C68 Everything Is too Sudden

Ou Jia Rui held onto my waist from behind and his reassuring voice sounded out from behind me. "It's okay. Don't be nervous. Your safety is more important." He even took a delicate handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the cream off my hands without showing any disgust.

I stood on the stage. Although I knew that it wasn't my fault, that foot of Ou Jingyi's had caused me to lose my balance, but it was still a bit embarrassing.

I turned around to apologize to Madame Ou first, but when I looked back, not only did I not see any surprise or panic on her face, there was even a trace of regret that I didn't eat a bigger loss. In that instant, I understood what had happened, and the guilt and regret on her face didn't exist anymore.

There was simply no such thing as suddenly accepting my possibility. Today on the stage, I caused such an embarrassing thing, and it wasn't an accident, but Ou Jia Rui's mother and Ou Jingyi discussing one of Harper's plans. Only I and Ou Jia Rui remained ignorant, and their hearts were filled with gratitude.

As expected, Mrs. Ou took the microphone and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. Jia Rui's new girlfriend isn't very suitable for this kind of occasion, so there aren't any accidents. There are also some small children playing around, so today's cake cutting session is canceled. Please enjoy yourself."

The meaning of every single sentence is implying that my marriage with Ou Jia Rui was just a joke. I'm not worthy of Ou Jia Rui at all. Ou Jingyi revealed a complacent expression on her face.

After Madame Ou finished speaking, I thought that today's farce would end like this. Unexpectedly, Ou Jia Rui took out the microphone and said, "Everyone, my mother is old, her words are somewhat inaccurate. She's not my little girlfriend, she's my legal wife."

"You!" Madame Ou was very dissatisfied with Ou Jia Rui's actions.

Ou Jia Rui also said with a dark face, "Mom, you went a bit overboard today. Xin Yao didn't do anything. You joined hands with Jingjing to deal with her. I don't even know you." In order to take care of the mood of the guests, and for the sake of his own mother's face, Ou Jia Rui lowered her voice.

"What do you mean?" Madame Ou was also angered. In order to not be discovered, she walked down the stage first and said in a low voice to Ou Jia Rui, "Come with me."

Ou Jia Rui's mother walked straight to the chair next to the Champagne Tower in the dining area and sat down. Ou Jingyi also followed and took the chance to sit beside her. Madame Ou glanced at her, but didn't say anything. Ou Jia Rui pulled me to sit opposite of the two of them, and I wanted to leave, but Ou Jia Rui held my wrist tightly under the table.

Madam Ou was the first to speak. "Jia Rui, it's been many years since you've spoken to your mother like this. I thought you've matured and could take charge of yourself. Why are you still so irrational because of a woman like back then?"

"Mom, you're the one who's lost your mind, right? Why do you have to make Zhou Xinyao look so bad?" This is the first time I've seen Ou Jia Rui so angry. Even when the Ou Family found out that there was a spy, he still maintained a carefree expression.

Ou Jingyi was the first to speak with guilt, "She was the one who was the first to see the world, and accidentally fell when she cut the cake on the stage. Who wants to make her lose face?" This was something that Ou Jingyi was prepared to believe in. I would never reveal the matter where I tripped over my head.

However, Ou Jia Rui said impatiently, "Jingjing, you can't kill a child already. Doing this kind of thing every day is pretty boring. Do you think everyone else can't see it?" Ou Jingyi lowered her head, not daring to say another word.

Don't blame her, no matter what, she was raised from a young age, and she is a graduate of a famous university." Don't blame her, no matter what, she was raised from a young age, and she was a graduate of a famous university. Mrs. Ou was not as gentle and gentle as she appeared to be.

"Mom, this is all because of your prejudice. Why is it that as long as you're not the daughter of someone from the same circle, you'll never know anything? You'll never know anything about Zhou Xinyao's abilities."

"No matter what, I just can't accept the media saying that my son is married to Cinderella. Little Sparrow won't become a phoenix no matter what, did you ask her what she wants to marry you for?"

I silently listened without a word, feeling that there was nothing to say to someone like Mrs. Ou. Once a person started to hate you, no matter what you did, it would be hard for her to change her opinion of you.

Ou Jia Rui obviously couldn't bear to listen any longer. "Mom, if you keep on like this, I don't think we can continue today. I'll go back first. Happy Birthday."

Ou Jia Rui pulled me along and was about to leave when she was stopped by Madam Ou. "Ou Jia Rui, stop right there."

"Is there anything else?" Ou Jia Rui's face was expressionless.

