However, Ou Jun said, "Itâs not really a matter of politeness. Your mom is a family member of a military martyr, so itâs only right for me to come and visit."
Xia Chuyi: Huh, why does that sound so familiar?
When Huo Shiqian went to his uncleâs house, wasnât that the excuse he used?
For the first time, Chuyi had some doubts about Ou Jun.
But if you say Ou Jun has some kind of scheme against her, uh... that doesnât seem likely at all.
From Xia Chuyiâs feeling, Ou Jun genuinely treated her like a little sister...
She thought: Itâs probably because Brother Ou really doesnât get along with "Ou Jiao."
This kind of blood relation is sometimes really unpredictable.
With this thought, Xia Chuyi stopped troubling herself over it.
"Then thank you so much for your kindness, Big Brother," Xia Chuyi said with a smile.
After all, since Ou Jun had already arrived at the hospital, it wouldnât be nice to ask him to leave.
"Chuyi..." Suddenly, Xia Chuyi heard Xia Chengzongâs voice.
She looked in the direction of the sound and upon seeing him, she immediately called out, "Brother!"
The way she called "Brother" made Ou Junâs heart tremble.
In a blink, Xia Chuyi took a few steps towards Xia Chengzong and asked, "Brother, have you finished with the procedures?"
Xia Chengzong, seeing his little sister coming over, quickly approached and said, "Yeah, the procedures are all taken care of."
He even lifted the documents in his hand a bit to show Xia Chuyi.
Xia Chuyi took the documents, looked at them, nodded, and said with a smile, "Since the paperwork is done, Brother, letâs go back to the hospital room and ask Sister Hong to help us with the discharge process."
Xia Chengzong nodded and replied, "Okay."
The interaction between the siblings was extremely affectionate and natural, leaving Ou Jun looking on with a very complex expression. He asked, "Director Chang, I remember, wasnât Chuyi an only child? How come she has a brother?"
Ou Jun recalled that he had met this "brother" beforeâthough at that time, he was only a bit surprised.
Now, thinking about it, Huo Shiqian had found out from the Southwest that Chuyi was supposed to be an only child, so how could a mysterious brother suddenly appear out of nowhere?
"Ah? Oh, that..." Chang Luhui looked at Ou Jun a bit strangely and said, "Chengzong is from Chuyiâs second branch of the family, adopted over almost two years ago from the main family..."
Upon hearing Chang Luhui mention the adoption which took place less than two years ago, Ou Junâs expression finally eased a bit.
As the Public Security Bureau Chief, Chang Luhui was very sensitive to peopleâs emotions.
Seeing this, he felt even more that Ou Jun was acting somewhat strangely.
However, he didnât probe any further for the moment and simply said, "Speaking of which, Chuyiâs mother being hospitalized is related to this matter."
Without explaining too much, Chang Luhui continued, "Fortunately, the sibling relationship between Chuyi and Chengzong is quite good."
There was a note of praise in Chang Luhuiâs tone as he spoke.
Adopting children could often end in them being ungrateful.
As for Xia Chengzong, he had been quite wild before, but ever since he was adopted into Xia Chuyiâs family, he had become more grounded and reliable.
Thus, when Chang Luhui mentioned Xia Chengzong, there was commendation in his voice.
A good sibling relationship?
Ou Jun, who had calmed down a bit already, suddenly became serious again.
Ou Jun raised his voice and called out to Xia Chuyi, "Chuyi!"
He signaled her not to forget the person behind her.
The Xia Chuyi in front turned around immediately upon hearing him.
Xia Chengzong, seeing this, also looked towards Ou Jun.
Before responding to Ou Jun, Xia Chuyi turned her head to the side and softly reminded Xia Chengzong, "Brother, this is Chief Ou, we met him in the Capital City, do you remember?"
