Chapter 429: Chapter 432

Meanwhile, Ouyang Qi was forced to enter the Ouyang family’s car by Ouyang Qing. He was not allowed to leave on his own.

Not expecting Nan Chen to do something like this, Ouyang Qi regretted it terribly.

Up till now, he still could not understand why Nan Chen was so serious about it, even to the extent of letting Ning Ran report him for harassment.

Although harassment was something subjective and hard to prove, Ouyang Qi was the culprit in question. He knew that his actions were not so severe that they amounted to harassment.

“Qing, listen to me. I didn’t harass anyone. With such good looks and wealth, it’s a piece of cake for me to find a girlfriend. There’s no need for me to harass anyone. Please don’t tell Dad about this, okay?”

“I’ve already called and informed him,” interrupted Ouyang Qing coldly.

“Why? I really didn’t harass Ding Mi. In fact, my relationship with her is quite good. Nan Chen is setting me up on purpose…”

“Why did you provoke Nan Chen? Do you know how greatly your actions affected the Ouyang family?”

Ouyang Qing yelled at her brother.

“Damn it! I really didn’t harass her. I just sent her some flowers. Can that be counted as harassment?”

Ouyang Qi felt extremely wronged.

“Of course Nan Chen knows that you didn’t harass her. But didn’t you hear his threat to file a police report?”

“I did! But he’s just fussing over nothing. Since I’ve never done anything like what he said, I won’t be scared even if he does file for a police report!” Ouyang Qi was still unconvinced.

Ouyang Qing was furious. This useless brother of mine only knows how to woo women. His brain is absolutely useless!

“Don’t you know which city we’re in right now? Don’t you know which family is the most influential here?”

“Of course I do! We’re in Flower City now and the Nan family wields the most authority here. Do you really think that I’m a fool who doesn’t know anything?”

“You know all this and yet you still claimed that you’re not a fool? Do you know how easy would it be for Nan Chen to file a harassment report against you? It definitely wouldn’t be difficult for him to get some witnesses to testify against you. Furthermore, if Ding Mi accuses you too, it’s a strong case against you.”

Ouyang Qi was shocked. “Nan Chen won’t actually go that far, right? Besides, why would he need to do that?”

“The Nan family had a falling out with Dad previously. He almost forced them into a dire situation. As the Nan family still held that grudge, they used a useless piece of trash like you to their advantage! You can be sentenced to up to five years of jail for sexual harassment. Even if you aren’t jailed, you’ll have to be detained for a few days, if that happened, the Ouyang family’s reputation will be destroyed by you. Hence, Nan Chen is using this opportunity to pressurize Dad, forcing him to concede to his unreasonable requests. Yet, here you are, oblivious to everything!” shouted Ouyang Qing angrily.

“If you don’t tell me, how would I know? What should I do now?”

“Dad has already agreed to Nan Chen’s conditions. You’re fine now.”

“Damn it! Looks like I have to be wary about that rascal, Nan Chen. He’s so shady. Argh, looks like I have to give up on Mimi. Since she’s on the same side as Nan Chen, there’s no hope for me anymore.”

Ouyang Qi sighed.

“No, you must find a way to make Ding Mi yours,” asserted Ouyang coldly.

“Huh? She’s about to sue me for harassment. Why would I still dare to approach her?” exclaimed Ouyang Qi.

“This is just part of Nan Chen’s trick. It’s got nothing to do with the foolish woman. She’s definitely still kept in the dark, completely oblivious to Nan Chen’s plan. Hence, you still have a chance. If you manage to make that woman yours, it’ll be advantageous to the Ouyang family. You’ve never contributed anything to the family before. Now that there’s a chance for you, you’d better put in some effort and woo her.”

Ouyang Qi seemed to have realized something.

“I heard rumors saying that you like Nan Chen. But why are you dining with Nan Xing today? Could it be…”

“Shut up! How can you think of me like that?” rebuked Ouyang Qing furiously.

“No, I’m not judging you at all. I’m just curious. However, now that you explained it, I understand now.

You want me to snatch Ding Mi away from Nan Chen’s side so that you can…”

“Don’t make it sound so unpleasant! I’m telling you to do that for the sake of the family!” Ouyang Qing was enraged again.

“I do like Ding Mi. But now that you’re instructing me to do this, I find it meaningless now. Although I like spending time with women, I do it without any motives. I don’t like getting involved in these shady schemes and conspiracies, nor will I exchange my feelings for profits,” declared Ouyang Qi.

Ouyang Qing scoffed in fury. “Pfft! You make yourself sound so noble! In reality, you’re just an incapable, spoilt brat! Without Dad, you’re nothing. How dare you say such words? What have you ever done for the Ouyang family?”

“I’m not a noble man, but I never exploit others’ feelings! If you manage to make Nan Chen yours, kudos to your abilities! Otherwise, just give up. I won’t partake in those underhanded plots with you.

Hey, can you stop the car? I’m getting off in front.” Ouyang Qi instructed the chauffeur.

“Don’t stop the car! I’m bringing you to Dad!”

“Anyway, I won’t cooperate with you. I suggest that you give up on Nan Chen. I’m a man too. I know how it feels like when a man likes a woman. When Nan Chen looks at you, there’s not even a hint of affection in his gaze. You stand no chance. On the other hand, you can give Nan Xing a shot…”

“Shut up! You’re being ridiculous. Why did Dad have such a useless son like you?” scolded Ouyang Qing.

“It’s true that I’m useless. You’re the elite here who’s so skilled at pursuing men. You’re even going to use such underhanded means to achieve your goals! Tsk. I’d rather not be such an ‘elite’!”

Ouyang Qing was so furious that she felt like she was on the verge of exploding in rage.

They argued all the way until they arrived at the Orchid Club. It was the Ouyang family’s headquarters and commanding center in Flower City.

The moment Ouyang Duo saw Ouyang Qi, he aimed a harsh slap on his son’s cheek.

As Ouyang Qi had expected the slap, he dodged in time. Ouyang Duo’s palm brushed against his cheek, failing to land a proper slap.

“You rascal! How did I have such a useless son like you?”

His insults were identical to Ouyang Qing, which showed just how much she took after their father.

“Well, you’re the one who had me. I wouldn’t know how, right?” rebuked Ouyang Qi as he clutched his cheek.

“You…”

Ouyang Duo was about to slap him again when Feng Jialing stopped him.

“That’s enough! What’s the use of hitting your son now?”

“Yeah, you’re the one who lost to Nan Chen, but you’re venting your anger out on me,” agreed Ouyang Qi.

“What did you say? You rascal!” Ouyang Duo was utterly enraged.

“That’s it! Stop fighting. It’s alright as long as he knows his mistake,” coaxed Feng Jialing.

“All of you, get out. I need to speak to him in private.” Ouyang Duo dismissed Feng Jialing and Ouyang Qing.

“Okay. Both of you, have a good chat. You’re family, after all. Don’t resort to violence so easily,”

persuaded Feng Jialing.

“Mom, you must protect me. If he beats me to death, you’ll no longer have a son. Then, all of the Ouyang family’s assets will be dominated by your future son-in-law!” exclaimed Ouyang Qi.

Feng Jialing was infuriated too. What is my rascal son talking about?

“Don’t spout nonsense and communicate nicely with your father. It’s time for you to do something for the Ouyang family,” chided Feng Jialing.

After Feng Jialing and Ouyang Qing left, Ouyang Duo glared at Ouyang Qi. “I only have one thing to say to you. Either you make that woman who had Nan Chen’s children yours, or you destroy her.

Anyway, we mustn’t let her become an obstacle that prevents your sister from marrying into the Nan family!”
