"Sis, you ca here to catch us in the act, didn't you?" Ouyang Huihui looked at Ouyang Feifei, who was standing there with a cold face, her own expression full of mocking amusent.
Ouyang Feifei said nothing, walked into the private room without any expression, and sat down on a chair.
"How about this, you two sisters talk for a while first?" Luo Ziling smiled at Ouyang Feifei. "I'll go back to the lab. I haven't finished what I was doing tonight. I'll co back in a bit."
Ouyang Feifei and Ouyang Huihui stared at Luo Ziling in surprise, and it was obvious they were both a little angry.
He really wasn't taking them seriously at all, was he?
"After I left your place, I called together those people who are learning from and had them practice acupuncture skill. While we were still practicing, Huihui interrupted us." Luo Ziling explained with a smile. "As a teacher, I have to see a class through from start to finish. I'm sure you two sisters have things to say that you don't want hearing. I'll go back, finish up, then co over. Twenty minutes tops. I figure in twenty minutes, you'll have said what you need to say, right?"
"Fine, then go first!" Ouyang Feifei didn't object.
Of course Ouyang Huihui didn't want Luo Ziling to just leave like that, but since Ouyang Feifei had said so, it was hard for her to oppose it.
Luo Ziling went back to school, checked on Dong Xiaowan and the others' acupuncture skill practice, sumd things up, and then let them all go back to rest.
There was Dong Xiaowan's class tomorrow morning, so Luo Ziling gave her a few instructions.
Dong Xiaowan wanted to ask about Luo Ziling's business with Ouyang Huihui, but Luo Ziling didn't want to talk to her about that. He just waved his hand and left.
When Luo Ziling ca back to Ouyang Feifei and Ouyang Huihui, the two sisters were sitting there in silence.
Ouyang Feifei's aura was stronger, while Ouyang Huihui looked a bit wronged.
Seeing Luo Ziling co in, neither of them spoke.
"Want sothing for a late-night snack?" Luo Ziling smiled. "I figure you two must be tired from arguing."
Ouyang Feifei glared angrily at Luo Ziling.
Ouyang Huihui smiled and said in a mocking tone, "My dear sis thinks we're planning to rekindle an old romance, so she ca to break us up. I told her we were just talking about so things that needed to be said, but she refuses to believe it."
"Ouyang Huihui, don't forget what you promised." Ouyang Feifei looked at Ouyang Huihui without any politeness. "You only got the chance to co back because you agreed to Grandfather's conditions. If Grandfather finds out you ca out tonight to see Ziling, what do you think he'll make of this? I kindly reminded you and even tried to cover for you, and you actually don't appreciate it?"
"Heh, if you were really doing it for my own good, that'd be nice!" Ouyang Huihui's face was still full of sarcasm.
"Sure enough, the richer the family, the ssier the grudges. There's no such thing as harmonious siblings in a wealthy clan." Luo Ziling looked at Ouyang Feifei with a cold smile, then glanced at Ouyang Huihui. "Real sisters talking like they're enemies—tell , isn't that funny? Not like us poor folks; our thoughts are simple."
"The only reason Grandfather agreed to let her co back is because she promised she wouldn't co looking for you again, wouldn't have any more entanglents with you." Ouyang Feifei said seriously, "The things she's done have scared everyone. So I'm worried she'll stir up trouble again, and when that happens it won't be so easy to clean up. I'm the one in charge now; I have to handle this properly. If I don't, I can't face Grandfather's trust, and I can't answer to the rest of the family."
At this point, Ouyang Feifei turned to look at Ouyang Huihui. "Each of us is a chess piece, and right now the board is a complete ss. One careless move and you could be ruined, smashed to pieces, forced off the board. If you insist on clinging to Ziling and insist on making trouble for everyone, I won't let you have your way. If you don't believe , use these few days to investigate carefully what's been happening in Yanjing. I'm sure you'll understand what's happened here lately, what those big figures are doing, and what they're after."
As she spoke, she pointed at Luo Ziling. "And he is a very crucial piece. A few days ago, soone tried to splash dirty water on him, ruin his reputation, and make everything even more chaotic. Fortunately, it's over now and nothing serious ca of it. But the reason there wasn't any big trouble is that Ziling spent a lot of manpower and resources to deal with it. If you co back and stir up trouble for him again, make things completely unmanageable, do you think you can bear the consequences? If Ziling and his mother end up in a passive position and lose a lot because of the trouble you cause, do you think you can compensate them?"
Ouyang Feifei's righteous speech stunned Ouyang Huihui.
She really didn't know much about what had happened in Yanjing. In fact, she hadn't even heard about Chen Jiahai's death, let alone everything that had happened recently. So after listening to Ouyang Feifei, she was completely confused.
"If you keep pestering Ziling and bringing him negative impact, then I'll recomnd to Grandfather that we send you back to Europe and make you stay there for a while longer. Anyway, Grandfather already plans to put you in charge of the European operations. The business over there is already on the scale of hundreds of millions of Euro, not exactly small." Without waiting for Ouyang Huihui to say anything, Ouyang Feifei went on, "Think whatever you like—say I'm selfish, say I just don't like you—I'll still do it. I'm not going to let your impulsiveness and stupidity drag everyone into the grave with you. Rember this: in the fighting right now, plenty of people have already died, and more will die. If you don't want to see Ziling dead, don't want him in trouble, don't want to die yourself, then stick to what you promised."
Ouyang Feifei's words made Ouyang Huihui feel an enormous pressure. She looked at Luo Ziling, then at Ouyang Feifei, and finally confird that Ouyang Feifei wasn't just trying to scare her—things really were like this.
"Fine then!" she bit her lip and said. "I'll finish what I have to say to him this ti, and after that I won't co looking for him anymore, okay?"
"Then say whatever you need to say." Seeing that her words had had an effect, Ouyang Feifei also let out a breath.
While Ouyang Feifei was lecturing Ouyang Huihui, Luo Ziling had kept quiet the whole ti.
Now he finally couldn't hold back. "Things really are delicate right now. For a lot of people, it's no exaggeration to call it a new turning point in fate. I certainly don't want to see you punished by being driven overseas. I hope you can live a normal life, do what you love, have a different kind of life of your own—and of course I hope everyone cos out of this okay."
Ouyang Huihui cut Luo Ziling off. She looked at him with deep grievance. "You really think I can have so different kind of life? When I was in Europe, I thought about trying to get close to other guys, but I just couldn't feel anything. Do you think a girl who doesn't easily fall for any man would give up her feelings easily once she actually likes soone? I don't know if you've ever truly loved anyone, but I do know you can't understand how I feel."
At this, Ouyang Huihui suddenly laughed. "Actually, I don't think you really love Yang Qingyin—or any of them, for that matter. If you truly loved them, you wouldn't be so broad in your affections, keeping such ambiguous relationships with so many won."
Ouyang Huihui's words made both Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei's expressions change.
