She’s Hard to Get - C258 Investigate Ancestors

“Cai’er is actually very capable. Today’s turnover should have exceeded our expectations, and perhaps in less than three to five years, our New store will be as powerful as our TiaoAo Group.”

Ouyang Jue was full of confidence, he was already impatient to go downstairs to take a look at the amount, maybe they would even count the amount of goods they had bought, and then find a processing factory to sew clothes, with such a large sales volume, Ning Caier could not finish it all by herself.

“Just based on such a small place, you think you can stand shoulder to shoulder with the TiaoAo Group?” Ling Tian looked at the miserable environment in front of him and felt that Ouyang Jue was daydreaming. He knew very well how big the turnover of a shop was, even if he were to spend a hundred years in a small shop like this, he might not even be able to get a 1% of the turnover of a shop like this.

Furthermore, he felt that Ouyang Jue’s horizons were really too narrow, to actually be excited by such a small business deal. He was someone who had done hundreds of millions of yuan worth of business, so this little turnover shouldn’t even enter his eyes.

“This place is pretty good. Actually, not everyone is from a wealthy family. Many people started their business from scratch and it was pretty good, not to mention that Ouyang Ziyun has a lot of human connection s in the business world these years. They are very helpful to him in his business.”

Xu Mengyun could smell the tension between the two men, so she peeled a grape and fed it to Ling Tian to stop him from talking.

Ouyang Jue was a man who wouldn’t take a beating. He must have avoided the matter of the Madame Ouyang because it was him who was suffering. Even if he wanted to mention it, he should have used a more tactful method. If he continued asking like this, there would be no end to it.

“That’s right, this is pretty good for me. However, can you two hide from me for a while?” Ouyang Jue felt that Ling Tian and Xu Mengyun were purposely showing their love in front of him, that Ning Caier had no time to bother with them now, that he didn’t want to see the high sugar combination so easily.

“This is our usual practice at home, and we are all so familiar with each other. Isn’t your place our place?”

Xu Mengyun took the lead and expressed her attitude first. Ling Tian felt very satisfied after hearing it, they had indeed been living a very sweet life recently, and he quickly discovered that women’s words were much more tactful than men’s.

“Ouyang, we plan to go out for a walk in two days. We’d like to stop by to see Aunt Ouyang on the way. Do you have anything we can take with us?”

Xu Mengyun wiped her hands with a wet tissue and asked casually, but Ling Tian could hear that her words had forced Ouyang Jue to a dead end. Before coming here, he had already found the place where Ouyang Gu had placed his Madame Ouyang under house arrest.

Most of her body were chronic diseases, which were not fatal and only required a long period of recuperation. There was no problem leaving the hospital for a short period of time, and her city was not far from it. She would be there in a few hours by private jet.

Now, as long as Ouyang Jue nodded his head and agreed, he could immediately send people to rescue Madame Ouyang. As long as he could fulfill the condition of agreeing to Xu’s when he regained his position as the CEO.

“Since Madam Ling has already investigated this matter thoroughly, you should understand that it is impossible for you to meet my mother.” Ouyang Jue knew how powerful Ling Tian’s power was. If he were to focus his investigations on his own mother, it was impossible for him to not know that she was under house arrest.

He knew that Xu Mengyun wanted to force him to do so so that he could face her mother’s question head on, but such a question was basically peeling him off alive, revealing the most painful side of his heart. Although Xu Mengyun had done things in the past with great ability and decisiveness, she would not prick her scars.

Xu Mengyun rolled her eyes at Ouyang Jue, how could she not understand the hidden meaning behind the words Madam Ling? He was clearly taking this opportunity to express her dissatisfaction, and felt that Ling Tian’s investigation of the Ouyang Family was beyond his power, while Xu Mengyun had actually allowed him to do so as an accomplice.

“I did indeed hear some news. However, I was afraid that you would insist on saving face and refuse to ask for help. Thus, I wanted to force you to tell me the truth.” Xu Mengyun did not hide anything from the investigations she had made. Other than the current situation of the Ouyang Family, she had also learned a lot of the history of the Ouyang Family from her seniors.

She felt that the most effective way was to bring out the Madame Ouyang. Otherwise, everything would just be Ouyang Jue hiding the truth from her ears, and he wouldn’t be able to solve the actual problem.

“Ouyang Jue, the relationship between our two families have long become very close, your matters are my, Ling Tian’s, matters, if you need anything, just say so.”

Ling Tian also thought that Ouyang Jue didn’t want to trouble others in order to let this matter be taken lightly and then settle it on his own after they left, but Ling Tian was someone who absolutely had to repay favors, and the kindness Ouyang Jue had shown him and Xu Mengyun was definitely not just as simple as the one million. Therefore, he was willing to use his own resources to fulfill a wish for him, and furthermore, when he investigated the history of the Ouyang Family, he found out the background of this lady, which made him feel even more pity for her.

He was shocked that a young lady born in a noble family would be willing to sacrifice her life for the sake of love. He was willing to help her and reunite her with his son due to her perseverance and determination.

