novelLittle Fifth, Your Father Is Back Now
| ← Ch.0695 | Ch.0697 → |
Xia Xiaofu's mother took the towel over and wiped her face.
"Mum, I am sorry. It is all because I am unworthy, and that is why I am letting you to be insulted together with me by Ou Ze." Xia Xiaofu was apologetic.
Xia Xiaofu's mother shook her head and said, "Xiaofu, don't say that. Mummy is fine. Mummy is just worried about you. In the past, when you were pregnant, it was a little better, and now that Little Fifth is born, what happened tonight will definitely happen again. It will get harder and harder for you to continue living on."
Xia Xiaofu sat down on the chair and stretched her hand out to rock the bassinet. The crisp and merry tune of the wind chime was ringing out in the air. Xia Xiaofu curled her lips up into an arc to smile and say, "I still can persist. I believe that Luoxi will come back very quickly."
"Xiaofu, Luoxi, he... is dead."
"He is not! Mum, think about this. With Luoxi's skills, how could he die so easily?" Xia Xiaofu was firm as she spoke.
Looking at her daughter's bright eyes, Xia Xiaofu's mother turned her head over to the side. She did not have the face or the courage to tell her how Ou Luoxi used to feed blood to her father.
...
"Mum, you don't have to worry, let's just bear with it and raise Little Fifth. We cannot be under someone else's control forever. I would slowly think of a plan to get a divorce from Ou Ze."
She would definitely divorce Ou Ze, but Ou Ze would definitely not agree to it. She was afraid that her anxiety would affect him and force him to take action to harm Little Fifth instead. The plans in the future, she had to think about them slowly, and she could not be too anxious. Ou Ze was a cunning person, and she was restricted in many ways. She was left with not many things now, and she could not afford to lose anything more.
Xia Xiaofu's mother saw her daughter contemplating seriously, and her heart was in pain. Her daughter was pampered with love since a young age, and she burst to fame in the entertainment industry at the age of 16. She was known as the Nation's Goddess. Her daughter was never subjected to any suffering, and now she's ended up in the wolf's den and is subject to Ou Ze's mood to survive. Fate was really playing tricks on her.
Xia Xiaofu's mother had no other choice but to let out a sigh.
Xia Xiaofu's mother left. Xia Xiaofu went into the bathroom to take a shower, and she locked the door from the inside because she was worried. She pushed the drawers over and placed them against the door because she was afraid that Ou Ze would come back.
After doing all this, she sat down by the side of the bassinet to look at Little Fifth, who was sleeping. Her Little Fifth, Luoxi's flesh and blood...
Xia Xiaofu took out the white veil that she'd hidden underneath the pillow the entire time. She held it in both hands as she brought it to her lips to kiss it. There were two beads of glistening tears in the corners of her eyes, and she softly murmured out, "Luoxi, you are a father now. Did you know that?"
...
The Old Master of the Ou family passed away due to illness, and the Ou family conducted a funeral for him.
That day, it was drizzling lightly. Xia Xiaofu was dressed in black. She held a black umbrella in her hand as she sent Old Master Ou to the cemetery, and the guests that came over to mourn came over to give flowers and bow to him.
After they were done, they comforted the family and said, "President Ou, condolences to your family."
Ou Ze and Chen Ni were also dressed in black, and both of them had solemn expressions on their faces as they said, "Thank you."
Everyone then looked over at Xia Xiaofu and said, "President Ou, Mrs, Ou, if we did not remember it wrong, your child should be almost three months old now. When are you all preparing to hold a hundred day banquet?"
Xia Xiaofu did not say anything, and at this moment, Chen Ni said, "There have recently been many matters in the family. Old Master has passed away so recently. If we hold a hundred day banquet, we will definitely invite you over."
This was something said out of courtesy. Xia Xiaofu was also thankful for Chen Ni's attitude inside her heart. Her Little Fifth was her precious darling, and she did not wish for Little Fifth to grow up under everyone's eyes.
