Chapter 67 - Jealousy, Surprise, Confession?
Chapter 67: Jealousy, Surprise, Confession?
“What did you say? Young Master Ouyang? The Young Master of the Ouyang family?” Liu Yumeng asked Shen Xiaoxiao in shock.
“Yes, they were all talking about it just now. They said that Ouyang Yu from the Business Department is the Seventh Young Master of the Ouyang family. What kind of society is this? And there are even side branches. But it shouldn’t be strange for the Ouyang family to have such a big family, right? Right? However, won’t so many people crowd around and suffocate Young Master Ouyang? Moreover, those women are so ugly, yet they actually fawn on him. I really don’t know what they are thinking.”
Shen Xiaoxiao played the role of a vain, envious, and shallow little girl very well. Her words also revealed all the information. Moreover, after she finished speaking, she held her mouth and acted as if she was very displeased, jealous, and unable to join others.
“The Seventh Young Master of the third house? Ouyang?”
When Liu Yumeng heard this name, her little heart pounded non-stop. This Ouyang was her classmate. He sat behind her and liked to sit behind her in class every time. He often peeked at her. So it was him. If she had known earlier… Why would he need to peek? She would have thrown herself into his arms long ago.
So what if it was Pei Li? The Young Master of the Ouyang family was a rare figure. As long as she could take down Ouyang Yu, the Liu family might be the master of this house. She would not have to envy her cousin Liu Yufei’s big house and luxurious car. The second son of the Ouyang family could also get it. Did you say he was a concubine’s child? This was the limited vision of outsiders. One had to know that in the Ouyang family, regardless of whether one was a legitimate child or a concubine’s child, as long as he was the Young Master of the Ouyang family, he would be the most sought after. Moreover, Old Master Ouyang was still around. This Ouyang Yu was the old master’s biological grandson. Whatever it was, it was enough.
How could Liu Yumeng know that Ouyang was not looking at her? It was because Liu Yumeng was 170 centimeters tall. Every time she chose a seat, she would sit in the most conspicuous position in the first row. Not only did she block people’s vision, but she also swayed left and right every time, showing off her body. How was he looking at her? He just wanted her to get as far away as possible.
However, Liu Yumeng, who was narcissistic, could not be looked at with the eyes of an ordinary person.
Seeing Liu Yumeng straighten her back and look like she was ready to enter the battlefield, Shen Xiaoxiao did not forget to add fuel to the fire.
“In my opinion, those girls are not as beautiful as you, and they are wearing shabby clothes. The dress you are wearing is really beautiful. It’s Alin’s new style, right? I saw it in a magazine. I didn’t expect it to look better on you than a model.”
Hearing this compliment, Liu Yumeng stuck out her chest even more proudly. Although this dress was not worn by Liu Yufei anymore, it still fit her better than Liu Yufei. Seeing the envious look on the poor student’s face, she said disdainfully, “Is that so? I think it’s average, but it can barely be worn. Well, excuse me. Bye bye.”
Seeing Liu Yumeng walking towards Ouyang Yu step by step in her high heels, Shen Xiaoxiao revealed a bloodthirsty smile. The show was about to begin.
…
On Liu Yufei and Pei Meimei’s side, they walked into their own circle as soon as they entered the ball. Naturally, they couldn’t see the ‘Commoner District’ where the Young Master of the Ouyang family was at the first moment.
Pei Meimei’s resentment towards Liu Yufei was getting deeper and deeper. In the past, she didn’t know, but now, when the same thing happened many times, she wouldn’t completely trust Liu Yufei anymore.
Just like this afternoon, she sent the photo to the group again. They all said that she looked very good in purple, but only Liu Yufei frowned and said with her fake face, “Meimei, wearing purple makes your skin look so dark.”
At that time, she carefully looked at Liu Yufei’s eyes. Sure enough, the surprise in her eyes could not fool anyone. Then, she looked at the purple dress on her body. What else could she not understand?
