Chapter 336: Chapter 336 Never Underestimate the Old Man (3)

Xiao Shulan was different; her face had already darkened.

She wondered when her eldest had started this scheme. Was it from the moment she knew they intended to ingratiate themselves with Ou Chunhua?

Ou Chunhua exclaimed, "Hasn’t your eldest sister arrived? Before coming here, I even stopped by the hotel to change my clothes."

"Our eldest sister said there was a traffic jam on the way," Xiao Shuju replied irritably.

It wasn’t just the second sister who felt angry; she too felt the pain of being played by their eldest.

Ou Chunhua didn’t comment, but it was clear from her eyes that she was pleased with the situation. Her son was outstanding, and many women were competing for his attention, which made her very proud as a mother.

"Mrs. Ou, what is your son’s full name?" Even if they hadn’t met him, they could at least ask for his name, thought Xiao Shuju.

Xiao Shulan was thinking the same thing.

Ou Chunhua replied, "My son is very low-profile. According to him, he doesn’t want his personal life or work to be affected, nor does he want to impact his father and me. Therefore, he says, his name can only be disclosed by himself. Both his father and I have promised not to break this rule for him."

They gained nothing, no revelations.

Xiao Shulan and Xiao Shuju felt stifled inside but were helpless. After all, they were the ones in a weaker position asking for this relationship. It was typically a case of women chasing men, full of disadvantages.

They just hoped that this Mr. Ou wouldn’t turn out to be bald like Kang Junjia.

To this, Ou Chunhua reassured them, "Aren’t there campus belles and beaus in schools? My son has always been a campus beau."

A very handsome young man. The eyes of all the Xiao women lit up.

The elder lady sent the butler to ask the two sisters to help prepare for the birthday banquet that was to host all the guests tonight.

They were to set up several large tables in the hall to accommodate over a hundred guests.

Xiao Shulan and Xiao Shuju, therefore, had to leave Ou Chunhua alone—well, Xiao Shulan deliberately left her daughter behind for more interaction with her potential mother-in-law.

However, Kang Yueting was fearful upon seeing Ou Chunhua. With her mother and aunt away, she felt completely at a loss and resorted to the worst possible maneuver—she hid in the bathroom.

Ou Chunhua, finding herself alone, walked to a spot by the window where the signal was better, took out her phone, and dialed a family number.

After a few rings, the person on the other side picked up.

"Mom?"

Ou Chunhua’s face genuinely broke into a smile and said, "Yanan, guess where I am?"

"Have you come over here?"

"Yes."

"I heard you’ve been busy."

"Don’t worry, I won’t come to the hospital to find you, I won’t pressure you," Ou Chunhua said, quickly understanding the meaning behind her son’s words.

"Mom, if you’re free, I’ll treat you to a meal with my salary, but it’ll probably just be at a food stall—"

Ou Chunhua couldn’t stop smiling, "If you treat mom to noodles, mom will be overjoyed. Would a mother ever scorn her son?"

Ou Yanan fell silent for a moment on the other end.

Ou Chunhua’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Mom, I’m really busy here at the hospital, the professor is calling me. I’ll call you back when I have time. Take care of yourself."

"Yanan, remember, mom is always here for you," Ou Chunhua admonished earnestly.

"Mom, I’m an adult now; I can no longer act coquettishly in your and dad’s arms," Ou Yanan said before hanging up the phone.

Hearing the continuous beeping sound from the other side, Ou Chunhua instantly felt a dreadful emptiness inside, a creeping anxiety that seemed to spread at any moment, mixed with the images shaking in her mind: That young woman she had brushed past when she first entered the Xiao family’s house.
