C59 Fissure

It wasn't that I was a pampered person, but that I had to deal with the small wound on my hand. Actually, I was just curious about Qian Xue's identity and why she was able to save me.

If she was a competitor of the Ou Family, then she had already been discovered. There was no need to curry favor with me anymore, because no matter what, as Ou Jia Rui's wife, I would never be able to make her return to the Ou Family.

Furthermore, it was she who took the initiative to ask for leave. These doubts lingered in my mind, urging me to follow in Qian Xue's footsteps.

Qian Xue brought me to the fork in the road where the motorcycle suddenly rushed out and said, "Let's walk a little bit in front, my car is parked in front. I'll find a hospital to treat your wounds first, can I take you home?"

I nodded and said nothing.

Walking into Qian Xue's car, he saw that it was a white car at an even price. It was very consistent with the feeling he got from her. Her steps were steady and she didn't like to steal the limelight.

As we got into the car, Qianxue took a packet of wet tissue towels and carefully wiped the dirt, bark, and fine grains of sand from around the wound before starting the car.

Qian Xue's driving skills were not bad. When I met her before, she was rarely this smooth.

I thought about it for a long time before I finally couldn't help it.

"How did you know I was here, and how did you happen to be here to save me?"

Qian Xue calmly said, "I was busy here, so I came back a little late. I happened to see a rich second generation flirting with a woman. I didn't know it was you. I wanted to observe the situation before helping, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Because of Qian Xue's natural impression of me, of being dependable and introverted, and because of the magnanimity on her face when she said those words at the moment, I almost did not hesitate to believe her.

"Then can you tell me who you are?" You didn't expect her to tell me the answer.

Sure enough, Qian Xue paused for a moment. "It's inconvenient, or it could be said that I won't tell you my identity for now, but I can assure you that you will find out sooner or later. Moreover, this time isn't the time when we will meet again as I told you last time. This time's incident was just an accident."

"Oh, so it's like that." I didn't want to ask any more questions. As a friend of Qian Xue's, I turned on the music in her car without restraint. Unexpectedly, the two of us had a similar taste when listening to music.

All of a sudden, the awkwardness that was brought to both of us by what happened earlier was greatly reduced. Qian Xue and I were both softly humming the song we were playing. At this moment, I temporarily forgot about the unpleasantness that Ou Jia Rui's visit to see Ou Jingyi brought me.

When I arrived at the hospital, I bandaged myself up, and Qian Xue took me back to the Ou family.

When we were less than a hundred meters away from the Ou Family villa, I told her, "Put me down right here. If Ou Jia Rui also returns, I won't be able to say anything when I see you."

Qian Xue didn't insist. "Then you should be fine when you get home from here. Pay attention to your safety."

"Alright." I unbuckled my seat belt and took out my wallet. I insisted on giving her the money from my phone, but Qian Xue kept pushing it away until I finally said, "You don't have to compensate me. Just treat me to a meal the next time we meet."

Seeing her so insistent, he had to give up.

"Then I'll be going. Goodbye."

"Yes, see you." I watched as Qianxue drove the car away.

As the villa got closer and closer, the familiar feeling of depression and uneasiness from the day swept over me once more, and my steps became heavier as I walked back.

When we reached the Ou family's residence, the butler warmly greeted me, "Madam, you've returned. Is Director Ou not coming back with you? It's already so late."

I pursed my lips and thought about it for a long time. Finally, I told him, "Well, there's something that's been delayed by Ojaru. Miss Ou is sick. He might be a bit late today, or he might not be coming back."

I went up the stairs and took a hot bath. After a day of exhaustion and fear, I prepared to lie down on my bed and have a good night's sleep.

After electrifying the phone, I thought there would be some unanswered or unread messages from O'Jia Rui, but I couldn't hide my disappointment. I buried my head in my pillow and let my thoughts run wild.

It was after twelve o'clock.

I didn't think O'Jia Rui would come back. I lay on the bed and counted the sheep.

It was only when I heard the sound of the car's engine downstairs that I turned on the bedside light.

"A little insomnia." I didn't beat around the bush anymore and directly asked Ou Jia Rui, "Why didn't you pick up the phone when I called today?"

"You called me?" Ou Jia Rui took out her phone and checked it, then scratched her head in annoyance, "Lin Qian and Jingjing quarreled today, Lin Qian's parents really can't stand seeing Jingjing being so tyrannical. They even called my mom, so I went to see what's going on."

I didn't really believe what Ou Jia Rui had said, but on the surface, I didn't show any expression.

