CHAPTER 201 - A DETECTIVE ON A PLANE

I think this is my best leisure, and I feel that there are some designers that can absorb this information. Here are the materials that I've organized. Take a look.

Ning Caier handed over the documents that she had organized a long time ago, inside were the information about the designers and their works. These were all her gains over the past few days, and everyone was willing to work for the heavens.

How did you convince them? Some of them have good results here, there's no need to work at the Sky Origin Stage.

Ouyang Jue took the manuscript and looked at it. The designs of these people were indeed unique, many of them were inspired by their normal life, thus they looked extremely friendly. However, they were neither fashion designers nor jewelry designers, they just had a few unique inventions.

There was indeed a market for all of these functional creations, but they were far from what they were doing right now, and could only be used as a reference. However, these designers had always thought highly of themselves, it was already difficult for Ning Caier to come into contact with them.

I used my identity as a co-designer to swindle others.

After all, it had been a long time since she had designed clothes for Tian Ao, but this identity was extremely effective. No matter what kind of place she appeared in, as long as she mentioned this identity, it would immediately attract the envious eyes of the people around her, otherwise, these big shots would not pay attention to her.

Right now, I feel that being under the banner of Sky Sovereign is pretty good too. At least I can let others have a better impression of me.

Ning Caier was very satisfied with her gains over the past few days. Although she was unable to introduce the essence of the street graffiti and crafts design into the Sky Origin Stage, but they had indeed provided her with a new way of thinking, allowing her to start over with everything.

You've only just discovered that the Heavenly Rankings brand is easy to use.

Ouyang Jue made an extremely exaggerated expression. The signboard of the TiaoAo Group was already over a hundred years old, anyone who was related to it should not be looked down upon. Only now did Ning Caier have this realization, and she really did not take her own family's property seriously. Furthermore, if she was willing to try and take the position of CEO Tian Ao's Madam, the result would definitely be better than this time.

But I always feel like I lied to them. These designers are all honest with me, but I just boasted about my identity. In reality, I can only be considered an unofficial designer that's very proud of me.

Ning Caier looked very sentimental. She knew that the reason the designers gave her the diagrams was because they wanted her to mass produce her designs, not just to craft them. However, she couldn't do anything about it.

You're right, but you've been on leave for too long. When you get back to the company, you'll have to make up for all the work you did.

As long as Ning Caier was happy, whether it was business or personal matters that she reaped the most rewards from this trip, it didn't matter. As for her position as the co-designer for Sky Ox Alliance, he had always kept it for her, and even when she was not here, he had also entrusted Xiao Ningyuan to design it so that Ning Caier's brand could continue being updated.

It was just that Xiao Ningyuan's design was too conservative and was different from Ning Caier's original flamboyant design, so the brand's current sales volume was average, and did not fluctuate much. Now that Ning Caier was willing to take over, it was good for both him and Tian Ao, since she was the original owner of the brand.

When I go back, I will make up for all the work I did. This time, I definitely can't let such good inspiration go to waste. Ning Caier couldn't wait to draw on her drawing board. Regarding the design of the season, she planned to use the ancient buildings as a source of inspiration.

Ouyang Jue did not disturb her, he had only been staring at the door curtain of the first-class cabin and economy class. From the start, he had felt that someone was staring at him, but when he turned his head back several times, he did not find anyone suspicious. This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable, and his hands anxiously rubbed the armrest of the chair, his entire body was covered in a layer of cold air.

He wanted to call Xu Mengyun and ask him about the situation over there, but the flight was extremely slow, and even though he thought that she was about to arrive several times, she looked up to check on the time.

What's wrong with you? Is the company in a hurry? Ning Caier looked as if she was sitting on pins and needles, thinking that something was wrong with the TiaoAo Group. She hurriedly packed up her things so that she wouldn't waste time getting off the plane.

TianAo is fine, I just have the feeling that someone is watching us.

Ouyang Jue couldn't help but turn his head back. This feeling wasn't like Qin Lang, it was more like the feeling of someone he was familiar with. Moreover, this person should have controlled some kind of vital point in him, which caused him to be this scared.

He really couldn't wait for the plane to land so he quickly pulled open the curtain that led from first-class cabin to economy class and started to look at every single passenger one by one. In the last row of the plane, he finally found the source of his fear.

Dad, why are you here?

Ouyang Jue saw a skinny old man sitting at the back of the plane. He was wearing a windbreaker and a detective hat, and was playing with a pipe without any tobacco in his hand. This kind of cartoon image suddenly appearing in reality made people feel that it was very strange, but Ouyang Gu kept staring at him with his sharp eyes, as if he did not realize that he was wearing an inappropriate outfit.

You're so old and you actually like to play this sort of child's game.

However, Ouyang Jue took off the black-framed glasses on Ouyang Gu's face. He felt that Ouyang Gu's heart had become a child's play, and now he was playing detective, no wonder he felt a chill on his spine but did not feel any killing intent. It turned out that his father was secretly following behind him.

Of course I want to see how crazy you are for that girl. It took you so long to find me. Your reaction speed is really too slow.

On the contrary, he felt that Ouyang Jue was aware of it too late. If someone really wanted to attack him, he would have been dead by now.

The children of the Wealthy Classes had all received some training to prevent themselves from being kidnapped. Ouyang Jue was especially capable in this aspect, even the ordinary bodyguards were not his match.

He naturally blamed all of this on Ning Caier. If not for her seducing his own son and causing him to fall in love, how could Ouyang Jue have lost control and left his fiancee alone in the country.

You don't have any killing intent on you, otherwise I would have felt it a long time ago.

