Chapter 843: Rejecting Ou Jun

However, knowing that Jiang Shuqin and Ou Cong had an unusual relationship, she didn’t say much more, simply stating, "This matter, let’s not discuss it further. I’ve already mentioned it, and I hope this time is the last."

Jiang Shuqin saw that Xia Chuyi’s expression was calm, but her tone was firm. In the end, she said nothing more, only, "Alright then."

With that conversation concluded, the two of them returned to the dormitory together.

Shortly after returning to the dormitory, Xia Chuyi received an office notification that someone had called her.

The call was from Ou Jun, and the purpose was still to apologize to her, and he casually mentioned taking her to cut the stones someday.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi thought for a moment and said, "Brother, I think it’s better not."

"Between you and me, there’s nothing really, but..." Xia Chuyi carefully chose her words, "I’m afraid Second Young Master Ou might continue to misunderstand."

Xia Chuyi said earnestly, "So, brother, regarding the stone cutting and the Jade Conference, I’ll go by myself."

"Anyway, I know where Fan San is. Give me his contact information, and I’ll reach out to him directly."

On the other end, Ou Jun was silent for a long time before saying, "Well... okay then."

Seeing Ou Jun agree, Xia Chuyi immediately broke into a smile and said, "Thank you, brother!"

After hanging up the phone, at the Ou family mansion.

"So, what did the girl say?" Seeing this, Ou ZhenTing asked with concern.

Ou Jun shook his head, indicating it wasn’t going well, and said, "She plans to attend the stone cutting and Jade Conference by herself."

Upon hearing this, Ou ZhenTing sighed deeply and said, "I hope Professor Qin can send back the DNA results soon..."

Just as they were talking.

"What are you two father and son doing here so secretively?" Mrs. Ou suddenly appeared in the study, smiling and asking.

"Nothing!" Ou ZhenTing and Ou Jun said in unison.

Mrs. Ou’s instincts were sharp. Seeing this, the smile she originally had disappeared immediately, and she said, "You... you... is it about Jiao Jiao?"

"No, you’re overthinking," Ou ZhenTing immediately regained his usual composure, smiled, and said, "It’s a diplomatic matter."

"Didn’t we previously send an expert abroad for an international aid request? We were discussing this matter."

"Really?" Mrs. Ou was still skeptical.

Therefore, Ou ZhenTing maintained a calm expression while meeting his wife’s gaze until her doubts were dispelled.

As he watched the suspicion fade from Mrs. Ou’s eyes, a deep sense of loss welled up.

Ou ZhenTing and Ou Jun exchanged a glance, filled with guilt in their hearts.

However, soon, everything would be resolved!

The Jade Conference was scheduled for half a month later. Before that, Xia Chuyi resolved three matters.

First, with the help of Professor Bao, Xia Pan and Xia Ming were allowed to attend Jing University Affiliated Primary School as transfer students.

Second, she received approval from the school to complete her credits ahead of schedule and graduate early.

Third, Xia Chuyi went to Fan San’s place and had the first batch of Myanmar stones fully extracted—because the first batch had been stored in the space for a long time, their quality naturally improved.

Xia Chuyi still remembered the continuous look of amazement on Fan San’s face as he extracted jade from the stones one by one for her.

Although not every Myanmar stone eventually yielded top-tier jade, all the original stones produced jade!
