Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 485: I Said You Would Kneel and Beg My Wife (6)
"Mom, didn’t I say I was working and didn’t have time? You should go back first, and we can talk when I’m free, okay?"
Ou Chunhua seemed as if she hadn’t heard him, gripping his slender arm tightly as if she had regained her hold on him.
Ou Yanan was silent.
Ou Chunhua said, "Okay, I will leave."
"I’ll walk Mom to the door to catch a cab."
As he spoke, Ou Yanan supported her by the arm.
Ou Chunhua’s eyes slightly drooped, and the corners of her mouth lifted imperceptibly, "Little girl, trying to compete with me?"
After a few steps, neither of them expected to suddenly encounter acquaintances here.
Xiao Shulan, accompanied by Kang Yueting, approached them with a smile, "Mrs. Ou, this young man beside you is—"
Ou Chunhua immediately thought of the agreement she had made with her son earlier, now that their relationship had just begun to improve, Xiao Shulan could not possibly ruin the atmosphere. Her expression turned steely as she said, "This man is a doctor from this hospital. He saw me sitting here and worried I might feel unwell, offered me a hand."
Is that so? Xiao Shulan’s eyes deepened, "I caught you red-handed, and you expect me not to acknowledge it?"
"Let’s be honest," Xiao Shulan pulled her daughter forward. "My daughter heard everything clearly, this is the young master of the Ou family, your son, isn’t he?"
Kang Yueting never expected her mother to suddenly do this and was startled. Meeting Ou Chunhua’s eyes, she immediately shrank back.
Xiao Shulan was unaware of what her daughter feared; she simply thought the girl was shy.
The fleeting light in Ou Chunhua’s eyes went unseen by Xiao Shulan.
"You say he’s my son? Your daughter must be dreaming. My son is a distinguished young master, how could he be doing menial, dirty work here?"
Hearing how confidently Ou Chunhua spoke, and having just hit a snag with Tang Sili, Xiao Shulan’s eyebrows knotted in frustration: What on earth is going on?
Kang Yueting anxiously said, "Mom, I’m not lying. I really heard him call her ’Mom.’
"Young lady, you can’t speak carelessly. I, Ou Chunhua, don’t just acknowledge anyone as my son, understand?"
Ou Chunhua’s words seemed to be intended for someone else’s ears.
At this point, what could Xiao Shulan do? Could she possibly drag these two for a DNA test to see if they were truly mother and son?
She could only pull her daughter aside, and Xiao Shulan apologized with a smile, "I’m sorry, Mrs. Ou. Yueting is young and doesn’t know better. Please don’t take it to heart."
Meanwhile, Xiao Shulan regretted listening to her daughter and rushing here to confront them. Now whether Ou Yanan was really Ou Chunhua’s son or not, she had managed to anger Ou Chunhua. If she upset this potential future mother-in-law, wouldn’t the chances of failure for her daughter be even greater?
Ou Chunhua slowly nodded and walked past the mother and daughter with Ou Yanan.
Unwilling to give up, Xiao Shulan added, "By the way, Mrs. Ou, about the project we were collaborating on—"
"We’ll talk about it later." Her mind was focused only on holding on to her son for now.

Unknowingly, night had fallen.
Gu Nuan sat on the bed, taking the phone that Zhan Dapeng just repaired from his hands.
The phone that had been in her pocket, had gotten knocked around, but thankfully, it wasn’t severely damaged. A minor repair had it working fine.
If it weren’t for a new issue every few days, just buying phones would be trouble enough.
