Chapter 166: Offering Gifts
Shen Xiaoxiao naturally did not know the purpose of the secret room that the Ouyang family had set up for the mistress of the household. However, she had seen Liu Yufei, as well as Liu Yufei’s wandering appearance with all kinds of men.
In fact, she did not need to guess to know that there must be men or something else to satisfy them.
Back then, perhaps Huang Yueyan’s mother knew that the Suoyin flower had its advantages and disadvantages, which was why she didn’t let her daughter get such a weird tattoo.
“The men of the Ouyang family would do anything for themselves, but Ouyang Jincheng is already over 50 years old. He has three sons and a daughter. Which one is the next head of the family?”
Yan Kuan did not reply. Perhaps he did not know that the oldest of Ouyang Jincheng’s three sons was 27 years old and the youngest was 22 years old. Neither of them was married.
Perhaps Shen Xiaoxiao only needed to pay attention to which woman was tattooed with the Suoyin flower, and the person who married her in the end would be the next family head of the Ouyang family. It would be simpler.
Of course, this was also the first time that Yan Kuan had told her so much about the secrets of the Ouyang family without holding anything back. For some reason, Shen Xiaoxiao felt that it seemed to have something to do with the ring on her finger. She didn’t know if it was psychological or something else. In any case, she felt that after wearing the ring, Yan Kuan seemed to be much more open with her. At least, he was willing to talk to her about a lot of things and didn’t need her to guess.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Yan Kuan and turned her head to continue staring at the lively drama in front of her. She looked at all the different expressions on everyone’s faces.
“With such a grand scene, I’m afraid that no one will be able to guess what the Ouyang family is planning, right?”
After Shen Xiaoxiao finished talking to herself, she looked at the place where the crowd was surging, and her expression was inexplicable.
“Weiwei.”
Shen Xiaoxiao heard someone call her name. She turned around and saw that it was Liu Mei and her husband, Huang Fugui.
When Shen Xiaoxiao saw this old friend of hers, especially the warmth in Huang Fugui’s eyes when he looked at her, she smiled naturally and pulled Yan Kuan to walk towards them.
“President Yan, how have you been?”
“President Huang is still in good health. Madam Huang is becoming more and more radiant.”
“President Yan is still so eloquent. It’s just that I didn’t expect Weiwei to have such high standards, to actually be with President Yan… Hahaha, Weiwei, you really hid it well.”
Liu Mei’s teasing made Shen Xiaoxiao extremely embarrassed. It was just that she did not expect the Liu Mei couple to actually know Yan Kuan.
Moreover, it was obvious that they were a couple. She could not even explain herself.
“Aunt Liu, don’t make fun of me. Did you and Uncle Huang just arrive?”
“Yes. Come, let’s go over there. The men are talking. We don’t understand. Let’s go.”
Liu Mei pulled Shen Xiaoxiao away. Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Yan Kuan. He clearly had something to discuss with Huang Fugui. She just did not know what Yan Kuan would discuss with Huang Fugui. He actually made Liu Mei be willing to help him get rid of her.
However, Shen Xiaoxiao was extremely kind to Liu Mei. Even Liu Mei treated Shen Xiaoxiao sincerely. Just as she walked a little further away, she heard Liu Mei say, “Are you sure it’s tonight? Is everything arranged?”
Shen Xiaoxiao did not expect Liu Mei to be so direct, but she also knew that this person was indeed a straightforward person. She also said, “It’s tonight, but I’m worried that there might be other changes. Later, Aunt Liu, try to stay as far away from me as possible. Otherwise, if there are any problems, even if you want to help, there’s nothing you can do.”
How could Shen Xiaoxiao not know the Liu Mei couple’s personality? If they did not say that, the Liu Mei couple would really jump out to help.
However, the current Fu Lin Group could not contend with the Pei family. If the Pei family wanted to join forces with other families to push out the Fu Lin Group, it was not impossible.
