Master Ouyang was truly terrified and had a headache.
If they didn't have something on someone's hands, the Ouyang family wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess.
He thought that person was completely finished and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that there would be no more trouble in the future. Little did he know that it was just that the person had moved to another place to stir up trouble.
Ouyang Yi was also very discouraged: "What other way can we think of? Do you think our Ouyang family can stop the two families from getting married?"
"Father, why did you do those things this year, which have put you in such a passive position now?"
Hearing his son's question, anger also rose on Old Master Ouyang's face.
"How dare you! I'm only doing this for the sake of the family. What's the use of saying all this now? If you were in my shoes, you would have made the same choice. The Emperor favors the eldest prince the most, and the eldest prince is determined to seize the throne. He has a better chance of inheriting the throne than the current crown prince. I was just weighing the pros and cons and making the decision that was most beneficial to the Ouyang family."
"Who would have thought that fate would not favor the eldest prince, causing the Ouyang family to suffer as a result?"
Ouyang Yi took a deep breath and lost her temper.
"We absolutely cannot allow the Lin family and the Qiao family to form a marriage alliance, otherwise the Qiao family's strength will increase further. If I marry Qiao Zhizhi, I can drag the Qiao family down with this vine, and it will take no more than half a year."
He stood up: "It seems we have no choice but to use our ultimate move."
"What special move?"
Ouyang Yi narrowed his eyes, a strange and despicable smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Naturally, it's a tactic to force a woman to marry me."
"Our Ouyang family has always been a family of integrity; we simply had no other choice this time."
After thinking it over, Master Ouyang realized that this was the only way for the time being. Although it was crude, it was direct, efficient, and useful.
"Go ahead. The two families will go back and forth going through the procedures. It will be at least a month before the wedding. There is still plenty of time. Prepare well and be careful, especially to avoid attracting the attention of that Qiao Lian'er."
That day, Ouyang Yi enrolled in Qiao Zhizhi's course, paying the VIP price so he could sit in the front row and learn the premium course.
He studied very diligently, asking questions even after class, wanting to understand everything, no matter how small, which was in line with his style.
School has already ended, but Ouyang Yi is still asking for guidance, and it has been more than half an hour.
Qiao Zhizhi didn't like Ouyang Yi, but now that he had become her student and had just enrolled in the course, she, as his instructor, couldn't very well turn him away since he was so eager to learn.
Her throat was dry from talking, so Qiao Zhizhi picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea.
Dusk was falling outside, foreshadowing the approaching night.
Qiao Zhizhi frowned, about to speak, when she heard a voice from outside the door.
“Brother Ouyang, Miss Zhizhi has been teaching all day and is tired. It’s time for dinner now, and the Qiao family is waiting for her to go home.”
Lin Songyan had already left, but he didn't know when he would return. He stood at the door with an indifferent expression on his face.
Ouyang Yi looked outside, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"I'm sorry, I was so eager to learn to paint that I got carried away. I did attend a few classes before, but I mainly learned on my own. Now that I've officially enrolled in a class, I want to learn more so that I don't fall behind more and more people."
"Thanks to Brother Lin's reminder, otherwise, it would have really delayed Miss Zhizhi's meal and rest."
