Ning Caier had originally wanted to leave, but she had already thought of a plan. After going back, she would find a reason to leave, but today, the elevator seemed to be broken down, and it just stood there without moving an inch.
Ouyang Jue indicated with his finger to Ning Caier, his finger pressing firmly on the button of the elevator, it was impossible to close the door.
"I have to carefully consider your request."
immediately squeezed into the elevator. To have such a good reason to go to Ning Caier's house, he obviously would not reject, especially if he could pass Ning Caier's parents' test.
"Don't appear to be too familiar with my home later on, otherwise my parents will think too much about it."
Before knocking on the door, Ning Caier warned Ouyang Jue repeatedly. She did not tell Ning Ancheng about Ouyang Jue's frequent visits to their house to cook, so it would be best if he could act like it was his first time coming to her house. She didn't want her parents to see that Ouyang Jue had any extraordinary feelings for her.
Ning Caier's upbringing was very traditional, her parents had always been teaching her not to ask for things that didn't belong to her level. If they knew that Ouyang Jue treated her with importance and had other feelings, they would probably be worried about her, furthermore, she had Han Yuqi. If her parents knew that Ouyang Jue had different feelings for her, they would probably have a gap in their hearts when they accepted Han Yuqi.
"You're being too deliberate. We live upstairs, up and down. It's normal for us to work overtime together."
Ouyang Jue felt that Ning Caier's words had exposed his weakness, since he was worried that Ning Ancheng would misunderstand, then he would definitely appear very familiar with his later. Only then would he be able to provide sufficient preparation for him to enter this house. Right now, he wished that Ning Ancheng could see that he had set his sights on his daughter with his Fiery Eyes of Truth.
"Anyway, do it like this. After you enter the house, do not look at anything. After you finish eating, go back upstairs."
Ning Caier's heart was thumping hard, she was afraid that Ouyang Jue's shocking words would cause her to be unable to explain herself, she did not realise that his words had already surpassed the intimacy level between friends, and this was completely because her girlfriend was giving orders to her first boyfriend.
"Don't worry, I'll listen to you." Ouyang Jue understood Ning Caier's small temper to be because he was close to him, so he placed his hands in his pockets and lowered his head to look like he was obedient. Ning Caier felt that Ouyang Jue's actions were a little overboard, and wanted to correct him once again. But just as he was about to do so, Ning Ancheng opened the door from the inside.
"CEO Ouyang, you came. It was all thanks to you this time that we did not know how to repay you."
When Ning Ancheng saw Ouyang Jue, he was so excited that he did not know what to say. He trembled and held both Ouyang Jue's hands, and the words that rushed down his throat only left a long string of sobs.
Ning Caier's mother also cried at the side. This was a huge blow to the Ning Family, if not for Ouyang Jue's help, they would not have been able to get past this crisis.
"It's fine. This matter has nothing to do with you, so you can naturally investigate it clearly."
Ouyang Jue was actually the reason for this matter. Ning Ancheng had merely been implicated by him, but to actually accept his kind invitation right now, he was truly a little embarrassed.
Ouyang Jue lowered his head according to Ning Caier's instructions, and did not say a single word. He was completely unlike the usual CEO who would normally shake the company, and he was even a little afraid, so much so that Su Lili felt that Ouyang Jue had become a completely different person.
Ning Caier couldn't help but poke Ouyang Jue in the waist, telling him to straighten his body. He was the savior of the Ning family today, the main character of this meal.
Ouyang Jue immediately lifted his body up. He and Ning Ancheng was already very close to begin with, but when he suddenly raised his head, he gave Ning Ancheng and Su Lili a huge shock. The few of them standing at the door felt extremely awkward.
"Cai'er, what are you standing there blankly for? Quickly invite the CEO to sit down."
Su Lili was, after all, the CEO of Tian Ao. What was wrong with her standing there so indifferently? Moreover, today was a banquet of gratitude, so with Ouyang Jue's kindness towards their family, it wouldn't be enough for them to kneel down and kowtow to Ning Caier.
"That's right, CEO. Let's go in."
Ning Caier laughed awkwardly, and politely invited Ouyang Jue in. Today, his acting was truly explosive, but unfortunately, he did not have a middle stage, and his actions made everyone feel that it was really strange. It made her feel that he would not be able to finish tonight's meal in peace.
When Ning Caier's parents were serving dishes in the kitchen, Ouyang Jue raised his eyebrows at her quietly. Today, he was sitting here quietly and did nothing, and did not say anything either.
"You should be more normal. My mother already feels that something is wrong." Ning Caier had been observing her parents' expressions the entire time. She could see the doubt on Su Lili's face, so she hurriedly warned him in a small voice so that he could return to her usual demeanor.
