Chapter 189 Take Care on the Operating Table

"Grandma, I'll come see you later."

Ou Yan got up, gently closed the ward door, walked to the floor guidance platform, and said to one of the nurses, "Please keep an eye on the patient in Room 301 for me. If there are any sudden changes, you can dial the contact number of the family on the information and contact me. My name is Ou Yan."

"I know! Don't worry! You're Dr. Tang's girlfriend, we're all on the same side!"

The nurse was the intern from earlier, smiling with bright eyes.

"Could I ask you a favor? Could you ask your boyfriend to be gentler on ordinary days? Keeping a straight face all day makes us feel uneasy."

"He's not my boyfriend," Ou Yan corrected calmly. "But I'll pass on your message."

"Please don't say it was me! Please!" The nurse clasped her hands together, praying non-stop.

At that moment, Tang Yiyang happened to walk out of the office. When he saw Ou Yan about to leave, his long legs moved toward her.

Seeing him, the nurse panicked and pretended to read a patient's chart, but she couldn't focus.

"Ou Yan," Tang Yiyang called out to her, "Are you leaving?"

"Yes, be gentler from now on."

Tang Yiyang: ??? Is he not gentle enough usually??

In front of the little girl, his temper was unusually good!!

Did the nurse say something bad about him??

Otherwise, how could the little girl mention this for no reason??

Thinking like this, Tang Yiyang's gaze fell on the nurse, who was terrified, her hand holding the medical record trembling...

"I mean, you're usually too fierce. Smile more often."

"Am I fierce?" Tang Yiyang found it amusing. This little girl hadn't seen him being fierce. He was truly fierce when dealing with Qiu Susu and the Bai family before! Compared to them, he was very good to the little girl, right??

The nurse sneaked a peek at Tang Yiyang smiling and couldn't help but be stunned. She hadn't expected Dr. Tang, who was usually icy, to be so handsome when he smiled...

He's so gentle to this girl...

"That's it, smile more. I'm going back now, I have things to take care of." Ou Yan reached this point, looked at the nurse who was infatuated beside her, and tapped the table with her finger. "Remember to keep an eye out for me."

"Oh, okay, no problem!" The nurse hurriedly agreed.

"Ou Yan," Tang Yiyang called her, "Are you going to see them? You're alone, I'm worried."

"Don't worry, they're the ones who have to worry." Ou Yan casually curled her lips. "If I get heavy-handed, please take good care of them on the operating table."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure they never forget it."

"Goodbye."

Seeing Ou Yan leave, the nurse couldn't help saying, "Dr. Tang, your friend is so cool... Her presence is so strong."

"What bad things did you say about me just now?"

"Ah? Nothing, nothing..."

"You'll be on night duty for the next week."

"Ah? Dr. Tang, I said something wrong, I'm sorry, please don't leave..."

Ou Yan took a taxi to the Bai family. As she approached the yard, she heard two housekeepers excitedly sharing "spoils."

"This clothes is nice! Give me one..."

"I heard that old lady is about to die, so we can pick clothes casually! Look at this style, it's really nice..."

"She's so old, wearing such nice clothes is a waste!"

"But of course! Hey, look, there's a QY logo on this clothes in the sunlight, what does it mean? Is it a big brand?"

"I don't know, probably some anti-counterfeiting mark! Forget about it, as long as the clothes look good!"

"I've been eyeing this piece of clothing for a long time! Now that the old lady probably won't come back! Let's take more!"

...

With a bang, the golden iron gate was kicked open.

The two housekeepers looked over and saw Ou Yan. They instinctively hid the clothes behind them.

But with a pile of clothes in front of them, they couldn't hide them in time and looked a little guilty as they glanced at Ou Yan.

"Miss Ou Yan, why are you back?"

"What Miss? She's not even a member of this family! Haven't you heard? Her real family is in the countryside. She probably came back to ask for money from Madam!"

"Didn't Master just give you sixty million!"

"Does she really think this is her home? Without even saying hello, she barges in. Have you forgotten all the manners you've been taught at the Bai family?"

...

Ou Yan stepped forward coldly, "grandma's clothes, why are they in your hands?"

These were all designed by her for Grandma Bai...

"Why are they in our hands? Do we need to report to you?" one of the housekeepers stretched her finger and mocked Ou Yan, "Do you still think you're a miss from the Bai family!"

She sneered, just rolled her eyes, and with a simple hand lock, directly grabbed her arm.

"Ouch! Ouch! It hurts... Ou Yan, what are you doing!"

The other housekeeper panicked, "You, you, I'm going to tell Madam..."

Ou Yan kicked, and the other housekeeper fell to the ground, her face plunged into the bushes, in pain.

"Answer my question." Ou Yan increased her strength.

The housekeeper whose arm was grabbed explained in pain, "It's Madam's idea! Madam said, since Madam, uh, not, the old lady, Madam's health is getting worse day by day, she probably won't come back, even if she does, there won't be many days left..."

Ou Yan's eyes darkened. Did Xu Aiqin want the old lady dead so soon? She's already plotting against the old lady this quickly?

