Chapter 157: I Don’t Like Women Who Are Too Smart
Liu Qiangui was in a good mood recently. He found everything pleasing to the eye. He even felt that the old woman at home’s complexion had improved a lot recently.
The only thing that worried Liu Qiangui was his daughter, Liu Yumeng. This child was good in everything, whether she was good-looking (he thought) or had a good temperament. However, she was too simple-minded. Even now, she still wanted to marry that Ouyang Yu all day long.
Liu Qiangui thought about it again and again and decided to send his daughter abroad. Now he was not short of money. In the past, he thought that if Liu Yufei wanted to go abroad to study, his brother would certainly let his daughter study.
But yesterday, he tried to call again and asked. His brother’s tone not only said that he was worthless, but he also said that Yumeng was worse than him.
Even Buddha had to fight for his reputation, let alone a human? He had made up his mind to send his daughter out to learn some skills.
“Dad, is what you said true? Can I really go abroad to study? When I come back from studying, they won’t look down on me anymore?”
When Liu Qiangui heard her daughter’s words, he felt that he seemed to have underestimated his daughter. When he heard that she was willing to go abroad to study, it was quite a novelty.
“Of course, I’m a man of my word. I only have you as my daughter. Of course, I hope that you can do well. I still need you to support me for the rest of my life. Think about it. When you come back from studying abroad, be it your knowledge or temperament, you will be a few streets above Liu Yufei. No matter how outstanding she is, she is only in China.”
“Now, families with slightly better conditions will send their children abroad to further their studies. Our Mengmeng is so beautiful and so outstanding. Naturally, you have to go as well. Moreover, there are many more handsome and rich children abroad other than in China. Let’s take the long view… This Ouyang Yu looks like a playboy. If you find a better one, won’t you drive the big house crazy?”
“Yes, Yumeng, your father is right. Girls who come back from studying abroad are extremely precious. They can also marry a good man. However, you have to open your eyes wide and choose. Also, be careful when you do things, especially girls. Don’t be like that Liu Yufei. If a woman serves many men, it won’t be rare.”
Liu Qiangui initially felt that his wife’s words were a little too explicit and did not know how to avoid it. However, when he thought about it, it was indeed the case. They had to properly discuss these matters with his daughter when she was overseas alone. She was really like his niece… At that time, he would have nowhere to cry.
“Dad, Mom, do you think I’m stupid? I’m telling you that I’m not stupid. You know what kind of person I am. I can’t do what Liu Yufei did. I will cherish myself. Moreover, my family doesn’t rely on me to sell meat to earn money. What do I want? Don’t worry, I will learn my skills well and find an excellent son-in-law for you. I won’t embarrass you.”
The matter was settled so easily. Liu Qiangui did not think that he would be able to convince his daughter so easily. However, he also realized that his daughter was not as stupid as she appeared to be. She had her own thoughts.
Liu Qiangui was different from Liu Qianmin. Although he was scum, his heart for his precious daughter could not be compared to anyone else. He definitely did not have any interest in her.
He knew his own matters. In his life, he only had one daughter, Liu Yumeng. He was infertile. Back then, when she was born, she was still a test-tube baby. Therefore, he was afraid for Liu Yumeng. He held her in his hands for fear that she would fall. Of course, he was good to her from the bottom of his heart.
When Liu Qianmin found out that his niece had been sent to study abroad, he was shocked for a while. However, when he thought that his younger brother had probably spent all his family savings on his daughter, he did not know why he felt a little uncomfortable.
The next day, he transferred a sum of money to Liu Qiangui, causing Liu Qiangui to be puzzled.
…
Pei Li held the photo in his hand. Although he had paid a large sum of money, he had at least managed to appease the greedy Liu Qiangui. However, he did not expect his mother to actually get together with Liu Yufei’s father.
After thinking for a while, he decided not to question her mother because it was not the right time yet. He had an idea in his mind. With this thing, he could also make use of his mother. Perhaps he could really easily obtain the Shen Enterprise.
The most important thing now was to urge the Shen family to call the eldest daughter of the Shen family back. The engagement between them should be fulfilled.
…
“What did you say? You’re not going? Ouyang Tang’s 75th birthday invited all the celebrities, and my engagement has been decided to be canceled at the birthday banquet. How can you not go?”
Shen Xiaoxiao thought she had heard a huge joke. Wasn’t this Yan Kuan clearly going to deal with the Ouyang family? Why didn’t he attend the Ouyang family’s banquet?
The invitation cards had been sent, and there were a few more. Some were from the KN Group, and some were from K-ONE. Why didn’t he attend such an important moment?
Yan Kuan fiddled with the computer in his hand, as if he didn’t think that there was anything wrong with his decision. Without even looking at Shen Xiaoxiao, he said very naturally, “Weren’t you the one who said that you wanted to personally resolve the engagement yourself and not let me interfere?”
“Why are you back now? I’m letting you do it yourself, so that you won’t say that you’re useless and annoying again.”
“What are you talking about? When have I ever said that? Although I do want to do it myself, you don’t have to not go. I won’t accept your reason if it’s not sufficient.”
“Unless, you’re afraid? You’re afraid of facing the Ouyang family? Am I right?”
Shen Xiaoxiao boldly said what was on her mind. Sure enough, Yan Kuan’s hand that was fiddling with the computer paused. He raised his head to look at Shen Xiaoxiao. His eyes did not move at all. He was extremely focused. His deep eyes seemed to want to suck her whole body in. He looked at her until Shen Xiaoxiao was at a loss. Only then did he slowly withdraw his gaze. He raised his hand to close the computer and stood up. He slowly walked in front of Shen Xiaoxiao.
“Have I ever told you that I like smart women, but I don’t like my women being too smart?”
“As for your question just now, I can make an exception to answer you once. Yes, I am indeed avoiding the Ouyang family. Are you satisfied with this answer?”
Shen Xiaoxiao was forced back by his close proximity. His gaze was so cold that it made people shudder.
She suddenly realized that she did not understand this man at all. His aura changed so easily. Just a moment ago, he could still hold her in his arms and whisper gently, but when he turned around, he was as cold and unpredictable as a stranger.
At this moment, she suddenly began to rejoice. Her relationship with him was only a transaction, only temporary.
Because she had to admit that she was afraid of this man. At this moment, she was especially afraid.
Her heart felt a little stifled and painful. There were also some things that came out from the bottom of her heart and flew away. She could not even catch hold of them.
Suddenly, the person in front of her revealed a smile. The smile that was used to wipe out all life was never beautiful and affectionate.
He was so contradictory that it was impossible for people to see him clearly and touch him deeply. This man’s entire body was filled with bewitchment, thorns, and contradictions. She wanted to get close to him, but once she got close, she would be cut all over again. The pain was inexplicable.
“Look at how scared your little face is. Be good, smile…”
