"Ring, ring, ring..."
Yang Xi's cell phone rang.
She took out her phone from her trouser pocket and said to her brother, "It must be Qingqing calling me."
When she saw the caller ID, her face twitched.
Brother Yang asked her jokingly, "It's not Qingqing, right? Who's calling?"
"Someone...who I've met several times and can be considered a friend."
Yang Xi did not directly say that it was Ouyang Yu, nor did she avoid her brother. She directly answered Ouyang Yu's call.
"Yang Xi."
"Listen, what's the matter? Why are you calling me so late?"
"Do you still remember what you promised me when you asked me to help you save Mu Qing?"
Yang Xi nodded. "Remember? You're going to need my help soon? Tell me what it is. No matter what it is, I will help you as long as I can. Even if it means going through fire and water, I will not hesitate."
Ouyang Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "You don't have to go through fire and water. All you need to do is bring your household registration booklet and ID card tomorrow and wait for me at the Civil Affairs Bureau at nine o'clock. We can then get a marriage certificate."
“Bang!”
Yang Xi's cell phone slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.
She was terrified.
Ouyang Yu heard a snap and thought something had happened. He hurriedly shouted on the other end of the phone: "Yang Xi, Yang Xi, what's wrong with you?"
Brother Yang heard an unfamiliar male voice and saw his sister was terrified. He quickly bent down to help his sister pick up the phone and asked Ouyang Yu: "Who are you? What did you say to my sister? You scared her to death."
"Is Yang Xi okay?"
Ouyang Yu also knew that his help would scare Yang Xi.
He was forced to do it. If possible, he didn't want to scare Yang Xi like this.
However, he felt unhappy when he thought that Yang Xi was so scared that he dropped his phone.
Does she dislike him that much?
When I need his help, I call him first.
Just as Brother Yang was about to speak, his phone was snatched back by Yang Xi.
Yang Xi walked away with the phone, avoiding his brother, and then said to Ouyang Yu on the other end of the phone: "Mr. Ouyang, are you drunk? Or are you confused by the fever? Or are you possessed by a ghost? I know a charlatan who is very good at exorcising ghosts. I will introduce you to him. He can help you exorcise the evil ghost that is haunting you, and you will be able to return to normal."
Ouyang Yu: “…”
"Where are you?"
"My brother and I ate barbecue and drank beer at the night market near my home."
"I'll send someone to pick you up. We'll talk in detail when we meet."
Yang Xi: “…”
"That's it. It's hard to explain over the phone. Send me your location and I'll arrange for a driver to pick you up right away."
After saying that, Ouyang Yu hung up the phone.
Yang Xi didn't dare not send the location.
She also wanted to know what was wrong with Ouyang Yu that he actually wanted to get married with her.
Isn’t Zhao Shu his favorite?
Is it possible that Mr. Ouyang forced him?
Oh shit!
She was right.
His grandfather could really force him to marry her.
And should she marry or not?
But he just wanted to ask for a reward for his kindness.
When she asked him to help save Mu Qing, she said that if he needed her help in the future, she would definitely help him.
Alas, once words are spoken, they are like water spilled on the ground, and cannot be taken back.
An hour later.
Yang Xi met Ouyang Yu in his private villa.
He was also drinking, and quite a lot. Although he wasn't drunk, he reeked of alcohol, even more than she did after drinking two bottles of beer.
"Boss Ouyang, please tell me what's going on?"
After following Uncle Wen in, Yang Xi didn't care about anything else. He walked quickly to Ouyang Yu and asked him anxiously.
Ouyang Yu motioned for her to sit down.
Yang Xi sat down opposite him.
"Yang Xi, your mouth must be blessed, right? You're right. My grandfather forced me to marry you."
Yang Xi: “…”
I knew he was being forced.
Old Mr. Ouyang is really something. He knew that neither she nor Ouyang Yu liked each other, but he still forced Ouyang Yu to marry her. Even if he didn't like Zhao Shu, he couldn't harm her.
If she married Ouyang Yu, she would be jumping into a fire pit.
Ouyang Yu loves Zhao Shu.
She was not sure that she could defeat Zhao Shu, nor did she want to, because she had no love for Ouyang Yu.
If you don't love him, whoever he loves.
"My grandfather said that if I don't obey his arrangements, he will remove me from the position of CEO of Yikai and let my cousin take over. He will also kick me out of the Ouyang family and cut off all ties with me. As long as he can reach anywhere, he will not let me have an easy life and will leave me with nothing."
Yang Xi: "...Is that your grandpa?"
So cruel.
Ouyang Yu smiled bitterly, "My grandfather is really capable of doing anything to prevent me from marrying Zhao Shu. No one can change what he has decided."
After a moment of silence, Yang Xi said, "I seem to understand why you lost to Mr. Ye."
Ye Junbo is the helmsman of Fengchen Group and holds real power. No one is putting pressure on him anymore.
Although Ouyang Yu is also the head of Yikai's family, he has a grandfather above him, and the old man can take him down at any time.
"You didn't try to resist?"
"It's useless. Unless I take Zhao Shuyuan away."
"Impossible! Zhao Shu won't run away with you. If you have nothing left and can't help her, she'll probably take the initiative to distance herself from you and run away with you. You're dreaming."
Ouyang Yu: “…”
He looked at Yang Xi, "Even you say that. Is Zhao Shu that bad? After all, she and I are childhood sweethearts. We grew up together. Last time I asked you to pretend to be my girlfriend, she was still angry. Didn't she find an excuse to slap you? She still cares about me in her heart, right?"
"You are her backup. If she can't marry Mr. Ye, marrying you, Mr. Ouyang, is also good. But she can't let go of Mr. Ye. You will always be her backup. If someone else takes your place, what will she do when she realizes there is no hope of marrying into the Jun family?"
"Where can she find a man as stupid as you who is devoted to her?"
Ouyang Yu's face was full of black lines.
Is he really that stupid?
"Let's not talk about that for now, Mr. Ouyang. You chose to protect your status and position. You and I have no feelings for each other, so we won't be happy even if we get married. Talk to your grandfather and see if you can get him to change his mind."
Ouyang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It's useless. My grandfather gave me two choices. If I want to keep my current status and position, I will marry you. Otherwise, I will lose everything."
"But……"
"Yang Xi, we can get married, but after we get married, we won't interfere with each other. My grandfather is very old. When he passes away, I will definitely give you freedom and compensate you a large sum for the loss of your youth. I won't let you bear the title of my wife for a few years in vain."
Yang Xi: "...Can I refuse?"
"You said you'd help me if I needed you. What's going on?"
Yang Xi: "...I know this is a fire pit, but I still want to jump in!"
It’s so frustrating!
