Chapter 246: Ouyang Le’s Persuasion
“Grandfather, don’t worry. I know what to do. Don’t worry.”
Ouyang Le walked out of the study, feeling a little sick of it. This old man was really biased. Even at this time, he still hoped that she could win over leniency for An Ning?
Based on what?
Based on what?
Since she was young, as long as An Ning liked something, she could easily get it from her? Was it because she was the only daughter left behind by that strange aunt? Therefore, the position of the eldest daughter of the Ouyang family had to be given to her. The prestigious and ill.u.s.trious status of the Ouyang family had to be given to her. Since she was young, everything she loved had to be given to her unconditionally. Now, she even had to give up the object of the marriage?
She had thought that it was really the family that wanted her to have a marriage alliance. She did not expect that she was only the one who made the wedding dress for An Ning. What right did she have?
It seemed that she could only discuss it with her aunt. Such a burden really thought that she was some kind of n.o.ble figure.
As for who would be the one to marry into the family in the end, this was not up to the Ouyang family. She was overseas, so she was even clearer about K-ONE’s reputation. This Yan Kuan was not someone who would be easily fooled, let alone find a wife for someone else.
Ouyang Le walked directly to the main house. Just then, she saw An Ning walking out of the main house. The tears on her face had not been wiped clean yet. It seemed that she had been tormented by her aunt again.
She deserved it. If she could still pity this woman before, then now, hmph, she deserved it.
“Big Sister.”
The Ouyang family’s rules were the clearest between the eldest, the youngest, and the concubine. Therefore, even if she was unwilling, An Ning did not dare to be the least bit unwilling when she saw Ouyang Le. She could only nod and greet her.
“It’s Fourth Sister. What’s wrong? Your tears haven’t dried yet. Fourth Sister, how come you still don’t know manners after learning for so many years? No matter how much you’ve suffered, you can’t lose a single bit of your manners.”
“No wonder you were able to create such a big mess during Ah Li’s ancestor recognition ceremony. An Ning, you’re already 24 years old. At this age, it’s time for you to contribute to the family. These days, you should properly practice your rules at home. Otherwise, when you get married, people will say that the girls of the Ouyang family don’t know the rules.”
“As for your dream of becoming a star, it can end here. Anyway, it’s only a matter of time. You’ve caused too much trouble, and that’s enough.”
Ouyang Le’s words made An Ning’s face red and white. In the end, it was to prove one thing. She, Ouyang Ning, was uncultured and unsophisticated. She was not worthy of being the daughter of the Ouyang family.
After Ouyang Le said this, she did not even look at An Ning’s changed expression. She walked straight to the main hall of the main room.
As the mistress of the house and in her own courtyard, Huo Wanting naturally knew what was happening outside at the first moment. She would not feel unfair for An Ning. In fact, Ouyang Le was the one who was close to her.
Because the second son only had two daughters, after the death of his second sister-in-law in the early years, the second brother did not care about anything else. He did not care about his daughter, did not care about anything in the Ouyang family. He was only engrossed in his research career, so… Ouyang Le and Ouyang An were both personally raised by her.
However, Ouyang An was also blessed. She was originally weak. After the death of her biological mother, when she was barely eight years old, her body became even worse. She died in less than two years.
Therefore, Ouyang Le was the only daughter of the Ouyang family’s second son. Ouyang Le was such a smart person, so he naturally knew who he had to rely on in the future.
Therefore, when Huo Wanting showed her kindness, Ouyang Le immediately hugged her thigh. From then on, the second son and the eldest son were one.
“Lele, come quickly. First Aunt asked someone to make your favorite almond milk for you. Try it.”
Ouyang Le smiled as she took the scalding dessert from her hands. Of course, she knew that Huo Wanting was not simply treating her well. She just wanted to find an obedient helper for her three sons.
She was not a fool. She knew that this was a matter of mutual help and mutual benefit. Therefore, Ouyang Le knew that Huo Wanting naturally knew that Ouyang Le wanted to borrow the power of the family head to support her.
“Aunt, Grandpa actually asked me to pave the way for An Ning and let her marry Yan Kuan.”
Huo Wanting was stunned. The old man actually had this idea? She thought that the old man wanted Ouyang Le to marry Yan Kuan.
“What kind of ident.i.ty does this Yan Kuan have? Why does the old man have to rope in Yan Kuan?”
“Aunt may not be clear about it in the country all year round, but I know it abroad. In the eyes of foreigners, the K-ONE is just like our Ouyang family abroad. You can imagine how much influence this has.”
“So powerful?”
“Yes, it is indeed very powerful. I heard that Yan Kuan has some connections with the Black Emperor of the Dark Empire, so no one dares to provoke the black and white factions.”
“No wonder, no wonder the Old Master has to have him. Lele, what are your plans? You are not young anymore. You can’t just do it for others. You have to worry about your own matters.”
Ouyang Le’s brows twitched. Huo Wanting knew what she meant. She immediately said, “I know. Thank you for your concern, Aunt. Although the marriage must be of equal status, it also depends on whether the two of them are compatible.”
“Mm, it’s good that Lele understands.”
It was good to talk to smart people. Huo Wanting only needed to mention Ouyang Le to know what to choose.
Ouyang Le herself was very smart and her methods were extraordinary. After the two of them discussed this matter, Ouyang Le told Huo Wanting another matter very seriously. Huo Wanting was dumbfounded when she heard it.
“Lele, your grandfather wants to help that Pei Li fight for the position of the family head with your three brothers. How can you let us rope him in?”
Huo Wanting heard Ouyang Le asking her to work with Pei Li, and she was unwilling. Her tone was even worse.
However, Ouyang Le was already prepared. She had already thought of a way to persuade Huo Wanting, this smart woman, to make the right choice. Working with Pei Li was a risky move and also a good move.
For the other Ouyang family members, Pei Li’s ident.i.ty might not be enough for them to believe that Pei Li was qualified to compete for the position of family head of the Ouyang family, and Pei Li himself did not have any connections. It would be difficult for him to continue in the Ouyang family.
However, Ouyang Le was smart enough to know of Ouyang Tian’s plans. Therefore, Ouyang Tian now wanted to see the Ouyang family working together for a great cause, rather than fighting among themselves. She was the one who saw this the most clearly in the entire Ouyang family. When the Ouyang family’s power was complete, who would be chosen as the successor of this position would then depend on their own abilities.
Pei Li had no foundation at all. Even if he had a certain foundation at that time, could he be compared to the Big House? Could he be compared to his three older brothers? Therefore, this deal was very worthwhile. Moreover, it would allow the old man to see the Big House’s magnanimity and add a lot of points to the party.
“Aunt, this matter should be thought of like this…”
…
Shen Xiaoxiao carried the soup box that had been prepared and arrived at the entrance of the base’s ward. However, just as she placed her hand on the doork.n.o.b, she heard a charming girl’s laughter from within the door. Her heart instantly tensed up…
