CHAPTER 863: CHAPTER 863: A MOTHER’S FAULT FOR NOT DISCIPLINING HER CHILD (3)

However, the situation is different now. Her mother had an accident, her uncle had an accident, both are her closest relatives.

She can’t just sit by and do nothing.

Compared to family, what does love even count for?

She has no interest in going on a matchmaking date with him either.

They’re just putting on a show, and that’s better.

When she felt the gaze of the Ou family couple on her, Zhao Mengjin slightly curved her lips and said to the man opposite, "How should I address you? Dr. Ou, or Young Master Ou?"

Ou Yanan turned his head, looked back at her, and said, "If you don’t mind, you can call me Dr. Ou."

What Dr. Ou?

Upon hearing this, Ou Shihua was the first to express dissatisfaction.

"Just call him Yanan, it’s not a problem," Ou Shihua said, making the decision for his son.

His attitude was markedly different from just now when confronting Gu Nuan and preparing to shift choices to Kang Yueting.

Undoubtedly, the information provided by Gu Nuan had scared Ou Shihua enough.

How could he allow a woman haunted by ghosts to become his son’s wife? What if she cursed his son to death on their wedding night? He only has this one son!

The unlucky incidents from his own marriage were still vivid in his mind.

Kang Yueting stood outside, not far away, just behind a folding screen, but she could clearly hear what Ou Shihua was saying.

Allowing Zhao Mengjin to address him directly by his name Yanan, such an intimate form of address, was approved by Ou Shihua. If Kang Yueting didn’t notice this straightforward statement, she would indeed be a fool.

Immediately, a raging fire burned in her chest.

Oh, you Ou Shihua, I thought you were going to be my future father-in-law. At the airport, I tried so hard to please you. In the end, you are so ungrateful, not only two-timing but also immediately ditching her when you see Zhao Mengjin. Clearly, you’re a womanizer who changes at the sight of beauty.

Perhaps you think her cousin looks prettier than her.

Luckily, she took precautions in advance, and learned they were meeting before even her mother did.

Kang Yueting put on a calm face, only watching as the waiter carrying a tray walked back, she followed him.

Xiao Shuju, who was buried in studying the menu, suddenly realized that Kang Yueting had been gone for a while, so she looked up and scanned the restaurant, almost standing tiptoe.

The restaurant manager, guarding the service desk, noticed her action and came over to inquire, "Third Miss, is there anything you need help with?"

"No, my niece went to the bathroom—"

The restaurant manager turned his head accordingly and pointed to the restroom sign for her.

Finally, Xiao Shuju saw Kang Yueting walking back from the direction of the restroom sign.

"Why did you take so long?" Xiao Shuju stepped away from the dining table and studied Kang Yueting up and down with a worried and anxious look, "Didn’t get an upset stomach, did you?"

She prized her money-making niece very much and couldn’t afford any sudden incidents.

Kang Yueting smiled as if everything was normal and said, "Third Aunt, I haven’t even eaten yet, how could I have an upset stomach? There were just a lot of people lining up in front of the bathroom, so I waited a little longer."

Only then did Xiao Shuju feel relieved.

The two sat down. Xiao Shuju, still worried she might have been exhausted in the toilet, had the manager prepare a very sweet apple juice for Kang Yueting to drink.

The waiter, carrying a plate, walked to Gu Nuan’s table and said, "This is the last dish."

The last dish, a fruit platter, was placed in the center of the table.

For the Ou family couple who had already eaten a full meal of vegetarian dishes, it was really hard to muster much interest for the fruit, which was also a type of produce.