In addition, she did not want to see what happened to the Liu Mei couple in her previous life. Although she had made preparations in advance to let Huang Tingxuan avoid the obsession of his good cousin, there was a possibility that other things might happen. As long as they did not overcome the deadlock in the past, everything could happen.
“Weiwei, don’t worry about us. Your Uncle Huang and I will not sit idly by. This is a big matter for you. We will definitely not ignore it.”
“Aunt Liu, listen to me. I know that you have good intentions. But this time, I want to handle it myself. Even Yan Kuan will not interfere in my affairs. I am the daughter of the Shen family. The daughter of the Shen family will never rely on others to do everything. You have done enough for me. Just by taking care of those things, I can tell that Gu Yuehua has rubbed you all the time.”
Liu Mei was obviously in a difficult position. Shen Xiaoxiao was telling the truth. That contract and jade pendant had indeed caused Gu Yuehua to make trouble every few days. There was even a time when she had even seduced Huang Fugui. If Huang Fugui had not always looked down on this woman… She really did not know what disgusting thing this woman could do.
However, when she heard from Xiaoxiao that even Yan Kuan would not interfere, she was a little hesitant for a moment. Although she was not sure, she had heard from her husband that Yan Kuan’s background was extremely deep, whether it was overseas or domestic… And the rumored CEO of KN was actually Yan Kuan, which made Liu Mei feel a little awkward.
“How about this? Auntie can only promise you that if everything goes well, we won’t interfere. But if it doesn’t go well, your Uncle Huang and I will definitely not stand idly by. And your Third Uncle, he bought a plane ticket back early in the morning. I’m afraid that the time will be up.”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Liu Mei’s resolute words and nodded helplessly, agreeing with her.
As for Third Uncle, she couldn’t pay attention to Third Uncle and not let him come back. When Third Uncle heard that the engagement was going to be annulled, he was even more excited than Shen Xiaoxiao.
Moreover, he also said that Shen Xiaoxiao was now carrying Lin Weiwei’s identity behind her back. In many aspects, it was actually not that convenient. It would be better if one of the Shen family members stood up and spoke. So, in the end, Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t turn him away and could only let him come back.
Just then, Yan Kuan walked over. He and Huang Fugui seemed to have come to an agreement. She didn’t know what they had talked about so quickly, but smart women sometimes had to learn to play dumb.
The two couples separated, and they continued to walk forward.
At this time, it was the time for the married women to present their gifts.
As the daughter of Ouyang Tang’s concubine, Ouyang Minyan was naturally ranked behind the three legitimate daughters. From this point, it was easy to see that the Ouyang family was very particular about the distinction between the legitimate and the illegitimate.
Ouyang Minyan could be considered to be in high spirits today, because Ouyang Tang had four daughters and two sons. These three legitimate daughters were not as well-married as her.
Of course, when she chose to marry back then, her three elder sisters married off relatively well. However, the development of the Pei family was also astonishingly fast. Therefore, when she sent the congratulatory gifts to the Pei family… The expressions on the three elder sisters’ faces were extremely unnatural.
A complete set of Ru Kiln tea sets was sent to the heart of Ouyang Tang, who loved to drink tea. He immediately prepared to have it placed and wanted to taste it.
However, the three sisters and the two eldest brothers were all the children of Ouyang Tang’s wife. In other words, other than Ouyang Minyan herself, she had no other direct siblings.
Moreover, Ouyang Minyan’s mother was the only aunt and wife of Ouyang Tang. Although she was favored, she had died many years ago. Therefore, Ouyang Tang was Ouyang Minyan’s biggest and only backer. However, it was not easy to live in a weird and strict family like the Ouyang family back then.
Therefore, instead of choosing a scheming elder brother, it was better to find a lover for oneself. Perhaps, the relationship would be more stable. Ouyang Minyan was thus mixed up with Ouyang Jinming.
