Chapter 553: Chapter 553 Family Reunion_1
Hai Xiaotang found comfort in his promise and smiled as she leaned back into his arms, oblivious to the somber look in Dongfang Yu’s eyes.
“Let’s go home!” Dongfang Yu instructed the driver.
“Yes, young master.” The driver started the car and drove off.
Dongfang Yu, holding Hai Xiaotang in his arms, rested his chin on top of her head. He was quietly enjoying the warmth of being together at that moment.
He wondered how many more moments like this they have left…
Dongfang Yu and Hai Xiaotang had initially planned to return to their home, but en route, they received a call from He Meilian, asking them to drop by the Dongfang Mansion.
He Meilian mentioned that Dongfang Hen had arrived, and she wanted to gather everyone for a family reunion.
Dongfang Hen had already confirmed his relationship with He Meilian through DNA testing; he is indeed her son.
However, he no longer goes by the name Dongfang Hen.
Dongfang Zujie had given him a new name – Dongfang Yue. ‘Yue’, meaning to surpass the past and embrace a fresh future.
Dongfang Hen did not object and legally changed his name.
But he never acknowledged them, nor did he move in. He Meilian had to persuade him several times, and it wasn’t until recently that he finally agreed.
He Meilian was delighted and desired a family reunion.
Of course, this was great news, and Hai Xiaotang and Dongfang Yu rushed over immediately.
When they arrived, the servants had already prepared a sumptuous lunch.
Dongfang Yue prefers Western cuisine, hence He Meilian asked the servants to prepare a full French meal.
Everyone was worried that the atmosphere would be tense during the meal, but it turned out to be surprisingly natural.
It was all thanks to Dongfang Yue, who didn’t speak much and enjoyed his food elegantly as if he were savouring the world’s delights.
His hands moved with practiced grace as he sliced the steak into perfectly even pieces, almost as if it had been cut by a machine.
He Meilian laughed in surprise, “Yue, your knife skills are exceptional.”
“Hmm, I’ve practiced.” Dongfang Yue replied nonchalantly, giving off a casual vibe, as if nothing really mattered to him.
His attitude made it difficult to read him, but it was already a huge improvement that he was willing to interact with them.
“When do you plan to move back in? How about today?” Dongfang Zujie asked him.
Dongfang Yue glanced at them, a light smirk on his lips, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take over everything once I’m back?”
He Meilian quickly stepped in, “This is your home, Yue. There’s no need for you to ‘take over’. Everything here already belongs to you!”
“Oh, so I can take anything I want?” Dongfang Yue asked teasingly.
“Yes!” Dongfang Yu suddenly answered in a low tone, drawing surprised looks from everyone.
His statement implied that he was willing to give up everything, even his own share.
Dongfang Yue chuckled, “How generous.”
“You deserve it,” Dongfang Yu replied, still keeping his voice low.
“What about the CEO’s position? Can I have it?”
Dongfang Yu revealed a slight smile, “If you want it, it’s yours!”
Their expressions of surprise intensified – what was going on with Dongfang Yu?
It wasn’t that he shouldn’t be generous, or that he shouldn’t try to accommodate Dongfang Yue, but it just felt somewhat strange to them.
Dongfang Yue held his gaze before continuing with his meal.
To change the atmosphere, He Meilian quickly steered the conversation towards other topics…
After the meal, Dongfang Yue left abruptly, disregarding He Meilian’s pleas for him to stay.
Despite his nonchalance and seeming indifference towards everything, He Meilian knew – Dongfang Yue still bore resentment towards them.
