And besides, even if they did see such a person, could it be that his mother’s sickness caused her to see wrong, mistaking a passerby for Jiao Jiao?
Ou Jun’s heart was filled with doubts.
In any case, it was essential to doubt boldly and verify carefully.
He, as well as the Ou Family, simply couldn’t afford another case of mistaken identity.
Ou Jun nodded at his subordinate, waved his hand, and gestured for them to leave.
"Yes!" The subordinate, upon receiving Ou Jun’s orders, stood at attention, saluted, and responded loudly.
Then, he turned and left the study.
After dismissing his subordinate, Ou Jun, alone, supported his forehead with his hand and sat in solitude for a good while.
For 20 years, the Ou Family had been searching for Jiao Jiao for nearly 20 years, ti and again, always identifying the wrong person...
A quiet doubt began to rise in a corner of Ou Jun’s heart: would they ever find Jiao Jiao in this lifeti?
anwhile, along the corridor of the Ou Family house, the sound of two won arguing could be heard.
"Jiao Jiao, oh, that’s not right, I should call myself Guihua first." Ou Lianlian, facing Cao Guihua standing in the middle of the corridor, piled on a fake smile and deliberately said in a soft voice.
"Ou Lianlian, what do you an?" Upon hearing Ou Lianlian call her Guihua, Cao Guihua beca very angry, pointed at Ou Lianlian, and said, "Are you taking pleasure in my misfortune?"
Hearing Cao Guihua’s words, Ou Lianlian chuckled lightly and said, "Why would I take pleasure in your misfortune?"
"Guihua, I’m not trying to criticize you, but you’d better not lose your temper so carelessly."
"My elder brother, he just wants to clear things up, that’s all."
"After all..." Ou Lianlian purposefully paused before continuing, "after all, parentage isn’t sothing to be mistaken about lightly."
"Ou Lianlian, what nonsense are you spouting?" Cao Guihua beca very angry and rushed over, aiming to hit Ou Lianlian.
Upon seeing this, Ou Lianlian imdiately ran away.
"Jiao Jiao, Jiao Jiao, what are you doing?" Ou Lianlian ran toward the study with a look of fear on her face.
Ou Lianlian ran ahead, and Cao Guihua chased after her, shouting as she ran, "Ou Lianlian, you stop right there!"
The commotion caused by the two was so great that just as they reached the study, the door swung open with a bang.
"What are you doing!" As soon as Ou Jun opened the door, he rebuked them loudly, "If Mother were at ho, wouldn’t you two have caused a ruckus?"
"Sorry, sorry, big brother," Ou Lianlian imdiately bowed her head, pretending to be good and clever.
This was because she knew Lady was not in and dared to behave this way.
Her aim was rely to embarrass Cao Guihua.
Indeed, as soon as Cao Guihua saw Ou Jun, without any respect for him, she pointed a finger at his nose and said, "What are we doing? I should be asking you what you’re doing!"
"Chief Ou, just say it, do you all disdain because I grew up in the countryside, despise my crudeness, and don’t want to acknowledge ?"
"If that’s really the case, then let leave now!" Cao Guihua said angrily and with a look of grievance.
Cao Guihua felt she was the real "Ou Jiao," neglected by her "family," and so, she felt very aggrieved.
Upon hearing this, Ou Jun imdiately furrowed his brow.
With this matter, even though Cao Guihua’s words and actions were always inappropriate, the root cause lay in the Ou Family’s misrecognition.
Seeing Ou Jun fall silent, Ou Lianlian thought he was softening and hurriedly said, "Big brother, don’t be angry, Jiao Jiao didn’t do it on purpose."
"Jiao Jiao, don’t be angry either, big brother only wants to find out the truth."
