Chapter 678: What Do You Possess To Be Competing With Me?
Ou Luoxi froze completely.
Ah Ye let out a sigh and said, “Luoxi, are you really dating G.o.ddess Xia? No wonder I always felt that there was something weird going on between you two. The relations.h.i.+p between you two never seemed normal.”
Ou Luoxi did not say anything.
Ah Ye continued, “Luoxi, I will tell you honestly now. Although news of your relations.h.i.+p has leaked, we won’t have a big problem on our part, but G.o.ddess Xia’s side is in a total mess. G.o.ddess Xia has always had a pure image. She is just like a fairy, the photos of her going into your villa were leaked this time, and everyone is gossiping about G.o.ddess Xia cohabiting with you before marriage, Our fans cannot accept the fact that you are taken already, and they have been attacking G.o.ddess Xia on a personal basis through many channels. Almost all comments are attacking G.o.ddess Xia alone.
“Based on what I know, G.o.dess Xia’s schedules and movie roles have all been paused now. There are many sponsors involved in financial disputes, and her team is in a complete mess right now.”
Ou Luoxi had a serious expression on his face. It was only at that moment that he understood why she’d left in a hurry that day.
Ah Ye stepped forward, and he handed some doc.u.ments over to Ou Luoxi. He lowered his volume to say, “Luoxi, have you two offended some people recently?”
“What do you mean?”
“These are the pictures of the acid attack in the airport. I sent someone to check on this fan. This fan is not our loyal fan. This fan only appeared after the news of your relations.h.i.+p had leaked. Everything seems to be very abnormal. The leak of the photos gave us a strike, and everyone is suspecting the authenticity of the photos and at the same time. Our fans have been fighting with G.o.ddess Xia’s fans. The moment war breaks out, we will be unable to do anything at all.”
Ou Luoxi looked at Ah Ye and said, “Are you saying that there might be someone behind all of this?”
Ah Ye nodded his head and said, “Yes, I suspect that there is someone behind the scenes controlling everything, and this person is using all of his resources to bring G.o.ddess Xia down.”
…
Ah Ye left, and Ou Luoxi changed into a casual outfit before putting on a cap. He jumped down from the window on the second floor and avoided the journalists who were waiting for him, then headed out.
With his skills, no matter how many journalists there were, he was able to get away smoothly.
After reaching the hospital, he went up to the 8th floor, and he headed towards the VIP suite.
After walking over to the bend, Ou Luoxi saw a familiar figure there. It was ….Ou Ze.
He stopped in his tracks.
Ou Ze was dressed smartly, and Xiao Li was standing by his side. She said, “President Ou, I really have to thank you so much today. If you had not appeared in time and sent security guards to shoo the journalists away, I don’t think Xiao Fu would have been able to get into the hospital.”
“Xiaofu is my fiancée. Taking care of her is what I should do. While this all happened, I was on a business trip overseas, and I came back today and found out that Xiaofu was in trouble. You don’t have to worry. With me around, no one would dare bully Xiaofu.”
Xiao Li’s facial expressions were a little stiff. After all, Xia Xiaofu’s relations.h.i.+p with Ou Luoxi has leaked…
Ou Ze was Ou Luoxi’s brother.
Ou Ze was very relaxed, and a bodyguard walked over to place a thermos cup into his hands. He politely nodded his head at Xiao Li as he said, “Xiaofu is probably hungry now. I have asked the aunty back home to cook some porridge for her. I will go inside now to feed her now.”
“Okay.” Xiao Li nodded her head quickly.
Ou Ze held the thermos and went into the hospital ward.
Xiao Li looked at the door of the hospital ward in front of her, and to be honest, she was biased towards Ou Ze. In her eyes, no matter how beautiful Ou Luoxi was, that did not translate into a meal on the table. In a woman’s life, the most important thing was to look for a strong man she could rely on, and in this aspect, Ou Ze was a hundred times stronger than Ou Luoxi.
Xiao Li turned around and headed straight in front of her.
After taking two steps, Xiao Li saw Ou Luoxi.
Xiao Li covered her mouth as she widened her eyes. She was nervous as she had a look around her surroundings, and she did not see any paparazzi around. She quickly ran forward before she lowered her volume to ask, “Ou Luoxi, why are you here?”
Ou Luoxi looked towards the hospital ward.
Xiao Li moved her body immediately to block Ou Luoxi’s sight. She placed both of her hands together and begged him, “Ou Luoxi, are you here to visit Xiaofu? Could your manager not have told you already? You shouldn’t come out right now. My Xiaofu is already in a big mess. Don’t make it worse.”
Ou Luoxi raised his eyebrows up and said, “Is her leg alright?”
“Ou Luoxi, Xiaofu does not need you to worry about her right now. You only need to distance yourself from her, and it will turn out well, or maybe you could be just like your Older Brother President Ou. He has great contacts and power that can help Xiaofu handle and suppress this matter. If you are unable to do so, if you can only secretly make your way here when Xiaofu is injured and ask if she is fine or not, then I think you do not need to appear before her. A man who is unable to protect his woman, what is the use?”
