Chapter 312 Meet an Old Friend in a Foreign Country
Though Ouyang Ziqian kept investigating many things and protecting the safety of Xia Xiaoluo, he didn’t know everything clearly, esp. the specific facts. Of course, he also knew that Ling Tianyi wouldn’t give up Xia Xiaoluo easily. He chose to abandon Xia Xiaoluo under the conflicts of interests, so it meant that he had no choice but had to do so. As a result, once all the things were settled, he would definitely come to find her.
Ouyang Ziqian knew that Xia Xiaoluo was soft-hearted and she loved Ling Tianyi very much, so he was afraid that Xia Xiaoluo would go back to find Ling Tianyi one day. In Ouyang Ziqian’s mind, if Xia Xiaoluo did that, for her it would be like jumping into a fiery pit and she would become very miserable. Because Ling Tianyi could give up Xia Xiaoluo once for the sake of interests, it was possible for him to give her up for the second time. And he couldn’t guarantee that he could get the news that Xia Xiaoluo was in danger timely and help her in time every time.
Ouyang Ziqian didn’t dare to delay too much time. He went to find a trusted stylist to help Xia Xiaoluo to get changed from her head to toe directly. Even if he had engraved her in his mind, he couldn’t recognize her at once.
“I think there’s no problem avoiding the surveillance.” Ouyang Ziqian said gently with a smile on the corner of his mouth. He was satisfied with Xia Xiaoluo’s new look.
“Well! That’s good!” Xia Xiaoluo looked at herself in the mirror, and her expression was somewhat decadent. Once she thought that she was going to leave A City and went to the distant Y Country with Ouyang Ziqian, she still felt heartbroken because she was still worried about Ling Tianyi.
Xia Xiaoluo smiled bitterly, and then she went to the sofa and sat down.
At this time, Ouyang Ziqian shook his head suddenly and said to Xia Xiaoluo, “No, it’s not enough!”
Xia Xiaoluo was stunned. She didn’t know what was wrong with her. She frowned and asked Ouyang Ziqian, “Senior Ouyang, what’s wrong? I think I have become a totally different person and even I could hardly recognize myself!”
Ouyang Ziqian patted Xia Xiaoluo’s shoulders and asked her to sit down.
“Don’t worry, Xiaoluo.” Ouyang Ziqian calmed Xia Xiaoluo down first, letting her not be too nervous. “Xiaoluo, there is no problem with your dress, but it’s just your walking posture and your figure.”
“Ah?” Xia Xiaoluo was stunned. “There seems to be a problem.”
The stylist said to Ouyang Ziqian and Xia Xiaoluo, “Childe Ouyang and Miss Xia, don’t worry about it. The figure can be covered with loose clothes. As for the walking posture, there is even no need to worry, because I have already considered it and prepared a secret weapon for you.”
The stylist finished and pushed a wheelchair to them, “Miss Xia doesn’t need to walk at all, she just needs to sit on it and it will be fine.”
“I have to pretend to be a disabled woman?” Xia Xiaoluo was unhappy in her heart.
“Xiaoluo, according to the situation now, we don’t have many choices. When we get to Y Country, we won’t use it anymore. What’s more, people who sit on it are not all disabled people. You’ve suffered a lot, so your body is too weak now. It’s understandable to have a wheelchair.” Ouyang Ziqian said, he was afraid that Xia Xiaoluo would be unwilling to do it.
“I know, Senior Ouyang, I will not be so childish. Even if I don’t like it, I will listen to your arrangement and I won’t cause you any trouble.” Xia Xiaoluo said, putting on the loose clothes on the back of the sofa, and then she sat on the wheelchair.
Ouyang Ziqian looked at Xia Xiaoluo’s behavior. He felt distressed because he believed that it was because of his poor arrangement that forced Xia Xiaoluo to sit in a wheelchair, which was a thing she was very reluctant to do. However, it was too late for him to make a better arrangement now, so he just blamed himself for being so useless.
“Xiaoluo, it doesn’t matter. Let’s hold on for a while. When we get to Y Country, everything will be better. Believe me, I will let you live a happy life.” Ouyang Ziqian took Xia Xiaoluo’s hands and looked at her eyes, his tone was firm.
Ouyang Ziqian’s hands were very warm, they could warm the cold hands of Xia Xiaoluo.
Xia Xiaoluo was embarra.s.sed and she took her hands out of Ouyang Ziqian’s palms. Ouyang Ziqian shrugged his shoulders awkwardly and then he said to Xia Xiaoluo with embarra.s.sment, “Xiaoluo, when we arrive in Y Country, let’s learn the language first, then you can go to the university to learn more knowledge after you have learned the language well. What major do you like? Dancing? Cooking? Or anything else, I can arrange it for you.”
“I don’t know when I can learn the language well! I’m afraid that when I get to Y Country, I will become a deaf-mute.” Xia Xiaoluo said, and then she stuck out her tongue. She knew how bad her study was, so she didn’t believe that she could study well.
“Be confident in yourself. You are smart and I believe you!” Ouyang Ziqian encouraged Xia Xiaoluo.
“Xiaoluo, you will leave here by plane tonight. Although I can’t accompany you, Ethan will take you to my apartment in Y Country safely. You will live there for a while and your daily life is not a problem. I have arranged a Chinese-speaking maid for you and she will take care of you.” Ouyang Ziqian said. Actually, he was reluctant to let Xia Xiaoluo go alone, but he had no choice.
