After returning home, Ouyang Zhirou began to carefully dress up. Ouyang Xiong knew exactly what was about to happen as he needed to help Zhao Lun with some romantic arrangements, skillfully avoiding the situation where Ouyang Zhirou would grab him to pick out clothes.
After spending two hours coordinating her outfit, Lin Mu Xi and her parents arrived at the door. When the doorbell rang, Ouyang Zhirou thought it was Zhao Lun and excitedly bounced over to open the door. As soon as she cracked it open a little, she exclaimed, "Zhao Lun, why are you here so early? Did you miss me? Huh? Zhao Lun, why aren't you saying anything?"
When the door fully opened, she realized it was Lin Mu Xi and her parents standing at the entrance. "Lin Mu Xi! How come it's you?"
"Of course it's me; I'm not Zhao Lun," Lin Mu Xi replied.
Hearing the commotion downstairs, Ouyang Xiong poked his head out and said, "Oh, Lin Mu Xi, your family is here! Come in, come in, make yourselves comfortable!"
The dispute between the two girls did not affect the relationship between Lin Tian and Ouyang Xiong. Moreover, after having dinner at their house last time, Ouyang Xiong announced that he would invest in Lin Tian's mall. With Zhao Changsheng and Ouyang Xiong joining forces, they were truly on the rise.
"Ouyang brother, we won't disturb you then," Lin Mu Xi said.
"Oh, not at all! You're not disturbing us! Come in quickly! Aunt Li, please go brew a pot of that fine tea someone sent over."
Just as Lin Mu Xi's family walked in, another person suddenly appeared at the door. "Oh dear! I thought your house would be much bigger; I didn't expect it to be just this size!"
Everyone turned towards the voice and saw Wang Ju'en standing outside. The moment Ouyang Zhirou spotted Wang Ju'en, her expression soured. "Hey! Wang Ju'en, with all your money, can't you spend a little more on clothes? Who are you trying to impress dressing like that?"
Wang Ju'en's outfit was nothing more than a change of color; she had added two strings that extended from her pants around her waist. As for which pants those were... well, that was another story.
"Good question! Of course it's for Zhao Lun to see! Why wouldn't I show him? Don't you have anything yourself?" Wang Ju'en pressed forward until she was just a punch away from Ouyang Zhirou.
Lin Mu Xi glanced down at her own chest and could only let out a sigh.
Ouyang Xiong and others quickly stepped in to separate them. "Haha! How about you join your uncle for a cup of tea, Wang niece?"
"Sure!" Wang Ju'en replied.
With that, Ouyang Xiong led Lin Tian and his wife along with Wang Ju'en towards his tea room. If he kept putting Wang Ju'en and his daughter together, who knew what unexpected events might unfold?
"Ahhh! Wang Ju'en! I swear I'm going to crush those two things of yours!" Ouyang Zhirou stomped her feet in frustration. "What’s so great about those two things anyway?"
Of course, Lin Mu Xi shared the same sentiment as Ouyang Zhirou. Although they both said otherwise, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow to their self-esteem.
Meanwhile, I had just arrived downstairs at Zhao Group to pick up my mom. As soon as she got into the car, she caught a whiff of the bloody scent lingering on me and Old Zhao. "Xiao Lun, did you get into a fight?"
I was shocked; how could she possibly smell that? I had practically doused myself in body wash after my shower. "Mom, how did you even notice?"
Old Zhao scoffed at my reaction. "This is how I came over; no matter how much smoke or perfume I use, nothing escapes your mom's nose. You really thought you could cover that smell with body wash? Dream on!"
I never imagined my mom had such keen senses; it completely shattered my worldview.
"Xiao Lun," Li Hong began earnestly, "it's not that I want to lecture you; I just don’t want you getting involved in these things. I only hope for your safety."
What parent doesn't wish for their child to be safe and sound? Everything parents do is for their children’s sake—it's a universal truth. However, wishing doesn’t always make it happen.
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll be extra careful," I assured her.
Seeing my determined expression, Li Hong could only let out a silent sigh.
"Let's go, Xiao Li. First, we need to pick up my parents, and then we'll head to Ouyang Xiong's House."
As we picked up my grandparents and set off from my home to Ouyang Xiong's House, we hit traffic!
Since my house was in the west of the city and Ouyang Xiong's House was in the east, with the city center in between, we found ourselves stuck on the road during rush hour, unable to move an inch.
