Chapter 732: Chapter 732: Ou Lianlian’s Curse

As soon as Ou Lianlian spoke, she realized her expression was wrong—how could this be her expression upon finding Ou Jiao?

So, Ou Lianlian quickly forced a fake smile and cautiously asked Ou Jun, “Big brother, have you really found Jiao Jiao?”

Ou Lianlian’s face bore an “expectant” look.

“No.” At that moment, Ou Jun had already controlled his expression, deliberately saying, “Searching for Jiao Jiao is like looking for a needle in the ocean, results won’t come so soon.”

He said this to divert Ou Lianlian’s attention.

“Oh, is that so…” Upon hearing his words, Ou Lianlian put on a disappointed look and said, “That’s really too bad.”

But in her heart, she was thinking: Too bad? Not at all!

It would be best if Ou Jiao never returned for the rest of her life! Best if she were dead!

Seeing that Ou Lianlian harbored no suspicion, Ou Jun’s gaze drifted into the distance before he continued, “There’s nothing to regret. As long as we search diligently, one day, we will find Jiao Jiao.”

His words carried a deeper meaning.

However, Ou Lianlian didn’t understand the subtext behind Ou Jun’s words, instead thinking to herself: Keep searching? What’s the point? After so many years, if they haven’t found a person, chances are, she’s probably dead already!

Right, that “Ou Jiao” is long dead! Ou Lianlian cursed inwardly.

Goddess of Mercy, Tathagata Buddha, let Ou Jiao die! Ou Lianlian “prayed” in her heart.

Yet her mouth was saying, “Mmm, I believe in big brother, you will certainly find her!”

“Most definitely!” Ou Jun, without doubt, affirmed earnestly.

Meanwhile, the dismissed Cao Guihua dialed a call to Ling County.

“Lanlan, the Ou Family has found the real Ou Jiao, they have found the real Ou Jiao, what should I do?” Cao Guihua asked frantically on the phone to Xia Lan.

“What do you mean they found the real Ou Jiao?” Xia Lan also became panicked upon hearing Cao Guihua’s words.

Isn’t the real Ou Jiao Xia Chuyi?

Had the Ou Family already found Xia Chuyi?

Xia Lan felt somewhat panicked.

If the Ou Family had truly found Ou Jiao, this would not bode well for Xia Lan!

Suddenly, a gleam of insight flashed in Xia Lan’s eyes, and she asked, “Did they ask you any messy questions?”

“Ah, what do you mean?” Cao Guihua replied confusedly, “No, they didn’t.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Lan slightly relaxed.

It seemed, for the moment, the Ou Family did not suspect her.

The main issue concerned the baby’s swaddling clothes.

Cao Guihua was foolish enough to believe that the swaddling clothes had been found in her own house.

But if someone like Ou Jun and others were to simply inquire, they would realize the matter of the swaddling clothes was full of loopholes.

She, Xia Lan, would never allow such a situation to arise!

Clasping her fists tightly and biting her lip in thought, Xia Lan took a deep breath, and then another, before finally saying, “It’s nothing, I just think that, actually… you shouldn’t give up.”

Xia Lan then deliberately spoke to Cao Guihua with earnest concern, “If the Ou Family could adopt Ou Lianlian, they naturally could adopt you as well. You may not share blood ties with the Ou Family, but you have a strong bond of kinship with them, you…”

Xia Lan went on to brainwash Cao Guihua in this manner.

Having been so persuaded, Cao Guihua felt tempted and hastily said, “I feel the same, but each time I go to the Ou Family, they kick me out…”

The implication was clear; this would be difficult to accomplish.

Hearing this, Xia Lan gave a “gentle” smile and said, “Don’t worry, I have a way to help you.”
