Chapter 1566: The Gu Family Want to Curry Favor with the Ou Family

The Ou Family spent most of the night investigating the deaths of two drivers. Ou Zhengren and his siblings only went to rest in the latter half of the night, while some people were destined to remain awake.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, the Ou Family held a family meeting. Since the meeting would discuss finding the family’s lady, even the women attended this time.

Ou Zhengren said, "The reason I’m gathering everyone today is to discuss the situation of our Ou Group’s development on the mainland, and to talk about finding my elder sister." He turned to Ou Pengfei and said, "Pengfei, you go ahead."

Ou Pengfei explained his actions in Shenzhen, particularly how the Ou Group is now established in the mainland with good development prospects, among other details.

Then he talked about the search for the elder aunt: "Zhenzhen is mainly responsible for this matter, so Zhenzhen will report."

Zhenzhen didn’t expect her brother would give her this opportunity to shine. She explained how she searched for the elder aunt, how she sought help from local agencies, met Cousin Ye, and eventually found the elder aunt.

When she mentioned finding the elder aunt, she noticed the crowd seemed less enthusiastic, so she specifically recounted the brother and sister’s visit to the Gu Family, especially the banquet:

"At the banquet, the ginseng was such a large piece, I asked about it, and Cousin’s wife said the ginseng was over a meter long and even offered to give me one. Later, I tried a dish that seemed like abalone, and upon asking, Cousin’s wife said it’s abalone slightly smaller than a tire, and if I liked it, she’d give me one.

Afterwards, Cousin’s wife brought out authentic Da Hong Pao Tea to entertain guests, and I exclaimed, ’I finally get to taste authentic Da Hong Pao.’ Cousin’s wife immediately responded, ’If cousin likes it—’

I remembered how asking about ginseng led to receiving ginseng, and asking about abalone led to receiving abalone, and worried this time they’d offer Da Hong Pao, I quickly refused, saying, ’I wouldn’t dare take such precious tea, otherwise Grandpa and Grandma would surely give me a mixed double whammy.’

Unexpectedly, Cousin’s wife said, ’I actually meant, if cousin likes this tea, just drink more.’

At this point, Ou Zhen stopped, leaving the audience who were engrossed perplexed, then they all burst into laughter.

Third Aunt Qu pointed at Ou Zhen, laughing, "You, thinking they were giving you Da Hong Pao, turns out they weren’t intending to at all, so funny."

Ou Zhen felt dissatisfied: "You all are really rude, at the Gu Family, they wanted to laugh too, but held it in."

Third Aunt mocked, "That’s because the Gu Family want to curry favor with our Ou Family, so they flatter you, not daring to laugh at you."

Ou Zhen raised her head, "Not at all, Mr. Gu is a general, and Cousin Gu is a colonel, their family is noble, why curry favor with our Ou Family?"

Third Aunt paused for a moment, then disdainfully said, "Then they must be after our Ou Family’s money."

Ou Zhen disdainfully replied, "After our Ou Family’s money? Does our Ou Family gift meter-long ginseng? Can we give away tire-sized abalone? Can we entertain guests with authentic Da Hong Pao?"

"Then why didn’t they give you Da Hong Pao?"

Ou Zhen still disdainfully said, "Third Aunt, aren’t you afraid of talking like the wind blowing strong? Authentic Da Hong Pao only yields eight ounces a year, who’d easily give it away?"

Third Aunt snorted, "What meter-long ginseng, tire-sized abalone, they did it on purpose for you kids to see, you all, being young, can’t see through it and think they’re rich. Who knows how frugally they live daily."
