She’s Hard to Get - C266 Hidden Women

“The doctor said I’m fine, I just need to rest for a while. As for your investigation period, it’s tentatively set at one year. If you don’t make any mistakes, I’ll tear up the divorce agreement.”

Xu Mengyun’s answer was much better than what Ling Tian had expected, it was just that she already had a huge advantage over Xu Mengyun after a year of reprieve, as for Xu Mengyun’s other conditions, such as not eating vinegar or drinking alcohol, he agreed to them all. Finally, Xu Mengyun nodded her head in satisfaction and hugged his body tightly.

“I’m a bit tired, sleep with me for a while. You can’t leave until I wake up.” Xu Mengyun leaned on Ling Tian, but she could not feel the slightest sense of security. However, she knew that she had to delay Ling Tian, in case he would delay Ouyang Jue’s plans to transfer to the Madame Ouyang by contacting the people over there.

At least, Ling Tian did not follow them and cause trouble. Before the sky had even brightened, he had already arranged for a plane to fly Ning Caier and the bodyguards who were accompanying him to the city. It only took them three hours to fly to the city from here, but it also made Ning Caier nervous for an entire three hours.

When she left home, she gave Ouyang Jue a military order to ensure that he would definitely complete his mission. However, after boarding the plane, her entire mind tensed up, and even her smile became unusually stiff. She practiced in the mirror for a long time, but still couldn’t make the corner of her mouth rise normally. She wished now that she could put two pieces of transparent glue on her cheeks so that she could keep a bright smile on her face.

“Miss Ning, you don’t have to be so nervous. No master has already made arrangements, we just need to bring Madam back safely.”

Driver Old Wu followed Ning Caier. The bodyguards on the plane were all young people and no one had ever seen Madame Ouyang before, that was why Ouyang Jue specially sent him here. At least, this old servant in front of him was able to say a few words so that Ning Caier wouldn’t feel too awkward.

So when he saw Ning Caier’s anxious look, he immediately comforted him a little, saying that she made a mistake in her work, the more Ning Caier panicked, the higher the chance of making a mistake, and it would be better to just relax and act like she was facing her own seniors.

“Lao Wu, what kind of person is Madame Ouyang? Why is it that every time I ask about Ouyang Jue, she always speaks in a very obscure manner, as if she doesn’t want to be mentioned anymore?”

Her eyes were always looking out of the window of the plane, and her mind was completely blank. Every time Ouyang Jue brought up his mother, she would let out a long sigh, and all he said was that she was a very pitiful woman, and also a woman who valued the reputation of her family greatly.

However, Ning Caier knew that such a woman who had sacrificed herself without restraint must have had an unprecedented obsession with some things. Even the Miss Xu, who was in control of the consortium, was tortured to death by the name of the Wealthy Class reputation, let alone the Madame Ouyang, who did not have control of the company’s finances.

“Madam has been living on the island for so many years, her personality is unavoidably eccentric. However, she really cherishes and dotes on young master, as long as it’s something that young master likes, Madam will also like it. Miss Ning does not need to worry too much.”

Now that the Old Master Ouyang lived in the courtyard, the No master was the Madam’s backbone. Even if Ning Caier were to reveal her identity, she would not make things difficult for her.

“Really?” Ning Caier’s eyes immediately lit up. She started to think that she was overthinking it, maybe Madame Ouyang was just a very benevolent old man, like her mother who worked hard all her life for her family.

“Miss Ning, as long as you don’t have to be too nervous, Young Master will naturally take care of other matters.”

Lao Wu had always been loyal, but this was the first time he had lied. In fact, he was extremely worried in his heart, although Madam had lived on the island for many years, her judgement was extremely sharp. It would not be easy for Ning Caier to hide the relationship between him and Ouyang Jue and take her over.

Furthermore, she always hated women who were born normal, but wanted to enter the Wealthy Class. Although Ning Caier did not value Ouyang Jue’s property, she was afraid that she would not do so in the eyes of her mother.

The plane quickly arrived at the Madame Ouyang’s sanatorium. Ling Tian’s people had already been cleared away by Ouyang Jue’s bodyguards. Right now, everything around was normal, and there was no danger.

She took a deep breath and clenched her fists as she prepared to fight today’s battle. But when she entered the ward, she felt that the Madame Ouyang did not have any intention of leaving, and quietly sat down on the bed. She was still wearing her pajamas, and only had a thin woolen sweater draped over her shoulders.

“Madame Ouyang, No master wants us to bring you home.” Ning Caier donned a black suit and stood respectfully at the door of Madame Ouyang’s sickroom. She bent her body in a 90 degree bow, trying her best to appear professional, although Lao Wu said that it didn’t matter even if she revealed her identity, she absolutely would not dare to do such a thing.

But this posture continued for a whole minute, and did not receive any reply from the Madame Ouyang. It was as if she could not hear her voice and kept on looking out of the window, which was a large group of light blue colored lake water, filled with strangeness amidst the tranquility.

