She’s Hard to Get - C279 Heavy message
“Hmph, I’ll deal with you guys when I get back!” Xia Wanru went back to her room nagging, and took the chance to avoid the fire of the day. Her family’s doctor came over and gave her an injection, which contained a large amount of sleeping pills, and she quickly fell asleep.
He knew that Xia Wanru did not want to sleep, but he was worried that Ouyang Jue would suspect that he was the family doctor if he found out that she was not asleep. Their relationship could help Xia Wanru accomplish a lot of things, and it would be a pity if it was exposed.
However, he still hid it so that Ouyang Jue wouldn’t find out that she was injured, but if it was another doctor, it wouldn’t be so easy to hide it from them.
“Mr. Ling, Madam Ling, I am truly sorry for today. My mother’s illness has been recurring throughout this period of time, but I could not cancel this family banquet because I never thought that my mother would be able to personally thank Xu’s for his help.”
When Ouyang Jue sat down again, he actually felt a sense of relief. His mother had finally fallen asleep, if not he didn’t know how he would have survived today.
“It’s okay, I don’t believe you, but I do believe in Mengyun. Furthermore, Xu Family can raise a child, she wouldn’t be so stupid as to miscarry.”
Ling Tian’s tone was a little insipid. Although he was angry, it was only because of this Madame Ouyang causing trouble, it had nothing to do with Xu Mengyun at all. He had known her for many years, so how could he not know whether Xu Mengyun had miscarried before? He had a set of medical reports on Xu Mengyun in his hands, there were many of them from the moment she was born in the hospital until now.
That was why Xu Mengyun often felt that she understood herself. He knew that in the fall, her throat would become dry and dry, and she knew that she was allergic to certain drugs, even to the point that she was very used to seeing doctors. This was actually all done by Ling Tian in advance, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to catch up to this young miss.
Moreover, with Xu Mengyun’s personality, she would not easily hand over to a man, if not, he would not have waited so many years before being able to marry her. After all, she was the only one who treated her like a husband, right?
It was just that this Xia Wanru had too many things to do. Since she was destroying Xu Mengyun’s reputation, if she were to say it in front of the reporters and not here, they would be in deep trouble. Therefore, Ling Tian regretted not killing this Madame Ouyang then.
Especially what kind of press conference was this Ouyang Family holding, if this woman went up to blabber nonsense, he would have to rely on them to clean up the mess.
“It’s good that Mr. Ling did not misunderstand. Actually, Ouyang Family and Xu’s’s cooperation is mutually beneficial. I hope that this big premise will not change because of such a small matter.”
Ouyang Jue could only hope to calm Ling Tian’s emotions now, and not let the Xu Group withdraw his funds. Right now, he was extremely anxious, and did not want to deal with this matter regarding the funds.
But Xu Mengyun had something else to say, and she could tell that this Madame Ouyang had an extremely serious flaw today. She was simply executing a low-level swindling technique, and with Ouyang Jue’s eyesight, she shouldn’t be able to discern it.
“Ouyang, isn’t it strange that your mother managed to get her hands on the jade bracelets from ten years ago? I remember you saying that apart from some essential materials, there’s nothing on that island. Even the jewelry that Madame Ouyang was wearing was from her marriage.
Xu Mengyun said calmly, and there were a lot of hidden meanings behind her words. Other than saying that this Madame Ouyang was bluffing, it was also to remind Ouyang Jue that this mother of his had never come out of the island in more than ten years.
She had come in contact with the things in the outside world, and even bought a lot of things, or maybe someone had given her something, so she must have seen a lot of other people, other than the people from Ouyang Family, who were her ears and eyes in this world. They were helping this Madame Ouyang gather information for her use, so this woman had been living on this island for a long time.
He knew that Xu Mengyun wanted to remind Ouyang Jue that the woman was not as simple as he looked. She had done a lot of small things behind her back these past few years, and his reason for coming back this time was still not pure.
However, Ouyang Jue was completely dumbstruck by the current situation. He simply could not comprehend Xu Mengyun’s words, and simply sat there in a daze without uttering a single word. As expected, the moment it came into contact with his mother’s matter, his intelligence was close to zero.
“That bracelet might be a little gift from father to mother. Sometimes, he would also send some things over, but every time, he would need his mother’s support. Moreover, it’s not strange for him to be so petty as to give away several hundred thousand gifts.”
Ouyang Jue did not understand why Xu Mengyun would focus her attention on the bracelet, it was just a small item in his eyes. Maybe his mother was unhappy because of the bracelet and Xu Mengyun, but a simple few hundred thousand would not even be enough for the two of them, that’s all.
