Chapter 703 - Putting On A Show (2/2)

“What? That Ou Ze actually wants to harm my Older Brother Gong Ming? I think he does not want to live anymore! But, what does this have to do with Older Sister Xia?”

“Young Miss, Ou Ze might be a businessman on the surface, but under the surface, he has been privately investing in military arms. His military arms are extremely hidden, and he has foreign powers as his backup. If we do not get rid of these arms, we are unable to destroy Ou Ze at his roots. Today, at the underground casino, one of those foreign big bosses was Ou Ze’s spy, but we were unable to confirm which one, so Young Master chose to do those intimate actions towards Mrs. Ou to give those people a false impression. As we expected, the moment the spy saw Mrs. Ou and Young Master behaving intimately with one another, he told Ou Ze about, and we have successfully caught that big fish.”

“You are trying to say that Older Brother Gong Ming is making use of Older Sister Xia?”

“Yes.” Ah Li nodded his head and said, “Young Miss, Mrs. Ou is already Ou Ze’s wife. No matter what happens, Young Master would not behave inappropriately with someone else’s wife, and furthermore, Young Miss is by Young Master’s side now. As long as Young Miss spends all of her effort to treat Young Master well, don’t doubt him. There will be a day when Young Master will marry Young Miss.”

Whatever Gong Ling told Ah Li after that, Xia Xiaofu did not listen on. She took the lift and went downstairs, and she understood everything now.

Actually, she found it quite weird. Ever since Ou Luoxi came back, he maintained a distance from her, and at the underground casino today, he was behaving very abnormally. He actually chose to do those intimate acts towards her, and at the start, she did not get it.

And now, she understood everything. He did it to find Ou Ze’s person. No wonder Ou Ze got news so quickly and went to look for her.

Xia Xiaofu had a look at the mirror inside the lift. In the mirror, the marks on her neck were very red and eye-catching. She put a scarf on her neck to cover it up.

She came out in a hurry, and she did not brush her hair that was tugged by Ou Ze. She stretched her hand out to tidy it up, making herself not look so dishevelled and sad.

No matter what, life still had to go on.

And now that the sky was dark, she wanted to go back home. She wanted to hug and kiss Little Fifth.

Ding! The elevator opened up, and she walked out.

She walked over to the main lobby, and Xia Xiaofu saw a familiar figure. Ou Luoxi stood at one corner, and he was conversing softly with a bodyguard dressed in black.

Maybe it was because he sensed her coming over that Ou Luoxi raised his gaze up to have a look.

Xia Xiaofu looked him in the eye and nodded her head politely before she headed towards the exit of the main lobby.

“Young Master,” the bodyguard called out to him.

Ou Luoxi did not say anything, and he pursed his thin lips as he looked at Xia Xiaofu’s back profile.

At this moment, “Mrs. Ou, please hold for a moment.” A hotel worker rushed over.

Xia Xiaofu turned back.

“Mrs. Ou, are you leaving now? The auction is starting soon. You can go inside to have a look at whether you have something that you like. At this auction, we will be rolling out some baby jades. Mrs. Ou can pick one for Little Princess Ou.”

A baby jade was hung on a small baby’s neck as a pendant. It was sparkling and warm, and a piece of jade would protect the person wearing it.

Xia Xiaofu thought about it and realized that ever since Little Fifth was born, she has not held any celebrations for Little Fifth, and she has not given her a single gift.

Little Fifth was always under Ou Ze’s name. T City had rumours that Little Fifth was not favoured since she was young, and she was an unlucky child.

“Sure, I will go and have a look then.”

“Sure, Mrs. Ou, please come with me.”

…

At the auction

“Young Master Gong Ming, your seat in the first row Please come over with me.” A female usher welcomed him passionately.

Ou Luoxi shook his head before sitting down in a seat in the back. He waved his hand before asking the female usher to leave.

The female usher left, and Ou Luoxi looked in front of him. Xia Xiaofu was sitting in that direction.

The auction officially started. Xia Xiaofu was not interested in antiques, and she waited till the second end of the auction. She waited long enough for the baby jades.

Xia Xiaofu liked one warm light green jade piece. It was hung on a red string, and it was very suitable for Little Fifth to wear on her neck. She wanted to buy it, so she had a look at the starting auction price. It was 500 thousand dollars.

“Okay, the auction will begin now. Please give your prices,” the host said.

Xai Xiaofu raised her number: 600 thousand dollars.

“Mrs. Ou is our first bidder. The bidding price is…” The host froze for a moment. She was on the spot as she said, “Mrs Ou, our starting price is 5 million dollars, your price…”

Everyone looked at her, and when they had a clear look at Xia Xiaofu’s 600 thousand dollars bidding price, they covered their mouths as they laughed secretly, and they gossiped about her.

It was only then that Xia Xiaofu realized that she’d made a mistake. The number on the host table was too small, and she missed a zero.

Actually, in the past year, the first time that she heard Ou Luoxi ending up in an accident, she rolled down from the stairs and hurt her right eye immediately. After that she would weep every day, and her right eye was hurt and her vision was reduced. She could not see extra small numbers and numbers placed far away from her.

Of course this was a small matter, and it did not affect her life.

When she saw everyone judging her, Xia Xiaofu did worry too much about it. She straightened her beautiful back straight before standing up confidently. “I am sorry, I will make a move.”

She lifted her heels and left.

She still could afford a jade that was within 1 million dollars, but she could not afford to buy a jade that had a starting price of 5 million dollars.

Xia Xiaofu walked towards the door and coincidentally brushed past Ou Luoxi’s side. Their gazes somewhat met, but they played it off as if they didn’t, and Xia Xiaofu brushed past him like that.

…

After returning to the Ou home, the first thing Xia Xiaofu did was embrace Little Fifth. Little Fifth was already four months old now. She got heavier and heavier, and she also liked to roll around on the bed now.

Because she came back late, her mother had already bathed Little Fifth. Her mother went back to her room to sleep. Xia Xiaofu carried Little Fifth to her bed before lying down by her side.

“Little Fifth, Mummy saw a beautiful piece of jade today, but Mummy did not have enough money to buy it. I am sorry Little Fifth. Although Mummy does not have the ability to give you the best quality of life, Mummy will give all of my love to you.

“Little Fifth, Mummy has already made the decision to put in a divorce request to the courts tomorrow. We will leave this Ou home. Maybe in the future, our home will not be too big, but we will definitely be very happy.”

Little Fifth listened to Mummy’s gentle and charming voice. She stopped moving and looked at Mummy with her large, sparkling eyes. The moment she did so, Little Fifth realized that Mummy’s beautiful, almond-shaped eyes were sparkling with glistening tears.

Little Fifth started to blabber immediately, before she stretched her small cute hands out to touch Mummy’s face.

Xia Xiaofu raised her gaze and held the hot tears back. She was unwilling to shed tears in front of her child. She held Little Fifth’s small hand as she lowered her gaze down to kiss it, before she softly said, “Little Fifth, there is something else that Mummy wants to tell you. Maybe in the future, you will not have…”

Xia Xiaofu choked up immediately, and she could not say the word Daddy. At this moment, her heart felt extremely broken and painful.
