Chapter 239 Forced Compromise
"I--"
Zhou Suihuai had just said a word when the Lin family's door suddenly opened from the inside out.
Lin Ye obviously didn't notice that there was someone else in the garden.
He came out cursing.
"Damn the Ou family!"
"Is there something seriously wrong with your brain?! He keeps asking for help! What do those people working in the news eat?! They just believe everything they hear, and they even said my sister is pregnant!"
"I'm still pregnant with..."
The words on Lin Ye's lips stopped when he saw Bian Zhi.
"What is it?" Bian Zhi turned around and asked Lin Ye.
Lin Ye looked constipated, and after a pause, he seemed to feel that he could no longer hide it.
So, she blurted out angrily, "They said you spent a good night with Ou Moyuan, and now you're pregnant, and they're going to get married soon!"
There was a slight wrinkle between Bian Zhi's eyebrows. "When did it happen?"
Lin Ye: "The news has been spreading for over an hour."
Bian Zhi nodded.
It has been more than an hour. The Ou family’s public relations department should have received the message and fed it back to Ou Moyuan.
"What's the Ou family's reaction?" Bian Zhi asked.
"No reaction at all," Lin Ye said angrily. "It's like a preconceived plan. Today, a reporter interviewed Old Lady Ou. In front of the camera, Old Lady Ou put on a kind and open-minded face, saying that young people can't help themselves, and that dry firewood and hot flames are a good thing. If there's really a happy event, I'll invite the media reporters to the wedding!"
"You said it as if you knew nothing, but it also seemed like you said everything!"
Bian Zhi didn't show any expression, but turned to Zhou Suihuai and said, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest early."
Zhou Suihuai frowned and opened his lips.
Before he could even open his mouth to speak, Bian Zhi smiled and said, "Didn't we say there would be a White Jade Flower awards ceremony in a few days? If you have anything to say, tell me then, and I'll take care of it."
Before entering the villa, Bian Zhi paused at the door, then turned and said to Zhou Suihuai who was standing at the door: "I was a little confused and my behavior was uncontrollable, but--"
"No amnesia."
After saying that, Bian Zhi entered the house.
Zhou Suihuai stood there, unable to follow the rhythm of Bian Zhi's speech for a while.
Lin Ye also clung to Zhou Suihuai's shoulders in a daze, "Hey - what does my sister mean?"
In a flash, Zhou Suihuai suddenly realized.
Bian Zhi was answering his question.
【Do you remember the kiss you had last night? 】
Bian Zhi’s answer was: “I don’t have amnesia.”
The indescribable excitement was like the blood boiling in his head, making him smile. He almost laughed out loud out of control, but the next second.
His smile faltered.
Three big words suddenly appeared in my mind, "So?"
"Then what?"
"At once--"
"so?"
"She didn't lose her memory. She remembers everything?"
"That--"
Zhou Suihuai's face fell, "Is there nothing else?"
In fact, there isn't.
Seeing Zhou Suihuai looking like a fool, Lin Ye turned around and chased after Bian Zhi.
"What are you going to do?" Lin Ye rubbed his hands, eager to try.
"How dare the Ou family be so arrogant and stage such a drama themselves? Bian Zhi, you absolutely cannot let them go!"
Bian Zhi didn't say anything. Lin Ye got anxious and pressed the door shut when Bian Zhi entered the room. "Speak up! We in the Lin family can't be bullied like this!"
Bian Zhi looked at him helplessly, "I know, so don't interfere. I'm very sleepy now, let me go back and rest."
After saying that, Bian Zhi closed the door.
The effects of last night's medicine were still lingering in her body, so she gave herself acupuncture and felt a little tired.
I fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed.
That night, the news spread.
[Ou Moyuan met Bian Zhi at a high-end restaurant to discuss marriage, and it seems that good things are coming soon.]
【Ou Moyuan and Bian Zhi are related again. 】
[Ou Shi Group has announced that its ten-year plan will undergo major adjustments in the near future.]
【……】
This series of news seemed to further confirm that the Lin and Ou families were about to form a marriage.
The next morning, the stock market opened.
Ou Shi’s stock rose by 200 points.
Old Mrs. Ou was so happy looking at the financial statements that she couldn't stop grinning. She immediately said to Ou Moyuan across from her, "See? As soon as the news of the possible marriage between the Ou and Lin families came out, our stock price skyrocketed. Now you know the strength of the Lin family, right?"
"Isn't marrying Bian Zhi more beneficial than you struggling to expand the market?"
Ou Moyuan curled his lips bitterly, holding an unlit cigarette between his fingertips.
"I've managed to boost Ou's business performance, and it's actually down to me relying on women."
Old Madam Ou frowned upon hearing this and glanced at Ou Moyuan unhappily, "What do you know? In the face of interests, face and dignity are nothing!"
"Have you forgotten the days when your father brought you back from the countryside and you were starving? I think you're just living too comfortably now and have forgotten how hard your life was before!"
Ou Moyuan's eyes were dark.
He didn't forget!
He dare not forget it for a single day!
"Mo Yuan, I'm telling you, if you just let things get out of hand now, the public will just follow suit. All you have to do is establish yourself as the affectionate hero, visit Bian Zhi's Chinese Medicine Hospital more often, and maintain a humble and respectful attitude. Public opinion will naturally lean towards you. Then, I'll personally go and make overtures to Lin Jue and Bian Zhi, and they'll most likely give in."
"After all, I have the video of you two having an emotional moment on the island that day. The Lin family definitely wouldn't want the public to see Bian Zhi's delicate and affectionate look. Otherwise, how would Bian Zhi get married in the future? She's going to get married anyway, so why not marry you? You and Bian Zhi were married before, so you're close by."
"Lin Jue is a man who considers the overall situation. When the time comes, I'll give you a way out. If you show weakness again, your relationship with Bian Zhi will be a smooth one!"
This is what the old lady wanted.
By holding Bian Zhi's innocence as a bargaining chip, the Lin family and even Shen Tingsi could be forced to surrender. The Ou family would always be in a superior position because they had this handle.
I have to say that Old Lady Ou is quite scheming.
She understood too well the extent to which the family members who loved Bian Zhi would compromise for Bian Zhi.
That's why this game was set up.
Ou Moyuan looked at the old lady with a cold, pursed lip. He frowned and asked, "But, nothing actually happened to us. What can that short video clip really prove?"
Old Mrs. Ou was very convinced. "Why can't it explain something?"
"Those online spectators are so eager to watch the excitement that they don't mind the big things. If you give them a clue, they'll imagine it's a TV series. The Lin family has been in the business world for so many years, how could they not understand the importance of striking first and the audience's preconceived notions?"
"Given how much Lin Jue dotes on Bian Zhi, he wouldn't want her to suffer this injustice. Furthermore, the Lin family wouldn't want to be criticized for not upholding strict family values. After all, for those in the business world, family values and public opinion are crucial to business expansion."
"Just wait patiently. I will arrange everything and force Bian Zhi to compromise!"
