She’s Hard to Get - C287 Lying is Difficult to Circle

“Help me send letters to these magazines and have them apologize for this matter!” When Ouyang Jue saw these reports, he was infuriated, so he slammed these newspapers onto the table. He knew who was behind this, but he had no way to kill this mastermind. Therefore, he could only find these magazines to vent his anger and make them shut their mouths a little!

“The rumors in the media have been going on for decades. Why do you care so much?”

The media would sometimes be a tool that they could use, there was no need to offend them. Moreover, the more Ouyang Jue did it, the more powerful these people’s counterattacks would be. Could it be that Ouyang Jue wanted to freeze the entire media?

“I said that Cai’er is my girlfriend, and now that they have made her look so terrible, it means that they are going against the entire Ouyang Family. If they still refuse to retaliate even after receiving such humiliation, outsiders will just stand to the side and watch.”

He had given her face in front of the media, but that did not mean that he would truly give up on Ning Caier. His retreat was not without a bottom line, and if Xia Wanru insisted on doing so, he would not obediently yield.

Tonight, I will host a banquet to thank all the merchants related to the TiaoAo Group. Thank you for your trust and tolerance towards the TiaoAo Group during this period of time. You can go and fetch the young miss of the Xu Family.

These past few days, he had been planning in the group, in order for all the cooperation plans to proceed normally. But he had been worried since the beginning that Ning Caier would be harassed by his mother in the hospital, so after she was discharged, he begged Xu Mengyun to keep her, and he left her in the Xu Family’s mansion.

He thought that Xia Wanru would definitely not know about this secret, but he never thought that she would actually receive the news in just a single day. Right now, she told Ouyang Jue to go and take Xu Mengyun to the banquet, it was fake. She told him that she already knew that the little trick he played was real.

As a result, Ouyang Jue became a little absent-minded when he went to Xu Family Big House, and almost bumped into a small truck on the way there. He was afraid that something might happen to Ning Caier, but he did not dare to call Xu Mengyun, afraid that he would be able to confirm this matter.

Until he turned into the vicinity of the Xu Family’s mansion, he was finally able to calm his pounding heart. This was because the mansion looked normal, even the workers who watered the plants were working methodically, it seemed like nothing big had happened.

“I thought you would come here after the banquet ended. Aren’t you afraid of being suspected by others when you come to the Xu Family?”

Xu Mengyun walked down the stairs gracefully. She was wearing a black and white outfit today, and instead of a skirt, she was wearing pants, looking as capable as ever. If not for the exaggerated black diamond earrings in her ears that made her stained with the smell of a banquet, Ouyang Jue felt that she would be negotiating with someone.

Normally, when he participated in such occasions, he would at most wear a casual suit. But today, in order to match Xu Mengyun’s outfit, he actually wore a tuxedo, and wasn’t even dressed like this on the day of their wedding. This made Ouyang Jue feel that these two people were definitely abnormal.

“My mother asked me to come. She said she wanted me to come and pick you up, but the two of you are too well-dressed today.” When Ouyang Jue himself said these words, he felt that it was really inconceivable. This fact didn’t make sense, how could the host of a banquet like this be going to the guest’s house?

Not to mention Xu Mengyun and Ling Tian, who looked even weirder, Xu Mengyun was not the type of person who liked to wear jewelry, but the few pieces of jewelry she had on her today were all extraordinary treasures that would be hard to buy even if she was rich. It’s just that the color was too simple and elegant.

“You aren’t here to pick us up. It’s a written challenge from the Madame Ouyang. How can we not concentrate on the battle?”

Xu Mengyun joked that she was wearing a battle robe and Madame Ouyang had a lot of good stuff on her hands. She would never be able to compare to the jewelry that could restore the ancientness, but she was very confident about this point.

In any case, Ling Tian had a lot of natural jade ore with his, all of them were his own things, she could have as many as she wanted.

“That’s right, if we are to compare our wealth, Ouyang Family is not as strong as the combined strength of the two of us.” Ling Tian also helped them on the side. Other than his watch, he did not bring anything else with him, but Xu Mengyun was his best name card. As long as she appeared abnormally in front of anyone, his strength would naturally be obvious.

“I can’t outspeak you two, so I’ll go take a look at Cai’er. In a bit, we’ll go together.”

Ouyang Jue had had enough of these two lovey dudes. His mother seemed to have become the catalyst for their relationship, and ever since she had come back, Xu Mengyun’s and Ling Tian’s relationship had been increasing day by day. This could also be considered as a good thing that Xia Wanru had done after she returned.

