Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Ou Jue Goes to the Appointment

Bzz—

Xiyan’s phone vibrated. She pulled it out to take a look.

It was an anonymous message.

[Xia Xiyan, we’ve placed a surveillance device on you. You’d better not try anything funny.]

What the hell? A surveillance device?!

Xiyan was startled.

When did that happen? She hadn’t noticed a thing!

This is terrifying!

Ou Jue’s dark, ink-black eyes locked onto Xiyan. "Actually what? Keep talking."

Xiyan quickly stopped herself from saying anything further and frantically shook her head.

Soaked from head to toe, Ou Jue drove her home to change her clothes.

On the way, Xiyan kept stealing glances at Ou Jue, uncertain how she could help Xia Shiyi arrange a meeting with him...

Ou Jue’s gaze never wavered from the road ahead, his face as indifferent as ever.

When Xiyan’s stolen glances reached their umpteenth time, Ou Jue slightly parted his thin lips, "Should I pull over and give you a front-row view so you can stare all you want in one go?"

"N-no need..." Xiyan hastily looked away, deeply embarrassed.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"Well, um, Ou Jue, what do you think of Xia Shiyi?"

"Who’s Xia Shiyi?"

"...You know, the girl you transferred to the ordinary class before. My younger half-sister. You’ve seen her several times already. How can your memory be so bad?"

Ou Jue’s tone remained flat. "I never bother making room in my mind for unimportant people."

Fiddling with her fingers, Xiyan muttered, "She likes you a lot."

Ou Jue turned the steering wheel without any change of expression. "So?"

Plenty of people liked him. Who did Xia Shiyi think she was?

This idiot—bringing up another woman in front of him for no apparent reason—what was that supposed to mean?

A strange irritation stirred within Ou Jue.

"Tonight at seven, Moli Restaurant on Chuxia Road. She’ll be waiting for you there."

"..."

Silence. Deathly silence.

Ugh. Suddenly, the tension was suffocating.

Xiyan felt extremely uneasy.

Ou Jue let out a cold laugh, gripping the steering wheel tightly. "My brother has gone missing. There are still no leads. And yet you’re taking this opportunity to matchmake me with your sister? Xia Xiyan, you’ve got some nerve."

Xiyan avoided mentioning Ou Xiaoluo’s disappearance.

Because she knew, the only way to bring Ou Xiaoluo back was to convince Ou Jue to meet with Xia Shiyi.

Nervously clutching the hem of her clothes, Xiyan looked up at Ou Jue. "So, will you go?"

Ou Jue stepped on the brakes abruptly. His jet-black eyes swept over, landing coldly on Xiyan. "You really want me to go?"

"Yes."

Ou Jue didn’t respond further. With a frosty face, he shifted gears and slammed on the accelerator.

The car sped all the way back to the Ou Mansion. With a sharp drift, Ou Jue parked the car, slammed the door shut without sparing Xiyan a glance, and stormed off inside.

Xiyan silently unbuckled her seatbelt and followed him in.

With Ou Xiaoluo missing, the entire Ou Family felt suffused with a heavy, oppressive gloom.

Grandma Ou had been bedridden the whole time. After changing into the clothes the servants brought her, Xiyan went to check on Grandma Ou.

It just really, truly didn’t feel right inside her heart.

When she came downstairs from the second floor, it was already six-thirty in the evening.

Ou Jue was nowhere to be seen.

Xiyan turned to ask one of the servants, "Where’s Ou Jue?"

"Miss Xia, our young master just stepped out."

Out at this time.

Ou Jue... must have gone to meet Xia Shiyi.

For some reason, her chest felt unbearably tight.

Clearly, she was afraid Xia Shiyi would act recklessly and wanted Ou Jue to go.

But at the same time, deep inside her, there was a strong voice desperately crying out for him not to go.

She wanted him to refuse outright.

If only Ou Jue insisted on not going, Xia Shiyi wouldn’t be able to push Xiyan to keep matchmaking them, would she?

But why did he... actually go?
