CHAPTER 873: CHAPTER 873: PAYING YOU BACK WITH INTEREST (4)

Because of this, he seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black mist, more mysterious and elusive than the Tang Sili she had seen before.

Noticing her questioning gaze, Ou Yanan slightly tilted his head and gently exhaled towards the roof of the car.

"Actually, there’s no need for you to be so tense. After all, we’ve agreed, haven’t we?" Zhao Mengjin seemed a bit puzzled by his sighing expression at that moment.

Ou Yanan squinted his eyes and said, "You’re right. We both agreed, everything can cooperate well." Then, he suddenly turned to look at her: "But, pretending to date me, is it just to placate those elders in your family?"

After Zhao Mengjin was stunned for a moment, alarms went off in her mind, becoming exceptionally vigilant. Because she wasn’t sure if the man in front of her was friend or foe. If she made it clear that she was here to help Gu Nuan investigate the Ou Family, what would this man think?

Would he instantly become her number one enemy?

Clearly, the fleeting expression on her face had already been caught by his sharp gaze. It seemed that Ou Yanan had anticipated this, coldly saying, "Certainly, in your eyes, they, my parents, might all be bad people."

Zhao Mengjin immediately understood his words: "But they are still your parents, so, you definitely wouldn’t think of dealing with them, would you?"

"At the very least, they gave me the gift of life. Without them, I couldn’t even be alive now, let alone be a doctor saving people. Tell me, with every person I save, can I say they didn’t contribute?"

Zhao Mengjin slightly furrowed her elegant eyebrows at his words. It seemed there was some truth in what he said, but it also seemed there wasn’t any logic.

Because of this, she came up with a reason: "Even so, if one’s parents are in the wrong, as children, can they remain silent and do nothing? Let them continue down a wrong path."

In response to her words, Ou Yanan curved the corner of his mouth slightly, let out a cold laugh: "Then you are making assumptions without really understanding them."

Zhao Mengjin became suspicious again: What did he mean by this? What kind of people were Ou Shihua and Ou Chunhua.

And this man in front of her, what kind of man was he really, a man who could clearly distinguish right from wrong?

Zhao Mengjin suddenly became uncertain about everything.

Originally, she thought everything was fine just now, since they had come to an agreement so quickly, it was almost like they were of one mind. As a result, so quickly, his words changed her first impression and perspective.

He was not simple at all.

He was someone whose thoughts were impossible to guess.

Just like Gu Nuan, he was too hard to read.

"Then, what do you think we should do in the future?" Zhao Mengjin said, her lowered head and eyes already deciding not to look at him.

His demeanor easily reminded her of Gu Nuan, which made everything feel eerily contradictory.

It seemed Ou Yanan also turned his head back, just looking at the river in front of him, and said: "What we’re doing right now is just fine."

In response to his words, Zhao Mengjin only curved her lips into an almost imperceptible smile.

"May I ask you one last question, Dr. Ou?"

"Hmm?"

"Earlier in the restaurant, when you stopped my aunt from eating fruit, was it out of a doctor’s professional responsibility and duty, or for other reasons?"

Ou Yanan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "I am a doctor, nothing else."

Zhao Mengjin let out a slow hum from her mouth.
