"Our Ou Family, itās best if we donāt have too complicated thoughts," Ou Jun said, "If weāre too complicated, then we are not a part of the Ou Family."
Ou Jun spoke suggestively.
Unfortunately, Ou Lianlian was preoccupied with going out to meet Xia Lan, so she didnāt pay much attention. She hurriedly faked a smile and said, "Big brother, I understand... So, I have some matters to attend to, I need to head out. Goodbye, big brother."
Then, Ou Jun watched Ou Lianlianās hurried departing figure, his brow furrowing even deeper.
Ou Jun called his subordinate and instructed, "Follow Miss Lianāer, and report to me immediately if anything happens."
Ou Lianlian was completely unaware that her anxious behavior had aroused Ou Junās suspicions, and he had sent someone to follow her.
When Ou Lianlian arrived at East Gate Bridge as Xia Lan had mentioned, she looked around for a long time but didnāt see Xia Lan.
"That wretch, she actually tricked me!" Just as Ou Lianlian was cursing aloud, a "middle-aged woman" approached her.
"Miss Ou Lianlian..." the woman called softly after coming closer.
Hearing someone call her, Ou Lianlian immediately said irritably, "Who are you? What are you calling me for..."
However, before she could finish speaking, Ou Lianlian exclaimed, "Xia Lan?"
"What are you dressed like this for?" Seeing Xia Lan, Ou Lianlianās expression became even more displeased, "Sneaky and up to no good!"
"Tell me, what do you want me to come here for today?" Ou Lianlian raised her head and spoke directly, "Let me tell you, donāt mention anything about me being the Xia Familyās daughter."
"Thatās right, I may not be the Ou Familyās biological child, but Iām fortunate to be adopted by the Ou Family."
"So, as long as Iām part of the Ou Family, Iām forever family."
Xia Lan chuckled lightly upon hearing this, saying, "Miss Lianāer, donāt be upset, I didnāt say you arenāt part of the Ou Family..."
Upon hearing this, Ou Lianlian immediately retorted, "See, Xia Lan, show your true colors! As I said, I donāt care about any so-called Xia Family, I am Ou Family!"
"So, your nonsense was just to trick me into coming here, right?" At this moment, Ou Lianlianās eyes suddenly shone as she looked at Xia Lan and said, "Tell me, do you want money?"
"If you want money..." Ou Lianlian opened her handbag, took out her wallet, and drew out a banknote she had prepared in advance, saying, "I can give it to you!"
Having said that, she tossed it onto Xia Lanās face.
"Xia Lan, take the money Iāve given you! Now leave!" Ou Lianlian said harshly, "From now on, donāt appear in front of me again, and donāt talk about any of this nonsense!"
Despite Ou Lianlianās insulting way of throwing money onto her face, Xia Lan surprisingly didnāt get angry. She smiled and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Miss Ou... However, what I said is true, and Miss Ou knows that in her heart."
After speaking, Xia Lan picked up the money, put it in her pocket, then turned around and left.
The person following Ou Lianlian went back and reported the incident to Ou Jun.
Ou Jun furrowed his brow, his expression turning cold, and only said, "Keep watching her, and if she doesnāt do anything excessive, no need to report back to me."
"By the way, Deputy Leader, the person on the street with Miss Lianāer looked like Xia Lan," the subordinate suddenly said.
"Xia Lan?" Ou Junās brow furrowed even deeper.
Upon returning to Beijing, his attention had been on Jiao Jiao, and he had forgotten to send someone to investigate Xia Lan.