"Madam wants to clear out the old lady's dressing room and make it into a yoga room for Miss Yao Yao... Madam said the old lady can't wear so many clothes anymore, they're all outdated, so she said to give them to us, let us pick..."

"Can she do this to Grandma's things?"

"Madam said she's the mistress of this house, she has the authority to deal with everything in the house."

Ou Yan ruthlessly let go of her arm, and the housekeeper, in pain, fell to the ground.

"Oh my waist..."

"Madam, come quickly, there's trouble, someone's killed someone..."

Bai Zhenhai, Xu Aiqin, and Bai Muyao hurriedly ran out and saw Ou Yan was back. Did the little girl finally come to her senses and want to cooperate with the Bai family?

This is a great thing!!!

"Yan Yan, you're finally home? Come, come in quickly..." Bai Zhenhai hurried forward, smiling kindly.

After all, she was raised by the Bai family. At this critical moment, she's come to repay the favor!

Ou Yan looked at his hypocritical face and felt disgusted, "Grandma's things, why are they here?"

Bai Zhenhai was stunned, he didn't expect her to see this scene so coincidentally, and hurriedly said, "These are all outdated clothes, we want to buy new ones for your grandmother. We don't want these old ones anymore..."

"Wash them and put them back in the dressing room."

  Chapter 123: Robbing the Execution Ground (2)

Shopkeeper Xing hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth to advise, "Miss, please don't mind my interference, but the fruit trees you mentioned are difficult to grow. In the past, the court made great efforts to bring back seedlings of apples, grapes, and other fruits from foreign lands, and some survived. However, after more than a decade, not a single fruit has been produced."

Mo Yan automatically ignored his words before and after, eagerly asking, "So you mean we can get these fruit trees from foreign lands?"

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Xing twitched his eyes and helplessly replied, "Indeed, it's possible. However, the journey from the capital to foreign lands is long, and even if we manage to get the seedlings, it's not certain they'll survive the journey back."

Mo Yan didn't take this to heart. Even if they died, as long as they were soaked in the Spirit Spring pool, they could come back to life.

Seeing that Mo Yan had made up her mind, Shopkeeper Xing couldn't persuade her any further. He could only suggest, "If Miss really wants to obtain fruit seedlings from foreign lands, it's best to find those merchants who frequently travel between the north and south, as they would be more familiar with these matters."

Mo Yan had already intended to do so and thanked him with a smile.

Before leaving, Xiao Zhu suddenly spoke up, "Miss Mo, do you want pear trees or peach trees?"

Mo Yan was taken aback and smiled, "Yes, of course. I plan to cultivate a large orchard, so the more varieties, the better."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhu happily revealed his two small front teeth, "My neighbor's family sells fruit seedlings, but they are only ordinary pear and peach trees, and they can't sell them at a high price. The family is very poor! If you want to buy, you can buy from them. Their fruit seedlings are better than others!"

"This kid, he can't even afford to marry a wife himself, but he's worrying about others." Shopkeeper Xing patted Xiao Zhu on the back and jokingly scolded him.

Mo Yan smiled, "Xiao Zhu is a kind-hearted person. He will definitely marry a gentle and virtuous wife."

Xiao Zhu smiled foolishly, scratching his head in embarrassment, his ears turning red, which made Mo Yan and the others laugh heartily.

With some clues about the fruit seedlings, Mo Yan was in a good mood. Just as she had sent Shopkeeper Xing away, Liu Tinglan arrived.

"Are you going to the execution ground?" Mo Yan's eye twitched and decisively refused, "No, I'm afraid of having nightmares when I sleep at night."

"Please, let's just go and take a look. When those human traffickers are about to be executed, we'll leave without watching." Liu Tinglan grabbed Mo Yan's arm and pleaded.

Mo Yan pulled her arm away and shook her head vigorously, "If you want to go, go by yourself. I'm not interested."

Clearly a delicate girl, yet she insisted on going to watch executions. Her taste was too heavy!

"Come on, just come with me! Think of it as accompanying me!" Liu Tinglan refused to give up. Those villains even wanted to sell her to such a dirty place. If she didn't see those bad people being punished with her own eyes, she wouldn't be able to sleep well.

Mo Yan felt helpless, her head aching from being pestered by her. She could only say, "Okay, but I'll only watch for a while. I don't want to see blood."

Liu Tinglan nodded vigorously, "Definitely, definitely, I don't dare to watch either."

Mo Yan rolled her eyes. Didn't dare to watch? Who would believe that!

Mo Yan was dragged onto the Liu family's carriage by Liu Tinglan. The coachman was an elderly man in his fifties. When he saw Mo Yan, he respectfully called her Miss Mo.

As soon as he heard that his young lady wanted to go to the execution ground, the coachman was so scared that he almost kneeled down to this little ancestor. But no matter how hard he persuaded, Liu Tinglan ignored him. Helpless, he could only drive the carriage to the vegetable market, secretly praying that the master and madam wouldn't blame him.

The Liu family was just a modestly wealthy household. The decoration in the carriage was not luxurious, but it was very comfortable and neat. Sitting in it was also very stable. Mo Yan tried it and found it much better than riding in a donkey or ox cart.

