Chapter 722: Ou Luoxi, Do You Have To Behave Like That?

The moment Chen Jingyu went into the private room, he saw Xia Xiaofu at first glance. His gaze was warm and caring as if he were asking — Are you okay?

Xia Xiaofu’s looked away as she shook her head.

Looking at the interaction between both of them, there was a sinister layer of frost in the bottom of Ou Luoxi’s bright eyes, and his face got colder and colder.

Chen Jingyu sat down on one side of the sofa as he said, “Young Master Gong Ming, I have some official matters that I want to discuss with you. I heard that you were here, and I have to disturb you without notice.”

Ou Luoxi curled the corners of his lips up before he looked over at Chen Jingyu and said, “Director Chen, what are you looking for me for?”

Chen Jingyu pushed a document that he held onto the dining table and said, “Young Master Gong Ming, I am very sorry to tell you this, but the plot of land at Nanshan has been used by our government, and now, even if you give a price that is a hundred times more, it would be of no use.”

Xia Xiaofu heard what he said, and her eyes lit up. They all said that businesses do not fight with the government. The land used by the government cannot be sold, and no one would be able to have it.

Upon having a glance at the document placed on the table, Ou Luoxi’s exquisite features had a hint of satisfaction as he said, “Director Chen, are you doing this on purpose, going against me?”

“How could that be? I am forever representing the government’s will. I hope that Young Master Gong Ming doesn’t misunderstand me.” As he spoke, Chen Jingyu stood up and said, “I have already told you the news. I’ll also bring Xiao Fu away with me now. Young Master Gong Ming, we will meet again in the future.”

Chen Jingyu walked over to hold Xia Xiaofu’s small hand and brought her towards the door.

“Young Master.” Ah Li spoke.

Xia Xiaofu’s heart tightened. She was afraid that Ou Luoxi would not allow her to leave, but she was more afraid that he would fight with Chen Jingyu in public, and there was something that Chen Jingyu did not say wrong. Chen Jingyu represented the government.

At this moment, Ou Luoxi’s voice rang out from behind them. It was extremely cold, without any emotion in it as he said, “Ah Li, send the guests off.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

She walked along the corridor. Xia Xiaofu took her small hand back and stopped in her tracks as she said, “Sir, about that piece of land at Nanshan…”

“Xiaofu, you don’t have to worry. The piece of land in Nanshan belongs to the school, it is being used to build a charity school. Nobody is able to snatch it away.”

The huge worry in Xia Xiaofu’s heart was gone, but she looked over at Chen Jingyu hesitantly as she said, “Sir, I have really troubled you this time, but…I…”

Xia Xiaofu did not know how to express her thoughts. She’d gotten married and was divorced now. She had a daughter now. Smart people all knew that she was still maintaining a sort of relationship with Ou Luoxi. No man would dare to like a woman like her, and furthermore, Chen Jingyu had such good prospects.

Ever since Chen Jingyu came back, he also did not confess to her, but he treated her way too well. She was a little uncomfortable and also a little guilty, she did not know whether he still liked her or not.

So she did not know what to say.

Chen Jingyu saw her hesitating and had a smile on his face as he said, “Xiaofu, what do you want to say? Are you going to thank me? Have you forgotten that I am your senior in school? Your alma mater is also my alma mater. The school is in trouble now; how can I ignore it? So these things today were all things that I should have taken care of anyway.”

He spoke like that, and Xia Xiaofu felt relieved. She curled the corners of her lips up as she said, “Sir, no matter what happens, I still have to thank you.”

“If you really want to thank me, treat me to a meal when you have time.”

“Sure.”

For the next two days, it was all peaceful and silent. Ou Luoxi did not come looking for her anymore. Xia Xiaofu’s stressed nerves were all relieved, and during the weekend, she carried Little Xuyan downstairs.

