Chapter 168: Who Sabotaged Her Plan?
No one knew who was the one who suddenly shouted. Then, more and more people began to whisper and exclaim in surprise. Pei Li also turned around and looked over from the crowd’s exclamations.
When he saw this, his face instantly turned pale. Then, he heard a scream, and the entire place instantly went into an uproar.
“Ah, so it’s Pei Li and Liu Yufei. There’s really something wrong with these two people. It’s really my sister who climbed into brother-in-law’s bed!”
No one knew who was the mastermind behind this. As soon as her voice fell, many people thought of what had happened at Ouyang Minyan’s banquet not long ago.
“Pei Li still has an engagement with someone else. This is really embarrassing.”
“Yeah, it looks like the engagement is going to be ruined. It’s just that Miss Shen isn’t around. Let’s see if Miss Shen’s mother will cancel the engagement.”
“Hey, have you forgotten that Miss Shen’s mother is also Liu Yufei’s stepmother? Moreover, the relationship between this stepmother and stepdaughter is obviously better than that of the biological daughter. Can’t you tell?”
“Aiya, there’s such a thing? I really didn’t know about it.”
…
Shen Xiaoxiao naturally heard the comments of others, but her heart was not as relaxed as she had thought. It shouldn’t be like this.
It should not be so simple to expose this news. Now, not only was Ouyang Tian not here, but the video that was suddenly released could only be seen from the head, and the parts below the head were mosaic.
By doing this, people could use this to avoid rumors and say that it was done by someone. The photo of them, was this arranged by Huang Yueyan, or was it someone else?
It was not a good outcome to create such a scene now.
“It seems that someone doesn’t want us to cancel the engagement in advance. I’m afraid that your plan has been found out.”
Yan Kuan’s words hit the nail on the head. Shen Xiaoxiao felt a little annoyed when she heard it. Yes, she also wanted to know who had ruined her plan at the critical moment.
Sure enough, Pei Li reacted the fastest and immediately said, “Who was it? Who was the one who pulled the prank?”
To be able to be so calm at this moment and even say that someone was the one who was pulled the prank, this Pei Li could be considered to have some ability. At the very least, his mental fortitude was extremely strong. He was not something that could be defeated with just this.
“Who was so bored to pull this prank? My daughter is innocent. How could she be slandered like this?”
Gu Yuehua also followed up, and Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Huang Yueyan.
It wasn’t her, because the surprise in her eyes wasn’t fake either. Then who was it? Who did this?
“Who did this? Who else knows about our plan?”
Yan Kuan listened to Shen Xiaoxiao’s depressed words and patted her shoulder, signaling her to calm down. Although there were many people who knew that tonight, it was strange that the knife was aimed at this end.
It was better to wait and see what would happen now.
“Let’s wait and see. There might be another move.”
Liu Yufei was so shy that she wanted to run away immediately, while Pei Li said righteously that he had been framed.
Pei Meimei personally played the video and did not expect that her brother’s video would be released. At this moment, she was also at a loss.
On the other hand, Ouyang Tang calmly looked around.
She did not know if it was because of Shen Xiaoxiao’s psychological effect, but she felt that Ouyang Tang’s gaze fell on Yan Kuan for an exceptionally long time. After a long while, she heard Ouyang Tang say, “Alright, it’s better to put away these little tricks. How many storms have our Ouyang family gone through? How could these evil and nefarious people be able to deal a blow to us?”
“It’s just a video that has been tampered with. Don’t wait to change the video. Continue with the offering.”
Ouyang Tang spoke in person. As expected, no one said much. It could be considered as helping Pei Li and Liu Yufei.
However, it was clear that other than the Pei and Liu families, no one was satisfied with this result. This was especially so for the direct descendants of Ouyang Tang. Their expressions were ugly, but they had no choice but to be afraid of Ouyang Tang’s words.
“What a pity.”
“Pity? What a pity. Little fellow, since someone is blocking our path, we must properly meet this person who is blocking our path.”
Although Yan Kuan’s voice sounded a little cynical, Shen Xiaoxiao could still hear the increasingly cold tone in his voice.
Meeting? She didn’t even know who this person was, so who was she going to meet?
“Don’t be anxious. Ouyang Tian hasn’t arrived yet. Even if he hits Ouyang Tang, it won’t be of much use. Ouyang Tian is the true retired emperor of the Ouyang family.”
“I just feel that it’s too much of a pity. If the photos of Liu Yufei and Pei Li were to be exposed again, I’m afraid that not many people would believe it.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was a little annoyed and felt that it was a pity. However, Yan Kuan was unusually calm as he said to her, “Don’t worry. Your man wants to cancel your engagement more than you do. As for that video, even if the video is gone, it can still be uploaded live. Why are you in such a hurry? The banquet has just begun.”
“Moreover, there are people hiding in the shadows. Since they have seen through our plan, then let’s go with the plan. If they have seen through this plan, then what about Ouyang Jincheng and Ouyang Minyan?”
“Even if these were known by others, what about Ouyang Minyan and Liu Qianming?”
“Don’t worry, tonight’s engagement will definitely be annulled. Not only will it be annulled, but the Pei family will also be skinned alive.”
“If I, Yan Kuan, have not achieved anything, I am too embarrassed to be called the Black Emperor.”
Hearing such domineering words, it was not that Shen Xiaoxiao was not relieved. However, when she thought of how she had to rely on Yan Kuan for her own plan, she felt a little uncomfortable. It seemed that she was really useless, if she could not even handle such a matter well, then when she had to stay in the Shen family and take control of the Shen family in the future, could it be that she had to rely entirely on Yan Kuan?
Sigh, she could only play along with Yan Kuan’s plan now. Even if the concerns in her heart had reached this step, it could only be so for the time being.
Yan Kuan glanced at the girl beside him who was engaged in a battle between heaven and earth. In a place that she could not see, he smiled inexplicably. He did not speak anymore and let her think things through on her own.
When she put on the ring, the girl was destined to be his woman for the rest of her life. There was no need for her to be so conflicted now. At least, he felt that there was no need. Of course, she had to figure it out on her own.
The girl was very stubborn. She always wanted to be independent. However, when she met him, she would have to wait until her next life to be independent. His woman could be adored, loved, pampered, and doted on, but she could not want to be independent.
Of course, if his little girl wanted to be independent, he did not suggest using more methods to play with her.
Once the light of the Obsidian Star recognized her as its master, they would be a couple that could not be shaken off in this life. And she was destined to be his woman, for the rest of her life, including the next…
