Xue Mu Yang was holding Can Jie's hand, and his beautiful wife was beside him. The three of them brushed past Duan Langyao. Xue Mu Yang's sharp gaze paused on Duan Langyao for a moment before returning to Yan Zhiqin.
As soon as the three of them entered the beauty studio, they felt a strange atmosphere in the shop. Yi Lianqian's expression was one of silence that was rarely seen in a hundred years. This silence attracted everyone's attention.
"Who's going to have a facial later?”Liu Xichen asked curiously.
Even though she knew that Yi Lianqian was just giving her perfunctory answer, she still racked her brains to find out more about it in order to resolve the doubts in her heart.
"After knowing me for so long, it's impossible for you not to see that I'm lying to him.”
"Of course I know, but why did you lie to him like this? And your reaction is very strange. When you hear the word 'class reunion', you're actually not excited at all. What's wrong with you?”
"I'm fine. There's nothing wrong with me.”
"You're so stubborn. Who's that Ou Longtao that man was talking about? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
"There's nothing much to say."
"Really?" Liu Xichen had an exaggerated expression on his face. He didn't believe it at all.
"Ou Longtao?" Xue Mu Yang's eyes lit up.
"What, do you know Ou Longtao?”Xue Mu Yang was expressionless to everyone except his beloved woman and son. That was why Liu Xichen and Yi Lianqian liked to call him the Iceman.
"Is he the leader of the Holy Seal Corporation?”Other than him, Feng Mutian, Hua Mu Xin, and Yue Mu You, there was no one else in the business world who was more popular than Ou Longtao.
Because of his golden bachelor status and strong financial resources, he had always been the ideal candidate for a son-in-law in the eyes of all entrepreneurs. If their daughter could marry him, it would be equivalent to confirming the fate of the young lady and not having to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
"Are you saying that the leader of the Holy Seal Corporation is called Ou Longtao?”
"That's right."
"Then is this Ou Longtao the Ou Longtao of the Ice Men?”Liu Xichen's eyes immediately lit up as he thought about the ingenious aspects of the whole thing.
Liu Xichen's bright eyes sparkled as he looked at Yi Lianqian.
"The man who walked out just now, I saw that you seemed to have some reaction to him. Could it be that you know him?”Yan Zhiqin's starry eyes emitted a warm light. Ever since she was truly nourished by love, her entire body was radiant, and her every move was filled with the fragrance of a woman.
"Zhiqin, you're amazing. You actually recognized that he's a man. Don't you think that man is too beautiful?”Liu Xichen gave him a thumbs up.
"From what you said, could it be that you mistook him for a woman just now?”Sigh, Xi Chen was just an impatient person. She said whatever she wanted to say without considering the feelings of others.
Xue Mu Yang, who was standing at the side, could only shut his mouth for the time being when he saw how happy she was.
Hua Menglan smiled." Xichen really treated that man like a woman. He almost fell out with her."”
"Stop talking about this embarrassing thing!”Being mocked in public, Liu Xichen's face turned as red as a cooked shrimp.
Oh, it's all that damn beautiful man's fault for embarrassing her! She really wanted to dig a hole and hide like a camel.
"Godmother Xichen, you need to wash your eyes!”Can Jie used his cheap mouth.
Liu Xichen glared back at him fiercely." You little kid has ears but no mouth. Shut your mouth and stand aside obediently.”
She puffed out her chest and tried to regain her self-esteem, but the smart Can Jie immediately hit her back.
He nimbly hid behind Xue Mu Yang because he knew that even if the sky fell, his father would always protect him. And he relied on this, so as long as his father was around, he began to do whatever he wanted.
"Daddy, Xichen's godmother was so angry at me, and she was so loud!”He said it in an aggrieved tone.
"Me? I only asked you to stand aside in a soft voice, and you dared to complain first!”Liu Xichen widened his eyes and stared at him.
Humph! This Can Jie relied on his father's authority to think that no one would dare to touch a single hair on his head.
"If this isn't called being fierce, is it called love?”Can Jie sniffed and looked like he was about to cry.
Speaking of acting, he was an expert! As long as he put on a serious act, everyone would be deceived by him, including his biological parents.
Xue Muyang could not see the hidden daggers in his son's tears. He really thought that his son had been bullied. Just as he was about to reprimand Liu Xichen, Yan Zhiqin shook her head in time to stop him.
"Canjie is a fake. Don't be fooled by him again.”
Only then did Xue Mu Yang realize that there were no tears of grievance on Can Jie's small face. There was only a sad expression of being "caught".
"Mommy, I didn't!"
"No? How could I not know what that little head of yours is thinking?”
" If you knew, you wouldn't have been deceived so badly by me back then…" Can Jie was slightly upset, but he only dared to mutter to himself and not speak too loudly. He only stared at his parents with his innocent eyes.