She had thought about buying a carriage before, but then things got busy and she forgot about it. It was just that the rented, she couldn't put it anywhere. It was better to wait until the new house was built and then buy a carriage. There would be a place to put it, and there were also twenty acres of land at home, so she would need to buy a plow ox as well.

Mo Yan calculated in her heart and soon arrived at the vegetable market.

The vegetable market was located in the north market, supposedly because it was the most chaotic place in the north market, where thieves and swindlers were concentrated. A few years ago, an execution ground was built here, and anyone sentenced to death would be executed here to deter those scoundrels.

After hearing Liu Tinglan explain the reasons behind it, Mo Yan found it very unbelievable.

In the same capital, the four markets in the east, west, south, and north divided people into three categories. The north market was like the slums of a developed country in her previous life, synonymous with backwardness, poverty, and filth. Deliberately building the execution ground here undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the residents of the north market.

People from the north market wouldn't admit it when they went to the other three markets, for fear of being stared at with strange eyes.

It was now half past noon, and the nineteen human traffickers had already been escorted to the execution ground. There were already many people gathered around the execution ground, some just to watch the excitement, and others because their children had been abducted.

Many people whose children had been abducted but hadn't been found also came, pointing at the human traffickers and crying and cursing. Several women even fainted in grief and anger, and were carried away by their family members.

With the help of the coachman, Liu Tinglan pulled Mo Yan to the front.

Looking at the human traffickers on the execution platform, covered in dirt and smelling of vegetables and rotten eggs, Liu Tinglan was extremely angry. "They are all scourges that will stink for thousands of years. They should be killed."

Mo Yan looked at the man kneeling in the center, nicknamed Fat boss, who was looking around anxiously, his face showing visible urgency and... anticipation!

Could it be that these human traffickers were not just twenty, but there were also others who had escaped the net, and now their accomplices were planning to rob the execution ground to rescue them?

Mo Yan's mind wandered, involuntarily recalling the plots she had seen in movies and TV dramas in her previous life...

 Chapter 854: I Escaped Back

Shu Yu sighed, "Yes, I was exiled to the southwest, but as you can see, I managed to escape and return."

"Escaped?!" The woman gasped in disbelief.

How dare she escape from the place of exile in the southwest and return to her hometown, Jiangyuan County, to find her own relatives? Was she out of her mind?

Shu Yu smiled and brushed off the woman's finger, raising an eyebrow. "Yes, I went through great hardships to come back. Didn't you say I could carry an axe and chop off my uncle's leg? If I were such a wicked person, why would I willingly stay as a laborer in exile? Unable to endure it, I had to escape. Otherwise, how could I be here?"

She said it so convincingly that the woman's legs turned weak with fear.

Oh no, this was bad. It was bad enough that she had committed a crime and been exiled, but now she dared to escape. It was as if she didn't value her own life.

Not only did this involve her niece, but she herself might be implicated as well.

The woman took a step back in shock, stumbled, and rolled on the doorstep.

But before anyone could approach her, she quickly got up and, in a panic, screamed, "Ah..." and ran away without looking back.

Shu Yu sighed, "..." Did she really believe that? Such a lack of courage?

She clicked her tongue and then turned her head.

Seeing Zhou Qiao's shocked expression, Shu Yu lightly coughed twice.

Da Ya glanced at her with a dissatisfied look, but she didn't say much about her sister scaring people. She turned to Zhou Qiao and said, "My sister was just joking. You must be the elder sister-in-law. You might not remember me, but I'm Da Ya, and this is Ah Yu."

Zhou Qiao swallowed nervously. She really didn't remember Da Ya.

She had only seen Da Ya once during the marriage arrangement. After that, her mother passed away, and she had been in mourning at home. Later, Da Ya got married, and because Zhou Qiao was still in mourning and hadn't married Da Niu yet, she didn't attend the wedding. She only sent a gift through Da Niu.

After that, Da Ya didn't have a good time in her in-laws' family, so she rarely came back to her parents' home. Zhou Qiao occasionally visited Shishi Village during festivals, but she never saw Da Ya.

It had been three years, and Da Ya had changed a lot since the last time Zhou Qiao saw her. Naturally, she didn't recognize her.

Now that she took a closer look, she could vaguely see some traces of her past features.

She then looked at Shu Yu. This was the first time she had seen this sister-in-law who Big Bull praised so much.

Just like Da Niu had said, Ah Yu was indeed the most beautiful and eye-catching girl in the Lu family.

She didn't look like a criminal who had been exiled to a remote place and suffered.

Wait, now wasn't the time to think about these things.

Zhou Qiao snapped out of her daze and asked, "Is it really Da Ya and Ah Yu? How did you come back?"

Of course, she didn't believe that Shu Yu had actually escaped. No fugitive would so brazenly appear in front of everyone and openly admit to what they had done.

But Shu Yu's sudden appearance did startle her.

Shu Yu smiled, "Elder sister-in-law, I apologize if I scared you the first time we met. Don't worry, I didn't escape. I was acquitted due to new invention. I just arrived in the city, and Mother, Father, and the others are staying in Liufang Lane. Big sister and I came here to see Big Brother Da Niu."

