Chapter 121: Breaking and Scheming
Putting aside how frightened Liu Yufei was when she ran away, she didn’t care about the thumping sound of her heels on the ground as she quickly rushed out of the door.
The two people inside who had been enjoying themselves were immediately shocked when they heard the noise. Who was it? Who would break in? They had locked the door just now. How could it be? How could it be?
“Who could it be?”
Ouyang Minyan was busy tidying up her clothes, but Ouyang Jingming didn’t seem to care. As he tidied up his clothes lazily, he said to Ouyang Minyan, “Don’t worry. From the sound of it, it should be a woman. Moreover, do you think anyone would believe that the two of us cousins would do anything out of line? We are here to talk about cooperation, and no one in the Ouyang family dares to talk about it casually, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Hearing this, although Ouyang Minyan wasn’t as big-hearted as Ouyang Jingming, she wasn’t as worried as she was just now. After all, the Ouyang family was too famous, and no one dared to make fun of them outside.
But what if something unexpected happened?
In any case, it was obviously not appropriate to continue staying here. Moreover, Ouyang Minyan was still a little worried about the noise just now. This was a scandal, a scandal. Of course, she also believed more that no one would believe these rumors. They were brother and sister. This was something that everyone knew.
The two of them tidied up and walked out one after the other. However, they just happened to hear a man and a woman who were pa.s.sing by saying,
“Why did that Miss Liu Yufei run so fast just now? Could it be that she ran into a ghost here? Look at that small face. It was frighteningly white. Let’s hurry to the banquet hall. There are few people here. Who knows if we might accidentally b.u.mp into something?”
When Ouyang Minyan heard this, she subconsciously glanced at Shen Xiaoxiao’s feet. It wasn’t her. She was telling the truth.
Women of their status could usually be identified just by their eyesight when they wore their clothes. Moreover, they could hear the sound of the heels just now. The sound made by the heels was different from the sound made by the heels on this lady’s feet. She had to be telling the truth when she said that. If they really b.u.mped into someone, that person would be none other than Liu Yufei.
It was her. It was actually her? If it was her, she really could not be careless. Although this girl’s ambition was well hidden, it definitely could not escape her eyes. In addition, she also had such a pair of parents. They were vicious and merciless. She really didn’t dare to be careless about a child raised by a woman who could even abandon her own daughter.
How much she liked this Liu Yufei in the past, how much she feared her now.
“Is it the woman who wants to marry Li’er?”
Ouyang Jingming also heard this and frowned slightly. He also began to feel that this matter was somewhat inappropriate.
“Wanting to marry Li’er, it’s not that simple. I’ll go over first. I want to see if it’s her.”
“Okay, you go over first. If it doesn’t work, I’ll do it again.”
…
Liu Yufei’s face was pale as she held a gla.s.s of champagne and gulped it down. Only after the alcohol had stimulated her did she return to normal. She had just confirmed that it wasn’t a dream. Yes, it wasn’t a dream.
The two of them were actually like this. This Ouyang family really broke the tradition.
But when she thought of the things she had secretly taken pictures of on her phone, her heart suddenly felt like it was a miracle that she had a guarantee in life. She had dug up a huge treasure… This huge treasure might bring unimaginable benefits to her or her Liu family.
However, before she had a good plan, she had to stay calm and not let her good mother-in-law see any flaws. Otherwise, all her efforts would be in vain.
When Ouyang Minyan walked back to the lobby, she deliberately looked for Liu Yufei. She saw that she was chatting happily with another daughter of a wealthy family. She was a little uncertain again. Could it be her? Could it be?
However, her face was ruddy and she didn’t have the slightest sense of panic. No matter how she looked at it, it didn’t seem like it. It seemed that she had to find an opportunity to test it out.
However, no matter which aspect it was from, there was a thorn in her heart. This Liu Yufei, who had pretended to be cute and obedient in the past, could be considered to have done it all in vain.
When 19 saw the scene just now, the fear in his heart toward the Young Miss deepened. In the past, he only thought that the Young Miss was very skilled. However, after tonight’s scheme, even he had to admire her very much.
One had to know that he had been focusing on finding out everything about the Ouyang family since a long time ago. There was nothing big or small about the Ouyang family that they did not know.
However, they had never thought that Ouyang Jingming would get together with his cousin, Ouyang Minyan.
They were both cousins, both surnamed Ouyang. No one would believe such a scandal.
Although they had always known that Ouyang Jingming was not a good person, they had never thought that he would not even spare his own cousin.
There were a few times when the two of them were alone, but it was at most half an hour. Other than the annual gathering of the Ouyang family at the end of the year, every other time they met was at a banquet.
They really did not expect that at this ordinary banquet, the two of them would actually get together under the noses of their own family members. It was really disgusting.
However, it seemed that they could also try to think of the Ouyang family’s unscrupulous way of doing things. The things that they felt were unlikely were very likely to happen in the Ouyang family.
“Miss, Lin Jiadong has already made arrangements. Should we avoid him first?”
“Avoid him? No need. I didn’t steal or hide anything, so why should I avoid him? Besides, tonight is so lively. We officials naturally have to add flowers to the master’s house.”
19 knew that this Miss’s way of thinking was sometimes different from theirs. Her thoughts seemed to be more direct and more efficient.
Everyone who attended the banquet tonight was someone who was well-known in the capital society. Even though Pei Li was watching a good show and did not plan to stop Lin Jiadong’s scheme… He definitely did not mess up his mother’s 50th birthday banquet.
Of course, no matter how stupid Lin Jiadong was, he would not dare to cause trouble here. Fortunately, Lin Jiadong had a military advisor like Liu Yufei by his side. Although she only said a few words lightly and left… The direction she left was indeed the position of Pei Meimei’s group of young ladies.
He didn’t know these people, but Lin Jiadong was very familiar with Miss Huang. She was the only heir of the Huang family and had been doted on since she was young. Most importantly, her aunt was the eldest son of the Ouyang family. She was also the wife of Ouyang Jincheng, the current acting head of the Ouyang family, Huo Wanting.
With such a status, even Ouyang Jingming could only treat her as if she were his junior, let alone the Pei family.
Therefore, Lin Jiadong had taken a liking to Huang Yueyan, who had been bossy and spoiled since she was young. It made sense. Even if she overturned this banquet, no one dared to say anything.
