CHAPTER 855: CHAPTER 855: WHO IS MORE DEVIOUS? (4)

"Looking for whom? The fourth one has already run off," Xiao Shulan frowned, feeling it unlikely to find anyone to consult.

People on the outside always have a notion of watching a spectacle or hoping to gain something for themselves, not necessarily providing them the best advice.

Xiao Shuju thought so too, realizing they could only rely on themselves now. She straightened her face, feigning seriousness, "Given the situation, I think stopping is a lack of courage. That would be even more disappointing to Dad and our big sister. We must keep moving forward, there’s no turning back."

"If we take the initiative to negotiate, won’t it seem like we’re pleading with them? In that case, the price will be pressed very low," Xiao Shulan hesitated.

"I don’t think so," Xiao Shuju was confident, reassuring her, "Second sister, you have a daughter. As you mentioned before, at the airport, Yueting performed well. Seeing more of Yueting, she seemed to like her more and more. If a marriage alliance happens, they wouldn’t dare treat us too poorly, considering we’d be in-laws."

This seemed reasonable. Xiao Shulan nodded, thinking to herself that her daughter was becoming increasingly clever. Such a good idea, it was like killing two birds with one stone.

As Xiao Shuju said this, Kang Yueting happened to knock and walk in. Hearing that her aunt supported her this much, Kang Yueting happily walked over to Xiao Shuju and gently called, "Aunt."

Sensing the flattery in her voice, Xiao Shuju smiled and patted her on the head. If Kang Yueting were to marry into the Ou Family, as her aunt, she’d gain some honor as well.

The fourth one suddenly deciding to run back to the United States must be because she couldn’t stand the second one’s flaunting. The flaunting even reached the point where her daughter would surpass the fourth one’s daughter by marrying into the Ou Family. Honestly, if Xiao Shuju had a daughter herself, she would definitely feel envious alongside Xiao Shuzhu.

Understandable.

Xiao Shuju turned to the mother-daughter pair, "Second sister, you need to find some time to get Yueting a nice outfit and a hairstyle. For a woman, looking beautiful is very important."

Truly said, Xiao Shulan nodded and spoke to the third sister, "It’s just that I’m so busy, I don’t have the time to take care of other things. You have more free time than I do, why don’t you take Yueting to that hair salon we often visit and let them design a hairstyle for Yueting."

"Alright." With something to do, Xiao Shuju immediately got up and pulled Kang Yueting out.

As the two of them were about to step out the door, the phone on Xiao Shulan’s desk rang.

Xiao Shulan picked up the receiver.

On the other end was the person she sent out to inquire about Ou Shihua’s news, saying, "Second Miss, it’s not good, I heard President Ou has arranged to meet a lady with his family tonight."

"Who?" Xiao Shulan’s face changed drastically, her voice instantly turning sharp, gripping the phone cord tightly.

Clearly, this matter seemed more serious to her than Changda being seized. After all, she didn’t really expect that their family fortune could be completely preserved, even if they were to unite with the Ou Family. In such a situation, her daughter marrying well seemed more crucial.

As for who Xiao Shulan was asking about, the caller found it hard to say, but it had to be said eventually, as Xiao Shulan would find out sooner or later.

"It’s the eldest daughter’s daughter—"

Though both anticipated and unanticipated, the more Xiao Shulan thought about it, the angrier she became. Recalling that day at the airport, Ou Shihua’s attitude towards them was actually quite decent, indicating a good impression and considering them as potential in-laws.
