C67 Blind Show of Goodwill

Lin Qian revealed a troubled expression. For a moment, I couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.

"About that, Yaoyao, how's the baby inside your stomach? It's going to be born in a few months, ah?" I wasn't so disgusted that he didn't mention the baby, but when I thought about what he had done to me, who already knew that I was pregnant, I felt a surge of hatred wash over me.

"No comment."

"No, Yao Yao, don't be like this. We …" Lin Qian was still unwilling to give up.

I forcefully interrupted him. "Mr. Lin seems to have told me that he has infertility, so the child in my stomach shouldn't be yours. I just don't know who the father of that innocent child of Miss Ou who miscarried a few days ago is."

Even though my words were swift, I was unable to cheer up. I just wanted to leave this disgusting man in front of me at once.

"I …" Yao Yao, listen to me. " Lin Qian walked up to me and tried to hold my hand, but I was easily pulled behind by Ou Jia Rui and was extremely safe.

"Lin Qian, the person you should be concerned about is Jingjing, it doesn't matter if she has a baby or not, you two are still a legitimate couple." Hearing Ou Jia Rui's words, Lin Qian realized that his actions were out of line. He lowered his head in shame, and didn't know how to explain to Ou Jia Rui, "Also, my wife's health is not bad, don't worry."

Ou Jia Rui's last sentence was no different from swearing one's sovereignty over an oath. Lin Qian was not a fool. If he still wanted to pester Lin Jia Rui, then it would be clear that he was going to oppose Ou Jia Rui and even the Ou Family.

"That's good, that's good, Director Ou, Madam, please leave." Lin Qian, who had returned to his senses, once again had his appearance that was in possession of the flame.

Ojira took me away.

"Do you want to do something now? Go take a rest?" I walked back into the villa, arm in arm with Ou Jia Rui. We ran into Mrs. Ou, who was using her eyes to search for Ou Jia Rui.

"Jia Rui, where did you go?" Madame Ou beckoned to O'Jia Rui, and we had to go.

Ou Jia Rui seemed to still mind that the Ou Family didn't leave me a seat for Mrs. Ou at lunch. Although they were still respectful, they didn't have their usual intimacy and naturalness when they talked to her. "Nothing, it's a little stuffy inside. I'm going out for a walk. Mom, what's wrong?"

"I also feel bored to have you accompany me to the lake for a walk." Since Madam Ou said it like that, there was naturally no reason for Ou Jia Rui to disobey. Seeing that Ou Jingyi was called away by Mr. Ou as if to discuss something, I braced myself and followed the mother out of the room.

Arriving at the small Liang Pengli by the lake, Madam Ou sat down. "Do I feel thirsty? I'd like a glass of champagne." There weren't any servants around, so I walked to the champagne tower in the dining area, picked up a glass, and went back.

"Madame Ou, here's your champagne." I offered the glass to her with both hands, trying to keep my tone and attitude as humble and respectful as possible. Mrs Ou, however, ignored me and the glass of champagne, as if there was no one around her. O'Jia Rui could only take it from me and pat the back of my hand. "Mom, here's your wine."

Only then did Madame Ou accept it, satisfied. She drank wine as she chatted with Ou Jia Rui. I stood there, bored, unable to speak. I didn't dare plant flowers, so I could only watch the endless stream of people on the lawn doing nothing.

Although I didn't want to use my malicious intent to guess at others, I was sure that it was definitely because of Ou Jingyi.

Perhaps it was because my son was too quiet, too quiet to exist, that Madame Ou could not find a reason to vent all the anger she felt from her son onto me. Finally, she found a reason.

Mrs. Ou suddenly turned her head and looked at me for a long time with a frown. "Why are you wearing such a formal dress for my birthday? Didn't your family teach you how to wear colors like this?"

"Sorry, I …" I really didn't know what to explain. After all, the crime of wanting to add to it was not something that could be avoided.

However, Ou Jia Rui couldn't take it anymore: "Mom, I bought her dress and also chose the color. Why don't you take a look at the clothes your son and I are wearing."

I didn't think that such a noble house that lived like a prince would be able to say such words that made people unable to refute it: "We, Jia Rui are handsome and bleak. We are like a jade tree in the wind, and we look good in all colors and clothes, but some people just look poor and wear the same expensive clothes.

My self-esteem told me that in this kind of situation, I should counterattack and protect my dignity, but my feelings and logic told me at the same time that I have to endure. The person in front of me is no other than Ou Jia Rui's mother, and I have to endure it in order to not make things difficult for her.

