Chapter 664 Unfamiliar And Frightening

Ouyang Qing attended a prestigious institution, whereas Ouyang Li was a student at a typicaluniversity of finance and economics. After graduating, she was an average employee at SunshineCorporation, always keeping a low profile and avoiding public scrutiny.

“I'm back, Li. Why are you packing your bags? Are you leaving?” Ouyang Qi asked. “Where's Mom?"Ouyang Li asked. “Isn't she out?”

"Yes, she is, but she remained in Flower City. Dad is missing, and she wants to stay to replace out if theNan family has taken him,” he explained. She didn't say a word and continued packing.

“Where are you going, Li? You can't leave. Our family is falling apart. What will happen to Mom andme if you leave?” Ouyang Qi said.

“Mom and Dad have always favored Ouyang Qing more. Am I only important now during a criticalsituation?” Ouyang Li sneered.

What she said was the truth. In the Ouyang family, Ouyang Qi was incompetent, while Ouyang Lilacked beauty and accomplishments. Thus, their parents preferred Ouyang Qing, who was bothbeautiful and intelligent.

Ouyang Duo was permanently in Flower City, scheming to bring down the Nan family, leavingOuyang Li to manage the affairs in Pearl City. It became the norm for her to handle these matters astime passed.

She didn't utter a single complaint, and Ouyang Qing continued being the belle of the family.Everyone seemed to have forgotten that the Ouyang family had two daughters, only rememberingOuyang Qing

“Li, I know you have made a lot of sacrifices for the family, and Mom and Dad are wrong to treatyou that way, but you can't leave now,” Ouyang Qi advised.

"Why can't I? The Nan family resides in Flower City. How should I seek revenge for our family if Istayed in Pearl City?” Ouyang Li retorted.

“You're going to Flower City? To retaliate against the Nan family?” He was surprised. AlthoughOuyang Li wasn't as inept as him, she was so lackluster that he didn’t think she would wish to exactvengeance.

“Li, I do not wish to speak ill of Dad, but he has done awful things to the Nan family. They didn'teven show mercy to their youngest child and brought this upon themselves. This revenge...”"Whatever he did, he's dead now, and I have to avenge him,” Ouyang Li said casually, which came asa shock to Ouyang Qi. “What did you say? Dad is dead?”

She pointed to a corner in the room. “His ashes are there.”

He rushed over and saw a portrait of Ouyang Duo. There was an urn, incense, and candles in frontof it. “What is going on? Didn't Dad run away? This can't be real. It can't be...” He almost lost it.

“It happened while he was fleeing to the border. His body was returned home by a friend. I had itcremated and brought his ashes home,” she replied.

Ouyang Qi lost his mind and hugged the urn to himself, sobbing loudly. Ouyang Li maintained aneven expression. “Do you still think revenge is unnecessary? Should we let him die in vain?”

His throat constricted with grief, and he passed out from weeping. When he regainedconsciousness, he noticed she was still packing her luggage.

“Shouldn't we have a funeral for Dad?” He couldn't wrap his head around her unemotional behavior.It wasn't even calm anymore, just pure indifference.

"Why should we, when we haven't gotten revenge for him? He failed to carry out his plot and paidwith his life. It's embarrassing if others replace out. Dad is a fugitive now. No one will sympathize withhim or attend his funeral. I have selected a burial plot. We shall bury him after performing a fewmodest rites at his cemetery. He's gone and will never return, no matter how much you cry. Theliving is more important.”

Ouyang Qi was unable to refute Ouyang Li's logic, but he still thought she was being too apathetic."Why didn’t you inform Mom and me about this? Would you have buried Dad without ourknowledge if I hadn't returned?” He was a little disheartened.

"What good would telling you do besides causing more hurt? Would Dad come back to life if youand Mom had known?” Ouyang Li hurled back. “But we're his family..."

“So, why didnt you protect him in Flower City? Why did you allow the Nan family to vanquish him?”Ouyang Qi couldn't answer her.

“Dad's death is the result of his failure as much as your incompetence. Every single one of you isuseless and smug. So quit crying. Why didn't you do something earlier? If crying could solveproblems, then everyone should be hugging themselves and suffering. But does it solve anything?”Ouyang Li asked.

A desolate aura emanated from Ouyang Qi as he realized his sister suddenly seemed unfamiliar andfrightening.

Has she always been this way, and no one noticed it, or did Dad's passing trigger the switch in her?“I think we should tell Mom and postpone the burial until she arrives,” he said. “Do as you wish. I'llleave this to you now that you're back. I have more pressing matters to attend to,” Ouyang Lireplied coldly. “What will you do?”

“I've said it—I will seek revenge for Dad.” “How? By blowing up the Nan residence? Ouyang Qingtried it, and you still want to tear your way in?"

Ouyang Li eyed him, her tone icy. “Don’t compare me with Ouyang Qing. I'm not as stupid as her.”The phone rang as soon as she finished speaking, and she walked away to answer it. After hangingup, she scribbled a phone number on a piece of paper and handed it to him.

“This is the cemetery’s number, and they have also arranged for a priest. Contact them when you'reready for the burial. Leave the ashes if you don't want a burial. They're not going to rot anyway.”Coldness seeped through his bones at her words, devoid of any warmth as if a stranger had passedrather than her biological father.

“I have something to do, so I'm heading out now.” With that, she left, and the sound of the carignition turning on could be heard from outside.

Ouyang Li strode into a clubhouse in Pearl City a few minutes later and saw a stylishly dressedyoung woman

She was beautiful, with big eyes and an oval face. Her features were near perfect, but her expressionwas glacial.

"Are you Ouyang Li?" She raised her head and glanced at her.

“So you're Jin Fei, huh?” Ouyang Li returned.

"Watch your tone,” Jin Fei warned arrogantly.

“I'd like to know how my dad died,” Ouyang Li asked.

"Didn't I tell you that he got into a car accident while escaping to the border? My husband is afriend of your dad's, and we brought his remains home. Are you accusing us of having a hand inyour dad's death with these questions?” Jin Fei came face to face with Ouyang Li and stared herdown.
