The medicine was just being changed, and someone came up behind Ou Yanan, calling out, "Brother Ou, right?"

Nala looked up, not recognizing who this young girl was.

Ou Yanan finished bandaging the injured person, then turned his head to see Zhu Jiayin. No, at first, he didn’t remember her name, he just felt she looked familiar.

Zhu Jiayin saw his expression and knew he didn’t recognize her. She smiled wryly, with a bit of self-mockery: "Brother Ou only remembers my older cousin, I guess you don’t even remember who Yueting is."

"You are—"

"My mother is the fourth daughter of the Xiao Family. My name is Zhu Jiayin."

Seeing that they were acquaintances, Nala walked away. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Zhu Jiayin invited Ou Yanan, "Let’s have lunch together, Brother Ou."

At the time, Ou Yanan was thinking that it seemed like Gu Nuan and the others had been discussing the fourth daughter of the Xiao Family before. It was said that this fourth daughter had been unreachable, and no one knew what had happened.

He accepted Zhu Jiayin’s invitation, and they went to a fast-food restaurant and ordered two business meals. Ou Yanan sent a text to Gu Nuan on the way, saying he wouldn’t be home for lunch today.

Zhu Jiayin watched him texting, with a slightly sour tone: "Texting my older cousin?"

"No, your older cousin has returned to the country," Ou Yanan said.

"Oh," Zhu Jiayin seemed to remember, "No wonder I saw her here some time ago and now I don’t."

Ou Yanan used a knife and fork to pick up the pork chop.

Zhu Jiayin looked at his hands, then at his face, and said, "Brother Ou seems to have become more handsome."

"Hmm?" Ou Yanan seemed to not quite understand her words.

Zhu Jiayin smiled, "Several of us sisters all liked Brother Ou at the same time back then. It’s just that Brother Ou didn’t know. By the way, I heard my older cousin’s engagement with Brother Ou was called off."

"Yes." Ou Yanan didn’t hide it. He wasn’t ashamed of his background as a former member of the Gu Family.

He couldn’t choose his family of birth, and besides, the Gu Family hadn’t done anything wrong.

Zhu Jiayin only heard that one word from him to know that everything she had heard was true, and she sighed, "Even so, Brother Ou is still only thinking about my older cousin, right? I wonder what kind of person the real Young Master Ou is. Have you met him, Brother Ou?"

Ou Yanan shook his head: "No."

"Really. I really want to see what kind of person he is. Although I know that even if the Ou Family continues to want to marry a daughter from the Xiao Family, it definitely wouldn’t be my turn; it would still be my older cousin first." Zhu Jiayin tilted her head back, speaking as if to herself.

Ou Yanan was not interested in what she was saying, he only asked, "Did you come alone?"

"Yes."

"And your mother?"

"My mother?" Zhu Jiayin was curious about why he asked this.

"I heard before that your mother always accompanied you."

Hearing this, Zhu Jiayin laughed: "How old am I this year, how could my mother always be with me? Besides—"

Besides?

Zhu Jiayin didn’t say anything else, but it seemed that Ou Yanan could hear her whispering to herself, saying: It doesn’t matter if there’s no mother.

It seemed like something bad had really happened to the fourth daughter of the Xiao Family.

Ou Yanan thought for a moment, then said, "After lunch, do you want to go to your uncle and aunt’s place?"

"Hmm?"

"Your uncle and aunt are in Hollywood, didn’t you know?"

Zhu Jiayin seemed stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered her head: "No need."