Zhou Qiao's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Acquitted?!"

Oh my, what kind of invention had been presented for her to be acquitted so quickly and return home?

  Chapter 188: A Remarkable Young Girl

Upon hearing this, Ou Yan immediately got up and walked outside, asking, "What's going on?"

"It seems like she's been under stress."

Stress? Ou Yan immediately guessed what was happening. "Have the Bai family members been to the hospital?"

"A young nurse said that before the old lady fell ill, she saw the three of them leaving the ward."

So, it's highly likely that the old lady was provoked into falling ill by the Bai family.

If that's the case, she won't let them off lightly!

Hurriedly arriving at Jingkang Hospital, all of Li Yue'e's indicators were rapidly declining.

In the ward, besides Tang Yiyang, there were two directors and a young nurse, all discussing ways to save the old lady.

"To operate or not, it's up to you." Tang Yiyang looked at Ou Yan.

Although the old lady's current physical condition couldn't withstand surgery, not having the surgery would surely result in death!

Ou Yan's slender fingers touched the old lady's wrist, and she said, "Give me the acupuncture kit."

It wasn't necessary to resort to surgery yet.

Tang Yiyang handed her the acupuncture kit.

Ou Yan skillfully opened it with one hand, picked out several thin silver needles, and inserted them into the old lady's acupuncture points one by one.

A newly arrived young nurse was terrified. What was this girl doing? How dare she do this in front of two directors and Dr. Tang?

"Dr. Tang, what is she doing?"

"Listen to her!" Tang Yiyang knew Ou Yan must have a way. Sure enough, after dozens of needles were inserted into the old lady's acupuncture points, she spat out a mouthful of dark blood in no time.

"Grandma," Ou Yan leaned over and called softly, "Can you hear me?"

The young nurse on the side watched her transform decay into magic and suddenly remembered a few days ago during her internship at Jingkang Hospital. She heard other nurses saying that there was a high school girl with excellent medical skills who worked with Dr. Tang to save lives...

Could it be this girl in front of her?

So young, yet so capable...

Li Yue'e heard the familiar voice, weakly raised her eyelids, and subconsciously wanted to grab Ou Yan's hand.

Ou Yan quickly grasped her hand and whispered, "Grandma, are you awake?"

"I'm sorry, Grandma...," Li Yue'e's emotions were very agitated. "Grandma couldn't even protect the things you gave me..."

What does she mean?

"The things..." Li Yue'e coughed a few times, tears filled her eyes, "the things are gone..."

Ou Yan realized that it was this matter that upset Grandma and quickly reassured her, "It's okay, they are just material possessions. If you like them, I'll buy them for you again."

"No, no..." Li Yue'e's voice carried a hint of sadness, "They must have been taken away by them..."

Even if she bought new ones, they would still be taken away!

"Don't get upset." Ou Yan comforted softly, "Your body is too weak right now. Close your eyes and have a good rest. When you wake up, the things will come back."

Li Yue'e knew she had the ability to get them back. Her skills were trained specially. She could handle not only ordinary people but even assassins...

But Li Yue'e didn't want to trouble her. "Don't bother, don't go find them..."

As she spoke, she coughed up another mouthful of blood, frightening the nearby young nurse who instinctively covered her mouth.

She had just started her internship, and seeing such a bloody scene, she felt her scalp tingling.

But Ou Yan seemed accustomed to such scenes, gently wiped the blood from the corners of the old lady's mouth with a tissue, and stroked her heart.

"Stay calm."

With her company, Li Yue'e's mood improved slightly, but she still felt sad about the things she had lost.

That gemstone flower, it must have been painstakingly searched for by Yan Yan.

And that new phone, although it didn't look like a famous brand, Li Yue'e knew that its operating system was simple and user-friendly, and its price must not have been cheap.

And that bracelet, made of high-quality jade, it should be a design personally crafted by Yan Yan, and she loved it so much...

Unexpectedly, in the end, they were all taken away, not leaving anything for her!

During this period, she was bored and lonely in the ward, but she managed to get through each day because of these things' companionship.

"Don't be sad, I will definitely get them back for you."

Ou Yan comforted her again, and seeing the old lady's emotions gradually calming down and the data on the instruments returning to normal, Tang Yiyang took the two directors and the young nurse and left.

Both directors marveled at Ou Yan's medical skills. This wasn't the first time they had seen Ou Yan save someone.

"If the hospital could have such talents, then our position in the top three hospitals in the country would definitely be secure."

"Indeed, the rising tide of the Yangtze River pushes the waves ahead. The younger generation is formidable!"

...

"The person who took away the old lady's things seems to be her own son? What a jerk! Being human, he's doing things no better than animals!" The newly arrived young nurse followed behind Tang Yiyang, clenching her fists in indignation for the old lady.

"Calling him an animal would be an insult to animals," Tang Yiyang replied casually. "Next time they come, remember to let me know."

Just now, seeing the urgency and concern in Ou Yan's eyes, his heart clenched too.

He didn't want to see the little girl worried.

