Ouyang Yu's face turned deathly pale.
Most of those invited today have some status, and upon hearing this, they all looked at Ouyang Yu with ambiguous expressions.
The eldest daughter of the Shen family is indeed very right.
"That's not what I meant." This was clearly an attempt to offend a large group of people. Ouyang Yu only wanted to sow discord between Shen Wangshu and Xue Xuan, but he didn't expect Shen Wangshu to be so indifferent to Xue Xuan's evil deeds, instead shifting all the blame onto him. He felt weak all over and almost dared not look at the ashen face of Old Master Ouyang behind him.
He wasn't a talkative person to begin with, and for a moment his handsome face turned bright red, revealing a hint of helplessness. He was so strikingly handsome that his momentary bewilderment was quite pitiful.
"Don't show up in front of Shushu as much as possible in the future." Xue Xuan enjoyed the privilege of being protected for a moment before saying indifferently, "It's rare to see someone as shameless as you."
"you!"
"Since you don't care about my family's raw stones, I won't sell them to you anymore," Xue Xuan said coldly. "You cheated on me that day, and Shu Shu broke off the engagement without making a fuss, granting you your wish. That insult is always on my mind! How dare you show your face in front of Shu Shu? Look at yourself," he slowly pulled Shen Wangshu to Ouyang Yu, looking down at him with disdain, "You pretty boy, do you even deserve a finger from Shu Shu?! What are you in front of me, daring to cause trouble in front of me?"
This was no longer the time when he had been saying "no happiness without true love" in front of others and had urged Ouyang Yu to step down. When Shen's father saw Xue Xuan comparing Ouyang Yu to a weakling, his eyes lit up with excitement.
Just based on his powerful aura, I have to accept him as my son-in-law!
He actually developed a bit of goodwill towards Xue Xuan because of this, and no longer cared about Xue Xuan's little scheme against him earlier.
"Look at how useless he is. It's a good thing Shushu didn't end up with him, otherwise her life would have been difficult."
Ouyang Yu was too weak; even Madam Shen found her unreliable and couldn't understand why she had ever chosen her—it was as if she'd been bewitched. However, she wasn't worried about Xue Xuan and Shen Wangshu right now, having witnessed Xue Xuan's indifference towards women. It was genuine indifference, a complete disregard; they wouldn't even get a word in edgewise before being dragged away by bodyguards. This cold-bloodedness, however, secretly pleased her.
Judging from her daughter's expression, she was clearly happy as well.
"Master Xue!" The son trembled under Xue Xuan's imposing aura, and his cries were even more unbearable. The second wife rushed forward, crying and shouting, "Please, have mercy..."
"Is she here to cause trouble?" Seeing that she was crying on such a good day, Shen's father calmly sneered at Old Master Ouyang.
"Shut up and get out of here!" Knowing he wouldn't gain anything today, he had hoped to project an image of harmony between his family and Shen's Jewelry, or to have Ouyang Huan curry favor with Master Xue and reopen the supply of jadeite raw materials. If they could regain access to jadeite raw materials, Ouyang Tang's success in the nephrite market would become less conspicuous, and Ouyang Yu could seize the opportunity to compete with Ouyang Tang on equal footing.
Who knew that Master Xue wouldn't buy into Ouyang Huan's act at all? It seemed that Ouyang Huan had offended Master Xue. Master Ouyang had no choice but to have someone gag the second wife and left with a livid face.
Ouyang Tang paused for a moment, then nodded slightly to Xue Xuan.
He glanced at Ouyang Huan, who was sobbing uncontrollably and frantically straightening her clothes, a hint of mockery in his eyes, but said nothing more.
By openly offering himself as a concubine, he was discarded like trash, almost to the point of being thrown to his subordinates to be mistreated. Ouyang Huan's humiliation this time has reached a new level.
He brought shame upon himself!
S City isn't that big, but it's not that small either. I'm afraid that in just a few days, her scandalous affairs will be all over the place.
Ouyang Huan had obviously thought of this problem as well, and cried incessantly the whole way.
"Mom, what should I do?" She had truly fallen in love with Xue Xuan, but her heart was set on him, while he was cold and heartless. Thinking of how Xue Xuan's eyes were only fixed on Shen Shuya, Ouyang Huan couldn't help but curse, "That vixen, what are you pretending to be innocent for? Has she forgotten how she tried to please us in front of my brother?!"
Shen Shuya was so infatuated with Ouyang Yu that she practically fawned over the entire Ouyang family, her shamelessness was irritating to everyone. Ouyang Huan naturally looked down on her. But the woman she despised stole the man she loved.
“If Master Xue hears you say that, you can forget about living.” Ouyang Tang suddenly frowned.
He suddenly realized that letting these reckless individuals run rampant would really drag him down with them.
He had a bright future ahead of him and originally wanted to maintain a close brotherly relationship, but judging from the second branch of the family's attitude and the old man's current favoritism, it seems that things won't end well.
"Brother, you're siding with her!" Ouyang Huan immediately accused.
"You don't know what's good for you," Ouyang Tang said coldly, ignoring his brainless cousin.
His face was cold and somewhat annoyed. When the second madam saw his coldness, her heart skipped a beat, and she pulled Ouyang Huan back to stop her from speaking.
Old Master Ouyang's complexion was also unpleasant. He had been ill, and had only managed to get up today to attend the Shen family's banquet, hoping to show everyone that he was still alive and vigorous. But after the commotion at the banquet, his complexion worsened. Aside from his bluish-green face, the strange redness on his wrinkled old features was frightening. He forced himself to walk all the way back to the Ouyang family's old residence, but then he couldn't hold on any longer and stumbled, collapsing weakly into the arm of Ouyang Yu, who was accompanying him as he got out of the car.
A glaring red tinge appeared at the corner of his mouth, a shocking sight.