“Little Xuyan, you stand right here and do not move. Mummy’s throwing the rubbish bag into the rubbish bin, and I will then bring you over to the supermarket to buy groceries,” Xia Xiaofu told her.

“Okay.” Little Xu Yan played with a little toy drum in her hand. She was obedient, and she nodded her head eagerly.

Xia Xiaofu turned around and headed towards the rubbish bin.

At this moment, a luxury vehicle drove before Little Xuyan’s eyes. Little Xuyan raised her gaze up to look over. Half of the window in the car was open, and there was a handsome and beautiful face exposed.

It was Ou Luoxi.

“Daddy…” Little Xuyan was immediately excited. She called out to him before parting her small legs as she stumbled unsteadilly. She chased after the luxury car. “Daddy, Daddy…”

The luxury vehicle stopped, and the door of the driver’s seat opened up. Ah Li stepped out of the car. He walked over to Little Xu Yan’s side before picking her up, then set her in the backseat.

The luxury car cruised away.

After she threw the rubbish away, Xia Xiaofu turned her head back and did not see Little Xuyan anywhere. She was shocked, and her face was pale. She loudly called out, “Little Xuyan, Little Xuyan, where are you? Come out quickly! Mummy would be very sad if I were unable to find you.”

Nobody responded.

Xia Xiaofu combed through her surroundings, but Little Xuyan had really disappeared entirely.

“Little Xuyan, where are you?” Xia Xiaofu’s entire body was ice cold. Her small hands were shaking as she took her phone out before dialing a number. “Hello, is this 110? I am begging you all to help me. My daughter is missing…”

In the backseat of the luxury car, Little Xuyan held her drum in her small hand before turning her small head to look at Ou Luoxi, who was by her side, and she broke out into laughter.

Ah Li looked through the rear view mirror. She was such a cute doll. She was fair and pink, and even a person like him that spent a rough life for so many years had a gentle smile on his face as he looked at her.

Ou Luoxi sat at the side. He casually propped one arm up as he used his finger to support his head, and he watched Little Xuyan quietly.

“Daddy…” Little Xu Yan was extremely happy as she climbed up from her seat. She climbed over to Ou Luoxi’s lap slowly, and she had a bright smile on her face while she looked at Ou Luoxi.

Ah Li could not help but look back again. Ou Luoxi did not reject Little Xuyan, but he also did not take any action to carry Little Xuyan. He lowered his gaze to look at the small figure on his lap, and he did not show any emotion on his face.

No matter that her own Daddy did not smile at her, Little Xuyan was already very happy now. She placed her small head against Daddy’s embrace before shaking her drum.

This was the small drum that Mummy had bought for her. She started to play with it only today, so she could not bear to be separated from it.

Ou Luoxi’s gaze calmly moved away from Little Xuyan’s head, and he did not have any expression on his face as he looked out the window.

The luxury vehicle stopped at the entrance of Ou Corporation. Ou Luoxi came over to the Ou Corporation today to clear up the splitting of assets. Ou Ze was not around anymore, and Ou Corporation was already under his name, but he did not have any interest in managing the company, so he wanted to tidy Ou Corporation up before selling.

Ou Luoxi walked into the main lobby. Ah Li carried Little Xuyan as they trailed behind him closely. The staff that met them on the way all nodded their heads as they bowed down and greeted him. “President.”

Ou Luoxi did not look at them. He brought Ah Li along with him as they went into the lift reserved especially for Ou Luoxi.

The staff were all excited. Everyone gathered together as they spoke among one another—

“Oh my gosh. Did you see Master Ah Li carrying a small girl just now? Would she be…our President’s daughter?”

“I don’t think so, President is still not confirmed to be marrying Miss Gong Ling. How could he be a Daddy already?”

“The small girl seems to be more than one year old now… Oh my gosh! I remember something. This girl seems to be…Ou Ze and Xia Xiaofu’s daughter.”

“What? How could President carry Ou Ze’s daughter? Could this daughter actually be…President’s?”….

