Chapter 337: Chapter 337 Never Underestimate the Old Man (4)

Gu Nuan, the Xiao Family’s young madam, the young madam of the Xiao Family who wasn’t acknowledged by Xiao Jianming.

What a contradictory and ludicrous title for a young madam.

But in the end, was the inevitable bound to happen?

Kang Yueting ran outside, only to be caught by Xiao Shulan and pushed back inside. Resigned, she just reached the door of the reception room and saw, Ou Chunhua was standing by the window, showing only a profile.

That woman’s profile, under the projection of the setting sun coming through the window, looked both red and dark, as if emitting some sort of terrifying light.

Kang Yueting got a fright and ran off again.

Ou Chunhua, startled by the footsteps, looked down at the phone in her hand and noticed her fingers were coated with a layer of hot sweat. She slightly furrowed her brows. Turning around, she walked back and sat on the sofa, then said to the approaching servant of the Xiao Family, "If Mrs. Lin is available, ask her to come here."

Needless to say, Xiao Shuju, having received Ou Chunhua’s private invitation, was over the moon. However, she was also puzzled why Ou Chunhua would come to her instead of approaching the more familiar Xiao Shulan.

Keeping it from Xiao Shulan and the others, Xiao Shuju sneaked back to the reception hall and, seeing Ou Chunhua smile welcomingly, she rushed over, "Mrs. Ou, did you want to see me?"

"Sit down, Mrs. Lin," said Ou Chunhua, abandoning her initial aloofness, patting the spot next to her for Shuju to sit.

Xiao Shuju didn’t think twice and sat down firmly, gazing steadily at her.

A laugh echoed in Ou Chunhua’s heart, but her face remained serious as she said, "I heard Mr. Lin has opened a new company in Hong Kong?"

"You mean my husband?" Xiao Shuju hadn’t expected this question. Presumably, Ou Chunhua wanted to do business with Yueting’s family, so she explained everything truthfully, "My husband said it was for tax evasion purposes, and since he’s in import and export trade, setting up a company in Hong Kong is a common practice among many."

"Is your husband registered in Hong Kong?"

"Yes."

"That does make things more convenient," remarked Ou Chunhua.

Xiao Shuju licked her lips, "If Mrs. Ou wants to learn more about our company, you are welcome anytime. I hear you’re quite the savvy investor."

Ou Chunhua humbly replied, "I’m also learning bit by bit as I go. — Oh right, I heard the young master of your family has taken a young madam. I heard about it as soon as I walked in the door."

"You’re talking about that matter—" Indeed, Xiao Shuju wasn’t as tight-lipped as Shulan, and she spilled everything she knew, pretending to let information slip to please Ou Chunhua, "Since Mrs. Ou has seen it with your own eyes, they say family shame should not be spread abroad, but in the future, when the Ou and Xiao families are united by marriage, Mrs. Ou will be no outsider. You would have found out about it sooner or later. My sister-in-law, the old folks wouldn’t possibly like her; her family is too poor."

"How could a child from a poor family come to know your family’s young master?" inquired Ou Chunhua.

"That’s something we’re all really puzzled about. But this woman, coming from a poor family and fawning over my brother so much, her intentions are obviously suspect, wouldn’t you agree, Mrs. Ou?"

"You do have a point—"

"Right? Mrs. Ou, if you were my father or grandmother, would you accept such a daughter-in-law? Absolutely not. So what do we do? My brother’s been enchanted by this vixen and stubbornly refuses to let go. What would you do in my shoes?"

"If she’s a vixen, obviously her machinations cannot be allowed to succeed. If I were Chairman Xiao, I’d also think it’s time to teach the child a lesson. You can’t let them continue their foolish and outrageous behavior."

"You’re absolutely right!" exclaimed Xiao Shuju, slapping her own thigh in agreement.
