C138 Mothers' and Daughters' Union
I didn't say hello to O'Jia Rui and was directly picked up by Mason after work. I felt depressed and wanted to let myself relax a bit to ease my mood.
"I checked the information on that Meng Shuzhen just before I got off from work. My god, she's already so old. What on earth is she thinking? Why does she have to come and disturb your life? The boss would only choose her now, would he?"
I smiled bitterly, "You don't say. It seems like there really are people who have their brains crushed by a door. Ou Jia Rui recently helped Meng Shuzhen a lot, helped her set up a company, and even her purse was stolen. She came to Ou Jia Rui for help."
"What about the boss? Did he just agree to help?" Mason looked even angrier than I did.
"Yeah, her wallet was stolen that day, and it was Ou Jia Rui and I who went to the police station to take her to file with us." When I think about how much O'Jia Rui cared about Meng, I can't help but think back to when we just met.
"Oh yeah Yao Yao, Qin Ling said it's not safe for the two of us to drink alone outside, do you mind if he watches over us? If you do mind, why don't we buy some wine and bring it over to my house for a drink. We'll definitely drink until we're drunk today."
Although I know that the relationship between Qin Ling and Mason Shan is definitely not an outsider to me, but after all, they are separated by a layer, people always want to let them know as little as possible about their failed love life, vanity and self-esteem is the original sin of people, and it is also normal for people.
I am no exception.
"I'm already too embarrassed to bother Teacher Qin, so let's buy some wine to drink at your house. Hahahaha, Teacher Qin, I might have to borrow his girlfriend for the night."
"Hahaha, it's alright. Qin Ling said it's fine as long as the two of us are safe." She turned the car around and headed towards home. Passing by a supermarket, she asked me, "There are still some wine and wine that I bought out from Qin Guan that help me sleep. Do you have any other things to drink? Can I buy some fruit wine for you?"
I knew that Mason was very considerate about my alcohol tolerance, but she wanted to send me a message. I smiled and said, "Alright, just buy a bit. I'm not that good at drinking anyway. I just want to chat with you."
The two of us talked at Mason's house until nearly twelve o'clock. Compared to the Mason who used to drink straight down her throat from a strong foreign wine, the way she's holding a glass of fruit wine or red wine and talking while sipping it again makes me sigh with emotion that love has really changed a lot.
Although it was just fruit wine, it was hard to avoid being a little delirious after drinking too much. I fell asleep while leaning against the edge of the bed, and when I heard the doorbell ring, I thought it was Qin, so I didn't take it to heart. I continued to lean against the headboard, waiting for Mason to open the door.
After drinking a huge amount of wine, there wasn't any difference between drinking it and getting up with a clear mind. After that, I heard a familiar voice.
"How much did she drink? "What's going on?" It was Ou Jia Rui.
It was rare that the normally respectful and friendly Mason suddenly became stiff: "I should ask you this, boss, Xin Yao is a very pure girl. I don't know who this so-called Ms. Meng is, but no matter what, she went to your house a little too much, right? After all, Yao Yao is your legal wife right now."
As if he was truly ashamed of himself, as the president of the Ou Family being criticized by his own employees, the gentle attitude of Ou Jia Rui didn't change at all. "I also didn't expect that the book recruitment would actually go to my house to find Yao Yao. Yao Yao is also a sensitive girl.
Her voice suddenly became louder, "What do you mean there's no such thing as crossing the border? Can it be that you two are actually crossing the border when you see with your own eyes? Boss, your relationship with Meng Shuzhen was originally very sensitive, so the moment she came back, you two often saw each other. No wonder Yao Yao thought too much about it."
Mason was really my good friend, and what she said was the truest thing in my heart.
Yes, I've thought too much about these things, but I don't know if you can understand. For me, the ones who came to me for help today, no matter if it's the faculty members or others, as long as they are old friends of mine, I will definitely help them out. Although I'm not a good person, it's very hard for me to reject others.
Like me, Mason is hard to grasp the authenticity of the words, especially when she only got them with the help of Ou Jia Rui. She couldn't help but believe that Ou Jia Rui was willing to help Meng Shu Ju because the two of them were old acquaintances.
"But you've never thought about Yao Yao's feelings before. I think even if you don't help, I believe that Miss Meng, who has the ability to become a commercial painter under the circumstances of her professionalism, and can marry into a Wealthy Class due to her weak family, will still be able to live a good life in B City." The mockery in Mason's words was self-evident.
