Because of Xue Fei, Ouyang Xinzhong didn't have a good face during the meal, except for a few words before the formal meal, he hardly spoke much after that. Occasionally, he glanced at Xue Fei, who was sitting diagonally opposite, his eyes were cold and sharp.

Xue Fei ate this meal like pins and needles, he didn't want to come originally, but when he saw Ouyang Xinzhong still looking at him with that kind of look, he felt uncomfortable all over his body, and he was always trembling.

After eating, Ouyang Xinzhong looked at Ouyang Jinxiu and said in a commanding tone, "You go home tonight." ”

The implication in Ouyang's letter was self-explanatory, Ouyang Jinxiu pulled Xue Fei aside, took out two keys from his bag and stuffed them into Xue Fei's hands: "You drive my car to the villa first, I'll go over later, the password of the villa gate and the door is your birthday, and the other is my birthday." ”

Xue Fei didn't plan to go to Ouyang Jinxiu's residence again, he was really afraid of annoying Ouyang Xinzhong. Just as he was about to refuse, Ouyang Jinxiu frowned and glared at him and said, "Hurry up, if you dare not go, you can try." ”

Ouyang Ruolan on the side seemed to hear it, and she smiled meaningfully at Xue Fei.

Xue Fei had no choice but to go to Ouyang Jinxiu's villa.

Ouyang Ruolan also had her own residence in Jingtian, and she didn't plan to go back to her parents, but Ouyang Xinzhong also asked her to go home, so she drove home with Ouyang Xinzhong's car.

Ouyang Jinxiu and her parents sat in a car, none of the three of them spoke along the way, Ouyang Jinxiu knew that this silence was a sign before the storm, but she didn't care at all, or she had long been accustomed to it.

After entering the house, Ouyang Jinxiu glanced at the time and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Ouyang Xinzhong sat on the sofa, looked at Ouyang Jinxiu and said, "I'll say it again, I don't agree with you and that Xue Fei together, you hurry up and separate from him." ”

Ouyang Jinxiu said disappreciatively: "If it is for other reasons, I will carefully consider your opinion, if it is because of your so-called right people, I will never listen to you." ”

"What do you want to do, do you want to rebel?" Ouyang Xinzhong was furious, and when he returned home, he couldn't restrain himself anymore.

"You're making a bit of a fuss, and if you don't listen to you, you're rebelling? What kind of society is this, it's not the era of foolishness, loyalty and filial piety. Is it wrong for me to make my own decisions about my feelings? I know what you think, don't you just want me to marry Ren Yuan, I won't agree, because you are doing business with me, you can not think about my happiness, I can't be sorry for myself, people live for themselves. ”

"Ouyang Jinxiu, you'd better be sane and sober for me, as a member of the Ouyang family, don't you have the responsibility and obligation to contribute to the interests of the family? Do you think that the glory that the family can have today can be obtained casually? It's a lot of people who have made sacrifices, including me, why are you so selfish? Ouyang Xinzhong asked.

"I don't agree with what you said, how can I be selfish? Since I took over the family business, how have I done for everyone, everyone should be able to see it, right? Isn't that a contribution to the family? If you think that the contribution and sacrifice is the sacrifice that you have to give for the happiness of your life, then I can only say sorry, I can't do it. Ouyang Jinxiu said resolutely.

"You...... The two of you said, should she be with that Xue Fei? Ouyang Xin's body trembled with anger, he looked at Jin Shiyi and Ouyang Ruolan on the side, he wanted to completely isolate Ouyang Jinxiu, he believed that the two of them would stand firmly with him.

Jin Shiyi, no matter what the occasion, no matter what happens, is always unhurried. Jin Shiyi looked at Ouyang Jinxiu and said with a smile: "I don't think anyone has the right to decide the happiness of another person, including parents. This is no longer the era of arranged marriages, and the choices of young people today should be respected. I don't know much about Xue Fei, maybe Xiuxiu and Xue Fei are really not suitable, but whether they are together or not should be decided by themselves. Interests are of course very important, but people can't only have interests in their eyes all their lives, and how much money they earn is more? We're already alive and well, aren't we? ”

After speaking, Jin Shiyi got up and went upstairs.

Ouyang Xinzhong was very disappointed with Jin Shiyi's remarks, but he didn't say anything, it was not easy for Jin Shiyi to return to China once, and he was in good health when he came back this time, he didn't want to make Jin Shiyi angry because of his daughter's affairs.

Ouyang Xinzhong's eyes were fixed on Ouyang Ruolan, he didn't believe that Ouyang Ruolan would go against him.

"I won't express my opinion on the emotional problems of embroidery, my own problems have not been solved, and I am not qualified to comment on what others should do." Ouyang Ruolan was not offended on both sides, Ouyang couldn't say anything after listening to the letter, and answered very cleverly.