"No problem." The young nurse followed Tang Yiyang's steps and asked gossipingly, "Dr. Tang, is that girl your girlfriend? You two seem to match each other well! Is she the high school student who saved Mr. Si before? How could someone so young have such superb medical skills? Is it hereditary?"

The young nurse kept asking all the way.

Tang Yiyang remembered the last time in the hospital, that cold and handsome face. If you talk about being a match, it seems that person is more compatible with Ou Yan...

His medical skills had often been outdone by the little girl in the past six months.

Like today, he thought Mrs. Li's condition could only be solved with surgery, but Ou Yan came and solved it with just a few needles.

He felt quite distant from Ou Yan.

"Dr. Tang, do you work overtime every day and don't spend time with your girlfriend?" The young nurse continued to ask incessantly.

No one knew that he worked overtime every day to make his medical skills more exquisite, at least to be closer to the little girl.

After Li Yue'e fell asleep, Ou Yan gently covered her with a blanket.

In the Grandma Bai's hand, she still tightly held a thin long bracelet, the first gift Ou Yan gave her after earning money.

It was probably too thin, and Xu Aiqin thought it wasn't valuable, so she didn't take it.

When Grandma Bai said she woke up, Xu Aiqin and they were already in the ward. After a while, they left, and when Grandma Bai reached under the pillow again, she couldn't find the thing!

This is a VIP ward, and there are surveillance cameras outside. Thieves couldn't come in and search under the old lady's pillow, and then leave openly.

No other relatives or friends knew about Grandma Bai being hospitalized here. The only ones who usually came to visit her were either her or the Bai family.

So, the things must have been taken away by the Bai family.

  Chapter 122: Robbing the Execution Ground (1)

Time flew by, and in just a few days, the main house of the Mo family had been built, waiting for the other houses to be completed before the roof could be raised. However, despite several days passing, the arsonist still remained elusive.

To prevent further sabotage, Mo Yan had someone move the rafters and purlins piled up in the village to the construction site. The newly purchased wooden beams were also stored together with those, covered with tarpaulin to protect them from water. With Xiao Hua watching over, anyone thinking of causing trouble would have to think twice.

Unable to find the arsonist, Mo Yan felt extremely frustrated. She always suspected whether it was the Old Mo family who had done it, with Mo Yonglu, who had recently been released from prison, being the most likely suspect. However, lacking evidence, all she could do was suspect, and it was impossible for her to boldly confront them.

One day, as Mo Yan was preparing to go out to see if there were any fruit seedlings for sale, shopkeeper Xing came over with Xiao Zhu.

"Shopkeeper Xing, what brings you here?" 

Inviting them to sit in the main hall, Mo Yan asked curiously. Today wasn't the day they had agreed upon for them to come and take the Spirit Spring water.

Shopkeeper Xing cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Miss Mo, it seems that the medicine water doesn't have any effect. Master asked me to come and inquire about it."

"No effect?" Mo Yan was puzzled, but she soon understood the reason. She explained, "Your master's friend had a weak body, and I was worried that he couldn't bear the medicinal power. That's why I suggested diluting the water with a cup of water for a bath. Now that it's not effective, it means his body is improving, and the medicinal power needs to be increased."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Xing was relieved. "I see! Then, Miss, what should we do next?"

Mo Yan smiled. "Just add more medicine water! This kind of medicine water can be drunk directly. If the body is too weak, then bathing and gradually adjusting is necessary."

The fact that he could absorb the nearly negligible spiritual energy from vegetables to detoxify indicated that the person's body had deteriorated to an extreme point. It could only be gradually detoxified with diluted Spirit Spring water first to make it bearable and not suffer.

Shopkeeper Xing thanked her repeatedly. After sitting for a while and not seeing Xiao Hua come out to wander around, he asked.

By now, Mo Yan knew that Xiao Hua was owned by Yan Junyu. Seeing Shopkeeper Xing asking about it, she felt a little embarrassed and explained the matter of the wood being burned and having Xiao Hua look after it.

Shopkeeper Xing didn't think much of it. Although the snow wolf had been raised by Master since childhood, it wasn't a master-pet relationship. Master had never thought of claiming the snow wolf as his own. If the snow wolf chose to follow Miss Mo, then that was its choice.

However, he didn't expect that with the proud temperament of the snow wolf, even if Master wanted to command it, he would have to coax it like a lord first. Now, it willingly followed a young girl's orders. It seemed that Miss Mo was indeed extraordinary.

Mo Yan didn't know Shopkeeper Xing's thoughts and wanted to inquire about the fruit seedlings. She asked, "Shopkeeper Xing, with your extensive knowledge, do you know where to buy seedlings of apples, oranges, and similar fruits?"

"Selling fruit seedlings?" Shopkeeper Xing was taken aback. "Miss, do you want to plant fruit trees?"

Mo Yan nodded, feeling a little embarrassed. "I've always loved to eat those sweet and sour fruits, but they are rarely seen on the market. So, I want to try planting them myself."

 Chapter 853: I Am from the Lu Family

Shu Yu rubbed her chin and realized that, based on what the woman said, she seemed to be a heinous criminal.

