C140 His Protection
Ou Jingyi forced herself to remain calm, but the more she tried, the more she didn't dare to look into his eyes.
"Ou Jingyi, can you explain to me what's going on?" Ou Jia Rui didn't call Jingjing, but called her by her full name. It could be seen that his patience with Ou Jingyi had reached a certain limit.
Ou Jingyi stiffened her neck, "The two of you aren't suitable at all, and you don't even have any foundation for feelings, why must you be together? I helped her move just in time to help you solve a problem. You're angry right now, but you'll be grateful to me in the future. "
I couldn't help but smile. The usually naughty and impulsive Ou Jingyi was actually lecturing Ou Jia Rui in an experienced tone.
The veins on Ou Jia Rui's temples throbbed, "That's my problem, you should take care of yourself first. Let's see if you're too free these days. From today onwards, your credit card will no longer be under my name. Work hard to support your expenses. When it's time to mature, come and enjoy the benefits brought to you by the Ou family name."
Ou Jingyi's face instantly turned pale. What mistakes did Ou Jiayi commit in the past, Ou Jia Rui would at most verbally threaten or criticize them. This time, she directly took action, obviously leaving her at a loss.
Not daring to throw a tantrum at Ou Jia Rui, Ou Jingyi directly vented all of her anger and unwillingness onto me. I could even feel the rage that surged out from her pair of charming phoenix eyes.
Zhou Xinyao, you really are something. You taunted me in the outside world, but in the Ou Family, you instigated the relationship between Jia Rui and I. I've really underestimated your methods. I had heard so many harsh words that my mind was numb.
However, there was one thing that I had to clarify. "Miss Ou, can you tell me which outsider mocked you in front of the only famous lady I know in B City? Who am I going to find to ridicule you?"
These words were from the bottom of my heart. Although I was now Ou Jia Rui's wife, I knew that the ladies in my circle were definitely not on the same side as me, so I always took a respectful attitude. Other than Meng Shuzhen, Lin Qian, and the others, I didn't have any close friends with Ou Jingyi.
I continued, "I've just told you that I've never said bad things about you in front of anyone before. However, there are times when I can understand you as a mother and daughter, and it's not something that can be cut off easily. It's just that I still want to kindly remind you that you shouldn't be the fool that gets used by others."
Ou Jingyi stood at the side and did not say anything. It was unknown if it was because my words had really made a difference, making her realize that she had become a chess piece for others to use against me, or if it was because she was in the wrong, but in front of Ou Jia Rui, there was nothing to refute.
After I finished speaking, I found a book of poems on my luggage and sat on the sofa, casually flipping through it as if it were none of my business, waiting for O'Jia Rui to finish.
After listening to my blabbering, Ou Jia Rui gave me a meaningful look, but didn't continue the topic I just talked about.
He then said to Ou Jingyi, "Go back and reflect on it, you're a married man after all, don't act like a child and act as you please. I can protect you for a while but I can't protect you for the rest of your life, you should grow up now."
From the looks of it, Ou Jia Rui really did have the attitude of an elder teaching a junior to Ou Jingyi.
Ou Jingyi still did not say anything. Perhaps she still hadn't recovered from the shock of having her economy cut off by Oji Rui. Although I don't know much about Lin Qian's financial strength, because most of the time we were together, I didn't pay too much. At that time, I naively believed that as long as we were serious together, there was no need to care who paid more.
However, I still understand Lin Qian's personality. He shouldn't be willing to hand over the money that he painstakingly earned to Ou Jingyi for him to squander. Furthermore, the purchasing power of Ou Jingyi wasn't something that an ordinary family could afford. Without Ou Jia Rui's support, it would probably be difficult for Ou Jingyi to live a good life in the future.
Tears started to well up in Ou Jingyi's eyes, but in the end, she turned and left the Ou Family without saying anything.
When he treats you well, he can take everything you want and give you everything you want. Once you cross his bottom line, he can also take all the benefits back in one night. I'm actually very afraid that Ou Jingyi will be my future self.
