Chapter 783: Chapter 0701: Cousin’s Engagement
"Hey, boss, I’ve got some good news for you!" Guan Yu suddenly wore a mischievous face, acting all mysterious.
"I’m about to win over Yu Shuang!"
Ye Qingfeng was taken aback, and after thinking for a while, he finally remembered who Yu Shuang was.
"Is that so, congratulations!"
Ye Qingfeng wasn’t too bothered. He even had a vague impression of what Yu Shuang looked like, just recalling that she was one of the top school beauties.
Wan Moting, on the other hand, shook his head secretly. Seeing how happy Guan Yu looked, he wasn’t sure if he should reveal the truth.
Though Yu Shuang looked pure, she was actually quite scheming. Her interest wasn’t because of Guan Yu; her target had always been Ye Qingfeng from the start.
They played cards in the dorm for a while. Around noon, Ye Qingfeng received a call from Ouyang Liluo.
"Did you drink too much last night? You didn’t even call me!"
Ouyang Liluo laughed over the phone.
"Ah, no, I was just playing cards with Guan Yu and the others, got too into it and forgot!"
Ye Qingfeng touched his nose, feeling quite embarrassed.
"Hmph, then come out and have lunch with me, and I’ll forgive you!"
Ouyang Liluo pretended to be angry. Ye Qingfeng couldn’t resist, bade farewell to the three, and quickly headed out.
Today, Ouyang Liluo was alone, without Yue Xiang as her companion, which secretly delighted Ye Qingfeng. Finally, no annoying third wheel.
"How did it go last night? Is your friend feeling better?"
In the canteen, Ouyang Liluo asked with a smile.
"Yeah, should be back on their feet!"
Ye Qingfeng nodded, suddenly looking at Ouyang Liluo with gentle eyes.
"Ouyang, if one day I lose everything and I’m no longer the world-famous Ye Jiujie, would you still like me?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Liluo was initially stunned and gently tapped Ye Qingfeng’s hand with her chopstick.
"You’re so silly. Asking such a question, do you want to make me angry?"
She gazed into Ye Qingfeng’s eyes, meeting his gaze, and said softly, "When we first met years ago, weren’t you without anything?"
She held Ye Qingfeng’s big hand, smiling gently. "What I like is you as a person. Whether you’re Ye Jiujie, the Ye Family’s young master, or whether you’re talented, what does it matter?"
She pinched Ye Qingfeng’s handsome face, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness.
"If one day you lose everything, I’ll support you!"
Ye Qingfeng’s gaze froze. The next moment, regardless of the occasion, he pulled Ouyang Liluo into a wild kiss, making her blush and roll her eyes at him.
Countless people around them turned red with envy, wishing they could replace Ye Qingfeng. This desecrating the goddess in such a way was simply intolerable.
Ye Qingfeng held Ouyang Liluo’s soft, boneless jade hand, grinning wide.
"Rest assured, your husband will always be the strongest in the world!"
Ouyang Liluo covered her mouth and laughed softly, gently poking Ye Qingfeng’s forehead.
"Such a braggart you are!"
They dined sweetly and warmly. Just as they were about to leave, Ouyang Liluo received a call from her father, Ouyang Donghai.
"Dad, hmm? Really, then I’ll ask him!"
Ouyang Liluo took the phone away and asked Ye Qingfeng.
"Feng, my dad wants me to attend a cousin’s engagement party and wants you to come along. Do you have time?"
"Engagement party?"
Ye Qingfeng, hearing this, spread his hands.
"When the lady invites, there’s always time!"
Ouyang Liluo heard this, smiled sweetly, and replied on the phone, "Dad, he agreed to go with me. Hmm, what? Just the two of us?"
It seemed Ouyang Donghai was explaining something over the phone to Ouyang Liluo, causing her to frown slightly but eventually agreeing.
"What’s up?"
Ye Qingfeng inquired.
"My dad says only you and I are going to the cousin’s engagement party. They’re not attending!"
Ouyang Liluo replied.
"Just the two of us?" Ye Qingfeng was very puzzled. Normally, elders should attend such a banquet, but Ouyang Donghai only let them go, which seemed very unusual.
Ouyang Liluo sighed, "Actually, my dad doesn’t want to go back, but since it’s his niece’s engagement, having no one from our side attend is a bit inappropriate, so he wants us to just go through the motions."
"Back in his youth, my dad had quite a big argument with my grandpa and ventured out to start a business in Zhonghai. Their relationship has been tense ever since. Although he’s made a name for himself in Zhonghai, grandpa still doesn’t recognize his achievements and often criticizes him over the phone. That’s why he doesn’t want to go back!"
"Thankfully, grandpa cares for me. I can at least talk to him, so dad thinks it’s best for me to go back, deliver a gift, and smooth things over."
Ye Qingfeng finally understood why Ouyang Donghai was reluctant to attend and let them two take on the task.
"The engagement party is the day after tomorrow, so we need to set off today or tomorrow. We can’t be rushing and just on time!"
Ye Qingfeng nodded in agreement, "Alright, let’s head over tomorrow morning. I’ll accompany my wife to meet my future grandpa, ha!"
Ouyang Liluo blushed but didn’t object. She had already chosen Ye Qingfeng, with no room for anyone else in her heart.
In Zhonghai, Ouyang Donghai and Lianhua sat in the living room. Lianhua, looking puzzled, said, "Ruo Hua, why don’t you go back? We’ve found such an outstanding son-in-law. Isn’t it a perfect opportunity to show him off to grandpa, to finally feel proud?"
Ouyang Donghai shook his head, snorted, "Of course I know that, but I have a better idea!"
"Xiao Feng is so capable. If grandpa and my brother find out, how would they react? They might call me to strengthen ties immediately. Then, I can make a show, returning to the Ouyang Family rightfully. That’s the best outcome!"
"I want them to understand that it’s not me willingly returning to the Ouyang Family, but them inviting me back."
Hearing this, Lianhua couldn’t help but be amazed. Her husband indeed thought deeper and further than she did. The two of them exchanged a glance, seeing the pride in each other’s eyes.
This time, they could proudly stand in the Ouyang Family, sweeping away all past grievances.
With the world’s strongest son-in-law by their side, could they possibly still be overlooked by the Ouyang family members?
At the Changzhou Airport in Xiangnan City, Eastern Base, a handsome young boy of about sixteen or seventeen, looking like a high school student, sat on the hood of a limited-edition Mercedes, holding a cigarette single-handedly, exuding an air of flair and coolness. He attracted many girls, secretly stealing glances full of admiration.
He looked at his watch, feeling a bit impatient, "Aren’t they here yet?"
Right then, a sweet, familiar voice came from the direction of the airport exit.
"Xiao Lin!"
The boy immediately beamed with joy. Looking over, he saw his favorite cousin, Ouyang Liluo, waving gently at him.
