Chapter 305: Candidate
Pei Li’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be what he had thought? Could it be that Ouyang Jinming and that b*tch were also having an affair?
Pei Li looked at Ouyang Jinming with an extremely unsightly expression. However, Ouyang Jinming was a shrewd person. How could he not know what Pei Li was thinking? He immediately explained,
“Li’er, don’t misunderstand. No matter how ridiculous Father is, he would never get involved with Liu Yufei. However, a month ago, I vaguely saw Liu Yufei getting involved with Bureau Chief Liu, who was in charge of her father, Liu Qianming’s, case. Therefore, I feel that the child in her belly is a little strange. I don’t want someone else’s grandchild for free. Therefore, we must investigate this matter thoroughly and not be muddle-headed.”
How could Pei Li tell Ouyang Jinming? In fact, he knew very well that he was pretending to be muddle-headed about this matter. However, in his current situation, as long as he had a child, no matter whose it was, it would be a blessing. At the very least, he had to pretend to be muddle-headed before he obtained the position of the clan head of the Ouyang family. Moreover, this matter had to be kept a secret. No one could know about it.
‘I believe that you must not know either. Once you know, you will definitely not support me.’
Therefore, Pei Li could only swallow the bitterness of these matters into his stomach.
“Dad, don’t worry. I have already investigated this matter. The child in Liu Yufei’s stomach is indeed mine. There is no doubt about this.”
When Ouyang Jinming saw that Pei Li had already figured it out, his heart relaxed slightly. At the very least, this Pei Li would not be so muddle-headed that he would not even know who his own child was. If that was the case, then this marriage would be settled… But in the end, Pei Li had been wronged.
“In the end, I’ve wronged you a little. After this child is born, we’ll think of another way to change the mistress of the house. This Liu Yufei isn’t worthy at all.”
Pei Li nodded. This was the only way now. However, in his heart, he felt that the marriage that his grandfather had agreed to this time was even more strange. It was so smooth that it made people feel suspicious.
…
Ouyang Tian had locked himself in the study room for a long time and did not come out. This was simply a miracle. Even when his beloved granddaughter, An Ning, came to look for him, he still avoided her. This matter had attracted the attention of the entire Ouyang family.
What was wrong with this old man? What kind of big matter had he encountered? He actually looked like this?
“Fourth Young Miss, the Old Master has ordered that he will see no one. You should go to the room and wait for a while!”
The Sixth Butler did not dare to offend An Ning now. This Young Miss was completely different from the other young masters and young misses of the Ouyang family.
They, the trusted stewards, could clearly see what Ouyang Tian was thinking about her.
Of course, as a servant, it was not convenient to judge the Master’s matters. When he was with Miss An Ning, the Young Miss looked exactly the same. It was no wonder that the Old Master would have extra thoughts about her.
An Ning was smart in this aspect. She knew that she would not be able to barge in just because of their love. Moreover, the Sixth Butler had already given her face by being able to respectfully stop her outside the door, so An Ning walked to the bedroom at the side without making any noise.
The moment she entered the bedroom, An Ning’s face turned red, especially when she saw the bed outside. Her heart was beating non-stop.
Her grandfather said that as long as she got that tattoo, no one in the Ouyang family would dare to bully her from now on. Even if he died, she was safe in the Ouyang family.
Although she always felt that Ouyang Tian’s feelings for her were not simple, she was not one of those simple girls. After wandering in the entertainment industry for a few years, what kind of unspoken rules had she not seen?
If it were not for her background, she would have been cheated many times already.
However, now her financial backer had become her grandfather. Although it was a little disgusting, the benefits were too great, and she could not help but be tempted.
After all, they were separated by a generation. She could just treat it as acting with an old man. There was nothing wrong with that.
Ouyang Tian locked himself in the study room. The news that Ma San had brought back was too shocking. The junior that he had thought highly of was actually a good-for-nothing. Wasn’t it a waste of effort for him to bring someone into the Ouyang family with such big fanfare?
If Pei Li was not desirable, then who should he choose to be the next head of the Ouyang family?
The eldest son? No, defending the family was fine, but expanding the territory was absolutely impossible for him.
The three sons of the eldest son? Sigh, they could not be too shrewd.
Could it be that the Ouyang family could not find a capable junior who could turn the tide and push the Ouyang family to a new height?
He spent the whole morning in a myriad of thoughts. He really did not know which junior he should choose as the focus of cultivation. In the end, he sketched out a few people in the big room and the second room. As for the final result, he would have to test it again. His old bones could only hold on for a while longer.
…
“You mean to say that Ouyang Jinling was not let go by that fake?”
“Then why did she disappear for no reason? To be able to escape from the base, this is not something that an ordinary person can do. Wait, could it be that Ouyang Jinling is not with Ouyang Tian?”
When she heard Yan Kuan say this while she was sleeping, she felt that it was unbelievable. If Ouyang Jinling was not with Ouyang Tian, then with her frail appearance, it was impossible for her to escape from so many guards in the base!
Yan Kuan also frowned. This matter was getting more and more bizarre. He could not figure out how Ouyang Jinling managed to escape. After retrieving all the surveillance footage, other than walking out of the room, there was no sign of her at all. This was really strange. It couldn’t even be a ghost.
“Either Ouyang Jinling is skilled enough to avoid all the cameras, or there is a mole in our Dark Empire who helped her escape from the base. There is no problem with Old Man Yao because, indeed, Ouyang Jinling’s blood contains the Suoyin flower. I’m just very curious about where Ouyang Jinling wants to go after leaving the base.”
When Shen Xiaoxiao heard Yan Kuan’s words, she suddenly thought of something. A few months ago, wasn’t the butler that she had killed at the Ouyang family’s party holding the Suoyin Flower Tears? At that time, Yan Kuan had asked Dark 1 to send it back, but Dark 1 had immediately disappeared. The Suoyin Flower Tears had also disappeared without a trace.
“Didn’t you ask Dark 1 to send the Suoyin Flower Tears back? Dark 1, where did you send it?”
Dark 1, who had been listening to their conversation from the side, was also stunned when he was asked. He immediately said, “It’s already been sent back. I personally handed it to Old Man Yao. Didn’t he tell you?”
“Dark 1, are you sure? That’s impossible. When the fake fainted, Old Man Yao’s expression definitely didn’t look like he received the Suoyin Flower Tears. Moreover, he kept asking me where the Suoyin Flower Tears was. Are you sure it was delivered to Old Man Yao’s hand?”
“This subordinate is sure. It was indeed delivered to Old Man Yao’s hand personally.”
“That person is not Old Man Yao but Old Man Yao’s disciple. It’s very likely that Ouyang Jinling was also woken up by Old Man Yao’s disciple who then helped her escape step by step.”
