Chapter 287

Adopted daughter?

The man, who was in the midst of his rage, finally paused, "What do you mean?"

Secretary Gao hastily took out his phone, scrolling through to find a few photos, "Young Master, do you remember the jewelry that massively boosted sales when Longfeng had Ou Yuze take over? During that period, Ou Yuze frequently visited various auction houses, and every time he went, he brought along that adopted daughter."

"..."

Ou Mucen stared at the phone for a long while before finally reaching out to take it.

Indeed, those old photos, sent after being taken with a camera, were recognizable at a glance as being from auction houses.

And the people in the photos were clear, his impeccably dressed nephew, and a little girl following behind him.

"The staff at these auction houses remember that little girl because every time the young master of the Ou Family bid on something, he actually consulted the little girl behind him, and nearly every time, he chose correctly. So, they have a deep impression of her."

Indeed, it would leave a deep impression. The girl was only 15 or 16 at the time, having such high talent for identifying jade and stones at such a young age was indeed incredible.

Ou Mucen observed those photos for a while and remembered the first time he brought that woman to the Skywalk.

Indeed, that day she had also helped him buy the best antique in the entire venue.

So, was this the real reason why she was formally adopted by the second household of the Ou Family?

Then, if that’s the case, why did they still send her to prison? Someone with such a high talent would be better off staying with the Longfeng, wouldn’t they? Why lock her up in such a place?

Could there be some secret about her?

Ou Mucen’s brows furrowed slightly, his gaze upon the little girl in the photos on the phone getting darker, "Didn’t you previously receive an invitation to a charity auction hosted by the city government?" noveldrama

"Yes!"

"What’s in it?"

"I heard it’s a relic donated by a family from the Late Qing, a Prestigious Family. But you know, Young Master, it’s hard to say whether it’s real or fake."

"It doesn’t matter, arrange it for me, I’ll go!"

Secretary Gao: "..."

Standing there, he stared at his boss who had already stood up for a full three seconds, not processing the change.

Isn’t it true that he never used to attend these auctions under the guise of charity, where it’s unclear what exactly is being sold? Why has he suddenly changed his mind today?

Secretary Gao was utterly baffled!

But just then, his boss had already tidied up the desk quickly, grabbed his car keys and phone, and left.

Seeing this, Secretary Gao had no choice but to follow him out and make the arrangements.

About half an hour later, Ye Ning, who had just finished her IV drip in the hospital room, received a phone call...

"Hello?"

"How did the doctor describe your condition today?"

As soon as the call connected, the familiar voice of the man on the other end came straight through, emotionless, yet the abrupt tone still made Ye Ning’s fingers tighten involuntarily.

"Dean Ji said I’m much better than yesterday, and that I could walk around more."

"Good, then come downstairs, I’m waiting for you at the hospital entrance!" Having said that, he hung up.
