"Miss Xu said that I look too much like a staff member wearing this set of clothes. He told me to change it, but I don't have any clothes that I can change into."
Although she could find a clothing store nearby the banquet hall, she had already given Han Yuqi her invitation. If she were to leave, she would not be able to enter, and now, she felt that she was reaping the rewards, if only she had known earlier that she would be wearing Ouyang Jue's prepared clothes.
"I already told you not to dress like a staff member. You just didn't want to listen and Miss Xu had to speak for itself. You didn't listen to your boss like this when you were an arrogant staff member."
Ouyang Jue couldn't help but tease Ning Caier for a bit. He had already said long ago that she wasn't suitable for such a low-key outfit, so he had prepared clothes for him early in the morning to prevent her from regretting it when she arrived at the venue.
"Go find Lao Wu, your clothes and shoes are in the trunk."
Ouyang Jue was the focus of the entire scene today and it was inconvenient for him to leave for too long, so he handed Ning Caier over to Driver Old Wu and had him find a makeup artist to help Ning Caier comb her makeup.
She hurriedly changed into this set of clothes and tied her hair into a bun. However, when she appeared in front of Xu Mengyun in this kind of outfit, her expression was even uglier than before, because she had actually crashed into a car with the new bride.
Ouyang Jue had not paid attention to what kind of clothes Xu Mengyun had prepared for his, so whenhe had picked out the clothes for Ning Caier, she had completely picked them out according to her usual gentle and elegant preference. As a result, the dress she was wearing was actually seventy to eighty percent similar to the one he was wearing on Xu Mengyun's body.
These two dresses were basically the sister version, it was just that Xu Mengyun was wearing a long skirt that dragged across the floor, while Ning Caier was wearing a short skirt that reached her knees, but she looked much more lively than Xu Mengyun, this made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Ning Caier stood there, not daring to move. She did not know why Ouyang Jue had prepared a dress that was about the same as Xu Mengyun's for her. Right now, she wished that she could find a hole to hide in.
"Miss Ning's clothes were custom-made. I never thought you would owe so much money, and act like you're not much different from the Wealthy Class."
Xu Mengyun felt that Ning Caier was purposely showing off today, and her tone became even colder. The entire atmosphere backstage had sunk into a freezing point, some clever staff went to the banquet hall to inform Ouyang Jue, and told him about the situation backstage.
The moment he entered the door, he knew what had happened. As the instigator of this black dragon incident, he naturally had to take full responsibility.
"Mengyun, your dress is too long. I originally wanted Cai'er to help you drag it, but if the difference between her and you was too great, it would be too sudden."
Ouyang Jue knew how much Xu Mengyun valued this engagement ceremony. All of the elders of the Xu Family and her business companions for many years had already arrived, so at this time, she absolutely could not afford to make any mistakes, not to mention that she was the one who was inconsiderate with Bai Tianlong's matter. Her selfishness had almost implicated Xu Mengyun, so this engagement banquet was her compensation to her.
"Do you still think that I haven't lost enough face today!?" Xu Mengyun felt that Ouyang Jue's suggestion was ridiculous, she wanted nothing more than to let Ning Caier become invisible in the banquet hall, how could she possibly be brought to the front of the stage?
"If you don't want to, then forget it. Cai'er, go and change your clothes."
Ouyang Jue knew Ning Caier's ability, altering a set of clothes on the spot was just a small problem. Ning Caier understood tacitly, she scattered all of the colourful eye shadow on the table onto her skirt, and casually sprayed the water on it, turning it into a magnificent sunset. Although the layers of colors made her look even more outstanding, it was still different from the clothes that Xu Mengyun was wearing.
Ouyang Jue secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but he quickly discovered that he was in big trouble today, because the person who should not have appeared the most was actually here.
"CEO Ouyang, Han Yuqi is here."
The bodyguard at the door reported in a low voice by Ouyang Jue's ear. Although Han Yuqi was holding the invitation card, he had long been blacklisted on the TiaoAo Group, so no one was allowed to have any contact with him. Now that he had suddenly appeared in such a grand occasion, it would inevitably cause everyone to doubt the origins of the invitation card.
"Why is he here?"
When Ouyang Jue heard about the invitation card, he knew that it might be related to Ning Caier. Amongst all the invitations, the only one that did not have a name was Ning Caier, which made him even more worried.
Her face was flushed red, and he stood at the side with his head lowered, obviously knowing about what had happened. However, there were too many people around, so Ouyang Jue couldn't ask her directly, so he could only temporarily go to the door, in case any of the other guests saw Han Yuqi and caused an unnecessary commotion.
What Ouyang Jue wanted was for Han Yuqi and Bai Youya to attack him, he just did not expect them to clash directly with him during the engagement banquet after being silent for a few days, but how could they afford to fight directly now?