Little Fifth...
Xia Xiaofu raised her head up to look at the rain in the autumn day. She did not bring Little Fifth out. Her mother was taking care of her at home. Right now, Xia Xiaofu only wished to go home quickly as she already missed Little Fifth.
At this moment, some sounds rang out in her ears. It was the sound of water under car tires. Xia Xiaofu turned her gaze over to the side to have a look, and there were three black cars stopped by the graveyard.
There was an extended version of a business vehicle in the middle, and the entire car was sparkling black in colour. The beads of water fell down the body and did not affect the car's elegance at all.
Someone stepped out from the front passenger seat. That person wore a black sweatshirt, and his muscular arms were tattooed with tigers on them. He looked extremely menacing, and the moment they saw him, they knew he was a powerful figure.
That person took a black umbrella in his hand as he walked over to the back door of the business vehicle before he politely pulled the door open.
Xia Xiaofu raised her gaze over to have a look amidst the drizzle. The first thing that entered her gaze first was a pair of black leather shoes, and as she looked up, she saw a pair of black slim-cut trousers, and it wrapped around his long legs. As she looked up even further, it was a good quality black shirt, and it exposed his perfect, exquisite face.
Xia Xiaofu froze entirely. Her defined eyes were contracting and enlarging non stop, and the entire world became quiet at this moment. She could only look at that person in a blur...
That person that took step after step in her direction in the wind and rain.
All of the guests who'd come to grieve acted as if they were all bewitched."Ou... Ou Luoxi, " someone exclaimed in shock
Ou Ze and Chen Ni stepped forward at the same time, and both of their facial expressions changed drastically as they looked at Ou Luoxi, who was walking towards them.
Ou Luoxi stopped in his tracks before Old Master Ou's gravestone, and the people that were dressed in black behind him were all trained and polite as they stopped two metres away from him. The man tattooed with tigers was still holding the umbrella up before he looked over at Ou Ze directly, and he smiled politely and said, "The Young Master Gong Ming of the Green Door has come over to send Old Master Ou off."
The silent people in the graveyard heard what he said and all took a breath of air in. Green... Green Door...
Young Master Gong Ming...
Everyone was flabbergasted as they looked at Ou Luoxi.
Ou Luoxi slowly bent over and bowed three times before the gravestone. Some people dressed in black stepped forward and placed a small white flower on the gravestone.
"Older Brother, it has been such a long time since we last met." Ou Luoxi turned around and looked at Ou Ze.
Ou Ze looked into Ou Luoxi's eyes, and his eyes were still bright and sparkling like before. They were beautiful and sparkling just like the stars in the sky, and the only thing that was different from the past was that his gaze was so deep and did not seem to have an end. It seemed that others' gazes would sucked inside when they glanced at him.
Ou Ze's heartbeat became erratic. Why was he not dead?
Ou Ze pretended to be calm on the outside. He stepped forward and stretched his hand out, "Luoxi, it has really been such a long time since we last met. A while ago, everyone said that you were involved in an accident, and I was so firm in my belief that you were not."
Ou Luoxi's facial expressions were very plain, and the corners of his lips were curled up into a smile that seemed to be there but not at the same time. His clear and sparkling eyes were sharp and cold as they were fixed on Ou Ze's face, and he said, "Older Brother, could you have not heard this saying? The more pitiful my life is, the harder it would be for me to die. I just find it tough to die."
Ou Luoxi stretched his right hand out and shook Ou Ze's.
Ou Ze's face was all pale, and his right hand that Luoxi shook was already in so much pain that it was numb now.
Just now, when Luoxi shook his hand, he used some strength, and this amount of strength seemed like it was already enough to break the bones in his hand.
Fu Gui, who was standing behind Ou Ze, lowered his head retreating into the crowd. Ou Luoxi said the same thing that he'd said in the port that day, and he could be absolutely sure that Ou Luoxi was here to take revenge.