Da Ya was furious and was about to argue with the woman, but Shu Yu held her back.

Zhou Qiao also frowned and patiently said to the woman, "Second Aunt, these are all rumors from outside. Don't believe everything you hear. Da Niu has told me that when Ah Yu's maternal family wanted to sell Da Hu and San Ya, she just carried an axe to their doorstep to scare them. But she didn't actually harm them. It was the master of the Yu family who sent someone to break her uncle's leg. And as for Da Ya..."

However, the woman had no intention of listening to her explanation and waved her hand. "You've really been brainwashed by Da Niu. You believe whatever he says. I am your Second Aunt, do you think I would harm you? Your mother passed away, and your father doesn't understand these matters. It's only me, your Second Aunt, who worries about you. Yet, you... you're so ignorant. Let me tell you, now that the truth is on your side, you should tell Da Niu to either cut ties with his second uncle's family or divorce you. They're the ones in the wrong and should compensate you."

"That's impossible!" Zhou Qiao said angrily. "Second Aunt, just leave. I'm busy, so I won't entertain you."

"Busy? Look at your shop, not a single customer. Ever since that Second Miss was exiled, your shop has had no business."

"Who said we have no business?" Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind.

The woman abruptly turned her head and realized that there were two young girls standing behind her. She had been so engrossed in her own words that she hadn't noticed.

Zhou Qiao's expression also changed. She had been standing behind the counter and her aunt had blocked her view, so she hadn't noticed the arrival of customers.

She didn't know how much the young girls had heard, but she hoped they wouldn't misunderstand.

She quickly came out from behind the counter and said to Shu Yu and Da Ya, "Are you two here to buy clothes? Come in and take a look. Our shop has the most fashionable clothes at reasonable prices. With your good looks, anything you try on will suit you."

Shu Yu and Da Ya stepped into the shop but didn't follow Zhou Qiao's lead to go inside. Instead, they looked at the woman beside them and smiled. "You're quite cunning with your calculations, aren't you?"

The woman was taken aback and then realized that her earlier words had been overheard by the other party. She immediately became angry and spoke, "Who are you? Eavesdropping behind people's backs and still have the nerve to show your face? Acting like a ghost standing there, I don't know what deceitful things you're up to."

Zhou Qiao's expression changed. "Second Aunt!"

The woman sneered. "What's the matter? Did I say something wrong? We're discussing our own family matters. Do we need others to interfere?"

"Our own family matters?" Shu Yu sneered. "You're meddling in the Lu family's affairs, and I am from the Lu family. How is it not my concern?"

Both the woman and Zhou Qiao were astonished. "You... you said you're from the Lu family? Who are you? I've never seen you before."

"Unfortunately for you, I am the person you referred to as the one who committed a crime and was exiled thousands of miles away. I am the Second Miss of the Lu family, Lu Erbai's daughter. And this is my sister, Da Ya. Is that clear enough?" Da Ya took a step forward and stared at the woman.

The woman's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at her. "You... you are..."

"That's right, I am their sister," Da Ya said coldly. "This is Ah Yu, and I am Da Ya. Our father is Lu Erbai, and our eldest cousin is Lu Daniu. Is that clear?"

The woman was shocked. "You... you..."

She pointed a finger and stammered, "Weren't you exiled?"

 Chapter 187: Just Like a Little Hedgehog

When Bai Zhenhai said this, He Ning was dumbfounded. This was the father of President Ou??

What's going on?

Previously, the assistant to the headquarters' Boss Li had instructed him to take good care of President Ou on a daily basis, saying that President Ou was Boss Li's own younger sister!

In other words, President Ou's real father was Li Yuanfu!

So where did this man come from??

He actually claimed to be her father...

Ou Yan couldn't be bothered to look at him, and she was about to walk towards the company when Bai Zhenhai hurriedly stopped her.

"Yan Yan, this is the chocolate cake that Dad bought for you on the way here, bought at that expensive dessert shop, you should know the reputation of that shop, Dad personally queued up for it..."

Upon hearing this, He Ning was touched, but at the same time, he felt that the people around President Ou were super nice, always buying her expensive snacks, and even queuing up themselves...

He was about to compliment them, but he heard President Ou's indifferent voice.

"The thing I hate the most is chocolate."

Bai Zhenhai's face stiffened, and he hurriedly said, "How come I remember that you loved chocolate the most? Could it be that your taste has changed as you grew up..."

"It's Bai Muyao who loves it the most." Ou Yan added coldly, "From childhood to adulthood, chocolate has always been the thing I hate the most, without exception."

Now, Bai Zhenhai was even more embarrassed, hurriedly taking out a wallet from his pocket, taking out several hundred yuan bills, "Take this money and buy something you like for yourself. I'm sorry, Dad bought the wrong thing..."

Ou Yan calmly avoided his touch, "Cut the crap and speak up."

He Ning was stunned: It seems that President Ou really dislikes this middle-aged man, she looks very impatient with him.

"Yan Yan, last time you accompanied the designer to participate in the competition, Dad knew you were working here. He came today because he wanted..." Bai Zhenhai's words hadn't finished yet, and he suddenly noticed He Ning next to them, and asked in confusion, "Yan Yan, is this your colleague?"