“Mr. Ling, this is my personal matter and I will take care of it myself.”

Ouyang Jue was extremely annoyed by the couple’s enthusiasm. How could a family’s problem be explained clearly through some information? Hence, he answered resolutely, directly refusing to listen to Xu Mengyun’s and Ling Tian’s good intentions.

If he interfered, he would definitely be able to save his mother. However, the problem for him right now wasn’t rescuing her, but how to arrange for his mother to return.

He didn’t want her to get involved with this battle between the father and son duo, but once he forced her back to his side, Ouyang Gu would be able to hurt her hundreds of times more. So Ouyang Jue couldn’t easily take action, and could only think of a way to make a few more phone calls with her mother to take care of her life as much as possible.

He did not want to talk about these unspeakable family matters to anyone else, even Ning Caier himself held back. He was afraid that his complicated background would affect her judgement on him.

Because of the disparity between the two families’ environments, her parents had always had a grudge between them, and they had always indirectly asked if Ning Caier was with them. If she were to add this complicated background, even if Ning Caier’s parents were to bring her back to the village, they would never marry Ning Caier to him.

Ouyang Jue knew that he couldn’t blame them, because the history of the Ouyang Family was so complicated that even he wasn’t willing to look through it. It was a bloody battle history.

Even he couldn’t understand these things, let alone others. Ning Caier’s parents both came from a simple and warm family, they had experienced the wind and rain and snuggled together, that kind of lifestyle was simple and blissful. How could such a person accept the secret behind the internal conflict in the Wealthy Class?

Ouyang Jue’s father did not love his mother, and Ouyang Jue knew this long ago, but he had a way to control her. Ouyang Jue was her biggest concern, her greatest hope, but no matter how strong his own abilities were, he could never become the strongest man in her mother’s heart.

Moreover, he knew that his mother still loved his father from the bottom of her heart. If this old man was willing to turn the tables and abandon his friends to accompany her for the rest of her life, she would definitely forget all the grudges from the past and spend the rest of her life with this man.

“Ouyang, I know that this matter is related to the Ouyang Family’s family matters, but Ling Tian’s subordinates are all very strict, and will definitely not speak carelessly, furthermore, leaving Aunt alone is not a long term solution, so I might as well take this opportunity to bring her back.”

Xu Mengyun was truly worried for the safety of the Madame Ouyang. She was also a woman, and knew how hopeless her beloved was when she wasn’t herself, so even if Ouyang Gu didn’t do anything to her, her mental state was still worth worrying about. Leaving her alone in an unfamiliar place was obviously not safe.

“Don’t worry about her. That woman isn’t related to us at all. Even his own mother doesn’t want to save her. Why would we want to wade into this muddy water?”

Ouyang Jue was furious before he could reply, the atmosphere which was filled with smiles just a moment ago had already become a sea of fire, a great war that could exterminate all humanity seemed to be about to erupt.

“Hubby, calm down, you’re still a few years older than me, how can you be so fussy like a child? Ouyang, you’re the same, Ling Tian had good intentions, don’t lose your temper.”

He had known Ling Tian for many years, so he naturally knew his way of speaking and doing things. The words he had said to Ouyang Jue just now were already very gentle, and the number of times he had heard such gentle words before they had married was not many.

Furthermore, she knew that Ling Tian was giving face to everyone, and that those who did not give him face in the Jianghu had basically gone to meet the King of Hell, and now that Ouyang Jue had rejected his good intentions in front of him, it was a huge violation of the rules. If Ouyang Jue did not take care of this matter properly and allowed Ling Tian to take this attitude, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Even if he was their benefactor, in Ling Tian’s heart, this did not mean that they would not become enemies.

“Ouyang, do you think I am willing to participate in your family’s affairs? Isn’t it because of this matter that involves the cooperation between Tian Ao and Xu Group, Old Ouyang is just a drag now, he would retort about the profits you promised Xu’s back then, Ouyang, I can honestly tell you that I do not have the time and energy to fight a lawsuit.”

Ling Tian was embarrassed by Ouyang Jue, he came over to help him with full sincerity, but Ouyang Jue did not seem to appreciate his help, he just stuffed everything back into his mouth, thus he was a little angry now, he had no choice but to turn his friendly help into a threat. If that old man Ouyang Gu acted recklessly, he did not guarantee that he would not do anything to him.

“That’s true. Once Xu Group and TiaoAo Group have a fight, their prices will definitely drop greatly, so why don’t you discuss it with Uncle Ouyang and get us to settle this matter privately? Hubby, what do you think?”

Xu Mengyun held onto the back of Ling Tian’s hand, telling him not to speak for the time being. Ouyang Jue had helped them the entire time, and now that the situation had turned stiff, it was useless for anyone.

Ling Tian was so angry at this scene that he almost died. It was rare for him to help someone out with good intentions, but he ended up like this, as expected, he was more suited to be a bad guy.

“I just need to know that you’re a good person.”
