As she spoke, Ou Jue’s mother’s gaze fell on Ou Xiaoluo.
When she saw the wounds on Luoluo, she hurried forward. "Oh my, sweetheart, what happened to you?"
"Auntie, it was this person who broke the plate and hurt Luoluo!" Qiao Qianmo quickly pointed at Xia Xiyan.
In an instant, Ou Jue’s mother’s eyes landed on Xiyan.
A mont of eye contact...
Ou Jue’s mother spoke, "Who are you?"
"Ah, hello Auntie." Xiyan stiffened and stood up. "I am, I am..."
Ou Jue spoke calmly, "Mom, this is my girlfriend."
That one sentence seed to imdiately plunge the atmosphere in the room into freezing coldness—
Just a second ago, Ou Jue’s mother had been smiling gently, but the next mont, it was as if her personality had swiftly shifted.
Thankfully, the treatnts over the past few days had been quite effective. Compared to her previous fits of madness, her current mood was considerably more stable.
But even in her current state, Xiyan couldn’t help but gulp nervously.
W-what’s going on?
"Get out!" Ou Jue’s mother pointed at the villa’s door, glaring coldly at Xiyan.
Her heart seed to tighten in an instant.
Xiyan moved her lips. "A-Auntie..."
"Shut up! Get out of here!" Ou Jue’s mother bellowed with anger, pointing at Xiyan. "Where did you even co from? I will never acknowledge you as my daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law can only be Susan’s child!"
Susan.
That na again.
Seeing Xiyan’s stunned expression, Qiao Qianmo nearly burst with joy. She felt like celebrating on the spot.
Finally, she could take Xia Xiyan down a peg. Did this woman really think she was so prized treasure? Did she actually believe the entire Ou Family adored her?
Seeing her mother-in-law’s attitude, Ou Jue’s grandmother was the first to speak up in Xiyan’s defense. "Oh dear, don’t go scaring my little Xiyan. Besides, can you even be sure we’ll ever locate Susan? And how do you know she’ll even have a child, let alone a daughter?
If we never find Susan, or if she never had a child, are you planning to make sure our little Jue stays single for the rest of his life?"
"Susan will be found; she will definitely have a child!" Ou Jue’s mother declared with fervent determination. "In this lifeti, the only daughter-in-law I will ever accept is Susan’s child. Only she has the right to be the Young Madam of the Ou Family. Anyone else shouldn’t even think about stepping into the Ou Family’s doors!"
Ou Jue tightened his hold on Xiyan’s hand instead of letting go. In fact, he clutched her hand even more firmly. "Mom, it doesn’t matter whether Susan is found or whether she has a daughter. The only woman I, Ou Jue, have acknowledged in this lifeti is Xia Xiyan!"
"I’m your mother! I forbid it!" Ou Jue’s mother’s eyes glimred faintly with crimson.
Susan... She was the lifelong love of Mr. Ling, her savior.
Helping Mr. Ling find Susan had beco the mission of the entire Ou Family!
Seeing this, Qiao Qianmo imdiately clung to Ou Jue’s mother’s arm, turning to look over here as she fanned the flas. "Oh dear, Ou Jue, Cousin’s illness has only just started improving. Are you really trying to anger her again?"
Xiyan was completely dumbfounded at this point—was that even possible?
All this ti, she had believed that Ou Jue’s mother would like her just as much as his grandmother did.
No, even if she didn’t like her, at the very least, she shouldn’t have been this vehently opposed...
Xiyan lowered her head, awkwardly twisting her fingers together.
Was Susan really that important—to the Ou Family, and especially to Auntie Ou?
So important that Ou Jue must marry Susan’s daughter?
Who exactly was she...
