Ouyang Chengyi?
Putting down his phone, Ouyang Zhoujing stood up, went to open the door, his brows furrowed, "Why are you back? I told you to stay at school to prepare for the exam, but you ignored me again?"
Ouyang Cheng said defiantly, "If I hadn't come back, were you planning to secretly get engaged to that bitch Song Nuan behind my back?"
Ouyang Zhoujing's expression changed instantly.
"Watch your mouth, she'll be your sister-in-law from now on."
"I think you're insane!"
Ouyang Zhoujing, unable to contain himself any longer, roared at her, flames flickering in his eyes, "Ouyang Chengyi!"
"You actually yelled at me for that woman?"
She grew angrier and angrier, and picked up her bag to throw at Ouyang Zhoujing. "I absolutely disagree with you marrying her. Have you forgotten how she bullied me?"
After taking a heavy blow, Ouyang Zhoujing's expression was not good.
Although the force wasn't great, there was some hard object in the bag that hit me, and it hurt quite a bit.
"She bullied you?" Ouyang Zhoujing scoffed, snatching the bag from her hand and throwing it on the ground. "If you didn't bully her, would she have bullied you?"
Ouyang Chengyi was stunned.
She stared at him in disbelief.
Is this still her brother?
He's doted on her since she was little, and he would give her the moon and stars if she wanted them. Now he's actually taking the side of an outsider, an outsider who slapped her!
Ouyang Cheng was so angry that he trembled all over, his eyes were red, and he had a thousand complaints in his heart, but his mouth was sealed shut, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Swallowing her grievances, she glared fiercely at Ouyang Zhoujing, then turned and ran out.
They didn't even take their bags.
Ouyang Zhoujing rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and called the housekeeper over, "Send her the bag over, and also, see if she's gone back to school. If not, send her back."
The butler nodded in agreement.
After her outburst, Ouyang Zhoujing lost all interest in work, washed up, and went to bed.
The next morning.
Song Nuan changed into a gentle and demure dress, ate a simple breakfast, and then Ouyang Zhoujing arrived.
Fang Yu and Xu Yiran watched her leave.
The moment the door closed, Xu Yiran angrily threw down her chopsticks. With a clatter, the chopsticks rolled to Fang Yu's feet, where she caught them and put them back.
Xu Yiran suddenly stood up.
"Where are you going?" Fang Yu called out to her. "Aren't you going to eat?"
"I'm full."
After saying that, she turned and went upstairs.
Looking at the almost untouched breakfast on the table, Fang Yu was speechless. Her appetite instantly decreased by more than half. All they knew was how to waste food.
Song Nuan glanced at the man beside her out of the corner of her eye.
Today, Ouyang Zhoujing was dressed casually, no different from usual. If there was anything different, it was that he had a ring on his slender, elegant finger.
It looks like the same style as hers.
"What's wrong?"
The man's questioning voice pulled Song Nuan back to reality. She forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little nervous."
Ouyang Zhoujing reassured her, "My family members are all very easy to get along with."
Does that include Ouyang Chengyi?
She had a faint smile on her face, and she didn't mean anything by asking the question, but she could clearly see the fleeting embarrassment on Ouyang Zhoujing's face.
Song Nuan said, "Don't overthink it."
“I didn’t let Cheng Yi come. In the future…” He pursed his lips, thought for a few seconds, “I will educate her. From now on, we will live on our own. I will find a way to send her abroad. She won’t bother you.”
Song Nuan remained silent, only smiling faintly.
Previously, because of the Wen family's matter, Ouyang Chengyi was expelled from school. Ouyang Zhoujing had finally managed to settle her in the country, and now he wants to send her abroad.
Song Nuan listened to these words but didn't believe them much.
At least until Ouyang Chengyi completes her studies, Ouyang Zhoujing will not send her abroad.
The scenery outside the car window rushed past.
Before long, the car stopped in front of a luxurious-looking restaurant.
"Aren't we going to your house?" Song Nuan asked curiously.
She thought that their first meeting would be a family dinner at Ouyang's house.
I didn't expect it to be in a restaurant.
Seemingly noticing her surprise, Ouyang Zhoujing offered to explain, "I was worried you'd feel uncomfortable at home, so we arranged to meet at a restaurant. If you'd like to go home, I'll take you back tomorrow."
Song Nuan smiled but said nothing.
tomorrow?
Tomorrow is the engagement banquet.
Although it was called an engagement banquet, Ouyang Zhoujing handled all the details. Song Nuan didn't ask a single question about who to invite, where the banquet hall was, or even what dress to wear.
When Ouyang Zhoujing said he would leave it to her, she really didn't ask a single question.
Ouyang Zhoujing even teased her for being too easygoing.
Only Song Nuan herself knew that she wasn't easygoing; she simply had no expectations for the engagement party or their wedding.
It's just a formality.
For her, it doesn't matter who she marries.
This wasn't her first marriage, and she even encountered a situation where the groom eloped with his mistress. Song Nuan couldn't imagine anything worse than that wedding.
Lost in thought, the waiter had already led them to the door of the private room.
Ouyang Zhoujing reached out his hand to her.
Song Nuan hesitated for a second, then casually placed her hand in his palm, letting him hold her hand.
There was a very strange feeling at that moment.
Song Nuan couldn't say it.
The private room was filled with round dining tables and people. Song Nuan glanced around and saw at least eight or ten people, all dressed elegantly and with an air of nobility about them.
Ouyang Zhoujing led her towards the main seat and called out, "Grandpa."
grandfather?
Song Nuan was somewhat surprised.
Ouyang Ren nodded, his expression serious. "Sit down."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhoujing pulled out a chair and waited for Song Nuan to sit down before sitting down next to her.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward.
Fortunately, Ouyang Zhoujing took the initiative to break the ice and introduced the people at the table to Song Nuan.
Song Nuan listened attentively, but couldn't help feeling a little doubtful.
Apart from Ouyang Zhoujing's grandfather, everyone else was his relative, and some of them were not even close relatives, but rather distant relatives. From beginning to end, Song Nuan did not hear him introduce his parents.
She quickly realized what was going on.
"Is this your girlfriend?" a short-haired, capable-looking woman asked.
Song Nuan nodded.
Ouyang Zhoujing then added, "Her name is Song Nuan."
"Why does this name sound so familiar?" someone questioned. "I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."
Ouyang Ren picked up his chopsticks and tapped the table. "Alright, everyone's here, let's eat."
"No, it just sounds familiar..."
Ouyang Ren: "It's not a rare name, just two ordinary characters. There are billions of people in the world with the same name. Do you want to find them one by one?"
After being scolded, the man looked embarrassed, stopped talking, and buried his head in his food.
As for Song Nuan, who is at the center of the discussion—
She ate her meal the whole time, acting as if it were none of her business.
At first glance, Ouyang Ren's words seemed reasonable, but Song Nuan was no stranger to this circle, and she could tell whether his words were well-intentioned or not.
She was certain that Ouyang Ren didn't like her.
Ouyang Zhoujing asked considerately, "Is the food to your liking?"
Song Nuan hummed in agreement.
Before he could speak, Ouyang Ren asked, "Isn't your girlfriend a local?"