"Mom, I still have things to do. You should rest here." Mom, I still have things to do. She pulled me away with her face, ignoring her own mother, who was also completely black behind us.

Up until the banquet, Ou Jia Rui and I stayed in the room the whole time. No one was willing to go out and face the flattery of those people, or the mockery and ridicule from Ou Jia Rui's parents.

Through the window of my room, I could see that when night fell, bronze lampstands taller than human beings had been set up on the lawn. They were candles that were retro, and they shone more brilliantly on the lake, making it hard to tell which were the lights and which were the stars.

"Why don't you stay here and rest? I'll go out to deal with this situation. After the dinner is over, we'll go home tonight. We won't waste even a minute. I'll come over to pick you up later." Ou Jia Rui asked tentatively.

I wanted to agree sensibly, but then I thought that if I kept running away like this, my mother would never change her mind about me. She would even get worse because of my cowardice.

Thinking this way, I stopped Ou Jia Rui. "I'll go down with you. When the time is over, we can directly leave, right?"

"That's fine too." O'Ciaran put out an arm for me to take, and we went down the stairs together.

At that time, Mrs Ou and Mr Ou were on a small stage on the lawn, thanking the guests. The main idea was to thank the people present for their blessings and to look forward to the future business mutual benefit between you and the Ou family …

Extremely official and hypocritical, I sat under the stage, drowsy from listening, and Ocari stopped me in time.

"Yaoyao, don't sleep yet. As the president of the Ou Family, I will represent the Ou Family to speak with the guests. After I finish, I will cut the cake with my parents and toast everyone before we can leave."

"Okay, then go." I straightened my back again and sat upright in my chair, trying to maintain my grace and dignity, trying to ignore the inquisitive stares around me.

Ou Jia Rui took a few steps forward. Old mister Ou coincidentally said: "Next, let my son, the CEO of the Euclidean Group, express his gratitude to everyone …"

The crowd below the stage was very supportive, and Ou Jia Rui's words of thanks were much more concise. After saying a few words, he walked off the stage, picked up the cup at the top of the champagne tower that had been rebuilt in the dining area, and returned to the stage.

Madame Ou, who was about to toast the guests, pulled him over and whispered a few words into his ear. I saw that Ou Jia Rui was smiling at Madame Ou in a pleasant surprise.

"My mother said she wanted you and Jingjing to come up and cut the cake for her." I was a little flattered, and some in my heart refused to go with Ou Jingyi. However, under these circumstances, it seemed that I couldn't reject her.

Following Ou Jia Rui and the already eager Ou Jingyi onto the stage, I didn't doubt in my heart that the Lady Ou who didn't like me changed her attitude towards me after an afternoon. I also didn't know why even Ou Jingyi, who was never recognized as a member of the orthodox Ou Family, was chosen by Lady Ou.

At this moment, I was only overjoyed and gratified that I was finally accepted by Mrs. Ou. I was not aware of the complexity of the matter.

As I was being led by Ou Jia Rui past Lin Qian, I felt as if there was a bunch of eyes that were consciously following my back. I didn't think about it too much and knew that it was just boring sometimes.

Surprisingly, Ou Jingyi, who had always been on bad terms with me, didn't refuse me to do this task with her at all. Instead, she smiled and gave me a seat beside Ou Jia Rui.

The three of them raised their wine glasses together to thank the guests before gulping it down. The elegance and temperament of the three of them were almost exactly the same. I knew that there were some things that I couldn't envy in the first place.

It was finally the part where we cut the cake. Although Ou Jia Rui's parents didn't introduce me and Ou Jingyi to the guests, but I think that the people sitting here couldn't be more shrewd.

I took the knife and fork that O'Jia Rui handed to me. I smiled and said to O'Jia Rui's mother, "Aunt Ou, I wish you a happy birthday." Madame Ou originally thought that she had accepted my existence, but instead, she only gave me a face that didn't have any reaction. Her eyes looked into the distance as if she was pondering something, yet also seemed to be anticipating something.

Ou Jingyi was closer to the cake than I was, and if I wanted to cut the cake, I would have to pass by her. At this moment, I was only paying attention to raising my head and keeping my posture straight.

By the time I realized what was happening, my whole body had already been thrown forward, my weight unstable, and I almost fell into a layer of cake. In order not to be so awkward, I had to stretch out a hand to grab onto what I could, but I didn't expect it to be the cream of my hand.

"Jingjing, be careful." She supported me from behind in time to prevent anything worse from happening.

But in the eyes of the guests below the stage, all they could see was the appearance of a person who had not seen the world falling … …
