Chapter 1368: Chapter 1368: Send Her Abroad
"Grandpa, sis, Ziling and I have come to pick you up," Ouyang Huihui saw Ouyang Lingyun and Ouyang Feifei furrowing their brows and pretended not to notice, but eventually she let go of Luo Ziling’s hand, greeted them with a very sweet smile, and took Ouyang Lingyun’s hand, "It snowed in the South, I thought the plane would be delayed for a long time."
"How could you come to the South without saying a word?" Ouyang Lingyun couldn’t help but scold Ouyang Huihui, "You didn’t even say anything. After receiving Ziling’s call, we were all scared to death. What if something happened to you, then what?"
"Grandpa, I’m already an adult now, and I will have to work and live independently in the future. Nothing will happen if I come out on my own," Ouyang Huihui cooed, "In the future, I must often go out alone so I won’t be like a greenhouse flower that can’t grow."
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and with Luo Ziling by her side, Ouyang Huihui guessed that Ouyang Lingyun and Ouyang Feifei would definitely not scold her, so she dared to speak like this. If it were any other day, without others around, she wouldn’t dare to come meet Ouyang Lingyun and Ouyang Feifei.
However, she still felt her sister Ouyang Feifei’s anger through her cold gaze and couldn’t help but shrink her neck.
"Sir Ouyang, Feifei, you must be exhausted," Luo Ziling also stepped forward to greet, "My grandpa and my parents are at home entertaining guests, they sent us to come pick you up. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, relatives will definitely visit the Luo Family Old Mansion, they have to welcome them."
"It’s okay," Luo Liansheng had already apologized over the phone, so Ouyang Lingyun knew what was happening and therefore laughed cheerfully, "Later, let’s have a good drink. I haven’t tasted the authentic Yuezhou Old Wine in many days."
"I will definitely have a few drinks with Sir Ouyang," Luo Ziling smiled and signaled for Ouyang Lingyun and Ouyang Feifei to get into the car first.
Ouyang Feifei arranged the cars; they had a lot of luggage and security personnel, it was impossible to depart without arranging cars.
Luo Ziling originally wanted to accompany Ouyang Lingyun in the same car, so he could chat with the old master on the way.
But to his surprise, Ouyang Feifei arranged for Ouyang Lingyun and Ouyang Huihui to take one car, while she and Luo Ziling took the off-road car they had come in.
Luo Ziling understood that Ouyang Lingyun had something to say to Ouyang Huihui, and there might even be a reprimand or two; as an outsider, it was inconvenient for him to hear.
After getting into the car, Ouyang Feifei took the initiative to speak to Luo Ziling: "I didn’t expect Huihui to run off to Yuezhou to find you on her own. Initially, when we decided to come here for a visit, she wanted to come, but we didn’t agree. I’m sorry for troubling you."
"It’s fine as long as nothing happened," Luo Ziling turned his head to look at the beautifully dressed Ouyang Feifei, "Actually, I’m also surprised you decided to come to the South for a visit!"
"What, are we not welcome?" Ouyang Feifei also turned her head to look at Luo Ziling, frowning slightly, "If you, the host, are not welcoming, then I will suggest that grandpa leave Yuezhou immediately."
"Why say such a thing?" Luo Ziling didn’t heed Ouyang Feifei’s slight anger, "You know, the Luo Family Old Mansion is still a mess, my dad and my mom... um, it’s our family’s first reunion. In Yuezhou, we are strangers in a strange land. At such a time, isn’t it inappropriate to entertain distinguished guests?"
"If you’re not welcoming, just say it directly; why beat around the bush?" Ouyang Feifei was really getting a bit angry now.
She had done so much for the Luo Family before the New Year, even placing billions in investments in Yuezhou, and she hadn’t expected Luo Ziling to still be dissatisfied.
"Why are you so sensitive?" Luo Ziling said with a wry smile, "I didn’t mean it that way!"
"Then what are you trying to say?"
"Forget it, I won’t say anything more!" Luo Ziling said and turned his head to look outside, not talking anymore.
It had been snowing all night yesterday. In the South, snow on New Year’s Eve hadn’t been seen in many years. However, during the time Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng lived in the Northwest, every New Year’s Eve saw heavy snow that blocked roads and made travel difficult for both people and animals.
In the Northwest, snow was akin to a disaster, whereas in the South, snow was often hailed as a "good omen for a bountiful year," bringing a festive atmosphere. Luo Ziling hadn’t expected the snowscape he had grown weary of in the Northwest to take on a different charm once back in the South.
Although it lacks the spectacular thick snow of the Northwest, there is a pastoral charm that always incites emotions in those who behold it.
In the past few days, a lot of things have happened, which have caused Luo Ziling much reflection, especially with Ouyang Huihui’s sudden visit yesterday, and today Ouyang Feifei accompanying Ouyang Lingyun to the Luo Family Old Mansion. Luo Ziling knew the significance of Ouyang Lingyun and Ouyang Feifei visiting together.
The arranged marriage between the two families was certainly the main topic of discussion for the older generation, and they probably wanted to settle it during this gathering.
After hearing what Ouyang Lingyun said over the phone to Ouyang Feifei that day, Luo Ziling had guessed this point.
So, with Ouyang Huihui’s private visit yesterday and Ouyang Feifei accompanying Ouyang Lingyun today, Luo Ziling couldn’t feel joy but rather a bit of annoyance.
Seeing Luo Ziling silently staring outside, Ouyang Feifei felt even more uncomfortable.
Feeling somewhat spiteful, she turned her head to look outside, ignoring Luo Ziling.
She didn’t sleep well last night and felt a bit sleepy, so she closed her eyes to rest.
"Oh right, there’s something I forgot to tell you," after about half an hour of silence, Luo Ziling finally spoke first: "Yesterday during our New Year’s Eve dinner, Wu Jianjun and Ding Zhongming came over for a house visit and they recognized my mom. They probably want to formally meet with my mom in the next few days. Do you want to show up then?"
"Do you wish for me to show up again?"
"It’s not about what I wish for," Luo Ziling shook his head, "I simply want to know whether you want to show up or not."
Ouyang Feifei could clearly sense Luo Ziling’s indifference towards her, which made her heart a bit gloomy, involuntarily letting out a sigh. However, she eventually adjusted her emotions and said calmly, "I’ll see at the time, I’ll ask your mom and see what she thinks."
Given Luo Ziling’s demeanor, Ouyang Feifei felt as if she had done something wrong, her mind clouded by the series of events before the New Year.
Those events had earned her praise and acknowledgment from Luo Liansheng and Ling Ruonan, and she thought that Luo Ziling would also treat her in a special way.
Contrary to her expectations, when she accompanied Ouyang Lingyun on the first day of the New Year, Luo Ziling was somewhat cold towards her.
She also thought that this might be because of Ouyang Huihui, which deepened her annoyance towards her sister.
Of course, no one could have anticipated that their visit to the South for the New Year would turn into such a chaotic mess.
Taking a deep breath, Ouyang Feifei turned to look at Luo Ziling and softly said, "After the New Year’s, Grandfather is planning to send Huihui abroad to study."
"Why? Is it really decided?" Luo Ziling asked two questions in a row.
"It’s decided, but we haven’t told her yet." Actually, that decision had just been made by Ouyang Feifei.
No matter what, she had to separate Ouyang Huihui from Luo Ziling, otherwise things were sure to become complicated.
Only Ouyang Feifei couldn’t imagine that things would be even more troublesome than she thought.
