Chapter 178 - Against Ouyang Tian
Chapter 178: Against Ouyang Tian
“Who is this gentleman? I don’t think I’ve seen you before.”
When Ouyang Tian spoke, no one dared to interrupt him even though they were curious as to why the old man had called out to these two alone.
However, at this moment, Ouyang Tian’s heart was not calm. He kept looking at Yan Kuan with an inquisitive gaze. Yes, it was too similar. However, that evil creature was clearly already dead. He had seen him burn to death with his own eyes. It was impossible for him to still be alive now. Moreover, how could the cowardly appearance that he had since he was young be the same person as this extraordinary man?
However, if it was not the case, that face and eyes were almost carved out of the same mold. Was there such a similar person in this world?
“Grandfather, he is the president of K-ONE that I have mentioned to you. Yan Kuan, Mr. Yan.”
When Ouyang Ning heard that her grandfather was actually concerned about Yan Kuan’s identity, she did not know why, but she felt a little nervous and a little excited.
Of all the granddaughters, she was the most doted on by her grandfather. She had also mentioned to the old man that she had taken a liking to the CEO of K-ONE. Now that her grandfather had called out to them, it was likely that her grandfather had also taken a liking to Yan Kuan’s extraordinariness.
“K-ONE? I see. It’s just that I did not expect President Yan to be so young.” After Ouyang Tian said these words without thinking, he did not speak anymore. Instead, his eyes stared blankly at Yan Kuan once again.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Ouyang Tian’s strange behavior. She was afraid that Yan Kuan would be recognized. She didn’t know why, but she once again turned her body slightly and used herself to block most of the people’s line of sight for Yan Kuan.
Then, she turned her head and said to everyone, “I wonder what Old Master Ouyang wants us to do? Since people have already left, it’s probably not appropriate for us to stay and watch the Ouyang family solve their internal problems!”
Shen Xiaoxiao was going all out tonight. Since everyone knew her identity, there was really no need to hide it anymore. It was better to reveal it all. This was also good. She was already that kind of person, so there was really no need to hide it anymore.
“Xiaoxiao, are you really Xiaoxiao? Are you really?”
This time, Gu Yuehua took Ouyang Tian’s place to speak. No one knew what had gotten into her, but she actually stopped dodging. Perhaps it was because most of the people had already left, so there was no need to dodge. Thus, she once again began to show her motherly heart in front of the Ouyang family.
However, no matter how she tried to disguise it, Shen Xiaoxiao already knew what kind of person she was. There was no need to put on such an act.
“Wipe away your tears. No one here is a fool like you, Mrs. Liu.”
Once Shen Xiaoxiao said the words ‘Mrs. Liu’, Gu Yuehua felt that she was going to die from anger. She had said that her daughter was a jinx who was born to cause trouble, and it was as she had expected.
“Miss Shen, you have such a big temper. After all, I am your biological mother, so why are you being so aggressive? Besides, you used Lin Weiwei’s identity to confuse everyone. I was too embarrassed to say it just now. By acting so arrogantly, I’m afraid that you have already planned to break off the engagement. You have deceived all of us.”
Ouyang Ning’s words made the Liu family and the Pei family glare angrily. They almost instantly ignited their flames of anger.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Ouyang Ning, who looked like she was watching a good show, and said to her:
“There’s no need for Miss Ouyang to worry about that. What I’m fighting for has no result. This is also a matter between my Shen family and the Pei family, and it doesn’t seem to have much to do with the Ouyang family. Moreover, the current situation seems to be that the Ouyang family has its own…”
“Xiaoxiao, you’re the one who put on this show tonight, right? You want to break off the engagement? I didn’t expect you to be so skilled after being abroad for more than ten years.”
Sure enough, how could Pei Dongguo not vent his anger tonight? Wasn’t he just waiting for it now?
He had deliberately put this matter on her head. This was to make the Ouyang family hate her and push all the blame onto her. Look at this. Didn’t the Ouyang family look at her with sharp eyes filled with scrutiny and dissatisfaction?
“Old Master Pei, you really know how to joke. If I really had such great abilities, would I have gone through so much trouble? Wouldn’t it be better to use this threat to force you to break off the engagement? Besides, do you think that the Ouyang family is my backyard? That I can enter as I please?”
“Are you thinking too highly of me, or are you looking down on the Ouyang family? However, that’s also true. If it weren’t for the Ouyang family being too lax in their management, these ugly articles wouldn’t have gotten out tonight. Am I right, Old Master Pei?”
This was the most sullen part of Pei Dongguo. If it weren’t for the scandal of his eldest daughter-in-law, Shen Xiaoxiao wouldn’t have been able to break off the engagement. However, this scandal happened to be seen by everyone, not just the engagement… It was likely that in the future, it would be difficult for a few children in the family to get married. He would not care about the other two bastards, but he had to consider Ah Xi’s marriage.
If he stayed tonight, he would need a word from the Ouyang family. How would the Ouyang family deal with this shameless woman? In any case, the Pei family would not want her. If everyone in the upper-class society saw it, then the Pei family would really become an old bastard.
“Such a sharp mouth. You are the daughter of the Shen family.”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at this old fox’s angry look and did not speak anymore. She smiled provocatively and turned her head, once again turning her gaze towards Ouyang Tian.
He was the one who had stopped them. As for what he was going to do, they did not know. It was because they did not know that her defenses were unprecedentedly heavy.
It was because she was afraid, not because she was afraid of the Ouyang family’s power, but because she was afraid that Yan Kuan’s identity, which had always been kept a secret, would be exposed by them. If he knew that Yan Kuan was a member of the Ouyang family, how would they treat him?
Would Yan Kuan be a match for them?
Shen Xiaoxiao did not know that she had unknowingly been completely worried for Yan Kuan.
Of course, Yan Kuan knew that she was so careful and pretended to be tough. It was precisely because of this that his cold heart could be considered to have received a trace of comfort in the Ouyang Mansion. A trace of calmness allowed him to calm down the heart that had already begun to stir.
He reached out and gently brought the little woman who was standing in front of him back to his side. He gently patted her back and gave her comfort.
Then, he formally, directly, and without any fear, met the pair of eyes that were filled with inquiry from the very beginning.
“Grandfather Ouyang is just like the legend. He leaves us far behind. I wonder why Grandfather Ouyang called us over?”
His voice was a little hoarse and a little low. He was clearly smiling, but his temperament was definitely not simple. Even all the men of the Ouyang family added together could not compare to his imposing manner.
Just being able to meet his eyes without moving an inch, this could also be considered a character.
Ouyang Tian thought very much in his heart as he looked at Yan Kuan and said…