"Brat, do you think that innocent expression of yours is still effective? Come on, Zhiqin has long seen through your disguise. This is called there is always someone higher up the mountain.”Liu Xichen was pleased with himself." Oh right, Lianqian, you haven't answered me yet. What's your relationship with Ou Longtao?”
"Don't be like a curious baby, okay?”Yi Lianqian rubbed her forehead with a troubled expression.
"I'm just imitating you." This was called an eye for an eye!
"Among the four of you, you and Lian Qian are the most quarrelsome.”Xue Mu Yang was left at the side and only opened his mouth when he could not stand it anymore.
Just now, Xichen had not allowed him to answer Zhiqin's question. She had stopped him from blurting out the words that were about to come out of his mouth. This woman had such a rotten personality. One day, she would be killed by this impatient personality.
His Zhiqin was still the best. She was gentle and gentle. Even if everyone was quarreling, she was still gentle and demure. She was not disturbed at all.
"Shut up, Iceman!" The two of them shouted in unison.
Xue Mu Yang glared at the two ungrateful women.
Yan Zhiqin snickered at the side, her shoulders trembling slightly as she tried to endure it.
"Alright, stop fooling around. Do you know that man just now?”Hua Menglan stared at Xue Mu Yang with a serious expression, but her slightly raised lips still revealed her happy mood.
"I have a little impression."
"Oh, could it be that he's like the four of you, a famous bachelor in the business world?”Liu Xichen's eyes lit up. It wasn't that she was interested in that man, but she was curious about the relationship between Yi Lianqian and the Ou Longtao that person was talking about.
"You can say that." In fact, he was not very clear about the man's actual background because it had nothing to do with him.
"You really cherish your words like gold!" Liu Xichen resisted the urge to beat him up.
"If you want to know more, maybe Mu You can know his background with his vast network. But why do you know so much? Are you interested in that man just now?”
" I'm not interested in men who are like women, alright? I'm interested in the Ou Longtao that he's talking about. Perhaps this Ou Longtao that you're talking about is Lian Qian's childhood sweetheart..." Liu Xichen had a sour expression on her face, and it really made people want to punch her.
"You're going to break the pot and ask for the truth, aren't you?”Yi Lianqian suppressed her temper and spoke to Liu Xichen. From Liu Xichen's expression, it was obvious that he wanted to drag this out with her.
"I'm waiting for your answer!"
Liu Xichen's mischievous appearance made everyone present secretly laugh. In fact, they were also curious. Now that Liu Xichen was their pioneer, it was the best thing that could happen. Therefore, no one jumped out to speak up for Yi Lianqian.
"I didn't do as you wished!" Yi Lianqian walked into the bar counter, took her bag, and walked out.
Liu Xichen stood in front of her and glared at her like a tiger eyeing its prey. "Where are you going?"
"It's too noisy here. There's a fly disturbing my ears. I'm going out for a walk and won't be coming back.”Yi Lianqian walked around Liu Xichen's body.
"How dare you beat around the bush and call me a fly?”Liu Xichen glared at her angrily.
"I didn't mention a name. You were the one who wanted to admit it.”Yi Lianqian put on a mocking expression and walked out coolly.
"Alright! Don't let me find out who that Ou Longtao is, or I'll make sure you suffer!”Liu Xichen raised his voice and retorted vehemently.
"Alright, don't be angry. It's not good to be angry and damage your body.”Yan Zhiqin comforted him softly.
" Listen to what she's saying. She's so despicable. She actually called me a fly…" Liu Xichen was so angry that she wanted everyone to help her judge.
Hua Menglan smiled." Actually, Lian Qian was right. You're really a noisy fly. You can't be chased away and you're always pestering me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the others immediately agreed. For example, Can Jie did not care about Liu Xichen's face and laughed very loudly. Xue Mu Yang's cold face also smiled faintly.
"You, you actually stand on Lian Qian's side. Do you think I don't know that you also want to know who Ou Longtao is? It's just that you're too embarrassed to say it, I…"
Liu Xichen was like a shrew who cursed on the streets. The entire beauty studio was filled with her passionate roars, and everyone covered their ears with a troubled expression to resist her high-decibel noise.
Duan Langyao proudly walked into Ou Longtao's office. His butt was sticking up high, and he was full of pride.
As soon as he saw Ou Longtao, he immediately snorted in an arrogant manner," As long as I step out, nothing can stump me.”He patted his sturdy chest and looked very pleased with himself.
When Ou Longtao saw his beaming face, he knew that his mission had been accomplished." What method did you use to make her agree?”
"Isn't that simple? As soon as I made a move, she immediately agreed on my account.”he boasted.
"Is it that simple?" Ou Longtao didn't believe it at all and revealed a suspicious expression.
