Chapter 254 Considering One or Two
Upon seeing the three of them arrive, Madam Ouyang quickly had someone take the wheelchair from her, saying, "It's rare for you to come back now, these things are not for you to do."
As Madam Ouyang spoke, she affectionately took Ouyang Jing's hand. If you didn't know better, you would think they were a mother and daughter!
"Isn't that right? Now that my sister is married, I'm afraid she no longer considers us family."
The speaker was Ouyang Hui, the second legitimate daughter of the Ouyang family and the only daughter of Madam Ouyang. Because she was a year younger than Ouyang Jing and had her birth mother by her side, Ouyang Jing had been bullied by her quite a bit over the years.
“A woman follows her husband after marriage. Now that Jing’er has taken on the surname of my Gu family, she naturally cannot be devoted solely to her own family. If my sister-in-law doesn’t understand this, and word gets out, I’m afraid no one will come to propose to her in the future!”
Before Ouyang Jing could speak, Gu Yingjie stepped forward and shielded her behind him, showing no regard for the fact that this was not something a grown man like him should get involved in.
Madam Ouyang was taken aback at first, but then quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Hui'er probably misses her sister too much, which is why she said such thoughtless things. Please forgive her, sir."
Since ancient times, women have followed their husbands after marriage. As long as Gu Yingjie disagrees, even if Ouyang Jing never returns to the Ouyang family, no one will say a word against her.
On the contrary, it was really inappropriate for Ouyang Hui to speak like that in front of her brother-in-law.
Ouyang Hui just wanted to tease Ouyang Jing as before, but she never expected Gu Yingjie to refute her so bluntly.
"Sister, I misspoke. Please don't take it to heart."
Ouyang Hui was not stupid. In just a moment, she realized that if her words were to get out, it would definitely damage her reputation.
After that, it would be even more impossible for her to make a name for herself.
"What are you saying, little sister? We're all family. How could I possibly hold a grudge against you?"
In the past, with Gu Yingjie backing her up, Ouyang Jing could have completely ignored Ouyang Hui. But now that Ouyang Bin has returned, she has to consider her brother's feelings.
"Alright, we've finally got a family reunion dinner, everyone sit down!"
It wasn't that Ouyang Bin didn't protect his most beloved daughter; it was just that Gu Yingjie's words were not wrong, and he couldn't afford to offend the Gu family right now.
After this little incident, no one bothered Ouyang Jing anymore.
“My lord, Bin’er is currently in poor health. I have specially prepared a medicinal diet to help him recover. The doctor said that this medicinal diet is also very beneficial to your health. Why don’t you drink some as well?”
As Madam Ouyang spoke, a maid immediately served soup to the two of them.
"Madam is so thoughtful."
As he spoke, Ouyang Biao took a sip of his drink before looking at Ouyang Biao again. "Bin'er, you must get well soon to repay our concern for your mother's kindness."
As he spoke, Ouyang Biao reached out and patted Ouyang Bin on the shoulder. Although he had been angry before because Ouyang Bin had run away from home and had not been heard from since, Ouyang Biao was still angry.
But he is still her own son, and now he's turned out like this. It would be a lie to say she doesn't feel heartbroken.
"It's my father."
Ouyang Bin agreed, but only took a small sip of the tonic soup and didn't touch it again.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Jing's gaze kept sweeping across Madam Ouyang's face, her shock was considerable.
Not long after the meal, Gu Yingjie and Ouyang Jing took their leave.
