Su Yixia had thoroughly offended Gu Nuan, not just because she had sent someone to attack Gu Nuan today, but because she had lured Gu Nuan’s mother to her that day.
Undoubtedly, that was a direct hit on Gu Nuan’s iron plate. After all, the one thing Gu Nuan could not tolerate was someone laying hands on her family members. The excruciating pain of Gu Sheng being taken away was etched in her heart as a vendetta.
Since the opponent had already laid hands on her family, then they had to pay the price of burying their whole family alongside. Gu Nuan was definitely not someone to be trifled with!
Early in the morning, the city’s teahouse was packed with customers.
Knowing that his mother lived in Hong Kong year-round and favored Hong Kong-style breakfast, it was convenient that many Hong Kong-style dim sums were also available nearby. Ou Yanan asked Tang Sili for a well-known tea house for morning tea, reserved a spot, and with the first month’s salary from the hospital, planned to treat his mother to morning tea.
When Ou Chunhua received the notification from her son inviting her for a meal, she happily got up early to dress up and arrived at the tea house almost half an hour ahead of time.
Instead of sitting down to wait, she stood at the entrance of the tea house, tiptoeing to watch the cars and pedestrians passing by.
It seemed that her son’s handsome and straight figure was always outstandingly unique, which made her as a mother immensely proud. Whenever everyone’s gaze fell on her son, she could easily forget everything and foolishly fix her gaze solely on him.
After crossing the street, Ou Yanan made his way through the crowd to her, "Mom, when did you get here?"
"Just now—," Ou Chunhua said with a smile, sizing up his face.
"Why didn’t you go in and wait? Didn’t they let you in? You could have given them my mobile number," Ou Yanan said.
Ou Chunhua seemed not to hear what he said, adjusted the creased cuff of his sleeve, and remarked, "How come you don’t even have proper clothes to wear? You seem to have lost weight, haven’t you?" The source of this content ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩
"I’m not attending a banquet or anything. We students at the hospital all wear these ordinary clothes. Actually, the hospital is quite messy, and good clothes would get ruined quickly and are difficult to maintain," Ou Yanan explained.
"I know you’re busy at the hospital, but you should also pay attention to your nutrition. You’re a doctor yourself," Ou Chunhua said, finally noticing the scabbed little wound hidden under his cuff, her expression suddenly changed, "What happened here?!"
"Mom, I accidentally bumped into a table corner; look, it doesn’t even need a bandaid. There’s nothing to worry about," Ou Yanan said, pulling his wrist away from her grip.
Ou Chunhua’s sharp gaze lingered around his face, silently.
Ou Yanan turned his face away, "Let’s go inside."
The two of them then entered the restaurant.
They sat down at the reserved spot on the second floor and began to order from the menu.
While sipping tea, Ou Chunhua said, "Your father said he wants you to come back to Hong Kong. The hospitals in Hong Kong are better than in China. What do you want to do here?"
Ou Yanan, expressionless, replied, "I’ll explain this to Dad over the phone."
"How will you explain it?" Ou Chunhua frowned, "Besides, you’re not getting any younger. You should consider settling down. Do you understand? Although your father says he supports your independent development, you can’t just not get married. Your father and I only have you as a son."
Ou Yanan, regarding her words, only gave a cold, slight smirk, semi-smiling, "What, have Dad and Mom taken a liking to some girl?"