Inside the President’s office

Ah Li brought the finance manager over. Ou Luoxi sat down on the sofa as he read through the financial reports. The general manager was extremely nervous as he sat on the opposite side of the sofa and greeted him, “President.”

Ou Luoxi nodded his head before giving an indication to Ah Li with his gaze, asking him to go out.

Ah Li hesitated for a moment. He had a look at Little Xuyan, who was playing around on the carpet by the side of the French windows.

Ou Luoxi also saw Little Xuyan before he softly said, “It is fine. You can go out now.”

“Yes, Sir.” Ah Li walked out of the room.

Little Xuyan was playing on her own. She was already used to being by herself. Mummy was not at home. Grandmother was very busy. She had to tidy the house up and had to cook, so she was often by herself, and she was already accustomed to being lonely.

She turned her small head. Her large sparkling eyes were glistening as she looked over at her Daddy. Daddy was speaking with an Uncle that she did not find familiar, and he seemed to be very serious.

She was bored, so she took the small drum as she stood up, parting her small legs as she headed towards the door.

The main door of the office was not shut tight. There was a gap left in the door, and she bolted out quickly.

There was no one in the corridor. She did not dare to go far away, so she stood outside to play for a while. At this moment, the lift doors opened up. An adult walked out with two small girls.

The adult addressed the two children before going into the meeting room, and the two girls were playing with one another.

They played with a remote control car in their hands. They pressed the button, and the car started to move.

Little Xuyan had not seen such a thing before. She could not help but feel curious. She ran a few steps forward, and she came forward to look at the small car that was by the side of her feet.

The two girls saw Little Xuyan looking so beautiful, and they did not like her very much. Both of them pointed at Little Xuyan and loudly said, “Who are you? Go away quickly. You are blocking our little car.”

Little Xuyan was obedient as she moved two steps to the side.

The small girl saw Little Xuyan being so obedient, and they got even more bold as they said, “Oy, you probably haven’t seen a remote controlled car before, right? This car is very expensive. This is what my Daddy bought for me. The moment I look at you, I know that your family is very poor, and you can only play with the drum in your hand.”

Although Little Xuyan did not understand what they said completely, she understood their arrogant and mocking expressions. Little Xu Yan turned her head around and walked over to the side immediately. She did not look at the remote control car anymore and only played with the drum in her hand.

Both of the young girls noticed that Little Xuyan did not bother with them anymore. They felt extremely embarrassed and snorted out loud. They immediately ran over and went to push Little Xuyan.

Little Xuyan fell onto the floor. Her small soft palms were grazed against the floor and there were red marks over them. She found it painful, and she pouted her small lips as she cried out painfully. “Waah!”.

At this moment, the parent inside the meeting room rushed out. She walked over to the two girls and asked, “Babe, what’s wrong?”

“Mum, she wanted to snatch our remote control car.” Both girls accused her first.

At this moment, the main doors of the President’s office also opened up. Ou Luoxi heard the sound of crying come from outside, and it was only then that he realized that Little Xuyan was missing. He came out quickly.

The moment he walked over, he saw that Little Xuyan had fallen down on the floor. Her small hands were red and were clenched into small fists as she rubbed her eyes, and sparkling tears flowed down her face.

Ou Luoxi’s heart was scrunched up in that moment. It was just as if there was a large palm squeezing his heart harshly, and he turned his gaze over to the side to look at that parents and her two daughters.

The three of them saw his gaze and were all shocked as they trembled. They were all fearful as they lowered their heads down.

Ou Luoxi withdrew his gaze, and he wanted to lift his heels to step forward to carry Little Xuyan.

“Little Xuyan!” A figure dashed forward hurriedly. Xia Xiaofu was here.

Xia Xiaofu bent down and carried Little Xuyan in her embrace. She was fearful and frantic as she looked at Little Xuyan. “Little Xuyan, why are you crying? Tell Mummy quickly. Did someone bully you?”