As if sensing my suspicion, Ou Jia Rui added on: "I'll apologize to the uncle and aunt of the Lin family first, then I'll bring Jingjing and Lin Qian to my own villa to persuade them for a long time. "Oh, by the way, what did you call me for?"

I adjusted my sitting posture before lying back down and covering myself with my blanket. "It's nothing. I just don't feel like there's any point in asking if you've finished your work. You don't need to explain to me where you went." The chill in my voice was palpable.

I can lie and hide the fact that I was saved by Qian Xue after encountering danger. I'm afraid that Qian Xue's identity will arouse Ou Jia Rui's suspicions.

With keen eyes, Ojarui noticed the wound on my hand as I covered myself with the quilt. Although there were signs of healing after the disinfection, I was still amazed at my healing ability. For example, the last time he was beaten to a pulp by his grandfather and uncles, it didn't take him long to recover completely. Only a faint scar was left behind, and one wouldn't be able to notice it unless one looked closely.

"What happened to your hand?"

"It's nothing. I didn't have any heart to rub it in today. I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep first. " I closed my eyes and turned around. Although I wasn't sleepy, I didn't want to continue the conversation with Ojairi. I kept having the feeling that our relationship had undergone some subtle changes since the day we met in the hospital.

But there's nothing I can do about these changes.

Ou Jia Rui could see that I no longer wanted to continue the conversation with him, so she tactfully stopped pursuing the matter. It was just like how I clearly knew that Ou Jia Rui's matter was definitely not as simple as she said it was, but he wanted to hide it from me, so I pretended to believe what she said.

We were all adults, and everyone had a secret in their heart. No one would be unhappy if they were sensible, I told myself over and over again, as if I thought this way, and wouldn't be sad or unhappy that Ojairi didn't pay attention to me for a few days in a row to see her.

She took a shower and lay down next to me, but she didn't quietly put her arms around me like she did when I was asleep.

I sensed that Ojira also had her own thoughts.

The two of them lay on the bed, each with their own thoughts. They didn't sleep at all, and when it was about two or three o'clock, Ou Jia Rui's phone suddenly rang. It was the sound of a message.

The light from my cell phone shone on the wall above my head, but I didn't press the button. It was probably Ojira replying to my message.

Who would be the one to send the message to Ou Jia Rui in the middle of the night? The crucial point was, Ou Jia Rui actually replied seriously.

The Ou Family's employees were always very good at doing things. It was impossible for them to be in contact with Ou Jia Rui because of work matters at such a late hour. Therefore, it was obvious who this person was.

Thinking of this, my heart felt a little irritated, but I still remained silent in the darkness.

I don't know how much time passed before I drifted off to sleep. When I woke up the next day to put on my makeup, I found that my eyes were so dark that I had used up almost half of my concealment.

After silently eating breakfast with Ou Jia Rui, they once again sat in Ou Jia Rui's car and quietly went to work.

Seemingly sensing that something was wrong with me and feeling that it was impossible for us to continue like this, Ou Jia Rui was the first to break the silence. "Did you go to the celebration party alone yesterday?"

"He can't be considered to be going alone. When I was taking a taxi, I coincidentally bumped into the manager of the Finance Department, so I was sent there together with him."

"Then what happened?"

"Nothing happened. The atmosphere here is quite good. President Wang, Li, and CEO Lu, who had worked with the Eu family, recognized me and wanted me to greet you in their place." I answered the question absent-mindedly, looking as if I hadn't slept at all. Of course, I really hadn't had enough sleep today.

Ou Jia Rui continued to ask, "Then no matter what, you don't seem very happy. Don't think too much about it. Jingjing's not in good health recently, so I specifically ran over yesterday to resolve the conflict between them. I'm very sorry about the cancellation of their engagement."

I looked down at my fingers on my lap. "No, I just didn't sleep well yesterday and didn't have much energy. I didn't think much of it. You don't have to care."

"Then does your hand still hurt? You must be careful when you do things in the future.

The care that Ou Jia Rui was giving at this moment wasn't much different from before. It was just that the current me didn't feel that I was familiar with the place.

"Fortunately, it's already scarred."

Along the way, I chatted with O'Jia Rui. On the surface, the two of us seemed to have settled yesterday's unpleasantness and peace.

It was just that we both knew that a crack had appeared in our relationship due to the change in our relationship due to Ou Jingyi. Although it was not obvious, it had really happened before.

What I didn't know was that the changes that Ou Jingyi had brought to my peaceful life were far more than what they were now.
