81 Chapter 81, the mistress of the Dongfang family

Dongfang Mo cut her off and said, "I think you misunderstand. Because of the marriage arrangements made between Nangong Xun and the Xi family, the Dongfang family has been implicated. Therefore, both the Xi Empire and the Dongfang Corporation are facing all sorts of difficulties. I've long heard that you are extremely intelligent. You were born with wealth and fortune, and now you have become the second madam of the Dongfang family. Ah Yu has some bad habits, but of course, this is all because he had spent two years abroad and is quite liberated. Now that you are his wife, you should be thinking about how to be a virtuous wife and not thinking about coming up with more money to go back to the Xi family. Don't you think so?" Dongfang Mo was cold and harsh, and his words conveyed no emotions.

Xi Muxue's face flushed red in embarrassment. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide in a corner. Actually, she only wanted to get twenty million so she could take pride in the fact that she had more money than Mu Ru. However, it was too late. In the eyes of Dongfang Mo, she was an insensible and fickle woman.

Xi Muxue was silent. Dongfang Mo looked at Dongfang Mei and said, "Aunt Gu, I'm going to America for chemotherapy. It'll probably take a month or two. I'll leave the house to you and Mu Ru. Mu Ru is young and has a lot to learn. You have to teach her how to be the mistress of the Dongfang family."

"Yes," Dongfang Mei immediately agreed with a smile on her face. She then said, "You have been married for a month. I would have handed over the position of mistress to Mu Ru a long time ago, but—"

Dongfang Mo interrupted her. He said, "Hey, Aunt Gu, didn't I tell you that she's still too young? Let's wait until she learns more. Then, he looked at Xi Muxue, who was still lowering her head. "Also, while I'm away, I will assign Ah Yu to temporarily replace me as the CEO of the Dongfang Group. Ah Yu has a carefree personality and can't really control himself. Second Madam, you have to keep watch."

"I understand." Xi Muxue did not dare to raise her head to look at Dongfang Mo, but she was obviously filled with joy because of the fact that Dongfang Yu would temporarily replace Dongfang Mo as the CEO of the Dongfang Corporation. That meant that, in the future, the Dongfang Corporation would fall into Dongfang Yu's hands, not with Dongfang Jun.

After Dongfang Mo had settled everything, Uncle Liu wheeled him out of the living room. All the three women in the living room were smiling, but in reality, they all had ulterior motives.

Mu Ru felt that she was the most unlucky because she had to learn to be the mistress of the Dongfang family. From what she understood and from what Dongfang Mei said, she would be managing the household soon, and in Dongfang Mei's absence, she would be her replacement.

However, she was not interested in that role. She was just a student, and she did not feel like she had the ability to manage such a large courtyard. There were so many servants to supervise and chores to assign and so many random things to oversee.

However, Dongfang Mei did not care whether she wanted to manage the household or not. Dongfang Mei just returned with two ledgers, a notebook, and a book on how to be a good housekeeper, and she handed everything to Mu Ru. Then, she smiled and said, "I'm going to Hong Kong and Macau for a few days. Mu Ru, I'll leave the household affairs to you."

Mu Ru really wanted to cry but couldn't. It was such a large household. Dongfang Yingwu and Dongfang Mo had already left. Dongfang Mei had gone to Hong Kong and Macau, leaving only her and Xi Muxue with her two brothers-in-law, Dongfang Yu and Dongfang Jun.
