She’s Hard to Get - C296 Ning Caier's decision
“I will naturally arrange Cai’er’s matters, but don’t force me, Meng Yun, no matter how much Xia Wanru does, she is still my mother after all. She is different from the relatives outside your door, she is the one who raised me, I cannot personally send her to jail.”
Ouyang Jue felt an enormous pressure. Of course, he knew that doing this would be unfair to Ning Caier, but he couldn’t do something so cruel to his own mother. Even if he wasn’t willing to admit that he was her son, there was no way that their blood ties could change.
“Ouyang, you will regret it sooner or later.”
Xu Mengyun stood there and shook her head. She did not know why Ouyang Jue had become so weak at this moment. She and Ling Tian had already helped him arrange everything, as long as he nodded, it would be fine.
“Recently, every decision I made was filled with regret. That’s why I wanted to think things through. There is no chance for me to make amends for this matter.”
Ouyang Jue was exceptionally cautious regarding this matter. He knew that he had let Ning Caier down, and had also let Xu Mengyun and Ling Tian do so many things for him, with the resources they had at their disposal, it was enough to put the Ouyang Family to death. However, not only did they not do that, they even wanted to help him get on his throne.
However, he had always believed that Xia Wanru still had a trace of kinship left. She would not be too ruthless with her actions, and in the end, she would still leave them a chance of survival.
“Sorry Meng Yun.” Ouyang Jue sincerely apologized to Xu Mengyun. He knew that she and Ling Tian were thinking about him, but this time, he could only let down her good intentions.
“You don’t have to tell me you’re sorry. The person you really owe is in that tower.”
Xu Mengyun pointed to the tower in the courtyard. She felt that the reason why Ning Caier felt pain was because she had high hopes, she could see the news online and knew that Ouyang Jue had a very good chance of rebelling against his mother, which was her only hope to return to his side. However, the man she loved now wanted to extinguish this hope with her own hands.
After Xu Mengyun finished speaking, he returned upstairs in a huff. She had already had enough of becoming the lobbyist between Ouyang Jue and herself, so she let Xu Mengyun pass on those difficult words and those untenable reasons to him. But these reasons were something that even Xu Mengyun couldn’t convince him of, so how could she convince Ning Caier?
Ouyang Jue knew that Xu Mengyun was truly angry, he had not been able to personally explain to Ning Caier in such a long time, it was not because he wanted to shirk responsibility, but because he did not have the face to see her, nor did he have the courage to say those words.
He went to the tower, and only after hesitating at the entrance for a long time did he dare knock on the wooden door. There was no response from the room, and no sound came out, Ouyang Jue felt that it was weird, normally, Ning Caier was very sensitive to voices, so he would know that he had arrived as long as he stood at the door.
“Cai’er?”
Ouyang Jue could only push open the door, but he did not see Ning Caier at all. Looking at the empty room, he panicked a little, he opened all the cabinet doors, and did not even miss the drawers under the bed or the floating window, but no matter how he searched, he did not see Ning Caier anywhere. He felt that Xu Mengyun was making a joke out of him, and she must have hidden her.
“Cai’er, where did you go?” He shouted from the window, hoping that his voice would reach her. This tower was very tall, and its range of sound was very large, so he suddenly saw a familiar figure turn his head to glance at him. Although he couldn’t see her face due to the distance, he knew that she was definitely his Cai’er.
“Cai’er, why are you outside?” He felt that Ning Caier was really too close to the side of the pool. Thinking about how she was not in a good condition, he was afraid that she would commit suicide, so he grabbed her wrist tightly to prevent her from falling into the lake water s.
Miss Xu said that if I feel bored, I can walk around the tower.
Ning Caier turned her head to look at Ouyang Jue, she had not seen the scenery outside of Xu Family’s mansion for a lot of days, and Xu Mengyun was afraid that she would feel bored and sick inside, so she was allowed to wander around outside for a few hours every day. However, she had to be under the protection of a bodyguard, and she had to stay in the vicinity of Xu Family.
Unless they were shot from afar, no one would be able to kill anyone in the courtyard of the Xu Family. Even if someone succeeded, the one who would have the most of a headache would be the Mr. Ling, and he would definitely be worried for Xu Mengyun’s safety at all times. He might even give up on the big house of the Xu Family and live in an indestructible fortress.
“It’s good that you’re fine.” Ouyang Jue daring to ask Ning Caier to come out was definitely because of his own arrangements. If this city couldn’t even protect Ning Caier, then there wouldn’t be a place that was safe.
“Why did you come to the Xu Family so often recently? I saw the news on the internet that said that the Madame Ouyang might be in trouble, don’t you want to stay home and take care of it?”