"Oh no, I'm President Ou's assistant, He Ning, you can just call me Xia He..." Before He Ning finished speaking, he received Ou Yan icy warning gaze, and he dared not continue.

Bai Zhenhai looked at Ou Yan in surprise, "You've risen from a small assistant to the position of CEO? And you have your own assistant?"

He Ning: ???

Ou Yan: ...

"Since that's the case, you should help Dad even more!" Bai Zhenhai put away his wallet and explained his intentions, "The investment from Ou Yan's side has been withdrawn, several major groups have announced that they will no longer cooperate with us, and recently, several processing companies have also terminated their contracts. Dad wants to ask you for help, to lead our company in cooperation..."

Ou Yan: ???

"I heard that your production has skyrocketed recently, and there are too many orders to complete, you can give some to us..."

Ou Yan understood his intention and sarcastically said, "Did you hit your head on the way here? Or did all the rain that didn't fall recently go into your head? Are you sick and not going to the hospital, but coming to me to act crazy?"

"You..."

Although Bai Zhenhai knew that he would be scolded by her when he came to find her this time, he didn't expect her to scold him so harshly in front of her assistant.

Ou Yan was about to enter the company, and Bai Zhenhai once again stopped her.

"Yan Yan, even if you don't consider Dad's face, at least think about your grandmother? You ask yourself, has your grandmother been good to you in these years? Do you repay her kindness? Now that the Bai family is in trouble, do you care? It's just asking you for some orders, not asking you for alimony!"

Ou Yan impatiently interrupted him, "Where do you get the nerve to say these things to me?"

"Yan Yan! Just consider it a favor to Dad, even if you don't want to give us some orders, at least give us a few designs."

Designs??

"You are the CEO now, let your designer Yin design a few new styles for us for free, and we can sell them together as a joint venture! If you don't want to cooperate with us, you can let us sell them separately!"

Ou Yan: ???

Sell jointly, which means cooperating with the Bai family company and helping them gain popularity...

Let them sell separately, all the money goes into their pockets??

Design styles for free to help them make money? It's hard to say such words without a brain hemorrhage.

"He Ning, go call the security guards and tell them there's a lunatic here talking nonsense."

He Ning hurried to call the security guards.

As soon as Ou Yan entered the company, she saw Bai Zhenhai about to follow, and coldly warned, "If you dare to take one step forward again, the Bai family will be done today!"

"You..."

Although he knew she didn't have the ability, her aura still made people uncomfortable...

Seeing Ou Yan walking inside, Bai Zhenhai shouted loudly, "Dad is waiting for you at home. Whenever you calm down and figure it out, come home to find Dad. Dad will have someone make delicious food for you!"

Ou Yan pressed the elevator button and walked in.

"Don't forget, come home whenever you're free..." Bai Zhenhai saw the elevator doors close, then turned and walked towards the Maybach.

Xu Aiqin and Bai Muyao in the car watched him suffer, itching with hatred.

"This dead girl, becoming the CEO of a small company, look at how proud she is! I don't know what tricks she used to become like this, still having the nerve to show off in front of us..." Xu Aiqin was furious.

"Dad, Mom, don't be angry, sister is a very kind person, I believe she will figure it out sooner or later... Let's go home and wait for news in peace." Bai Muyao comforted them understandingly.

Xu Aiqin looked at her daughter, feeling much more pleased, much stronger than that Ou Yan, who knows how many times better she is!

Bai Zhenhai also found that only Yao Yao was his close little cotton-padded jacket, that Ou Yan, was simply like a little hedgehog!

Every time you try to get close, you'll prick yourself!

Not even a biological daughter!

Just as Ou Yan returned to the office, her phone vibrated.

"Xiao Yan, come to the hospital quickly, Grandma's condition has worsened."

  Chapter 186 Two Dads?

"Mom..."

Before Bai Zhenhai could say anything else, he heard her roar, "Get out!"

"Mom!" Xu Aiqin was unwilling and angrily questioned, "You're not taking it out now, are you planning to leave it to that dead girl?"

"It's my business who I want to leave it to. It's none of your concern! If you don't leave now, I'll call someone!"

Seeing Li Yue'e getting agitated, coughing seven or eight times, Bai Zhenhai pulled Xu Aiqin and forcibly dragged her out of the hospital room.

"Alright, what's the point of shouting at Mom? If you really anger her, we won't get anything from her!"

"Why wouldn't we get anything?" There was a hint of fierceness in Xu Aiqin's eyes. "When the old lady dies, as her only son, inheriting her property should be a matter of course, shouldn't it?"

She wished the old lady would die soon, so she wouldn't have to run to the hospital every few days.

"I'm afraid she's already made a will in advance!" Bai Zhenhai lowered his voice, "Even if she hasn't, don't forget, Yan Yan is about to turn eighteen. Once her birthday passes, if the old lady transfers everything to her name, we won't get anything!"

Xu Aiqin suddenly felt that made sense!

No, she had to make sure the old lady handed over everything to Bai Zhenhai or Yao Yao before Yan Yan's birthday.