“Madame Ouyang, No master wants us to bring you home.” Ning Caier didn’t want to disturb her recuperation either, but Ouyang Jue had promised her that they must act quickly so that no accidents would happen, so she could only urge the Madame Ouyang to let everyone leave as soon as possible.

“Where did this girl come from?”

When she turned around, Ning Caier felt even more surprised. Her face was a little pale, but she had maintained herself extremely well, and it was impossible to tell that she was over fifty years old, and her eyes did not seem to be that of someone who had been sick for a long time. Her gaze was extremely sharp, different from Ouyang Gu’s craftiness, it was a gaze that looked down on everyone, as if the heavens and earth were beneath her feet.

“I’m sorry, Madame Ouyang, I was rude.”

Ning Caier kept apologizing, and her body couldn’t help but to move backwards, until her body was pressed against the wall of the corridor, and then she stopped, her heart pounding, and even the bodyguards beside her could hear it, and the look in Madame Ouyang’s eyes terrified her, it was a kind of coldness that could pierce through one’s bones.

Ning Caier’s body couldn’t help but shiver. She had never thought that Madame Ouyang would have such an appearance, the arrogance she was emitting from within her was even more powerful than Bai Youya’s. That aura made Ning Caier’s legs tremble, and she almost kneeled down.

“Don’t think that just because you coaxed the young master of a Wealthy Class into the bed that you think you’re from a Wealthy Class. In reality, you’re just a woman who has accompanied and slept with the Wealthy Class. You don’t have the qualifications to stand in front of others.”

The words of the Madame Ouyang were extremely ear-piercing, causing Ning Caier to feel her face flush red. She was not sure if the Madame Ouyang had heard of her name, so she could not say a single word while standing there biting her lower lip. She kept on telling herself that the person in front of her was Ouyang Jue’s mother, and that no matter what, as her elder, she had to endure.

However, this Madame Ouyang did not plan to let things go like this. It was true that Ouyang Jue did not tell her about Ning Caier, but the people following her were all old servants that had been around her for dozens of years. Now that Ouyang Jue had suddenly sent a girl over, she could naturally guess her identity.

She felt that her son was becoming more and more childish, to actually play such a small trick in front of her. His way of doing things was basically sending a sheep into a tiger’s den.

Even though she had lived on the island for all these years, she had still heard about her son breaking the engagement. She did not care that he had abandoned Bai Youya, as she had always felt that Bai Youya was too narrow-minded and did not deserve her own son.

However, he actually gave up on Xu Mengyun, which was a good marriage that many rich families wanted to get on to. This was unbearable for her, so she vented her anger on Ning Caier, wishing that she could just throw her off the plane and let her son form another marriage.

“Madam, young people will inevitably lose their language. Please forgive me.”

When he Driver Old Wu saw that something was amiss, she hurriedly stood in front of Ning Caier. Ouyang Jue did not know much about her own mother, but she could only hope that he would be his kind mother. At other times, she would be a queen who stood above everyone else, so he knew that before this queen could return to Ouyang Jue’s side, all of them would have to be extremely careful.

But fortunately, he still had some understanding about this lady, so he kept on bowing to her, causing her to feel that he was a noble and exalted person. He slowly walked to the front of Madame Ouyang and lightly called out, “Miss Xia, I’m afraid little young master has been waiting for a while.”

Madame Ouyang’s family name was Xia, and was named Xia Wanru. She was the only young miss of the Xia Clan Group, and couldn’t help but be spoiled ever since she was young, enjoying a life like a princess.

But it had been a long time since anyone called her by her name, and even when she applied for a passport, it was all done by her subordinates. Now that Lao Wu suddenly called her Miss Xia, it caused her to be startled for a moment, she had no choice but to admit that her time before marriage was indeed much better than before she got married.

But she knew that this was the fate of the Wealthy Class women, and that after generations, there was no way to struggle free. She raised her head to look at Lao Wu and let out a light sigh.

“How can there be any Miss Xia in this world? I wonder how long ago it was.”

Madame Ouyang’s face was filled with disappointment, but she still enjoyed what Lao Wu had said. She finally let go of and returned to her room to change her clothes, the expression on her face had changed from being arrogant just a moment ago to one of noble and generous like a noble woman.

The few servants in the nursing home immediately walked into the room. They were holding clothes and jewelry in their hands, as well as an exquisite washbasin and comb. It seemed that everything in Madame Ouyang was still the same as what it was a hundred years ago, a rich young miss.

She even felt that this Madame Ouyang was acting out some kind of play, which was why she had hurriedly stood beside Lao Wu when she saw her closing the door, “Lao Wu, what’s going on?”

“Miss Ning, don’t talk so much today. Madam is in a bad mood.” Driver Old Wu’s voice was very low, to the point that it sounded indistinct. He knew that his wife’s ears were extremely sensitive, so he was sure that he had heard what Ning Caier said just now. That was why he forcefully pulled on Ning Caier’s sleeve, allowing her to stand behind him.
