Chapter 299: Engagement
Pei Dongguo felt very uncomfortable. What did this in-laws mean? They actually wanted them to recognize Pei Meimei!
Of course, it wasn’t that their family couldn’t tolerate a daughter. They could use this marriage to help their Pei family. It could also be considered as repaying their family’s kindness for raising her all these years.
But what did the in-laws mean? On the surface, she returned to the Pei family, but the Ouyang family was in charge of other matters. This was really going to go to their home and bully others, right? Was that what they meant?
“Father, what does Ouyang Tang mean? Why did he suddenly want Meimei to come back? What kind of trick is this?”
“Boss, go investigate who Meimei has been in contact with recently and what she is doing! Especially when it comes to men and women, we must find out!”
Pei Tianheng was stunned. Investigate these aspects? Their family couldn’t tolerate any more scandals. If they were to investigate now, it wouldn’t be a good thing!
However, if they were to bring Meimei back to the Pei family without any reason, it wouldn’t be appropriate either. They had to find out clearly!
…
After Ouyang Tang’s eldest son and daughter-in-law left, Ouyang Tang sat in the recreation room without saying a word for a long time. It wasn’t impossible for him to marry Meimei, and he could even build a good relations.h.i.+p with his clan head.
Now that he was here and his big brother was also here, it would be of some help to their house. However, once they died, it wouldn’t be so easy for his house.
The clan head’s daughter-in-law’s family was the best of the two daughters-in-law’s. It was also one of the top two families on the big brother’s side. They were a military and political family with strength and power. Their youngest son had taken a fancy to Pei Meimei, and this couldn’t be considered a good thing.
Using Pei Meimei to marry their family would only bring them benefits and no harm. However, recently, his people had sent news that Pei Li did not seem to be stable. He could not tell that this junior actually had such big ambitions. He wanted to take a good look at whether this junior had ambition or ability. If he really had the ability, it was not like he could not secretly support him.
Back then, he didn’t have the ability of his big brother, nor was he as ruthless as his big brother. He could kill his older brother with his bare hands. However, the next generation of the family was also a capable person. Moreover, half of Pei Li’s body had the blood of their eldest brother, so… This matter couldn’t be considered as betraying his big brother’s side. Wait and see, wait and see!
Ouyang Tang returned to the study room. He looked at the empty walls and didn’t react for a long time. He was stunned for a minute before he let out an earth-shattering roar.
Even the cleaning servants outside the courtyard heard this sound. What was going on?
An hour later, Ouyang Tian was also alarmed. Ouyang Tang angrily demanded to search the entire Ouyang family. He had to find his precious paintings.
Ouyang Tian looked at his younger brother. In the end, he allowed it to happen. However, he did not know that just as he allowed it to happen, four corners of the Ouyang family started to catch fire!
Ouyang Tian was also shocked. First, someone stole four valuable paintings from the Ouyang family, and then he set fire to the Ouyang family. Who was so bold?
In all of China, other than the imprisoned Black Emperor, no one should have the ability to do so!
Oh no, there were still people. There were also the 50 secret guards who were imprisoned in the dungeon. These people were fighting against 10 of them. If they had not used drugs, they might not have been able to capture those people!
If it was really them, they would have released the tiger back to the mountain. No, they had to send someone over immediately…
…
When Shen Xiaoxiao saw 19 again, it was already the next morning. They paused at a villa area in the northern suburbs.
When she woke up, she did not see Yan Kuan. He must have been busy all night. He had been missing for so long, and that fake had messed up the Dark Empire.
“Miss, you’re awake. Did you sleep well? I made you some herbal porridge to nourish your stomach.”
When Shen Xiaoxiao came downstairs, she saw 19 coming out of the kitchen with a bowl of porridge. She was happy and surrounded 19.
“19, are you okay? Did Dark 1 do anything to you? Did he lock you up? Look at how pale you look!”
19 felt that Miss was simply his best friend. She had guessed that Dark 1 had locked him up.
“Miss, how did you know that I was locked up by Dark 1?”
Shen Xiaoxiao was eating her porridge as she said while eating:
“If you weren’t locked up, you would definitely come and save me. I still have that bit of confidence. Moreover, if he didn’t lock you up, I think that Dark 1 wouldn’t be able to do anything to you. I think that between me and Dark 1, you would definitely choose me, right, 19!?”
“Mm, of course. I would definitely stand on Miss’s side. There’s also our Little Master. Miss, you don’t know how detestable Dark 1 is. Not only did he lock me up, but he also used cartilage powder on me. He was afraid that I would run away.”
19 had basically found his organization. Miss really understood him. However, what Shen Xiaoxiao said next left 19 at a loss for words.
“19, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but even though this Dark 1 looks a little… You can’t be conquered by him so easily. Next time, remember to learn how to use medicine and make him unable to resist at all. That way, you can do whatever you want…”
“Shen Xiaoxiao…”
“Miss…”
Shen Xiaoxiao almost choked on the porridge in her mouth. When she raised her head, she saw Yan Kuan staring at her with a livid expression. Of course, Dark 1 was also looking at her with a livid expression. His expression could not be more sour.
“Hehe, about that, I was just spouting nonsense. 19, hurry up and make porridge for your Boss. What are you standing here for?”
19 glanced at the livid faces of the two men at the door and hurriedly fled the battlefield. Fortunately, he did not spout nonsense just now. Otherwise, not only Boss, but even Dark 1 would not forgive him.
19 quickly fled. Shen Xiaoxiao pulled out a stool and hurriedly ran toward Yan Kuan like a lackey. Moreover, it was a trot. Yan Kuan’s expression became more and more unsightly. He took a big step forward and pulled her back.
“Shen Xiaoxiao, you better walk properly. Don’t you see how big your belly is!”
Yan Kuan was originally shouting angrily, but after saying this, his heart also jumped. Yes, wasn’t this little thing’s belly a little too big?
Was she this big after three months?
“Dark 1, when will the doctor be here? Have you prepared the equipment for the third base?”
“It’s already prepared. Miss, you can go after you finish your breakfast.”
“Should I go for a check-up? That’s right. I haven’t gone for a check-up since I got pregnant. Your son… It might even be a daughter,” Shen Xiaoxiao said with a thoughtful look. However, just as she finished speaking, she saw Yun Qi rus.h.i.+ng in.
“There’s news from the base!”
“What news? Why are you in such a hurry?”
Yun Qi looked at Shen Xiaoxiao first and then said embarra.s.sedly, “The Ouyang family announced through the official news that Boss and Ouyang Le, the eldest daughter of the Ouyang family, will be engaged on the 11th of next month! They also announced that the Ouyang family will take a stake in K-ONE Group!”
“Ah? Engaged? They want to invest in K-ONE?”
