Ding Fei took Ouyang Li's silence as a sign that the latter was having a guilty conscience.
“Why did you tell Nan Chen? Don't tell me you really have feelings for him? What a joke! Although Nan Chen is a
jerk, he's good-looking, after all. Do you think you have a chance with him?” Ding Fei sneered.
Ouyang Li was stunned and rendered speechless.
Those words stung her deeply.
She had always known that her appearance was exceptionally ordinary, so she always worked hard to make up for
this shortcoming with her capabilities.
She managed to do that, but she was still a woman, after all.
All women wanted to be beautiful. No one wanted to be despised by others because of their looks.
One could ignore it or simply not talk about it, but one should never deliberately target another's shortcomings. This
was the basic common sense of being a decent human being.
However, some people ignored it even if they knew that. Ding Fei was one such person.
Someone like that would only attract hatred.
At that moment, Ouyang Li despised Ding Fei. She hated the latter from the bottom of her heart.
However, the hatred in Ouyang Li's eyes disappeared quickly, and she smiled bitterly. “Ms. Ding, I know very clearly
what I look like. Besides, I'm not interested in Nan Chen. It's impossible that I leaked the information to him. The
Nan family killed my father. Everything I'm doing now is to destroy them. So why would I tip Nan Chen off? I
wouldn't do something that would harm my own interests. I'm someone who values gaining benefits.”
Ouyang Li made a good point, and Ding Fei was convinced.
In terms of intelligence, Ding Fei was far inferior to Ouyang Li.
Ouyang Li was just tolerating her because she was still of use. Otherwise, Ding Fei would have been kicked to the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcurb a long time ago.
“Fine. Even if you didn't tip him off, someone around you did. Only a handful of people knew about this. My
subordinates would never have done it, so it must have been someone around you. Think about it. Who else was
beside you when we talked over the phone? Could someone have overheard our conversation and revealed it to
Nan Chen?” Ding Fei said.
Ouyang Li thought about it carefully. I was alone when Ding Fei called her that day.
Ding Fei suddenly remembered something. Someone had hidden a listening device in her bag before.
Did my phone get tapped again? Is that how the information got leaked?
“All right. I'll look into this and let you know once I find something,” Ouyang Li replied.
“No matter who it is, you better not hide it from me. If I find out that you're hiding things from me, our cooperation
is over. Also, I need you to think about it carefully. Is there anyone who wants to save that b*tch? That b*tch slept
with so many men who were bewitched by her beauty. Maybe there's someone like that around you.”
At Ding Fei's words, Ouyang Li immediately thought of someone.
When Ouyang Li left, the driver had already driven the car over according to her instructions.
Her driver was none other than her younger brother, Ouyang Qi.
Ouyang Qi did not dare utter a word when he saw Ouyang Li's dark expression and merely started the engine.
“To the clubhouse,” Ouyang Li said.
Ouyang Qi answered in acknowledgment and drove to Orchid Club.
The club's renovations were almost completed. Some rooms were being cleaned up, and some maintenance work
was being carried out.
The club would reopen in a few days.
Orchid Club was already luxurious previously, but after Ouyang Li's remodifications, the place became even
grander and had a more feminine style.
Ouyang Li was going to change the name of the clubhouse to Lily Club.
By adding her name, it was a declaration that the Ouyang family would usher in a new era that belonged to her.
Ouyang Li and Ouyang Qi entered the clubhouse and went to a room that was already tidied up. A haggard-looking
Feng Jialing was staying there.
Ever since she found out that her husband had passed away, and her favorite daughter, Ouyang Qing, had gone to
prison, Feng Jialing no longer had any hope in her life.
In addition, Ouyang Li suddenly seized power and forced her to hand over all her shares, which was another blow to
her.
She suddenly realized that the world had changed and that there was no meaning in life.
Although she did think about dying, she was still worried about Sunshine Corporation. After all, it was Ouyang Duo's
company. If it got destroyed in Ouyang Li's hands, Feng Jialing wouldn't know how to face her husband in the
afterlife.
Ouyang Qi's heart ached when he saw his mother's haggard look.
In the past, he was ignorant and only knew how to have fun. He was an idle playboy who had never done any
serious work in his life and only made his mother angry.
Now that the Ouyang family was in a crisis, there was nothing he could do. He could only act as a chauffeur for his
sister.
“Mom, you have to take care of yourself. Eat more, especially food that has nourishment. You've lost a lot of
weight,” Ouyang Qi said caringly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I'm fine. You should be careful of—”
Before Feng Jialing could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Ouyang Li. “Shut up! Stop talking about
meaningless things in front of me. I have something to say.”
“Li, why won't you let Mom speak? How can you do this?”
Ouyang Qi was disappointed in Ouyang Li's attitude.
“I said shut up! Didn't you hear me? You're saying that I'm treating her badly, but has she ever treated me well?
Everyone believes that the Ouyang family has only one daughter, Ouyang Qing. No one even remembers that I
exist. They don't even look at me. She treated me so badly, so why do I have to treat her well?” Ouyang Li bellowed
angrily.
Ouyang Li was right. Feng Jialing could only shake her head, unable to refute.
It was an undeniable fact that she did not attach any importance to Ouyang Li in the past. The latter was simply too
ordinary.
“Let me ask you, Mom. If someone betrayed you, and that person was your family, what would you do?” Ouyang Li
asked as she stared at Feng Jialing.
Feng Jialing stared at her daughter fearfully. She did not know what tricks the latter had up her sleeves.
“Mom, didn't you hear me? Do I need to speak louder?” Ouyang Li bellowed again.
“Li, are you really going to speak to Mom like that? No matter how she treated you before, she's still the one who
gave birth to you and raised you!” Ouyang Qi could not bear it any longer.
“Shut up! It's not your turn to speak yet. Tell me, Mom. What would you do?” Ouyang Li pressed.
“Li, what exactly are you trying to say? Just spit it out. I'm tired, and I don't want to argue with you,” Feng Jialing
said weakly.
“Fine, I'll just say it then. I didn't want to give Ouyang Qi a chance at first, but your son begged me to give him a job.
Since we're siblings, I let him stay and work with me. However, he betrayed me. He tapped my phone and leaked
information to the Nan family! Since he has no regard for our relationship as siblings, I can't keep him with me any
longer. I'm informing you first, lest you say that I'm heartless again. Starting today, Ouyang Qi is officially fired. I will
never give him another chance!”
