Chapter 945: Tearing Off the Mask

The unfamiliar Mr. Liu said seriously, "To be honest, the government’s failure to crack down on human traffickers is a major issue."

Ou ZhenTing felt disdain toward his words: Only now he wants to say this, isn’t it just empty talk?

However, Ou ZhenTing didn’t expose the other’s hypocrisy and laughed it off, saying, "It’s not that bad, you have all done your best."

"Congratulations, Uncle Ou." At this point, Liu Yingying, who came along with Mr. Liu, greeted Ou ZhenTing after presenting the gift.

Ou ZhenTing glanced at Liu Yingying—he had seen her before.

The first time he visited school to see Chuyi, Liu Yingying had made things difficult for his precious daughter in the auditorium.

Besides, Ou Jun had told him that Liu Yingying went to the school again a few days ago to harass Chuyi.

Layer upon layer, the Ou Family was thoroughly disgusted with Liu Yingying.

But today was his precious daughter’s acknowledgment banquet, and Ou ZhenTing didn’t want any trouble.

Therefore, Ou ZhenTing nodded casually and perfunctorily replied, "Hmm."

Mr. Liu and his daughter didn’t think much of it, assuming Ou ZhenTing was just that kind of person—they would never imagine anyone would be indifferent toward them.

After all, the father and daughter believed they commanded respect.

After some chitchat with Ou ZhenTing, Mr. Liu suddenly asked, "General Ou, where is your son? Why hasn’t he come out to greet the guests?"

His face showed loving concern.

"It’s his sister’s acknowledgment banquet, naturally, he’s helping behind the scenes." Ou ZhenTing continued to laugh it off.

He showed no intention of asking Ou Jun to come and greet.

Hearing this, Mr. Liu still didn’t sense Ou ZhenTing’s indifference and said, "It seems your son cares deeply for your daughter! Such a good child, truly a good child!"

Then, changing the topic, Mr. Liu finally revealed his true intention of the visit, saying, "General Ou, to be honest, I came today not just to congratulate you, but with an important matter to discuss."

Then Mr. Liu pointed to his daughter Liu Yingying with a smile and said, "My daughter Ying Ying is both beautiful and talented, having returned from studying abroad... intelligent and capable..."

Mr. Liu didn’t hold back in praising his daughter, even intentionally using refined language.

"I believe that my Ying Ying and your son, Ou Jun, Vice Captain, are perfectly matched." Mr. Liu said confidently, "Therefore, I wish for our two families to be joined in marriage, what do you say?"

"Mr. Liu, what do you mean by this?" Upon hearing this, Ou ZhenTing no longer played along, dropping his amiable facade, and directly said with displeasure, "The fact that my Junjun has a fiancée might not be widely known in the Capital City, but most people are aware."

"With these words, Mr. Liu, where do you intend to place my son?"

Ou ZhenTing’s patience reached its limit, he was ready to tear away the pretense and quickly have them leave—before the banquet officially started.

Simultaneously, Xia Chuyi and Ou Jun were also furious with Mr. Liu’s words.

After Fang Caiqin helped Xia Chuyi with her clothes, Ou Jun came to call them down.

The three of them reached the stairwell, just in time to hear Ou ZhenTing and Mr. Liu talking.

Since the tone of Ou ZhenTing’s voice indicated he didn’t intend for Ou Jun to appear, the three of them chose to stay there for the time being.
