Chapter 692: Xiaofu, You Are Already Ou Ze’s Wife
“Xiaofu, are you mad?” Ou Ze was taken aback and said, “How can you send Uncle to the drug rehabilitation centre?”
“What else should I do then? Leave my father by my side and use drugs to sustain him? For a person who does drugs, forcefully weaning him off drugs is the only solution.” Xia Xiaofu’s eyes were sad as she spoke.
The doctor and nurses held Xia Bo back. The law enforcement officers brought Xia Bo away and said, “Miss Xia, thank you for cooperating with us.”
Xia Xiaofu shook her head and said, “I will have to trouble you all.”
As she spoke, she looked at Xia Bo and said, “Dad, I will go and visit you later. Mum is in the hospital. I must stay here to accompany Mum first.”
Xia Xiaofu had been so busy recently and she was drained. The matters in the company have not been settled yet, and her parents kept running into more and more trouble. She did not have the strength to continue.
The law enforcement officers left, and Xia Xiaofu walked over to her mother’s hospital ward. She stretched her hand out to cover her mother with a blanket.
“Xiaofu, you don’t have to be too worried, Aunty will wake up very soon. I will stay behind here to accompany you.” Ou Ze stretched his hand out to pat Xia Xiaofu’s shoulder.
Xia Xiaofu turned her body to the side and ducked away from him as she said, “Ou Ze, why would you be here?”
Ou Ze froze.
Xia Xiaofu raised her gaze to look at Ou Ze, and she was suspicious as she observed him. She said, “Not only do you pop up around me all the time, but you also appear very coincidentally. Forget appearing at Xia Corporation so often, but even when my parents are in trouble, you rushed over so qiuckly. Where did you get your news from? Or, are you keeping tabs on me?”
Ou Ze’s emotions froze. He did not expect Xia Xiaofu to have her guard up so easily, and she already suspected him so quickly.
At this moment, a melodious ringtone rang out in the air, and Xia Xiaofu’s phone rang again.
Xia Xiaofu lowered her gaze to have a look. It was Ou Luoxi.
The situation was too chaotic just now, and her tone was not very good. She’d actually chided him so harshly, and she believed that Ou Luoxi was a responsible man. He’d promised to take care of her parents, and he definitely would. There must be something that she did not know about her father taking drugs.
Xia Xiaofu wanted to answer the call; she wanted to have a good chat with him.
But her phone was s.n.a.t.c.hed away by a large hand.
Ou Ze stretched his hand out to s.n.a.t.c.h her phone away.
Xia Xiaofu quickly raised her eyebrows and was extremely unhappy as she said, “Ou Ze, what are you doing? Hand my phone back to me!”
Ou Ze switched her phone off before he curled the corners of his lips up into a smile as he said, “Xiaofu, since you do not believe me, no matter how hard I work, it would all be in vain. I will say it directly then: sign this doc.u.ment.”
Ou Ze handed her a piece of paper.
Xia Xiaofu took the paper in her hand as she glanced at it. It was a marriage agreement.
“Ou Ze, are you crazy? Who wants to marry you?” Xia Xiaofu crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it at Ou Ze’s face.
Ou Ze was unbothered, and he walked over to the chair in the hospital ward before slowly sitting down and saying, “Xiaofu, you should sign this marriage agreement. Could you not want your father, and mother?”
“What do you mean?”
Ou Ze had a smile on his face as he said, “Don’t you think that your mother has been sleeping for a long time?”
Xia Xiaofu’s entire heart sunk as she said, “What drug did you give my mother? Are the staff in this hospital on your side? Those law enforcement officers are your people too. Where did you send my dad?”
Ou Ze looked at Xia Xiaofu’s exquisite features, and he stretched his hand out to clap as he said, “Xiaofu, do you know what I like about you? I like you for being so intelligent.”
“Shameless, disgusting, pathetic! I will call the cops.You are doing something illegal right now!”
