She’s Hard to Get - C288 refractory space

Even his dividends in the company were given out as usual. In this aspect, she was smarter than Ouyang Gu, if she forced her son too tightly, it would only cause him to betray her, so he had to have some sweet money, otherwise, how would he be able to stay by her side.

Therefore, all of the jewelry that Ouyang Jue gave Ning Caier was real, and priceless. This amount of money was nothing to the Wealthy Class, but to ordinary families, this was something that they would only be able to earn after a few lifetimes.

But Ning Caier had thrown it away just like that, as though Ouyang Jue’s heart had been smashed to the ground. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to make up for the injuries she had suffered, but this was also his intentions, so why was these feelings completely worthless in Ning Caier’s eyes.

All sorts of beads on the ground would inevitably be injured, so Ouyang Jue felt that he was somewhat helpless as he looked at these fragments. He did not pick up the box, but only pushed it slowly towards the door, so as to prevent Ning Caier from feeling that uneasy feeling.

“I just don’t want you to get hurt. There’s a war going on outside, and with your strength, you can’t go out and fight.”

Ouyang Jue knew that he had violated their oath, but this was only a white lie. Xu Family might be depressed now, but it was at least safe.

Right now, he was only worried about Ning Caier. In this merchant battle, every single one of them held a different weapon in their hands, and in their hands were the blood relations with Xia Wanru, as well as the human connection s and trust he had accumulated over the years in the TiaoAo Group.

But Ning Caier was just a weak girl, other than Ouyang Jue’s protection, she basically did not have the power to participate in the battle. Right now, Ouyang Jue was in a difficult situation outside, even he himself had no time to care about it, even if Ning Caier participated in it would only affect his fighting strength.

After all, being behind her back, her combat power was far inferior to his. In this kind of chaotic situation, such an approach wasn’t advisable. Ouyang Jue felt that his analysis was extremely rational, but unfortunately women were not rational creatures. Although Ning Caier did not refute her, she was definitely not able to accept it.

“Cai’er, believe me, we will definitely be together in the future.”

He wanted to get close to her and calm her emotions, but Ning Caier just shook her head repeatedly. This Wealthy Class door was much more complicated than what she had initially imagined, the pressure it gave off was enough to obliterate all of her consciousness and pride. She didn’t want to be affected by the word Wealthy Class, but she couldn’t decide on this matter.

Ouyang Jue had changed, he started to use the words Wealthy Class as an excuse, hoping to provide a reasonable explanation for his actions. But these were the words that he looked down upon the most, even if Ning Caier brought it up, he would definitely stop him from saying those words.

“Ouyang, you mean I will drag you down?”

Ning Caier felt that Ouyang Jue’s words were filled with disdain, which made her extremely disgusted. She had always felt that they were companions that could fight together, but why did he feel that he was a burden now? She had always had her own job, her own career, and she had achieved something.

Ouyang Jue had confirmed these results before, but why didn’t he want to admit it now at all? He still viewed her as a weak and incompetent girl.

“Cai’er, that is not what I mean, but it’s just that you don’t have enough experience after all. You are an outstanding designer, but you aren’t a very powerful operator.”

Ouyang Jue wanted to explain everything to Ning Caier as much as possible, but no matter what he said now, Ning Caier would not listen. She was only crying as if Ouyang Jue had imprisoned her and she wanted to have a life of her own, not a canary trapped in a cage.

“Anyway, if you have anything to say, wait for me to come back first.” The servants outside had already started to urge them to leave. Ouyang Jue could only leave for the time being as his mother was arranging a feast for all the cooperative merchants tonight, and this matter was of the utmost importance to him and he could not miss it. Furthermore, Xu Mengyun and Ling Tian had already waited on the carriage for a long time.

But when he opened the car door gloomily, he just happened to see Xu Mengyun extended her hand out and asked Ling Tian for one hundred yuan. The smiles on their faces seemed to be a wager for something.

“You two aren’t going to make me into a wager, are you? Tell me, what are the questions?”

There was still a bit of time before the banquet, so Ouyang Jue didn’t want to sit there like he always did, so he could only find a few things to talk about. In reality, he and Xu Mengyun had a lot of things to discuss, and wanted to know how to resolve the crisis between him and Ning Caier.

But thinking about it, they felt that it wasn’t appropriate. After all, they were going to face a tough battle, so it wasn’t the right time to talk about something that was too heavy.

“The two of us are betting on your expression when you walked out of that tower. Whether it was a smile or a sullen face, it’s clear that I guessed right. You’re in a very bad mood right now.”

