Chapter 136
After hearing his statement, Ou Zixuan finally felt relieved. He nodded slightly and said, "Well, it is indeed as Ouyang said. Compared with Zhou Mufan, Zexi is much stronger. He is not only responsible, but also steady and reliable."
Then, he turned his gaze to Xia Ruo'an and said earnestly: "An'an, in my opinion, Zexi is indeed a rare candidate for a good son-in-law.
In terms of his status, position and personal ability, he is quite a match for you.
Therefore, even if you really marry into the Leng family in the future, you don’t have to feel like you are marrying up. Our Ou family will always be your solid backing!"
At this moment, Leng Zexi, who had been holding Xia Ruo'an's hand tightly, quickly took over the conversation and responded sincerely: "Uncle, please don't say that! Being able to marry An An is the greatest blessing of my life.
Besides, my parents and An An's father had arranged a marriage for us in our early years, and now we are together, it's all destined! We will definitely cherish this hard-earned relationship. "
Hearing this, Ou Zixuan nodded in satisfaction, but then he seemed to remember something important, his expression slightly straightened, and asked Leng Zexi: "By the way, Zexi, how is the progress of the matter that Ouyang asked you to help investigate? Has Ling'er been found?"
When asked this, a hint of hesitation flashed across Leng Zexi's face, as if it was difficult to answer.
Seeing this, Xia Ruoan on the side quickly spoke up to help: "Uncle, your health is important, you should take the medicine first. I will tell you in detail after you finish taking the medicine." His words were full of concern.
After hearing this, the butler slowly took out an exquisite small bag from his pocket and opened it carefully, revealing several pills of different colors inside.
He walked respectfully before the master and presented the life-saving pills with both hands.
Ou Zixuan sat in a chair, brows furrowed, staring at the pill in his hand.
He noticed the solemn expressions on the two people's faces, and his heart sank. It seemed that the situation on An An's side was much worse than he expected, otherwise they would not be so serious.
Ou Zixuan took a deep breath, reached out to take the pill, put it in his mouth without hesitation, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Then, he raised his head, looked at Leng Zexi, and said in a low but firm voice: "Tell me, no matter what kind of news it is, I can bear it."
After experiencing the devastating blow of the sudden departure of his son and daughter-in-law, he felt that there were not many things in this world that could fear him, except life and death.
Xia Ruoan picked up the phone, unlocked the screen, and handed it to Ou Zixuan.
Her eyes were filled with sorrow, and she said softly, "Sister Ling'er chose to leave because she was diagnosed with cancer. She kept it a secret from everyone and went abroad alone for treatment. Now she only has less than a year left."
At this point, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but choke up, tears welling up in his eyes.
Ou Zixuan widened his eyes and looked at the pale and haggard face on the phone screen in disbelief.
That familiar yet strange look, how could it be the beautiful and youthful girl Ling'er in his memory? He felt a sharp pain in his heart, his eyes instantly moistened, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"How could this happen?" Ou Zixuan muttered to himself, his voice trembling so much that he could barely form a complete sentence.
However, the cruel reality was right in front of him, and he had no choice but to believe it. In the photo, Ling'er was skinny and pale, and her once bright and moving eyes had lost their luster.
Xia Ruo'an suppressed his sadness and continued, "After Senior Brother knew about this, he felt very painful and blamed himself. He wanted to accompany Sister Ling'er for the last moments.
He wants to take Sister Ling'er to get a marriage certificate and hold a wedding. I hope you can agree to their wish. "After saying that, Xia Ruoan looked at Ou Zixuan expectantly, waiting for his answer.
The butler stared at the photo in his hand with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.
When he heard that the young master was actually planning to get a marriage certificate and hold a wedding, he couldn't help but frown, but ultimately chose to remain silent and say nothing.
Speaking of the young master and Miss Zhou, they are both really miserable people! Ou Zixuan has been looking forward to getting news about his grandson as soon as possible. Maybe it won't be long before he can get what he wants.
At this time, Ou Zixuan was heard saying, "Housekeeper, go and prepare the household registration booklet. If Ouyang needs it, send it to him immediately."
Ou Zixuan did not object to this matter because he knew very well that the two children were truly in love.
Love is hard to come by, not to mention that Ling'er once saved her grandson's life. Now it's time for her grandson to repay the kindness.
"Uncle, do you really agree?" Xia Ruoan asked in surprise. She originally thought that she would have to spend some time persuading him. After all, Sister Ling'er's current situation was rather special. If it were any other ordinary family, it would probably be difficult for them to accept such a daughter-in-law.
"What? In your eyes, am I the kind of villain who specializes in breaking up lovers? I know what you are thinking. Do you think that Ouyang's marriage this time is his second marriage?" Ou Zixuan shook his head and asked Xia Ruoan in return.
"Absolutely not! Unless there is any major accident, the name Zhou Ling'er will be filled in as Ouyang's wife.
And from what I know about this kid, he will never allow any unexpected circumstances to ruin this matter. "Ou Zixuan said firmly, his tone full of determination and confidence. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
“I personally raised this child, and I know his character and personality very well.
I'm afraid Ouyang will have to spend the rest of his life alone. An An, when you have time in the future, try to visit him more often and accompany him.
After all, my physical condition is getting worse day by day, and I really don’t know how long I can accompany him... "Speaking of this, Ou Zixuan couldn't help but reveal a trace of helplessness and sadness.
At this moment, Xia Ruoan recalled his senior brother's daily behavior and secretly agreed with his uncle's opinion.
Given my brother’s personality, it is very likely that he will not choose to marry and have children again.
Because my senior brother has always been a very responsible person. If he already has a specific woman in his heart, he will never marry another woman easily.
But the problem is that it is almost impossible to make Senior Brother completely forget Zhou Ling'er. Thinking about it this way, what Grandpa Uncle said is not without basis.
On the other side, Zhou Ling'er, who had just woken up, looked around anxiously for Ouyang as soon as she opened her eyes.
When she found that the familiar figure was not in the room, a look of disappointment that was difficult to conceal flashed across her eyes.
Then, she slowly turned her gaze to the window, and saw that the sunlight today was extremely dazzling, which hurt her eyes and even made her want to cry.
She didn't even notice the sound of the door being pushed open.
It was not until a burst of rich and fragrant floral scent wafted into her nose that Zhou Ling'er came back to her senses as if awakened from a dream.
When she looked closely, she saw that it was Ouyang who was walking towards her with a bunch of gorgeous red roses in his arms. These red roses were Zhou Ling'er's favorite flowers.
