A wealthy family recognizes my relatives? But I am already a billionaire.

Chapter 347 Obsessive-compulsive disorder

"Ms. Xu, I know you have tried your best. This is not the result I want to see. My father has never regretted a promise to anyone in his life. I didn't expect that the first time he regretted a promise would be you." When Mrs. Wu mentioned this, her face was full of guilt.

The old lady slept for two hours in the hotel, but she still looked tired.

Old Master Wu was lying on the hospital bed, half dead, and Xu Youyou couldn't pull him up to do things for her.

There are still seven days left before the mission deadline, and Xu Youyou is still staying in the ward. Although she knows that the hope is slim, she still can't help but imagine, what if?

Old Mrs. Wu was a person who could not sit still. She could not help but pull the quilts on the bed. These quilts were all brought from her home.

Xu Youyou looked at the white quilt embroidered with a few small flowers. After being tidied by Old Mrs. Wu, the quilt was now neatly covering the old man, and the small flowers fell right on the old man's shoulders.

"Old lady, do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder?" Xu Youyou asked casually.

The old lady said a little embarrassedly: "I have had this old problem all my life. To be more specific, my father was like this too. My brother was like this when he was alive. Even Xiaoguang is like this. It is simply an old tradition in our Wu family."

I couldn't help laughing when I heard that. As I was laughing, I suddenly realized something.

She turned her head and pretended to look at the scenery outside the window, but she was actually talking to the system.

"You said that only the Wu family can find my box. Can you help me find it, old lady?"

The system responded quickly: [That depends on whether she has learned real skills.]

Xu Youyou looked suspicious. She had tried to hint at the old lady many times, but the result was very disappointing. Although the old lady vaguely knew that the old man was not an ordinary person, she had never been involved in his affairs.

According to the old man, "It's a new era now. You girls can study, work, and walk the world with dignity. There's no need to learn these family-inherited skills."

Just when Xu Youyou was filled with despair, the system suddenly said:

【Character determines destiny.】

Xu Youyou felt confused and wanted to ask a few more questions, but the system didn't give any response.

When she turned around, she saw the old lady peeling an apple. After peeling the apple, she cut it into eight very regular small pieces, arranged them in the shape of a flower on the plate, inserted toothpicks, and called to Xu Youyou: "Miss Xu, come and have some apples."

Xu Youyou had just taken the plate of apples when she suddenly heard a voice.

"The apples in the south are crooked, and I don't know how to rearrange them."

Xu Youyou paused holding the plate of apples and almost dropped the whole plate of apples on the ground. She looked down and saw that the apple in the south of the plate was indeed placed a little crookedly.

At this moment, she didn't care whether the apple was placed straight or not.

She had heard this voice before.

This is the old man's voice.

Could she hear the old man's thoughts?

Xu Youyou suddenly remembered where she last heard her inner voice. It was on that antique, the lacquer tray.

It had been so long that she even forgot she had this golden finger.

How did the system describe this golden finger reward at that time?

Correct!

“The sound comes and goes!”

Xu Youyou was extremely grateful for the system's reward. Being able to hear the old man's voice at this time might help him get better.

Xu Youyou was not in a hurry to eat the apple. Instead, she went to the bedside of the still unconscious old man and said, "Old man, please wake up soon. Everyone is looking forward to your recovery."

"This little girl is quite anxious. It's a pity that I can't wake up even if I want to. Although my physical features are still there, my soul has left my body. I probably can't go back."

Xu Youyou felt even sadder after hearing this. Medically speaking, the old man was still alive, but from a supernatural perspective, he was almost dead.

However, the idea of ​​the soul leaving the body is enough to explain why the old man could see that the apple was crooked even though he was lying there with his eyes closed.

"Quilt, quilt! This is not how you cover yourself with a quilt!"

The old man said anxiously.

Only Xu Youyou could hear his voice in the room. Old Mrs. Wu had a worried look on her face, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Xu Youyou couldn't help but ask, "Is this quilt too thin and the old man feels cold?"

"Who feels cold? The little flowers on this flowery quilt must be placed at the bottom. Now you are using the place where I usually cover my feet to cover my shoulders. This is really a mistake on top of a mistake!" said the old man.

Xu Youyou suddenly stood up and turned the quilt 180 degrees. The small flower patterns that originally covered her shoulders now fell at the old man's feet.

Old Mrs. Wu looked at her in surprise.

Xu Youyou explained awkwardly, "Flowers and plants all grow on the ground. I think it's more down-to-earth to build it like this now. I'm sure the old man will like it more."

Although Mrs. Wu had severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, she did not change it because she saw that the quilt was neatly covered without a trace of mess.

The voice from the old man's spirit was filled with surprise: "What's going on? This little girl seems to be able to hear my voice? Can she see my spirit?"

As the old man said this, his soul suddenly rushed towards Xu Youyou from in front of her.

Despite such a horrifying scene, Xu Youyou didn't react at all.

"She can't see."

Just when the old man thought it was a coincidence, Xu Youyou suddenly said, "I can hear it."

Old Mrs. Wu:?

"Miss Xu, what did you hear?" asked Mrs. Wu.

Xu Youyou didn't want to appear too strange, so she said casually, "I heard birds singing outside."

Old Mrs. Wu said nothing more.

After Xu Youyou said a few perfunctory words, she found a reason to send Old Lady Wu out of the ward.

There was no one else in the room, so she went to the bedside and said, "Old man, I can hear some strange noises. I think you've been guarding the safe for your whole life, and you've taken all ninety-nine steps, but this last step was broken in your hands. You must feel bad."

"Oh, this little girl can really hear!" The old man's shouting voice reached Xu Youyou's ears.

The fact is indeed the same as Xu Youyou said. The old man has kept his promises all his life. To a certain extent, it is not only because of his noble character, but also because his obsessive-compulsive disorder has long been terminal.

To him, making a promise but failing to keep it was no different from killing him.

In his current situation, as he was about to die, what he was most concerned about was not the future of his descendants, but the last safe deposit box he had.

Only this last one is missing!

He will be able to complete the task assigned to him by the family!