Ning Caier would see the news every day on her phone. That official, in order to protect herself, had sent out many people, including the Madame Ouyang, who said that the matters of the Xu Family were arranged by the Madame Ouyang. Furthermore, she made him do a lot of things previously, all of them were transactions involving money rights.
This kind of news had a huge impact on the TiaoAo Group, but Xia Wanru was smart, the official did not have any solid evidence. Adding to the fact that he had a lot of people on her side, many people said that he was just randomly trying to climb over the wall to bite him, this kind of situation allowed Xia Wanru to escape for the time being. However, if the Xu Group continued to chase after him relentlessly, relying on Ling Tian’s ability, she would definitely find a lot of evidence.
“I don’t need to intervene in the matters of the TiaoAo Group. My mother is abnormally wary of me, and would never let me touch the affairs of the company unless absolutely necessary. Cai’er, will you blame me for not listening to Meng Yun’s arrangements?”
The only thing that Ouyang Jue felt guilty about was Ning Caier. If Xia Wanru did not hand over the authority of the Ouyang Family, then Ning Caier would not be able to return to his side. The longer he hesitated, the slimmer the hope of her returning was. He naturally understood this logic, but he, who was usually very active, dragged this matter on day after day.
“I wouldn’t have been able to send my own mother to prison if it had been me.”
In the past few days, Ning Caier had heard about many things within the Xu Family. She had also communicated with about the ideas she had given him, and Xu Mengyun hoped that Ning Caier could persuade him to blame it on her own mother. Only in this way would she be able to protect herself, protect Ouyang Jue’s status and freedom, and also protect the feelings between the two of them.
After all, this was a kinship relationship that was thicker than blood than water, it couldn’t be cut off at all. So she helped Ouyang Jue make a decision, a decision that was best for him.
She hugged her arms as she stood by the side of the Xu Family’s pond. Her thin and weak body welcomed the wind that blew towards her, and she hoped that the cold wind would wake her up, lest she soften her heart because of Ouyang Jue’s few words. She did not have the courage to say the words that she wanted to say to leave.
It wasn’t that she didn’t love Ouyang Jue, but she felt tired. This tiredness lingered at the bottom of her heart, like water grasses pulling her feet into the abyss, making her unable to muster the courage to love someone.
“Cai’er, I will come up with a solution to this matter. At worst, I will just force her to do so with my death. My mother will only have one son, so she won’t watch me die.”
Ouyang Jue had thought of countless bad moves, including pretending to swallow the sleeping pill to arouse his mother’s love of him. He had always believed that he still held some status in her eyes, but after thinking about it again and again, he gave up on all of them.
Madame Ouyang is an expert on punishment, do you think that your little trick of yours can fool her? I’m afraid that Madame Ouyang will not agree to any conditions until she is about to die, so don’t take that risk just for me, I don’t want you to be injured.
Ning Caier never thought that Ouyang Jue would actually think of using such methods from the market, such methods were indeed effective against normal people, but he was facing the strongest mother in the world, so such methods were completely useless against her.
“I also know that it won’t work. Based on my mother’s suspicions, she would have to see me being pushed into the morgue before she can believe that I’m dead.” Ouyang Jue stood there and shook his head, hoping that he would be able to think of a good idea after being rejected by the others.
“Do you think that you are the signing stick in the temple? If you shake it a little, a bamboo stick would fall out, and there was even a solution to this matter written on it.” Ning Caier revealed a faint smile. She knew that the days when she could see Ouyang Jue could only be calculated using the countdown, so she reached out to touch his face. “Ouyang, I want to go out for a walk.
It was only when Ouyang Jue came to the Xu Family that she allowed him to bring Ning Caier around. Since they had left the vicinity of the Xu Family, even if something happened to Ning Caier during this period of time, Ouyang Jue could not be blamed on her. It was fine if he wanted to take her away.
Therefore, Ning Caier could only make such a request at this time. Her condition was slightly better than before, even if she had to travel a long distance, her body would be able to endure it.
She could understand that he could not send her mother to prison, but in this world, he could not have both the fish and bear’s paw. Since he wanted to be a filial son, then he should follow Madame Ouyang’s wishes and marry a rich family’s young miss.
Ning Caier had already died once because of this matter, she did not want the next person in trouble to be Ouyang Jue. He had such a good background and such a good family background, it was true that only the rich and wealthy families like the Miss Xu were worthy of him.
She felt that she had appeared as the biggest bug in Ouyang Jue’s life. Since she had created this bug herself, she had to think of a way to recover it, so there was still a faint sadness in her eyes. Her fingers kept stroking Ouyang Jue’s body, as if she wanted to remember the smell on his body.
