Chapter 723 Differential Treatment
In the banquet hall, Ou Jinghuan's cold words came out of his mouth, each sentence a response to what Ou Junli had said earlier.
He effectively rejected Xiao Yueyue's offer, and once again expressed his love for Li Chuyue in front of others.
At the same time, his particularly blunt words subtly warned Xiao Yueyue not to take advantage of him like a fool.
Xiao Yueyue couldn't bear the intense pressure she felt after meeting Ou Jinghuan's gaze; it was as if a chill was seeping into her bones.
Originally intending to leave, she still held onto the hope that Ou Jinghuan would treat her better after Ou Junli stopped her and spoke up for her.
But Ou Jinghuan's words made her regret not leaving more decisively earlier, so she wouldn't have to listen to his cold words.
Finally, Xiao Yueyue's eyes welled up with tears, and her expression revealed a hint of guilt. She decisively shook off Ou Junli's hand and ran away into the distance.
Ou Junli's hand was forcefully flung away. She didn't react in time and staggered, almost losing her balance.
She watched Xiao Yueyue run away sadly, a worried expression on her face.
Wanting to keep up with Xiao Yueyue, she thought of something, turned to look at Li Chuyue and Xu Zhishan, and finally looked at Ou Jinghuan.
Although Ou Junli did not blame Ou Jinghuan for his poor attitude towards Xiao Yueyue, her expression clearly showed it.
Finally, not expecting things to turn out this badly, she sighed helplessly and said:
"The Xiao family project was given to Hongxin Group, not because of me. We at least received benefits from them, so we should at least give them a smile!"
Besides... Brother, you've known Sister Yueyue longer than I have. Even if Sister Chuyue were here, you shouldn't have ignored her like this...
"Fine! Since Sister Yueyue is my client, I'll take good care of her; it's also for the sake of Hongxin Group!"
At this point, Ou Junli looked at Li Chuyue next to Ou Jinghuan, expressing a desire to be understood, and explained:
"Sister Chuyue, let's talk later. I'm a little worried about Sister Yueyue, so I'm going to go find her."
Upon hearing this, Ou Jinghuan frowned, thinking to himself, "When did I become someone who can tell me whether I smile or not?"
It's true that he's been in a better mood and his temper has improved a lot lately, but that doesn't mean anyone can say anything to him.
Can you give me a smiley face?
Ou Jinghuan felt like he was about to laugh out loud, thinking that he was indeed laughing more often now because of Li Chuyue.
But when has he ever given anyone a kind look? Does the Xiao family think they can make him smile over a small project?
Besides, with so many big projects under his purview every day, he never smiled at those big bosses.
Why should Xiao Yueyue deserve his smile? He just found it funny when he thought about what Ou Junli had said.
At this moment, Ou Jinghuan did indeed laugh, but the laugh carried a hint of hostility. His voice was low as he said:
"Ha... a smile?! It's as if I've ever given any of you a smile before."
"Besides, I'm not familiar with her. Whoever she is, if she makes Chuyue unhappy, she's my enemy..."
Before Ou Jinghuan could finish his warning, Li Chuyue noticed that Ou Junli's expression was gradually turning sad.
She didn't want Ou Jinghuan's relationship with his sisters to sour because of her.
She immediately covered Ou Jinghuan's mouth, which was uttering more and more heartless words, and interrupted him:
"Alright! Junjun, go find Miss Xiao now!"
Also... when your brother and I came here, he ran into someone downstairs who made him angry, and he's not in a good mood right now.
Don't misunderstand, after we find Miss Xiao, we'll comfort her properly.
Oh, and by the way, could you please tell Miss Xiao that we'd like to meet again sometime and get to know each other better?
Before Ou Jinghuan could utter even more heartless words, Li Chuyue explained to Ou Junli the problem with Ou Jinghuan's initial attitude.
At the same time, she also showed that she understood Ou Junli's current situation very well, telling Ou Junli not to worry and to go find Xiao Yueyue.
She even generously expressed her willingness to get to know Xiao Yueyue, who considered her a rival in love, again.
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhishan smiled with satisfaction, her expression even carrying a hint of pride.
She thought to herself that she hadn't misjudged Chu Yue this time; Chu Yue was the best and most suitable sister-in-law for her!
Unlike Xiao Yueyue, who was petty and selfish, he was not like that at all.
She thought to herself that it was a good thing Chu Yue appeared, otherwise she would have thought that her cousin could only be with that woman Xiao Yueyue!
After hearing Li Chuyue's words, Ou Junli was clearly stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat surprised.
However, she quickly realized what was happening, and a faint smile appeared on her lips as she looked at Li Chuyue.
Because she knew that Ou Jinghuan was deliberately ignoring Xiao Yueyue, and those interrupted words were actually a warning to her.
At this point, realizing she had said the wrong thing, Ou Junli didn't say anything more.
She simply nodded slightly to Li Chuyue and Xu Zhishan, then secretly glanced at Ou Jinghuan.
Finally, after giving Ou Jinghuan a deep look at his indifferent expression, she turned and ran in the direction Xiao Yueyue had left.
……
After Ou Junli left, Li Chuyue slowly released her hand from Ou Jinghuan's lips.
She glanced at Ou Jinghuan's expressionless face, lightly touched his slightly cold, thin lips with her index finger, and muttered under her breath:
"Why do you always say hurtful things when you have such beautiful lips?"
As soon as Li Chuyue finished speaking, Ou Jinghuan grabbed Li Chuyue's hand that was lighting the fire.
Suddenly, as if feeling an itch in his teeth, he gently bit Li Chuyue's index finger with his bright, even teeth and whispered:
"Why are you so domineering towards me, yet always so gentle to others?"
"Ouch! That hurts!" Li Chuyue felt a sharp pain in her finger and instinctively cried out.
She quickly withdrew her hand from Ou Jinghuan's and looked down to check if there were any teeth marks from being bitten.
Although she didn't see any clear teeth marks, she still pretended to be angry, patting Ou Jinghuan's chest and rubbing against him, replying:
"You actually bit me! I've been treating Junjun gently, and it's all because of you!"
Besides! When have I ever been domineering towards you?! Don't I still get bullied by you, this domineering CEO, at home?!
Upon hearing this, a wicked smile finally appeared on Ou Jinghuan's previously expressionless face.
He looked up at Xu Zhishan, who was standing to the side like a third wheel, pointed at Li Chuyue's hand that was constantly patting him, and asked:
"Shanshan, you saw her hitting me, right?"
Chu Yue, do you see that you're treating me a little differently from others? It makes me very sad...
Seeing this, Xu Zhishan rolled her eyes, looking like she couldn't bear to watch, and turned her head away as if she hadn't seen anything.
Li Chuyue was surprised that Ou Jinghuan bit her and then acted like a pitiful victim who had been bullied.
She then remembered how Ou Jinghuan had lied to her before, and she immediately stopped hitting him, angrily accusing him:
"I never imagined you were not only a big liar, but also someone who confuses right and wrong!"
