1773. Chapter 1773 Do You Care About Me? (IV)
When driving over, Qi Lei had already arrived, ordered a table full of delicious food, and naturally also ordered some wine.
Dongfang Liuyun poured wine into the three cups in front of him, moved them one by one in front of Lan Xiu and Qi Lei, and then took a cup himself, looking at the two of them with a faint light in his starry eyes. ——
"Let's toast. In my mind, this seems to be the first time the three of us have gotten together like this, drinking a glass of wine and having a meal together."
After the words fell, Qi Lei and Lan Xiu exchanged glances with each other before picking up the wine glasses.
Several people toasted each other and drank their fill.
"I can see that you come here often to have fun."
Lan Xiu smiled and said that when the waiter brought the wine and food just now, he knew their tastes, so he must be a regular customer here.
"I come here often in the past two years. It's not far from Debao Zhai. I haven't been back to the store for a long time. Uncle Ming is taking care of it."
Dongfang Liuyun said and poured wine for the two of them.
"Uncle Ming? Is he still strong?"
Naturally, Lan Xiu also knew Uncle Ming. He was Old Dongfang's former right-hand man. After Old Dongfang left, he also stepped back and treated Dongfang Liuyun very well.
"Fortunately, I'm alone and quite lonely. Fortunately, he also likes these antiques. It's the best thing to leave it to him to take care of."
"That's good."
…
Qi Lei didn't say much, he just stayed with her silently, occasionally peeling a few shrimps into Dongfang Liuyun's bowl and adding some of her favorite dishes.
Dongfang Liuyun and Lan Xiu did not shy away from talking about some business matters during the dinner, and of course, Dongfang Schumann's birthday tomorrow.
"Things that should be faced must be faced sooner or later. Lan Xiu, don't worry about anything. The Dongfang family's affairs have nothing to do with you. Don't make it too difficult for yourself. It's time to think about yourself."
Dongfang Liuyun said calmly, took a breath, drank the wine in another gulp, lowered his eyes and said, "Grandpa has told me before that Dongfang Group is a mess to begin with. I really want to take charge of it, right? It’s not an easy thing. I only understand it now, but I just don’t want his hard work to be ruined by our generation.”
"The Eastern Group has gone through so many years and has had many internal problems. Only now do I know how difficult it was for my father to hold on. He was fine with his tricks, but he took friendship too seriously. I know that she was with Grandpa and his ex-wife had an agreement, and now she is very passive. Grandma has been reluctant to talk about this, but grandpa told me. "
"Now, do you know why grandma doesn't dare to touch Dongfang Ren and Dongfang Yi? Even my dad is a little restrained by this matter now. I am destined to be this bad guy."
When Dongfang Liuyun said this, he turned slightly, smiled sadly, picked up the wine bottle, and poured himself another glass, "Actually, my grandma and my parents all know about my situation, so …”
"It was calm in the past few years, but in the past two years, some people have been unable to hold back. Otherwise, my dad would not have had frequent accidents in Myanmar. I am now a fledgling, and if something really happened to my dad, With my understanding and ability of the Eastern Group, it will be equivalent to a useless game. "
"Liu Yun, don't think too much. Everything is developing very well now, and Uncle Dongfang knows it well."
Lan Xiu tried to comfort.
"Let's not talk about these things for now and have a good drink tonight."
Dongfang Liuyun finally got tired of it after talking about it.
Lan Xiu was naturally not so ignorant, so he stopped talking.
…
When we returned, it was already very late. Dongfang Liuyun was not drunk at all. In fact, she drank the most. Qi Lei didn't drink much because he was thinking about driving.
Lan Xiu also had a good drinking capacity, but Ali sent him back later.
"I won't let you lose. The Eastern Group will definitely be in your hands."
As the car was speeding towards the Shengshui Villa area, Qi Lei suddenly said something like this. The sonorous and firm voice broke the silence in the car. It seemed exceptionally clear and naturally reached Dongfang Liuyun's ears clearly.
Dongfang Liuyun on the side quickly turned his eyes away from the street scene outside and looked at him silently. After a moment, he smiled lightly and said, "Do you think I can do it?"
"certainly."
Qi Lei replied.
"Then I will definitely be able to do it."
Dongfang Liuyun smiled.
Qi Lei raised his eyebrows, a little confused.
"You have so much confidence in me, so naturally I have to have confidence in myself."
"Your ability to adjust is quite surprising."
"Otherwise, why do you think I am a teacher?"
Dongfang Liuyun accepted his praise without any humility.
…
Similarly, it was already late at night when Lan Xiu returned home.
Ali asked the servant to cook him some hangover soup and served it to him on the second floor.
Lan Xiu had just finished bathing and changed into a nightgown.
"Mr. Lan, this is the hangover soup. I drank a lot of wine at night. You can drink a little. You may be able to sleep more comfortably later. You haven't had a good rest for several days. The work next week will be very intense. You need to pay more attention to your body."
Ali said with concern.
Lan Xiu glanced at him, then crossed over with his slender body and sat on the sofa. He reached out and took the sobering soup handed over by Ali, and quickly drank two sips. His whole body felt refreshed. It feels a lot better.
"You should go back early, thank you for your hard work."
Lan Xiu slightly raised his head and looked at Ali.
"It's okay, Mr. Lan, your state is quite uneasy. Today, Miss Dongfang... seems to be a bit shy about Master Fujiwara's affairs. Mr. Lan, why do you have to worry about this? Miss Dongfang may be in your life. Here, I'm afraid they are just passers-by. Even if we don't think about it now, the result is obvious. I think we might..."
"Liu Yun is not a passer-by, Ali. You know my situation these years, and from my standpoint, I know you are doing it for my own good. But, what have you gone through in those years, and how did you persevere, but you He may not know it, but Liu Yun knows it very well. If it weren’t for her these years, I probably wouldn’t exist today.”
Before Ali could finish his words, he was suddenly cut off by Lan Xiu, "She can't be a passer-by, she can't be a passer-by."
Lan Xiu thought that there was probably no one in this world who could occupy such an important position in Lan Xiu's heart. Of course, even Lan Xiu himself couldn't compare with her.
It's just a pity that there is... between them.
