Chapter 272: Directly Hit Back!
Although Elder Master Ouyang is already in his nineties, his voice is still strong.
However, judging from his walking posture, his physical condition is not as good as his voice suggests.
Seeing his grandfather coming over, Ouyang Lei finally snapped out of his daze.
He hurriedly stood up to help the elder sit down:
"Grandpa, why did you come over?"
Seeing this, Xiao Yi stood up out of courtesy and respect for the elder who had dedicated his life to Huaxia, nodded and greeted the elder:
"Grandpa Ouyang."
The elder, hearing his grandson's words, gave him a disapproving glare:
"What's the matter? Am I, an old man, not allowed to come over?"
After saying that, he stopped paying attention to his grandson and turned to scrutinize Xiao Yi up and down.
After a long while, he nodded in satisfaction:
"To be so young and create a high-tech enterprise like Zao He Group, that's truly impressive."
Standing beside him, although under the scrutiny of Elder Master Ouyang, a once powerful figure, Xiao Yi showed not the slightest bit of intimidation.
After all, being a super talented person with a special system, he's capable of handling such situations.
What Xiao Yi didn't expect was that even the elder was aware of his Zao He Group.
However, considering the virtual reality technology he provided to Huaxia for free and the plan with Ouyang Lei, he wasn't surprised.
"Grandpa Ouyang, you flatter me. I'm only doing what any Huaxia citizen should be doing within their means."
Upon hearing this, the elder's usually expressionless face showed a rare slight smile at the corners of his mouth.
He extended his hand and gently patted Xiao Yi's shoulder:
"Well said, never forget that we are descendants of Yan Huang! Xiao Yi, you're quite excellent. I already know about you and Xiao Ying's matters. Find a time for your parents to come over for a meal together."
What kind of person is the elder? Saying such words already signifies his approval of Xiao Yi as his grandson-in-law.
Inviting Xiao Yi's parents over for a meal is essentially to discuss the marriage between the two of them.
However, upon hearing this, Xiao Yi was taken aback. He looked over to see Ouyang Lei with a peculiar and constipated expression, and immediately understood.
This guy really is a big mouth, making it known to everyone so quickly?
Isn't this going to ruin my reputation!
However, I can't take the blame for this!
Thinking this, Xiao Yi immediately looked into the elder's eyes and directly said:
"Grandpa Ouyang, you might have misunderstood something. There's nothing between Ouyang Ying and me, and I already have a girlfriend.
Earlier, Brother Lei might have misunderstood; I told him that my girlfriend is pregnant."
After saying that, the elder's slight smile instantly froze.
He turned to stare directly into Xiao Yi's eyes.
Faced with this, Xiao Yi didn't back down, and continued to explain:
"Grandpa Ouyang, my girlfriend and I might be getting married in a few months, and we'll definitely bring you wedding candies then."
Bam!
As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, the elder slammed the table.
However, he didn't get angry at Xiao Yi. Instead, he looked at Ouyang Lei and said calmly:
"Give me an explanation."
The health doctor on the side quickly came over to console him when they saw the elder get angry, but the elder, being strong-willed all his life, wouldn't listen to the doctor's advice.
He waved the doctor away and stared intently at Ouyang Lei.
Terrified, Ouyang Lei shivered and stammered, failing to provide an explanation.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi couldn't stand it anymore and quickly said:
"Grandpa Ouyang, we can't blame Brother Lei entirely, maybe..."
But this time, before Xiao Yi could finish, the elder interrupted harshly:
"Of course I know it's not entirely his fault! Now I'm asking you, do you like my granddaughter or not!"
After hearing Xiao Yi's words, Elder Master Ouyang turned to Xiao Yi, and in an instant, an overwhelming authority weighed down on Xiao Yi.
It seemed like if Xiao Yi dared to say no, he would be torn apart by the elder's gaze.
Unlike before, under this invisible pressure, even with his special system, Xiao Yi found it hard to withstand.
For a moment, Xiao Yi didn't dare to meet the elder's gaze.
However, faced with such pressure, Xiao Yi's stubbornness kicked in.
He took a deep breath, raised his head to meet the elder's sharp eyes, and, under everyone's shocked gaze, firmly declared three words:
"Don't like!"
Yet the simple words "don't like" instantly ignited the fuse of a powder keg.
When had Elder Master Ouyang, who had been strong all his life, ever been contradicted by a junior like this?
Now, not only was he refuted by Xiao Yi, but...
