Chapter 358: The Storm Is Coming

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Recently, Liu Yufei had been prone to having dreams. Whenever she slept, she would dream of a woman, and it was a woman that she felt very familiar with. She was so familiar with her that sometimes she even thought that it was herself.

Only later did she remember that this woman was not someone else. She was actually her half-sister. Previously, she and Pei Li had indeed reached the point of discussing marriage. However, she did not expect that she would be arrested and sentenced to death for sexual bribery and other matters. She was already dead, and she did not expect that she would dream about her.

However, they were sisters, so it was understandable for her to dream about her. However, Liu Yufei felt that this sister gave her a very familiar feeling, so familiar that there were even times when she dreamed about her naked body having sex with another man. Those actions and expressions were exactly the same as her.

She did not know why Liu Yufei could still appear in her mind even though she was already dead. However, as someone who had enjoyed unfair treatment from a young age compared to her, she instinctively felt that she should hate or even dislike her. Those feelings of closeness made her unable to make sense of it. In the end, she could only attribute it to the fact that they were of the same blood.

“Xiaoxiao? Xiaoxiao, are you daydreaming again? Look, what do you think of this dress? I think it’s pretty good. The fabric is excellent. It’s best to prepare it for the child.”

Ouyang Le was picking out the baby’s clothes as she spoke to Liu Yufei. Ouyang Le’s memories were also distorted. Her memory had also gained something that did not belong to her. She did not know when she fell in love with Pei Li. However, from the moment she woke up and saw Pei Li carrying her out of the villa, she knew that she actually loved Pei Li in her heart.

Not only did she love him, but she could also tolerate all of his flaws. This kind of knowledge was even terrifying to her. Since when did she become so affectionate towards Pei Li? However, in her heart, she was indeed able to tolerate other women who wanted to share with her. Not only that, she also felt that Shen Xiaoxiao was not as annoying as before. She even felt that Shen Xiaoxiao was really similar to her younger sister.

Thinking about how pitiful this woman was, she had been kidnapped and sold abroad since she was young and suffered so much. Then, she met someone who was not a good person. Look, she was pregnant, and yet she was abandoned by a man. She felt that this woman’s life was really tough. Moreover, Shen Xiaoxiao was not bad either. She had never competed with her for favor and had always put her first.

She was quite satisfied, especially when Pei Li had told her that he was unable to conceive a child. If the child in Shen Xiaoxiao’s belly was a boy, he would not mind taking it over and raising it himself. With such thoughts in mind, Ouyang Le also felt that this was not bad. That man called Yan Kuan definitely had many women, and he definitely didn’t dare to offend the Ouyang family. Although she had been together with Yan Kuan before, he was just a son of a servant. It wasn’t a big deal.

Especially when she was together with Shen Xiaoxiao, she felt that she and Shen Xiaoxiao were actually fated.

“Sister, have you seen the photo in Brother Li’s wallet? Is Liu Yufei really dead? Why does Brother Li still have her photo?”

Ouyang Le did not expect Shen Xiaoxiao to think about this for a long time. However, when she heard Shen Xiaoxiao’s sour words, she still smiled and said:

“Xiaoxiao, your Brother Li and Liu Yufei grew up together. It is inevitable that they have feelings for each other. Moreover, Liu Yufei has only died for a month. It is normal that your Brother Li will not forget her. You should relax and take care of your stomach. Look at your little face. It has lost a lot of weight recently. Your Brother Li will be heartbroken.”

“Sister, you’re really too much. I’m ignoring you.”

Liu Yufei’s rare shyness made Ouyang Le burst into laughter. If others did not know, they would really think that she was joking with her biological sister. How would they know that these two women were serving the same husband and getting along well?

...

“Father, is the old man’s body really unable to last through the winter?”

The news that Ouyang Jinming brought to Pei Li shocked Pei Li inexplicably. If that was the case, their plan would definitely have to be implemented faster.

“I spent a lot of money to pry it out from the mouth of the family doctor. The eldest son, second son, and third son are already preparing to take action. Li’er, how are the preparations on your side?”

At this moment, Pei Li’s heart was already surging and his heart was inexplicably moved. However, when he heard Ouyang Jinming mention the preparations... He thought for a moment before saying to Ouyang Jinming, “Le’er said that she has already taken over a few of the Ouyang family’s trusted stewards. Even if she doesn’t control one-third of the Ouyang family’s internal affairs, at least one-fourth are controlled. If they really want to cause a ruckus, we don’t have to be afraid of anything. However, it would be best if we can reap the benefits first.”

“Moreover, we don’t have much involvement in the businesses outside. A few of the officials in the border region have some connections with us, but they are still unstable. Therefore, our best opportunity to attack is to take advantage of them. Wait until the few houses are almost done fighting before attacking.”

Ouyang Jinming listened to Pei Li’s analysis and thought for a while before saying, “It’s easy to talk about things outside. They don’t care who the family head is. They only listen to the family head token. Whoever gets the token will be the next successor.”

“However, I’m worried about the big house. That lady is definitely not a simple beauty. The modern version of Wu Zetian is not an exaggeration. Your uncle is just an empty shell. On the other hand, your aunt is a heroine among women... Her attacks are much more vicious than the average man.”

Pei Li smiled faintly when he heard Ouyang Jinming’s words. He said mysteriously, “I’m afraid Father doesn’t know yet. Eldest Aunt is preparing to marry off Eldest Cousin. This person is the young lady of the Liu family.”

“Liu family? Is it the one that the Old Master has prepared?”

“No, it’s the other twin sister of the Liu family. The Old Master doesn’t intend to let the woman that he has prepared to give to Eldest Cousin. Such an obvious method is clearly to deprive Eldest Cousin of his right to inherit. Eldest Cousin has already made preparations to replace the peach blossom tree with the plum blossom tree. When that time comes, the woman that Eldest Cousin is going to marry might even be beyond our imagination.”.

“The most important thing is that Eldest Cousin has the support of Eldest Uncle, but Eldest Aunt might not like the position of Eldest Cousin being the successor. Her precious treasure is this one.”

Pei Li made a three. Ouyang Jinming instantly understood. He did not expect the big house to start the internal strife so early. However, Pei Li’s news came just in time. It seemed that it was a good choice to bring Ouyang Le under his wing.

“It seems that your body is better now. A smart woman like Ouyang Le is willing to work for you. Li’er, don’t let me down. All I want in my life is to not be seen clearly and not be bullied. When you become the head of the family, Father will live a peaceful life for the rest of his life.”

Ouyang Jinming was very smart. He told Pei Li in advance that he would never fight for power with him. He just wanted to live a peaceful life and enjoy all the glory and wealth. Pei Li instantly understood.. The father and son smiled alike, and everything was said without words.
