Chapter 163 - The Illegitimate Son of the Ouyang Family
Chapter 163: The Illegitimate Son of the Ouyang Family
Hearing Yan Kuan’s words, Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart was surprisingly calm. Perhaps she had always had such a bold guess, and when this matter was confirmed, she felt as if a huge rock had fallen to the ground.
As expected!
However, looking at this man’s calm and unperturbed expression, she did not have any confidence in her heart. She was also more afraid of this Yan Kuan. This Yan Kuan looked even more terrifying than his usual arrogance and disdain. It also made people avoid him even more. It was as if he was the devil who had returned from hell and was tidying up everything, waiting for his rampage and revenge.
“Don’t be afraid. I won’t kill anyone, and I won’t go on a killing spree. You don’t have to worry about that small gaze of yours. You don’t have to be afraid of your man.”
The words that Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to comfort him with were stuck in her throat. Comfort. She really did not know how to comfort him. However, she could definitely give him a warm hug.
She crossed her arms to protect the unusually cold person. Her heart actually began to slowly turn from calm to pain. Her heart ached.
In the banquet hall that was separated by a wall. Listening to the occasional laughter and joy coming from inside, her heart was a little tired and also a little depressed. She even had the illusion that she wanted to pull this man away and leave this place.
But she knew that she could not be so willful tonight.
“Do you know the identity of the CEO of Tangge Hotel, Hu Han? He is also a member of the Ouyang family. He is Ouyang Jinchuan’s illegitimate child.”
This news shocked Yan Kuan. That Hu Han was actually the illegitimate child of Ouyang Jinchuan, the third son of Ouyang Tian? This was really strange.
Hu Han was almost 30 years old. Moreover, according to his information, both of his parents died and he grew up abroad. He had investigated and there was no doubt that it was fake. However, if Hu Han was really Ouyang Jinchuan’s illegitimate child, then it must have been 30 years ago.
“How did you get your news?”
“Don’t forget, Third Uncle is Chinese, after all. We don’t know what happened decades ago, but Third Uncle might know.”
“That’s true. That Shen Jinwen is quite capable, but his talent doesn’t lie in business. Otherwise, your Shen family wouldn’t be like this.”
After Yan Kuan said this thoughtfully, he tapped his watch a few times and seemed to issue a series of instructions. Shen Xiaoxiao saw that his expression had returned to normal and there was nothing wrong with him except that he was a little cold, so she said:
“Then let’s go in. Isn’t that Hu Han also coming tonight? And that girlfriend of his, she’s not an easy person to deal with. I’m afraid that she has long been in contact with the Ouyang family.”
This news came out one after another. Yan Kuan gently pulled Shen Xiaoxiao’s left hand and kissed it gently. He pulled her into the battlefield that belonged to them tonight.
The waiters and servants who walked past could be seen in this old and antique mansion.
The white shirt looked clean and neat, but Shen Xiaoxiao knew that the hearts of these people could not be wiped clean with this white cloth no matter what.
Anyone who came to the banquet tonight more or less looked more formal and more retro in their clothes.
A room full of qipao with different costumes made Shen Xiaoxiao look sideways. “Is this a group transmigration tonight? We’ve hit the jackpot.”
Yan Kuan smiled faintly and did not say anything. However, when he looked at the hall, he saw that there were quite a number of people from the Ouyang family. Be it An Ning or Ouyang Yu, even the eldest son of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Jinming, had arrived.
Yan Kuan could not describe what he felt in his heart. He just walked into the hall with a somewhat depressed expression.
The ancient paintings on the wall, the antique vases placed at the corner of the wall, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, all of these things were luxurious and envied, but in Yan Kuan’s eyes, they seemed so dirty and laughable.
“President Yan, you’re finally here. I was just talking about you with a few CEOs. Is this the President of KN Group, Miss Lin Weiwei?”
Hu Han was the first person to greet them when they entered the hall. However, Shen Xiaoxiao did not expect that Hu Han would announce her identity out loud when they met last time.
It seemed that Hu Han was also a person that had the opportunity to specialize in the business world. The business world was like a battlefield. The moment they met, Shen Xiaoxiao and the others were taken advantage of before they could say anything. The hand that held Yan Kuan’s wrist was a little stiff. She was actually not suited for such a life of scheming and guessing. Sure enough, Yan Kuan was right. She was still too young and too naïve.
Yan Kuan felt the changes on her arm. He patted her arm in a soothing manner and looked at Hu Han. He casually and nonchalantly said, “President Hu came quite early. This Ouyang Mansion is so gorgeous. We were attracted by the quaint and elegant style of this place when we just arrived. We couldn’t help but linger for a while longer.”
“I heard that Mr. Hu is an old friend of the Ouyang family. I’m afraid he’s already very familiar with every blade of grass and every tree here!”
Yan Kuan’s words were too direct. Even Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t expect Yan Kuan to actually say these words so directly to Hu Han. Hu Han would probably be suspicious, right?
Sure enough, Hu Han’s face instantly turned pale, but he immediately returned to normal. He giggled as he said to Yan Kuan, “If I really had an old relationship with the Ouyang family, why would I have to travel so hard in the Capital? I’m afraid that President Yan has misunderstood!”
However, seeing Hu Han’s forced explanation, Shen Xiaoxiao knew that Yan Kuan was testing Hu Han to see if he knew his identity.
Unfortunately, no matter how well Hu Han hid his identity, he could not escape Yan Kuan’s eyes. She only heard Yan Kuan say:
“Oh? Was it a misunderstanding? Then I must have heard wrongly. A few days ago, when we were discussing business outside, I accidentally bumped into Miss Hannah and the Ouyang family having a lively chat. I did not disturb them and thought that you two were quite familiar with each other.”
Hu Han’s expression could not hold it in anymore. He raised his head and looked at Yan Kuan carefully and seriously. However, Yan Kuan still had the same half-smile and confident look.
After a long while, Hu Han said to Yan Kuan, “I owe President Yan a favor. Let me bring you two to meet some old friends!”
Hu Han took the lead and left. Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Yan Kuan and asked doubtfully, “Why did you do it on purpose?”
“On purpose? I did it on purpose because at least I still like Hu Han.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was speechless when she heard Yan Kuan’s words. Was it because he liked Hu Han? She shook her head. She could not figure it out. However, since she had already told Yan Kuan about Hu Han’s identity, Shen Xiaoxiao did not need to do anything else. The highlight of the night was not here.
Yan Kuan and Shen Xiaoxiao, these two beautiful people, naturally attracted a lot of attention when they arrived at the banquet hall.
Some people who had seen Lin Weiwei before were even more curious about the man who could accompany the CEO of KN Group. They were rather peaceful. When they saw the two of them walking into the banquet hall hand in hand, their expressions became very ugly.
Ouyang Feng was really useless. He had long taken a fancy to that woman, yet he had not made a move after such a long time. These idiots were not as quick as her to make a move.
Liu Yufei and Pei Li naturally saw the two of them enter the place hand in hand.
Liu Yufei now had a higher goal. When she looked at Yan Kuan, she was not as anxious and jealous as before.
If the woman beside Yan Kuan was someone else, she might not have felt anything. However, it was that Lin Weiwei. She was extremely angry.
She looked at Pei Li. His eyes were almost glued to her body. Did he really think she was a fool? Even if she did not have to marry Pei Li in the future, Pei Li was still her man. It was not easy for him to get rid of her.
