Chapter 898 How can I help you?
Dong Yuanyuan stood at the door, looking at Grandma Dong as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and said in a clear voice, "It was the two of us together, Grandma. Weren't you angry back then too? Didn't you scold Dong Mingming with me? Didn't you want to hit that cat with me?"
"Oh, and what about that sparrow that somehow flew in? Grandma, weren't you angry too? If you weren't angry, shouldn't you have stopped me? But you didn't."
Mrs. Dong's hand trembled slightly as she raised it halfway up the air and then slowly lowered it, asking with a wry smile, "What's the point of saying all this?"
She glanced at Dong Yuanyuan with a complicated expression, knowing in her heart: this is an ungrateful wretch, no matter how good you are to her, it's useless. At this point, instead of taking responsibility, all she could think about was how to shift the blame onto someone else.
Now that the military has intervened, can she shirk responsibility for this matter?
No!
Once Mingming wakes up, she and Yuanyuan will explain what happened. Both of them bear responsibility.
My son didn't talk to her in detail these past two days, he just got a brief understanding of her situation, and she's been in the hospital ever since.
After learning more about the situation, she now has no idea how her son will react.
As for how Lian Liying's biological mother will react?
At this point, Mrs. Dong didn't take it to heart at all.
As long as Lian Liying still wants to be a daughter-in-law of the Dong family, she will definitely not do anything to harm the Dong family and will definitely stand on their side.
At this moment, Dong Yuanyuan sensed that something was wrong in the room. She stamped her foot, rolled her eyes, and then quickly walked to the old lady's side, hugged her tightly, and said in a coquettish tone, "Grandma, I'm also afraid that my dad will get angry and hit me, but he is so filial to you. No matter what, he won't dare to say anything to you or scold or beat you. Grandma, you must help me when that happens."
Grandma Dong felt a chill in her heart. She truly loved this granddaughter, having raised her from a baby to adulthood and invested so much affection in her.
Often, you only feel the pain when the knife pierces your own skin.
When Dong Yuanyuan treated others this way, she didn't react at all, but when she treated herself this way, Grandma Dong felt very sad.
She didn't look at her most beloved granddaughter, but asked, word by word, "Where's Yuanyuan? How can I help you?"
Dong Yuanyuan is actually not young anymore.
Normally, someone like her would have been married long ago.
She comes from a well-off family and is quite attractive. Logically speaking, if she had agreed, things wouldn't have dragged on until now.
However, Dong Yuanyuan has very high standards and doesn't look up to ordinary people.
A few years ago, she took a fancy to someone who was an officer under her father.
But he already has a fiancée.
Her style of doing things is somewhat similar to Qin Ruixue's back then.
However, the other party was very alert and did not take the bait.
The Dong family thought they had done everything perfectly, and assumed that outsiders were unaware of Dong Yuanyuan's reputation.
But in fact, many people know what kind of personality Dong Yuanyuan has.
She has the complete arrogant and domineering style of a rich young lady.
Some people who want to climb the social ladder don't care about this.
Most men have a superior mentality. No matter how arrogant and domineering a woman is, she's just a woman. After she marries him, he'll have plenty of time to deal with her...
Besides, even if she can't fix things, she can still live a good life by using her family's resources.
Unfortunately, such a person failed to win the favor of Miss Dong Yuanyuan.
For various reasons, she broke up with him after dating for a while. She also had several arguments with the girls from the compound. On one occasion, the youngest daughter of Chief of Staff Xu angrily pointed at her and said, "You're the most annoying person I've ever met! I've never met anyone more annoying than you. Every day I hope you get married right now, preferably somewhere far away, and never come back to this compound for the rest of your life..."
Finally, Dong Yuanyuan got into a fight with Chief of Staff Xu's youngest daughter.
Then Dong Yuanyuan discovered that everyone seemed to want her to get married as soon as possible, no matter what kind of person she married, preferably someone far away.
It seems that Grandma was the same way.
She was a girl with an abnormal personality to begin with, and with such expectations from others, she became less anxious about finding a partner, and her standards became extremely high.
And that's how it got delayed until now.
Of course, another crucial reason is that her biological mother wasn't in a hurry either.
Her biological mother even told her that marriage is not a very important thing. For a girl, as long as she can live happily, what difference does it make whether she has a marriage or not?
Of course, to some extent, Dong Yuanyuan's mother's idea is not wrong.
But nowadays everyone values freedom in marriage and relationships.
If you can't find a suitable one, you can't just look for one randomly.
After all, it's a major event in a person's life.
As for jobs, in this day and age, let alone someone like Lao Dong who can arrange jobs for his children, even some factory workers can arrange jobs for their children.
If we follow the historical pattern, it will be more than ten years before workers are laid off and unable to find jobs.
But now that Lu Qiaoge is involved, the probability of such a thing happening in her city is very small.
On the other hand, Dong Yuanyuan now finds it easy to go to school, work, or find a partner.
But she refused and stayed at home.
Whether viewed by family or outsiders, Dong Yuanyuan lives life as she pleases; she truly makes the decisions about her own life.
So without any hesitation, she said to Grandma Dong, "Grandma, this is so simple, you can definitely help me. Although I didn't say anything, Grandma, please don't tell my dad what I said about Dong Mingming. Even if Dong Mingming tells my dad, you should insist that I didn't say anything and that Mingming was just spreading rumors! Grandma, you're helping me."
Grandma Dong felt a sharp pain in her chest.
Perhaps this is a case of reaping what you sow.
So she murmured again, "Yuanyuan, do you mean it's all Grandma's fault?"
Dong Yuanyuan said matter-of-factly, "Grandma, if the military really asks, just say it's your own business. You're my grandma, an elder, so what if you're disciplining your granddaughter? Even when we two argue, you don't take sides, you both scold each other. I'll say the same thing, and you'll say the same thing too, so whatever Dong Mingming says won't matter. Besides, that girl is timid, if we scare her a little, she won't dare to say anything reckless."
"Aren't you worried that your dad and aunt will complain about me?"
"Grandma, they all call you Mom. Even if they complain about you, they wouldn't dare to hit you. Grandma, please help me, otherwise my dad will definitely be angry with me."
