When he heard the word "marrying into the wife's family", Ouyang Huanshi's pale round face suddenly turned dark as if a bucket of blue-black paint had been poured over his head, and it looked as dark as a cast iron pot that had been used to fry sunflower seeds for many years.
She actually showed such an ugly expression, which surprised Chu Shangli.
In her memory, she clearly remembered that Zi Shuhui had mentioned more than once in various reports and interview programs that the happiest moment in his life was marrying into the Ouyang family. The Ouyang family accepted him, who was like a floating duckweed in the wind, at the darkest moment of his life. So after he became the head of the Zi Shu family, he was still determined to let his wife and daughter take his mother's surname.
The model couple had happy smiles on their faces, and the glow of the screen emanated a hint of ink fragrance from the paper.
Ouyang Huanshi seemed to have always been proud of having a respectful and humble father.
But her eyes now were like wounds, oozing poison.
"Marrying into a family—?" Bai Xiaoqian pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, "I was wondering why you two looked so familiar. So it's Ouyang Huanshi, the eldest daughter of the Ouyang family, and Gongyi Tianhe, the heir of the Gongyi family?"
A stone was thrown into the water, causing a series of splashes.
"Huh?"
Chu Shangli looked at Bai Lian, who had brown hair, in astonishment.
She sounded as if she had just realized the true identities of Ouyang Huanshi and Gongyi Tianhe...
Was he... yielding to Chu Moyin's arrogant attitude? Pretending not to recognize him, just like he was—?
Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out, but it does not seem likely.
Two of the four people actually didn't know the influential figure in Meso Academy and even the entire empire. No matter how you look at it, it was a bit too deliberate. Coupled with Chu Moyin's disrespectful teasing, they would definitely be treated as stupid by everyone else and targeted.
"I remember you are—" Ouyang Huanshi rested his hand on his chin, his eyes slightly narrowed. "Bai Xiaoqian from Jinghua Shuiyuexuan, right?"
"Yes."
Bai Xiaoqian folded her hands and half bowed to Ouyang Huan.
"Even though you're facing off against a bunch of idiots, you're still very polite—you even know how to greet people..." Ouyang Huanshi leaned forward a little: "Does that count as cowardice? Regret for making bad friends and beg me and Brother Tianhe to let you go—"
"No." Bai Xiaoqian tugged lightly at the front of her lapel. "I'm just surprised. I must have seen you more than once, especially Gong Yitian and Senior. My father loves kendo, so he watches the live broadcast of the Imperial Martial Arts Tournament every year. Of course, I can't help but remember the Empire's youngest champion and most dazzling talent. But—you stood before me, and I didn't recognize you."
"You're not trying to say that with the makeup and lighting, I look completely different, right?"
Gong Yitianhe smiled coldly, a smile even colder than the cold blade in his hand.
Contempt appeared in the eyes of Vivina, the other followers behind her, and the onlookers - contempt for Bai Xiaoqian's lack of knowledge.
"Ah, ah." Ouyang Huanshi showed a sympathetic look: "Could it be that you mistakenly think that the martial arts tournament is a stage for show-offs? No matter how strong you are, as long as you have a good-looking face, you can become famous - well, I don't deny that those losers were eventually accepted into Dixing Entertainment by the Ouyang family, but their future has nothing to do with martial arts. However, if you want to win the championship in martial arts competitions, it has nothing to do with appearance or anything like that -"
Ouyang Huanshi raised his finger and poked Gong Yi Tianhe's cheek, who was holding his waist. "He's not wearing any makeup, and his aura isn't artificial lighting. Poor little girl, you're the daughter of Shuiyue Jinghuaxuan, yet you can't even see through that."