“Senior Ouyang, don’t you come with me? Aren’t you going to send me to Y Country?” Xia Xiaoluo was a little anxious.
“Don’t worry, Xiaoluo. I’ll meet you soon.” Ouyang Ziqian said and his face was full of apologies.
“OK, I see!” Xia Xiaoluo didn’t want to embarra.s.s Ouyang Ziqian.
Ouyang Ziqian dared not to take Xia Xiaoluo to stay any longer within the country. Because staying here for one more second would mean more danger. He knew how powerful and potent Ling Tianyi was, so he could only take advantage of this opportunity and send her away safely hurriedly.
At the airport, Xia Xiaoluo changed another dress, sat in a wheelchair with other people’s pa.s.sport. She was taken on the plane by Ethan and other trusted followers arranged by Ouyang Ziqian, flying to Y Country.
However, Ouyang Ziqian dared not to take the same flight with Xia Xiaoluo, because it was so noticeable. Ling Tianyi was not a fool. If he wanted to find Xia Xiaoluo, he would investigate Ouyang Ziqian first.
Ouyang Ziqian sighed a relief in the hotel after he heard that Xia Xiaoluo’s plane had landed safely. He knew it was time to make trouble for Ling Tianyi to confuse the issue. He had to ask Ling Tianyi for Xia Xiaoluo before Ling Tianyi asked him first.
At the same time, Xia Xiaoluo felt that everything she saw in Y Country was new to her. Although it was not the first time for her to go abroad, she still thought it was funny to see the foreigners with blonde hair and green eyes.
“Ethan, why don’t these foreigners with big noses have black hair? They can save money for dyeing their hair!” Xia Xiaoluo sat in the car, asking Ethan who was sitting beside her.
“Well, they really don’t need to dye their hair.” Ethan rolled his eyes. He thought that Xia Xiaoluo was too illogical, so he couldn’t answer her stupid questions.
However, Ethan felt much better when he saw Xia Xiaoluo become happier than she was on the plane. It was good for her, too. At least when Ouyang Ziqian called him next time, he could report that to Ouyang Ziqian to make him relieved.
Ethan knew that Ouyang Ziqian would stay within the country for about a week, and then he would fly to France first and detour to Y Country. During this period, he must take good care of Xia Xiaoluo. Otherwise, if Ouyang Ziqian was angry, he would live a miserable life. Although Ouyang Ziqian’s temperament was gentle and elegant, Ethan knew the temper of this young master who was born with a golden spoon very well. If you didn’t offend the people or things he cared about, he would be modest and tolerant. But once you touched Ouyang Ziqian’s bottom line, you would know his power.
The car arrived at the downstairs of the apartment quickly. Xia Xiaoluo didn’t have any suitcases, so she went upstairs easily.
At this time, Aunt Xiao, the maid, has already prepared the meal well and waited for them.
Aunt Xiao was a woman in her forties. Her husband died in a car accident many years ago. In order to accompany her son to study abroad, she came to Y Country with her son together. She learned some English when she was young, so she was unwilling to stay at home. When her son was studying at school, she came here to be a maid.
Aunt Xiao was very capable, and she was good at communicating. After all, she was selected by Ouyang Ziqian, so she was certainly not bad.
As soon as Xia Xiaoluo entered the room, Aunt Xiao greeted her with great enthusiasm. Looking at Aunt Xiao, Xia Xiaoluo always felt very kind. Finally, after she took a bite of Fish-flavored Pork cooked by Aunt Xiao, she couldn’t help exclaiming, “Aunt Xiaolan?”
Aunt Xiao was stunned. She looked at the girl she called “Miss Xia” carefully, and then her nose twitched, “Xiaoluo? You are Xiaoluo?”
“Aunt Xiao Lan, I’m Xiaoluo. I’m really Xiaoluo. I have been missing you so much these years. I cannot believe we can meet in Y Country. I’m not dreaming, am I?” Xia Xiaoluo jumped into Aunt Xiao’s hug suddenly.
The maid hired by Ouyang Ziqian was Xia Xiaoluo’s favorite aunt Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan was Xia Xiaoluo’s mother’s good friend. When Xia Xiaoluo was a child, she gave Xia Xiaoluo a lot of help and care. Just after she left A City, they lost contact since then.
“Xiaoluo, I don’t expect you are grown up. It’s my fault. I haven’t been able to see you for so many years.” Xiao Lan patted Xia Xiaoluo’s head as if she found her lost daughter who was lost many years ago.
“Did your father and that woman still bully you these years? How are you? How can you come to Y Country alone?” Xiao Lan asked eagerly as if she had 100,000 questions.
“I…” Xia Xiaoluo didn’t know where to start. Many things happened these years, especially in the last one year.
“Well, It’s my fault. Eat something first and don’t be hungry. After dinner, let’s talk about it!” Xiao Lan said and picked up the dishes for Xia Xiaoluo. “Come on, Xiaoluo, I remember that you like to eat the meat best. Have something more.”
“OK.” Xia Xiaoluo nodded. She was hungry. After she met Xiao Lan, she was very happy and her appet.i.te also became better.
After dinner, Xiao Lan and Xia Xiaoluo talked and cried. Ethan sent the rest of the people away. He sat aside alone at last. He didn’t expect that the maid had such a relationship with the girl whom Childe Ouyang liked. He must report it to Childe Ouyang later.