“Sure, you can go then. I will wait for you. The entire Xia family is a lost dog right now. Who do you think would believe you? Considering the time that will be spent on the lawsuit, your parents will have been long gone by its conclusion.”
Xia Xiaofu was so furious, and she trembled from head to toe.
She’d been too careless. This whole time, she’d spent all of her energy on the company, and she did not realize that she was stepping into Ou Ze’s trap at all.
Ou Ze’s smile got even more apparent as he said, “Xiaofu, I told you a long time ago that you are mine. No one would be able to s.n.a.t.c.h you away. Be obedient and sign this marriage agreement. I am anxious. Our wedding is in two days. I will make you the most beautiful bride on earth.”
“Dream on! Luoxi…”
“Don’t think about Luoxi anymore. He is in great trouble on his own.”
“What did you do to him?”
Ou Ze stood up slowly, and he walked over to Xia Xiaofu’s side. He was in a good mood as he stretched his hand out to touch her small face. Xia Xiaofu wanted to duck away immediately, but Ou Ze used force and turned her over. Xia Xiaofu’s face was pale as she was in great pain.
“Don’t worry about what happened to Ou Luoxi anymore. When you should appear, I will naturally allow you to appear. Be obedient and be my bride. This time, I do not have much patience. Think about your father and your mother. Is Ou Luoxi worth two lives?”
Ou Ze walked away with great strides.
The hospital door closed, and two bodyguards were standing guard outside.
Xia Xiaofu already knew that she was locked up. This entire hospital was made up Ou Ze’s staff. It would be hard for her to fly away, even with wings, and furthermore, she was unable to fly anyway. She did not know where Ou Ze brought her father. Her mother was drugged and hasn’t woken up yet. She knew Ou Ze. If she made Ou Ze anxious, he would really take her parents’ lives.
She was all alone, and n.o.body could help her. She was cut off from all contact with the outside world, and she could only rely on Ou Ze to survive.
How did things end up this way?
It was only then that Xia Xiaofu realized that over the past year, she’d been totally at others’ mercy, and Ou Ze had already long planned this trap for her to jump into.
Where was Luoxi right now?
Is he in any danger?
If he heard about her getting married to Ou Ze, how would he react?
Xia Xiaofu’s entire body slumped down onto the chair. What was she going to do now?
What could she do?
…
Ou Luoxi gave Xia Xiaofu a number of calls, but her phone was switched off. He was unable to get through.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and he wanted to explain it to her face to face.
During the afternoon, the helpers brought food inside. Ou Luoxi took the time when security was lax and snuck out, but the Zhou family’s mansion was very huge, and there were many paths. He spent a long amount of time but did not manage to get out.
“Luoxi, where are you going?” Zhou Yao suddenly walked over to face him.
Ou Luoxi was alarmed. Zhou Yao was here, so he was definitely unable to get away now.
“Second Older Brother, I want to go look for Xiaofu. She has some misunderstanding about me. I want to explain it to her,” Ou Luoxi confessed.
“Hah!” Zhou Yao laughed out loud before he walked over with his long legs. He took a photograph and slammed it on Ou Luoxi’s chest as he questioned Ou Luoxi coldly. “Coincidentally, I have some misunderstandings about you. Explain to me now: who is this person?”
The photograph fell onto the floor, and Ou Luoxi lowered his gaze towards it. The moment he glanced over, his face was pale.
This person was…. President Qu.
“Why, are you mute now? Say something!”
Ou Luoxi’s hands by his sides were kneaded into tight fists, and he pursed his thin lips until they were pale.
“He forced himself on you?”
Ou Ze shook his head slowly and said, “He did not…”
Zhou Yao had long guessed the answer. Luoxi had his own principles. He also had his own principle that he could not break, and this was the principle of decency!
But the moment Zhou Yao thought of a man who touched Luoxi’s body and kissed him as he liked, he was in a bad mood. He threw the newspapers in his hand onto Ou Luoxi’s face and said, “Have a look at this yourself. You tortured yourself without any limit, and what did you get in exchange? Xia Xiaofu and Ou Ze have announced their marriage, and they are getting married tomorrow.”
