Ouyang sat in front of his grandfather with a serious look on his face and said softly, "Grandpa, I want to tell you something. I plan to go abroad."

Grandpa Ou was slightly stunned, but then a kind smile appeared on his face and he replied gently: "Go if you want to, Grandpa won't stop you.

However, if we can really bring Ling'er back, that would be perfect!"

Ouyang nodded and continued, "Grandpa, I have already confessed our relationship to Ruoan, and I guess she will tell her family too.

By the way, Mu Shen is also going back to China. Ruo An said that when he comes back, he will come to check your health. So during this time, you must take good care of yourself. I will come back as soon as possible.

As he spoke, Ouyang held his grandfather's hand tightly.

After a pause, Ouyang added, "If there's an emergency that prevents me from returning in time, you can contact Ruoan first to help. I'll save Ruoan's contact information on your phone and have the housekeeper make a copy as well."

After saying that, Ouyang quickly took action and carefully entered Xia Ruoan's phone number into his grandfather's mobile phone, and repeatedly reminded the housekeeper to remember it.

Grandpa Ou smiled and waved his hand, comforting Ouyang: "Don't worry about home, everything is fine. I just have some old ailments, nothing serious. Don't worry and go find Ling'er!"

However, Grandpa Ou suddenly frowned and looked at Ouyang and asked, "Yang'er, do you know where the Zhou family is now? If you go there rashly, where can you find them?"

After hearing this, Ouyang hesitated for a moment, and a trace of confusion and bewilderment appeared on his handsome face.

He opened his mouth slightly and said in a low voice, "I don't know. We agreed that once seven years are up, Ling'er would contact me and meet me. But now the agreed time hasn't arrived yet."

After saying this, he shook his head gently, his eyes revealing deep remorse.

"Grandpa, I didn't even know her hand was injured! And, because of me, she probably won't be able to stand on that glittering stage as the concertmaster again in her lifetime."

At this point, Ouyang's face turned pale as paper, his face full of pain and regret. He bit his lips tightly, as if he wanted to punish himself in this way.

He thought to himself that if he had spent more time with Ling'er and shown her more care and concern, perhaps a tragedy like today would not have happened at all.

"What the hell is going on?" Grandpa Ou, who was always calm and composed, was shocked after hearing this. He stood up from his chair and asked with wide eyes, "Ling'er's hand was injured? And it was because of you? When did this happen? Why have I never heard of it?"

Grandpa Ou's hands trembled with anger as he spoke. After all, Ling'er was the child he had watched grow up, and he had always loved her like his own granddaughter. Later, he even decided that she would become his granddaughter-in-law.

How could he not feel heartbroken and anxious about the misfortune that Ling'er had encountered?

"When she left, didn't she tell everyone that she was going abroad to study violin?" Grandpa Ou frowned and asked suspiciously.

"That's not the case. In fact, half a year before she left, she injured her hand while saving me. The situation was very serious at the time. Not only could she not continue playing the violin, but even her normal life was greatly affected.

Not to mention the so-called further studies, that was just a white lie." Ouyang slowly raised his head, tears blurring his eyes.

He covered his face with his hands, letting the hot tears slide down his cheeks and drip onto the floor at his feet, making a slight sound.

At this moment, his heart was filled with endless guilt and regret, as if the whole world had collapsed at this moment.

"If Ruoan hadn't told me about her injured hand today, I wouldn't have known. She loved the violin so much, but it was ruined because of me. I even blamed her for valuing the violin more than me. What a jerk I am."

Ouyang said sadly with red eyes.

"No wonder! No wonder I've never seen Ling'er in any performances, whether domestically or abroad, over the years.

There doesn't seem to be any problems with the Zhou family's capital chain, and they're doing quite well overseas. "Grandpa Ou looked at his grandson solemnly and said slowly.

Ouyang was naturally aware of the Zhou family's actual situation, but precisely because of this understanding, his inner worries became heavier.

"Grandpa, I'm really scared. When I think about the possibility that Ling'er had some health issues that led her to make this decision and leave us, my heart feels like it's being gnawed by countless ants."

Ouyang clenched his fists tightly, his voice trembling slightly.

"I'd rather believe she left me because she just didn't like me anymore than imagine she was suffering from an illness.

If it was really because of her health, how could I forgive myself? Seven years, how on earth did she manage to get through this long time?

At this point, Ouyang could no longer suppress the grief in his heart. Tears burst out like a dam bursting, and he sobbed, "Seven years, Grandpa. In these seven years, there has not been a single day that I haven't missed her. In the past, I even resented her for being so heartless and cruel, abandoning me like this. But now..."

Grandpa Ou listened to his grandson's story silently, tears already welling up in his eyes.

He reached out his hand, gently embraced Ouyang in his arms, patted his back gently, and comforted him: "In that case, then go find someone. Grandpa doesn't want you to regret this in the future. No matter what decision you make in the end, Grandpa will support you unreservedly."

It’s better to go find him. It’s better than living like a walking corpse now. He has seen everything his grandson has gone through in the past seven years.

He couldn't understand at first how Ling'er could bear to leave his grandson. If it was really like what Ouyang said, that Ling'er left because of her health, then his grandson really owed her.

He didn't even know his girlfriend was sick. How derelict of duty is that?

"Although grandpa can't help you find that person, you can ask Leng Zexi, the boy from the Leng family, for help. I heard that your uncle Zhou's company is in the same city as Zexi's abroad. Maybe he can help you find that person." Grandpa Ou showed him the way.

"Okay, I'll ask Ruoan to ask for me, Grandpa. I haven't been around to take care of you recently, so you have to take care of yourself." Ouyang looked at his grandfather worriedly and said.

"Don't worry, this is just an old problem, I'm used to it. There are people following me at home and in the company, so I'll be fine. But you, no matter what the result is, you have to face it bravely, okay?" Grandpa Ou was also worried that his grandson would do something stupid.
