Section 165: Joining Forces

Ou Yang Ying Liang watched his wife teeter on the edge of a rage, he reached out and took Li Shi Shi's hand, then gently squeezed it

。Li Shishi turned her head to glance at Ouyang Yingliang. Seeing the calmness and serenity on her husband's face, she gradually calmed down herself. 。She couldn't figure it out: Why was she, who was usually as gentle as water, suddenly unable to maintain her composure? Perhaps it was because in her circle of friends, there had never been anyone like Ye Fan, someone whose words and actions lacked manners and taste. 。Besides, Li Shishi, who is well-known throughout the land, who would dare to treat her this way? Yet, Ye Fan, who came from Lishan to Linhai City to study, had never heard of this name. 。Even if you've heard it, I bet you'd still treat them the same way, right? What socialite, what debutante, those are all things of the past. 。。In Ouyang Yingliang's calm gaze, Li Shishi gradually regained her composure, but when she looked at Ye Fan, there was a hint of direct disregard. 。Seeing Lin Meixin begin to clear the table, Li Shishi knew that opportunities were dwindling. She spoke in a low voice: "Meixin, can you ask them two to help with clearing up? I have something I want to talk to you about." 。Upon hearing that Master Li intended to have them stand down, Lin Meiyue immediately stood up and said to Lin Meixin: "Older Sister, let me and Ye Fan pack up." 。Ye Fan didn't want to stay in this oppressive environment any longer, especially when Ou Yang Yingliang kept looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze, which made him even more uncomfortable. 。Moreover, if he and Lin Meiyu didn't leave, Li Shishi probably wouldn't feel comfortable talking to Lin Meixin. 。When Ye Fan and Lin Meiyue left, Li Shishi and Ou Yang Yingliang looked at each other, then spoke: "Mei Xin, ah, is this Ye Fan really your sister's boyfriend?" Lin Meiyue nodded, a little puzzled. 。 ot, how could he be so clueless about any rules? ot Li Shi shi frowned. Every time she thought back to Ye Fan pulling her hand before and wiping it with tissues, her heart ached. 。After a pause, she continued, "Who is ot? "

Lin Meixin's face flushed with embarrassment, but she had to answer: "Ot is Si Kong Yanran's nephew."

。"Oh?" Li Shishi trembled slightly, exchanged glances with Ou Yang Yingliang, and said incredulously, "Is she referring to Si Kong Yanran? Si Kong Yanran is a renowned beauty of Linhai. How could her nephew be so rude?" Lin Meixin lowered her head and remained silent. 。Li Shishi decided not to dwell on this issue anymore. After she learned that Ye Fan was Si Kong Yanran's nephew, the desire for revenge in her heart disappeared. 。This is precisely the time when she needs support from all sides, there's no need to provoke a prominent family over such a trivial matter. 。This time my husband and I came over to discuss something with you. 。Finally, Li Shi shifted the conversation to the main topic. 。After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Meixin with a serious expression. 。Lin Meixīn also raised her head and found that both Ou Yang Yīngliáng and Lǐ Shīshī were staring at her. 。His face was slightly flustered, but he forced himself to remain calm and asked: "Grandma Ot, just tell me straight." 。Li Shishi pondered for a moment, then revealed to him the plan Ouyang Yingliang had prepared to vie for the position of head of the Ouyang family. 。When Li Shishi was talking halfway through, Lin Meixin's face had already changed color dramatically. She looked at the couple with an expression of disbelief. 。Eugene Yang was not a figure of importance in the entire Yang family, which Lin Meixian knew very well. 。And over the years, Li Shi has been devoted to her family and children, so much so that many people have almost forgotten about her existence. 。Such two people, they actually want to compete for the position of head of the Ouyang family. Lin Meixin's heart, like calm water suddenly stirred by a tornado, causing huge waves. 。However, as Li Shishi narrated the story, Lin Meixin gradually calmed down. 。She was calmly analyzing whether there was any actionable information in Li Shishi's story. 。Until this moment, she finally understood why this couple had come to her. 。Lin Meixin could understand the couple's plight. 。If we fight, maybe there's still a chance. 。But if you don't fight, there is no chance at all. 。They will always be abandoned by the Ouyang family. 。But what about her? Is she not the same? 。When she married Ou Yang Yu that year, the Lin family gradually started to improve. 。The Lin family is like a cruise ship that relies on the large vessel of the Ouyang family. 。If there were no protection from the Ou-yang family, what would become of the Lin family? These things, she had to think about. 。Undoubtedly, Master Li brought a heavyweight bomb and gave her a glimmer of hope. 。I originally thought that after Ouyang Yu's death, the relationship between the Lin family and the Ouyang family would be completely severed. 。But now, the opportunity has arisen again. 。Even a glimmer of hope 。If you don't try, how will you know if you can't do it? You might fail, or you might succeed. 。

Failure, at most it has only hastened the time of the family's decline.

。But it succeeded. As a crucial ally in supporting Ouyang Yingliang's rise to power, the Lin family is bound to experience a resurgence. 。Faced with such a big temptation, Lin Meixin had to seriously think about it. 。Both OuYang Yingliang and Li Shishi were waiting for an answer, perhaps all it took was a nod. 。After much deliberation and a fierce internal struggle, Lin Meixin finally made her decision. 。She looked at the couple and nodded slightly. 。Ouyang Yingliang and Li Shishi let out a breath of relief as if they had been carrying a heavy burden. Their expressions finally softened considerably. 。Grandma, I have to go back and discuss this with my elders at home. 。Lin Meixin continued: But I think, we will listen to me。The prosperity of the Lin family is already many years ago. 。Since the decline, it has been languishing ever since. 。But after Lin Meixin married the designated successor of the OuYang family, the Lin family gradually prospered. 。This means that Lam Mei-xin has already become the core of the Lin family's main reliance. 。She seemed to have thought of something again, and glanced upstairs. 。Li Shishi keenly caught the expression on her face. Her mind raced, and she suddenly remembered the young man who had made her angry. 。That boy who flirted with me is the nephew of Si Kong Yanran. 。And the Sikong family, among the Seven Great Families of Linhai City, also held a prominent position. 。If you include the Si Kong family, Li's family and Lin's family behind him, Li Shi suddenly realized that Ou Yang Ying Liang still had a high chance. 。The three people were all calculating in their hearts, and then, at the same time, they looked at each other, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding. 。Li Shishi didn't directly point out the topic, but still asked cautiously: "Mei Xin, what's your relationship with Ye Fan?" 。In their just-past eye contact, they already understood each other. 。Lin Meixin nodded and said, "About this matter, I need to talk to his aunt." 。ot

What's your relationship with Si Kong Yanran like? otOu Yang Yingliang chimed in.

。Lin Meixin nodded. 。The three of them basically finalized the matter. 。Although the details weren't discussed, as long as everyone is on the same battle line, all that's needed is cooperation. 。As for the distribution of benefits afterwards, Lin Mei-hsin very cleverly did not mention it. 。But as long as it succeeds, the Lin family will only be better than it is now. 。Besides, the Si Kong family also needs a powerful assistant, doesn't it? The rest is how to get Si Kong Yanran to join forces. 。created at 2013-9-30