Ouyang Jue sat on the vacant seat in the economy class, so as to avoid attracting too many people's attention to his conversation with Ouyang Gu, he finally understood why the cooperators on Taiwan suddenly became diligent. It was Ouyang Gu who greeted them and allowed them to take up their time, and the reason for doing so was obviously because of Ning Caier.

If you continue to be so indistinct, I will immediately make you feel murderous intent.

He had long said that he didn't mind Ouyang Jue having three wives and four concubines, but he also needed to know the difference in status. Right now, the date of his marriage with Xu Mengyun had yet to be decided, and people were already spreading the news that they had changed their marriage, but he was actually going out with another woman at this time.

Dad, you already know about what happened between Meng Yun and me, and there are so many people here. If you continue to cause a ruckus, the whole world will know about our secret agreement.

Ouyang Jue warned Ouyang Gu. The reason why she was not discovered by others was because no one would think that the chairman of the Board of Heavenly Pride could actually sit in economy class. If their voices were too loud, it would unavoidably attract others' attention.

If the news of him and Xu Mengyun's fake marriage spread far and wide, then it would be impossible to estimate the amount of losses that Tian Ao would suffer. Ouyang Gu should be more clear of this matter than him.

It doesn't matter. The economy class is all mine. I've already asked them to put on headphones and turn the music up loud.

Ouyang Gu pointed at the people in front of him, of course he wouldn't be so stupid as to leave a chance for the media to make up nonsense, so he booked this plane after locating Ouyang Jue's scheduled flight.

The men, women and children sitting in the economy class were all arranged by him. These people had followed the Ouyang Family for many years and were very professional in their actions.

Only after Ouyang Gu finished speaking did she realize that something was wrong. After a careful observation, he finally understood where that uncomfortable feeling came from. He more or less had an impression of the people on this plane, but their attire was completely different from usual so he was unable to detect it for a while.

These gardener servants and bodyguards who were serving the Ouyang Family actually disguised themselves as the most ordinary couple and old people among the commoners. Some of them even wore the insignia of tour groups and had high acting skills, allowing them to appear in television dramas.

Sit down and look at these things.

Ouyang Gu asked Ouyang Jue to be patient, he took out a DV and showed Ouyang Jue the films inside. Originally, Ouyang Jue thought that he would be able to travel to Taiwan freely, but they were recorded into a documentary every step of the way. Other than the fact that the rooms that she and Ning Caier lived in did not have any cameras, the rest of the documentaries had already begun to be taken from the moment they left.

You actually sent someone to spy on me! Ouyang Jue could not help but let out a furious roar. He did not think that his father would actually dispatch so many people to record down all of his movements during the past few days in Taiwan. What he hated the most was being watched, even by his own father.

Have you ever thought about the consequences? Do you really think that you can just change your clothes and become a commoner? You are the only heir to the Ouyang Family, how can you be with a woman who has no family background at all? "Su Yun said in a low voice.

Ouyang Gu's voice was not soft either, in Ouyang Jue's eyes, the sweet time of him and Ning Caier eating by the roadside and riding on a bus was something that made Ouyang Gu lose her identity. The future daughter-in-law of the Ouyang Family needed to support their family in the sky. Only a girl like Xu Mengyun would have such courage.

Their roars were heard by the entire cabin, but the other passengers still stayed at their original spot as if nothing had happened. Other than Ning Caier who was in the first-class cabin, the curtains of the first-class cabin were basically soundless, so she could hear everything Ouyang Jue and Ouyang Gu were arguing with each other clearly.

Ouyang. She stood at the intersection between the first-class cabin and economy class, and gently called Ouyang Jue by his name. Actually, she really wanted to shout out loud, but she was afraid that others would discover his identity. Ever since they had become together, she had become more cautious in all of her actions. It was just that this caution was but a form of flattery towards Ouyang Family in the eyes of others.

CHAPTER 202 - EMPRESS DOWAGER OF THE OUYANG FAMILY

You woman … When Ouyang Gu saw Ning Caier, she actually wanted to rush over and argue with her, but when he just got up from his seat, she was pushed down by Ouyang Jue. He was so strong that she almost crushed Ouyang Gu's shoulders.

If you dare to do anything rash, once I get off the plane, I'll immediately announce to the media that Xu Mengyun and I are canceling our engagement.

Ouyang Jue took out the trump card that Ouyang Gu was most afraid of, and as expected, when he heard that was going to cancel the engagement, he immediately quietened down, but his eyes were still wide open, as though he wanted to fiercely spurt out the foul air on Ning Caier's face. It was all her fault that his own son turned out like this, if not for her, how could the father and son turn against each other.

Ning Caier was frozen in place. She did not know how Ouyang Gu got on the plane, but she felt that the plane was very strange, they were already quarreling to this extent, but no one on the plane stepped forward to stop them, no one even turned to look.

They seemed to be fixed within their own behavior patterns, not caring about the surrounding world at all. This kind of abnormal situation made Ning Caier think that they had been infected by some sort of virus.

Cai'er, let's go back. Ouyang Jue walked quickly back to the first-class cabin. He grabbed onto Ning Caier's hand with all his strength and brought her back to the first-class cabin, while at the same time, he tightly tied the curtain to prevent the economic light from penetrating. He did not want Ning Caier to worry about him, but his ashen complexion showed everything.

Ouyang … Ning Caier didn't know what she should say to him. If she said goodbye to Ouyang Jue before this trip, she would have let him return to her own life.

But now that she could not bear to leave him, it had nothing to do with the reality of their relationship, but with her attachment to his gentleness, his consideration, and even the warmth of his body. So she leaned her head against his shoulder, her hands gripping his fingers tightly. She wanted to tell him that she didn't want to leave him.

