When Ouyang Yiyi came out of Ouyang Zhenghao's study room, she saw Uncle Fu walking upstairs with a bowl of bird's nest in his hand.
"Miss Yiyi, do you need to eat something? I've already asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite osmanthus cake for you."
" Oh, Uncle Fu, I'm not eating anymore. It's been hard on you today. I'll definitely make it up to you after a while. I'll have to trouble you to take care of Grandpa." Ouyang Yiyi then walked to her room on the third floor.
"No, it's our duty as servants to take care of the master." Uncle Fu was baffled by Ouyang Yiyi's words. What did she mean? What did he mean by compensating him?
Ouyang Yiyi had just walked halfway when she suddenly remembered something. She turned around and asked Uncle Fu who was about to enter Ouyang Zhenghao's study,"Uncle Fu, my spoils of war?"
" Miss Yiyi, I've sent them to your bedroom," Barkley quickly replied.
" Oh, thank you, Uncle Fu. I'll go up and rest first. I'm so tired after shopping for the whole day." Ouyang Yiyi yawned and turned around to go upstairs.
"Alright, Miss Yiyi."
As soon as she returned to her bedroom, Ouyang Yiyi impatiently picked up her phone and dialed Murong Xue's number.""Hey, Xiao Xue, what's wrong with your brother? He came to my house this morning to talk to my grandfather about breaking off the engagement with me. Why didn't you tell him about such an important matter?”
"My dear, I only found out when I just came back. My brother was called into the study by my father for a long time after work today. "I heard it from my aunt just now," Murong Xue said softly, as if she was afraid that others would hear her.
"What is it? Did your father scold your brother again?" Ouyang Yiyi felt that her heart was a little more balanced. Who asked Murong Moqian to come to her grandfather to complain about her in order not to marry her?
" Yes, because of your marriage, my brother has been scolded by my father every day. It's so tragic. It really makes my heart ache when I see him." Murong Xue seemed to be exaggerating.
" Alright, he deserves it. Who asked him not to marry me? No matter what, I'm much better than that Bai Yuqing. Your brother really doesn't want an unpolished jade but insists on a defective one. How boring," Ouyang Yiyi couldn't help but complain.
" Alright, alright, alright. You're an unpolished jade, and that woman is a defective product, alright? In this world, you're the most outstanding one, Ouyang Yiyi. Other than you, no other woman can match up to someone like my brother. The two of you are a two-faced and cunning person. You're a perfect match," Murong Xue couldn't help but tease.
" Hmph, it's good that you know. My future sister-in-law, you have to treat me better in the future. Otherwise, hmph, you know that," Ouyang Yiyi deliberately threatened.
"Don't worry, future sister-in-law. In the future, when you marry into my family, I will definitely provide for you and burn three incense sticks a day.”
"You wretched girl, are you not going to beat me up for three days?”Why did Ouyang Yi Yi feel that Murong Xue's words were not right?
" Oh, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing. Let me rephrase. When you marry into my family, I will definitely stand on your side. If my brother dares to bully you, I will definitely help you deal with him," Murong Xue said righteously.
" En, that's more like it. We're from the same country." Ouyang Yiyi couldn't help but laugh.
" Alright, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I have to go and see how my brother is doing. I'll report to you later." Murong Xue couldn't help but look at the door.
" Okay, I'll wait for your call. Remember to keep me updated," Ouyang Yiyi didn't forget to remind Murong Xue.
" Okay, I, you're still worried? I'm the spy you planted beside my brother. I can provide you with accurate information anytime, anywhere," Murong Xue couldn't help but praise herself.
"Good, good, good. Thank you for your hard work, my intelligence officer. I will definitely repay you in the future." Ouyang Yi Yi was really grateful to Murong Xue. In regards to Murong Moqian, she had indeed helped her a lot and provided her with a lot of useful military intelligence. Other than Murong Moqian secretly dating Bai Yuqing, because Murong Moqian had done a good job of keeping it a secret, she only received the news when Murong Moqian brought Bai Yuqing to the Murong family to talk about marriage. At that time, Ouyang Yiyi felt as if the entire world had collapsed. Fortunately, he had saved her. Otherwise, if the two of them really cooked the rice, wouldn't he suffer a huge loss? Ouyang Yiyi couldn't eat anything in this life, especially something like suffering a loss would never happen to him.
"Alright, you've grown up now. You actually dare to go directly to Old Master Ouyang to cancel the engagement. Who gave you such power? What do you think?" At this moment, Murong Xiujie was so angry that he slammed the table and roared at Murong Moqian who was standing obediently in front of him,
"Dad, I've already said that I won't marry Yiyi. Why do all of you have to force me to say this?”Murong Moqian said somewhat speechlessly. From the time he got off work until now, he had been scolded by Murong Xiujie for several hours. If he had known earlier, he would have worked overtime in the office today and come back later.
"Hmph, force you? "I'm afraid that if I didn't force you like this, you would have married that orphan girl Bai Yuqing long ago." Murong Xiujie's temper flared up when he mentioned that woman. Not only did she not have any family background, she was also an orphan. How could such a person marry into this family? Wouldn't that make the business world laugh at her?
"Dad, I've always respected you. In the past, I'd agree to whatever you asked me to do. Even when you asked me to take over the Imperial Group just after graduation, I agreed. However, I will never compromise on my marriage. I will marry Bai Yuqing for the rest of my life. In this matter, I will never give in. Murong Moqian was determined to break off the engagement.
