Ou Cong took a hard punch from his own father and immediately clutched his head, shouting "Ouch!".
"Dad, did you really hit me so hard?" Second Young Master Ou complained after taking the punch.
Ou ZhenTing didnât expect his second son to stop running all of a sudden, and his fist remained raised without striking again.
Ou ZhenTingâs expression was still dark, and he unhappily said, "For a rebellious kid like you, a bit of force is the only way to vent my anger!"
He acted like he was about to hit his son again.
Xia Chuyi listened from the side, secretly amused: She wondered if her dad was talking about Ou Cong or Huo Shiqian.
Her second brother was bearing the brunt of Uncle Liberation Armyâs anger.
"Dad, let it go!" Xia Chuyi stepped forward to stop her father, advising, "Everything second brother says and does is for my sake."
Hearing this, Second Young Master Ou suddenly felt that the place where he was hit didnât hurt at all.
"Chuyi Chuyi, second brother knew it, you understand your second brother the most!" Ou Cong said excitedly, "With a thoughtful and lovely sister like you, second brother thinks itâs worth sacrificing for you!"
Xia Chuyi: ...
Ou ZhenTing: This rascal really knows how to win favor!
Mrs. Ou couldnât help but laugh at this point, saying, "Alright, alright, whatâs the use of being angry now, Zhen Ting?"
Mrs. Ouâs words were completely double-edged.
Whatâs the use of being angry when the engagement has already been announced?
Then, Mrs. Ou continued, "The second young masterâs right, as long as itâs for Chuyi."
"Besides, an engagement doesnât equate to marriage." Mrs. Ou comforted her husband, "Chuyi isnât getting married right away."
Upon hearing this, Ou ZhenTing felt somewhat relieved.
Yes, an engagement isnât the same as marriage, and his precious daughter hasnât even graduated yet.
Besides, since theyâre engaged, the Huo Family wonât rush things; they might as well wait a few more years before marrying!
With this thought and finding a way out, Ou ZhenTing lowered his hand.
"For your mom and sisterâs sake, I wonât punish you today." Ou ZhenTing said, giving his second son a casual glance.
Second Young Master Ou grinned and said, "Thanks, Dad!"
In his heart, he thought: Stubborn old man, canât even admit his own mistake!
But, as a son, itâs better not to dwell too much on it.
"Chuyi Chuyi, your second brother hasnât been back for a while, Iâve missed you!" Second Young Master Ou rushed to Xia Chuyiâs side, saying, "Have you received all the things Iâve sent you from the army?"
"Donât be shy with second brother, whatever you want, just tell me; second brother has plenty of money, Iâll buy it all for you!"
Originally calmed down, Ou ZhenTing, upon seeing his son so flattering toward his precious daughter, immediately became displeased again.
"What are you saying?" Ou ZhenTing glared at Ou Er, "Is there no money at home? Do you need to buy things for your sister?"
"Isnât the money you have from the family?"
After scolding Ou Er, Ou ZhenTing directly told Xia Chuyi, "Chuyi, donât rely on your second brother; where does he get money from? Itâs just pocket money from childhood, not enough to matter."
"If you really want something, tell Dad; Dad truly has money, Dad will buy it for you!"
Ou ZhenTing thought: He canât win favor over Huo Shiqian, but surely he wonât lose to his own son, will he?
