“You put too much pressure on yourself and have too high of expectations, that’s why you feel pressured.”

Dongfang Gan glanced at her and sat down on the side. After some thought, he continued, “You should be like me, support Liuyun fully. She’s still the one who has to walk this path in the future. In my opinion, Qi Lei is quite compatible with her. According to my recent observations, ever since she married Qi Lei, she seems to be doing well.”

“You’re on her side, so I can’t beat you. I’ve got nothing to say about Qi Lei’s performance as a son-in-law for now, it’s just that…”

“Then you’ve underestimated the Qi family. Do you think that a family that has a history of more than a hundred years can really be completely wiped out even after it’s whitewashed? Why did the Wang family insist on a marriage alliance with the Qi family in the first place? Furthermore, with Wang Qin’s personality, Qi Kai alone might not be enough to make her have to rely on Qi Qiming. The Wang family is also a powerful family.”

Dongfang Gan did not continue after that.

Song Siting thought for a moment and seemed to have thought of something. However, she could not say anything. She thought for a moment and asked, “What happened? Back then, the Wang family suddenly retreated from City z. I also felt that it was quite strange. I don’t know what exactly happened. I just think that it doesn’t really make sense only because of what happened to Wang Qin.”

“Other than the Wang family, Qi Qiming is probably the only one who knows about this. Even Qi Lei might not know. I’ve tried to probe Qi Lei before, but he doesn’t know about this. But Qi Qiming’s current situation isn’t very optimistic. Whether he’ll regain consciousness or not is unknown. Sigh, speaking of which, Qi Lei’s story is quite heartbreaking. Based on our relationship with the Wang family, we should watch over him more.”

Dongfang Gan thought about it and naturally wanted to convince Song Siting.

Song Siting was silent for a moment before she finally took a breath. “I don’t have any prejudice against Qi Lei, it’s just that…”

“Since you don’t have any prejudice, then open your heart as a mother-in-law and accept him. I think he should be a pretty good son-in-law. This way, your relationship with your daughter will also be eased. We’re both old, you can’t control the children’s matters even if you want to. Why don’t you just save your worries and restrain yourself a little? Isn’t it better to seek harmony in the family?”

It was rare for Dongfang Gan to say this to Song Siting.

Even though Song Siting was a little unhappy, she could only nod in the end.

…

The husband and wife chatted for a while before they went to the kitchen to get busy with dinner.

They made a table full of good dishes.

It was Reunion Festival today. According to the usual practice, if the servants and the butler did not take leave, they would rush to join in the fun and have dinner around the table.

When Dongfang Liuyun and Qi Lei’s car slowly drove into Tanshan Villa district, it was already close to evening.

“Miss, President Qi!”

“Miss! Master!”

The butler and servant quickly came out to welcome them.

“M.m, move all the things in. My parents are at home, right?”

Dongfang Liuyun got out of the car and took the umbrella from the servant. As she walked to the driver’s seat, she held the umbrella for Qi Lei.

“Yes, Miss! President Gan and Madam are preparing dinner in the kitchen. Knowing that Miss loves seafood, President Gan asked the servant to prepare the freshest ingredients early in the morning.”

The butler instructed the servants to move the gifts into the house as he spoke.

Dongfang Liuyun nodded and let Qi Lei to take the umbrella. The couple walked home side by side.

Just as they entered the living room, they saw Dongfang Gan walking out of the kitchen. He was dressed in loose casual clothes and looked very energetic. When he saw his daughter and son-in-law, a smile appeared on his face—

“You’re back! Your mother cooked crabs. They’re quite fresh. Have a taste. Come, Qi Lei!”

Dongfang Gan carried a large bowl of freshly cooked crabs and placed it on the table at the side.

Qi Lei nodded modestly. Dongfang Liuyun, on the other hand, did not stand on ceremony at all. She pulled out a chair at the side and sat down. She wiped her hands, picked up one, and started peeling it—

“We’d have this every year. Where’s Lan Xiu? Isn’t he back yet? Leave some for him.”

As Dongfang Liuyun spoke, she handed the peeled crab to Qi Lei.

“There’s still some in the pot, but he called just now. He probably won’t be coming tonight. Let’s eat.”

Dongfang Gan’s tone contained a hint of a lament, but as he spoke, he looked at Qi Lei and explained, “Lan Xiu is a frequent visitor in the family. Every time there’s a festival, he would come over and take care of Liuyun like a big brother. I’m afraid you haven’t seen him before, right?”

“Father, you’re overthinking. I’ve met Lan Xiu before. He’s a pretty good person,” Qi Lei replied very modestly.

“You’ve met him?”

Dongfang Gan looked at Qi Lei in surprise. After a while, he glanced at Dongfang Liuyun who was beside. Dongfang Liuyun was currently focused on peeling crabs, as though she did not pay attention to their conversation.

Qi Lei nodded and subconsciously looked at Dongfang Liuyun.

After a moment’s thought, Qi Lei suddenly turned around and reached into his pocket—

“Excuse me…”

Before Qi Lei could finish, Dongfang Liuyun had already reached out and grabbed his wrist.

“Let me do it, Qi Lei!”

Hearing this voice, Qi Lei paused for a moment. When he turned to look at her, she had already stopped what she was doing. She took her phone and quickly dialed a number—

When the phone rang, Lan Xiu was still working overtime at the company.

It was a holiday, yet he had nowhere to go, so he could only work overtime at the office. He did not want to stay home alone and enjoy the so-called silence and loneliness.

Looking at the caller ID on the phone screen, Lan Xiu hesitated for a moment. Then, he could not help but take the phone and swipe the answer button—

“Hello, Liuyun?”

Lan Xiu’s voice was immediately transmitted over.

“Lan Xiu, dinner is almost ready. When you get back, we’ll have dinner. Are you trying to stop me? Or are you trying to stop someone else?”

Dongfang Liuyun’s cold voice was transmitted over, causing Lan Xiu to instantly frown. He was thinking of an explanation—

“Liuyun? Listen to me, I…”

“I don’t want to hear any explanation right now. This is the time for a reunion dinner. Don’t tell me you don’t have time. This isn’t your style, Lan Xiu.”

It was not hard to hear a hint of dissatisfaction in Dongfang Liuyun’s voice.

“You should come back immediately. Otherwise, the whole family will go hungry. That’s all for now.”

Before Lan Xiu could say anything, Dongfang Liuyun had already hung up.

Lan Xiu looked at the darkened phone screen and frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he could only pack up and take the car keys before leaving the office.
