C65 Lin Qian's Entanglement
For the rest of the week, I spent every day trying to pick out gifts for Mrs. Ou, using the company's computer when I went to work, using my own tablet when I left work, browsing through hundreds of luxury websites, and even Ou Jia Rui started protesting at me.
"Zhou Xinyao, I just want you to help me pick out a few gifts. Aren't you exaggerating too much? Be careful of the radiation." He snatched the tablet away from me and forced my head up, forcing me to be afraid to watch TV with him.
"Hello, CEO Ou. I'm helping you with your filial piety. Tell me, will Madame Ou like this necklace?" I retrieved the computer again and pointed to the pink pearl necklace on the screen. It was elegant and elegant.
Although I know that for a lady like her, there must be a mountain of jewelry and things like that, but any woman would find it hard to refuse such a beautiful necklace. The price of the column of more than 0 almost made me dizzy.
Ou Jia Rui studied it for a while and purposely said, "I don't think it's suitable for my mom. Although she looks quite young, she's still in her fifties. This color is too young."
"So it's like that." I felt that there was a point in what O'Jia Rui had said, so I removed the necklace from my favorites.
"Wait a moment." O'Sarie hit me on the shoulder with a long arm, took the laptop from the other side, tapped it a few times on the screen, and ordered the necklace. He paid for it with his own account.
"Why? Didn't you say your mother wouldn't like it?"
"I suddenly feel that this necklace is very suitable for a little girl like you." However, I, who had already seen the price, refused to accept it no matter what.
"I don't want it. I don't like wearing jewelry. Hurry up and cancel it." I stomped my feet as O'Jia Rui used his height advantage to lift the computer above my head.
"Good boy." Ou Jia Rui pinched my meatless cheek and said, "Although my mother's birthday is an internal matter of our family, but at that time, there will definitely be a few famous people from all walks of life. You also need a few decent jewelry boxes of clothes, you're just trying to earn some face for me."
There was no way for me to refuse Ocari's suggestion, so I had to give up.
Although the Ou Family's headquarters was located in B City and Ou Jia Rui also lived here, perhaps it was to avoid the media, or perhaps they were too confident that Ou Jia Rui could control the Ou Family. The two elders of the Ou Family didn't live here, but chose to live in a city with more developed tourism.
The weekend was about to arrive. Although it was just a birthday banquet, the Ou Family placed more importance on this matter than even Ou Jingyi's wedding.
Early in the morning, just as the sky was beginning to brighten, I was awoken from my sleep by O'Jia Rui. Drowsy, I was handed over to a team of stylists who had been waiting at the Ou house since five o'clock.
The stylist's efficiency was very high. After an hour, he painted me with a very exquisite makeup. Even his hair fit perfectly with my current status as Mrs. Ojarui, giving me an exquisite and elegant bun. The pink and white one-piece dress that O'Jia Rui had bought at the mall a few days ago had also been changed into with the help of a stylist.
Paired with the pink necklace, the stylist had a special craftsmanship for me painted a little pink blush on my cheeks, his entire being was both noble and witty.
Standing in front of the mirror and looking at my reflection, I was still a little dazed.
"Ou Jia Rui, didn't you just say that you're going to celebrate Madam's birthday? Why do I feel like we're married again?" I joked, looking at the white and pink suit on the side. The edges and the sharpness of the real person's body were obscured by the girl's romantic colors, making them look sunny and gentle.
"Haha, my mother is a person who strives for quality of life. If we dress up to celebrate her birthday, I'm afraid she will criticize us." Behind me, O'Jia Rui stood smiling very nicely.
Since the Ou Family's hometown wasn't in B City, it wasn't too far off either. By the time I left for the birthday celebration of Mrs. Ou, we were in the car park, driven by Xuanzi.
"Didn't you say that the car is just a transportation tool? Why don't you keep a low profile?" I sat in the back of the Rolls-Royce and couldn't help teasing her. He just shook his head and smiled.
The Ou Family has always paid great attention to ceremony and etiquette. They can't extend their birthday wishes to their elders past 12 noon. That's why Ou Jia Rui woke me up so early in the morning.
It was not even ten o'clock in the morning when they arrived at the Ou Family residence.
The homes of Ou Jia Rui's parents were actually built next to a natural lake. Although it wasn't as big as Ou Jia Rui's residence in B City, it was said that the large area of land nearby was all bought by the Ou family. It was because the two elders were old after all, and there was no one else living in this villa, so it was built for the sake of a more spacious scenery.
Although it was still early, there were already many people gathered in the house. The entire first floor was for the living room, with the exception of the dining room and the washroom, all the rooms were arranged for the second floor. The living room was very spacious, as if it was meant for a party.
