C61 The Smell of Gunpowder Is Getting Stronger

It even gave me the illusion that I had forcibly taken over the position that belonged only to her CEO to begin with.

"I already have a secretary, and you're not suitable for this position."

"Why am I not suitable? Whether it's my education or ability, which part of me is inferior to her?" Ou Jingyi was a little anxious.

What you study in university is design, and you're also very interested in that part. My secretary mainly does administrative and planning work, which happens to be the perfect match for Zhou Xinyao's specialty. You go to the design department and become a deputy director first; the chief designer is your senior who graduated from the same school as you.

Ou Jingyi was very dissatisfied, "It's not bad for me to learn more about planning and administration, why can't I let her work in another department?"

"Since you asked me to arrange a job for you in the Ou Family, I thought you wanted to learn something properly. The things I arranged for you must be the most suitable for you, otherwise, it's better for you to be a jobless person."

The threat in Ou Jia Rui's words was self-evident.

Ou Jingyi pouted, and wanted to say something more, but she still admitted defeat to Ojwin in the end.

"Then I'm going to report to the design department now?" Ou Jingyi reluctantly left the CEO's office.

"Why don't you go back to your job and strike in front of the boss?"

I smiled as I returned to my seat, knowing that my following days wouldn't be easy. Originally, as Ou Jia Rui's wife, I had already become a thorn in her side, a thorn in her side. Now that I have taken over the position that she wants the most, I'm afraid that I'll have to go against my will in the future.

As of noon, when she got off work, she had come to the CEO's office no less than ten times for all sorts of reasons. Every time I passed my position, I would faintly brush my sleeves or the ends of my hair against me. I found it funny, even though I was already in my twenties, my behavior was still that of a child's prank.

Ou Jia Rui displayed a helpless expression. "It's good that you decide for yourself. If you feel that you can't make a decision, you can just tell your boss. Her authority can directly review your work."

Ou Jingyi could no longer find a reason, and the office regained its peace for a moment.

However, I took a look at my own design that Ou Jingyi had given to Ou Jia Rui. Although it wasn't as good as the current chief designer of the design department or a lot of other outstanding designers of the Ou family, it was still amazing enough.

As soon as he felt that faint sense of inferiority, Ou Jia Rui sensed it. "You and her are in different majors. There's no way to compare your papers with her blueprints."

He could always sense the sensitive heart beneath my hard shell, but he was the one who allowed someone like him, who was constantly thinking of ways to attack me, to stay in the Ou Family. Sometimes, Ou Jia Rui was also a contradictory person.

When it was time for lunch, O'Jia Rui and I decided to go to the employee dining hall to eat a casual meal before returning to rest. Just as we walked out of the office and prepared to take the CEO's private elevator down, the elevator door just opened.

It was the haunting Ou Jingyi again.

"Jia Rui, where are you going to eat? I don't want to go back. Let's eat together." Ou Jingyi pushed me to the side and followed her to the staff dining room.

The three of us walked side by side towards the staff dining room. As Ou Jingyi and I walked on either side of Ou Jia Rui, we attracted a lot of attention from the employees.

Even if he didn't really want to eat with Ou Jingyi, with his demeanor and cultivation, he still took the initiative to serve the two ladies, Ou Jingyi and me.

"It's fine if you don't go home to eat. In the future, you should go home and eat with the Lin Clan." O'Jia Rui casually said to Ou Jingyi as she cut the steak for me.

"Why?" Ou Jingyi's mood plummeted because of these words.

At this time, Ou Jia Rui really looked like a well-mannered parent who gave Ou Jingyi an ideological education. "You and Lin Qian are already married, so you still have to settle your relationship with your parents. Old people's favorite thing is to have a family that can reunite and be together."

"Hmph, I don't care what they do, I've long since stopped wanting to be with Lin Qian." Ou Jingyi rolled her eyes, and even suddenly said to me, "Luckily you two didn't get together in the end, those two old things are so troublesome, even a single person wouldn't be able to take it."

I stuck a bite of steak in my mouth and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She felt that Ou Jingyi was too reckless. After all, she still had Lin Qian's child in her womb, and such a hasty divorce was an irresponsible action for her and her child.

Ou Jia Rui's next words completely shocked me. "You two are still young. Although you can't keep your child, you still have the chance in the future. You can't talk about divorce if you run into any problems."

"Who wants to give her children?" What Ou Jingyi said made sense, but this sentence unwittingly caused her to be shot while lying on the ground silently while eating.

