Chapter 179: Invading a Pig’s Cage
“Mr. Yan is indeed impressive to have achieved so much at such a young age. May I know who your father is?”
Ouyang Tian had a strong classical charm to him. Regardless of whether he spoke or did anything, he maintained a unique and unsophisticated aura.
Ouyang Tian was a very typical person with traditional feudal ideas. He did not like women to be too high-profile, nor did he like women to show their faces in public. He liked capable young people, but he did not like young people who were too capable unless that person was someone from his Ouyang family.
Everyone knew that Ouyang Tian doted on Ouyang Ning, but Ouyang Ning was an exception. Even if Ouyang Ning insisted on breaking the tradition and becoming a star, Ouyang Tian also agreed. In fact, those who really understood would naturally understand.
Because Ouyang Tian had never treated Ouyang Ning as a real member of the Ouyang family, he did not care. It did not matter. It was just that Ouyang Ning did not understand because she was an exception to the Ouyang family. She was the most doted on by grandfather Ouyang.
Ouyang Tian did not respond to Shen Xiaoxiao’s words and did not care how his granddaughter argued with a little girl. That was because he actually did not like her at all. In his eyes, Shen Xiaoxiao was just a smart girl. Women should be exclusive to the inner residence. No matter how smart she was, it was useless.
Therefore, he could be said to be indifferent to Shen Xiaoxiao. Although he had sighed in his heart that such a smart girl was worthy of being a member of the Ouyang family, her age was not right. It was not so easy to become a woman of the Ouyang family.
At the thought of this, he suddenly remembered the woman in the video that he had just seen. He frowned slightly. This matter was strange.
“My parents are both dead. It’s not worth mentioning. If Mr. Ouyang is fine, I think we should leave first. After all, the Ouyang family’s matter tonight is more troublesome.”
“There’s no rush. It’s good for Mr. Yan to watch.”
This brainless sentence caused the other members of the Ouyang family to be stunned. This old man really thought highly of this young man. He actually let an outsider watch the internal affairs of the Ouyang family? What did this mean?
However, Ouyang Ning was secretly happy. She felt that her grandfather knew her intention to recruit Yan Kuan into the Ouyang family, so he gave him face. It seemed that her grandfather really loved her the most.
Ouyang Ning was very happy. She did not even try to hide it as he looked at Yan Kuan. Everyone present could clearly see the affection in her eyes.
This time, some of the Ouyang family members had the same thoughts as An Ning. There were also those who wanted to watch a good show. There were also those who were full of sarcasm and disdain.
Huo Wanting was one of them.
Shen Xiaoxiao only needed to raise her head to see Huo Wanting’s actions clearly. Therefore, when the disdain and sarcasm in her eyes were obvious, just as Huang Yueyan had said, she hated her daughter as much as Gu Yuehua.
However, there was a reason why Gu Yuehua hated her, but what about Huo Wanting? Why did she hate her only daughter?
Shen Xiaoxiao was secretly sizing up Huo Wanting, but she did not know that An Ning had also noticed Shen Xiaoxiao when she looked at Yan Kuan.
She could not help but notice that Yan Kuan was holding Shen Xiaoxiao in his arms. Such an intimate look really made her feel like an eyesore. Could it be that Yan Kuan could not tell that her grandfather thought highly of him and wanted to give him a way out?
He really did not know what was good for him. However, would she blame Yan Kuan for being peaceful? Of course not. After staying in the Ouyang family for a long time, she had long become accustomed to men having three wives and four concubines. She would only blame Shen Xiaoxiao. She would only blame Shen Xiaoxiao, who had seduced her lover.
However, since Ouyang Tian had spoken, he was determined to let Yan Kuan and Ouyang Jinming stay. The two did not mind it and treated it as a free show, saving them the trouble of having the secret guards investigate.
Ouyang Tian looked at Ouyang Minyan and Ouyang Jinming, who were kneeling on the side. Both of them were trembling. They were indeed afraid of the old master.
Ouyang Tang was sitting calmly on the side, as if the person who was in trouble was not his daughter. Not only that, the other sons and daughters of Ouyang Tang looked like they were watching a good show. They could not hide the joy on their faces.
It seemed that the Ouyang family had long been in chaos. There were still two outsiders here, and they did not know how to control themselves.
Ouyang Jinming had been doing very well recently, and now he was in dire straits. Just a moment ago, he was showing off his son, Ouyang Qing’s, abilities to his elder brother, but now he was being slapped in the face.
Ouyang Qing wanted to save his father. After all, he was in the third generation. No matter how much his grandfather gave him, it would not be as quick as his father’s side.
However, when he saw his mother’s livid face, he held it in. He still had his mother’s clan to rely on. He was only the eldest son of a concubine in the Ouyang family, but in the mother’s clan, he was the only male.
Yes, there was no need for a choice. Yes, there was no need for a choice. His father had been carrying his son since he was young. If it were not for his mother protecting him, just those uncles who were born out of wedlock would be able to make the three of them lose their foothold.
Yes, he couldn’t be saved. It would depend on how his grandfather dealt with it. Even if his father couldn’t be saved, the property that belonged to their house wouldn’t fall into the hands of others.
He wasn’t a fool. Being able to enter the Ouyang family’s central business had already come to an end. It was impossible for him to go any further. Now that his father had met with an accident, the illegitimate children without his father’s protection wouldn’t have any impact on the legitimate children. Perhaps he could even keep his position. When the time came, even if the family was to split up, he would still be able to get what he deserved. Yes, that was it.
Ouyang Jinming did not know that his biological son and wife had already given up on him. At this moment, when he saw his father’s sharp eyes and ashen face, his heart was in a mess. This matter was probably not as simple as using the family law.
“Jincheng, you handle it.”
When Ouyang Jincheng heard his father say this, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he realized that his father was paving the way for him to establish his authority. His heart immediately relaxed. It seemed that his position as the future head of the family was becoming more and more stable.
He did not decline immediately. It was because the old man did not like people who put on airs. Ouyang Jincheng stood up and said to the two people kneeling there, “According to the Ouyang family’s rules, men who are in the same family are expelled from the family, while women invade the pig cage!”
Shen Xiaoxiao had heard of the Ouyang family’s arbitrary behavior, as well as their old and simple family rules. However, when she heard the words ‘invade the pig cage,’ she knew that it wasn’t a joke. It was really ‘invade the pig cage.’
It was so ruthless, and they were still their own children. Although the internal problems of the Ouyang family had never been restricted by China, it was still a little surprising to hear such a punishment for the first time.
“No, no, Uncle, Uncle, I was wrong. Please spare me, please spare me.”
“Father, Father, I was wrong. Your son was wrong.”
Ouyang Minyan and Ouyang Jinming’s voices not only broke the sudden silence, but also woke up everyone present.
Perhaps it was the first time they had seen the family rules so formally laid out.
That’s right, even if someone had made a mistake, no one would be exposed to the public. Even if they wanted to cover it up, they wouldn’t be able to.
However, if they really wanted to ‘invade the pig cage’, they were still extremely surprised.
Including the other direct descendants of the Ouyang family, their expressions were a little strange. They had thought that the biggest punishment would be to be chased out of the Ouyang family, but ‘invading the pig cage’ was a death sentence. They had never thought about it.
Meanwhile, Pei Dongguo and the rest of the Pei family looked at the scene in shock. After a while, they heard Pei Tianheng say…