Ou Luoxi looked at the newspapers and saw a photograph of journalists surrounding Ou Ze and Xia Xiaofu., Ou Ze held onto Xia Xiaofu’s waist as he protected her in his embrace, and the bodyguards helped them block the cameras.
Ou Luoxi shook his head and said, “This is not true. Xiaofu would not get married to Ou Ze. I will go and see her right now. I want to ask her about this matter personally.”
Ou Luoxi started to walk.
But his wrist was pinned down by Zhou Yao as he said, “You are not allowed to leave. Eldest Brother’s private jet will come over to pick us up tomorrow. You have prolonged the treatment for your leg for half a year. You have to get surgery immediately, or your leg will be useless, and you will be disabled for the rest of your life then.”
“But Xiaofu…”
“But what? Didn’t you give her a call. What did she say then? No matter what reason she got married to Ou Ze for, we gave her a chance before, and she did not treasure it herself. If she were willing to give up on everything here to leave with you, we would help her settle everything. You thought that you gave up enough for her, but have a look at yourself now. You only have your life right now. We would definitely not allow you to lose your life because of her.”
“Xiaofu doesn’t know anything. I did not tell her anything.”
“That is because she does not value you enough.”
“That is not true. She was way too busy.”
“Those are all excuses!” Zhou Yao had a glance at Ou Luoxi’s right leg as he said, “Don’t say anything else. We cannot delay the flight to America tomorrow. The medical team in America is on standby right now. This is the only chance to treat your right leg, so you better go back to your own room and stay in there!”
Two soldiers brought Ou Luoxi away.
“Second Older Brother!” Ou Luoxi protested out loud.
Zhou Yao chose to ignore his protests. As a soldier, he had always been swift in his actions. He never dragged matters out, and in his opinion, nothing was more important than treating Ou Luoxi’s leg.
…
The next day, Ou Luoxi was dragged into the military jeep, and the jeep was un.o.bstructed as it drove over to the airport.
Inside the main lounge of the airport, Ou Luoxi raised his head up and saw the LCD screen on top. The screen was playing the live broadcast of Ou Ze and Xia Xiaofu’s grand wedding, and the venue of the wedding was just what he’d seen when he stood outside the church that day. It was full of fresh flowers and a pure white veil….
Zhou Yao turned his head and saw Ou Luoxi in a silly daze as he stared at the screen. He let out a sigh and shook his head. He wanted to walk over to him, but at this moment, his phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from Lu Shaoming.
Zhou Yao gave an indication with his gaze to his subordinates and ordered them to keep a close guard on Ou Luoxi, and he went over to one side to answer the call. “h.e.l.lo, Eldest Brother…”
Ou Luoxi’s peripheral vision saw Zhou Yao walking off into the distance, and he bent his waist down quickly. He used one hand to touch his injured right leg.
Two soldiers stepped forward immediately and concernedly asked, “Young Master Ou, what is wrong…”
They had yet to complete their sentence, and both soldiers were hit on the back of their necks. Ou Luoxi gave them a blow just like a bolt of lightning.
Both soldiers shut their eyes and collapsed onto the ground.
Ou Luoxi stretched his hand out to call Little Fourth. “Let’s go.”
Little Fourth followed Ou Luoxi silently.
…
Ou Luoxi ran onto the streets. He found a small provision shop and used the public payphone to dial Xia Xiaofu’s phone number.
At this moment, Xia Xiaofu was inside the makeup room. She sat down on the chair, and she wore a stunning sleeveless wedding dress. Her long hair was all done in an updo, and she looked like a bride waiting to get married.
Ou Ze stood behind her, and he was emotional as he satisfactorily said, “Xiaofu, you are really so beautiful.”
“Shameless! Ou Ze, you will not have an easy death!”
Ou Ze lowered his gaze to have a sniff of her hair as he said, “No matter how I die, you are my Mrs. Ou. Dying underneath a beautiful woman, I would be satisfied even if I became a ghost.”