No wonder the day at the hospital when Ou Jingyi held onto her stomach in such pain, no wonder Ou Jia Rui had been visiting her so often recently, it was because the child was gone.

As a mother, I still feel a little sad for her child, but at the same time a little envious that she will be able to live her own life without worry.

At the same time, another thought appeared in my mind. If Ou Jingyi and Lin Qian didn't even have the last restraint to a child, then Ou Jingyi would be able to focus on pestering Ou Jia Rui even more.

I didn't listen to the rest of the conversation between Ou Jia Rui and Ou Jingyi anymore. My mind was filled with my own random thoughts. It wasn't until Ou Jia Rui reminded me that there was no soup left that I awkwardly put down the empty spoon in my mouth.

Regardless of whether Ou Jia Rui and I were eating at the staff dining hall or at home, Ou Jingyi would always follow us. After so long, I had gotten used to Ou Jingyi's sarcastic tone and was able to ignore her without batting an eyelid.

After completing the design department's work ahead of time today, she ran to the CEO's office to brush up on Ou Jia Rui's presence.

I couldn't stand the noise anymore, so I got up and left the office, ready to make myself a glass of milk to quell my fatigue. "Where are you going?" Ochira suddenly asked me.

"I'll go get a glass of milk."

"I'm a bit sleepy too. Can you make me a cup of coffee?"

I nodded and was about to walk out when Ou Jingyi suddenly said, "Let me do it, I'm the best at making your favorite Blue Mountain Coffee. Back when I was at home, I often grinded the coffee beans with my own hands."

I shrugged my shoulders to show that I didn't care so much and left, followed by Ou Jingyi.

In the tea room, my milk and Ojairi's coffee beans were kept in the same refrigerator, so I couldn't have any conversation with Ojie.

"Zhou Xinyao, I actually don't understand why you're willing to marry Jia Rui after knowing that you're my so-called mother's double."

I didn't directly answer Ou Jingyi's question, but just put my milk in the microwave. At the same time, I asked her a question, "Then what about you, since you know that the one Jia Rui likes is your mother and you're married yourself, why aren't you willing to let go?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Ouyang Jingyi was not curious.

I shrugged. "That's what I want to say to you."

"Hmph."

"Ding!" My milk had already warmed up, because I was in a hurry to leave the teahouse and wasn't willing to stay in the same room with Ou Jingyi. I was a little distracted, forgetting that the cup I just heated was very hot and directly took it out with my hand.

"What's the matter with you?" Ou Jingyi was startled by my exclamation.

"I'm fine." When I squatted down to break the jewelry cup, my finger was accidentally cut.

After cleaning everything up, I was no longer in the mood for drinking milk. I found a couple of Band-Aid's in the company medicine cabinet and casually cleaned up the burns and pricks on my hands before returning to the office.

"Why didn't you drink milk?"

"Nothing, I suddenly don't want to drink anymore." Subconsciously, I tried to hide my injured hand, but it was still discovered by Ojaru.

"What happened to your hand?" Ou Jia Rui quickly walked over.

"I accidentally burned it just now." I was afraid that because of this, Ojaru wouldn't let me continue my work.

It just so happened that Ou Jingyi walked in at this time. She brought a cup of coffee for Ou Jia Rui with a smile on her face, "CEO Ou, your coffee is here."

An angry look appeared on Ou Jia Rui's face. "Don't come to the CEO's office unless you have anything important to do in the future."

"Why?" Ou Jingyi felt aggrieved.

"Zhou Xinyao is my wife. No matter how unacceptable it is, we're already a legitimate couple. There's no meaning in doing this."

"What did I do?" Ou Jingyi was a little confused.

However, Ou Jia Rui thought she was playing dumb. "Zhou Xinyao is still pregnant, so don't hurt him in the open or in the dark." She pulled me out of the room. "I'll take you to the hospital."

After recovering from her shock, Ou Jingyi glared at me angrily, "You sure are scheming, Zhou Xinyao, just you wait and see."

This was the first time that Ou Jingyi, who had been doted upon by Ou Jia Rui for so many years, had been wronged. In an instant, anger and grievance filled her heart as she turned around and left.

I know that after this incident, my relationship with Ou Jingyi has reached a new level.

"Um, Ou Jia Rui, I really hurt my own hand. It had nothing to do with Ou Jingyi. I was just a bit distracted when I heated the milk and forgot to bring the thermal gloves." I carefully explained that I hoped there was room for moderation.

"It's alright, we'll talk about it later. Let's treat your wounds first." Without saying anything further, Ojwin and I drove to the nearest hospital.