"Don't look down on me. How can I lie?”
"That might not be the case." Ou Longtao wasn't a simple character. He easily let Duan Langyao get away with it.”
Duan Langyao pursed his lips." At first, Yi Lianqian didn't want to go at all. If she didn't bring out your name, she wouldn't have agreed. So, my trip was unnecessary. You should have been the host from the beginning and invited her personally.”
"She still remembers me?" Ou Longtao pondered.
"Nonsense, you don't even know how useful your name is.”
"Is that so? Perhaps she was thinking of the boy next door who she had rejected in front of everyone. She might have already started to laugh at me in her heart.”Ou Longtao said without changing his expression.
"Perhaps!"
After that dark period of youth, Ou Longtao denied the existence of any woman. He refused women throwing themselves into his arms, and he also refused to give his feelings to women again. This was because his mind was all about settling this old score. In his eyes, there was only the word "Yi Lianqian". The other women were not important to him at all.
" I'm already looking forward to the day of the class reunion. Yi Lianqian would never have thought that the class reunion would become the beginning of her nightmare. I want her to experience the pain that I once suffered.”At this moment, Ou Longtao was no longer a rational man. His mind was filled with the word "revenge".
"But to be honest, she has become very beautiful. The few photos you have can't capture her spiritual beauty at all. No wonder people can't forget her!”
Ou Longtao's expression changed." Who are you saying can't forget her?”
"If it wasn't you, who else could it be?!" Duan Langyao said it casually, completely ignoring his friend's ugly expression.
"Nonsense." Ou Longtao rejected.
"I'm not talking nonsense. You can't forget what she did to you. You can't forget to find the credit bureau to track her whereabouts. You can't forget to see her as soon as possible. All of these are to take revenge on her.”Duan Langyao's eyebrows were full of frivolity.
Lang Yao's words left him with no room for rebuttal, but... he didn't know where the melancholy in his heart came from. His plan was clearly about to be realized step by step, but he couldn't feel happy no matter what.
Why? He should be happy, right?
Duan Langyao saw Ou Longtao's reaction, but he didn't say anything and didn't want to point it out.
Actually, along the way, he knew very well how deep the hatred in Tao's heart was. He would let him slowly discover what was his most important treasure with a vengeful attitude!
He planned to stand by and watch, because the one who tied the bell had to undo it!
The luxurious suburban villa was beautifully decorated. In the lively Party venue, there were self-service drinks, salads, fruit bars, and all kinds of seafood. The mouth-watering delicacies were all in this warm class reunion. Soft classical music filled the entire venue, making people intoxicated.
The men and women attending the meeting were all dressed up at the invitation of the organizer. The students who had not seen each other for a long time laughed and joked. Everyone's face was full of surprise, joy, and excitement.
All of a sudden, the music stopped. Duan Langyao appeared in the center of the venue with Ou Longtao standing beside him.
"Students, long time no see!”Duan Langyao's appearance brought the class reunion to a climax. He looked at everyone with a smile.
"Lang Yao, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few years, you've become more and more 'womanly.”One of the female students suddenly spoke, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Duan Langyao's face was livid. He put on a fake smile and looked at the woman." Today should be a happy reunion, so don't spoil the fun, understand?"”If it wasn't for the fact that she was his classmate, he would have gone crazy.
"Don't think that after so many years, Lang Yao's taboo is gone. Don't forget, he used to hate people calling him like a woman, so don't ever mention his taboo again.”Ou Longtao said with a faint smile on his handsome face.
He had been looking forward to this day for a long time. From the moment he appeared, he had been patrolling that familiar face.
But…there was no one!
Ou Longtao looked at Duan Langyao in confusion. Before he could speak, a male student interrupted him.
"Who are you?"
It was inevitable that everyone would be curious to see an unfamiliar face at the class reunion.
"He is Ou Longtao." Duan Langyao answered on his behalf.
"Ou Longtao? You're that strong Ou Longtao?" Everyone's impression of him was still stuck in high school. It was hard to imagine that the term 'women change eighteen times' could also be used on him.
"That's right. He's now the big boss of the Holy Seal Corporation.”
The female students exclaimed.
"It really is you! I thought you had the same name, but I didn't expect you to be the Ou Longtao I remembered. You're really amazing. In just a few years, you've established the famous Holy Seal Group in the country.”The male student praised.
Ou Longtao smiled modestly.
"That's not all. I think he's now the Prince Charming that every woman dreams of. In the past, he was just an ordinary man who couldn't be seen in the eyes of women. I didn't expect him to become so good-looking now. It's so shocking. It seems that you've changed the most among us.”One of the female classmates, Xiao Jingyi, was full of admiration. She fell in love with the handsome Ou Longtao at first sight, and her mind had already begun to calculate the opportunity to get close to him.
