn’t it because she has all the shares of the Li family’s company in her hands? Although Second Uncle is fooling around outside, at home, it is not Second Uncle’s decision.”