Ning Caier's reaction surprised him a little. He knew that she had never had confidence in their relationship, so the moment she encountered pressure from the outside world, she would retreat. But this time, she seemed to be prepared to face it together with him.

It's okay, Cai'er. I will take care of this matter. Just trust me, and don't leave me.

Ouyang Jue was very happy that Ning Caier had made such a change. He used his own palm to cover Ning Caier's ears, preventing her from hearing the chaotic noises from the outside. This time, no matter what price he had to pay, he had to give Ning Caier a name.

I believe you. Ning Caier could feel Ouyang Jue's heavy tone, but she still nodded her head and gently closed her eyes. She relaxed in Ouyang Jue's embrace, disregarding everything in the world.

The plane landed at the airport on time. The flight attendant came over and opened the cabin door to invite the guests from first-class cabin to go down first, but Ouyang Jue waved his hand. He wanted everyone to see him together with Ning Caier, and tell his father that his intentions would not change.

The flight attendant had no choice but to invite Ouyang Gu out. Although the crew were all from the Ouyang Family, they couldn't occupy the runway here for too long, so they had to get a result before the next plane landed.

You can all go down first, I'll talk to him myself. However, their loud footsteps still woke Ning Caier up. She saw that these people were rushing forward as if they were fleeing and she was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but turn her head to glance at Ouyang Jue. Ouyang Jue looked at them.

It's fine, they're all from the Ouyang Family. Ouyang Jue caressed Ning Caier's hair. He knew that the one behind this was a big boss, but Ouyang Gu did not say anything when she walked over. He only gave Ouyang Jue a quick look, reminding him not to forget anyone else before doing this.

Ouyang Jue, do you still remember your mother?

Ouyang Gu's words were like a bomb to Ouyang Jue. He had never been afraid of his own father, but he was a little afraid of his own mother.

It's good that you remember. If you don't want to see your mother hospitalized, it's best for you to think clearly about what kind of woman you should marry.

Of course, he knew how much Ouyang Jue cared about his mother. If he could pull her to his side, he could guarantee that he would obediently marry Xu Mengyun. It was just that this process of roping her in was a bit troublesome.

Ouyang … Ning Caier felt that Ouyang Jue's fingers had instantly become ice-cold. She did not know who Ouyang Jue's mother was, and had only vaguely heard that he was a descendant of a great clan. However, in the entire corporation, no one had ever seen this lady before.

It's okay, my mother will definitely like you.

Ouyang Jue forced out a smile at Ning Caier. He didn't even mind riding in the same car as her, he wasn't afraid of the reporters tracking him down, but Ning Caier still felt that there was a barrier between them, because from the moment Ouyang Gu mentioned about this matter, Ouyang Jue's body had already become stiff, and even his most basic reaction speed had slowed down.

Ouyang Jue had originally wanted to tell his mother about it after he had settled things with Ning Caier, but before he had even finished settling the external matters, Ouyang Gu had actually brought out his mother to suppress him.

Although he could look down on his mother in the business world, he was basically obedient to her because she very rarely made any requests towards him. Therefore, he could not bear to say the word no, because Ouyang Jue knew that this kind of critical juncture was where he could use his trump card.

Can you tell me something about Madame Ouyang? Why have I never seen her in Ouyang Family before?

After returning home, Ning Caier couldn't help but ask. She had never heard Ouyang Jue talk about his mother before, she had always thought that his mother had already passed on. But now, looking at Ouyang Jue's expression, it seemed to be even more complicated than she had imagined.

I haven't seen her in a long time. I just know that she's still alive.

When Ouyang Jue mentioned his mother, it was as if he had lost all of his strength. He powerlessly laid down on the sofa in the living room, and thought of those scenes from when he was young, which he was extremely afraid of.

He knew from the beginning that his mother's health was not good. She had to be treated at the hospital for most of the year, and the rest of the time, she had to stay in her room to recuperate. He had received dozens of medical notifications, and every time, he felt that his mother was about to leave him.

However, such a severely ill mother did not attract Ouyang Gu's good will. He had always treated her mother as nothing, and spent all day drinking and drinking with other women.

Because of this, Ouyang Jue hated his father a lot. He felt that the reason his mother's condition continuously worsened was because Ouyang Gu did not care about his mother at all. The father and son duo almost broke off their relationship because of this matter.

Later, in order to calm the conflict between him and his mother, his mother suggested to the Ouyang Family's private island when they became adults to recuperate. Naturally, Ouyang Gu would not reject such suggestion, he had even personally sent Ouyang Jue's mother to the island, and from then on, Ouyang Jue had never seen his mother again.

However, he knew that his mother was especially concerned about his marriage. Furthermore, he couldn't contradict his mother like she was Ouyang Gu; he was afraid that she would really get sick from being too agitated. If that really happened, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.

I see. I'll do my best to make your mother like me.

Ning Caier never thought that the matters of the Ouyang Family would actually be so complicated. She could understand Ouyang Jue's worry, it was as if the image of a sickly old man had already appeared in her mind, and she was willing to bear all the grievances of an old man like him.

Furthermore, she believed that such a mother who doted on her son would definitely respect her son's decision. Therefore, she wasn't too worried about this matter, she only lightly leaned on Ouyang Jue's shoulder, hoping to give him some strength.

Thank you, Cai'er.

Ouyang Jue lightly patted the back of Ning Caier's hand, but he did not put on a relaxed tone, as he understood his mother well, and that kind of woman who came from a large clan the most paid attention to was the reputation of the clan and the perfect match. This was also the reason why she had always been feeling wronged and not getting a divorce from Ouyang Gu, it was because of the word reputation.

