Chapter 1519 People from the Ou Family Come (1)

When Gui Xiaofeng heard what Mengyu said, monstrous waves surged in her heart. Why was it that everything she had done was spoken out by her, as if she had been standing right there beside them, watching the two of them grow up.

The problem was, even someone who watched them grow up wouldn’t necessarily be able to see clearly her purpose in befriending Hai Xue!

She stared at Mengyu, vigilance in her eyes. "Who are you?"

Mengyu smiled. "My name is Nan Mengyu, I’m the Gu Family Aunt’s prospective daughter-in-law. What, you didn’t come looking for me today? Oh, I got it wrong—when you were at the door just now, the first thing you asked was whether Yang Meiyin was home. You came to look for Yang Meiyin.

But Yang Meiyin no longer belongs to the Gu Family. She took her son of the Chu Family back to the Yang Family. If you want to find her, you’d better hurry to the Yang Family."

Hearing this, Gui Xiaofeng shuddered again: Yang Meiyin’s son had been exposed too? And they even knew that man’s surname was Chu!

So did they also know what relationship that man surnamed Chu had with her?

Suddenly, she met Mengyu’s gaze; that look scared her stiff. In that instant, she suddenly just wanted to leave here as fast as possible, to run far, far away. Where did she still have the mind to think about her husband’s words about making friends with Eldest Lady Nan?

"I don’t understand what you’re talking about. You’ve misunderstood me too deeply. I’ll be going now." With that, she turned around and hurried out in a fluster.

And the courtyard gate was closed behind her by Hai Xu.

Only, she hadn’t run far when she bumped straight into someone.

She was about to curse, but suddenly found that the other party was actually a neatly dressed young lady. What shocked her even more was that by the lady’s side stood a young man in his twenties, and behind them followed two burly men as tall and strong as oxen. Those two men carried a chill on them.

Her temper, which had been about to flare, instantly turned into an apology. "I’m sorry, you are—"

"Oh, we’re from the Ou Family of Xiangjiang. May I ask where Gu Ming’s house is?"

The Ou Family—actually the Ou Family!

Gui Xiaofeng of course knew that when Hai Xue was little, she always wore a golden lock around her neck. Others might not know about that golden lock, but she had asked to see it many times in the name of friendship. There was a rose carved on it, along with a few English letters.

Everything else of Hai Xue’s she could easily coax out of her hands, but this golden lock was the one thing Hai Xue would never give her.

It was precisely because she was so familiar with that golden lock that, once she learned that that style of rose plus a few letters was the family crest of the Xiangjiang Ou Family, she reported Hai Xue for concealing overseas connections, and thus opened up more than ten years of disaster for Hai Xue.

But honestly, she hadn’t known that Hai Xue really was one of the Ou Family. She had merely seen that the golden lock Hai Xu wore had that mark and thought of using Hai Xue’s golden lock as an excuse to accuse her of concealing overseas connections.

Yet now, people from the Xiangjiang Ou Family had actually come to the door.

Gui Xiaofeng forced down the panic in her heart and asked, "What do you want with Gu Ming?"

The young lady’s face was full of excitement. "His wife is from our Ou Family. We’ve come to claim our kin."

They really were from the Ou Family! Hai Xue truly was from the Ou Family!

She suddenly thought, the reason they had found their way here so quickly—could it be that back then, because Hai Xue was discharged from the army over this overseas connection, she caught their attention, and now, with reform and opening up and the policies loosening, they had come looking immediately?

Did that mean that what she’d done had instead helped Hai Xue find her family?

At this moment, she didn’t even know whether she ought to regret taking Hai Xue’s golden lock and making a fuss about it back then.
