Wen Xin noticed Ling Xuer’s reserved demeanor, lifted her hand, and gently pinched Ling Xuer’s cheek, her lips curving into a light smile that carried a hint of mischief and unrestraint.
“I’m going to greet Old Mr. Ou first, and then I’ll come back to chat with you.” “Okay, go ahead, Sister Xin!” Ling Xuer nodded obediently to Wen Xin.
Turning around, Wen Xin took the gift she had prepared in advance from Mu Bei’s hands and glanced at the man by her side, “Let’s go and deliver the gift first.
Wen Xin received a call from Old Mr. Ou as soon as she left her house, asking her when she would arrive. His eager tone made Wen Xin want to laugh, surprised that someone was so looking forward to seeing her.
Holding the gift in one hand, Wen Xin, accompanied by Mu Chengxi, headed towards the banquet hall’s back lounge.
Upon entering the lounge, Wen Xin saw Old Mr. Ou holding a baby, with a woman sitting beside him, and beside the woman sat a man who looked tenderly and dotingly at the woman and child.
“Old Master, Young Master Mu, and Miss Wen have arrived…” The butler, seeing Old Mr. Ou enjoying his time with his grandson, softly informed Old Mr. Ou.
Hearing the butler’s words, Old Mr. Ou looked up at Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi, hurriedly handed the baby doll back to its mother, and warmly greeted Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi.
“Little Wen Xin, you’ve made me wait for a long time! I thought vou and Chengxi would come to my house for lunch. But when I called Chengxi, he said you didn’t want to come. You’re probably the only one who dares to refuse me, right?”
Wen Xin looked at the spirited Old Mr. Ou. Her cool demeanor was unchanged, but it was clear she was in a good mood.
“Why would I go to your family dinner?” While speaking, Wen Xin stuffed the gift into Old Mr. Ou’s hands, “Take a look, see if you like it.”
Old Mr. Ou, looking at the gift Wen Xin placed in his hands, guessed what it was, “This treasure, I’ll wait until after the banquet to open it at home. Your gifts are always treasures!”
Seeing Old Mr. Ou behaving like a playful old man, Wen Xin smiled faintly, her gaze falling on the woman holding the child standing behind Old Mr. Ou, and she nodded lightly.
Noticing Wen Xin’s gesture, Old Mr. Ou looked at her, surprised, “How do you two know each other?”
“Of course, we know each other. Grandpa, she’s the one who saved YouYou’s life. I didn’t expect you to know her too.” The woman looked at Wen Xin excitedly, amazed by the smallness of the world that allowed for such unexpected encounters.
Hearing the woman’s words, Old Mr. Ou was also surprised. He looked from
YouYou’s mother to Wen Xin, “The miraculous doctor you met at Zhuge
Jingming’s clinic is her? So there’s such fate!”
“Chengxi, it was Wen Xin who saved our YouYou. My silly daughter-in-law talked about it for so long without clarifying Wen Xin’s identity. I was planning to ask about that miraculous doctor’s identity at Zhuge Jingming’s after my birthday banquet, and it turns out to be Wen Xin.”
Mu Chengxi nodded slightly to the man standing beside the woman, then smiled faintly at Old Mr. Ou, “Wen Xin hasn’t mentioned this to me, so I had no idea.”
“It’s probably because Miss Wen doesn’t know us. Let me introduce myself. I’m
Ou Jinzhi, this is my wife, Song Lin, and this is my youngest son, Ou YouYou.”
“Nice to meet you, Wen Xin…”
Wen Xin found Ou Jinzhi, who was polite, sunnier, and lacked the gloomy aura, quite likable compared to Ou Shenzhi. She had a good first impression of him.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mu Chengxi led Wen Xin out of Old Mr. Ou’s lounge. Along the corridor, Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi and asked in a tone neither cold nor warm, “You don’t seem very familiar with that man?”
Mu Chengxi, puzzled by her question, nodded and did not hide their relationship from Wen Xin, explaining it word for word.
“He is the grandson of Old Mr. Ou’s eldest son. His father has a special status, and he did not grow up in the capital. Also, his relationship with Ou Shenzhi is not good. We grew up playing with Ou Shenzhi, so it’s normal for him to not like us and have a bad relationship.”
“I see,” Wen Xin said, understanding their relationship better and not pressing further. She let Mu Chengxi lead her by the hand towards another hall of the banquet.
Entering the hall, they found all of Mu Chengxi’s friends, who stood up to greet them upon their arrival.
“Master Xi, Miss Wen…”
Mu Chengxi responded briefly and sat down next to Ling Yichen, glancing at Liang Luoyu.
After the incident at Lanzhi, Liang Luoyu kept his head down, not daring to meet Mu Chengxi’s eyes. Mu Chengxi did not explain anything and turned his attention back to Ling Yichen.
“Is your grandfather not well?”
Confused by Mu Chengxi’s question, Ling Yichen looked puzzled, shook his head, then nodded as he remembered something.
“It’s not that he’s unwell, but he’s been consulting at Zhuge Jingming’s clinic recently for an abnormal pulse. But since coming back from the clinic, he’s been acting unusually, asking me to find a girl around eighteen or nineteen who’s exceptionally skilled in acupuncture, but we haven’t found her yet.”
“You don’t need to look further; the person your grandfather wants you to find, I know her. Tell your grandfather that threatening Zhuge Jingming is useless.
That girl treats patients based on her mood, and you won’t be able to find her.”
Ling Yichen, puzzled by Mu Chengxi’s cryptic words, squinted at him, sensing Mu Chengxi was hiding something, but he knew this wasn’t the place to talk.
“Alright, I’ll tell my grandfather when I get back. He didn’t come today; he just stays home studying medical books. I don’t know when he became so fascinated by them.”
Ling Yichen mentioned his family’s eccentric elder with a helpless laugh. Despite years of bickering with Old Master Ou, his grandfather chose not to attend Old Mr. Ou’s eightieth birthday banquet, ignoring all persuasions from the family.
“Gentlemen, the banquet is about to begin. Please, move to the main banquet hall…”
The Ou family’s butler spoke politely to the young masters, his demeanor even more respectful when he saw Mu Chengxi and Ling Yichen..
