C77 Leaving the Ou Family
After finishing the meeting, I returned to the office, but there was no trace of me. Just as I was about to call him to look for him, I just happened to open the door to the office.
"What did you do just now? I went to the cafeteria and the teahouse but you were nowhere to be seen. If you didn't come back, I would have had the female employee go to the bathroom to check on you." Ojira said to me.
I calmly replied, "It's nothing. Miss Ou said that she wanted to settle the grudge between us."
Ou Jia Rui suddenly stood up from her seat. She walked in front of me and carefully examined my body: "Are you okay? Did Jingjing do anything to you?"
"I'm fine. I'm just afraid that something might happen to you later." O'Jia Rui didn't understand what I meant, but she frowned and let me continue.
"I just hit Ou Jingyi, and when she wanted to fight back, I left her behind." Originally, he thought that Ou Jia Rui would feel a headache because of this. However, he didn't expect that a smile had already leaked out from the corner of his eyes.
"Zhou Xinyao, you've grown in skill." Ochira stroked my head, as if she was looking at a weak child in her own family who no longer wanted to be popular.
I replied indifferently, "There's no other way. After all, she plotted against me on Mrs Ou's birthday and always came to cause trouble for me. However, I expect that she will come to find you soon." I could ignore the fact that Ou Jingyi had asked me to leave Ozara in order to avoid further conflict.
"Alright." Ou Jia Rui said with a smile.
It was hard to believe that Ou Jingyi still hadn't come to see her until after work.
After Ou Jia Rui had arranged for all the departments to work overtime, they prepared to bring me home. I was still a little worried, "About that, I need to go to the design department and ask if Miss Ou has taken any leave of absence. It can't be that I knocked her out and she hasn't woken up since, right?"
"Your imagination is quite rich, who can you knock out with that little strength of yours?" Ojira laughed at me.
As they chatted, the car had already driven out of the underground parking lot. Because the time tasks arranged for them to work at Euclidean City were too concentrated and focused, once they relaxed, they would feel more comfortable than usual.
"What do you want to eat today? I haven't had a proper lunch yet." O'Ciaran asked me as she called the servant at home.
When the phone was picked up, Ou Jia Rui frowned and directly turned the car around at the intersection.
"What's wrong?" I thought something had happened at the company and became nervous.
"It's nothing, our auntie said that Jingjing moved in at night. She brought all the stuff with her and Lin Qian is also here, they didn't dare to chase her away and were already preparing to eat at home. I told them not to wait for us." "What do you want to eat today?"
I said, "Anything is fine. Is a spicy and spicy spicy pot okay?" I had a bit of a prank.
"You're still laughing? It's either a spicy hot spicy pot or a spicy spicy hot spicy pot. You probably won't be able to eat properly when Jingjing and the others are at home. We'll go back after we finish eating." As O'Jia Rui spoke, she looked for possible places with spicy casseroles. I told her the name of the place.
Because it was too crowded on the food street, Ou Jia Rui and I parked our cars in the parking lot and went out on foot to look for the spicy and spicy casserole shop. I was afraid that we might be separated from the crowd.
He turned and walked into a clean and tidy store at the corner of the store. Entering, the enthusiastic Lady Boss brought out a menu and walked over. "Hey, little girl. Is it you? You haven't been here for a long time?"
I didn't expect the Lady Boss to recognize me after such a long time. Then I thought about it, the last time I came here was after breaking up with Lin Qian and getting troubled by Ou Jingyi. As I ate the spicy and fragrant food, I couldn't help but sob softly, until I finally burst into tears.
No one would easily forget such a deep impression.
Thinking about the past, I couldn't help but sigh. I handed the menu to Ou Jia Rui, then after thinking for a moment, I took it back. "Forget it, I'll bring you directly along with me."
The Lady Boss's actions were extremely quick. Not long later, the wok containing the wingspan, squid, vegetables, and various ingredients was brought to the table. Ou Jia Rui and I each ate a bowl of rice until our noses were drenched with sweat, feeling carefree and carefree.
As I left, I was very pleased with myself. "How is it?"
"The taste is not bad." I don't know if it's true that Ocari doesn't reject these roadside stalls, or if she's just trying to please me.
The car drove all the way to Ou family, after last time I encountered that dangerous parasol tree filled road, my thoughts were instantly pulled away. In my memory of that time, Ojia Rui didn't accompany me, and I felt like I went to the hospital to see Ou Jingyi who was sick. It was also only after that time that I began to slowly understand that the relationship between Ou Jingyi and Ojia Rui wasn't as estranged as I thought.
Thinking that I would be able to see Ou Jingyi complaining and acting coquettishly because she was beaten up by me later, I felt really upset.
When I returned to the Ou family, I found that Lin Qian had not left yet. He was holding an ice bag on the sofa to help Ou Jingyi apply ice onto her swollen cheek.
