Chapter 697 - It Was You Who Betrayed Him (2/2)

Xia Xiaofu felt very uncomfortable inside her heart. It was very sweet but also very sour. At that time, why didn’t she just enjoy the love that he had for her. Why didn’t she treat him a little better back then?

There was no one who treated her better than he did in this world.

Xia Xiaofu was pondering the troubles in her heart, and after she regained her senses, she realized that a piece of apple had fallen from the fruit platter in front of Ou Luoxi, and she immediately used a toothpick to poke it.

But after poking it a few times, she did not manage to get it. Because of her clumsy behaviour, her small face was a little red.

At this moment, a deep and charming voice rang out, “Older sister-in-law, forget it.”

Xia Xiaofu froze, and Ah Li, who was behind her, had already stepped forward and said, “Mrs. Ou, let me do it.”

Xia Xiaofu stood up, and she mustered up her courage and had a look at Ou Luoxi, who was sitting down on the sofa.

Ou Luoxi did not avert his gaze. He was also looking at her, but compared to her mixed feelings, his eyes were so clear and did not have any impurities at all, and similarly, he did not have any emotions in his eyes.

As if all of the love and hate from the past had already flown away with the wind.

She was just a stranger.

Xia Xiaofu was pierced instantly before the tears flowed out of her eyes. She said, “I will leave you men to it.” Her footsteps were quick as she walked into the kitchen.

…

Ou Luoxi’s gaze did not stop at Xia Xiaofu’s back profile. He welcomed Ou Ze’s careful gaze as he said, “Older Brother, we should discuss official matters now. Regarding the division of assets, have a look at this contract…”

Ah Li handed the contract in his hands over to Ou Ze.

Ou Ze had a brief look, and his facial expression changed drastically, but he tried his very best to press down the anger inside him. He had a plastic smile on his face as he looked over at Ou Luoxi and said, “Luoxi, do you really want to split the assets of the Ou family with me? With the status you have right now, you probably do not care much about this money from the Ou family, right?”

Ou Luoxi raised the tea cup up and had a sip. He squinted his eyes as he smiled. “Older Brother, who do you think has too much money? In the world today, the rich can overpower those with less money. I am afraid of being poor.”

Ou Ze did not say anything.

Ou Luoxi paused and said, “Older Brother, you having 6 and me having 4 is already the biggest berth that I have given you. The annual shareholders’ meeting is in a few days. During the annual shareholder’s meeting, I am going to take back my shares in the Ou Corporation. As for the accounts and properties in your name I will ask the lawyer to compile them, and when that time comes, all will be well as long as Older Brother splits them with me.”

Ou Ze bit clenched his teeth as he said, “Luoxi, what if I do not agree?”

Ou Luoxi leaned back on the sofa, and he raised his eyebrows. He had a fake smile on his face as he said, “Older Brother, do you know what I’ve learned most this past year? That is to…snatch.”

Ou Ze kneaded his hands into fists secretly. He wanted to snatch something?

It seemed that Ou Luoxi wanted to announce it to him officially now.

After the atmosphere became awkward, a melodious ringtone that rang out. Ou Ze’s phone was ringing.

“Luoxi, have a seat first. I must go and take this call.”

“Please, go ahead.”

…

Inside the kitchen, Xia Xiaofu raised her gaze. She worked hard to force the hot tears flowing from her eyes back in, and she did not want to turn into a woman who only knew how to cry and complain.

She started to wash the vegetables, and at this moment, two helpers passed by and were excited as they chatted —

“Oh my god, Young Master Gong Ming is really so handsome. He is the most exquisite and beautiful man that I have seen in my entire life.”

“That’s right, when I had a glance just now, I almost crashed into the pillar. He is really so handsome.”…

Xia Xiaofu took a breath through her reddened nostrils before pouting her red lips slightly. Everyone admitted that Luoxi was handsome, and in the past, she was extremely mesmerized with him.

Just now, she only glanced at him for a brief moment, and she did not have a good look at him.

What has he become?

Xia Xiaofu wiped her small hands clean, before taking soft footsteps over to the side of the door, and she snuck her small head out to secretly look towards the living room.

Ou Ze went to answer a call. Ah Li bent down by the side of Ou Luoxi’s ear as he spoke softly. The pure boy from the past had already morphed into a man. He wore a thin casual green sweater, and he matched it with a pair of black trousers on bottom. The fringe that blocked the top portion of his eyes in the past was pushed up, exposing his full forehead, perfect, exquisite features, and curves.

He still did not say much. He did not have too many emotions. His entire body had an icy cold and reserved aura. He would occasionally speak softly with Ah Li, and Ah Li would nod his head looking extremely in awe.

He’d really changed and was not the Ou Luoxi from the past anymore. He had become someone with the upper hand, and he was on top.

Xia Xiaofu lowered her gaze, and there was a satisfied smile on the corners of her lips. At the very least, he was leading a better life than her, right?

But, when she loved him, he was never in the best state. She loved him, and that was because he was her Ou Luoxi.

In the past year, when she dreamt in the middle of the night, she always thought about the first time that she met him on the drama production set. He wore a black coat, and he looked cold and lonely as he barged into her gaze.

Ever since then, she could not forget him anymore.

Xia Xiaofu raised her gaze to have a look again. Ou Luoxi and Ah Li, who were inside the living room, had already stopped talking with one another, and both of them were looking over in her direction. Her gaze crashed into Ou Luoxi’s pure and bright eyes immediately.

She was shocked as she shrunk back. Her small fair hands instinctively held the door tightly before she bit down on her lower lip. She had a fearful expression in her eyes as she looked at Ou Luoxi.

Ou Luoxi looked at her moist, almond-shaped eyes. They all said that a thousand words could not match up to a look, and they were probably describing someone like her.

He saw her gaze go downwards before landing on his right leg.

What did she want to ask?

Was it about his leg?

Xia Xiaofu really wanted to ask about his leg. His leg was already fine, and he was not limping anymore. Did he finally accept treatment? How did they treat him?

Also, at the Huang Pu Port, was he hurt?

She had many things that she wanted to tell him, but she did not dare to do so. Now, he’d turned into someone mighty and high up, and he was no longer that person who would come out in her dreams, that handsome youth who pampered and treasured her immensely.

At this moment, she heard an exchange. It was the chiding of the helpers as they said, “Madam Xia, did you do the chores? You are so slow. I asked you to go dry the bedsheets. How much longer do you want to drag it out for? I don’t think that you want dinner tonight, right?”