Xia Xiaofu opened Little Xuyan’s small red hands up to have a look, and the moment she looked, her irises contracted. She could not control herself, and her eyes were all red as she said,” Little Xuyan, what is wrong with your hands? Did someone push you? Baby, don’t cry. Mummy will hug you.”

She carried Little Xuyan in her embrace as she comforted her.

Both young girls were very afraid of Ou Luoxi, but they were not afraid of Xia Xiaofu at all. They were haughty as they loudly said, “We did not bully her,. She wanted to snatch our remote control car!”

“Little Xuyan, is that true?” Xia Xiaofu asked her.

Little Xuyan perched her head on her Mummy’s shoulder as she sobbed sadly. She shook her head with force. Her baby voice was choking up as she said, “I… did not…”

“My daughter would not lie. You all must have bullied my daughter!” Xia Xiaofu looked over at the two girls and their parent.

“That is not right. It is your daughter who is too poor. She only has that pathetic drum with her, and she saw our remote control car and was very jealous and wanted it very badly.”

Xia Xiaofu’s nose went sour. She wanted to say something, but hot tears emerged from the corners of her eyes as they fell down quickly.

Any Mummy who lost her daughter would go crazy. On the way here, she also broke down, and when she saw Little Xuyan now, she did not expect that Little Xuyan was wronged and bullied at the same time. Her heart as a Mummy was very painful,l and she also felt that she was in the wrong.

Little Xuyan did not have many toys since she was young. When she brought her over to the shopping mall to play, Little Xuyan would not behave like other young kids and ask for new toys or clothes, and she also rarely bought them.

Little Xuyan had not seen a remote control car before. The things that other children had, her Little Xuyan did not have, and it was her fault as a Mummy.

At this moment, Xia Xiaofu’s trembling shoulders were supported by a muscular arm. Chen Jingyu’s voice rang out in her ears as he said, “A child that lies is not a good child. There must be a CCTV in this corridor. As long as we take the footage from the CCTV right now, we will know who is in the wrong and who is right.” As he spoke, Chen Jingyu looked at that parent and said, “A child that is only so young knows to malign and hit others…this shows that they lack care and education on a normal basis. This is the fault of their parents.”

The parents’ faces went red immediately.

Chen Jingyu came over to save her. Xia Xiaofu raised her gaze up to look at him before giving him a thankful expression with her eyes.

Chen Jingyu stretched his hand out to help Xia Xiaofu wipe the tears on the corners of her eyes.

At this moment, Ah Li ran over in a hurry and said, “Young Master…”

Ou Luoxi stood on the spot. He looked at the three people in front of him, and at this moment, the trio in front of him really seemed to be a family, and it was extremely hard to watch.

Ah Li had a glance at the parent and her two daughters as he said, “Leave.”

The parent was extremely shocked and hurriedly held her daughters’ hands.

“Wait a moment, you all have yet to apologize to my daughter.” Xia Xiaofu spoke suddenly.

The parents’ footsteps came to a halt.

“Why do they have to apologize?” Ou Luoxi, who was silent for the entire time spoke at this moment.

Xia Xiaofu raised her gaze up and looked over at Ou Luoxi.

Ever since she’d come over, this was still the first time that she looked him in the eyes. Ou Luoxi curled the corners of his lips up slowly, and had a cold smile on his face as he said, “This is my territory. If you wanted an apology, did you ask me beforehand?”

Little Xuyan heard her Daddy speak, and she raised her small head up in her Mummy’s embrace. Her eyes were moist and pitiful as she looked over at Ou Luoxi.

She kinda understood what the adults were saying, but her heart was very sensitive.

Xia Xiaofu drooped her long eyelashes down before pressing the back of Little Xuyan’s head, then pressed her into her own embrace. She did not want Little Xuyan to see, and she said, “Ou Luoxi, do you have to behave like that?”