"Alright, since that's the case, then I won't be polite." Ouyang Jue stretched lazily and put his jacket on the back of the chair like before. He saw Ning Ancheng and Su Lili busy in the kitchen, he lightly walked over to see if he could help with anything. He had bought all of the equipment in this kitchen, he was extremely familiar with them.
"I put the dishes in the hot box just now to keep them warm. When I bring them out, they'll be ready to eat." Ning Ancheng and Su Lili had been studying the heat box's button since the start, and were actually unable to take out the dish after putting it in. They could only hold onto the lever and wait anxiously.
"The yellow one." Ouyang Jue said casually, but after Ning Ancheng pressed on the heat box, it immediately opened, causing Ning Ancheng to look at Ouyang Jue in surprise, this high and mighty CEO was actually proficient in kitchen stuff.
"The temperature box in my house is the same." Ouyang Jue immediately explained after seeing Ning Ancheng's expression, but his explanation did not get Ning Ancheng's relief. His expression did not seem to be natural, he had already thought that the high grade kitchen utensils in Ning Caier's room were strange, and now that he heard Ouyang Jue's words, he felt that it was a little twisted inside.
A few hometown dishes were served on the table and the fragrance filled his nose. Ouyang Jue would often eat outside and felt that this kind of hometown dish was especially good. He couldn't help but exclaim a few times at Ning Ancheng's culinary skills, saying that the two of them must exchange pointers if they had the chance.
Ouyang Jue's words made Ning Caier choke water. She coughed violently, telling Ouyang Jue to stop talking. Otherwise, he would definitely 'accidentally' say that he came here to cook.
However, Ning Ancheng had already guessed it half the way. The kitchenware here was most likely the same as Ouyang Jue's family, and only this CEO was willing to buy such an expensive thing.
"CEO, it's just a common occurrence, don't turn your back on me." Su Lili didn't know what to say when she heard this. Although the four of them were seated around a table, each of them was eating their own food. There wasn't much interaction between them, so she could only turn on the television, to ease the current atmosphere.
"Mom, the CEO doesn't like to watch TV when she eats." Ouyang Jue had always liked to be quiet, so he didn't have the habit of watching TV while eating. Ning Caier didn't even think before he blurted it out, and today, the media was all reporting about Ouyang Jue and Bai Youya canceling the engagement, and there might even be an interview of her later on.
However, Ning Caier had spoken too late. On the television, the news of today's press conference was being broadcasted.
However, what Ning Caier said on her behalf was already distorted by the reporters into a completely different story. They described her as someone who had succeeded in becoming the third child, still showing off her might after getting rid of Ouyang Jue's original body.
placed his chopsticks on the table and let out a soft crisp sound, but the anger in his heart was not normal. These reporters have so much guts, to actually dare to write about such things, do they really think that he, the No master, is dead!
's parents also put down the chopsticks in their hands. The current scene was even more awkward than before, they believed that their own daughter would not do such a thing, but they did not understand why her daughter, who would never lie, would actually lie to them. She had clearly said that she would go on a business trip today, but then canceled it temporarily.
"Uncle, aunt, I still have some matters to attend to. I'll invite you back another day." Ouyang Jue knew that the way these reporters dealt with the matter was closely related to Bai Youya, so he had to quickly investigate this matter and see how big of an impact this matter had.
Ouyang Jue knew that Bai Youya must have done something big, but he just did not expect that she and Bai Tianlong could recover their vitality this quickly and fight him in this tough battle.
This time, she was very smart, not only the media reported this, but most importantly, there were a lot of related posts on the internet. These posts were not posted by the government, but they were slowly dug up using public information.
The discussions of these ordinary people did not have any effect on Ouyang Jue, but to girls from families like Ning Caier, it was fatal. Bai Youya obviously wanted to kill them all. She was not easy to deal with herself, and she would definitely not let others off easy.
Ning Ancheng, who was in the room, also wanted to find his daughter to have a good talk. Although Ouyang Jue was their benefactor, fame and reputation were especially important for girls. He did not want his daughter to be discussed like this.
"Cai'er, your father is glad that we were able to escape such a calamity, but if all of this requires my daughter to sacrifice herself, I would rather go to jail."
Ning Ancheng was afraid that Ning Caier would sacrifice herself for his sake, because he was an experienced person as well. He could clearly see that Ouyang Jue definitely had more than just the feelings of a superior and a subordinate towards Ning Caier, and when Ouyang Jue looked at her daughter, her eyes were as clear as a child's. This kind of expression would only appear when she looked at the person she loved, so he had to remind Ning Caier before they started. Ouyang Jue's family was something they couldn't afford to face.
"Dad, this is all nonsense from the media, don't take it seriously."
Ning Caier explained to Ning Ancheng in panic, but this time, her explanation was obviously not as bold and confident as the previous times.
