“Ouyang Ya is so outstanding, Dad, why do you want me to choose the second young lady?”
Long Tuo asked in a low voice.
He had seen photos of the two Ouyang family heiresses. Ouyang Ya’s beauty was superior, her temperament aloof, easily igniting his desire to conquer. After just a glance, he was captivated by her.
If it were up to him, Long Tuo would choose Ouyang Ya.
Mr. Long looked at his son, smiled, and said, “You can’t control her, of course. But if you can make her fall for you, it’s not impossible to switch. For now, focus on Ouyang Ting.”
Ouyang Ting was also very beautiful. Unlike Ouyang Ya’s aloofness, she seemed much gentler and smiled often.
“Marrying Ouyang Ting will be a great advantage for you and our Long family.”
Long Tuo thought for a moment, then nodded understandingly, “Dad, I understand.”
With his handsome looks, wealth, sweet talk, and generosity towards women, winning over a sheltered, wealthy heiress would be easy.
The two families were well-matched.
Though his father was currently only the acting head, their family was already very wealthy, and Ouyang Ting was a suitable match for him.
Soon, a bodyguard approached and respectfully said to Mr. Long, “Family Head, President Ouyang says she’s unavailable and cannot meet. She thanks you for your kindness but, as our families have no business dealings, she cannot accept the New Year’s gift you sent.”
Mr. Long insisted on being addressed as Family Head, not acting head, in public.
He was determined to become the true head of the Long family.
He would never allow himself to end up like the head of Jiangcheng’s Feng family.
Decades of hard work building a family and company, only to have it all handed over to others, ending in death, disgraced and cursed posthumously.
After Feng Yue’s death, Mr. Long intensified his efforts, searching everywhere for Long Ting’s whereabouts.
He feared meeting the same fate as Feng Yue.
Upon hearing the response, Mr. Long wasn’t angry.
Being refused a meeting wasn’t new.
The bodyguard added, “President Ouyang said the appointment time hasn’t arrived yet. Until then, she asks that you not disturb her, as she is very busy.”
Mr. Long nodded, saying, “Understood.”
“Take the New Year’s gifts we brought to the security office. Let the guards pass them to President Ouyang. Though our families haven’t collaborated yet, there will be opportunities in the future, and we should maintain contact.”
“It’s normal for friends to exchange small gifts during the holidays, with no ulterior motive. Please ask President Ouyang to accept them.”
“Convey my words to the security team.”
The bodyguards promptly carried the New Year’s gifts to the security office.
The guard immediately made an internal call.
Mr. Long didn’t wait for a reply. He left Qianxun Group with his son and entourage of bodyguards.
As they departed, they crossed paths with Zhan Yuan, but Mr. Long didn’t know he was the sixth young master of the Zhan family. Zhan Yuan, passing by in his car, only later guessed it was Mr. Long.
