"Dad, Mom, big brother, Chuyi... I’m sorry!" At this mont, Second Young Master Ou said, "Back then, if it wasn’t for my mistake, my sister wouldn’t have been taken by traffickers, and our family wouldn’t have been separated for so many years..."
Xia Chuyi: ... She seems to have heard this many tis before?
Ou ZhenTing replied, "Alright, alright, your sister is back, what’s the point of saying all this now?"
"I think you should fix that problem of thinking with your hair instead of your brain!" Ou ZhenTing bared his teeth and scolded his second son.
Ever since Ou Cong took it upon himself to submit the exchange application form for Xia Chuyi, Ou ZhenTing found his second son increasingly disagreeable.
"Dad, why do you always say that about ?" Ou Cong protested, "My decision was right from the beginning, see, didn’t Chuyi end up deciding to go?"
"It shows that Chuyi wanted to go from the start!"
"So, Dad, your initial decision had issues!"
"Hey, you little rascal!" Ou ZhenTing couldn’t take it anymore, pointing at Ou Cong, "Get over here, let’s see if I won’t beat you up!"
Ou Cong was used to being hit, so he quickly darted away, hiding behind Xia Chuyi, smiling ingratiatingly at her, "See, sister, isn’t your second brother the one who cares for you the most in this family?"
As for Mrs. Ou and Ou Jun, they couldn’t bear to listen anymore.
"Second son, what are you saying? Do you not want to have New Year’s Eve dinner?" Mrs. Ou frowned, speaking displeasedly to her second son.
"Dad, I’ll help you catch him." Ou Jun was more direct; he put down his chopsticks and rolled up his sleeves, ready to seize Ou Cong.
"Oh co on, brother, how can you be Dad’s accomplice?" Seeing Ou Jun was serious, Ou Cong imdiately ran, but no matter how he ran, he couldn’t run out of the house, could he?
In the end, Second Young Master Ou was caught and got a beating on New Year’s Eve.
Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but laugh as she watched.
But because of this, the house was much more lively.
The slightly lancholic atmosphere vanished.
After finishing the New Year’s Eve dinner, Xia Chuyi started making phone calls one by one to send her regards.
The first call she made was to Ling County.
The mont the phone connected, even before the first ring had finished, the other end picked up.
"Hello, is that Chuyi? Is it Chuyi?" Xia Chuyi heard Aunt Xia’s anxious voice on the other end.
Xia Chuyi could imagine her uncle and aunt waiting by the phone for her call.
"Yes." Xia Chuyi responded softly, "It’s ."
"Uncle, aunt, are things okay on your side?"
Then, Xia Chuyi carefully inquired about the specific situation in Ling County.
"Everything’s fine, you don’t have to worry." Aunt Xia said, "Today is New Year’s Eve, spend more ti with your parents over there, don’t let them feel like you’re always thinking about us here."
Then, they kept urging Xia Chuyi to hang up.
Though they said that, over in Ling County, Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia couldn’t bear to hang up.
anwhile, not far behind Xia Chuyi, Ou ZhenTing watched Xia Chuyi speaking so affectionately with the people in Ling County and looked at her with complex feelings.
Ou ZhenTing felt sowhat jealous.
The missing twenty years are difficult to make up for.
Yet at the sa ti, there’s so relief.
Thankfully, in those earlier years, Xia Chuyi had people over there who treated her well and were close to her.
In short, Ou ZhenTing’s feelings were very complex.
