C71 Receding

Madame Ou was unmoved by Ou Jia Rui's attitude. "When you become a parent, you will understand the intentions of your father and I."

"Mom, I seem to have heard these words ten years ago."

"But it's all true. If you're willing to listen to our arrangements obediently, stay away from that girl who doesn't make any difference. You don't like Lin Xi, and there are still a lot of famous ladies in this circle." Mrs. Ou's threatening words made Ou Jia Rui feel very uncomfortable.

"And if I don't want to?" Ojwin asked without batting an eyelid.

The media in B City will soon find out that Ou Jia Rui, the president of Ou Clan, married a woman who had no manners and didn't understand how to grow up. She pushed down her mother-in-law at her mother-in-law's birthday banquet and almost turned into a tragic situation.

Ou Jia Rui clenched her fists. If the person in front of her couldn't distinguish right from wrong, and the person who turned black and white wasn't her mother, then she would definitely end up in a miserable state. However, it was because she was her mother that he couldn't do anything.

"It won't be hard for me to do this anymore, but that Zhou Xinyao's reputation will be ruined. In the future, who would dare to marry her?" This kind of threat made Ou Jia Rui not dare to not submit.

After standing in silence in front of his mother's bed for a long time, Ou Jia Rui's tightly clenched fists slowly loosened, "Alright, I understand. I will have less contact with him, at least I won't let you see something like this again. I still have things to attend to. Please pay attention to your body. I'll come see you again tomorrow." Although his back was still straight, there was an inexplicable sense of dejection on his face.

Hearing the sound of O'Jia Rui's footsteps entering the ward, I, who was originally lying flat on the bed and looking at the ceiling, quickly turned my body and closed my eyes, maintaining the same sleeping posture as before O'Jia Rui left.

"Yao Yao, are you awake?" I still closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep, because I really didn't know what to say to him, so I decided to just not face him.

Seeing that I didn't respond, O'Jia Rui thought I and I weren't awake, so she stopped talking.

As the seconds ticked by, Ou felt no movement from behind him. I was curious, and my body, which had always been in the same position, was a little stiff. I pretended to move unwittingly, and the thin cup slipped from my shoulder to my elbow.

I clearly heard Ou Jia Rui's voice when she stood up. She pulled the blanket back to its original place for me, but didn't immediately withdraw her hand.

His hands were large and warm, with distinct joints. Each of his fingers was very slender, and it was obvious from a glance that he was the hand of someone who had never done any housework and had always lived like a prince.

His warm, dry palms were resting on my face, and I felt comfortable, rubbing my face against mine.

"Hai." An inaudible sigh escaped Ou Jia Rui's lips as she recited a poem that I would find hard to forget even after a long time, "It's a given that there are two complete laws in this world that do not disappoint the Tathagata. Yao Yao, tell me, what should I do?"

I didn't know what had just happened in Ou Jia Rui's mother's room, but I guessed that the Ou Family probably wouldn't accept me.

After a long time, O'Jia Rui took her hand away from my face.

It was so boring to pretend to be asleep that I actually fell asleep after lying down for a while with my eyes closed.

When he woke up, the sky was already dark. The curtains had already been pulled open, and the fluorescent lights above his head made the room as bright as day. On the side, Ou Jia Rui held her laptop and was doing something.

"You're awake! You can really sleep like a sleeping beauty." Ou Jia Rui joked, "I'm going back to the company tonight, but I should be back tomorrow afternoon. I've already arranged for a specialist to take care of you, and I've already asked the doctor. Don't worry, you're still weak right now, you'll need at least another half a month before you can leave the hospital."

I nodded. My stomach was already rumbling with hunger. "I'm a little hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

Ou Jia Rui took the fish soup from the thermos at the side and said, "Just now, you made one of our servants cook it while you were sleeping. One for you and one for my mother, try and compare the taste with our family's."

Ou Jia Rui wanted to feed me, but I just picked up the bowl, picked up the spoon and started drinking. "It's okay, I can do it myself. You do your own things first." The fish soup is delicious, but I have no taste for it.

Not long after, Xuan Zi came to the hospital to pick up Ou Jia Rui. When he came, he brought a lot of my daily necessities and nutrients.

"I'll be leaving first. If you need anything, just give me a call." The attendant that O'Jia Rui had arranged was also here. I could be said to be absolutely safe here.

