Descending, Ji Chengzhi had simply pulled him to sit down in the garden outside, worried that he would hear the commotion from upstairs and get angry again. The two started smoking...
"What did you mean when you said he was frightened just now?"
"I guessed. You’re not unaware of the way that woman’s eyes are. It’s fine for people who are familiar with her, but for someone who has never seen her before, wouldn’t they be frightened by those eerily green eyes?"
Holding the cigarette in his hand, he sat there, propping himself up with one hand against the sofa. Only after a while did he exhale a smoke ring, "So are you saying that his sudden heart attack was also out of fright?"
Ji Chengzhi nodded, "That should be the case, so you should understand. The old man is already eighty, not so strong against scares!"
Ou Mucen sneered coldly without saying a word...
Who knew why such a thing had happened today? Her eyes had been fine before, so why did they suddenly revert to their original color today?
And, what about that thin thing originally in her eyes?
Ou Mucen just couldn’t figure it out!
Of course, if he had seen the ear pendants his mother was wearing, he might have understood. But since he hadn’t seen them, he remained unaware of the true reason behind Ye Ning’s eye issue at noon.
And when he thought to ask his mother about it again, Bai Tingfang had already been ordered by the old man lying in the bedroom to take off the ear pendants.
"Why take them off? Aren’t they pretty?"
"If I tell you to take them off, just do it. Why so much nonsense?" The old man in bed coughed angrily upon seeing her dare to talk back to him.
Seeing this, Bai Tingfang didn’t dare contradict him and hurriedly took off the ear pendants, then reluctantly returned them...
It was just a pair of ear pendants; was it worth all this fuss?
When Bai Tingfang finally left, her face was sullen, showing her deep dissatisfaction.
But the old man, after getting his hands on the ear pendants, thought of the pair of eyes he had seen not long ago. His lips, devoid of any blood, trembled twice, and his fingers suddenly clenched tightly, as if he wished to crush the objects into powder right away.
Due to the old man’s sudden illness and Ye Ning’s unexpected condition, Ou Mucen had not gone to the company in the following days, choosing instead to stay at the villa to take care of the two of them.
Luckily, after that day, with Ji Chengzhi’s meticulous care, both recovered well. Within a few days, they were almost back to normal.
Seeing this, Ou Mucen thought about the upcoming New Year at the company and the pile of work awaiting him. He decided to go to the company to settle things there first, then return for the New Year celebrations.
But what he didn’t expect was that just one day after he left, Ou Mufeng arrived at Blue Mountain Villa with the children, Bai Wei, and Bai Guanjie, claiming that the old master had invited them to spend the New Year at the villa.
Mrs. Wang found this unbelievable!
The eldest Miss and her family actually came here for the New Year? But previously, because of the third young master’s request, hadn’t the old master always hesitated to agree for fear that the ill-tempered eldest Miss would cause trouble?
How could it suddenly be...?
Mrs. Wang began to feel uneasy!
Ye Ning was unaware of this. Her eyes had healed, and seeing that the weather had been nice these past days, she wanted to take a walk in the Bamboo Garden, "Mrs. Wang, are you done with your chores? Let’s go down for a walk together, the air is quite fresh. And we can check on what Xiaobao is doing."
