Chapter 222: A Special Appearance

They were not the main characters tonight, so even though they would attract a lot of attention when they appeared, they still chose to silently walk to a place with few people and stand properly.

“The Ouyang family has a banquet twice a year, and the time interval is no more than 100 days. This is truly a once in a hundred years event.”

Shen Xiaoxiao held a glass of plain water and took a sip. It was tasteless and bland. She looked at the red wine in Yan Kuan’s hand and pouted.

“What? You want to drink? Why don’t I help you ask if there are any Erguotou? The alcohol content of this red wine is too low. How is it suitable for you? You can drink two bottles of Erguotou in one go.”

Yan Kuan looked at Shen Xiaoxiao, who was staring at his wine glass, with disdain. His sarcastic words came out of his mouth immediately. Shen Xiaoxiao looked at his unforgiving attitude and felt a lump in her heart. She said directly:

“You’re not done yet? You’re going to remember this for the rest of your life, aren’t you? Besides, I said I didn’t drink two bottles. I only drank half a bottle. Half a bottle. Seriously, a grown man is so stingy.”

“Half a bottle is not bad. Your alcohol tolerance is better than many ordinary women. Ah, that’s right. How are you an ordinary woman? You’re special. The most special woman.”

“If I’m special, then I’m special.”

Shen Xiaoxiao turned her head and no longer paid attention to Yan Kuan. She held the glass of water and looked around. It was not without reason that they deliberately chose this corner. After all, there were many people who knew her. The recent major events of the Shen family had attracted too much attention. Moreover, she was a key figure in the recent events of the Liu family. Many wealthy families liked to gossip more than ordinary people. There were countless people who wanted to come and get to know her.

Seeing that she was obviously hiding in this corner in order to avoid suspicion, it was inconvenient for many people to come over. What a joke! If it was an ordinary banquet, even if you hid in the toilet, they would still come over today.

However, today was the Ouyang family’s banquet. Not only that, the former Eldest Young Master of the Pei family was about to become the Young Master of the Ouyang family. Most importantly… The Eldest Young Master of the Pei family was actually the matchmaker personally guaranteed by Old Master Ouyang to marry the stepdaughter of the Liu family.

He was definitely the main character tonight. Furthermore, he was already half a member of the Ouyang family. After tonight, he would definitely become a member of the Ouyang family.

Now, he was in a hurry to find someone to be unhappy with? He wasn’t crazy.

Look, look at the Liu couple who were hiding at home a few days ago and didn’t dare to go out. Tonight, they were so high-spirited and enviable. Previously, they even said that their daughter was a shameless ****, but now look… Many people were envious that they had raised such a daughter.

Many people began to regret that they had not decided on the Eldest Young Master of the Pei family in advance. Oh, no, they had not decided on the Young Master of the Ouyang family.

“The Pei family is not attending tonight?”

Shen Xiaoxiao looked around the crowd but did not see any of the Pei family’s young and old. She asked Yan Kuan with some doubt.

“How can the Ouyang family come over if the son they raised for nothing is given to the Ouyang family? Besides, who doesn’t know that Pei Li is a bastard? But none of them have the guts to discuss it. The Ouyang family wants to acknowledge Pei Li. Doesn’t that mean that if Pei Li is a member of the Ouyang family, the Ouyang family will protect him and have nothing to do with the Pei family? If you have anything to say, just come over to the Ouyang family. How many people do you think dare to gossip about the Ouyang family?”

“I’m afraid there’s not a single one. However, if the Pei family doesn’t come, then so be it. Why aren’t Ouyang Jinming’s son and wife here?”

“Them? In order to express his dissatisfaction with the Ouyang family, he had the courage to run back to his mother’s house. Moreover, because of this matter, Ouyang Tian had already decided to give Ouyang Qing the property that Ouyang Jinming should have received in advance. This could be considered as giving away the property in advance.”

“Giving it away? So easy?”

“Easy? Although Ouyang Jinming is scum, his Yue family is not bad. He is from a scholarly family. His two brothers-in-law are both high-ranking officials in the local government. Although they have not entered the political core of China, they cannot be underestimated.”

“Otherwise, Ouyang Tian would not be willing to give out the money. Moreover, other than this matter, everyone else is watching Ouyang Jinming. Now, it makes sense for Ouyang Qing and his mother to leave the Ouyang family.”

“Moreover, this is only beneficial to Ouyang Qing. There was no harm. This is because Ouyang Qing was the only male in this generation of Ouyang Qing’s family. Ouyang Qing would definitely be better off returning to the Yue family than staying in the Ouyang family.”

“Oh, so that’s the case. Then I would rather go back and get out of this big dye vat. This Ouyang Qing’s mother is quite bold. On the surface, the Ouyang family may look glorious, but they belong to a concubine’s family. Even in the future, they won’t be able to get any good businesses. At most, they will be famous. Without real benefits, it would be useless.”

“Yes, that is indeed the case. Look at how glorious Pei Li is tonight. After tonight, he will be the only one of the Ouyang family’s four branches.”

“The Ouyang family’s four branches? Are they still kept?”

“Of course. You don’t know, but if it wasn’t for Ouyang Jincheng and the other children’s strong opposition, Ouyang Tian would have transferred Pei Li under Ouyang Jincheng’s name. Then, he would be the legitimate son. This fight for the position of the Ouyang family’s patriarch would be a sure thing.”

“Is this Ouyang Tian crazy? Does he really care so much about this so-called blood relationship?”

Yan Kuan naturally knew what Shen Xiaoxiao was thinking. His expression became a little strange as he looked at the wine glass in a daze. Blood relationship? The Ouyang family had always valued blood relationships, right?

Otherwise, how could An Ning have been born? Otherwise, how could he have gotten himself into trouble back then?

“The Ouyang family has always been like this. In the future, the more we know, the more amazing things will be.”

Shen Xiaoxiao did not speak anymore. These words were too heavy, because even if Yan Kuan was unwilling to admit it, he could not deny that half of the Ouyang family’s blood was in his body. However, looking at Yan Kuan like this, she would not add salt to Yan Kuan’s wounds. At least, she could not do that.

“Du Ze has arrived.”

Yan Kuan raised his head and saw a specially made, pure black crutch with silver edges in his hand. Du Ze walked in casually.

His arrival was almost the most special presence among all the guests tonight. This was because not long ago, he had become popular throughout China. Now, almost 80% of the people in China were filled with goodwill and good feelings towards Dongyou Country and Du Ze. With such a sensational effect, anyone with a little bit of brains would know what this meant.

Dongyou Country, which had been around for less than half a year, would probably be listed at the end of the year. If they did not build a good relationship with this person now, they would only regret it in the future. Anyone with a daughter also brought their daughter over.

This Du Ze was a young and talented man who was well-dressed. In addition to the fact that he had been working hard day and night during this period of time, he had lost a few dozen pounds. His figure had become especially slender. Moreover, he had taken off his heavy black-framed glasses. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses made him look even more refined and elegant.

For the Young Miss of the Pei family to actually look down on such a talent, it was likely that she was either blind or had high standards.