No matter what he did, he would not be able to lift his spirits. Although Tian Ao's business was still stable, it had not grown by much, and everyone was worried that if an enemy invaded at this time, Ouyang Jue might still have the ability to fight back.

As long as Ouyang Jue was able to restrain himself, he would not need to beg the woman on the island to help him. After all, the only condition for his legal wife to come back was that he was the one and only wife, and this matter could take his life.

Furthermore, as long as his marriage with the Xu's was successful, Xu Mengyun's iron fist in the market would be more than enough to make everyone submit to him. No matter how he thought of it, the benefits were greater than the drawbacks.

CEO, the design for this season has been completed. Teacher Xiao wants me to ask when you are going to hold the quarterly meeting?

Ning Caier had already returned to her job in Sky Ox City. She wanted to use this method to express her support for Ouyang Jue, but she still maintained a superior and subordinate relationship with him in the company, and didn't want to seem anything special to him.

However, this kind of deliberate estrangement allowed Xiao Ningyuan to see through their relationship, so he gave Ning Caier a lot of things without batting an eyelid, allowing her to have more of a reason to go to the CEO's office.

If it was a normal day, Ouyang Jue would have praised her while she was dressed like this. But today, he seemed to have been in a daze, looking at the empty table without saying a word, as if he had already swam all the way to that private island.

CHAPTER 203 - A RESTLESS FATHER

He had begun to rehearse the duel between himself and his mother in his mind, to think what words he could use to convince her that this negotiation seemed more difficult than any battle he had ever experienced, because its failure to use a head-on weapon depended entirely on whether his mother valued his happiness more or the reputation of the family more.

CEO. Ning Caier could not help but shout out again, at the same time, she gently placed the document on top of Ouyang Jue's table, only then did Ouyang Jue suddenly react, she raised her head as though he had just woken up from a dream, and looked at Ning Caier with a puzzled expression.

When did you arrive? Ouyang Jue previously said that Ning Caier could enter his office at will, so the secretary did not make any announcements. He was stunned for a few seconds before reacting, flipping through the documents in his hands, I heard his report at 2 PM in the conference room, so all of you came along as well.

Ouyang Jue didn't have the heart to care about what he was planning at the moment. He had been hesitating on whether he should give his mother a call to report the news to her, and at the same time see how her body was doing. And whether she could bear the news that he was going to be with Ning Caier.

He had only used this matter to force to stay engaged with him. If that was the case, then he would be throwing his life away by calling his mother, and that Madame Ouyang might immediately come out from the island to take charge of the situation. This matter had caused him to struggle for an entire night, making it impossible for him to enter a state of sleep.

You have something on your mind? Ning Caier took a look at the door of the CEO's office to confirm that it was closed. Only then did she dare to sit in front of Ouyang Jue and talk about private matters. She initially did not want to apply this privilege to the company, but Ouyang Jue's eyes did not shine, this kind of abnormal situation made her worry.

Nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night. Ouyang Jue gulped down all the cold coffee in front of him. Ning Caier noticed that the cup of coffee on his table was not one cup but was filled slowly, he had been using this kind of black coffee to refresh his body the whole morning! No wonder he looked so haggard.

You should rest for a while. Otherwise, you'll definitely fall asleep after the report this afternoon.

Ning Caier kept all the coffee and poured a cup of Citizen's Tea for Ouyang Jue. However, Ouyang Jue did not feel that the beverage under his blanket had been changed, it was as if he was drinking cold coffee and drinking the scalding cup of ginseng tea, and he did not feel that it was hot at all.

She did not know what else he could do. Ouyang Jue had been living alone with his since he returned from Taiwan, and he did not let Ning Caier go up to live with him nor did he even go downstairs to visit her. Every day he looked dazed, as if he didn't know exactly what to do.

Did you pour this tea? Ouyang Jue finally felt the blisters in his mouth. He took a glance at the thick cup of Citizen's Tea, and realised that he had once again misplaced his time.

I'll take you to the hospital. I'm afraid of you. Ning Caier almost cried. She grabbed Ouyang Jue's arm and wanted to bring him away from here. She could reject the position of Young Mistress Ouyang, but she couldn't watch him torture his like this.

I'm fine. I'll be fine after a short rest. Besides, my tongue has been eating all kinds of delicious food since I was young. I'm not afraid of the heat at all.

Ouyang Jue saw through Ning Caier's worry, so he mustered his strength and stood up from the chair, and focused his gaze on Ning Caier's face.

He saw that she was actually crying because she was worried about him, and a kind of tender love ignited in his heart. Moreover, he now realized that Ning Caier's outfit today was obviously for him, and must have been put on for his sake.

You're getting more and more beautiful now. Don't worry, you'll be able to solve everything.

Ouyang Jue gave Ning Caier a long kiss to show that he was alright. This kiss made her feel like the surrounding air had frozen, and she did her best to cooperate with Ouyang Jue in hoping to bring him out of the haze in his heart. Her two legs were like a soft fishtail as they tightly stuck themselves onto Ouyang Jue's body, causing his body that was deeply immersed in the ice, to slowly become warm.

Ouyang Jue's consciousness was finally awakened by this mermaid like kiss. Previously, when he tried to minimize the amount of time he had with Ning Caier because he wanted to think through the entire matter and organize his thoughts, he realized that he had done wrong. He couldn't leave Ning Caier's side, and only when he was with her would his thoughts be clear.

His mother cared more about her son's reputation and more so cared about his reputation. She would definitely not let the reputation of a child born in Ouyang Family be spread around the world. As long as he could have a child with Ning Caier, he would have enough chances to convince his mother.

