Ouyang Che frowned. For Ouyang Hao, acting independently and doing such things was no surprise to him. He was well aware that Ouyang Hao’s actions were merely to avoid a political marriage. Google seaʀᴄh NoveI★Fire.net
Actually, although he did not reject the idea of a political marriage, he did not have much of a favorable opinion about it either. "Mom, Hao’s marriage is something he will deal with himself, you don’t need to worry."
"He can deal with it himself? What if he finds another improper woman like Lin Yixun again?" Mentioning Lin Yixun, the light in Mrs. Ou’s eyes changed slightly, and she asked in a deep voice, "Are you rejecting the arranged meetings because you haven’t completely broken off with that woman?"
"As far as I know, they have already broken up."
"A breakup does not mean she won’t continue to entangle herself. I don’t think that woman is that simple. She refused to take my cheque last time; if not because of her pride, then she must be wanting more."
In Mrs. Ou’s view, truly prideful people in this world are few and far between. Lin Yixun is merely someone who has greater ambition and a larger appetite than most women. After all, she has stayed around her son and gained far more than just a few million.
"Mom, you don’t need to worry about this. I have already handled everything. Even if Hao is still not over Lin Yixun, she won’t be with him. Even if she doesn’t love money, she won’t ignore her father."
"You did something to her father..."
Mrs. Ou stopped midway through her sentence. Even though Ouyang Che did not make things clear, Mrs. Ou understood. Evidently, in the matter between Ouyang Hao and that woman, her eldest son had certainly intervened. He must have focused on Lin Yixun’s father, but what exact means he used was no longer important.
When Ouyang Che handled things, he was always reliable. Since he said he has resolved the matter, there must be no further issues. However, no plan is flawless.
What Mrs. Ou didn’t know was that every word of their conversation was falling into Ouyang Hao’s ears.
Ouyang Hao took an early morning flight back to T City, getting up very early. He was going to leave after only spending a day at home and decided to at least say goodbye to his family.
Thinking that it was still early, his own Empress Dowager and old man were likely not up yet. Waking them up might result in another round of criticism. Ouyang Hao ultimately decided against it and went to Ouyang Che’s room, intending to bid him farewell before leaving. To his surprise, when he reached the bedroom door, he discovered that the door was slightly ajar, and the sound of "Lin Yixun" from the room made his fingers, poised to knock, freeze mid-air.
With just a few words, Ouyang Hao could guess nearly the whole story. It turned out that before he and Lin Yixun broke up, his mother had sought her out, performing a scene right out of a wealthy family drama. And his usually revered brother, what had he done? What did "Even if she doesn’t love money, she won’t ignore her father" mean?
Given Ouyang Hao’s understanding of Ouyang Che, it was highly likely that he acted against Lin Yixun due to their mother. And Lin Yixun’s father was the easiest target.
To bring down a disgraced official was hardly difficult. After all, there were few incorruptible officials in this world. With Ouyang Che’s abilities, merely lifting a finger could reveal one or two charges to bring Lin Yixun’s father to ruin. Even if there were no other charges, manufacturing one or two wouldn’t be impossible.