Ouyang Jinxiu listened to the words of her mother and sister and said, "There are still people in the family who understand. ”

Ouyang Xinzhong was furious when he didn't get support, he pointed at Ouyang Jinxiu and said, "Let me tell you, as a member of the Ouyang family, you don't belong to yourself, you just have to obey the family's arrangement." Otherwise, you will lose everything you have now, and that Xue Fei will not end well. ”

When Ouyang Jinxiu heard Ouyang Xinzhong's words, she stood up suddenly, she glared at Ouyang Xinzhong and responded: "You can let me know nothing, but you don't have the right to do anything to Xue Fei, because your own selfish interests are angry with others, which is not in line with your identity." ”

Ouyang Xinzhong sneered: "How I treat Xue Fei depends entirely on your attitude, if you insist on going your own way, you are harming Xue Fei." ”

Ouyang Jinxiu clenched her fists tightly, she felt that her father was simply unreasonable, so she didn't say anything more, flicked her sleeves and left.

Seeing this, Ouyang Ruolan said, "I'll go first" and chased out.

"Get in the car, I'll take you back." Ouyang Ruolan drove to Ouyang Jinxiu's side and said.

Ouyang Jinxiu got into the car and sighed heavily.

"Why did he keep pushing me, I'm really fed up."

"Hasn't he been like this for so many years, and it's not the first day you know him. In his eyes, the whole world has to listen to him, and if he doesn't, it will be a big rebellion. Ouyang Ruolan said with a smile.

"It's sad to be born in such a family, others envy our fine clothes and food, but they don't know that we can't even make decisions about our own feelings, if I am given another chance, I would rather be born in an ordinary family, I don't want to be my current self." Ouyang Jinxiu said resentfully.

"I thought he would become more rational after my divorce, but I didn't expect it to be the same when it comes to your relationship. It seems that he wants you to be the next me, but that's not what I want to see. Ouyang Ruolan glanced at Ouyang Jinxiu, and the implication was that she supported Ouyang Jinxiu to choose her own happiness.

"I won't listen to him, I'll fight him to the end."

"What if he makes things difficult for Xue Fei?"

Ouyang Jinxiu couldn't answer, because she had no way to stop her father from doing anything to Xue Fei, which was what she was most worried about.

Ouyang Ruolan smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you really did a fake show." ”

Ouyang Jinxiu glanced at Ouyang Ruolan and didn't say anything, because she knew that this matter might not be fake from the beginning.

After Xue Fei arrived at Ouyang Jinxiu's villa, he was idle, thinking that the last time he came, he opened the door and called the police, and the glass on the window could not be broken, so he looked upstairs and downstairs in the house, he felt that somewhere in the house, there must be an organ, but unfortunately he kept finding Ouyang Jinxiu back, and he didn't find where the organ was.

Seeing that Ouyang Jinxiu's face was not very good, Xue Fei said, "Did you quarrel with your father?" I really can't pretend to be your boyfriend anymore, something big is going to happen. ”

Ouyang Jinxiu glanced at Xue Fei and went upstairs.

"I'll tell you seriously," Xue Fei said after Ouyang Jinxiu: "You'd better listen to your father, if you don't listen, then you have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, otherwise I'm easy to be hurt by mistake as a friendly cameo, you know?" ”

Ouyang Jinxiu walked to the top of the stairs and suddenly turned around, startling Xue Fei: "How do you know that I am acting with you?" What if I'm serious? ”

Xue Fei was stunned, he blinked his eyes and said, "Don't be kidding, it's not funny at all." ”

"Do you think I'm kidding you?" Ouyang Jinxiu said seriously.

Xue Fei frowned, he was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

Ouyang Jinxiu didn't ask anything more, she turned around and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Ouyang Jinxiu lay on the bed, Xue Fei massaged her from head to toe, the two of them did not have any verbal communication, they all looked preoccupied.

After the massage, Ouyang Jinxiu sat up, and saw that her toenails were a little long, so she asked Xue Fei to cut her toenails.

Xue Fei put Ouyang Jinxiu's feet on his thighs and cut them carefully, for fear that he would cut the meat.

Ouyang Jinxiu looked at Xue Fei in front of him, his eyes were very complicated. Suddenly, she asked, "Do you like me?" ”

Xue Fei didn't have any psychological preparation, when he heard Ouyang Jinxiu's words, his hand shook, and he cut Ouyang Jinxiu's toes at once, and the blood came out instantly, Ouyang Jinxiu screamed "ah", and his brows were tightly knit in pain.

Xue Fei was a little at a loss, and finally directly grabbed Ouyang Jinxiu's bleeding fingers tightly with his hands, he kept his head down, and did not look up at Ouyang Jinxiu, until his toes stopped bleeding, he went downstairs to get the medicine box, and wrapped the wound with a band-aid.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Xue Fei said apologetically.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Ouyang Jinxiu didn't seem to care much about her bleeding toes.

"I'm going to wash my hands." Xue Fei motioned for blood on his hands.

"If you like me, tell me, if you don't like me, wash your hands and leave, we won't meet again."

Xue Fei didn't speak, walked out of the bedroom and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

Standing in front of the sink in the bathroom, Xue Fei was washing his hands, and he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle in his mind, what made him uncertain was not whether he liked Ouyang Jinxiu or not, he hesitated whether to admit it, and what irreparable consequences might occur once he admitted it.

After a while, Xue Fei raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes were resolute and his expression was resolute, he had already figured out how to answer Ouyang Jinxiu.

Taking a deep breath, Xue Fei dried his hands and left the bathroom.