Fu Gui was trained in martial arts, and he had a look at the tattooed man by Ou Luoxi's side. This man's martial arts abilities were beyond normal level, and he was not someone Fu Gui could go against. When he looked over at Ou Luoxi again, that day, he was struck multiple times at the port, and he was struck so hard that as he was bleeding profusely. That image was as clear as if it happened yesterday, and the waters in the port that day were all stained red, but he actually did not die. His powers were really beyond imagination.
Fu Gui was sweating profusely, and he secretly peeked at Ou Luoxi. He was no longer that person with a pale face because he was feeding blood to others, and he wasn't limping as he walked anymore.
At this moment, a guest said, "Young Master Gong Ming is really too kind. One month ago, my goods in an African port had some issues, and I persuaded my contacts and found Green Door. At that time, it was Ah Li who personally went over to help me settle this matter."
The guest thanked the man with the tiger tattoos profusely.
Ah Li nodded his head.
Chen Ni was listening to their conversation at the side. This guest was her distinguished guest, and he was in the trade for many years. Almost all of the trades that came into the port were his, and she did not expect this guest to need Ou Luoxi to help him out.
Chen Ni was smart as she had a smile on her face. She said, "Luoxi, since you are back, our Ou family is reunited now. What about this then? Tomorrow, come back to the Ou family so you two brothers can reunite properly."
"This..." Ou Luoxi hesitated for a moment and said, "I am afraid that I do not have any time for that."
"Young Master." At this moment, Ah Li bent down and said, "Why don't we go over to the Ou home tomorrow. Don't we have official matters to discuss with President Ou?"
"Oh, is that right? What matters?"
"Young Master, you are really forgetful. Old Master Ou has passed away now, and you are the Second Young Master of the Ou family. The properties under the Ou family must be divided."
Ah Li's voice rang out. Ou Ze and Chen Ni both froze entirely.
Ou Luoxi had a questionable smile as he glanced over at both people and did not say anything.
Ah Li was still convincing him, and he said, "Young Master, you have such a good brotherly relationship with President Ou. Based on the asset splitting, our Green Door would normally send lawyers over to calculate them, but the properties under the Ou family together with the ancestral homes all are all taken under President Ou right now. If we forcefully ask President Ou to give them up, then it would be so embarrassing for President Ou. Why don't you two brothers discuss this with one another?"
At this moment, Ou Ze and Chen Ni's faces were white as snow.
"Yeah." Ou Luoxi nodded his head and said, "It is also good that way. Older Brother, it seems that I will have to disturb you all tomorrow."
Ou Ze was feeling so much hate that he clenched his teeth, but he was unable to explode. Ou Luoxi made a sudden appearance today, and he was caught completely off guard. Ou Luoxi's status right now made him extra fearful.
He needed to get information on what was going on before he made a decision.
"Haha, Luoxi, what do you mean by disturbing when we are brothers?" Ou Ze thought of something happy and said, "Tomorrow I will ask your older sister-in-law to cook your favourite dishes personally. Speaking of, your older sister-in-law, Xiao Fu..."
Ou Ze stretched his hand out directly to bring Xia Xiaofu into his embrace as he said, "Xiaofu, this is Luoxi. Luoxi, Xiaofu is your older sister-in-law now."
Ou Ze emphasised the words older sister-in-law, and he wanted to hurt Ou Luoxi.
But Ou Luoxi disappointed him because Ou Luoxi did not have any expressions on his face and also did not have change in his expressions. Even his gaze was so unalarmed, and he slowly looked at Xia Xiaofu, who was in a daze before he greeted her with a smile on his face, "Older Sister-In-Law, hope you are doing well."
Xia Xiaofu was completely numb, and her hands and feet were icy cold as she was locked in Ou Ze's embrace. She was in a daze as she looked at Ou Luoxi's eyes, and he looked at her with a polite gaze that was full of distance and unfamiliarity.