Hearing the sound of us entering, Ou Jingyi sat up straight on the sofa and even pushed Lin Qian's arm away, "Jia Rui, you're finally back."
Ou Jia Rui indifferently replied: "Yes."
Under Ou Jingyi's instructions, Lin Qian helped her up from the sofa. I noticed that Ou Jingyi's ankle was wrapped in gauze, it should have been caused by her sprains or abrasions when I pushed her down.
Thinking of the foot that Ou Jingyi stretched out in front of me at Mrs Ou's birthday party, I felt like I didn't hit her hard enough.
"This Zhou Xinyao, did you know that she hit me?" I just wanted to have a good chat with her. I didn't think that she would suddenly attack me. Look at my face and my legs. " Ou Jingyi's voice was suddenly tinged with tears. Her weak and weak appearance was completely different from the woman who had been viciously talking to me earlier in the day.
Lin Qian's eyes looked over at me. I wasn't expecting it because I hurt Ou Jingyi's anger and disgust. Instead, there was a kind of probing look in his eyes that made me feel uncomfortable all over.
Ou Jia Rui said: "I know, I've pretty much treated my injuries. I also heard from my auntie that you've eaten at home. When do you plan to go back?"
It was unknown if it was because of Ou Jingyi or because Lin Qian's EQ suddenly dropped, she blurted out, "Director Ou, Jingjing and I have been renovating our house recently, that's why she wanted to come over for a while."
Since that was the case, it was obvious that Ou Jia Rui had no reason to refuse: "Alright, then you guys can stay here. I'll arrange a large room for you, you can stay with Jingjing."
"No, I want to live in my own room. Can't you just let her sleep in the hotel? I don't want her to take care of me." Ou Jia Rui arranged a room for Lin Qian to stay in far away from my bedroom.
Just like that, even though there were two couples among the four of us, each of us slept in a different room.
Ou Jingyi saw that Ou Jia Rui didn't scold or loathe me because I hurt her. She was very unbalanced, but she insisted on staying at the Ou family for a few days. In this way, the four of us lived a life where we couldn't even see each other.
While it was still considered normal for Lin Qian to live in the Ou Family, and occasionally even take Ou Jingyi out to eat every day, I still felt uncomfortable. This kind of discomfort was especially intense when I saw Ou Jingyi pestering Ou Jia Rui. Ou Jingyi's injuries had mostly recovered, but she never brought up the matter of returning home.
After a few days of hard work, the Ou Family had finally prepared all the specific details of the competition before the Liang Family left. Many of the employees who participated in this project also received Ou Jia Rui's generous rewards. The Euclidean operation was finally back to normal, and my work was almost over.
At noon on Tuesday, after I'd finished the last of my work, I asked Ocari, "By the way, did you get all the furniture for the apartment I was assigned to at school?"
Ou Jia Rui looked at the computer: "We're all here, and it just so happens that Xuan Zi is preparing to bring some people to your house to help you pack up."
I nodded. "That's good. Then I can go and live there tomorrow, right?"
Only now did Ou Jia Rui react: "Are you going to move out?"
"That's right, I'm about to start my studies. Besides, I've already dealt with all of the Ou Family's work."
"Alright, I'll bring someone to send you to school tomorrow. Take a look and see what else you need. I'll buy it all together."
"Mm. Alright."
The next morning, I got up early and started packing my things. Normally, I didn't notice that there were a lot of jewelry boxes and clothes that Ou Jia Rui had sold me, but when I packed them up, I found out that they were already filled with several boxes that still couldn't hold my stuff. When Ou Jingyi woke up, she saw my box in the living room.
"What's wrong, Zhou Xinyao? Are you completely the same?" Are you ready to move today? " I ate the porridge in my bowl and didn't intend to answer that question.
"Yaoyao is going to study at the B University tomorrow. She might not be home for the time being." Ou Jia Rui explained.
Lin Qian, who was eating beside Ou Jingyi, suddenly raised his head and asked, "What major are you studying in?"
I was a little taken aback, because although the past few days were peaceful, Lin Qian and I had never interacted with each other. His sudden question caused me to be a little taken aback, "A major in Chinese literature."
"Mm, it's good." Lin Qian's smile was a bit forced. Both Ou Jingyi and Ou Jia Rui pretended not to notice.
When everything was packed, Xuanzi came out of the parking lot to find the old Lincoln. It was actually for me to put my luggage in. It was such a waste of a precious resource.
After walking for nearly an hour, we finally arrived at B University. The entire campus was filled with youthful faces, and I felt a little nervous but also a little expectant. The car drove straight into my apartment on the campus.
Standing under my apartment building, I realized that I had finally been able to leave the Ou Family and couldn't help but smile.
