"I, I don’t know who you’re talking about, Doctor Ou—" Jiali stuttered.
In fact, as soon as Ou Yanan heard the na Gu Nuan, her expression was crystal clear to him.
"Don’t get wrong, I’m not interested in her." Ou Yanan said, "I’m simply interested in who is in her family."
Upon hearing this, Jiali’s eyes lit up. Could it be that he knew that she and Gu Nuan were relatives and was using Gu Nuan as a pretext to get close to her? Hence, Jiali’s attitude instantly changed 180 degrees and she said, "Doctor Ou, yes, yes, yes, I have a cousin nad Gu Nuan, but I’m not sure if it’s the person you know."
"I think it might be." Ou Yanan’s eyes shimred as he continued, "Could you tell about her family mbers?"
"Gu Nuan’s family? Isn’t it just her parents?" Jiali recalled that Gu Nuan’s mother had stayed at their place for two days recently.
"Doesn’t she have any siblings? Not even one?"
Jiali thought for a mont, and then suddenly rembered sothing her mother kept ntioning a few days ago, a na that popped up out of nowhere. After so probing, she learned the person was deceased. Thus, Jiali said, "She once had a brother."
"Once?"
"Yes. He’s dead. Her brother died," Jiali said, "I didn’t interact much with her when we were kids, and I never t her siblings. But I heard he died of illness, I think."
Ou Yanan instantly understood.
"Okay, thank you."
Thank him? Why? Jiali felt puzzled.
As Ou Yanan turned to leave, Jiali, desperate, called out, "Doctor Ou, don’t you have anything else to say to ?"
Ou Yanan turned back and said, "You and your friend should head back to school quickly. The next ti I see you, I will directly call your school and inform your teachers and parents."
Ah?!
Jiali stood there, wide-eyed: Was that it? Wasn’t he using Gu Nuan to get close to her?
"Doctor Ou, do you know Gu Nuan?"
Jiali’s voice carried across the corridor, imdiately causing Kang Yueting and Zhu Jiayin to exchange puzzled looks.
"Did I hear that wrong? It seems like she called our aunt. What relationship does she have with our aunt?" Zhu Jiayin wondered aloud.
Kang Yueting shook her head blankly: "She seems to have the last na Qiu."
Qiu, Gu? Not the sa last na, doesn’t seem related.
Zhu Jiayin scratched her head vigorously.
Seeing Ou Yanan glance their way, they both quickly ducked, but it was no use. Ou Yanan said to them as well, "If I see you two again, I will inform your family. I know who you are."
Dreadful!
If their mothers found out they were smitten with a poor boy, wouldn’t it be a dead end?
Kang Yueting trembled with fear.
Zhu Jiayin cursed: So cold and ruthless.
But what could they do? This cold, ruthless, handso guy had completely captivated them.
Jiali was probably hit the hardest, having just brimd with hope only for the situation to turn 180 degrees abruptly. Incidentally, those two wealthy sisters must have witnessed the spectacle.
She stomped her foot furiously, her mind growing more restless and indignant by the mont, and picked up the phone to call her mother.
Jiali’s aunt, assuming her daughter was studying at school, was puzzled by the call. Could one make a phone call in the middle of class?
"Hello?" Jiali’s aunt answered the phone, asking, "Who is it?"
