"I didn't expect him to dare to do such a thing!"
Ouyang Jue knew that Ouyang Gu was trying to force her into a palace. He didn't want the marriage between him and Xu Mengyun to drag on indefinitely, which was why he announced the date of their marriage.
However, if he dared to cancel the engagement, he would immediately bring Ouyang Jue's mother out to suppress him. And what was even more terrifying was that this wedding had already informed his mother, so no matter how unhealthy she was, he would definitely leave the island to attend her son's wedding.
If his mother only said that it was a misunderstanding when Ouyang Jue appeared, then she would definitely fall down head first and never be able to stand up again. Xu Mengyun could not afford to bet on this matter, and he even more so could not afford to.
"What we need to think about now is what we should do. It's impossible for the media to keep such big news a secret for long, not to mention if Uncle Ouyang insists on announcing it, there's nothing we can do about it."
Although Xu Mengyun liked Ouyang Jue, she didn't want others to force her to marry. This made her feel that he had become a puppet, and that he only needed to follow someone's instructions and appear in a certain position.
Furthermore, Qin Lang had already been discharged, the doctor said that his current situation was normal. If he took the chance to attack during the chaos in Ouyang Family to change the administrative structure and redistribute authority to the people in the TiaoAo Group, the people on the board of directors would probably be undetermined and make confused decisions, at that time, there would be no way to reverse everything that had happened.
Although the Xu Family and the Ouyang Family were not truly related by marriage, they had already had a lot of interactions regarding business. Once the interior of the Sky Ao Continent became chaotic, the Xu Group would not be spared either.
Ouyang Jue naturally understood what Xu Mengyun was saying. Right now, TiaoAo Group was basically suffering from internal and external troubles, especially that Ouyang Gu who actually chose to create trouble for him and not fight against external enemies together. It was clear that he wanted to force him into a desperate situation and make him marry Xu Mengyun no matter what.
He immediately called Ouyang Gu's number to tell him not to mess around, but this old man did not listen to him. He actually started to disappear at this time, allowing Ouyang Jue to suffer like an ant on the hotpot.
Ouyang Gu was actually moving around right under Ouyang Jue's nose, but he was not here for business, nor was she here to see her own son. The person he wanted to see was Ning Caier, because she was the one who made the perfect breakthrough in the matter of Ouyang Jue and Xu Mengyun's wedding.
"Miss Ning, let's talk."
Ouyang Gu appeared inside the TiaoAo Group like a Magus. He blocked Ning Caier's path from the CEO's office to the Design Department, the TiaoAo Group was once his world, so he knew the result very well. If Ning Caier disappeared from here, then both Xiao Ningyuan and Ouyang Jue would think that she was at her place, and they wouldn't be able to sense her for a short period of time.
Ning Caier was a little hesitant, she turned to look at the lift, not knowing if she should go and discuss it with Ouyang Jue, but Ouyang Gu's identity was unique, towards the chairman of the TiaoAo Group, whether it was for business or private matters, Ning Caier could not reject, so after pausing for a moment, she obediently nodded her head.
"That's right, there is no benefit in going against the people of Ouyang Family."
Ouyang Gu looked at Ning Caier with a fierce gaze. He used her withered fingers to grab onto Ning Caier's sleeves and attempted to bring her to the elevator. This action of her was extremely rude and Ning Caier couldn't help but want to struggle, but the skinny old man's strength was not weak.
This place shared a floor just like Ouyang Jue's office. At the beginning, Ning Caier was still a little nervous, but after seeing that Ouyang Gu did not take any further actions, her heart slowly calmed down. She silently took a deep breath behind Ouyang Gu, reminding herself that he was Ouyang Jue's father, and her future father-in-law.
Other than A Jue, there is no one else in TiaoAo Group who is not afraid of me. However, I do not plan to touch you, otherwise, you would not be able to walk this place.
Ouyang Gu heard the heavy breathing from behind him and immediately scolded Ning Caier. Although he was old, but she was still considered fit and strong, but he was not stupid enough to be in possession of the same woman as her own son. If that happened, the relationship between the father and son would be irreparable.
"Uncle Ouyang, I've never thought of that before." Ning Caier quickly explained. She did not suspect that Ouyang Gu was an old man that disrespected others, it was purely due to the nervousness of meeting an elder. She knew that Ouyang Gu would not hurt her, it was just that her sudden summons made her at a loss of what to do.
"Uncle is not someone you can call me. You have to call me Chairman Ouyang." Ouyang Gu glared at Ning Caier and felt that she was extremely daring. Don't think that just because Ouyang Jue spoiled her, she thinks that she and Ouyang Family are a family.