"I'm sorry, I let you suffer, Jingjing bullied you, why did you endure it, you can just counterattack or come to me for help, why do you have to suffer? If I came a little later today, would you really move out?" I let him hold me as he sat beside me, enjoying the warmth of the moment.
I smiled and said, "Are you saying that Ou Jingyi bullied me? This time, I feel like she's not the only one bullying me. Why didn't she come in earlier or later and move for me at this time?
"Are you talking about book hiring? I can assure you that although Jingjing has a willful and willful personality, the two of them are two completely different people. The book hiring isn't that kind of person who knows how to use tricks behind the scenes." I was very confused. Even though Ou Jia Rui had already seen Meng Shuzhen's ruthlessness and vanity when she was young, why did she still believe in her character so much?
It was probably because the feelings between them at that time were too young and beautiful. It had clouded Ou Jia Rui's judgement.
I pulled away from Ou Jia Rui's embrace and straightened my back. "Then did you know that Lady Meng personally visited the Ou family yesterday? She even wanted to share your sweet past with me with great interest, but my interest wasn't great. It might have disturbed her good mood."
Seeing that O'Jia Rui didn't respond, I became more and more aggressive. "Don't you think it's very strange? Why did this mother and daughter pair come here in succession within forty-eight hours? Is there such a coincidence in this world?
"Yep, don't think too much. I know that today's matter with Jingjing has caused you to suffer. Yesterday's appointment with a student also made you unhappy, but these two matters might not be related." I was very displeased by his attitude that he was still absolutely protecting Meng.
"Do you mind if I borrow your cell phone? I'll prove to you if there's any connection between these two matters."
The confused Ou Jia Rui didn't know what to do, but she still handed me her phone.
I found Meng Shuwen's number and dialed it without hesitation. The call was quickly connected within a few seconds, as if there was someone waiting at the other end of the cable for Ojira's call.
"Hello, are you Jia Rui?" Meng Shufu's voice was filled with unconcealable surprise. It was even softer than every time he had seen her before.
The smile on my face became even colder. "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Madam Meng. Hello, I'm Zhou Xinyao."
The other side paused for a moment, as if she had been shocked. After a few seconds of relaxation, she returned to her usual dignified, calm and poised demeanor. "Oh, it's Miss Zhou. What business do you have with me?"
I got straight to the point. "I just want to ask you, why are you making up things that I haven't done before? Is it interesting for you to do this? Are you trying to make use of the conflict between us to create an opportunity to enter?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Zhou. I don't know what I did wrong to make you so angry. If it was because I rashly came to thank you yesterday, then I apologize and have caused you so much trouble." Meng Shufu's voice sounded soft and weak, but it was filled with certainty. He insisted that he had never done anything to slander me.
I continued to use extremely sarcastic words to provoke Meng Shuzhen, "I didn't know that you all like using dirty water on others. If not for what you did in the middle, I would have asked you why she suddenly came to my house to argue with me, and even chased me out of the Ou Family."
For the first time, I felt that my acting skills weren't bad, and I expressed all of the anger and grievance in my heart. After being plotted against so many times by Ou Jingyi, I was humiliated in front of everyone, and I lost my children, and I lost my qualifications to continue cultivating again and again.
O'Jia Rui looked at me as if she was thinking about something, but she didn't interrupt my conversation with Meng Shuzhen.
After being together for so long, the most useful thing I learned from Ou Jia Rui was that no matter how angry you are, you have to at least maintain your calm and coldness on the surface. It's best if you have a smile on your face, and that way, you won't let those people who want to make fun of you succeed.
Meng Shuzhen was still explaining some of the missing things.
I sneered, "Lady Meng, why are you still pretending to be a white lotus at such an age? Do you think I will believe someone who abandoned their own lover and biological daughter just because you swore on your own dignity?"
Sure enough, my harsh words and actions angered Meng Shuzhen. Her tone was no longer as gentle as before, but rather more forceful, "Miss Zhou, I haven't seen Jingjing in many years. Do you think that even if I come back, she will listen to me and go and cause trouble for you?"
A look of understanding appeared on my face. Meng Shufu then added, "Yes, Jia Rui and I once had an unforgettable love affair, but you can't attack me indiscriminately just because of our past, can you? Please respect me."
