23!
Just as expected!
A disdainful sneer spread in the office, and finally, the man who had been leaning there motionless, stood up and sat down in the boss chair behind the desk, "So you're saying when you had this child, you were only about 19, 19 years old, haha, Miss An, you really are not typically frivolous!"
What does that mean?
The woman's complexion immediately changed, "What are you saying? Frivolous?"
What does frivolous mean? Why does he say that her having a child at 19 is being frivolous? Could it be that he has discovered something?
The woman stood there, her heart suddenly clenched!
"What do you mean by that, Mr. Ou? What do you mean by 'frivolous'?"
"Can't you understand? Because you haven't met the qualifications to be a mother, that's why I called you frivolous, don't you get it?"
"..."
It took quite a few seconds, but the woman standing there finally digested his words.
Not qualified to be a mother?
So, the reason he had been asking about her age just now wasn't because he knew about her past, but because, after what happened to Xiaobao today, he thought it was a mother's extreme irresponsibility that caused it, and after learning her age, he had completely decided it was because she was too young when she gave birth to him?
My God!!!
Ye Ning felt for the first time what it meant to be maddened with rage!
It turns out that after so many years, the way this second-generation heir of the Ou family confuses right and wrong had not changed at all!
Ye Ning finally felt a surge of anger rise from her chest, whether he agreed or not, she reached out and directly took her son into her arms, "Mr. Ou, I am grateful that you saved my child, and I am very sorry that he disturbed you for an afternoon, but you have no right to criticize whether I am fit to be a mother."
That's right, he, a single man who had never married or had children, what right did he have to judge whether she was qualified to be a mother?
However, what infuriated her was that this man just sneered at her correction, "I'm not criticizing, that's the fact. As a child's mother, you didn't even take proper care of his basic safety, what else could this be if not negligence?"
"You—"
"Moreover, it has been over three hours since the incident, you've been out of contact with your child for that long. If this was abroad, you would already be facing the risk of losing your custodial rights."
"..."
Ye Ning trembled with rage but found herself speechless.
This utterly despicable second-generation heir, why, after five years, when so many people and things had changed, had his spitefulness and ruthlessness remained the same? With such groundless accusations, didn't he feel any pang of conscience?
Standing there, she forced herself to calm down for a very, very long time, and finally, she cooled down, "Yes, Mr. Ou, what you said is not wrong; the child getting lost is my fault for not taking care of him, I am to blame. But Mr. Ou, as Ou Family Department Store, known as a star-level department store in the city, you also failed to ensure basic security measures, don't you think you bear responsibility too?"
"What did you say?"
"Am I wrong? In this world, which child hasn't gotten lost from their parents? Today you blame me because my child faced danger, claiming it's because I gave birth too young and didn't fulfill a mother's duty. Then what if tomorrow, another child encounters the same danger? What excuse will you find then? When something happens at Ou Family, do you just find someone else to blame?"