Ou Luoxi’s hands by his sides were silently clenched into fists.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps rang out in the air. “Xiao Li, Xiao Li…”
Xiao Li leaped up immediately, and there was a room by her side. She did not care what room it was at all, and she stretched her hand out to push Ou Luoxi inside as she said, “Shush, I am begging you not to say a word. If others see you here, it’s likely that more people will throw acid at Xiao Fu again.”
Ou Luoxi did not say anything, and he obediently stood inside.
Xiao Li closed the door, and at this moment, someone walked over. “Xiao Li, who were you speaking to you just now? I thought I saw someone…”
Xiao Li quickly stepped forward to pull the person away and said, “What person? You saw it wrong. Let’s go.”
…
This room was a room for rubbish, and there were 10 rubbish bins placed together with blood stained gauzes and some dirty liquid; it was extremely unsightly.
Ou Luoxi always liked to be clean, but he did not walk away. He stood in the small spot silently and did not utter a single word.
His fringe covered his eyes, but his fringe was unable to hide the sadness inside his eyes… He was helpless, and he could do nothing right now. He could only hide here and not let anyone realize that he was here.
Xiao Li was right. He could not help her, and he was unable to protect her. He could only add on to the mess.
After time pa.s.sed by minute by minute, after it was quiet outside, the sky was dark already. It was nine o’clock at night. Ou Luoxi stretched his hand out to open the door and walked out.
There was no one in the corridor, and he took one step after another as he walked over to the hospital ward.
He stretched his hand out to place it on the door handle. He wanted to go inside, but he stood in the rubbish room for a long time. Although he despised the scent on his body, he did not open the door.
He raised his head up and looked through the small gla.s.s window on the door. Ou Luoxi looked inside the room. There was a beautiful girl lying down on the clean white bed, and Xia Xiaofu closed her eyes as she slept. Her face was pale, and she looked sickly.
Ou Luoxi’s heart slowly became soft. The corners of his lips were curled up in a gentle arc, and his fair fingers climbed onto the small gla.s.s window as he slowly traced over her features.
Sorry…
He could only say sorry…
She once scolded him for being a coward, and he was really a coward.
In the books, they said that marriage was between two people that came from similar backgrounds that matched one another. He never dared to want her, and that was because he knew that he could not match up to her.
He’d only lived in civilization for the past three years. He did not even know what he wanted from this place. Other than filming dramas, he was only willing to stay inside the villa and be together with Little Fourth. Actually, he was not happy at all, and he felt that he was just like a zombie without a soul.
He’d never though about having her before. She had forced herself into his embrace, and he was entirely enchanted with her. He could not control it anymore. He really needed her.
What did he have to deserve her?
He was worth nothing.
At this moment, a voice rang out by his side. “Luoxi.”
Ou Ze was here.
Ou Luoxi slowly took his hand back. He did not look over at Ou Ze, but he was calm as he said, “It was you, right?”
“Yes.” Ou Ze nodded his head.
He was the mastermind behind it all.
“Why?”
“Hah….” Ou Ze laughed softly and said, “Luoxi, you asking me this question is really very funny. Xiaofu is my fiancée. She is your older sister-in-law, and you are the one who s.n.a.t.c.hed her away, but you are actually asking me why I am taking her?”
Ou Luoxi shook his head and said, “It was me who saved her three years ago.”
“But I knew her ever since I was three years old!” Ou Ze was extremely emotional as he growled, “Xiaofu is mine. I always thought that Xiaofu would be my wife. I was by her side for so many years, and just because you saved her coincidentally that one time, you want to s.n.a.t.c.h her away? Luoxi, aren’t you being too naive?”
Ou Luoxi raised his handsome eyebrows and did not do anything else.
Ou Ze controlled his anger before he stretched his hand out to pat Ou Luoxi’s shoulders as he said, “Luoxi, I told you a long time ago that there are some women who do not belong to you. Don’t daydream anymore. Did the matter this time help you understand what is truly going on? What could you offer Xiaofu? What do you possess to be competing with me?”
Ou Ze lifted his heels and left.
…
After one month, because of both parties’ silence, this matter slowly subsided. Although they still had to deal with the fallout, everyone had already started s.h.i.+fting their attention elsewhere.
Ou Luoxi attended a dinner banquet that day. He walked into the banquet hall and saw Xia Xiaofu at first glance. Xia Xiaofu was dressed in a beaded sleeveless dress. She held a gla.s.s of red wine in her hand as she conversed with a foreigner.
The bright lights shone down from the top of her head, and she was so beautiful that it made anyone fall in love with her.
Ou Luoxi was quiet as he looked at her, and after she finished speaking to the foreigner, she was about to turn around. Suddenly, a fat upper level staff member walked over and said, “G.o.ddess Xia.”
Xia Xiaofu did not have any good feelings for this person, but she curled her lips into a smile as she bantered with him. “President Wei.”
