Chapter 1532. Not A Simple Banquet (3)
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…”