“You are a child that cannot be taught.” Xu Mengyun didn’t know what to say to him. She wanted to tell Ouyang Jue directly that his mother was faking her illness, and if he caught her and went to an official hospital to have a look, he would definitely find out the problem. However, it seemed that Ouyang Jue didn’t have any intentions of examining his mother.
“Mother just doesn’t have a good memory. I can’t tell if it’s reality or fantasy, but I’m afraid that if I forcefully bring her to the hospital, it might provoke her, so I’ll properly settle this matter.” Ouyang Jue did not understand the main point of Xu Mengyun’s words. He was just summarizing Xia Wanru’s condition, which made Xu Mengyun shake her head.
“Ouyang Ziyun’s words make sense. The bracelet is indeed unimportant, but there’s one thing I need to hurry up and do, otherwise there will be big trouble.”
Ling Tian thought about something else, and that was to not let that woman speak nonsense, because he could not let the matter that happened today spread outside the Ouyang Family, so as to prevent those reporters from writing nonsense. Thus, he asked Ouyang Jue to publicize Xia Wanru’s condition, causing her to completely lose her credibility, this way she could explain whatever kind of place she was going to spout nonsense.
“Announce the illness? “Do you want everyone in the world to know that my mother has senile dementia?”
Ouyang Jue did not want the outside world to know about this matter, he felt that the fact that the two elders of the Ouyang Family had become like this was detrimental to the reputation of the clan. Hence, he kept talking to the reporters about the fact that his mother was resting at home.
He had always hoped that a miracle would happen and allow Xia Wanru to recover. Although he now understood that it was still impossible for Xia Wanru’s body to progress in the right direction, he still could not make such a decision. Once the condition was announced to his mother, she would be treated as a monster and would be treated as one that he would never be able to accept.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to make it public, but I will immediately bring a lawsuit for insulting another person’s reputation, and then the court will force your mother to go for a psychiatric examination.”
Ling Tian spoke very formally, and would even have to inform the lawyer to bring the documents over to the court to file a lawsuit. Ouyang Jue was also very familiar with this procedure, he knew that once the judicial process was initiated, there would be no way to salvage it, and the influence would definitely be harder than telling the truth at a press conference.
In reality, Ling Tian wanted to force the woman to speak honestly. Either admit that her illness was a scam in front of the whole hall, or admit that she was senile and unable to recover from it. If this Madame Ouyang admitted it, then she would never be able to return to business in her entire life.
“Can’t we delay it for a while? My mother’s emotions are very unstable right now.” Ouyang Jue knew that Ling Tian’s request was indeed reasonable, but he was worried that his mother wouldn’t be able to stand the criticism from outsiders.
“Ouyang, your mother’s rumors are enough to ruin Meng Yun and me. There is no room for negotiation.” Ling Tian stood up from the sofa, he had the look of someone who did not know how to change the situation, and even Xu Mengyun had expressed her agreement, this matter was too serious, she did not want to live the rest of her life in such a sorry state.
“Fine.”
Ouyang Jue let out a heavy sigh and reluctantly agreed to Ling Tian’s request. Tomorrow, he would hold a press conference to announce this matter, so as to not let Xu Mengyun suffer unnecessary losses.
“Then let’s go and join in on the fun tomorrow, I hope you can tell us the whole truth.”
Ling Tian was satisfied with the outcome of this matter, so he grabbed onto Xu Mengyun’s waist and left, but Ning Caier hoped that he would be able to sue Ling Tian, because only then would he be able to expose Madame Ouyang’s lie, but Ouyang Jue chose the latter, because he felt that this would stop this matter.
“Cai’er, go and see your mother.” Ouyang Jue wanted Ning Caier to see his mother’s condition. The most important thing was to make sure that she hadn’t woken up, so he had to make sure that his mother would not stop quarreling with him regarding this matter.
“It’s better if you go yourself. I’ll send you off to Miss Xu.”
When Xu Mengyun got in the car, Ning Caier suddenly mustered up the courage to chase after him. She knew that Xu Mengyun had already done her best to help, but she hoped that she could help her and Ouyang Jue again by telling him the truth. She knew that Xu Mengyun had seen through her and she had seen through it very clearly.
Xu Mengyun saw her in the rearview mirror. The current Ning Caier could already be described as a person with dishevelled hair, and the makeup on her face looked a lot weirder, but she did not seem to plan to stop, and instead used her body’s power to chase after.
When Xia Wanru’s maid saw Ning Caier rushing out, she wanted to stop him, but because Xu Mengyun’s car had not gone too far, and because they did not dare to do too much in her room, she could only remind him to make her think of her parents before she went to work. However, she ran out without a care in the world, as if a strong will was attached to her body.