"You're starting to be infatuated again, aren't you?”Another female classmate mocked Xiao Jingyi for being shameless. She had been like this since her school days. As long as it was a target that she fancied, she would not care about what her classmates thought of her. She would definitely pursue it with all her might. Little did she know that her classmates were laughing at her behind her back as a peacock.
It seemed that the tempering of time and society did not awaken her sense of shame. Instead, it made her sink deeper and deeper.
"Hmph, I don't think you're any better. With your character, you can't be infatuated at all. Men want to vomit the moment they see you.”Xiao Jingyi retorted sarcastically.
She would not silently let others step on her head.
"You--" The female student who was scolded angrily rushed in front of Xiao Jingyi, but was stopped by her classmates.
"Give Lang Yao some face. Today is the class reunion. We haven't seen each other for many years.”After the other students dissuaded her, the angry female student finally softened.
"Oh right, I heard that Lian Qian is coming, right? Why haven't I seen her?”One of the male students asked. He was dressed up so handsomely today because he wanted to meet the Snow White he had a crush on in high school-Yi Lian Qian.
"Yes, why haven't I seen Lianqian? Is she not coming?”Another male student followed suit.
Duan Langyao looked troubled." I think she'll be here soon."”Actually, he was afraid that Yi Lianqian would suddenly change her mind again because a woman's mind was like a needle at the bottom of the sea. How could he know if she would suddenly change her mind again?
Ou Longtao stared at Duan Langyao expressionlessly. If Yi Lianqian didn't appear, he wouldn't be able to realize any of his plans.
Don't glare at me…
Duan Langyao and Ou Longtao looked at each other speechlessly. Duan Langyao looked innocent.
If she doesn't appear, you're dead…
Ou Longtao's sharp gaze could kill!
Duan Langyao's scalp went numb. He thought that Yi Lianqian was a disaster. If she didn't show up soon, he might lose his life!
He looked left and right, hoping that Yi Lianqian would appear in time.
"Lang Yao, didn't you say that you personally invited Lian Qian? How has she become? Is she as beautiful as before?”One of the male students of the secret admirer rubbed his fists and looked around.
"When she arrives later, you can see for yourself!”Duan Langyao didn't have the mood to joke around with his classmates. His heart was all in Ou Longtao's fierce gaze.
Time slowly passed, and Ou Longtao's patience was limited. His sharp eyes gradually narrowed. If Yi Lianqian still didn't appear, he would probably go berserk.
Suddenly, a slender figure stepped into the venue out of breath.
Yi Lianqian finally appeared under everyone's expectations. However, her appearance left everyone dumbfounded. She was wearing a simple white shirt and black jeans, which was completely different from the dressing of the women present. However, this was not the main reason why everyone was so surprised.
She panted heavily in front of everyone. Not only was her shirt in a mess, but her jeans were also stained with oil. What was worse was that the beautiful face that the men were looking forward to seeing was actually covered by patches of oil. Yi Lianqian could only use the word " tragic " to describe her.
" Sorry, I'm late…" she said, panting.
Damn it, when had her old car not gone wrong? Why did it have to go wrong at such an important time? She had to stand alone in the middle of the road and drink the northwest wind.
Because she was unable to wait for any car to pass by to save her predicament, she had no choice but to use the No. 11 bus to replace her old car. She staggered to the venue, which made her late for an hour. Fortunately, her classmates were still there.
"Heavens, Yi Lianqian, what's wrong with you? Why are you like this?”Xiao Jingyi said in surprise.
"What happened to you?" Before Yi Lianqian could reply, another male student rushed to ask.
"God, what happened to you?”One question after another, Yi Lianqian did not have the chance to answer at all. She could only watch as her classmates whispered to each other.
Ou Longtao signaled Duan Langyao with his eyes to maintain order. He knew that Yi Lianqian's appearance had caused the students 'emotions to boil. However, everyone's chatter had turned into a din.
"Students, be quiet and listen to me.”As soon as Duan Langyao spoke, everyone shut their mouths and looked at him.
"I really can't stand seeing you so dirty. How about this? I have a change of clothes for women upstairs. Go up and tidy up first.”
"I think that's the only way. It's on the second floor, right?”
"Hmm, I think this is good. You're not familiar with this place. Let Tao bring you upstairs. He knows where to put your clothes.”Duan Langyao winked at Ou Longtao.
He's so nice! He had worked hard to create opportunities for them to get along.
"Tao?" Was it him?
Yi Lianqian nervously scanned the familiar yet unfamiliar face.
She wondered how he had changed after not seeing him for a few years.
"He is Ou Longtao." Duan Langyao pointed at Ou Longtao.
Yi Lianqian's gaze landed on Ou Longtao. For a moment, her breathing became tense, and the world turned upside down.#
