Before the doctor arrived, Ou ZhenTing gripped his wifeâs hand tightly, reassuring her over and over, "Ning Shu, nothingâs going to happen, nothing at all, youâll be fine soon, very soon!"
While consoling his wife, Ou ZhenTing kept turning his head, pressing repeatedly, "Whereâs the doctor, why hasnât the doctor come yet?"
Those who had been in high positions for a long time could be very intimidating when angry, even to those who knew them well.
Ou Lianlian twisted the hem of her clothing with her fingers, involuntarily taking a few steps back, becoming even more resolute in her earlier decision that she must find a way to leave the Ou Family!
"The, the doctor will be here soon..." Ou Lianlian forced a smile, her voice trembling.
At that moment, anyone who appeared before Ou ZhenTing would probably look displeasing to him. Just as he was about to scold someone, his wife called out to him softly.
"Zhen Ting, Zhen Ting, I saw Jiao Jiao..." Mrs. Ouâs body shook slightly, tears streaming ceaselessly from her eyes.
"Jiao Jiao?" Hearing his wifeâs words, Ou ZhenTing was startled, "You, you saw her?"
"Are you sure that was Jiao Jiao?" Gu Zhenqing asked somewhat uncertainly.
Mrs. Ou nodded, clutching her husbandâs hand with the back of her own, took a couple of deep breaths, and said, "Zhen Ting, listen to me, Iâm going to ask you a couple of questions, donât lie to me."
"You tell me, has she, Jiao Jiao, been found by you all?" Mrs. Ouâs eyes fixed intently on her husband.
Faced with his wifeâs question, Ou ZhenTing suddenly didnât know how to respond.
He still remembered the doctorâs advice not to agitate his wife.
Yet, having been married to Xie Ningshu for so many years, just his expression alone was enough to make her suspicious.
"So, is it true?" Mrs. Ou quickly grew excited.
Ou ZhenTing quickly patted his wife, trying to calm her, "Ning Shu, you know... over these many years, weâve found many true and false leads."
"So, I wonât lie to you, indeed weâve recently found someone who could possibly be Jiao Jiao, but we havenât been able to fully confirm it yet..."
Ou ZhenTing spoke cautiously, afraid his wife would get overly agitated,
However, before he could finish his sentence, his wife started to get excited.
"Itâs her, it must be her!" Mrs. Ou couldnât help but try to sit up from the bed.
"She must be Jiao Jiao! Definitely Jiao Jiao!" Mrs. Ouâs eyes sparkled with certainty.
"Alright, alright, yes, yes... Ning Shu, can you please stay calm for now?" Ou ZhenTing quickly tried to soothe his wife.
But how could Mrs. Ou, having waited for so many years, not be excited?
"Zhen Ting, do you know? Jiao Jiao, she looks just like my mother when she was young!" Mrs. Ou said, tears falling from her eyes again.
"âMotherâ?" Ou ZhenTing was slightly surprised at her words.
Mrs. Ou knew what surprised him and shook her head at him, saying, "I mean my mother, Jiao Jiaoâs grandmother."
"What?" Ou ZhenTing was stunned, "Jiao Jiao resembles the mother-in-law?"
He had seen Ou Jiao once or twice; how had he not noticed?
Seeing his doubt, Mrs. Ou hurriedly explained, "You have never seen Jiao Jiaoâs grandmother when she was young, so itâs normal that you canât tell. Jiao Jiaoâs grandmother hasnât left many photos..."
"Anyway, make sure that it is Jiao Jiao!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Ou became excited again.
And having listened to his wifeâs words, Ou ZhenTing felt incredibly unsettled inside.