The air in their bodies was slowly being exhausted by the warm kisses. Ouyang Jue reluctantly let go of Ning Caier as he gently whispered into her ear, I just want to be with you.

He carried her with a princess and directly entered his bedroom in the CEO's office. The red pillow and bed cover looked like it was a wedding dress, and the place was extremely neat, as if no one had used it in a long time. Ever since Ouyang Jue fell in love with Ning Caier, this room had never seen any other woman, and even he himself had not rested on this bed.

Ouyang, we can't stay here. She knew that no one would casually come into this office, but she could not help but feel nervous. Doing this kind of thing openly in a building with a few hundred employees, it made her feel very uneasy, as if someone would suddenly barge in and crash into them.

Of course, you are the mistress here. Ouyang Jue pressed Ning Caier onto the bed. Right now, he didn't think of anything at all, he only wanted to be one with her. He wanted a child, a child that they could be together forever.

But just as he lifted Ning Caier's skirt, there was a bang outside the door, Ouyang Jue's secretary did not bother to knock on the door before barging in.

CEO Ouyang, Miss Xu is here!

The secretary knew that Ning Caier and Ouyang Jue's conversation in the room wasn't as simple as business, so she barged in recklessly to prevent Ouyang Jue from being caught by the future Madam Tian Ao. It was because Xu Mengyun's expression was really ugly today, as if a storm was about to blow over.

Sure enough, she saw that Ning Caier was entangled with the CEO, so she immediately gave him a look to get her to let go, because Miss Xu was right behind her, and they were about to charge in.

Usually, her relationship with Ning Caier was not bad, and she was hoping that her Little Madam would help her raise her rank and raise her salary. Therefore, she would rather risk offending the CEO to make sure that she was alright, because she knew very well that as long as Ning Caier was willing to speak a good word for her, she would forgive her no matter how angry she was.

However, her report was still a step too late. Xu Mengyun was already standing behind her, and her face was ashen as she surveyed her surroundings, only saying one word, Get out!

Xu Mengyun was in a bad mood, if there were only the three of them here, there would naturally be no harm, but with an outsider like the secretary, it would only harm Xu Family's face, and let others know that she, Xu Mengyun, did not have enough charm to keep her fiancé, and this kind of humiliation was something she would definitely not be able to endure.

The secretary naturally withdrew in fear, so as to not be implicated by this matter later on. Ning Caier felt even more embarrassed as she quickly tidied up her clothes and looked down at Ouyang Jue, not knowing what she should do.

Ouyang Jue pointed at her and told her to leave first. Something bad must have happened to Xu Mengyun for him to barge in in such an aggressive manner, because he did not want Ning Caier to worry.

I know.

After Ning Caier saw him nod his head, she also silently withdrew. Although she already knew that Ouyang Jue and Xu Mengyun were faking an engagement, she still couldn't help but slightly bend her body to show her respect when she passed by Miss Xu.

She could feel the killing intent that Xu Mengyun was carrying, and it was enough to flatten the entire Heavenly Ao Tower. She couldn't help but suspect the words Ouyang Jue was saying to her. Could it be that Xu Mengyun was the same as Bai Youya, and wanted to fake the marriage contract from the very start?

Mengyun, what happened? Sit down and let's talk.

Ouyang Jue also did not expect Xu Mengyun to visit him at this time. He closed the bedroom door, allowing Xu Mengyun to sit on the sofa in the living room.

She had long known about the relationship between him and Ning Caier, even if she had seen something earlier, she shouldn't have had such a huge reaction.

But when Xu Mengyun threw an item in front of him, his anger was definitely not any less than Xu Mengyun's, because the thing Xu Mengyun threw in front of him was a wedding invitation, an invitation for both of them. He and Xu Mengyun were going to get married, but even they themselves did not know, how could there be such a joke in the world?

Is he crazy? How dare he spout nonsense like this!

With just a glance, Ouyang Jue could tell that it was Ouyang Gu's doing. He had actually set their marriage date at a month on his own, and had already informed the elders of the Xu Family. If Xu Mengyun had not stopped them, this matter would have already spread to the entire city.

Ouyang, although I am the one in charge of Xu's, the elders of the clan should not be underestimated. Once this matter spreads, we must get married, otherwise Xu Family and Ouyang Family will become enemies, and those elders will definitely not allow anyone to offend Xu Family's dignity.

Xu Mengyun's voice was trembling. She only found out about what happened when she received her elder's call this morning to congratulate him. This matter had already shocked the entire Xu's family.

No matter how much she tried to explain it, these elders all thought that it was because she was embarrassed to admit it. Because Ouyang Gu had personally come to notify them of this matter, no one would think that it was fake.

Furthermore, Ouyang Gu's movements were extremely fast, not only did he notify the elders of the Xu Family, he also invited some people to print out the invitations, and decided on the venue for their wedding as well as the related gifts. With such a large lineup, they were definitely not prepared in one day, but Ouyang Jue did not notice at all, if not for the call from the elders of the Xu Family, there would be no turning back.

CHAPTER 204 - NEGOTIATIONS TO BEAT LOVERS

I didn't expect him to dare to do such a thing!

Ouyang Jue knew that Ouyang Gu was trying to force her into a palace. He didn't want the marriage between him and Xu Mengyun to drag on indefinitely, which was why he announced the date of their marriage.

However, if he dared to cancel the engagement, he would immediately bring Ouyang Jue's mother out to suppress him. And what was even more terrifying was that this wedding had already informed his mother, so no matter how unhealthy she was, he would definitely leave the island to attend her son's wedding.

