C150 Inter- and Exogenous

The last few days with Madame Ou had been more peaceful than ever, perhaps because she knew I was leaving, and when Madame Ou faced me, she no longer felt the usual disgust and contempt.

Madame Ou's daily life was very simple. It was like shopping for the mahjong to make her beauty. After Ou family became the true rulers of the Ou family, the Ou family began to live in seclusion and stayed in the villas at home. As a result, Madame Ou didn't have any social circle in the city.

After Ou Jia Rui went out everyday, I and Mrs. Ou basically just stared at each other in the huge villa. Speaking of it, it was quite a coincidence, the previously lively Meng Shuzhen recently stopped a lot after Mrs. Ou came to B City. It's been a long time since I've had a hard time at Ou Family villa.

As the injuries on my arm recovered day by day, Madame Ou and I's plans were becoming more and more perfect. Zhao Yuhao had even found a small studio for me, allowing me to run my own business.

Naive, I also thought that Ou Jia Rui had never noticed my abnormality from the beginning to the end.

"Mom, Yaoyao, today I'm going for a trip, it's quite far. Even if I fly back today, I probably won't be back until late at night, so don't wait for me for lunch." The three of us ate breakfast in silence. Just as Mrs. Ou and I were about to go back to our own rooms to do our own things, Ou Jia Rui suddenly said.

"Alright, remember to eat by yourself. Don't not eat just because you're busy at work. You can't be too lazy." Madame Ou chattered on for a long time, and Ou Jia Rui nodded and remembered everything. The close relationship between mother and son really made me, a subordinate's parent, unable to accompany my mother by my side, envious.

Ou Jia Rui said, "Alright, I got it. I'm going to Shanghai this time, do you two have any presents you want, if not, I'll just bring them as you like. Mom, how about Burberry's Autumn Restricted Scarf? It's only available at the flagship store in Shanghai right now, I'll get Xuanzi to buy one for you." He was very good at entertaining Madame Ou.

If it wasn't for Meng Shuzhen and me, Ou Jia Rui could be considered a perfect obedient son.

Madame Ou was still grinning from ear to ear. "Thank you, son. Since you're so filial, mother will have no choice but to accept you."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Ou Jia Rui shifted her gaze to me and looked at me inquiringly, "Yao Yao, what do you want? I think you like to wear a windbreaker in the winter. I'll buy you a few new models for the winter."

I quickly waved my hand to reject Ou Jia Rui. "No need, no need. I already have enough clothes, no need to bring me any presents. I don't have anything I want. You just have to be at ease while you travel."

After I said this, neither Ojarry nor Mrs. Ou said anything. Mrs. Ou only gave me a meaningful look.

After Ou Jia Rui left, I quickly turned around and went upstairs. "Jia Rui is on a business trip today. Are you still not planning to leave? Or are you saying that you're preparing to leave Jia Rui, is that for me?" Madame Ou's voice sounded from behind him.

I straightened my back and replied without looking back, "So you see, I was just about to head back to my room to pack my things. Also, Madam, I advise you not to speak so loudly. Otherwise, if others hear about it, our plans will be ruined."

Mrs. Ou reacted and looked around warily. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw that the servants were all busy cleaning the house, cleaning the garden, or preparing lunch.

Although she was already a middle-aged woman, Madam Ou's movements were very nimble. She quickly walked forward and whispered into my ear, "It's best if we leave after lunch. Otherwise, if the two of us suddenly go out early in the morning, it'll definitely make the servants worry that we might tell Jia Rui."

I nodded. "What you say makes sense. Let's leave this afternoon."

When I returned to my room, I found that my luggage was very heavy. Just my clothes alone were far more than just a suitcase. However, since I wanted to leave without so much as a sound, I definitely couldn't bring so many things with me.

I decided to only bring things that belonged to me. Those expensive jewelry, custom-made big-name clothing, and various cosmetics were all bought by Ou Jia Rui. What really belonged to me were a few books and a few brushes.

With that in mind, there was no longer any need to pack. I just sat quietly by the window, enjoying my last moments at the Ou Family.

The phone's vibrations broke this rare moment of silence. It was actually Ou Jia Rui's message. It wasn't much to talk about and there was nothing important to talk about. It was just a short sentence:

"Be good and wait for me at home. I'll bring you a present."

I suddenly had a thump in my heart, thinking that Ou Jia Rui might have known something from what he had said, but after thinking for a while, I realized that there were only two people in my plan, Madame Ou and Zhao Yuhao.

I strongly and calmly replied to Ou Jia Rui's message: "En, alright."

