Upon hearing Xia Xiaofu bring Ou Luoxi intentionally, Ou Ze's gaze fell on her face. He nodded his head and said, "Yes, Luoxi will also be attending tonight's dinner banquet."
Xia Xiaofu hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I will attend it tonight, but I am going to go over together with my parents. I should let Old Master Ou know about the breakup."
After she spoke, Xia Xiaofu walked away.
"Xiaofu, I will take you."
"There is no need for that." Xia Xiaofu left the large airport hall.
Ou Ze's entire face fell dark. He stood on the spot, and at this moment, his subordinate stepped forward to report, "Young Master, we just got news. Ou Luoxi also participated in Milan Fashion Week, and last night, Miss Xia spent the entire night together with Ou Luoxi in the same room."
Ou Luoxi heard what the subordinate said and glanced at him. The subordinate retreated back in fear.
...
During the dinner banquet
Xia Xiaofu attended the banquet together with her parents. Old Master Ou's grand 80th birthday was held in a luxurious hotel. The influential and powerful people of T City were in attendance.
Her parents were mingling. Xia Xiaofu was not focused on the event. She was looking around the venue, searching for a trace of Ou Luoxi.
At this moment, the doors of the main hall opened up, and Ou Luoxi walked inside.
He was dressed in a white v-neck t-shirt. He had a long green overcoat over it. The warm colours reduced his cold aura and made the 22 year old boy look inviting.
There were some times that a person's clothes could very well reflect a person's feelings. Xia Xiaofu was pondering. Ou Luoxi still cared about the Ou family inside his heart.
No matter what Ou Luoxi wore, the moment he appeared, everyone present at the event was attracted to him and gasped.
Old Master Ou was seated on the wheelchair as he received other's well wishes. Ou Ze's mother, Chen Ni, was decked out lavishly in jewellery as she socialized around with the other rich ladies. Everyone looked at Ou Luoxi and stopped talking.
Ou Luoxi did not reciprocate their gazes. He walked over to Old Master Ou before he handed him a present. His facial expressions were very gentle as he said, "Grandpa, happy birthday."
Old Master Ou did not have a pleasant expression on his face. He was not even willing to glance at Ou Luoxi at all. He waved at the butler and frustratedly said, "What are you frozen there for? Accept the present quickly."
"Yes, Sir." The butler stepped forward to accept the present and handed to the helpers. The helper took Ou Luoxi's present and casually threw it into the pile of presents without a care.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. At this moment, a rich lady by Chen Ni's side said, "Madam Ou, is this Little Young Master Ou? He looks so beautiful."
"That's right." The rich ladies all agreed.
"Hah, " Chen Ni laughed coldly, her cruel and cold gaze landed on Ou Luoxi, and she examined him carefully."Yes, this is the Little Young Master of our Ou family, Ou Luoxi. Our Luoxi has been beautiful since he was young. He inherited his good looks from his own mother. Nobody knows this, but our Luoxi's biological mother was an opera performer. She was extremely famous as a young star. She mesmerized so many men. Look, my husband is one of her admirers."
The rich ladies did not expect that Ou Luoxi had such a background. In the circle of wealthy people, the most important thing was bloodline. Those mistresses and illegitimate children were the number one enemy of these rich ladies, and they hated these people to the max.
The rich ladies' gazes changed immediately. Someone mocked Ou Luoxi as she looked at him. She laughed and said, "I really could not tell that Little Young Master Ou had such an amazing biological mother."
"That's right. At that time, my husband was entirely enchanted by her until he lost his own soul. My Ou Ze was only five years old. My husband did not even want his own son anymore. He started a family together with her outside. Ay, it was a real pity. There was a time when my husband went on a vacation together with her. The moment the car crashed on the highway, my husband decided to protect her with his body, and everyone knew the result of it. My husband passed away, and my father lost a son in the midst of his life. He was unable to take the blow of it and was immediately paralysed."
The rich ladies were immediately agitated as they said, "Heavens really do not have any eyes. The vixen that seduced another person's husband did not die. She is living well and healthy; this is totally unacceptable!"
Chen Ni had a calm expression on her face as she said, "At that time, she was already three months pregnant. Because my husband passed away, she lost her source of income. Although she found another old man to be together after that, what man would like a pregnant woman? She had a pitiful life. She gave birth to our Luoxi but lost too much blood in the process and died."
Chen Ni spoke and was about choke up with tears.
"Mrs. Ou, I think you are way too kind. My Luoxi? He is not a child that you gave birth to. In my opinion, sons live up to their mother's background. Don't invite trouble into your home."
They chatted happily with one another. They chatted as they looked at Ou Luoxi mockingly. It was as if they were going to stare through Ou Luoxi's bones with their gazes alone.
Xia Xiaofu looked at Ou Luoxi in the distance. He stood amid the crowd. It was as if he could not hear and see the people mocking him with their gazes, and he had a cold expression on his face.
This matched his normal character. It was as if he could not be tamed by anyone. He was unable to be attacked at all, but Xia Xiaofu knew that he also had a heart and was also made out of meat. How could he not hurt?
His parentage and background were not something that he could choose. No matter who was right or wrong in the grievances between the previous generation, how old was he back at that time?
