Chapter 594: Rumors Do Not Match
"President Ouyang, are you just going to stand by and watch?" Shangguan Wenbin gently nudged Ouyang Yi, smiling as he asked. He had long heard about the affair between Ouyang Yi and Lu Ling.
Originally, he thought that since Lu Ling was taken away and had even asked him for help, Ouyang Yi would say a few words to keep her. But unexpectedly, he remained indifferent, which was quite surprising and didn’t align with the rumors.
Could it be that the rumors aren’t trustworthy, or has some conflict arisen between the two of them?
Thinking about Ouyang Yi’s gift to Jiang Xue today, an unpleasant thought crossed Shangguan Wenbin’s mind: could Ouyang Yi be interested in Jiang Xue?
However, as soon as this idea came up, he dismissed it. Impossible. Absolutely impossible. How could he possibly be interested in his sister? Not to mention that his sister had been married and even had a child.
It must be his overthinking. Yes, that must be it.
Shangguan Wenbin comforted himself, then decided to distance himself from Ouyang Yi, gently stepping back a few steps. Just then, Ouyang Yi’s voice suddenly sounded: "What else?"
"As long as you’re happy!" Shangguan Wenbin replied, then saw Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng heading towards the lake, and said to Ouyang Yi: "Excuse me!"
With that, he strode over to Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng.
"Sis, brother-in-law!" Shangguan Wenbin greeted as he approached, then glanced at the reporters with cameras, and whispered: "You both have to be careful!"
"Hm, don’t worry!" Jiang Xue nodded. Even if Shangguan Wenbin hadn’t mentioned it, they would still be cautious. Jiang Xue didn’t particularly dislike these reporters; after all, she was going into the lake soon.
At this moment, Ouyang Yi also suddenly appeared next to Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng, and said: "Be careful!"
Mu Qiancheng glanced at Ouyang Yi indifferently and then withdrew his gaze.
"I’m about to go down. If there’s nothing else, everyone should leave to avoid any accidents." Jiang Xue reminded.
But those people didn’t listen to her at all; instead of stepping back, they edged closer, wanting to see how Jiang Xue would act as bait.
Seeing that everyone was ignoring her words, Jiang Xue’s expression turned a bit unpleasant. Mu Qiancheng gently squeezed Jiang Xue’s hand and then said to the person in charge: "Mayor Liu, my wife’s words don’t seem to be effective, perhaps you should speak to them. These people shouldn’t stay here to avoid any accidents."
"Alright, I’ll talk to them!" Mayor Liu said this, but he didn’t take any action. Seeing this, there wasn’t much more Mu Qiancheng could say, so he lowered his head and spoke to Jiang Xue.
At this time, at the bottom of the lake, the Water Monster was sleeping. These days, there hadn’t been anyone around, allowing it to rest and recuperate its wounds.
After a few days of effort, the wound had healed but wasn’t completely better, and occasionally it would still ache faintly. When the wound hurt, it couldn’t help but think of those two humans.
If it could, it would really like to tear them apart and eat them without leaving a single bone. The pity was, it couldn’t leave the water and didn’t know where the two lived.
So, it could only nurture hatred in its heart, waiting and hoping for their return someday. However, how long this would take, it did not know.
But no matter how long it took, it was determined to avenge itself.
Just as the Water Monster was sleeping, it suddenly heard some noise, and it slightly opened its eyes, then began to listen intently.
After listening for a while, it fully woke up and then stood up, moving closer to the shore.