That dead girl shouldn't benefit!

"Let's go." Bai Zhenhai grabbed Xu Aiqin's hand and sighed, "We'll come back when Mom calms down."

"Don't pull me. It's embarrassing in front of so many people."

They took a few steps forward and found Bai Muyao still standing there, with tears of grievance in her eyes.

Bai Zhenhai turned back and asked in confusion, "Yao Yao, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Muyao's tears slid down just right, and she pitifully said, "Grandma only has Sister in her heart... It's because I didn't do well enough, not enough, so I couldn't make Grandma like me. Dad, I'm sorry, I've embarrassed you..."

As she said this, her voice was full of tears.

Bai Zhenhai's heart twitched. He went over to comfort her, "It's not your fault. You've done well enough. It's Yanyan, who knows what she did..."

Usually, she must have been very attentive. The old lady liked this kind of thing the most!

"We're usually busy and didn't come over, letting people take advantage of us." Bai Zhenhai thought so.

Bai Muyao raised her tearful eyes and innocently asked, "Is it just as long as I learn from Sister and come to visit Grandma often, even if Grandma scolds me, I endure it silently, will Grandma like me? If so, I'll come every day!"

"What can you learn from that dead girl? She's not even as good as a strand of your hair!" Xu Aiqin stepped forward and pulled her hand, "Let's go home. Mom will have someone cook bird's nest for you..."

"We can't go home now. I have an idea..." Bai Zhenhai suddenly leaned in and whispered something in Xu Aiqin's ear.

...

Just as Ou Yan arrived at the company's entrance, several people rushed up to her.

"Miss Ou Yan, hello. I'm Xiao Yang, assistant to Vice President of the Huaguo Clothing Association and renowned designer Cui Yu. I don't know if you have time to listen to me for a few words?"

The speaker was a girl in her twenties who seemed to have just graduated from college, with a hint of youthfulness on her face.

"You may speak." Ou Yan's tone was calm, her expression even more composed.

Xiao Yang was surprised. Normally, hearing the title of Cui Yu, this little girl should be amazed, right?

But the girl seemed calm, as if she had seen a lot of the world...

Now Xiao Yang felt embarrassed and quickly explained, "Well, the thing is, you accompanied Designer Yin to participate in the national design competition before. Your design talent, President Cui appreciates it. She said it's a pity for you to be just an assistant, and she wants to personally take you under her wing, let you shine in the world of design! Are you interested?"

"A vice president of an association dares to come and poach people?" 

At this moment, a polite young man with glasses approached, "Miss Ou Yan, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Xiao Jin, the secretary of Lin Hao, the honorary president of the Asian Fashion Organization. I'd like to invite you to join our united and friendly organization..."

"Hello, Miss Ou Yan, I'm the editor-in-chief of an international fashion magazine..."

As they one by one expressed their intentions to Ou Yan, before she could refuse, He Ning appeared.

"President Ou Yan, I heard you were here. I have something urgent... Oh, who are they??" He Ning looked puzzledly at the seven or eight people in front of him.

The seven or eight people also froze, asking in unison, "Ou Yan, President Ou Yan??"

Isn't she just the assistant to Designer Yin?

How come she sounds so big? ??

"President Ou, are you discussing business?" He Ning thought he had disturbed them and looked at Ou Yan, whispering, "Should we invite them up? Are they from one company? Or several companies?"

Looking at their attire, it seems they're not from the same group...

There have been many people coming to discuss cooperation with them recently...

"Isn't she Designer Yin's assistant?" One of them couldn't help asking He Ning.

He Ning was stunned for a moment, "No, President Ou is just accompanying Designer Yin to the competition, giving her courage and confidence. President Ou is the head of our company..."

Now everyone suddenly realized: no wonder they threw out the olive branch, this little girl didn't take it.

Someone as talented as her, shouldn't Li Ming's headquarters have given her a lot of salary? Can make her stay here firmly...

"Miss Ou Yan, if you are willing to join our organization, the treatment we offer is three times what you have now..."

"We can offer five times!"

"What we can give is fame and status! I believe you also love this industry and want to shine in the design world, so you stay in this company to work?"

"Instead of staying in such a small company, it's better to go out and let everyone see your design talent!"

"Have you heard of President Cui Yu's fame?"

Oh, I haven't heard of it.

"I'm just working part-time for the summer." Ou Yan said lightly, "I don't intend to shine."

What she truly loves, probably only medical research can bring it to her.

"Here, this is my business card. If you change your mind one day, feel free to call me anytime, no matter how late it is or whether it's a weekend, I'll answer!"

"Me too! Here's my contact information."

"And mine."

Everyone left their business cards.

Out of politeness, Ou Yan reached out and took them. After they left, she asked her assistant next to her, "Is there something they need from me?"

"President President Ou Yan, it's like this..." He Ning hadn't spoken yet when he heard someone calling President Ou Yan's name.

He followed the sound and saw a Maybach S680 parked at the entrance of their company. The middle-aged man who got out of the car looked prosperous, obviously a wealthy man.

"Yan Yan, Dad has something to discuss with you."
