Dongfang Mei stared blankly at Dongfang Jun. She frowned and said, "I went out with Ah Mo this noon. I went to the hospital to see Mu Xue. Ah Mo went to the office because DFM Company's president, Rodger, is here. He's probably still at the office."
"Right. Why is Rodger here in Binhai?" Dongfang Jun asked with a frown. "Didn't Second Uncle go to America to collect money from him? Why? Wasn't he able to collect the money?"
"Your second uncle's trip to America was unsuccessful, because when he arrived in America, Rodger had already gone to Italy. By the time your second uncle arrived in Italy, Rodger was already here in Binhai. Your second uncle had to return. He just arrived yesterday," Dongfang Mei said.
"Okay, Mom. If Rodger is here and Big Brother is with him, then so be it. But you have to call Big Brother. Mu Ru is still locked in the basement," Dongfang Jun said anxiously. He didn't want to discuss company affairs with his mother. He was worried about Mu Ru being locked in the cellar for more than a day.
Dongfang Mei looked at her unruly son and sighed. "Ah Jun, you're already twenty-one years old. You should show interest in Dongfang Group's affairs. Rodger is a big client of Dongfang Group—"
"Mom, I'm still studying. Why should I pay attention to the company's affairs?" Dongfang Jun snapped back. "Besides, Dongfang Group belongs to Big Brother. What does it have to do with me? I haven't even graduated yet."
"Useless," Dongfang Mei muttered. She then snorted coldly and said, "Your eldest brother, Dongfang Mo, is suffering from severe skin cancer. How long does he have to live?"
"The Dongfang family can still rely on Second Brother to handle company affairs," Dongfang Jun answered coldly. He was unable to grasp what his mother meant. He only wanted to show her that he wasn't interested in the company at all.
"Your second brother was in a comatose for ten years. Look at his behavior! He is so carefree and irresponsible. Sometime ago, your eldest brother went to the United States for his checkup, and he asked your second brother to represent the Dongfang Group. Your second brother ended up losing two hundred million in half a month. Your eldest brother was so angry, and that is why he rarely asks Dongfang Yu to get involved in company affairs."
"Mom, what you're trying to say is..." Dongfang Jun paused for a moment, then looked at his mother in a daze. After a while, he realized what his mother was trying to say. "Mom, do you want me to inherit the property of the Dongfang family?"
Dongfang Mei rolled her eyes at him and poked his forehead with her hand. "I keep calling you stupid, but you always think you're smart enough. What do you think?"
"But this doesn't conform to the rules of the Dongfang family," Dongfang Jun said as he shook his head. "Mom, even if Second Brother is considered useless, he will have a son in the future. His son is the true heir of the Dongfang family."
"It is unknown whether Dongfang Yu will have a son in the future. Now is not the time to discuss it with you," Dongfang Mei said coldly. "Ah Jun, what you need to do now is to go to the United States and pursue your doctorate degree. When you come back in a few years, prepare to take over the Dongfang Group. Don't get involved in other affairs, especially those concerning your eldest brother and second brother."
"But, Mom, Eldest Sister-in-Law is in the basement. I'm worried for her," Dongfang Jun said again. However, Dongfang Mei was not interested. She had already turned around and left.
