Chapter 113
Xia Ruoan's heart surged as he recalled the meticulous care and attention that Senior Brother Ouyang had given him over the years.
However, she was shocked and confused to find out that he already knew about their relationship! But for so many years, he never mentioned a word about it. Why?
"Are you really my cousin? To be honest, I really don't know how to face you at this moment."
"After all, I didn't know I had a grandfather until recently. But it's obvious that my father may never forgive him in his lifetime."
"And it is also worth noting that, from childhood to adulthood, my father has never mentioned to me anything about his grandfather's family. From this, it can be inferred that they probably don't have a very close relationship." Xia Ruoan frowned, secretly speculating on the reason.
Leng Zexi had already figured out the truth of the matter after an in-depth investigation.
Back then, Xia Ruo'an's grandfather and his family chose to leave without mercy when his father-in-law was in the most difficult time, and they never even looked for his father-in-law. I guess his father-in-law must have thought that they had already abandoned him.
"Ruo'an, what he said is indeed true. As for why your father refused to acknowledge his relatives, I think Ouyang should know the inside story."
Leng Zexi looked at Xia Ruoan with a serious expression, and a trace of worry arose in his heart, fearing that she would be sad after hearing the final answer.
It should be because of the car accident that killed Ou Jia.
Ouyang did not show any surprise that Leng Zexi knew about this.
He gently moved a stool in the laboratory to Xia Ruo'an, and said with a smile: "Come, sit down first. You are pregnant now, so just sit down and have a good rest.
As long as it is something you want to know, I will tell you without reservation today. "After saying that, he turned sideways and nodded slightly to Leng Zexi.
Leng Zexi understood what he meant, and hurried forward to carefully help Xia Ruoan to sit down slowly.
At this moment, Xia Ruo'an couldn't help but wonder in her heart, is he a little too nervous? If it weren't for the extremely uncomfortable morning sickness some time ago, she wouldn't even have really felt that she was pregnant!
However, seeing Leng Zexi's worried look, Xia Ruoan was too embarrassed to say anything more.
At this moment, Ouyang crossed his fingers and clasped them together, looking straight at Xia Ruoan, and said softly: "Xingchen came to see you, right?"
When Xia Ruo'an heard this, a hint of embarrassment instantly appeared on his face, and then he nodded slightly and replied: "Yes, we have met just now."
Hearing this, Ouyang sighed softly and continued, "After all, he bravely took this crucial step. It's a pity that this has put you in a dilemma. I'm really sorry."
"Don't worry, I will go talk to him in person later. To be honest, I am also responsible for this matter. After all, I was the first to notice his special feelings for you, and I also reminded him specially.
Since then, he can no longer take his eyes off you."
"Zhou Mufan? I don't think he's worthy of you at all! Let alone his own abilities, just looking at the complicated environment of his family, I know very well that it's only a matter of time before you two break up.
So, I have encouraged Xingchen to pursue you before." Ouyang looked at Xia Ruoan seriously and said.
After hearing this, Leng Zexi, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ouyang, his eyes full of helplessness and a hint of imperceptible helplessness.
I thought: Oh, as expected, my brother-in-law is so difficult to deal with! I already have four brothers-in-law in front of me, and now there is another one! The key is that this one is not only difficult to deal with, but also actively looks for a rival for me!
At this time, Xia Ruo'an hurriedly explained: "Brother Ouyang, please don't misunderstand me. I am just a friend to Gu Xingchen. By the way, I will find the seeds later. Can you help deliver them to him on the way?"
"As for me, I think it's better to avoid meeting him again."
"After all... since I can't give him the love and hope he wants, then staying away from him and letting him forget me as soon as possible may be the only thing I can do right now."
After saying that, Xia Ruoan sighed softly, looking somewhat lonely and helpless. If Gu Xingchen hadn't said it, they could still be friends openly, but now it seems impossible.
"Although your straightforward personality can give your loved ones a full sense of security, it is too cruel to those who are in love with you!"
"I can imagine how painful and lost Xingchen must have felt when you rejected him." However, deep down in his heart, Ouyang approved of Xia Ruoan's approach.
"But you did exactly the right thing."
Ouyang turned his head to look at Leng Zexi, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself: This guy is really not easy. He didn't even lose his temper in the face of such a situation.
Either he didn't care about Ruo'an at all, but from all the signs, it was obviously not the case; or he really cared about Ruo'an. Without a doubt, Leng Zexi must belong to the latter.
"Okay, let's not talk about Gu Xingchen for now, let's talk about the relationship between us."
"When your grandmother met with misfortune, our family happened to be in a foreign country. My grandfather was not in good health at the time, so he went abroad for treatment."
"As soon as we received the bad news about your grandmother, we rushed back without stopping. Unfortunately, by the time we got back, it was already time for your grandmother to be buried."
At this point, Ouyang couldn't help but feel a little sad, and continued: "What's worse is that while we were in a hurry, something unexpected happened and our family had a car accident. My parents left the world forever in that disaster, and only my grandfather and I survived by chance."
"But because of this, grandpa didn't dare to tell your father, let alone take him home, for fear that he would blame himself." Ouyang looked at Xia Ruoan and said.
Xia Ruoan looked at him in disbelief.
"Later, my grandfather took me away. When your father went to look for us, we saw him, but he didn't show up, so he thought we didn't want him anymore."
"My grandfather always missed him and wanted to take him home, but he was worried that he would be hurt again. Later, he could only watch him leave this sad city alone and go to a small county town."
