Chapter 177: Only the Two of Them Were Left
The gla.s.s of red wine that had been spiked was gulped down by Liu Yufei. It had been more than half an hour, and the effects of the medicine had already begun.
However, Liu Yufei had been ignoring the burning sensation all over her body. However, after experiencing a few big shocks, the blood flow had increased. The effects of the medicine should have taken an hour to take effect, but now it had started acting up ahead of time.
Liu Yufei had the Suoyin flower on her veins, so she was even more sensitive to the things inside the medicine. Therefore, at this moment, she could feel that she almost could not control her entire body. She almost broke her fingernails.
The first person who noticed that something was wrong with her was, of course, Liu Qianmin, who was standing next to her. Both of them felt embarra.s.sed when their videos were exposed. They were standing quite far back. Even when Shen Xiaoxiao came out just now, they were too embarra.s.sed to go forward.
Liu Qianmin wanted to jet Gu Yuehua go up to stop the marriage annulment, but he annoyed Gu Yuehua. Gu Yuehua had yet to forgive him.
Plus, Gu Yuehua also hoped this engagement would be broken off, to fulfill her daughter, Liu Yufei’s marriage, so she would not stop Shen Xiaoxiao’s small move.
It was only when they were talking about the keepsake that Gu Yuehua finally remembered the thing about the Shen family’s secret fund. She naturally panicked in her heart, but it was already too late. Not only was she unable to insert a single word into their conversation, Shen Jinwen used the Liu family to block all her words.
Even if she was stupid, she also knew. Before the lawyer brought the doc.u.ments, she really did not have any right to interfere with the Shen family’s things.
Had it not been for the fact that she still had some shares in the Shen family, their family would have gone to the wind.
Of course, now that she saw that the Lin Weiwei that she had always hated was actually Shen Xiaoxiao, she could only hate Shen Xiaoxiao more and more.
When everything was settled, Liu Yufei’s cheeks were already red, and her body couldn’t help but begin to search for a place that carried the scent of male hormones.
The first to bear the brunt was where her father, Liu Qianmin, was standing.
They had already embarra.s.sed themselves enough tonight. Liu Qianmin naturally saw through his daughter at a glance. He knew that no matter how much they argued, they would at most be shameless. However, once their daughter and father were together, it would be a game.
Therefore, Liu Qianmin was not ruthless. Instead, when everyone was watching the Shen and Pei family’s farce, he pushed Liu Yufei fiercely behind Pei Li.
Pei Li was already feeling awkward because of the video of his mother and him being exposed. Moreover, he did not have the slightest chance to interfere in the annulment of the marriage. Although he was unwilling… He also knew that his mother had no way out from the moment this new article was exposed.
In fact, even he did not expect that his mother would actually get involved with his uncle. Ever since he was young, his uncle had treated him extremely well. He thought that it was because he was smart and cute, but he had never thought that it was because of the relations.h.i.+p between his mother and Ouyang Jinming.
Pei Li could only stand at the side in a daze, so he naturally did not see Liu Yufei who was pushed behind him by Liu Qianmin.
Liu Yufei almost could not control herself at this moment. It was also at this moment that she suddenly realized that the Suoyin flower tattoo on her was not just a simple tattoo.
She had seen other women use this thing, but no woman would be like her. Without any man, she would be unable to extricate herself from it even if she dawdled.
She wanted to hold it in, but she could not. Moreover, she knew that her father had pushed her with his palm. She was even more grateful for that palm. Seeing where Pei Li’s back was, she could not care less about anything now. Didn’t she want to get rid of it impatiently? Now, she wanted to get rid of it for the rest of her life.
Liu Yufei almost allowed her own desire to attack him. She hugged Pei Li with one hand and even let out a whimper.
Not only that, but she also bit her tongue hard, trying her best to maintain the last bit of clarity. She said to Pei Li, “Brother Li, let’s never be separated again.”
The farce began.
She pestered him and he ran away. However, this place had long been surrounded by people. Everyone saw this scene of infatuation between a man and a woman. Other than roaring with laughter, everyone was pointing at them.
“Alright, everyone, please!”
Perhaps it was because the Ouyang family had some tricks up their sleeves, or perhaps it was because the video that was supposed to be played had ended. At this moment, there was nothing else that could be played on the big screen.
The final liveliness also came to an end under Shen Xiaoxiao’s strong attack. When everyone saw that the Ouyang family had once again chased them away, they did not delay any longer. Everyone had an inexplicable smile on their faces as they looked at the lovesick couple who were still hugging each other.
However, someone could not help but say:
“They’ve really helped a couple who have a lover. Look at how happy they are now that the engagement has just been broken off. Young people nowadays are really more forward-thinking.”
“Yes, yes…”
Everyone present had seen this farce. Although they were about to leave the venue, they could not control the topic that everyone was discussing. This time, regardless of whether it was the Liu family or the Pei family, they were destined to be humiliated to the end. It was almost predictable… The stock market would plunge the next day. What kind of baptism would the Pei family go through?
After the good show was over, Shen Xiaoxiao naturally had to leave as well. Today, she could be considered to have returned with a full load of honor. The half key in her hand was firmly placed in her hand. This was the first time she had seen the hope of revenge.
“Let’s go, little thing. You’re too excited.”
“Miss Shen and this gentleman, please wait!”
Yan Kuan held Shen Xiaoxiao’s hand and paused. Third Uncle, Liu Mei, and the others were the last to leave. They had already completed their mission. When they saw Yan Kuan, who was suddenly called out and was even specially pointed out… Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart, which had already begun to relax, was once again lifted up high.
In the entire banquet hall, other than the Pei family, Liu family, and Ouyang family, everyone else had already left. Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan turned their heads to look at Ouyang Tian, who was still calm and steady as a bell. The two of them looked at each other and saw a strong fighting spirit in each other’s eyes. The war that belonged to them had only just begun!
“May I know why Grandpa Ouyang called us over?”
The one who spoke was Shen Xiaoxiao. She stood there naturally and used her young shoulders to stand up for Yan Kuan to say something.
Yan Kuan’s eyes were filled with tender affection as he looked at this weak girl who had only reached his shoulders. This was the first time someone had stood in front of him so straightforwardly to stand up for him.
Although she might not be able to do anything for him, he completely accepted this kindness.
He reached out and held her hand tightly. It was as if for the first time, he had the feeling that being a little man was not a bad idea.
However, he knew that this kind of thought was only a figment of his imagination. This was because he did not allow his woman to risk her life for him. His woman should be protected and should enjoy the tenderness that belonged to him.
He smiled.
This smile was completely wrong. It was so cheerful and so free.
Along with the aura that had been restrained from the moment they entered the Ouyang Mansion, the overwhelming killing intent and coldness swept over. No one could believe that just a moment ago, they had thought that he was just an ordinary man who could be dispensed with. How could he suddenly be so powerful and give off such a mighty pressure?
Other than Ouyang Tian, everyone could not help but feel a sense of timidity. They did not dare to look directly into his eyes. Even when their gazes fell on him, they were forced to move away. This man who seemed to have returned from h.e.l.l. Who was he?