President Wei’s sly gaze was completely stuck to Xia Xiaofu’s body. He opened his arms out and wanted to hug her as he said, “G.o.ddess Xia, it has been so long since we last met. I missed you so much.”
Xia Xiaofu quickly turned her body to the side, and she was nimble as she averted his attempt. “President Wei, I have something else to attend to. I must make a move.”
Xia Xiaofu left.
“G.o.ddess Xia, wait a moment. I hear that you have too much time on your hands nowadays. There is no one looking for you to film advertis.e.m.e.nts or dramas, but I happen to have a famous period drama in my hands. I can make you the female lead in this drama.” President Wei spoke as he stretched his hand out to pat Xia Xiaofu’s b.u.t.t.
Xia Xiaofu’s facial expression changed drastically, and she was extremely cold as she looked at President Wei and said, “What do you want?”
“G.o.ddess Xia, don’t pretend anymore. You are in a slump right now. You’ve turned from a fairy into a…vicious woman. You are already not worth any money. Why do you want to be together with Ou Luoxi? Doesn’t he just have a handsome face? When you were together with Ou Ze, n.o.body dared to touch you, but after getting together with Ou Luoxi, there are now many who would dare to do so. G.o.ddess Xia, you’ve served both the Ou brothers. You must be very good in bed. How about this: accompany me to play around tonight, and I can guarantee that you will benefit.”
“Shameless!” Xia Xiaofu took the gla.s.s of red wine in her hand and splashed it directly onto President Wei’s face.
“You!” President Wei raised his hand up and was about to give Xia Xiaofu a slap.
Ou Luoxi, who was standing in the distance, had one of his hands in his pocket. He noticed that President Wei was about to strike her, and he quickly took his hand out of his pocket.
“Xiaofu.” Ou Ze walked over.
Ou Ze stretched his hands out and cupped Xia Xiaofu’s small shoulders before he intimately asked, “Xiaofu, I have searched for you for a long time now. It turns out that you’ve been chatting with President Wei here.”
As he spoke, Ou Ze looked over at President Wei and said, “President Wei, it has been such a long time since we last met.”
President Wei saw Ou Ze, and his expression changed drastically. He immediately looked embarra.s.sed and shy as he laughed awkwardly. “Haha, it turns out that it is President Ou. Ut has been such a long time.”
Ou Ze drank some red wine from the gla.s.s in his hand and said, “President Wei, what were you chatting about with my fiancée just now?”
“No, we were not talking about much.” President Wei stretched his hand out to wipe the beads of cold sweat from his forehead and said, “I only noticed that G.o.ddess Xia has been a little idle recently. I was looking for her to film a drama, but since Ou, President Ou is here, I will make a move.”
President Wei left quickly after he spoke.
Ou Luoxi watched what was going on, and his hand that was drooped by his side was placed back into his pocket. He felt helpless and mocked as he laughed at himself before he turned around to leave the banquet hall.
…
After President Wei left, Xia Xiaofu immediately shook off Ou Ze’s hand, and she took two steps away to create some distance as she asked, “Why are you here?”
“Xiaofu, I am here to protect you, of course.” Ou Ze raised his eyebrows up.
“Hmph.” Xia Xiaofu laughed coldly and said, “Are you really here to protect me? You should have arrived a long time ago, and you obviously knew that President Wei would have bad intentions towards me. If you truly wanted to protect me, would you have waited until President Wei insulted me and was about to give me a slap before appearing? Ou Ze, you are way too scheming.”
Ou Ze drank the remaining of the red wine in his gla.s.s down, he was relaxed as he looked over at Xia Xiaofu and said, “Xiaofu, I am scheming because you are not being obedient at all.”
Xia Xiaofu laughed and said, “Why, do you want to buy me? Over the past few days, you would appear by my side nonstop and would care and worry about me. You seem to really care about me. Hah, if you really care about me, then help me bury this issue. Don’t you have the power to do so? Are you planning to wait till I have no other choice but to come and beg you?”
Ou Ze noticed her intelligent manner. He was straight to the point as he said, “Xiaofu, let’s get married. As long as you are willing to get married to me, I will clean up this mess for you, and you can exit the entertainment industry and focus on being my Mrs Ou.”
“I am sorry. I am afraid that you would be disappointed.”
“Xiaofu…”
“Ou Ze, over the past few years, although I’ve disliked you for being so businesslike and calculative, at the very least, I thought that you were an honest person, but you’ve really disappointed me. Three years ago, the person that saved me was Ou Luoxi, and you actually pretended to be Ou Luoxi and cheated me of my feelings. You even convinced me to get engaged to you. You are a totally shameless and selfish person, and I would never marry you.”
“Xiaofu, don’t be silly anymore. If you get together with Ou Luoxi, what can Ou Luoxi give you? Ou Luoxi is a wolf child. He has not adjusted to this society yet. For example, how has he helped in this debacle? Could you actually give the rest of your life to a person like him?”