If his mother only said that it was a misunderstanding when Ouyang Jue appeared, then she would definitely fall down head first and never be able to stand up again. Xu Mengyun could not afford to bet on this matter, and he even more so could not afford to.

What we need to think about now is what we should do. It's impossible for the media to keep such big news a secret for long, not to mention if Uncle Ouyang insists on announcing it, there's nothing we can do about it.

Although Xu Mengyun liked Ouyang Jue, she didn't want others to force her to marry. This made her feel that he had become a puppet, and that he only needed to follow someone's instructions and appear in a certain position.

Furthermore, Qin Lang had already been discharged, the doctor said that his current situation was normal. If he took the chance to attack during the chaos in Ouyang Family to change the administrative structure and redistribute authority to the people in the TiaoAo Group, the people on the board of directors would probably be undetermined and make confused decisions, at that time, there would be no way to reverse everything that had happened.

Although the Xu Family and the Ouyang Family were not truly related by marriage, they had already had a lot of interactions regarding business. Once the interior of the Sky Ao Continent became chaotic, the Xu Group would not be spared either.

Ouyang Jue naturally understood what Xu Mengyun was saying. Right now, TiaoAo Group was basically suffering from internal and external troubles, especially that Ouyang Gu who actually chose to create trouble for him and not fight against external enemies together. It was clear that he wanted to force him into a desperate situation and make him marry Xu Mengyun no matter what.

He immediately called Ouyang Gu's number to tell him not to mess around, but this old man did not listen to him. He actually started to disappear at this time, allowing Ouyang Jue to suffer like an ant on the hotpot.

Ouyang Gu was actually moving around right under Ouyang Jue's nose, but he was not here for business, nor was she here to see her own son. The person he wanted to see was Ning Caier, because she was the one who made the perfect breakthrough in the matter of Ouyang Jue and Xu Mengyun's wedding.

Miss Ning, let's talk.

Ouyang Gu appeared inside the TiaoAo Group like a Magus. He blocked Ning Caier's path from the CEO's office to the Design Department, the TiaoAo Group was once his world, so he knew the result very well. If Ning Caier disappeared from here, then both Xiao Ningyuan and Ouyang Jue would think that she was at her place, and they wouldn't be able to sense her for a short period of time.

Ning Caier was a little hesitant, she turned to look at the lift, not knowing if she should go and discuss it with Ouyang Jue, but Ouyang Gu's identity was unique, towards the chairman of the TiaoAo Group, whether it was for business or private matters, Ning Caier could not reject, so after pausing for a moment, she obediently nodded her head.

That's right, there is no benefit in going against the people of Ouyang Family.

Ouyang Gu looked at Ning Caier with a fierce gaze. He used her withered fingers to grab onto Ning Caier's sleeves and attempted to bring her to the elevator. This action of her was extremely rude and Ning Caier couldn't help but want to struggle, but the skinny old man's strength was not weak.

This place shared a floor just like Ouyang Jue's office. At the beginning, Ning Caier was still a little nervous, but after seeing that Ouyang Gu did not take any further actions, her heart slowly calmed down. She silently took a deep breath behind Ouyang Gu, reminding herself that he was Ouyang Jue's father, and her future father-in-law.

Other than A Jue, there is no one else in TiaoAo Group who is not afraid of me. However, I do not plan to touch you, otherwise, you would not be able to walk this place.

Ouyang Gu heard the heavy breathing from behind him and immediately scolded Ning Caier. Although he was old, but she was still considered fit and strong, but he was not stupid enough to be in possession of the same woman as her own son. If that happened, the relationship between the father and son would be irreparable.

Uncle Ouyang, I've never thought of that before. Ning Caier quickly explained. She did not suspect that Ouyang Gu was an old man that disrespected others, it was purely due to the nervousness of meeting an elder. She knew that Ouyang Gu would not hurt her, it was just that her sudden summons made her at a loss of what to do.

Uncle is not someone you can call me. You have to call me Chairman Ouyang. Ouyang Gu glared at Ning Caier and felt that she was extremely daring. Don't think that just because Ouyang Jue spoiled her, she thinks that she and Ouyang Family are a family.

Wait inside. Ouyang Gu pushed Ning Caier into the chairman's office. At the same time, she also locked the elevator and the staircase, as well as other places that she could enter. He didn't want anyone to disturb their conversation, especially Ouyang Jue.

She took out her phone and wanted to give Ouyang Jue a call, but thinking that doing so would cause the father and son pair to become even more tense, she kept her phone in her pocket, standing there extremely respectfully, waiting for Ouyang Gu's order.

I've come to find you for no other reason, but there's something I want you to see.

Ouyang Gu sat on the sofa opposite of Ning Caier, maintaining a distance of more than two meters away from her. Such a distance made Ning Caier feel extremely safe, she immediately straightened her body and waited for Ouyang Gu's instructions.

You should be able to read, right? Ouyang Gu took out the wedding invitation for Ouyang Jue and Xu Mengyun. This was a sample from the time when he was printing the wedding invitation, other than the fact that the person's name was still empty, the rest of the areas were already filled with gold coloured words. Ouyang Gu liked this traditional style, she chose red on the bottom of the wedding invitation and burned gold on it.

These photos were all prepared for the engagement ceremony, so Ouyang Jue was extremely cooperative with the photos. The two of them were smiling inside, and it was not possible to tell that they were faking the engagement.

This photo and each of the words on the invitation card stung Ning Caier's eyes. If the names on the invitation card belonged to someone else, she would definitely treat these two as a loving couple. This was because Ouyang Jue and Xu Mengyun seemed to be so compatible, so anyone would say that they were a match made in heaven.