The contents of Xu Mengyun’s bet had a great deal to do with what Ouyang Jue had encountered today. She had warned him before, that it wasn’t advisable to sever all contact with the outside world by Ning Caier.

For Ouyang Jue to still be able to come out safely, it already showed that Ning Caier loved him enough. If it was her, she would definitely heavily injure Ouyang Jue, and then flee for her life. Although that was the place the Xu Family resided, she did not want to be locked up there until the end of her life, let alone Ning Caier, who was in an environment she was not familiar with. She must be even more worried than she was.

Xu Mengyun understood Ning Caier’s situation these past two days. Ever since she came here, she had almost never eaten, and the most common thing she did every day was to stay in a daze by the window. Although the Xu Family’s balcony had a lot of sunlight, it was still unable to warm her lonely heart.

It seemed that she had guessed right, Ouyang Jue was indeed in a very bad mood. It seemed that the two of them had been through a huge argument and neither of them had been able to convince the other.

“You guessed right, Cai’er doesn’t want to live this kind of life, but I really didn’t expect Ling Tian to trust me so much, to actually guess that I could settle these matters.”

Ouyang Jue had indeed received Xu Mengyun’s gentle reminder, but he had felt that it was better to avoid the both of them. After all, Ning Caier’s body was already in the recovery stage, so it would be better for him to not touch too much information on the outside world.

In the past, even though he had explained it to her beforehand when they had forged a marriage alliance, he knew that Ning Caier did not completely believe that they did not have any feelings for each other. Especially since Xu Mengyun was so outstanding, it seemed that he could compare her to him at any time.

It was only until Xu Mengyun and Ling Tian’s marriage that this situation was resolved. However, at this time, Ouyang Jue’s mother suddenly appeared again, becoming Ning Caier’s other powerful enemy.

“I didn’t guess that you would be able to do it. My judgement is the same as Meng Yun’s, but she definitely wants me to stand on her side and bet with her, so I can only concede.”

Ling Tian immediately gave an explanation after hearing Ouyang Jue’s words, in case Ouyang Jue felt that there was something wrong with his judgement. Locking a person inside the tower, preventing her from contacting the outside world, in his opinion, was an extremely severe punishment. If it was him, he wouldn’t even be able to endure for three days.

Ouyang Jue was helpless because of his two good friends. He regretted starting a topic like this, and had allowed his entire journey to be criticized and educated, so in the end, even he started to doubt his original actions. Fortunately, the banquet had arrived soon, if not, he would have immediately returned to the Xu Family Mansion to return everything to Ning Caier.

Madame Ouyang had already been waiting for a long time. She stood on the balcony on the second floor as she watched Xu Mengyun, dressed in her luxurious clothing, enter the venue and let out a cold laugh. She gently raised her hand to touch her lips with the glass beside her;

However, her face was extremely pale. She had specially designed this makeup for herself and had applied three layers of powder to make her face look like a Japanese geisha. The reason for that was because she didn’t want anyone to see the expression on her face.

She knew that she was old after all, and if it was solely based on her aura and family background, she might not be able to compare to Xu Mengyun. Therefore, she used such a method to make herself look superior to Xu Mengyun in makeup.

Ouyang Jue did not go upstairs to look for Xia Wanru. He sent guests from all kinds of people, and not only was it to liaise with him, the most important thing was to accumulate human connection s for himself, so that more people could support him in taking charge of the affairs of the Heavenly Imperial City. At the same time, he was also preparing for the possibility that he might come out and do it by himself.

Ouyang Jue had never done this before, because at that time, he was the only heir to Sky Ou, and he did not need to purposefully lower his head to curry favor with him. But now that he had a strong enemy like his mother, he had to deliberately do something in order to preserve his own status and become the leader of Sky Ox Clan.

Ouyang Jue definitely would not give up halfway through his work. Since he accepted Xu Mengyun’s suggestion to stay in the Heavenly Pride Pavilion to handle various matters, he would definitely think of a way to do it, so the Xu Family would not have any trouble.

After all, Xu Family was the only one who had shown her absolute support. They were not cooperating with TiaoAo Group, but with Ouyang Jue.

She felt that this woman had given Ouyang Jue the courage and backing to fight against her. She knew that the possibility of her taking Xu Mengyun in as her disciple was not high, so she wanted to destroy her now to let everyone know what kind of ending it was to betray her and support Ouyang Jue.

“What do you think that Madame Ouyang wants to do today?”

Ling Tian had been staring at the stairs that led to the second floor. He felt that this thank you banquet was not that simple, Xia Wanru must have something that she wanted very much, and the Xu Family would very likely become a sacrifice for this matter.
