Chapter 790: Chapter 0708: Are You Confused?
"Yes, Aunt Li, I just arrived today to visit Grandpa. Is he awake?"
Ouyang Liluo replied politely.
"The master just woke up and was just talking about you. He’s in the living room now; you can go in directly!"
When Aunt Li saw Ouyang Liluo holding Ye Qingfeng’s hand, she immediately showed a teasing smile.
Unexpectedly, this usually composed and elegant young lady has also found her little lover.
Ye Qingfeng walked steadily and entered the living room of the independent villa with Ouyang Liluo. An old man was sitting with his back to them, holding a newspaper and reading with interest.
"Grandpa!"
Ouyang Liluo called out with a sweet smile when she saw the old man.
"Hmm?"
The old man was clearly taken aback. He put down the newspaper and turned his head, revealing a square and dignified face that exuded a touch of authority.
The old man was none other than the head of the Ouyang Family, Ouyang Heng.
"Is that Liluo girl?"
Seeing Ouyang Liluo, a rare smile appeared on Ouyang Heng’s dignified face, but when he saw her holding Ye Qingfeng’s arm, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Who are you?"
Ouyang Heng’s cold gaze swept directly at Ye Qingfeng, and the atmosphere in the living room suddenly changed.
Ouyang Liluo was greatly astonished; she couldn’t understand why Ouyang Heng’s tone suddenly turned icy.
Ye Qingfeng looked calmly into Ouyang Heng’s eyes.
"I am Ouyang Liluo’s boyfriend. My surname is Ye, and my name is Qingfeng!"
His voice was neither humble nor arrogant, which left Ouyang Heng slightly surprised.
He had been in a high position for many years and naturally developed an extraordinary aura. Ordinary young people would tremble just by meeting his gaze, feeling extremely uncomfortable. But in Ye Qingfeng, he saw only boundless calmness.
This made Ouyang Heng regard him a bit more highly, but thinking of his considerations, his gaze suddenly darkened, and he spoke coldly.
"Liluo girl’s boyfriend? Hmph!
"I’m her grandfather, and I don’t approve of you being her boyfriend!"
"I don’t approve!"
Ouyang Heng’s forceful words echoed in the living room, and Ouyang Liluo’s face instantly changed.
Since she returned to the Ouyang Family, Ouyang Heng had always been very kind to her, completely like a benevolent elder. She genuinely respected this grandfather from the bottom of her heart, but now his reaction made her feel like a different person.
"Grandpa..."
Just as Ouyang Liluo was about to speak, Ye Qingfeng chuckled softly and suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Why do you say that, Mr. Ouyang?"
He looked directly at Ouyang Heng, and the intention he had of treating him as an elder was instantly dispelled.
Treat others with respect, and they will respect you. He, Ye Jiujie, defied the world. Since others tried to put him in his place from the get-go, he couldn’t possibly greet them with a smile.
If not for Ouyang Heng’s relationship with Ouyang Liluo, he would have spoken arrogantly long ago. Even the sect masters and elders of the Great Sects had to bow their heads in front of him, so why would he pay this old man, Ouyang Heng, any mind?
The Ouyang Family might be strong in Changzhou, but he could crush it with a single hand, obliterating it in an instant.
Ouyang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly. Under his powerful aura and cold verbal assault, others would have long changed their complexion, yet Ye Qingfeng remained calm, enhancing Ouyang Heng’s evaluation of him a bit more.
But his eyes still remained cold, and his face extraordinarily stern.
"Because she belongs to the Ouyang Family. She’s my granddaughter, Ouyang Heng’s granddaughter. Her boyfriend must be a dragon among men. To become her boyfriend, you aren’t qualified enough!"
Listening to Ouyang Heng’s slightly disdainful words, Ye Qingfeng smiled calmly and said, "Is that so? A dragon among men?"
"Just from a first meeting, you’re able to judge a person’s depth as the so-called head of the Ouyang Family? You’ve really opened my eyes."
Ye Qingfeng’s tone carried a hint of mockery, and Ouyang Heng, of course, could hear it, but with decades of experience and now nearing eighty, he had seen all kinds of people and had confidence in his ability to judge character, believing that he never misjudged.
"Young man, I must admit, you indeed have some abilities. Facing me, you can still talk calmly, and among the younger generation, your disposition is quite praiseworthy!"
Ouyang Heng’s tone shifted as he spoke seriously, "But based on that alone, it’s still far from enough. Liluo girl is the Ouyang Family’s treasure, and I have already arranged her marriage!"
"Arranged?" Ouyang Liluo was shocked and questioned incredulously, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? When did you arrange a marriage for me?"
She was completely unaware of this matter, but Ouyang Heng’s expression didn’t seem like he was lying, which made her both shocked and angry.
"Liluo girl, I’ll discuss this matter with your parents later. You must remember, you are part of the Ouyang Family. This is your identity; always keep it in mind!"
Ouyang Heng did not explain, looking at Ouyang Liluo with rare sharpness in his eyes.
Ouyang Liluo found it hard to believe that her usually gentle grandfather had suddenly turned into this and even presumptuously decided on a marriage for her.
Ye Qingfeng said nothing, and Ouyang Heng looked at Ye Qingfeng without even standing up, taking out a check from the drawer.
"Young man, I can see you truly like Liluo girl, but unfortunately, your level cannot match ours in the Ouyang Family!"
He waved the check in his hand: "This is a check for two million, hoping you will voluntarily leave Liluo girl. Consider it as compensation from me, Ouyang Heng!"
Ouyang Liluo was also anxious at this moment. The person he had arranged for her to marry would appear at Ouyang Xuan’s engagement banquet tomorrow. If they saw Ouyang Liluo bringing a boyfriend, how would that person react?
He did not want the strong network of relationships he had painstakingly built to crumble due to such a minor mistake, as it would be a loss beyond measure for him and the Ouyang Family.
Moreover, the other party’s identity and background were ones he couldn’t afford to offend. If one was not careful, the entire Ouyang Family might be destroyed, a century-old family business ruined overnight.
Ye Qingfeng’s gaze, which was previously calm and composed, turned cold upon seeing the check.
"Old man, you’ve been cooped up in this shabby house for so long that you’ve become dull-witted!"
He spoke indifferently, and both Ouyang Liluo and Ouyang Heng’s expressions changed.
Ouyang Heng glared at Ye Qingfeng, speaking coldly, "What did you say?"
The Ouyang Family dominated Changzhou, and he sat at the top. Even Meng Hua, the top disciple of the Primordial Battle Sect, was polite to him. When had any young person dared to speak to him like this?
"I said, you’re senile!"
Facing Ouyang Heng’s anger, Ye Qingfeng grinned coldly.
"Out of respect for Liluo, I’m not considering things too deeply with your Ouyang Family, but that’s no reason for you to overstep your bounds!"
"Old man, let me tell you, without Liluo, your Ouyang Family is nothing more than grass in my eyes!"
He directly pointed at Ouyang Heng, causing Ouyang Heng’s beard to puff with rage.