In the past year, Little Fifth and him still being alive were the hope that kept her alive and made her able to weather everything. She was not afraid of being tired, and she did not bow down to failure. In her mind, she thought of many scenes — the scene where she would be reunited with him.
She thought that he might be badly injured or disfigured with a limp as he lay in bed... All of this did not matter, and when his right leg was disabled, she did not despise him before. No matter how much he changed, as long as she was able to be together with him and their Little Fifth, she wanted to spend the rest of her life together with him.
But today, they reunited with one another. It was so unexpected and so different...
She was unable to accept it for a moment.
Xia Xiaofu was in a daze, and Ou Luoxi averted his gaze as he said, "Older Brother, I still have something else to attend. I must go. We will see one another tomorrow."
Ou Luoxi turned around and left.
All of the people dressed in black went into the car, and the three luxury vehicles drove off.
Ou Ze's large hands that he drooped by his sides were tightly clenched into fists, and his eyes were about to spew fire. At this moment, the guests all said, "President Ou, we have to go."
"Ay, everyone, don't leave. We have already reserved a hotel for the afternoon."
"Madam Ou is being way too polite. We still have other matters, and we will not be eating lunch." The guests left quickly.
Chen Ni almost broke her nail in her palm. These people were all cowards. They saw Ou Luoxi coming back to fight for assets, and they were afraid of inviting trouble, so they dispersed and avoided contact.
Ou Luoxi, hmph! Let's see as we go!
...
In the Ou family villa
Xia Xiaofu's mother was inside the room taking care of Little Fifth when the door opened up. Xia Xiaofu's mother turned her head back to have a look. It was Xia Xiaofu.
Xia Xiaofu's mother stood up and said, "Xiaofu, you are back. Have you eaten dinner already?"
Xia Xiaofu shook her head and said, "I am not hungry. I do not want to eat."
"Xiaofu, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so pale?"
"Mum, I am fine." Xia Xiaofu walked over to the desk before she stretched her hand out to open the notebook as she typed Green Door into the search engine, and many pieces of news immediately popped up.
Green Door was the number one gang internationally, and it was powerful and influential. They had business both legal and illegal, and their industries spanned from the financial industry to hotels and port business. They had several departments. Their position in the industry unable to be overthrown, and they had always been known as the Big Boss.
The boss of Green Door was ranked number four, and he was known as Uncle Four. He did not have any sons; he only had a precious daughter. Uncle Four was getting older and older now, and the new boss of the Green Door should be picked out from the pool of the new generation members, but two months ago, Gong Ming popped up from Tokyo, Japan and set a war path for Green Door. He created great fanfare in Tokyo. Uncle Fourth took him in as his adopted son, and Gong Ming officially became the Young Master of Green Door.
And right now, the Young Master of Green Door was Ou Luoxi.
Xia Xiaofu's mother saw Xia Xiaofu staring at the computer monitor for a long time and did not move. She could not help but say, "Xiaofu, what is wrong with you? You seem to be so fidgety after coming back today. What happened?"
Xia Xiaofu regained her senses, and she slowly turned her head back to look at her mother as she said, "Mum, I saw... Luoxi at the graveyard today."
"What?" Xia Xiaofu's mother's facial expression changed, and she was worried as she stretched her hand out to touch Xia Xiaofu's head." Xiaofu, Mummy knows that you are unable to forget Ou Luoxi, but Ou Luoxi has already been gone for a year. Don't dream on anymore."
Xia Xiaofu did not say anything. She stood up and walked over to the bassinet. She slowly perched herself by the side of the bassinet as she looked at Little Fifth, who was sleeping. She curled her lips into a sweet smile softly said, "Little Fifth, your father is back now."
As she spoke, Xia Xiaofu's eyes became wet. She bit down on her lower lip harshly and choked up as she said, "He has finally returned."