"Wait inside." Ouyang Gu pushed Ning Caier into the chairman's office. At the same time, she also locked the elevator and the staircase, as well as other places that she could enter. He didn't want anyone to disturb their conversation, especially Ouyang Jue.
She took out her phone and wanted to give Ouyang Jue a call, but thinking that doing so would cause the father and son pair to become even more tense, she kept her phone in her pocket, standing there extremely respectfully, waiting for Ouyang Gu's order.
"I've come to find you for no other reason, but there's something I want you to see."
Ouyang Gu sat on the sofa opposite of Ning Caier, maintaining a distance of more than two meters away from her. Such a distance made Ning Caier feel extremely safe, she immediately straightened her body and waited for Ouyang Gu's instructions.
"You should be able to read, right?" Ouyang Gu took out the wedding invitation for Ouyang Jue and Xu Mengyun. This was a sample from the time when he was printing the wedding invitation, other than the fact that the person's name was still empty, the rest of the areas were already filled with gold coloured words. Ouyang Gu liked this traditional style, she chose red on the bottom of the wedding invitation and burned gold on it.
These photos were all prepared for the engagement ceremony, so Ouyang Jue was extremely cooperative with the photos. The two of them were smiling inside, and it was not possible to tell that they were faking the engagement.
This photo and each of the words on the invitation card stung Ning Caier's eyes. If the names on the invitation card belonged to someone else, she would definitely treat these two as a loving couple. This was because Ouyang Jue and Xu Mengyun seemed to be so compatible, so anyone would say that they were a match made in heaven.
She had no choice but to hold the invitation card very close, and carefully look at each and every word, she suddenly realised that she did not recognize Ouyang Jue's name anymore.
"How could they marry?"
Ning Caier muttered to herself. Ouyang Jue had clearly said that everyone in the Ouyang Family knew that his engagement with Xu Mengyun was fake, but why did Ouyang Gu take out such a thing?
"Chairman Ouyang, I know that this question might be very presumptuous, but aren't CEO Ouyang and your faked engagement? Why are you still holding the wedding?"
Ning Caier's voice trembled a little. She tried her best to organize her words, but the question that came out of her mouth was not the least bit tactful, because she really did not know how to tactfully raise such a question. She had always thought of him as a single man, but now she suddenly felt despicable, as if she had stepped into someone else's marriage.
Sometimes, he would lie in order to please girls, but you should be clear on one thing, your family background is not compatible with the Ouyang Family, even if he does not marry Xu Mengyun, you will still be a young miss from a Wealthy Class, I am afraid a woman like you will need to be reborn to be married into a family.
Ouyang Gu laughed dryly twice, he felt that Ning Caier was too naive to actually believe a man's lies. She had also told the women beside him the lies that she was supposed to divorce, but they all knew that it was just a joke, how could it be true.
Furthermore, this matter had already been announced to all the media outlets. There was also a grand engagement ceremony between them, so how could such a ceremony be possible?
"But he clearly said …" Ning Caier's tears couldn't help but fall, and directly wet the marriage invitation card. The warm liquid slowly melted on top of it, but was unable to erase the words written on it. She believed that Ouyang Jue would not lie to her, but she could also feel the fury that came from the bottom of her heart.
At this time, she suddenly had an illusion that she did not know who to trust. There was only a loud buzzing sound left in her ears, as if she could not hear anything, but at the same time, she seemed to be able to hear every single word clearly. Ouyang Gu's voice continuously broke into her ears, causing her head to hurt even more.
"I will emphasize the rules of the Ouyang Family once again. I don't object to Ouyang Jue raising you up to be a Little Madam, but if you want to be able to distinguish between a high and low position, the mistress of the Heavenly Pride can only be Xu Mengyun. You must know how to avoid her, because if today's events were to happen again, I definitely wouldn't let you off.
Ouyang Gu was someone who had experienced it before, and when he saw the wrinkles on Ning Caier's skirt, he knew what she had done in Ouyang Jue's office. That office had the aura of many women, including Ouyang Gu, but the situation was different now.
"You should leave this place during this period of time and come back after Ouyang Jue and his marriage. I will give you the living expenses during this period of time."
The amount written on the cheque was not small enough for Ning Caier to live for a few years. He had said it very clearly, if Ouyang Jue did not come back after the marriage, then this money would be her breakup fee. In the future, she would not be able to return to the TiaoAo Group's sphere of influence.
"There's no need, Chairman Ouyang. I'm not with Ouyang Jue because of money." Ning Caier returned the cheque. She knew that if she accepted the money, everything between her and Ouyang Jue would turn into a kind of transaction.
Don't pretend to be so noble, you kept saying that it was not for the money, but the grace you received was more than the money. Do you know how much money and blood the TiaoAo Group spent to get rid of Han Yuqi, and how many resources the spent to help you?