She had no choice but to hold the invitation card very close, and carefully look at each and every word, she suddenly realised that she did not recognize Ouyang Jue's name anymore.

How could they marry?

Ning Caier muttered to herself. Ouyang Jue had clearly said that everyone in the Ouyang Family knew that his engagement with Xu Mengyun was fake, but why did Ouyang Gu take out such a thing?

Chairman Ouyang, I know that this question might be very presumptuous, but aren't CEO Ouyang and your faked engagement? Why are you still holding the wedding?

Ning Caier's voice trembled a little. She tried her best to organize her words, but the question that came out of her mouth was not the least bit tactful, because she really did not know how to tactfully raise such a question. She had always thought of him as a single man, but now she suddenly felt despicable, as if she had stepped into someone else's marriage.

Sometimes, he would lie in order to please girls, but you should be clear on one thing, your family background is not compatible with the Ouyang Family, even if he does not marry Xu Mengyun, you will still be a young miss from a Wealthy Class, I am afraid a woman like you will need to be reborn to be married into a family.

Ouyang Gu laughed dryly twice, he felt that Ning Caier was too naive to actually believe a man's lies. She had also told the women beside him the lies that she was supposed to divorce, but they all knew that it was just a joke, how could it be true.

Furthermore, this matter had already been announced to all the media outlets. There was also a grand engagement ceremony between them, so how could such a ceremony be possible?

But he clearly said … Ning Caier's tears couldn't help but fall, and directly wet the marriage invitation card. The warm liquid slowly melted on top of it, but was unable to erase the words written on it. She believed that Ouyang Jue would not lie to her, but she could also feel the fury that came from the bottom of her heart.

At this time, she suddenly had an illusion that she did not know who to trust. There was only a loud buzzing sound left in her ears, as if she could not hear anything, but at the same time, she seemed to be able to hear every single word clearly. Ouyang Gu's voice continuously broke into her ears, causing her head to hurt even more.

"I will emphasize the rules of the Ouyang Family once again. I don't object to Ouyang Jue raising you up to be a Little Madam, but if you want to be able to distinguish between a high and low position, the mistress of the Heavenly Pride can only be Xu Mengyun. You must know how to avoid her, because if today's events were to happen again, I definitely wouldn't let you off.

Ouyang Gu was someone who had experienced it before, and when he saw the wrinkles on Ning Caier's skirt, he knew what she had done in Ouyang Jue's office. That office had the aura of many women, including Ouyang Gu, but the situation was different now.

You should leave this place during this period of time and come back after Ouyang Jue and his marriage. I will give you the living expenses during this period of time.

The amount written on the cheque was not small enough for Ning Caier to live for a few years. He had said it very clearly, if Ouyang Jue did not come back after the marriage, then this money would be her breakup fee. In the future, she would not be able to return to the TiaoAo Group's sphere of influence.

There's no need, Chairman Ouyang. I'm not with Ouyang Jue because of money. Ning Caier returned the cheque. She knew that if she accepted the money, everything between her and Ouyang Jue would turn into a kind of transaction.

Don't pretend to be so noble, you kept saying that it was not for the money, but the grace you received was more than the money. Do you know how much money and blood the TiaoAo Group spent to get rid of Han Yuqi, and how many resources the spent to help you?

CHAPTER 205 - THE NEWS OF THE MARRIAGE BE DIVULGE

Ouyang Gu roared angrily in the room as he threw the cheque in his hand onto Ning Caier. If what she objected to was only a number, he could accept it, but she didn't mind spending a small amount of money for the sake of her son's marriage. What she hated the most was for these women to tell him that they love him, and it seemed to him that it was just a disguise made for money.

You better be obedient, otherwise I will let you know what a Wealthy Class power is, and your parents in foreign lands. That is the property of our Ouyang Family, it is too easy to make two people disappear there.

On the surface, Ouyang Gu did not care about the matters on the surface, but in reality, he knew clearly about the decisions Ouyang Jue had made. The reason Ouyang Jue had sent Ning Caier's parents to manage the villa was to let them enjoy themselves.

After Ning Caier's parents went to the villa, he had also sent two people there to keep an eye on the situation. It was true that Ouyang Jue sending Ning Caier's parents out of the country allowed them to avoid Qin Lang's threats, but caused them to fall into an even greater crisis, and they had already become hostages to Ouyang Gu.

If Ning Caier dared to disobey him, he would definitely get rid of her parents before Ouyang Jue's men even reach the manor.

Don't touch my parents, they don't know anything. I beg you, Chairman Ouyang, don't hurt them.

When Ning Caier mentioned her parents, Ning Caier quickly tensed up. What she was most afraid of was someone using her parents to threaten her, so she almost kneeled down in front of Ouyang Gu and begged him to be magnanimous.

She wanted to rush to her parents' side right now, but now she knew she couldn't. Her parents were thousands of miles away, and even if she wanted to save them, she couldn't do so now. So, she could only beg Ouyang Gu to let them go, and not let her parents be implicated because of this matter.

I believe that you are a smart person and you should know what to do. Remember, you need to disappear extremely naturally, don't let A Jue think that you are missing and look for you everywhere.

Ouyang Gu was extremely considerate in this matter. He knew that if she allowed Ning Caier to suddenly disappear, his son would definitely search everywhere for him. It would only be the opposite. Therefore, he wanted Ning Caier to find a reason for her to leave Ouyang Jue in a reasonable manner. It would be best if he could make her willingly marry Xu Mengyun.

