As the number of questions grew, Ou Jinghuan spoke up to answer them.

But Ou Jinghuan's words left even more people stunned, especially Ou Dehui and Ye Yingran.

Xie Ruxue and Ye Yanzhi, who were standing in front of the crowd, thought that the counterfeit items they had given would not be discovered.

Ou Jinghuan's words startled them, and their faces showed panic.

They never expected that the gift Li Chuyue and Ou Jinghuan gave them was the same purple clay teapot that Ou Dehui had asked them to buy.

Ruined!

Xie Ruxue and Ye Yanzhi looked at each other, a sense of despair welling up inside them. Both of them wondered if it was too late to escape.

Finally, knowing they had no way out, they could only pray that the one Li Chuyue bought was also a fake...

At this moment, seeing everyone's reaction, Li Chuyue finally understood Ou Jinghuan's true intention.

She looked at Ou Jinghuan, who was tricking her second uncle, and seemed to be in a good mood.

However, as she listened to everyone's doubts about the authenticity of the gift, she wondered if the gift was given by Ou Jinghuan himself, and not by her.

Wouldn't that be better? At least if it was a gift from Ou Jinghuan, no one would doubt its authenticity.

Although Li Chuyue was also somewhat puzzled, she saw that Ou Jinghuan was in a good mood when he was playing pranks on people, so she was naturally willing to cooperate with him.

At this moment, Ou Dehui snapped out of his daze and his gaze fell on the purple clay teapot in the gift box on the table.

He looked at it closely, and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed, and the more uneasy he felt.

But he hadn't actually looked closely at the gifts he gave, and even if he had, he wouldn't have been able to tell if the two were real.

Ou Dehui didn't want to believe that what he gave his father was fake, but seeing the confident expressions on Ou Jinghuan and Li Chuyue's faces, he felt uneasy.

He turned to look at Ye Yingran standing next to him, wanting to confirm the situation, but saw that Ye Yingran looked just as confused as he did.

After exchanging a glance, Ou Dehui and Ye Yingran suddenly thought of the family that always gave them a headache, and they immediately sensed something was wrong.

They both turned to look at Xie Ruxue and Ye Yanzhi, who were standing not far away, looking panicked.

Seeing Xie Ruxue and Ye Yanzhi's extremely poor expressions, their unease instantly turned into despair.

When Xie Ruxue and Ye Yanzhi saw Ou Dechu and Ye Yingran looking at them, they trembled.

Under the increasingly angry gazes of Ou Dehui and Ye Yingran, they forced a smile while trying to appear calm.

At this moment, seeing Xie Ruxue and Ye Yanzhi's frightened expressions, Ou Dehui and Ye Yingran were so angry that they wanted to curse them out.

Ye Yingran felt extremely embarrassed that someone had bought her a fake one.

She was utterly disappointed in her sister's family. She closed her eyes tightly, trying not to look at the two people who were driving her crazy.

At this point, although Ou Dehui was certain that the Zisha teapot Ye Yanzhi had bought was fake, he knew he absolutely could not admit that he had bought a counterfeit.

He, who usually had a smile on his face, first feigned surprise, then pretended to be angry, and said:

"How could that be?! Master Jiang Zhu's most expensive work, that's the only one I have. I've already given it to my father, how could it be..."

"Ou Jinghuan, you're not saying... your girlfriend gave your father the real thing, but the one I gave him was fake, are you?"

Upon hearing this, the people around started discussing it, and everyone remained skeptical about the purple clay teapot that Li Chuyue had bought.

After all, Ou Dehui is the head of the Ou family, one of the four major families, and he has money and resources.

Moreover, in many people's eyes, Ou Dehui has always been a very approachable person, a filial son, a good younger brother, and a good elder.

Therefore, when Ou Dehui, who is considered to have a good temper and good character in the eyes of others, gets angry, everyone would think that he would never give counterfeit goods to his biological father.

In everyone's eyes, even though Li Chuyue is the vice president of Honglan Group, she is still just a female college student.

They felt that Li Chuyue was inexperienced and most likely to have bought counterfeit goods.

Given that they knew very little about Li Chuyue, they suspected that she might have bought counterfeit goods without realizing it.

At this point, people began to think that Li Chuyue had bought counterfeit goods because of Ou Dehui's reaction and words.

Some people were skeptical about Li Chuyue's chances of joining the Ou family; some even suspected she had ulterior motives, and they gossiped:

"Just as I suspected! I knew from the start that beneath Ou Shao's seductive exterior lay a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

"Exactly! I was wondering how a college student could be so rich. Even if he was a vice president, it would be strange for him to spend tens of millions on gifts. Turns out it was all a lie!"

"Even if she's a vice president, do you think she could embezzle company funds to buy birthday gifts? Hahaha!"

"However... this is the first time I've ever seen someone try to climb the social ladder by buying counterfeit goods. Mr. Ou's girlfriend really underestimates the four major families!"

Many people started offering hindsight advice, mocking Li Chuyue for thinking she could marry into the wealthiest family by delivering counterfeit goods.

Hearing what everyone said, Li Chuyue was not angry; her expression remained calm, and she showed no intention of explaining.

Because she believed that everything Ou Jinghuan did would ultimately not harm her.

Li Chuyue wasn't angry, but Ou Jinghuan, who had long anticipated some of these things, couldn't help himself.

His original plan was to let the discussion continue for a while longer, but he discovered a flaw in his plan.

That is, he couldn't stand people saying anything bad about Li Chuyue, which made him very angry and regretful.

At this moment, Li Chuyue quickly noticed the growing anger beneath Ou Jinghuan's expressionless face.

She immediately grasped Ou Jinghuan's tightly clenched fist and whispered comfortingly:

"I'm fine, I believe you!"

Ou Jinghuan looked down at Li Chuyue's understanding expression and smiled faintly, but in his heart he wished he was the one being talked about.

Finally, he couldn't stand everyone criticizing Li Chuyue. He swept his sharp eyes around and warned everyone to watch their mouths.

Seeing this, many people were so frightened that they shut their mouths, but in their hearts they still regarded Li Chuyue as a shameless woman.

Ou Jinghuan knew what everyone was thinking, so he looked coldly at Ou Dehui and took the initiative to suggest:

"Really? Second Uncle, are you saying that Huanxing Mall can make mistakes with its own sources of goods?"

Second Uncle, stop talking nonsense and bring up what you sent, dare you?

Upon hearing this, Ou Dehui thought to himself that Ou Jinghuan was deliberately trying to embarrass him at the old man's birthday banquet!

"..." Ou Dehui was at a loss for what to do. He lowered his head and remained silent, as if he was considering something.

Finally, he put on a smiling face again, speaking politely and magnanimously, and said:

"Pshaw! Forget it, forget it~ Let's just say Jinghuan, what if your girlfriend really gave it to you!"

After all, this is Miss Chuyue's first visit to the Ou family, and today is Father's birthday banquet. We don't need to make things so ugly, do we?

As Ou Dehui finished speaking, a pleading look appeared in his eyes when he looked at Ou Jinghuan.