Ning Qing said that he was in a swaddle as he followed the flow of the river, and he floated away. He was rescued by a nun from a temple. The eight years that he spent in the temple were the happiest years of his life, but the happy times always felt so short. The temple met with trouble. He saw the nun that brought him up collapse into a puddle of blood before his own eyes. After that, he was caught by human traffickers, and he was sold to and owned by someone for half a year.
There was a time where he took the chance to escape. He escaped into the depths of the mountain. From the first moment he'd started to stay inside the depths of the mountain, it lasted for ten years, and during the entire time, there was only a wolf that accompanied him. He even forgot how to speak human language anymore.
And it was a boy from such a pathetic background. He did not have any obligation to be the one who bore the brunt for the grievances between the previous generation, and similarly, he also did not have the obligation to be judged by others' gaze and comments.
Xia Xiaofu was about to step forward. Those people were going overboard!
"Xiaofu..." Her mother held onto her slim arm and said, "Don't interrupt another family's matter. Don't worry about them."
"Mum..." Xia Xiaofu was about to shake her mother off.
"Mum." Ou Ze appeared and said, "Mum, it's Grandpa's grand 80th birthday today. Why are you bringing these sad matters up?" As he spoke, Ou Ze was extremely courteous before he patted Ou Luoxi's shoulders, and he said, "Luoxi, you are here?"
Ou Luoxi looked at Ou Ze and greeted him."Older Brother."
"Good younger brother, let's go. I will introduce you to some people." Ou Ze brought Ou Luoxi away.
The people that were waiting for good drama left.
But the rich ladies by Chen Ni's side did not go away."Madam Ou, why is Young Master Ou treating Ou Luoxi so well?"
Chen Ni was satisfied as she looked at her own son's back profile. She let out a sigh, and said, "I also do not know. My Ou Ze is too kind and too benevolent. Ou Ze brought Ou Luoxi back from the depths of the mountain."
"What? The depths of the mountain?"
"That's right. Ou Luoxi was in the depths of the mountain and spent ten whole years with a wolf, Ou Ze brought him back, and he did not have any clothing on his body. He used two leaves to cover himself. We spoke to him, and he even called out with a 'woof. ' It was such a joke. After that Ou Ze hired a teacher to teach him to speak and write words.
The rich ladies all laughed and said, "Haha, we really did not think that Ou Luoxi was a wolf child. In my opinion, don't teach him anything. He is suited to live in the depths of the mountain."
"That's right. Humans are humans. A beast would forever be a beast. It is still Young Master Ou who is so talented. He is so popular and well known as the successor of the Ou Corporation, and he is also the good son of yours, Madam Ou.""
Chen Ni quickly broke out into a smile.
Xia Xiaofu heard the conversation that these people were having very clearly. Her small hands were clenched into tight fists by her sides. It turned out in the end, good reputation and compliments were only left for both Chen Ni and Ou Ze.
Xia Xiaofu never liked the Ou family, especially Chen Ni. She was way too overbearing. Also for Ou Ze, the businessman features on him were too apparent. If not for Ou Ze saving her back in the past, she would not have agreed to get engaged to him.
Her mother went to socialize with other people. Xia Xiaofu was angered as she stood on the spot, and at this moment, her shoulders were cupped by one arm. Ou Ze's voice rang out in the air, "Xiaofu, come over. Let me introduce you. This is Luoxi, my younger brother."
Xia Xiaofu did not have any reaction. The moment Ou Luoxi appeared in her line of vision, the boy's clear, dark, and sparking eyes were focused on her.
"Luoxi, this is Xiaofu. She is your sister-in-law, " Ou Ze continued..
After that, Xia Xiaofu heard Ou Luoxi say three words, "Sister-in-law."
Xia Xiaofu: "... I..."
Ou Luoxi looked over at Ou Ze and said, "Older Brother, I have something else to attend to. I must make a move."
"The dinner banquet is starting soon. Eat first before you leave."
"No thanks." Ou Luoxi shook his head before he turned around to leave.
...
She watched the boy's back profile disappear in her line of vision. Xia Xiaofu shook Ou Ze's hands off her shoulders immediately. She was cold as she looked at Ou Ze and asked him, "What do you mean by this?"
Ou Ze touched his chin and broke out into a laugh as he said, "Xiaofu, what do you mean?"
"You'd better stop pretending! Ou Ze. I am in the entertainment industry. You worked together with your mother to act out a show during the banquet today. Did you think that I could not tell? Also, I have already broken up with you, and you still asked Ou Luoxi to address me as sister-in-law. Don't you think that you're going overboard?"
The smile on Ou Ze's face disappeared as he said, "Xiaofu, who is the one that is actually going overboard? What is wrong with me asking Luoxi to address you as sister-in-law. Why are you being so agitated?"
"Ou Ze, did you know this? It has been so many years that I could not understand why I liked you at the start. It was all because of your character and behaviour. I cannot understand it. If not for you saving me three years ago, I would not even spare another look at you!"
Xia Xiaofu shook her sleeves and left.
Ou Ze looked at her beautiful back profile, and he had a sinister gaze in his eyes. That time three years ago again!
If she found out that it was not him three years ago, how would she react?
