Chapter 1935. Not For Love (3)
Hearing this, Dongfang Shuman’s gaze fell silent for a moment, as if she was considering something. After a moment, her old eyes regained their calmness—
“What do you think?”
“I want to hear Grandmother’s opinion.” Dongfang Liuyun also said so.
Dongfang Shuman stared at Dongfang Liuyun for a long while before she said, “Sometimes, it’s not so easy to nurture your own people into confidants. The key chess piece is placed in the key position. This chess piece requires you to be able to fully control it. You’re not one of those unwise people. You should know in your heart how to arrange these chess pieces.”
“Your father placed too much importance on relationships. Apart from being calm, he also placed some importance on kinship. Hence, it was fated that there were some things that he could not part with and could only compromise. It was not easy for your Aunty either. For the sake of this family, inheriting the family business is not something that can be messed around with. Of course, if you can’t do it, I don’t mind helping her ascend the throne. Do you understand what I mean?” Dongfang Shuman said without hiding anything.
Dongfang Liuyun’s gaze changed before she replied, “I understand.”
“It’s good that you understand. I won’t forcefully defy your grandfather’s wishes, but I can’t watch the Dongfang family decline in your hands either. Everyone has paid too much for it. This is no longer the will of one person. Once the Dongfang Group declines, how many people will face being laid off? You know how many families will be affected by this. Also, have you paid attention to how many out-of-school children are supported by the charity work of the Dongfang Group in the northwest border?”
Dongfang Shuman spoke earnestly, took a breath, and blinked, “Your grandfather often said before he died that one always wants to live a colorful life. When he was alive, he was dedicated to charity, and I was in charge of the Dongfang Group. That was his wish. You need to continue his spirit. Although I know that I, Dongfang Shuman, am not a good person myself. However, there are some things that I think should be done.”
“I’ve already asked someone to follow up on this matter. Grandmother, don’t worry,” Dongfang Liuyun said.