"Ouyang, what happened?" When Xu Mengyun saw Ouyang Jue's expression suddenly change, she knew that something was amiss with the engagement banquet, but the ceremony was about to start, and he had to be there as the male owner, "No matter what happens, we can go after the engagement ceremony."
Xu Mengyun held onto Ouyang Jue's arm, afraid that he would abandon her. Today's situation was too complicated for her to handle, so she decided to follow Ouyang Jue. The bridegroom and the bride-to-be would disappear at the same time, it was better than others saying that she was an abandoned wife.
"Nothing big, just a rather special guest. If you want to, come with me." Ouyang Jue knew Han Yuqi's recent situation. He still had to take care of that troublesome Miss White and he definitely would not die together with him. His goal should be related to money, bringing Xu Mengyun along so that she would not fall into Han Yuqi's trap.
"Miss Ning, I'll have to trouble you to stay here and not run around until I return." Hearing Ouyang Jue's agreement, he immediately tightened his grip on her, but she was still worried about Ning Caier, and got people to lock her up in the bride's room to watch over her, so that she wouldn't cause any more trouble.
This matter just happened to fit Ouyang Jue's plan, and separating Ning Caier and Ning Caier was the most important matter at hand. Otherwise, that man would definitely plot against Ning Caier.
He just did not know how much Han Yuqi knew about him. It was that some flaw had appeared in him, allowing this man to realize that he still liked Ning Caier, or perhaps he had no other choice but to come here and take the final gamble.
"Congratulations CEO Ouyang, you are going to get engaged again. I wonder how long this engagement can last?"
When Han Yuqi came out with Xu Mengyun, his heart sunk a little. He lowered the hand that was tightly holding onto the document pouch, because he knew very clearly that no matter how Ouyang Jue felt about Ning Caier, as long as Xu Mengyun was there, she would definitely not agree to give him the money. So he purposely said something to enrage her, forcing Ouyang Jue to hand him over for a talk.
"There are a lot of changes in this world. I need to be happy, and the most important thing is that Ouyang Jue is now my fiancé."
Xu Mengyun spoke very easily as she looked at Han Yuqi, who was dressed in all his clothes, and smiled a little weirdly. In the many years in the business world, how could she not see that this kind of simple method to goad her was useless? The more this man wanted to push her away, the more unfavorable this matter would be for Ouyang Jue.
"Miss Xu is indeed open-minded, but that's right. The Void Dragon and False Phoenix are just acting, what does time matter? But if you don't see what's in this folder, you'll regret it, because it's big enough for one of us at today's party. "
Han Yuqi did not expect Xu Mengyun to be so calm, so he purposely shouted loudly at the door, causing all the guests to look away. The bodyguards by the side immediately pushed to the ground, and they tried to cover his mouth to drag him out, but such an intense scene would only cause more and more people to pay attention.
"Take him to the guest room upstairs."
Most of the guests in this engagement ceremony of Ouyang Jue's had rushed over from outside the city, so he specially reserved a hotel for those guests that were unable to return home after the banquet. He remembered that the rooms on the first floor were all empty, so he made people bring Han Yuqi there, so as to not affect the mood of the other guests.
Xu Mengyun wanted to continue to follow him, but this time, Ouyang Jue stopped him. He had to know what was in Han Yuqi's document bag, if it was only the Heavenly Pride's secret, then it had nothing to do with him, but if it was related to Ning Caier, then he had to know how serious this matter was.
"Go and calm the guests down so that everyone doesn't have to think too much. I guarantee that they will be here within half an hour."
Ouyang Jue had already heard the quiet discussion of the surrounding guests. He didn't want this matter to continue to ferment, so he could only temporarily stabilize the situation when the female protagonist, Xu Mengyun, appeared in front of everyone with a smile plastered across her face.
This time, Xu Mengyun did not persevere, she nodded and returned to the banquet hall, holding her wine cup as she began to socialize with him. Han Yuqi's actions were very quickly interpreted as he wanted to struggle to the death, because they had bought the Bai's disease, and destroyed his and Bai Youya's plans.
This statement quickly stabilized the mood of the guests. They all felt that Han Yuqi was just bluffing, if he really had something in his hands that could be exchanged for money, he would have already taken it out.
The reason he came here today was to see him alone, or at least to get the money. It didn't matter what kind of relationship he had with Ning Caier, as he was already clear about the relationship between them, and the mere sight of the invitation card in Ouyang Jue's hand was already enough to show that his relationship with Ning Caier was still close. It was just that he had moved it from the ground to the ground.
"If you have something to say, just say it. I'm very busy today, so I don't have time to chat with you here."
Ouyang Jue spoke in a straightforward manner, he knew that Xu Mengyun would not be able to stay down there for too long, thus he directly took the document pouch over, and the contents inside were no different from what he had imagined. As expected, it was about Ning Caier, and Han Yuqi had a very scheming mind.
