I was still in an excited state, and soon I would be liberated. Listening to Ouyang Zhirou's words made me feel like a toy, something she could play with at her whim. This feeling was the one I hated the most, without exception.
Old Zhao came over and pressed down on my hand that was resting on the door, signaling me not to get angry and not to take her words too seriously. He knew that this little girl was not so easy to deal with. But I was not the kind of person who would let myself be bullied without a fight. If she wanted to be disgusting, then let’s see who could be more repulsive.
I turned to Ouyang Zhirou and smiled. "Miss Ouyang, what you said is not quite right. You can wait for me at Lakeside University; I completely understand that. But how can you involve others in this? After all, we have a marriage contract."
As soon as I said this, the crowd erupted in chatter. The goddess they had all been thinking about actually had a marriage contract! The one who took the hardest hit was undoubtedly the man who had been praying fervently for blessings from his ancestors; it felt like the sky had fallen.
Ouyang Zhirou did not expect me to bring up the marriage contract so openly. She had to admit that initially, she did think of me as someone she could toy with at will. However, my move was like a general's decisive strike, disrupting her plans and leaving her at a loss.
She looked at me in shock, and this expression was exactly what I wanted to see. This was my counterattack; didn’t she like to play? Then let’s play! By bringing the marriage contract into the open, regardless of whether she had someone she liked or didn’t want to fulfill this contract, she would find herself in a dilemma. After all, Old Zhao was still behind me.
I then left the venue and quickly got into the car. Once inside, I took deep breaths. I admitted there was an element of gamble in my actions; it was meant to show her that I wasn’t someone who could be easily manipulated. Just as I had wagered, she showed no reaction.
After such a commotion, it felt like we had laid everything bare. It aligned closely with what Old Zhao had said; after all, they were all raised in a sheltered environment and had peculiar personalities. Having witnessed one aspect of their world, there were still others left to discover—this truly felt like the sky was falling.
A minute later, Old Zhao led Ke Hong over slowly. When he saw me sitting in the car, he got back inside and burst into laughter. "Hahaha! No wonder you’re my Zhao Changsheng’s offspring; that was beautifully done!"
I was already used to Old Zhao's reactions by now. Despite being a Black Boss, he hardly resembled one at all.
At that moment, I didn’t care what Old Zhao thought. My mother, Ke Hong, usually helped him manage these social relationships. When I turned around, I saw Ke Hong covering her mouth and laughing as well.
I take back what I said earlier; I thought Ke Hong would be flustered by my reckless actions, but it turned out she was just like Old Zhao.
Isn’t it true that like attracts like? You can’t expect two different kinds of people to share the same bed.
After tonight's events, I had changed my view on having a marriage contract hanging over my head. If they wanted to play games, then I would join them. A man of stature like me would not be someone they could toy with at will.
What happened tonight would definitely stir up quite a wave in the city—Zhao Family and Ouyang Family actually had a marriage contract!
It had been several minutes since Zhao Lun and his group had left the banquet; most of the guests had already dispersed.
Ouyang Zhirou sat in the car sulking while staring out the window. Ouyang Xiong observed everything closely; for years he had treated her like his precious jewel, afraid of any little bump or scratch—he had spoiled her to extremes and had never seen his daughter like this before.
"Daughter..." Ouyang Xiong's gentle call broke the silence first.
"Dad, what kind of person do you think Zhao Lun is?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Xiong's face was filled with disbelief.
"Are you really considering that guy?"
"Dad, do you really think your daughter could ever like him? He's nothing more than an ant that I could easily crush underfoot. Even if he made quite a scene today, that's all it amounts to."
As Ouyang Zhiruo spoke, her eyes glimmered with a green light, resembling a hungry wolf encountering a flock of lambs.
"My dear daughter, don't take things too far. Zhao Changsheng has been surprisingly calm for so many years. If he goes mad again, the entire Lake City will be turned upside down."
Ding dong.
