Ou Mucen said no more, his eyes simply lay there, not knowing where he was looking, unmoved...
Ji Chengzhi, seeing this, sighed again in his heart!
In fact, he understood his feelings now, being the only one who knew of his worries. With such an event, how could he not know what he was thinking?
Therefore, upon seeing him , he came over and took the cup, which was still clutched tightly in his hand, "Mucen, actually, it’s useless for you to sit here and brood over things, why not go back and ask her yourself? Wouldn’t that be clearer?"
The man who had his cup taken away, looking at his empty palm, didn’t know what came over him. Suddenly, a cold sneer crossed his face, "She had a purpose when she came to me; do I even need to ask?"
Ji Chengzhi turned back in astonishment, "Are you saying... her becoming your assistant was all pre-planned?"
Ou Mucen’s gaze grew colder, "It was all planned by her master. Her goal was to take revenge on Ou Yuze, and I was just the biggest pawn in their game!"
For several seconds, Ji Chengzhi held the cup without any reaction.
My God, who exactly was that woman? Why has it suddenly come to involve the young master of the Ou Family?
Also, this revenge on Ou Yuze, how does it involve the use of him?
Ji Chengzhi felt as if a bomb had exploded in his head. Casually placing the cup on the table, he quickly sat down at the man’s bedside, "What exactly is going on? You need to explain it to me clearly; you’re making my head spin."
Ou Mucen looked at him coldly for a few seconds, then finally spoke a few words, "She is none other than the mastermind behind the five-year-old grand fraud case—Mei Liping’s foster daughter, Ye Ning."
Sitting there, he stared blankly at him for more than ten seconds, then finally swallowed and spoke, "You’re talking about that meek little girl adopted from the orphanage by your family, aren’t you?"
Ou Mucen didn’t speak, but his expression grew visibly more grim.
Yes, that was the little girl!
Back then at Blue Mountain Villa, he truly never even glanced at her properly, because of the conflict with the second branch of the family and also because of the character of that couple.
Thus, the little girl, from the time she was adopted until those years she spent in the villa, left an impression on him as nothing more than a tagalong behind Mei Liping.
To call her a tagalong would actually be giving her too much credit, because more often, the role she played by that woman’s side was the same as the servants in the villa. The only difference being that she called Mei Liping ’mom’ and her clothing would be slightly more decent.
But what of it? He never got along with that side of the family, so why would he pay attention to her?
"This little girl you speak of, I do remember some details. I recall, once when my aunt and I visited your home, your second sister-in-law brought in a girl, then introduced her to my aunt as her newly adopted daughter, and I took a glance..."
At this point, he suddenly looked up at him, "Wait, she didn’t look before. The girl back then, though timid around everyone, was quite pretty, with big eyes, an oval face, and her skin also..."