"It's a lifelong event. Do you know that you're joking with the life and death of the Imperial Group? Are you joking with your marriage? And do you know how important Ouyang Yiyi is to us and to our entire group?”Murong Xiujie suddenly became amiable. He knew that his son's character was very stubborn. The more cunning he was, the more he wouldn't care about him.
"Dad, I know that you want me to marry Yiyi just so that she can tide over the difficulties for our company, but do you know that this is unfair to me, unfair to Yuqing, and even more unfair to Yiyi? Moreover, Yi Yi is innocent, there's no need to sacrifice her just because our group needs her. Murong Moqian really hoped that Murong Xiujie would change his mind.
"Sacrifice? Don't forget that Yiyi was the one who proposed to marry you. She did it willingly. Besides, she's marrying you. As her husband, you should take good care of her and protect her from any harm. How is she pitiful?”Murong Xiujie didn't understand why this seemingly mature and steady son in front of him was so dumb.
"Dad, why can't I convince you? Anyway, it's still the same thing. I won't agree to this engagement unless it's canceled."My heart only has Yu Qing now, and I will only marry Yu Qing in the future." Murong Moqian swore angrily to his father Murong Xiujie who was sitting upright opposite him.
"I'll say it again. Don't even think about marrying Bai Yuqing. In this life, you can forget about marrying any other woman besides Ouyang Yiyi.”Murong Xiujie directly gave Murong Moqian an ultimatum.
"Dad, how could you do this?" Murong Moqian was really about to break down. Why couldn't he make the decision for his own marriage?
" Alright, you don't have to say anymore. This is my decision. I have just confirmed the time with Old Master Ouyang. The wedding will be held on time in half a month's time.
"Dad, that's impossible, I won't attend the wedding," Murong Moqian said firmly.
"If you don't attend the wedding, then I will directly cancel your right to inherit the Imperial Group. Don't even think about taking a single cent from the group." Murong Xiu Jie said with a threatening tone.
"Dad, how could you do this?" Murong Moqian didn't expect Murong Xiujie to say this;
"It's very simple. How can a person who can't even make the right choice manage the Imperial Group, a company that two generations of us have worked so hard for? This time Murong Xiujie was determined to force Murong Moqian to submit.
Murong Moqian wasn't mentally prepared for this. After being said by Murong Xiujie, his handsome face instantly sank,"Dad, are you threatening me?”
"Yes, I'm threatening you. If you want to be the future successor of the Imperial Group, you have to make many wise and smart choices before you. Don't be blindly emotional and sacrifice the company's interests for your personal interests.”When Murong Xiujie spoke this time, he had an irresistible stern expression.
Seeing that Murong Moqian didn't speak, Murong Xiujie continued,"Do you know why I asked you to take over the Imperial Group right after you graduated from university? Because I want to nurture you from a young age so that you can pave the way for yourself to take charge of the company in the future and reserve talents that belong to you. Not everyone can be as lucky as you. You know, your mother and I only gave birth to you and Xiaoxue. Anyway, this group will be yours sooner or later, so I retired early. I hope you can use your ability to prove to all the shareholders that you are capable. You have been in the group for more than three years and have a firm foothold. But you have to know, Which of the shareholders of the corporation doesn't wish for the Murongs to suddenly collapse one day, so that they can support their own people to sit in the position of president? Everyone wants a piece of the pie, do I need to remind you again? Mo Qian? You have to marry Yiyi now. Only then can the Imperial Group forever belong to the Murong family, understand?”
"Dad, I know, but marrying Yiyi isn't the only way to save the corporation." Murong Moqian was probably touched by Murong Xiujie's words, as he spoke with a much less cold tone.
"Moqian, according to the company's current financial situation, don't you think the fastest way now is to marry Yiyi?”What Murong Xiujie said was an indisputable fact.
"Dad, I know, I know what to do." Although Murong Moqian was very unconvinced, but what Murong Xiujie said just now was indeed the truth. Because of the financial and economic crisis of the Imperial Group, it had caused a lot of dissatisfaction from the shareholders. If he couldn't find any cash flow soon, the Murong family's position in the Imperial Group might really be in danger.
"En, very good, Moqian, Daddy knows that you are a sensible child. You will understand Daddy's decision in the future." Murong Xiujie was very satisfied with his son's current performance."Also, clean up the matter between you and that orphan girl called Bai Yuqing. I don't want to see her affect your wedding with Yiyi. Otherwise, I won't let her off, understand?”
" Dad, don't worry, I will take care of the matter between me and Yuqing." Murong Moqian's face sank. He knew that he had no intention of saying anything more, so he turned around and walked out. His heart was like ten thousand horses galloping. Why was there no one in this world who could understand him? Why? He thought that after he took over the Imperial Group, he would be able to do what he wanted to do and protect the people he loved. However, it seemed that he was too idealistic.
"Alright, let's end today's conversation here. You should go and prepare yourself." Murong Xiujie seemed to be a little tired.
"Okay, then Dad, I'll go back first."
"En, go ahead." Murong Xiujie always breathed a sigh of relief. Murong Moqian was a child he had watched grow up, how could he not understand what he meant? However, the business world was like a battlefield. If they were to blindly act on their emotions, the Imperial Group would probably have a new leader by now.