Ou Jia Rui was no fool, so she naturally understood the underlying meaning behind this ridicule. It was just that her memories of the past made it difficult for him to cruelly refuse to help Meng Shu Ju.
Of course, these were my own guesses. As for what Ou Jia Rui was thinking, I had no way of knowing.
"In short, thanks for taking care of Yao Yao. I came today to bring her home, but there are some things I still want to explain." Her tone was as gentle as ever, without a trace of anger at Mason's "offending her superiors".
Mason didn't say anything, as if she was trying to decide whether or not to let me go.
I still had a trace of consciousness, but I couldn't open my eyes no matter what. I failed even when I tried to get up while leaning on the carpet. My alcohol tolerance really isn't something I can touch in my entire life.
After a long time, she said, "I believe that this time, I don't want to see Yao Yao sad again. Every time I see her sad, it's either because of that Lady Meng Shufu or Miss Ou Jingyi.
Ou Jia Rui forced a smile and said, "Jingjing is a failure in my education, and the book recruitment is a failure in my emotional processing. It's just that I didn't expect that this failure would end with Yao Yao being injured. I also really feel very sorry."
"Humph, anyone would say something nice. Anyways, I'll tell you this straightforwardly, don't think that you can hurt our Yao Yao's parents just because they aren't here. Also, I'm her family, so I think of her as my sister. If you dare to disappoint her, I don't want this job anymore, so I'll have to ask you for an explanation."
"It's her fortune to have a friend like you." O'Jia Rui sincerely said.
I felt the same way in my heart. Fortunately, I had Mason, which allowed me to see the warmth and hope of life in so many difficult days.
"I feel lucky too."
I was sitting on the soft wool carpet with my back against the big bed. The projector on the wall was still showing the movie, and my state of being was one of complete drunkenness.
"Yaoyao, don't sleep on the ground anymore. I'll take you home, we'll go home." I knew he was holding me. I felt a warm blanket wrap around me, and I knew it was Mason.
I don't remember what happened next. When I woke up in the morning, I was already in the Ou Family's own bed.
When I looked up at the clock on the wall, I saw that it was almost eleven o'clock. If it wasn't for the noise coming from outside the door, I think I could have slept longer.
"Miss, Madam is still sleeping. She and mister returned very late yesterday. Would you like to have a meal first? If you have anything to say, wait for Madam to wake up." The one who spoke was Wang Ma, who had worked in the Ou Family for many years. Like Uncle Lin, she had watched Ou Jia Rui grow up. Everything she said, even Ou Jia Rui would listen to.
Outside the door, Ou Jingyi's voice was exceptionally clear, and it was even tinged with anger, "Wang Ma, you watched me grow up since I was young. This Zhou Xinyao has only been here for a few days, do you think you should speak to her or to me?"
"You and Madam are close friends of Sir." Wang Ma's tone was neither servile nor overbearing, but her tone was no longer as gentle and kind as before. It was clear that she was displeased because of Ou Jingyi's outburst.
"I don't care. Today, I want to have a good look at this so-called Madame Ou. I really want to see who gave her the confidence and guts to be so shameless after occupying the position of Madame Ou for so long." Even through the door, I could see the look of exasperation on her face from the sarcastic tone in her voice.
I think she owed this mother and daughter from her previous life. Recently, the two of them seemed to have gotten together and came over time to make things difficult for me.
I can't bear to see Wang Ma continue to be stuck in a dilemma. In the Mothers' Union, compared to facing a person like Meng Shuzhen, I feel that Ou Jingyi is a bit easier to deal with.
I quickly got off the bed and washed my face. I didn't even have time to tidy up my messy hair before I opened the door.
Wang Ma apologetically said to me, "I'm sorry Madam, I've disturbed your rest. Miss Ou said that she had an urgent matter that she needed your help with, and I did not stop her."
I waved my hand and said, "It's alright, Wang Ma, go busy yourself first."
Ou Jingyi had a proud smile on her face, "Aiyo, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect you to still be awake. Oh yeah, you don't have a job right now, nor are you assigned any academic tasks, so it's quite easy."
I smiled and quickly went back. "Yeah, right now, you are really free. No wonder you are willing to live like this. You don't feel annoyed even after living for a few years straight."
