She’s Hard to Get - C293 final reconciliation
Xu Mengyun had always wanted to marry the daughter-in-law the most. She had once praised to such an extent before, but how could this Madame Ouyang treat Xu Mengyun as her enemy in the short span of a few days?
Such a plot reversal caused Ning Caier’s mind to be in a complete mess. How could the alliance of interests that were originally standing together suddenly turn into a tit for a tat?
“It’s indeed the Madame Ouyang, Xia Wanru felt that I was supporting Ouyang Jue from the back, so she decided to make sure that the Xu Group took care of everything and continued to control her son’s life. Now that all the elders in the Xu Family are making trouble for me, I could only come here and hide.”
Xu Mengyun shrugged her shoulders to express her helplessness. She wanted to use this matter to tell Ning Caier how serious the battle outside was, the reason why she was able to obtain the Pure Land was because of Ouyang Jue’s care and concern. Otherwise, she would have become cannon fodder long ago.
“What does the Madame Ouyang want to do? Ouyang Jue is her only son. Why does she want to control his life?” Ning Caier never thought that the woman’s desire to control others was actually this great. What he wanted to control was not Ouyang Jue’s marriage, but every single aspect of it, including his entire life.
However, how could a person use his own son as a pawn again? Such feelings couldn’t even compare to a commoner family like Ning Caier. Although Ning Caier’s parents didn’t give her a very good life, they had at least given her endless care and care. She couldn’t imagine what would happen if she had parents like these.
“That woman’s behavior is very crazy, she doesn’t care about the cost and only wants to destroy it. But she originally wanted to make Ling Tian divorce me, it was just that she did not succeed.”
Xu Mengyun said with a complacent look, completely looking like a proud little woman. Ling Tian’s performance on this matter became a part of his plans, causing Xu Mengyun to have a whole new level of respect for him, and feel that he was a good man.
However, right after, she realized that she shouldn’t express her love so openly in front of Ning Caier. Her feelings right now were even more severe than a broken heart, and it wouldn’t be easy for her to rebuild her trust in love.
It doesn’t matter if you still covet the future for Ouyang Jue, at the very least, on account of him helping you in the past, you should properly stay here.
Xu Mengyun wanted Ning Caier to understand the severity of the war outside, but it was really hard for those who had never participated in the fight with the Wealthy Class to understand how difficult it was for them, so she could only use this matter to make Ning Caier stay.
If she had to use these two words as a reason, she would definitely agree. Even if Xu Family was a prison, she would willingly be imprisoned here for the sake of Ouyang Jue.
“Alright, I promise you, I will stay in Xu Family properly before this battle ends. I won’t cause any trouble for either of you.”
Ning Caier had promised Xu Mengyun. Indeed, if Ouyang Jue had not made a love affair with her, based on the things he had done for her, it would definitely be enough for her to spend her entire life to repay him.
“It’s good that you understand this logic.”
Xu Mengyun knew that Ning Caier did not actually understand their lives, but she knew that she had to return now, because the lights in the’s mansion had already been turned off. Ling Tian’s movements were fast enough, it only took her two hours to settle the matter that she had not completed in all these years.
She didn’t want to go down this dark and strange staircase again, but she didn’t have her cell phone with her, and this room couldn’t be contacted by the outside world, so she now felt it was very difficult to communicate with the outside world. She looked at the room in this tower and wanted to put on a pair of guest slippers to go down, but she wasn’t used to wearing shoes so she looked out at the stairs and wondered if she should go down barefooted.
“Miss Xu, wait a moment. Mr. Ling will definitely come to pick you up.”
Ning Caier looked at the big house in the Xu Family in the distance. She could see a black shadow moving on the lawn, although there were many bodyguards here, she could still see that this person’s figure was different.
This wasn’t the way a bodyguard walked. Normally, their patrols wouldn’t move too quickly. Instead, they walked in circles. Right now, this figure couldn’t possibly be a bodyguard.
“Your analysis is correct, but it can’t be Ling Tian. He didn’t know I was here.”
Xu Mengyun also looked down the stairs, but she could not see any difference in these black shadows, even if she was even more familiar with a person’s appearance and footsteps, it would be impossible for her to judge a person’s figure to flash past such a high place under such a dim light, so she felt that this was probably a servant, but a servant would at least be able to get her a pair of shoes.
