"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet. Who gave you permission to open the door?" The two of them stopped helplessly and turned around. What did Mrs. Ou mean by this? She clearly came to ask for the person back. What, had she changed her mind again?
They stared blankly at Mrs. Ou, their faces full of question marks.
Madam Ou stared into their eyes one after the other. "Mo Nan, Lao Zhao, I sent you two to take care of the young master because I trust you both very much. The young master is ignorant and has been bewitched by that vixen. You two have also made a mistake along with him?"
"Which marriage in high society isn't a union of power and influence? There's no love to speak of. Young Master is utterly naive! You two must persuade him to follow the path I've laid out for him. His future will surely be brilliant. Do you understand? If you two disobey my teachings and go against me behind my back, I will absolutely not forgive you!"
Mrs. Ou's voice was low and deep, yet it struck their hearts like a heavy hammer. This woman was truly difficult to deal with; releasing the people wouldn't ease her worries, and she even wanted to hold them captive for a lecture. They were so foolish. This woman always seemed so determined to succeed; how could they so easily change their minds? They were truly naive.
It seems that Madam Ou is determined to oppose the young master to the end.
"Are these servants going to have a hard time from now on?" The two men's eyes were filled with melancholy.
"Understood, Madam Ou." The two men quickly and respectfully replied. They were actually quite resentful. If their young master hadn't been absent, they wouldn't have wanted to listen to Madam Ou at all. This woman was so snobbish, she was practically inhuman!
"Alright, release them now." Madam Ou waved her hand, already impatient.
"Yes, Mrs. Ou." The two hurriedly went to release the person. They were really worried about the young master. What was he going to do with a mother like this?
...
At Dean Gong's home.
Dean Gong lay on the bed, his face pale and weak. His body felt like it was falling apart, incredibly heavy, and he didn't even have the strength to sit up.
He never expected that the young master of the Ou family could be so ruthless. He and Madam Ou were as close as siblings, and he had always treated the young master Ou well. How could the young master Ou be so cruel? If Madam Ou hadn't come to save him, he probably wouldn't have survived for more than two days. Just thinking about his days in the underground secret room made his heart pound with fear.
Li Mei brought two doctors to examine her uncle, prescribe medicine, and give him injections. Li Mei was busy taking care of her uncle's daily life.
"Meimei, don't bother, let the caregiver do the work. Look how tired you are, all sweaty." Dean Gong's voice was weak as he looked at her busy figure with concern.
Li Mei sat down beside her uncle's hospital bed and held his old, frail hand. "Uncle, I'm not tired. It's all my fault for making you like this. I'm so sorry, Uncle, I'm so sorry..." Li Mei cried as she spoke, her heart aching deeply.
“Meimei, it’s alright, your uncle is alright, don’t cry. Your uncle’s abilities are limited, and I couldn’t help you achieve your wish. Instead, things have gotten worse. Your uncle is sorry. Fortunately, Mrs. Ou is supporting us. Otherwise, we would be doomed this time. Your relationship with Young Master Ou can only be put on hold for now. Let’s save our lives first and then discuss it further later.”
Dean Gong calmly analyzed the situation. Now that Young Master Ou had caught them red-handed, they really had no good options and could only make a hasty retreat.
"Uncle, do you mean we should leave Country A first? Is escape the only option? Is there no other way?" Li Mei was so unwilling to accept defeat, so unwilling to hand over the man she loved to Luo Xiaoyi. Was this the result of all her hard work? Her heart ached unbearably, and tears streamed down her face. She didn't want to let go!
At this moment, Mrs. Ou arrived and immediately interrupted.
“Meimei, your uncle is right. You can only go out and avoid things for now. I only managed to get your uncle out while Han’er was away. I can protect you for a while, but I can’t protect you forever. In the five years that Han’er has been in power in the Ou Group, the power he has secretly cultivated should not be underestimated.”
"If Han'er were here, she probably wouldn't have let you go so easily. You've crossed Han'er's bottom line this time. I know my son best. As soon as he comes back, he will definitely use every means to take your lives!"
"Everyone says I'm ruthless. Humph, actually, my son is practically my own flesh and blood. Sometimes, when I see what he does, it makes me feel scared. In short, a person who isn't ruthless can't protect the Ou Group."
"You two go out and hide for a while. When the time is right, you can come back. Those who achieve great things should not be bound by trifles and should be able to bend and stretch. Meimei, don't worry. As long as I'm here, Luo Xiaoyi will not be able to enter our Ou family. You will definitely become the daughter-in-law of the Ou family. To save your life, you can only suffer for now."
Mrs. Ou patted Li Mei on the shoulder, looked at her face, and said earnestly that ever since Li Mei risked her life to save her son time and time again, she had become more and more satisfied with Li Mei. This woman would be absolutely loyal to the Ou family, and Li Mei was an only child.
In the future, as long as the two families unite through marriage, all of the Li family's money will fall into the hands of the Ou family, thus ensuring that the Ou Group will remain invincible in Country A.

Li Mei was somewhat flattered. This was the first time she had ever heard Mrs. Ou speak to her so kindly, treating her like family. Moreover, Mrs. Ou had made such a significant promise to her. She was immediately filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Mrs. Ou. I will listen to you. I will prepare my things and go abroad with my uncle."
"Alright, you all get ready quickly. I'll assign a few doctors and nurses to take care of your uncle throughout the trip," Mrs. Ou thoughtfully arranged for them.
"Yes, thank you. However, Mrs. Ou, if I wait too long, I will miss Zihan very much..." Li Mei said, her eyes already red, and tears welled up again. She didn't know how long it would be before she saw Zihan again after she left, and she couldn't control her sadness.
"Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long. What can Luo Xiaoyi do to me?" Madam Ou stroked her long hair and gently comforted her.
Mrs. Ou was also inexplicably irritated. Li Mei was such a beautiful woman with a good family background, and she was always obedient to her mother-in-law. What was wrong with her son? Why did he just refuse to like her?
She couldn't understand what was so good about Luo Xiaoyi. She had nothing to offer. Why was her son so insistent on having Luo Xiaoyi? She just couldn't understand it!
Could this truly be a doomed fate, a destiny forged by the grudges of the previous generation? Impossible! She immediately dismissed that thought; she refused to believe in destiny! She only believed that she would accomplish whatever she set her mind to, no matter the means!