If that was the case, he would consider giving her another bonus as compensation. As for whether or not he and Ouyang Jue would be together later on, he could also pretend not to see it and allow them to develop freely.

I got it, Chairman Ouyang, I will do it. Ning Caier accepted the cheque and folded it into several pieces before putting it into his own pocket. She wanted to leave an impression that he was with Ouyang Jue for the sake of money and only then would it make sense for her to leave him for the sake of money.

When she returned to Design Department, her face was a little pale. She sat at her seat and drank three cups of hot water in a row, yet her hands and feet were still cold. Xiao Ningyuan couldn't help but knock on her table.

I'm fine, just a little unwell. Teacher Xiao, I want to ask for a leave of absence in the afternoon.

Ning Caier had originally wanted to keep at it until she got off from work, but her body was already about to collapse. Under that helplessness, she could only seek Xiao Ningyuan for help so that she could go home and rest.

Of course you can. Do you want me to send you back?

Xiao Ningyuan was a free person when he came to work, so he didn't need to greet him and he could come and go as he pleased. However, she would come and go as he pleased every day on time, so listening to Xiao Ningyuan's orders was to show her respect to his teacher. He understood this point, so he took extra care of Ning Caier.

No need, Teacher Xiao, I will go back by myself. He knew that Ouyang Gu was currently monitoring her every movement, so he could not drag Xiao Ningyuan into it. At this time, the fewer people around her, the better.

Ouyang Jue did not know what was happening outside. He and Xu Mengyun had been discussing their plans for the next step, and that was if Ouyang Gu suddenly went crazy and married all of them. But there was only one thing to be said about all the plans, and that was that they were truly married.

I hope that old man is just testing me. He doesn't really want to do anything.

Ouyang Jue placed both his hands together in front of his chest. He could only pray, but he couldn't tell which sect or school they were from using this combination of theirs. The only thing that revealed was that he was helpless and in a panic.

He had originally thought that her father would have some misgivings, but he quickly realized that she was very foolish and naive. As the saying went, Ouyang Gu always acted on her own will, and the news of their marriage spread like wildfire even before Xu Mengyun had left the Heavenly Pride.

Ouyang, turn on the computer. When Xu Mengyun received the news, she immediately made Ouyang Jue turn on his computer. The big screen was indeed filled with the news of their marriage, all sorts of rumors had gone up on the headlines, and it was as if they had discussed everything beforehand.

Help me contact the operators of these media outlets and ask them to return the message. Ouyang Jue pressed a key on the phone in his office, telling the Public Relations Department to take back the news, but Xu Mengyun had the opposite opinion. She told the Public Relations Department to do nothing, and to keep quiet, not responding at all to the outside world.

Why? This news has just been released and it's not too late to retrieve it. Ouyang Jue looked at Xu Mengyun in puzzlement. He was just thinking about recovering his lost life force, and now that the information had just been posted, the number of people who saw it shouldn't be too many. However, the number of people who read it per minute increased exponentially.

It's already useless. If we withdraw now, the situation will only become more complicated.

Xu Mengyun gently shook her head. The degree of this news was explosive, no matter how much resources Xu Mengyun and Ouyang Jue used, it was already impossible to stop it, and luckily, all of the information they had was Blessing, and did not cause any chaos in the business world. However, if they were to turn back, people would feel that there was a problem with their cooperation, and the entire business world would be in chaos.

Damned old man!

When Ouyang Jue saw the news that was updated on the web, he immediately scolded his own father. He slammed his hand heavily on his desk, wishing that he could smash his computer and erase the news as well. However, his way of doing things was just a pipe dream. These messages were active on various servers and mobile phone clients, so even if he had to unplug the entire city, it would be useless.

Immediately after, his and Xu Mengyun's phone started to ring one after another, the people who called were their relatives and friends who came to congratulate them, causing them to not know how to explain themselves. Right now, no matter what they said, it would result in a series of reactions, and the most effective method was to close the phone.

You really know how to cause trouble for me. Ouyang Jue was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, he felt that Ouyang Gu did not care about the consequences. If he did not marry, the families that were built up after the generations of the arrogant families would suffer immense losses, wouldn't he have considered all of this!

Mengyun, no matter what happens today, don't say anything specific. I will find my father and have him explain it to us personally.

After Ouyang Jue closed the phone, he left the CEO's office, but the first thing he thought of was not to find Ouyang Gu, rather, he wanted to look for Ning Caier. She must have seen this kind of news, he could not let her have any misunderstandings, so he wanted to clarify this matter.

Congratulations, CEO Ouyang. This matter had already become a hot topic within Tian Ao's heart, and every employee who saw him couldn't help but congratulate him. Last time, when Ouyang Jue was getting engaged, everyone received a red packet.

Ouyang Jue's face was extremely ugly. This kind of voice that sounded like the parrot of a tongue made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and he decided to expel the person who offered his congratulations to him in a while. However, when he opened the door of the Design Department, he was not spared from this matter.

Where did Ning Caier go? After passing through many obstacles, he finally arrived at Ning Caier's office. However, the front of the table was actually empty, and her clothes, as well as her handbag, were already gone. It was obvious that she had already left for a period of time.

Cai'er said that she wasn't feeling very well, and went home.

When Xiao Ningyuan read these news, he touched the cup of water in his hand, he finally understood why Ning Caier did not even have the strength to walk. He felt that his beloved disciple had been deceived, so he did not look good when he saw Ouyang Jue. Since he wanted to marry Xu Mengyun, there was no need to provoke his disciple at this time.

I understand, Teacher Xiao.

When Ouyang Jue came to the Design Department just now, his steps were considered steady, but now that he was running wildly in