‘You said that I looked ugly, so I will wear this out. I want to see who is ugly.’
‘Sure enough, looking at her face, it was so dark that she couldn’t stop it. Do you think that just coaxing my brother is enough? Hmph, I won’t fall for your tricks.’
Pei Meimei studied art, and her family didn’t need her to study finance to do anything for the family. In this life, her fate was destined to be a life of luxury. Of course, the prerequisite was that the Pei family didn’t collapse.
She chose to paint, but it was also because it was an easy profession and she could freely draw. Although her paintings weren’t very good, it wasn’t a problem for her to barely graduate.
A family like theirs did not need you to have outstanding abilities. They had a strong family backing them up. They knew a few languages and knew how to socialize. It was enough that they could help their future husband. They only needed to know a few things.
Therefore, Pei Meimei’s life was much easier compared to Liu Yufei’s. When Liu Yufei was studying hard in business management, she was playing. When Liu Yufei was busy planning for herself, she was still playing.
Therefore, Liu Yufei would be jealous of her, jealous of her good fortune, jealous that she would even wish to be reincarnated as her. However, Liu Yufei was smart. Her jealousy would never be displayed in front of her eyes. She would conceal it very well. Moreover, she would put on a humble look and have a good relationship with Pei Meimei. She would go along with her and support her.
If it was not for the trip to the United States, Pei Meimei herself would not have discovered that this girl, whom she had always thought of as her best friend, was actually so scheming. Moreover, she always had a face that seemed to have been wronged. It made people think that she had been bullied.
Pei Meimei wasn’t stupid. It was impossible for a family like theirs to produce stupid people.
Liu Yufei’s heart was filled with the thought of marrying her brother. She didn’t even look at her own capabilities. However, thinking about the cooperation between the Liu family and the Pei family recently, she didn’t make things difficult for Liu Yufei on the surface.
But now, she actually heard such a funny thing in her WeChat moments. Of course, she had to say it out loud to mock Liu Yufei.
“I say, Liu Yufei, is the daughter of your Liu family really that amazing? She went to find someone else to express her love in such a public place. Isn’t this a little too infatuated?”
Liu Yufei was stunned. She was already in a bad mood today because she was wearing the same outfit as Pei Meimei. Now that she heard Pei Meimei’s weird words, she reflexively felt that Pei Meimei was probably looking for trouble again.
It had been almost a month since she returned from abroad. Not only did she fail to coax her, she even made this wretched girl worse. She was really annoying.
However, no matter how annoying she was, she still had to know how to act and pretend in front of Pei Li.
“Meimei, what are you talking about? Are you talking about my cousin, Yumeng? I’ve never seen her. What’s wrong with her?”
Pei Meimei smiled mockingly and gestured towards a corner that was surrounded by a human wall in the distance.
“Did you see that? She confessed her love to Young Master Ouyang in public. Why would Cousin Ouyang take a fancy to her? She’s really thick-skinned.”
“Young Master Ouyang?”
“Meimei, what are you talking about?”
When Pei Li heard Ouyang’s name, he immediately frowned and lectured Pei Meimei. They all knew the rules of the Ouyang family. Because they knew, they knew Ouyang Yu’s identity, but they still hid it for him.
However, Pei Li did not expect Meimei to actually say this at this time, which made him a little angry that Pei Meimei did not understand the bigger picture.
Pei Meimei knew what her brother was thinking and said to Pei Li, “Big Brother, I’m afraid that 10 minutes ago, Cousin Ouyang Yu’s identity was spread throughout the entire academy. You don’t have to help him hide it. Look at those people over there. They are all trying to curry favor with him.”
Pei Li turned his head to take a look, and his brows furrowed tightly. Did Ouyang Yu not know the rules of the Ouyang family? How did it get known to others?
Liu Yufei did not know what Pei Li and Pei Meimei were thinking, but right now, her heart was already in turmoil. The Ouyang family? They were talking about the Ouyang family? That person over there was the Young Master of the Ouyang family?
