Chapter 164 - The Daughter of An Aristocratic Family
Chapter 164: The Daughter of An Aristocratic Family
In the eyes of Liu Yufei, a man as outstanding as Yan Kuan might initially feel great and outstanding. However, if she were to compare him to the Ouyang family, which was deeply rooted in China, Liu Yufei, who had lived in China since she was young, would choose the Ouyang family almost without hesitation.
Therefore, for Liu Yufei, a man of high quality like Yan Kuan could be played with and pulled under her skirt. However, in the end, the Ouyang family was the most suitable choice.
Of course, no one knew of Liu Yufei’s shameless choice. At this moment, Shen Xiaoxiao’s gaze was searching the entire hall. She only stopped when she saw Huang Yueyan who was standing in the corner with Pei Meimei.
Huang Yueyan seemed to have realized something when Shen Xiaoxiao looked over. She turned her head and met her gaze. She smiled and turned around as if nothing had happened. Shen Xiaoxiao immediately understood that Huang Yueyan was prepared.
Her heart suddenly began to look forward to it. There was even a hint of excitement. This feeling made Shen Xiaoxiao feel like laughing.
“Be careful. Your saliva is going to flow out.”
Shen Xiaoxiao reached out her hand and touched it. She turned her head and reacted. She stared at Yan Kuan. Yan Kuan looked at her with a funny expression and said, “If that woman wasn’t your type, I might have been jealous. I’ve never seen you look at me so passionately before.”
Jealous? Jealous of a woman? This Yan Kuan was really going back to his old self.
“President Yan, how have you been?”
A woman’s voice sounded from behind them. The smile that was hanging on Shen Xiaoxiao’s lips immediately disappeared. When she pulled Yan Kuan back, she saw her old enemy, the Fourth Young Miss of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Ning, also known as An Ning.
Hu Han’s figure was blocked by Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan, and he did not seem to have any intention of coming over to greet Ouyang Ning. He only paused for a moment before using their backs to walk further away.
Of course, Yan Kuan knew everything. He even deliberately moved to the side to block An Ning’s line of sight.
Shen Xiaoxiao did not know why An Ning suddenly made a sound and ran over, but this purpose must have something to do with Yan Kuan. An Ning had been scheming against Yan Kuan for a long time. Now that Shen Xiaoxiao knew that Yan Kuan was actually related to the Ouyang family… Then she was sure that Yan Kuan would never have any connection with An Ning.
Not only that, he probably hated her unscrupulous contact even more.
“Miss An, oh no, Yan, shouldn’t we call her Miss Ouyang? I don’t know if Miss An will appear as a special guest or Miss Ouyang, but I think it’s more appropriate to call her Miss Ouyang, right, Yan?”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s flirtatious words made Yan Kuan reach out and scratch her nose. He then cooperatively said to her, “Yes, we should call her Miss Ouyang. This is the Ouyang family’s main residence. Moreover, the Ouyang family’s banquet doesn’t need to invite people from the entertainment industry to entertain them. This is the rule of the aristocratic families.”
Yan Kuan’s words were a slap to the face. He spoke in a reserved manner, but to An Ning, it sounded like she was jumping up and down.
However, this was the Ouyang family. It was already bold of An Ning to take the initiative to greet Yan Kuan. If she was still entangled with these two people, then she would be the unlucky one and the one who would lose face.
However, based on her usual thinking pattern, An Ning would only think that Yan Kuan belittled her identity because of this damn detestable Lin Weiwei. It couldn’t have been Yan Kuan’s original intention.
In An Ning’s heart, a man like Yan Kuan wouldn’t mind her identity in an open place like overseas. Especially since her identity was a great tool for making money in the eyes of businessmen, he wouldn’t mind even more. Now that he said it like this, it was completely instigated by that damn woman. Therefore, her hostility was always directed at Shen Xiaoxiao, not the man next to her.
“Yan, everyone from our family will be here tonight. Even my grandfather will be here later. If you need me, I can introduce you. I still have some matters to attend to. Please enjoy yourselves.”
This time, An Ning did not stand up to them. She swallowed her anger. Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the departing An Ning. Her bright yellow hand-embroidered cheongsam was extremely gorgeous. With her exquisite jewelry, it had to be said… She was indeed one of the most eye-catching person tonight.
In addition to her neither servile nor overbearing appearance, even Shen Xiaoxiao could not compare to her. The bearing and magnificence of a young lady from an aristocratic family were vividly displayed at this moment.
“The number one family in China. This girl who was taught managed to maintain the bearing and magnificence that a young lady from an aristocratic family should have at a critical moment.”
Upon hearing Shen Xiaoxiao’s praise, Yan Kuan’s expression changed slightly. Shen Xiaoxiao even saw Yan Kuan’s indistinct gaze fall on the figure who had walked away.
She did not know why, but her heart suddenly felt stifled. She felt that his current appearance was an eyesore, and she felt very uncomfortable.
“It’s still not too late to catch up. Didn’t she want to introduce you to the Old Master of the Ouyang family?”
Yan Kuan could smell the jealousy. He retracted his gaze from An Ning and looked at Shen Xiaoxiao.
“She wants to introduce me so I have to hurry up and climb up? He’s just a dying old man. Why would I want to see him? Besides, this place is full of a sour smell. If I follow her, I can forget about tonight’s matter. This jealousy smell is too sour.”
Although he said so, Shen Xiaoxiao still felt uncomfortable. From the beginning, she had felt that Yan Kuan’s attitude towards An Ning was a little strange. Now, it seemed that it was indeed so. Yan Kuan himself said that he was a member of the Ouyang family… Then, since An Ning was also a member of the Ouyang family, what was the relationship between the two?
And which one of Ouyang Tian’s seven sons was Yan Kuan the ‘illegitimate child’ or the abandoned child of?
Shen Xiaoxiao was a little depressed for a moment. She did not speak anymore, nor did she continue to respond to Yan Kuan’s words. Coincidentally, the main character of the night, Old Master Ouyang Tang, arrived at the scene with the support of his eldest son, Ouyang Jinguo, and the next family head, Ouyang Jincheng.
The commotion and solemnity at the door caused Shen Xiaoxiao to turn her head to look at the mysterious Ouyang family’s only two old men. He was also the younger brother, Ouyang Tang, who had a close relationship with the family head, Ouyang Tianyi.
At 75 years old, Ouyang Tang looked strong and vigorous, full of energy. He walked steadily without even using his walking stick. It seemed that the Ouyang family’s pampered life had made this old man extremely comfortable.
“This old man’s body is really strong,” Shen Xiaoxiao said with some emotion. The Ouyang family was so prosperous and deep-rooted. It shouldn’t be a problem for such a pampered old man to live safely until 100.
“Strong? It’s better to be tough. If he’s not tough, I’m afraid he won’t be able to withstand the great stimulation.”
After Yan Kuan entered the Ouyang Hall, not only did he speak, but his aura also dropped by a lot. Shen Xiaoxiao looked at him like this and slowly moved closer so that he could feel her warmth… Yan Kuan looked at this girl who was like a child and said with amusement:
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’m just stating the facts. Because tonight, not only do you have plans, but there are also people here who have other plans. If he isn’t healthy, I’m afraid he won’t be able to endure the good show later.”