“Believe me, Miss Xu, the people I observe the most are these people. Their movements have their own rules, so I can determine if any of them are coming towards me.”
Ning Caier did not have much confidence in herself, but she was very sure of this, because she had counted every minute and every second she had spent here. Sometimes she would watch the clocks on the wall turn by turn, and the countless shadows had already become her daily lifestyle.
Furthermore, although she was unable to clearly see their faces, the movement speeds and routes of the members of each position in Xu Family were different. She could easily determine who were their servants and who were their bodyguards from the movements of these people.
Xu Mengyun felt that Ning Caier was a little pitiful. This place was indeed similar to a prison, it was just that the larger the room, the better. However, she really admired her skill in observing things.
But before she could say anything, the door to the room was instantly pushed open. A tall figure stood at the door, causing Xu Mengyun to immediately reveal a sweet smile.
“It seems like I should ask them to change the way they patrol. Even you can see the pattern. The others will definitely be able to observe as well. This is too dangerous.”
The one who pushed the door open was Ling Tian, and he heard what Ning Caier had said just now, and felt that this analysis was somewhat reasonable. The bodyguards in the courtyard had all been patrolling along a set optimal route for a long time, and there had not been any changes for a long time.
Thus, when he went back, he would immediately make changes to this method of patrolling so that they could change their movements. Only then would he be able to ensure that there were no mishaps in the Xu Family Mansion, especially when he was so sensitive, Xia Wanru’s stomach was full of insidious moves, he did not know whether he would send people over to attack.
“Why did you come up so quickly? I left for quite some time just now.”
Xu Mengyun was naturally happy to see Ling Tian. She walked over and gently held his arm, as if waiting for his savior to lift her, a princess, out of the castle. Xu Mengyun felt thahee and Ling Tian shared a mutual understanding, so he couldn’t hide the smile on his face. Although she had restrained himself in front of Ning Caier, she still couldn’t hide the bright look in his eyes.
She could not wait to go home and listen to the results of today’s battle. The elders of Xu Family were not easy to deal with, she had already understood this point long ago. But when she saw the confidence on Ling Tian’s face, she knew that she had most likely succeeded.
“Naturally, my physical strength is much better than yours. Let’s go, I’ll carry you down, so as to not disturb Miss Ning’s rest.”
Ling Tian squatted at the door of the room, and asked Xu Mengyun to lie on his body. It was not difficult for him to obtain Xu Mengyun’s whereabouts, as the entire courtyard could be asked by his bodyguards, but he did not want to ruin Xu Mengyun’s beautiful imagination, so he made an appearance as if she had already guessed it herself.
“Can you carry me?” Xu Mengyun asked as she laid her body on the ground. Of course she knew that Ling Tian had extremely good stamina, even if she weighed several tens of kilograms it wouldn’t be a problem, but she was worried about the scars on his back and was afraid that the new skin and flesh would be ripped apart. So she kept holding onto Ling Tian’s neck, wanting to lessen the pressure on his back.
She also wanted to maintain this relationship with Ouyang Jue, so there was no need for her to do many things. As long as she could accompany him for a few words when she missed him so much, she wouldn’t even be able to realize this tiny wish of hers right now.
She watched as her cell phone kept dialing the same number, but the phone was restricted and she couldn’t dial a single number.
Therefore, she wanted to apologize to Ouyang Jue. She knew that he must be in a more difficult situation than Xu Mengyun, since everyone was living a difficult life, why should she ask him to come and save her?
Ning Caier looked at the darkness and suddenly did not know what to do. Xu Mengyun had already told her that she could not call him, but she did not want to believe it, and wished for a miracle to happen in this world.
“Are you calling me?”
When they entered her room, it was as if they had never heard of knocking at all. As long as she did not lock the door, everyone’s choice was to push open the door and enter, but the person in front of her felt like she was dreaming, she did not think that Ouyang Jue would actually appear here.
“How did you get here? Miss Xu said that you have a very important matter to attend to today.” Ning Caier threw her phone to the side. Although Ouyang Jue was standing right in front of her, she couldn’t believe that it was real. She only felt that reality was real when she hugged him tightly.
No matter how warm the room was, it didn’t have the warmth from his chest. She didn’t want to argue with him anymore, she just wanted to stay with him.
