My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Chapter 703: Putting On A Show

Xiao Xiaofu’s words made Ou Ze’s eyes turn red. He clenched his teeth and said, “Xia Xiaofu, do you dare to repeat what you just said?”

“Ou Ze, don’t expect one time. I dare to repeat it a hundred times! The wife that you have plotted to make her yours belongs to another man. Her body and heart belong to another person. Not only were you cheated on, but you are just a pathetic worm!”

“You! I will strangle you!” Ou Ze locked both of his hands around Xia Xiaofu’s tender neck.

Xia Xiaofu knocked on the cabinet, and she immediately found it hard to breathe. Ou Ze was crazy, and he locked his hands onto her neck as he lifted her up from the ground.

Xia Xiaofu did not beg for him to spare her. She would not beg him for it. She glared at Ou Ze fiercely, and even after being a ghost, she would not let him go. He has ruined her life and made her lose everything. In the past year, if she did not have Little Fifth with her to support her, she would have long ago died with him.

Ou Ze noticed that she was being so stubborn, and the anger inside his heart was growing more and more. She actually dared to flirt with Ou Luoxi in front of him and make him embarrassed. He’s turned into a joke in front of many others. She should deserve to die!

His hands used strength, and he hated that he could not break Xia Xiaofu’s neck off.

Xia Xiaofu was already unable to take in any more fresh air. Her small hands were scratching the surface of the cabinet in pain. Was she going to die now?

Maybe she was really going to die.

At this moment, the security alarm in the room rang out suddenly. She heard the sound of messy footsteps along with shouting, “Save my life! Someone has murdered a person. Someone was robbed!”

Ou Ze’s senses came flooding back to him. He let go of Xia Xiaofu’s neck before coldly snorting, “You can consider yourself to be lucky. Wait for me to come back to deal with you!”

He turned around and left the room.

Xia Xiaofu slumped down to the carpet. She brought one small hand to her neck as she took in huge breaths of fresh air; she almost died just now.

...

Ou Ze walked into the corridor. The corridor was full of people in a chaotic state. He was afraid that he might be in danger, and he squeezed into the crowd as he went out from the safety exit. His life was always more important than anything else.

As he walked, he suddenly felt a sharp object against his back. He froze and quickly raised both of his hands up to surrender. “Don’t kill me, I am only a bystander.”

He did not expect for others to start screaming from all corners at this moment. “Save my life. Save my life!”

In the messy chaos, the crowd heard the pleas for help, and the scene went berserk. Everyone covered their heads as they dashed away quickly.

Ou Ze’s entire heart sunk. His entire body was shaking as he begged for mercy, “Don’t harm me. I will give you all the money I have... Ah!”

Ou Ze’s right hand was in pain. He let out a pitiful cry and was not done yet. Someone behind him kicked his right kneecap, and he knelt down on the floor immediately. The sound of his bones breaking rang out clearly in the air.

Ou Ze fell onto the floor. His entire body was spasming. The muscles in his right hand were pulled and broken, and his right thigh was also rendered useless.

The crowd in the corridor all dispersed. The hotel security team ran over quickly. The security officer saw the fresh blood flowing onto the carpet, and his entire head was covered in cold sweat as he said, “Sir, Sir, are you okay?”

“Call an ambulance, quickly!”

The doctors nervously carried a stretcher over, and the nurses lifted Ou Ze up onto the stretcher. He was given an oxygen mask. Ou Ze’s face was pale as he opened his eyes. He was done for...

“Send him to the hospital, quickly.”

The doctors quickly entered the lift and brought the stretcher towards the main lobby. Suddenly, a handsome figure walked into the main lobby. “Ah, Older Brother. What is wrong with you?”

Ou Luoxi stopped by the side of the stretcher. His hands were in his pockets as he bent his waist down lazily. There was a calm and relaxed smile on the corners of his lips as he looked at Ou Ze.

Ou Ze understood everything that happened instantly, and his pupils contracted as he wanted to struggle and get up. “It was you!”

“Older Brother, what are you talking about?” Ou Luoxi looked downwards and had a look at Ou Ze’s right leg and hand before clicking his lips as he let out a sigh, “Tsk tsk, Older Brother, why were you so careless? There is someone who was robbing others in the hotel, and you were actually dragged into this as an innocent party. Older Brother, you don’t have to worry. That robber has already been arrested. He must admit to the crimes that he did towards Older Brother. I would ensure that the robber is in jail for a few years, and by doing that, it can also be considered giving Older Brother proper closure.”

Ou Ze’s entire body was shaking. He widened his eyes and said, “You...”

Ou Luoxi took one hand out of his pocket before gently pressing Ou Ze’s chest. He seemed to not be using any strength, but the moment he did so, he pressed Ou Ze back onto the stretcher, as Ou Ze shook in pain.

“Older Brother, don’t be angry, okay? If you are too agitated, that robber may escape prison to find you. I can’t guarantee that the next time it happens, both your left hand and leg would be still intact.”

Ou Ze was already at a loss for words.