‘s room was not located in the main building of Xu Family’s mansion, but was in a tower at the side. Here, there was a pretty good viewing platform, and one could see the lakeside scenery.

Furthermore, the people of Xu Family took care of everything, and there were more than 10 guards patrolling at the bottom of the tower. They were all the elites under Ling Tian’s command, and they guaranteed that no one could enter while they were not doing so, but at the same time, without Ouyang Jue’s permission, Ning Caier would not be able to leave.

Ouyang Jue kept walking up the winding staircase. The tower was about twenty meters tall, which was equivalent to the seventh floor of the regular floors. In order to preserve the ancient scent, Xu Mengyun did not install an elevator in the tower, and had to walk to get in.

Ouyang Jue did not care about this little bit of physical strength, it was just that this flight of stairs was a little too narrow, and could not help but make people feel depressed. When Ouyang Jue reached the top floor, he was already somewhat out of breath, because the burden in his heart was much heavier than the burden on his body. He told Ning Caier a lie, and this lie could be exposed at any time.

“Ouyang, are you here to pick me up?”

When Ning Caier saw Ouyang Jue, she pounced towards him and hugged his neck tightly, happy like a little bird. Although the people of Xu Family treated her very well, she still felt that this place was like a cage, wishing that she could fly out of here right now.

Xu Mengyun said that for the sake of her peace of mind, they took away her phone. This room did not have a television nor a computer, only books could be similar to the outside world, but the things recorded in those books were not the life of this world. It was like an ancient curse, causing Ning Caier to be unable to leave anything else other than fear.

So she wanted to leave this place. Even if she couldn’t stay with Ouyang Jue, she wanted to find her parents, who could live abroad, or go to a place that she didn’t know. She didn’t want to stay in this tower anymore.

“Not yet. The group has too much work to do, so I can’t take care of you. I told Mengyun to do this because there’s no electronic equipment here, and you still need to rest. When you’re better, I’ll take you out.”

Ouyang Jue was afraid that Ning Caier would hear those discordant voices, and he was afraid that she would know that he had said in front of everyone that he did not plan to marry her, so he allowed Xu Mengyun to take away everything that he could contact the outside world with in order to prevent Ning Caier from suffering a second injury.

“Madame Ouyang doesn’t agree that we should stay together, right? You lied to me, didn’t you? ”

Ning Caier gently pushed Ouyang Jue away. Previously, when she was in the hospital, he had told her that Xia Wanru had agreed to their request, because he had threatened her mother with her life, so she had conceded in the end. It was just that she had made the condition that he did not want to be together with Ning Caier, so he had to give her an appropriate arrangement.

should have seen through such a simple lie. Madame Ouyang hated her so much, and wished that he could immediately tear her body apart.

“Mother is indeed rather stubborn, but I will slowly persuade her.” Initially, Ouyang Jue only said this kind of lie in hopes that she would be able to recuperate peacefully. He didn’t want her to know that he and his mother had broken off their relationship and also didn’t want her to know that he was already a nameless CEO in the group.

He had indeed lied to her, but it was out of good intentions. After things in the group go smoothly, he would leave the group, or when things changed, his mother would be willing to accept Ning Caier.

Ouyang Jue’s thoughts were simply too idealistic. He thought that Ning Caier would understand anything he said, but he ignored the argument they had a while ago, because of his excessive trust in his mother. Ning Caier’s trust in him was no longer what it used to be.

Once this gap was created, it would be a type of destructive damage to their relationship. After all, the most important thing that they lost to each other was trust, so when Ouyang Jue lied to her again, the anger in her heart was not something that Ouyang Jue could understand.

“You actually lied to me. You said that you would never lie to me.”

Ning Caier’s voice was trembling. She slowly loosened her grip on his clothes and involuntarily backed off until she leaned against a cabinet. She felt that Ouyang Jue had changed, become a little unacceptable to her.

If marrying into the Ouyang Family meant that he had to give up all of his principles, she would rather that their relationship never happened. She could endure his eccentric mother for him, but he couldn’t lie all over for the sake of harmony on the surface.

If the marriage between her and Ouyang Jue was built on a lie, she would rather not have it. However, looking at the situation now, Ouyang Jue would not be able to afford to give her a marriage even if it was filled with lies.

“Take these things away. I don’t need your things, and I don’t need your protection.” Ning Caier threw the thing in her hand towards Ouyang Jue. It was still a box, and inside it was all of the jewelry that Ouyang Jue had given her.