After tidying up everything, I sent Zhao Yuhao a message and briefly explained the current situation.

"Give me your seat after you leave the Ou Family. I'll come pick you up." I have nothing to worry about.

After having lunch with Mrs Ou, she suddenly took my arm in front of the servant at home and said, "I want to go shopping in the afternoon. Cen Yao, come with me. We can even make a beauty suit together in the evening. You look at yourself cooped up at home every day. How can a young girl be like you?"

I nodded in understanding. "Oh, okay, when we leave, wait for me to change my clothes."

I walked into the room and took out the backpack that I had prepared earlier. The chauffeur that my housekeeper, Uncle Lin, had arranged for me was already waiting at the door. Madame Ou gave me the name of a shopping mall and asked the chauffeur to drive.

"I'm guessing that Cen Yao and I will only come home late. You should go home first, I'll call you when we get back. You come pick us up and pick us up." Mrs. Ou ordered.

The driver was a meticulous person. "But, Madam, the young madam's injury hasn't healed …"

"Don't worry, I can take care of my own daughter-in-law, how can I not? Just come over and pick us up later." Madame Ou's words were very natural, and no one doubted her words. If it wasn't for the fact that the two of us were at odds, I would have believed her words.

"Alright." There was no need for the driver to disobey Madame Ou.

"Madam, thank you. I'll see you later then." Watching the car drive away, I nodded politely to Mrs. Ou to thank her. She rolled her eyes, "No need to thank me. As long as you don't come back, you're the best person to thank me. I hope we won't meet again."

I smiled but didn't say anything. I turned around and left, looking for a café in the shopping mall to wait for Zhao Yuhao to come pick me up.

In less than half an hour, I was already sitting in Zhao Yuhao's car.

"You came so fast, I still haven't decided where I'm going. Do you want to find a hotel and put me down first? I'll stay for the night first, then I'll go there tomorrow." Sitting in the passenger seat of Zhao Yuhao, I said very easily.

Zhao Yuhao thought about the matter thoroughly. "You went out to find a hotel to sleep for the night? Say, when Ou Jia Rui comes back from her business trip tonight and finds out that you're no longer here, will she look for you? "

"Right." I realized that things weren't as simple as I thought. Although I was already out of the Ou Family's gate, it was still a bit difficult to really leave Ou Jia Rui's side. "Then what should I do? Why don't you send me to my good friend's house? I've had one night at her house."

"Are you talking about your good friend who was a designer at Ou Family? Does Ou Jia Rui know the address of her house?" Zhao Yuhao raised his eyebrows, looking very relaxed.

With a painful expression, I covered my forehead. "Heavens, what should I do? Am I going to live on the streets or flee for my life?"

"How about …" Zhao Yuhao had a mischievous smile on his face, "Why don't you go to my house for the night? Our family has quite a few rooms and is quite far from the Ou Family. Even if Ou Jia Rui finds out that you left, she still wouldn't be able to break into my house to capture you, right?"

I raised my uninjured hand and mercilessly hammered Zhao Yuhao. "Shut up, you're dreaming."

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. I'll take you to the company first, I still have some matters to take care of. After I'm done, I'll help you find a place that Ou Jia Rui can't find, okay?"

"That's more like it." The smile gradually emerged on my face, and I forcefully suppressed the reluctance in my heart towards Ou Jia Rui.

What else is there to be reluctant about? Ou Jia Rui would probably be more than enough with Meng Scholar. I am the most unnecessary one.

When I followed Zhao Yuhao to the top floor of the Zhao family, Qian Xue was waiting quietly in the CEO's office. When she saw me and Zhao Yuhao appear together, she revealed a surprised expression, but it was immediately concealed by herself.

Ever since I broke through the previous incident, Qian Xue would still feel a little awkward when she saw me.

"Hello, Miss Zhou." Qian Xue lowered her head to greet me, and I replied a little awkwardly.

"Take a seat. Qian Te can help you report your work now." Zhao Yuhao sat in front of his desk, and immediately changed from the young man who was joking with me just now to that rather imposing CEO.

I listlessly listened to Qian Xue's report from the side. Since Zhao Yuhao didn't even have the intention to tell me to evade, which meant that it shouldn't be an especially important trade secret, I instead suggested to evade it. Instead, it seemed pretentious, so I simply sat on the side and read the book that I brought along with me.

The moment Qian Xue started reporting, I felt like I had underestimated her ability. Although she had been outstanding when she was at the Ou Family, she was not worth mentioning compared to the current her. Obviously, Qian Xue had been suppressing her talent when she was at the Ou Family.
