BXBX NOVEL Chapter 382 - The Way Out
Chapter 382: The Way Out
Pei Li’s head was still dizzy after he returned to his room. There had been many twists and turns tonight. He had thought that he was about to obtain the position of the head of the family, but he had actually stopped because of Ouyang Tian’s sobriety, the old fogey had actually woken up at this time. He was really aggrieved.
And now that he thought about it carefully, the things that had happened today were really strange, especially the Suoyin flower on Xiaoxiao and the child in her belly. They were all strange.
Ouyang Jinming said that the Nanny Dong was definitely not someone that could be bribed. In other words, she would definitely not lie. If what she said was the truth, how could the child in Xiaoxiao’s belly be his…? He had never touched her before.
The more Pei Li thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was a little strange. Was Xiaoxiao really Xiaoxiao? Should he investigate?
But how should he investigate? Xiaoxiao’s true identity made him feel that it was not easy to get his hands on her.
Ah, there it is. Gu Yuehua and Shen Xiaoxiao were both Gu Yuehua’s daughters. As long as he found out if they were related by blood, wouldn’t it be clear?
However, this Suoyin flower was tattooed by an old woman when she was young. These things were really a mess.
“Ah Li, now that you and Ouyang Jinming are working together, you must be prepared to be suppressed by them. However, Father has to tell you the truth. It is not without benefits for the big house to stand up for you at this time.”
Ouyang Jinming’s smile was unfathomable. Pei Li almost thought that he had seen wrongly. Why was Ouyang Jinming not worried or dissatisfied at all?
“Father, what do you mean by that?”
Ouyang Jinming smiled and said, “No matter what, I have been brothers with the old man for half of my life. I know very well what kind of person he is. Not to mention that the old man is sick and needs someone to step in to handle things, but his ability is even difficult to defend the city, let alone be the head of the family?”
“Just you wait. If the old man doesn’t help, then it will definitely be your aunt. As long as she interferes in the Ouyang family’s matters, we will be able to give them the title of a chicken. When that time comes… They won’t be able to eat anymore and will leave happily.”
Ouyang Jinming’s smile was strange, but Pei Li really didn’t think that his idea would work. Now, he even began to suspect that the Ouyang family’s request might not be as easy as they thought. Just the old master’s fall… Almost all of the members of the Ouyang family revealed their true faces. Although the people outside saw that it was still the Ouyang family’s unity and mutual assistance, Pei Li really didn’t think so.
He did not have much contact with the outside world, but he knew that almost all the power was in the hands of Ouyang Tian alone. He had been dealing with the merchants outside all day long, and he always felt that the atmosphere was getting more and more serious recently. Whether the matter that the Ouyang family had asked for could really be accomplished was still unknown.
Now, it was not impossible for him to avoid it. Perhaps after the matter was accomplished, it was not impossible for him to come back and reap the benefits.
“Dad, is the man in black here?”
Ouyang Jinming did not expect Pei Li to suddenly ask about the man in black. He directly said, “No, he hasn’t appeared since the last time I saw him at the hospital. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I just wanted to hear his opinion. If you didn’t see him, then it’s fine.”
…
At this moment, in the Forbidden Area.
The man in black.
If Yan Kuan were here right now, he would definitely be surprised. This was because the man in black was standing beside the crystal coffin and looking inside. The black curtain hid all of his expressions in the darkness. He didn’t reveal anything at all.
Even the hands supporting the crystal coffin were covered tightly by a pair of black gloves. He just stood there and looked at the person in the crystal coffin with infatuated eyes. He had a white face and beard, and he had an unnatural paleness. If he didn’t know that this person was still alive, he would probably be no different from a dead person.
“He actually ran out of here by luck. Don’t worry, I will definitely save you. Even if it’s him, I will save you…”
…
“Wanting, we have finally made a comeback. Father woke up at the right time. However, I didn’t expect that Father actually wanted me in the end. It seems that we had a misunderstanding earlier.”
With just this little bit of sweetness, Ouyang Jincheng had forgotten about Ouyang Tian’s banishment. Huo Wanting couldn’t be bothered to talk to this man. This time, she could see that if anything happened to the Ouyang family’s Old Master… Then their house would be the target of a joint attack.
Now that the Old Master had woken up, his body wouldn’t be able to last until 120. Moreover, if this matter was successful, it would still be fine. They could still fight for it, but what if they failed?
Not to mention Huo Wanting, the Ouyang family was already in such internal strife, let alone outside where they had no contact. Even if they listened to the old man’s orders, the result would not be as good as they thought!
Huo Wanting thought a little more, but looking at Ouyang Jincheng’s appearance… After thinking for a while, she said, “Then hubby, you have to do a good job for Father. Don’t let him down. Right, I still have something to tell you. Although it’s not very appropriate to say this now, you also know that I don’t have many people around me that I can use. I want Liu He to take San’er abroad to see that child Yueyan.”
“She has the shares of the Huang Corporation. The Huang Corporation is also the biggest backer of our big house. We definitely can’t miss this opportunity. Even if Eldest and Second Brother can help you with your work, San’er is still young. I think it’s always good to have Liu He accompany him, don’t you think so?”
Ouyang Jincheng originally thought that San’er could go alone, but when he thought of what Huo Wanting said, San’er was only 20 years old, which was indeed a little young. Moreover, this was also for the sake of the big house, so Ouyang Jincheng, who thought less, agreed.
As soon as Ouyang Jincheng left, Liu He looked at Huo Wanting with some confusion and said, “Wanting, what are you doing?”
Huo Wanting looked at Liu He and revealed a rare trace of true feelings. She said to Liu He, “Liu He, you take San’er out and wait for the limelight to pass before you come back. It doesn’t matter if the deed is done.”
Liu He was shocked. What did this mean? Was Wanting asking him to run away?
“Wanting, what are you saying? How can I leave at this time? Moreover, even if I have to leave, you have to come with us.”
Huo Wanting held Liu He’s hand, it was rare for her to say with deep affection, “Liu He, the mistress of the Ouyang family is not allowed to leave China. Moreover, if something happens to the Ouyang family, I absolutely cannot live alone. This is the Ouyang family’s rule. When that time comes, no matter where I run to, as long as I have this Suoyin flower, the old granny can easily take my life. Rather than that, why not use my life to leave a way for you and San’er to live?”
“All these years you have no children. I will give you San’er for your retirement. You have spent your whole life here. Now, you’re old. I cannot let you leave your life behind for me here.”