“You!”
At this moment, a melodious ringtone rang — the phone in Ou Ze’s pocket.
Ou Ze took it out to have a look. It was Ou Luoxi.
“It is Luoxi, give it to me!” Xia Xiaofu stood up and raised her hand up to s.n.a.t.c.h the phone away.
Ou Ze raised his arm up and did not allow her to get it. He curled the corners of his lips up into a sly and cunning smile as he said, “Xiaofu, don’t be anxious. I will let you communicate with Luoxi.”
As he spoke, Ou Ze snapped his fingers, and the door of the makeup room was open. A bodyguard took a video and walked inside.
The video on a phone was handed over in front of Xia Xiaofu. Xia Xiaofu had a look, and her entire body was shaking.
At this moment, Xia Xiaofu’s mother was lying down on the hospital bed. There was a bodyguard standing by her side, and the bodyguard took a damp towel and pressed it against Xia Xiaofu’s mother’s face.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother was unable to breathe, and she started to use her hands and feet to struggle on the bed. She was crying out painfully. “Woo woo.”
“Ou Ze, what do you want?”
Ou Ze handed his phone over to Xia Xiaofu and said, “Wifey, you have to be obedient. Listen to me properly. Otherwise, I won’t have a mother-in-law anymore. Answer Luo Xi’s call now. Tell him you will be waiting for him at Huangpu Port.”
“What do you want to do to Luoxi?”
“You don’t have to worry about what I do to Luoxi. I will give you a choice now. Luoxi or your parents. Who are you going to choose?” Ou Ze tapped his phone and there was a video. The screen went over to the side of the river immediately, Xia Bo was thrown into the ocean while he was all tied up, and the water was already at Xia Bo’s neck.
Xia Xiaofu sobbed immediately, and her tears flowed down. Her parents’ lives were already at stake, but Luoxi was on the other end, and he was the man whom she loved deeply.
How should she choose?
Ou Ze did not give her too many chances, and he answered Ou Luoxi’s call before handing it over to Xia Xiaofu.
“h.e.l.lo, Xiaofu…” Ou Luoxi on the other end was surprised as his voice rang out clearly from the other end.
Xia Xiaofu used her small hand to cup her mouth and did not allow herself to cry out loud. “h.e.l.lo, Luoxi…”
“h.e.l.lo, Xiaofu, I heard that you are getting married to Older Brother. I know that it is not true. You must have your own grievances for doing so. Xiaofu, where are you right now? Leave with me then. Let’s leave T City together. Let’s go to a place where we will not be disturbed by anyone. You don’t have to worry. Your parents and the matters of Xia Corporation, I will hand them over to Eldest Brother and Second Older Brother.”
Xia Xiaofu’s eyes were flooding with tears. She had no more time. Her parents’ lives were in Ou Ze’s hands.
“Luoxi, okay. I will leave with you. I will…wait for you…at Huangpu…Port…”
“Okay, I will rush over immediately. Xiaofu, wait for me.”
“Ay, Luoxi…” Xia Xiaofu still wanted to continue speaking, but: Ding, ding. Ou Luoxi hung up already.
Xia Xiaofu could not hold back anymore. She choked up as she painfully sobbed out loud. She knew his abilities, and even if Ou Ze sent people to attack him, he should still be able to escape danger. She wanted to tell him to be careful, but she did not say anything at all.
Ou Ze stretched his hand out to pat her shoulders as he smiled and said, “Xiaofu, don’t cry anymore, you did very well.”
“It was not something I did on my own. You forced me…”
“Does it make any difference? Between your parents and Luoxi, you chose your parents. Xia Xiaofu, I gave you a chance. You gave up Ou Luoxi all on your own.”
“No, I didn’t.”
Ou Ze did not have any time to watch her cry, and he said, “Okay, Wifey. Our wedding ceremony is going to start now. Wipe your tears clean. We should go out now.”
