"He smiled, this little guy actually smiled at me." Old Mr. Ou was overjoyed at seeing Gong Can, completely captivated.
His wife had long since passed away, and his youngest son had been gone for over a decade, his oldest son was often away, and his grandson's visits were few and far between throughout the year.
Only Ou Manhui, this daughter of his, has stayed with the Ou Family all these years, but she's been alone, hasn't spoken to him for many years, and kept herself shut away in the manor.
Ou Yimo, however, would often come to keep him company, but being the illegitimate daughter of his younger son from outside, it was impossible to say there were no grudges.