For the next few days, Ou Jia Rui practically had to go back to the Ou Family. Only then did I ask Xuan Zi to know that recently the Liang Family Enterprise had made new movements and seized a large share of the Ou Family's leading industries. And this part could be said to be the leading industry of the Ou Family. The Liang Family's coming over to take a share caused the Ou Family and the Ou Family's board of directors to be dissatisfied.

What I didn't know was that this wasn't the most important reason why O'Jia Rui hadn't come to stay with me.

Since I'm not in B city, it's very difficult for the Ou Family's servants to come to the hospital to take care of me. Xuan Zi had spent a lot of time in the talent market to hire a nurse, but she didn't know much about the Ou Family's situation.

At noon that day, when the nurse went out to cook for me as usual, she accidentally bumped into O'Jia Rui.

After the meal, the middle-aged nurse could not control her mouth for a while, "I just met Mr. Ou at the entrance of the Inpatient Department. He should be here soon." But obviously in the morning, Ou Jia Rui just came to the hospital to see me and said that she would be staying at the company for the next two days to take care of things.

I was pleasantly surprised by Ou Jia Rui's sudden visit. After staying in the hospital for many days already, there was finally someone who could relieve my boredom. Although the matter of the baby's miscarriage had still become a thorn in my heart, my mood had gradually improved over the past few days. I really hoped that Ou Jia Rui could break out of my boredom in the hospital.

But I waited, left and right, all the way until dusk, and still didn't wait for the legendary Ou Jia Rui who walked into the Inpatient Department at noon. The nurse knew she had spoken incorrectly and didn't dare to speak to me for the whole afternoon. I consoled myself with the thought that Ojaru must have been taking care of Mrs. Ou and was unable to leave. That was why he didn't come to see me, but he couldn't conceal the faint disappointment in his heart.

In the next few days, the number of times Ou Jia Rui came to visit me became fewer and fewer. From the first day to the second day, I only came to visit her once every two or three days, and even the time I spent with her became shorter and shorter. Usually, the company would leave after a few words because they had matters to attend to.

Although he told himself not to think too much, he still couldn't help but want to investigate.

It was another short visit. Ou Jia Rui asked a few questions about my situation and then got up to leave: "My mother still has things to look for me for. I'll go see her first. I'll come see you next time when I have time." Not only did they meet less, even their attitude was cold and distant.

"Alright." I sat on the sickbed as I watched him leave. I suddenly had the urge to investigate what exactly Madam Ou wanted to talk to Ou Jia Rui about, which led to his abnormal actions these few days.

Thinking this way, I, who had almost fully recovered, told the nurse that I wanted to go outside to get some fresh air, so I put on my jacket and headed to the outer ward.

The outer ward was on the 23rd floor of the Inpatient Department. When I took the elevator to arrive, I already couldn't see the shadow of O'Jia Rui anymore. Luckily, Madame Ou's identity was so special, so I judged that she was living in the VIP ward.

There was a nurse who was accompanying Ou Jia Rui's mother, but there was no trace of her. Just as I was about to turn around and leave, I saw Mrs. Ou, who had been greeting the doctor, turn her head and look at me.

It didn't seem right to hide now, so I could only stand at the door of the ward and give Mrs. Ou a slight smile. I politely stood at the door and waited for the doctor to finish his routine examination before I went in to greet me.

Madame Ou didn't sustain any serious injuries. The doctor gave her a few notes to rest her mind before leaving. I summoned up my courage and walked in. "Madam Ou, how are you doing? I came to check on you."

Contrary to my expectations, what welcomed me was not a cold eye, but a kind and gentle smile from Madame Ou. "Yao Yao, you've come. I've been in the hospital for the past few days, so I haven't had a chance to see you. How's your recovery coming along?" He even asked the nurse to bring me a chair to sit by her bed.

I was even more taken aback by this situation than by sarcasm. I sat in my chair, not knowing where to put my hands, not knowing what Mrs. Ou was up to, and I no longer dared to ask her to accept me as my daughter-in-law, thinking that she was doing it because I had saved her.

"I'm almost recovered. Thank you for your concern."

"Don't thank me. On the contrary, I should thank you. If it wasn't for you bravely rushing out to help me block those things, who knows what would have happened to my old bones. When I get out of the hospital, I'll personally pick out a few gifts that girls like to thank you for. " Mrs. Ou's attitude changed so suddenly that I didn't know what to do.

"You're too polite. As a junior, I should do this. It's just that Jia Rui didn't react. If he did, he would definitely do the same." My mother listened to my rejection, but smiled without saying a word, as if she were planning something.
