Chapter 81: The Mystery of One's Life (1)

  Ye Zi and I were both sobbing, Ouyang Luo was still being supported by those two people, no one answered 'Lao Da'. He was obviously very impatient.

  "Hey, Miss Ouyang, when are you going to give me the money?" 'Boss' reminded once again.

  The leaves suddenly lifted their heads against him, with hatred in his eyes, "You hurt my brother!"

  "You mean you don't want to give it?" The 'boss' was a bit angry.

  ... Yezi ignored him.

  "Damn it, you dare to fool me?" The big boss was extremely angry, he suddenly picked up the dagger from earlier and prepared to approach Yezi, what is he thinking? No, don't...

  "Yè zi, xiǎoxīn——"

  Translation: "Leaf, be careful——"

  "Leaf, be careful——" I and Ouyang Luo shouted in unison, Ouyang Luo had already broken free from those two people and was walking towards us, but it was too late. By the time Leaf reacted, the dagger was almost close to her. I don't know where the strength came from, the rope binding my feet loosened, and I immediately stood up, knocking down Leaf who was standing beside me.

  "Ah——” A sharp, piercing pain shot through my abdomen, and suddenly everything seemed to be in slow motion. I saw 'Lao Da's' panicked expression as he removed his hand from the dagger, my body went limp and I felt myself falling... was I going to die?

  I closed my eyes and fell into a warm embrace. It's the scent of green tea, Ouyang Luo, is it you?

  "Ouyang Yue, Ouyang Yue! Open your eyes, can you hear me?" It was the voice of Ou Yangluo.

  I opened my eyes, and Ou Yang's handsome face appeared in front of me. His eyes were moist, had he cried? "Ou Yang... sorry... I'm so tired... I want to rest..."

  "No, don't, Little Yu, please, please don't die!" Ye Zi didn't know when she knelt beside me and untied the rope on my hands, her face was already covered in tears.

  "Yèzi...... can you forgive me? Sorry, I shouldn't have disregarded your feelings...... sorry......"

  "Don't... don't... Xiaoyue... sorry... sorry... it's all my fault..." Yezi grasped my hand, crying sadly, I looked at Ouyang Luo, he was also in tears...

  "Ouyang Yue, quickly open your eyes, Ouyang Yue!" Ouyang Luo slapped my cheeks and shouted loudly. But I didn't even have the strength to open my eyes.

  "Call an ambulance quickly!" was Yezi's cry.

  "Uh... she wasn't killed by me, no..."

  "Please, hurry up and call an ambulance..."

  Pain... I feel like I'm losing consciousness. That white, winged thing... is that an angel? She's... waving at me, it seems. I'm going to go now... I'm going to go now.

  Sorry Yezi, I hope in our next life we can still be sisters and Ouyang Luo can still be my devilish older brother...

  I can no longer hear any sound... I can't hear it anymore...... Goodbye, Yezi! Goodbye, my devilish brother......

  "Beep...beep...beep..." I don't know what the sound is, but I've been listening to it for a long time. I slowly opened my eyes, and the ceiling was white. I smelled a fragrance of fresh flowers. Turning my head, there were indeed many fresh flowers beside me. There was an IV needle inserted in my hand. So the beeping sound was the dripping of medicine? Was I in a hospital?

  I'm not dead? I haven't died yet? With great effort, I propped myself up and sat up, yes, I'm still alive, really still alive. But I remember being stabbed in the abdomen with a dagger? And... wait, who's that person lying on the bed?

  "Bang!" The sound came from the doorway, I looked over and saw Yezi standing at the entrance with a shocked expression on her face. The basin of water in her hand had already fallen to the ground, spilling water everywhere.

  "Yèzi——" I called out. At this time, the person lying on the edge of the bed also lifted his head, it was Ouyang Luo, he too looked at me with a surprised expression, and his whole person looked haggard.

  Time seemed to have stopped for a few seconds, I looked at Yezi, her face showed joy, but soon became very guilty. I was about to call out to her, but she suddenly turned around and quickly left the ward. What's wrong with her? Is she still not willing to forgive me?

  "Ouyang Yue——" The Ouyang Luo sitting beside him suddenly called out.

  "Huh?" I looked at Ouyang Luo, he looked very tired and haggard. Had he been guarding this place all along? A warm feeling suddenly surged in my heart...

  He just smiled and stood up, saying "I'll go tell Mom and Dad!" before turning around and leaving the hospital room.

  A few minutes later, the door of the ward was opened, and my father and mother were full of joy. My mother walked to the bedside and held my hand, "Yueyue, you finally woke up, you have been in a coma for 2 weeks!"

  Two weeks, is it that long?

  "It's fine as long as you're awake, it's fine as long as you're awake!" Dad nodded, seeming to let out a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.

  "Ma..." I don't know why, but I couldn't call out the second "ma". Yezi said they weren't my biological parents, is that right?

  "What's wrong with Yueyue?" Mom asked with concern when she saw me looking like I wanted to say something but hesitated.

  "I... I really want to ask if it's true or not, but I couldn't bring myself to ask."

  "You want to ask about your origins?" Dad said suddenly.

  I stared at my dad in shock, his expression was extremely serious. My mom also looked stunned, she glanced at my dad and then turned to look at me. "It's bound to happen...it's still going to happen..."

  "Actually I..."

  "Yes, you are not our own!" Mother's attitude was very serious.

  Compared to when Yehzi told me this secret, I'm not as surprised now. I just want to hear it from Dad and Mom themselves. But now, I shouldn't be calling them "Dad" and "Mom" anymore.

  "Dad sat down on the sofa next to him, lit a cigarette and started smoking. Ouyang Luo also stood with his back to us at the window, looking into the distance, the atmosphere was very solemn. Mom took a deep breath and continued: "We and your biological parents were the best of friends, in college, your dad and mom were a couple that everyone envied, they loved each other very much. Speaking of which, I and Hao also got together because of them!" "Mom" said, looking at "Dad" sitting on the sofa.

  "Dad" didn't say anything, nodding to indicate that she should continue. "Mom" smiled knowingly and continued. "But, the good times didn't last long. At that time, your dad's family was a well-known conglomerate in the business world, and his father, your grandfather, strongly opposed your parents' relationship because he thought your dad should marry a woman of equal social status, not someone from an ordinary background like her. So, they tried every means to obstruct them, even using your mom's family as leverage. In the end, your mom compromised and suggested breaking up with your dad. Heaven knows how unwilling she was!" "Mom" said, her voice choking up. "Your dad left the country and lost contact! Later, your mom discovered she was pregnant, and knowing that her family wouldn't want you, she hid herself away and gave birth to you a year later! Of course, these were things your mom only told us about later."

  Tears had already begun to well up in the corners of "Mom's" eyes, and I too started crying without realizing it... It turned out that my biological parents were a pair of star-crossed lovers...