Ou Luoxi lowered his body down again and bent down by Ou Ze’s ear to softly say, “Older Brother being like this makes me think of the time so many years ago. When I was 8, the scene where the entire temple was bathed in blood. Over the past year, I could never fall asleep because every time I’d close my eyes, I would think of the time when Little Fourth was about to die. He wept as he looked at me. Older Brother has personally taught me step by step that this is a world where the powerful eat the weak. When we are dealing with bad people, we have to be thousands and hundreds of times worse than them.”

Ou Ze was experiencing a great amount of pain. His left hand that was drooped by his side was tightly kneaded into a fist. He glared at Ou Luoxi fiercely and said, “Let’s see as we go along.”

Ou Luoxi straightened his body upright and put his left hand in his pocket again. A smile formed on his face as he casually said, “That is what I intend to do. Older Brother, both of us are not done with one another yet.”

Ou Ze: “...”

The doctor lifted Ou Ze and left.

...

Xia Xiaofu stood up from the floor, and she tidied up her clothes before opening the door. She heard someone screaming outside the door just now, and she also did not feel safe here, so she decided to leave this place as soon as possible.

Xia Xiaofu had a look at the corridor. There’d been the sound of many people walking around, but now, there was not a single person in sight. Could everyone have run away already?

Xia Xiaofu headed forward.

She walked over to a room, and the door was not shut tight. There was a gap in the door, and Xia Xiaofu heard a familiar voice; it was Gong Ling.

She stopped in her tracks to look inside the room. Both Gong Ling and Ah Li were inside the room.

“Ah Li, where is Older Brother Gong Ming? I want to see him now.”

“Young Miss, I am sorry. Young Master has some matters to deal with. It is not convenient for you to meet him now.”

“Hmph, what is he attending to? Is Older Brother Gong Ming meeting Older Sister Xia now?”

“Young Miss, Mrs .Ou is Young Master’s older sister-in-law, don’t...”

“Since she is his older sister-in-law, then why at the underground casino just now... How could Older Brother Gong Ming hug his older sister-in-law, kiss, and even touch her? Don’t hide this from me anymore. I already know everything, there must be something going on that cannot be known to outsiders between Older Brother Gong Ming and his older sister-in-law.”

Gong Ling was very emotional, and Ah Li was much more calm as he said, “Young Miss, did Ah Gan tell you that? Ah Gan wants to frame Young Master. How could you believe him?”

Gong Ling froze, but she quickly said, “But facts are facts. If you all do not explain this matter clearly, I will give my Daddy a call today. My Daddy would definitely send people to investigate this well and help me make a decision.”

Upon hearing her words, Ah Li’s gaze flickered for a moment before he said, “Young Miss, the matters that happened in the casino today involve a secret. You might not know this, but Young Master’s older brother Ou Ze has always seen Young Master as his enemy. He has tried to kill Young Master a few times before, and Young Master has finally come back this time to seek revenge.”

“What? That Ou Ze actually wants to harm my Older Brother Gong Ming? I think he does not want to live anymore! But, what does this have to do with Older Sister Xia?”

“Young Miss, Ou Ze might be a businessman on the surface, but under the surface, he has been privately investing in military arms. His military arms are extremely hidden, and he has foreign powers as his backup. If we do not get rid of these arms, we are unable to destroy Ou Ze at his roots. Today, at the underground casino, one of those foreign big bosses was Ou Ze’s spy, but we were unable to confirm which one, so Young Master chose to do those intimate actions towards Mrs. Ou to give those people a false impression. As we expected, the moment the spy saw Mrs. Ou and Young Master behaving intimately with one another, he told Ou Ze about, and we have successfully caught that big fish.”

“You are trying to say that Older Brother Gong Ming is making use of Older Sister Xia?”

“Yes.” Ah Li nodded his head and said, “Young Miss, Mrs. Ou is already Ou Ze’s wife. No matter what happens, Young Master would not behave inappropriately with someone else’s wife, and furthermore, Young Miss is by Young Master’s side now. As long as Young Miss spends all of her effort to treat Young Master well, don’t doubt him. There will be a day when Young Master will marry Young Miss.”

Whatever Gong Ling told Ah Li after that, Xia Xiaofu did not listen on. She took the lift and went downstairs, and she understood everything now.

Actually, she found it quite weird. Ever since Ou Luoxi came back, he maintained a distance from her, and at the underground casino today, he was behaving very abnormally. He actually chose to do those intimate acts towards her, and at the start, she did not get it.

And now, she understood everything. He did it to find Ou Ze’s person. No wonder Ou Ze got news so quickly and went to look for her.

Xia Xiaofu had a look at the mirror inside the lift. In the mirror, the marks on her neck were very red and eye-catching. She put a scarf on her neck to cover it up.

She came out in a hurry, and she did not brush her hair that was tugged by Ou Ze. She stretched her hand out to tidy it up, making herself not look so dishevelled and sad.

No matter what, life still had to go on.

And now that the sky was dark, she wanted to go back home. She wanted to hug and kiss Little Fifth.