The Ou Family was not a small family. Although many of them were entrepreneurs and some even worked for the Ou Family, no one developed better than Ou Jia Rui. Therefore, most of the people here respected Ou Jia Rui's mother.
The person sitting on the sofa in the middle of the living room is Ou Jia Rui's parents. I've already met Mrs. Ou, but this is the first time I've seen Ou Jia Rui's father, a middle-aged man who looks very serious. Perhaps he was tired when he was young, so he doesn't look as young as Mrs. Ou, but his temperament is still very good.
Xuanzi followed behind me and used a small cart to push the birthday present that Ou Jia Rui had bought for Mrs. Ou. Ou Jia Rui pulled me in front of them and said, "Dad, Mom."
Although there was a smile on their faces, sitting there gave off a cold and distant feeling. It was only when I looked at Ou Jia Rui that I saw the two elders laughing from the bottom of their hearts.
That's right, whoever it was, they would be incredibly proud to have a son who could bring glory to their family.
"Jia Rui came so early, isn't she tired?" Although Ou Jia Rui was considered rather slow among the siblings, Mrs. Ou still said that.
"Mom, happy birthday, forever young." Ojira took the flowers from Xuanzi's hand and used her other hand to pull my arm, gesturing for me to speak.
I reacted: "Ou …" The two words' Madam 'hadn't even left his mouth when Ou Jia Rui's gaze fell on him. "Uncle Ou, Aunt Ou, hello. Aunt's birthday is happy."
There was astonishment in Ou Jia Rui's eyes when she saw this. I just realised that I still didn't say it correctly. I bit the bullet and called out, "Dad, Mom." Perhaps it was due to the fact that there were so many people present, Mrs. Ou gave me a hug and whispered in my ear, "When there's no one around, you should continue to call me Mrs. Ou. I really can't bear to hear you call me Mama."
My face was a little stiff, but it quickly returned to normal after taking into account Ojira's face.
Ou Jia Rui accompanied her parents and chatted with them for a while. Then, using the excuse that we were going out on our own as not having eaten breakfast yet, she brought me to the resting area in the hall to sit and eat some dessert.
The lunch hour was mainly for the Ou Family's family banquet, but I didn't see any sign of Ou Jingyi. Perhaps her identity was still a stain that couldn't be exposed on her son's body. It was the evening dinner for the Ou family and their friends. There would be a party in the afternoon.
Although Madame Ou had already entered the middle age age group, she still had high requirements in terms of living interests and interests. The lawn surrounding the villa was arranged in a warm and romantic manner. At the same time, it did not lose the precious feeling of status. As they neared the water source, the air around the lake was faintly filled with water vapor, driving away all the heat that was unique to the season.
The morning passed with the greetings of the Ou Family members. Ou Jia Rui and I ate something in a corner of the hall, so we went to find an empty room on the second floor to rest. Since we were all members of the Ou Family, no one would blame Ou Jia Rui for leaving us.
We hid in the room because, on the one hand, Ou's relatives kept coming to talk to him, and on the other hand, to prevent Mrs. Ou from picking on me or from looking into my eyes.
"My mother is like that. You've understood it before, she's old and everyone in the family follows her. It's inevitable that she's a little arrogant, but after a while, she'll get to know you and you'll like her." Ochjarry told me confidently.
For a moment, I thought about spending my life with someone like O'Jia Rui. Maybe we weren't the first people we'd met in our lives who wanted to give us our hearts, but this kind of tenderness was enough to warm the most difficult time I'd ever had since I'd been abandoned.
I nodded at Ou Jia Rui and smiled consolingly. "I understand. I will definitely work hard to make Madam Ou like me."
"Be good." There was a trace of unnoticeable pain in Ou Jia Rui's voice.
Very soon, someone knocked on the door, "Mr. Ou, Miss Zhou, Madam has sent for me to call you down for dinner."
"Alright." We looked at each other briefly before we went out.
Half of the people sitting at the long table in the dining hall were there. The empty seat at the front of the table near Ou Jia Rui's parents was obviously for him, but unfortunately, there was only one seat.
After thinking for a moment, O'Jia Rui pulled me to the back of the crowd. Mrs. Ou was clearly unhappy. "Jia Rui, you're sitting in the wrong place. Come over to your seat."
"Mom, this is my seat. As my husband, it is perfectly justified for me to sit together with my wife." Ou Jia Rui spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly. I could clearly see a young junior in the surroundings inhaling a breath of cold air. Due to what Ou Jia Rui said, the table instantly became filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Madame Ou was still patient. "Your seat is next to your father."
"Mom, there's only one seat, I'm not single anymore. My wife should have her own seat in the Ou Family."
