Chapter 1772: Chapter 1772: The Truth of the Matter

“I want to talk to you about something,” after Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing walked into the kitchen, Ouyang Feifei suddenly said to Luo Ziling, who was sitting opposite her: “Is that okay?”

Luo Liansheng, Ouyang Lingyun, and Luo Xusheng all looked over.

Luo Ziling had no choice but to agree: “Alright!”

“Let’s take a walk outside, the air in the garden is nice,” he stood up and walked outside.

Ouyang Feifei nodded and followed Luo Ziling out of the living room.

Today, Ouyang Feifei was dressed very formally, wearing a business suit underneath and an overcoat on top. Her hair was tied up high, giving her a very dignified and noble look. Walking with her, it felt like an irresistible pressure.

“What do you want to say?” After walking some distance, Ouyang Feifei hadn’t spoken, so Luo Ziling couldn’t help but ask curiously: “Is it something hard to say?”

“I want to explain something about Ouyang Huihui.”

“What do you want to explain?”

“No matter what, you won’t be with her, right?” Ouyang Feifei asked Luo Ziling in return.

Luo Ziling looked at Ouyang Feifei but didn’t answer the question: “This shouldn’t be related to what you want to say, right?”

“Of course it’s related!”

Luo Ziling frowned and said, “If I answer ‘yes,’ it’s one explanation, if I answer ‘no,’ it’s another?”

Ouyang Feifei didn’t answer. After a moment of silence, she started talking on her own.

“During the New Year, she went to Yuezhou. That night, after you got drunk and went to bed, she sneaked into your room while no one was paying attention. It should have been her initiative, and eventually, you ended up having a relationship. The next morning, she was still asleep in your room. We all know she did it on purpose. After such a thing happened, she kept sleeping by your side as a way of challenging us. My grandfather was furious, your mother was also furious, and of course, I was very angry too. In his anger, grandpa scolded her and threatened to sever ties with her and kick her out of the family. In the end, it was decided to send her to study in Europe, and she agreed to this arrangement.”

As she spoke of this, Ouyang Feifei’s expression was already calm, as if she were talking about something unrelated to her.

Luo Ziling didn’t interject, just listened quietly.

“Grandpa was afraid that when you woke up, things would get even more out of hand, so he had her leave Yuezhou immediately and return to Yanjing first. We agreed with her that as long as she didn’t bring up this matter, it would be overlooked as if it never happened. She agreed to it. So she hurried back to Yanjing and then quickly went off to Europe. I was the one who arranged her studies,” said Ouyang Feifei, turning to look at Luo Ziling. “I, as her elder sister, was rejected by you, and yet my own sister tried every means to seduce you and ended up in bed with you. You can imagine how angry I was at the time. Therefore, I fully supported grandpa’s decision, and was even angrier than he was. If you want to blame me, I won’t argue, but I hope you can understand my feelings at the time.”

Luo Ziling said nothing, still walking slowly.

Ouyang Feifei matched her pace with him.

“Before she left, she promised us she wouldn’t contact you and wouldn’t return to the country within five years. If she adhered to this, all the Ouyang family’s assets in Europe would belong to her. But she didn’t keep her promise and went to Seoul to see you. More surprising, she got pregnant with your child. You should know, no one will allow her to have this child—neither my grandfather, my father, your grandfather, nor your parents will agree. She’s afraid of losing everything, and she doesn’t want a child at this time, so she’s more eager than us to terminate the pregnancy. Handling this quickly benefits everyone. You should understand this too. She, too, thinks it’s too ridiculous, and after agreeing to terminate the pregnancy, she’s willing to return to Europe immediately.”

“Are you done?” Luo Ziling instinctively asked when he saw Ouyang Feifei pause.

“I’m done!”

“Don’t you think all of you are being very realistic?” Luo Ziling showed a slightly sarcastic expression.

“I don’t deny it,” Ouyang Feifei looked at Luo Ziling calmly, “In many matters, I am very realistic. If you were in my position, you would be realistic too.”

“I’m very angry,” Luo Ziling said unhappily, “You shouldn’t have kept what happened during New Year from me. Did you think if you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t pursue it? I actually suspected this was the case.”

“I know, even if you knew you had that relationship with Huihui, you wouldn’t marry her, right?” Without waiting for Luo Ziling to answer, Ouyang Feifei continued, “So, not telling you can avoid more awkwardness.”

“But I can’t tolerate your deception.”

“We didn’t deceive you, we only concealed the truth of the matter.”

Luo Ziling was stunned for a moment, realizing she had a point, and didn’t know what to say.

Ouyang Feifei said no more.

After a moment of silence, Luo Ziling spoke again, “Handling matters this way afterward, I also don’t feel comfortable. I don’t agree with how you and Ouyang Huihui are handling things.”

“So you intentionally distanced yourself from me? Deliberately didn’t collaborate on some things?”

Seeing Ouyang Feifei speak directly, Luo Ziling didn’t shy away, “That’s one reason. But more importantly, I don’t want everything I do to be connected to you. I, too, am a proud person and don’t like the women around me to be more assertive than I am. Even with my mom, my attitude is the same. So, I want to make my own decisions and achieve something through my own abilities. Yuqing is my sister, she also wants to accomplish something, and I’m willing to let her handle many things; there’s no barrier between us, I trust her. So, don’t be upset over some things, I don’t want everything to bear your mark.”

These words from Luo Ziling made Ouyang Feifei quite saddened, and her gaze at him was full of resentment.

But in the end, she said nothing, and after looking away, she replied lightly, “I understand.”

“I’ll definitely continue our previous collaboration. The cooperation between our two families and the things you and my mom do together, I won’t interfere. But regarding my own matters, I hope to make my own decisions.”

“Okay!” Ouyang Feifei said calmly, “Thank you for honestly telling me all this. I have nothing more to say!”

With that, she apologized and prepared to return to the living room.

Watching Ouyang Feifei walk back to the house with a hint of desolation, Luo Ziling suddenly felt a lack of enthusiasm.

This woman seemed too calm!