Ding! The elevator opened up, and she walked out.

She walked over to the main lobby, and Xia Xiaofu saw a familiar figure. Ou Luoxi stood at one corner, and he was conversing softly with a bodyguard dressed in black.

Maybe it was because he sensed her coming over that Ou Luoxi raised his gaze up to have a look.

Xia Xiaofu looked him in the eye and nodded her head politely before she headed towards the exit of the main lobby.

“Young Master,” the bodyguard called out to him.

Ou Luoxi did not say anything, and he pursed his thin lips as he looked at Xia Xiaofu’s back profile.

At this moment, “Mrs. Ou, please hold for a moment.” A hotel worker rushed over.

Xia Xiaofu turned back.

“Mrs. Ou, are you leaving now? The auction is starting soon. You can go inside to have a look at whether you have something that you like. At this auction, we will be rolling out some baby jades. Mrs. Ou can pick one for Little Princess Ou.”

A baby jade was hung on a small baby’s neck as a pendant. It was sparkling and warm, and a piece of jade would protect the person wearing it.

Xia Xiaofu thought about it and realized that ever since Little Fifth was born, she has not held any celebrations for Little Fifth, and she has not given her a single gift.

Little Fifth was always under Ou Ze’s name. T City had rumours that Little Fifth was not favoured since she was young, and she was an unlucky child.

“Sure, I will go and have a look then.”

“Sure, Mrs. Ou, please come with me.”

...

At the auction

“Young Master Gong Ming, your seat in the first row Please come over with me.” A female usher welcomed him passionately.

Ou Luoxi shook his head before sitting down in a seat in the back. He waved his hand before asking the female usher to leave.

The female usher left, and Ou Luoxi looked in front of him. Xia Xiaofu was sitting in that direction.

The auction officially started. Xia Xiaofu was not interested in antiques, and she waited till the second end of the auction. She waited long enough for the baby jades.

Xia Xiaofu liked one warm light green jade piece. It was hung on a red string, and it was very suitable for Little Fifth to wear on her neck. She wanted to buy it, so she had a look at the starting auction price. It was 500 thousand dollars.

“Okay, the auction will begin now. Please give your prices,” the host said.

Xai Xiaofu raised her number: 600 thousand dollars.

“Mrs. Ou is our first bidder. The bidding price is...” The host froze for a moment. She was on the spot as she said, “Mrs Ou, our starting price is 5 million dollars, your price...”

Everyone looked at her, and when they had a clear look at Xia Xiaofu’s 600 thousand dollars bidding price, they covered their mouths as they laughed secretly, and they gossiped about her.

It was only then that Xia Xiaofu realized that she’d made a mistake. The number on the host table was too small, and she missed a zero.

Actually, in the past year, the first time that she heard Ou Luoxi ending up in an accident, she rolled down from the stairs and hurt her right eye immediately. After that she would weep every day, and her right eye was hurt and her vision was reduced. She could not see extra small numbers and numbers placed far away from her.

Of course this was a small matter, and it did not affect her life.

When she saw everyone judging her, Xia Xiaofu did worry too much about it. She straightened her beautiful back straight before standing up confidently. “I am sorry, I will make a move.”

She lifted her heels and left.

She still could afford a jade that was within 1 million dollars, but she could not afford to buy a jade that had a starting price of 5 million dollars.

Xia Xiaofu walked towards the door and coincidentally brushed past Ou Luoxi’s side. Their gazes somewhat met, but they played it off as if they didn’t, and Xia Xiaofu brushed past him like that.

...

After returning to the Ou home, the first thing Xia Xiaofu did was embrace Little Fifth. Little Fifth was already four months old now. She got heavier and heavier, and she also liked to roll around on the bed now.

Because she came back late, her mother had already bathed Little Fifth. Her mother went back to her room to sleep. Xia Xiaofu carried Little Fifth to her bed before lying down by her side.

“Little Fifth, Mummy saw a beautiful piece of jade today, but Mummy did not have enough money to buy it. I am sorry Little Fifth. Although Mummy does not have the ability to give you the best quality of life, Mummy will give all of my love to you.

“Little Fifth, Mummy has already made the decision to put in a divorce request to the courts tomorrow. We will leave this Ou home. Maybe in the future, our home will not be too big, but we will definitely be very happy.”

Little Fifth listened to Mummy’s gentle and charming voice. She stopped moving and looked at Mummy with her large, sparkling eyes. The moment she did so, Little Fifth realized that Mummy’s beautiful, almond-shaped eyes were sparkling with glistening tears.

Little Fifth started to blabber immediately, before she stretched her small cute hands out to touch Mummy’s face.

Xia Xiaofu raised her gaze and held the hot tears back. She was unwilling to shed tears in front of her child. She held Little Fifth’s small hand as she lowered her gaze down to kiss it, before she softly said, “Little Fifth, there is something else that Mummy wants to tell you. Maybe in the future, you will not have...”

Xia Xiaofu choked up immediately, and she could not say the word Daddy. At this moment, her heart felt extremely broken and painful.