"Zhou Xinyao can leave, but you must stay today. Later, when your Uncle Lin brings your daughter over, she will be that Lin Xi who played exceptionally well with you when you were young. She just graduated from Harvard and wants to take over the Lin Clan. The two of you will have a chance to meet and get to know each other." Madame Ou said she was going to arrange a blind date for O'Jia Rui in front of me without any hesitation.

The string in my heart seemed to loosen, but my expression didn't change. If Ou Jia Rui was careful enough, she should be able to feel that the hand she was grabbing was suddenly covered in a thin layer of sweat.

She inadvertently saw that Ou Jingyi had her head bowed behind Mrs. Ou, and also raised her head in shock. Hearing that the Ou Family seemed to be intentionally trying to seduce Ou Jia Rui and Lin Xi, Ou Jingyi's face instantly turned pale. In this situation, she didn't dare to say anything.

"What do you mean? Mom, I don't care if you're willing to accept it or not, I'm already married, and I'm a legitimate wife. As for the others, you should save as much time as possible for them." Ochira pulled me along and started striding away.

"Unfilial son, come over here for me." It was unknown when Ou Jia Rui's father came over. Almost all of the guests' attention was focused on the commotion. However, the three members of the Ou Family had long since forgotten about it and started arguing.

Perhaps the matter of the young Ou Family not being adopted by the Ou Family due to their love for Meng Shuzhen had left too deep of a shadow on them. From their conversation, I could tell that the Ou Family was also very dissatisfied with Ou Jia Rui marrying an ordinary girl who didn't come from a prominent family.

Now I understand how much of an obstacle Ochira had to overcome when she decided to marry me. But even so, he still gave me a perfect dream wedding that many young girls look forward to and pursue.

While I was lost in my thoughts, O'Jia Rui let go of my hand and began to fight against my parents. Somehow, as I was pushing and pulling, one of her arms suddenly struck the Champagne Tower next to Mrs. Ou. No one in the argument seemed to notice this.

Next to the Champagne Tower was a bronze lampstand. The Champagne Tower was about to topple on top of it, and the excited Ou Jia Rui's mother was standing next to the lampstand.

The lampstand looked very heavy and hard. Although Mrs Ou seemed to be in good health and her condition was much younger than her actual age, she was, after all, an elderly person. If she was hit on the head or body by such a hard weight, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The moment the lampstand fell, my body's reaction was much faster than my brain. In that moment, I completely forgot that there was a baby in my stomach that hadn't seen this world for more than four months. I threw myself at Madame Ou, who was standing next to the lampstand, and said, "Be careful!"

Madame Ou was pushed to the dining area's table by me. Some of the broken glasses from the Champagne tower directly hit the exposed part of her leg, causing sharp stabs of pain. Madame Ou couldn't react in time and continued cursing, "Why is a little girl like you so uncultured? I only said a few words to you, why are you pushing me?"

The crowd was startled by what happened next, and for a moment the scene was a mess. There were even screams from several women that pricked my eardrums.

At the same time as her voice fell, the hard lampstand smashed into my back, and the pain almost made me faint. Ou Jia Rui, the first one to understand the situation, yelled as she picked up the lampstand from my back: "Yao Yao, Yao Yao, how are you feeling? Where's the pain?"

I tried to smile at him to ease his nervousness, but my voice sounded weaker than I'd expected: "It's okay. It just hurts a little." I thought it was just my back that had been hit by the lampstand, but it didn't occur to me that Mrs. Ou was struggling. I twisted my body, trying to avoid the sharp edge of the table.

Because of this twist, half of my stomach was hit by a piece of ornament that had fallen from the lampstand.

Lying on the grass, with Ou Jia Rui holding him in her arms, I felt a warm current between my legs. I could clearly feel the excruciating pain, and the way Ou Jia Rui held my hand was even trembling a little. "Hurry up!"

Lady Ou, who had been frightened, had been helped up by the servants and many eager guests to sit in a chair, waiting for a private car to take her to the hospital. For the first time, I hated this cold and snobbish world.

I slowly closed my eyes, feeling a certain part of my body slipping away.

Although the light couldn't be considered bright, there were still quite a few guests who were very close to us who saw it. The pink-white dress I was wearing was dyed red with blood, and there were even some that were dyed on Ou Jia Rui's clean suit.

In a daze, he felt himself being carried onto the ambulance. Although his entire body felt very cold, his left hand, which had been tightly held by Ou Jia Rui the entire time, was filled with a steady stream of heat.

But this time, this kind of warmth isn't able to give me any strength.
