Chapter 918: Parental Care

"My goodness, Chuyi, you’re actually General Ou’s child?" Qian Qianqian looked at Xia Chuyi and exclaimed in disbelief, "Initially, Xia Lan still relied on that fake Miss Ou to flaunt around here, but it turns out you are the real Miss Ou!"

Qian Qianqian kept shaking her head.

Xia Chuyi also shook her head and said, "Life is unpredictable, I didn’t expect this either."

"By the way, speaking of Xia Lan..." At this moment, Qian Qianqian suddenly said, "She came to our store looking for you a couple of days ago."

"Looking for me?" Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi was somewhat surprised and frowned, "What did she want with me?"

They didn’t have much of a relationship—if you must say they did, it wasn’t a good one.

"I don’t know, she didn’t make it clear. When she saw you weren’t there, she left." Qian Qianqian recalled and said, "But she seemed quite anxious, like she was avoiding someone."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi pondered for a moment.

She remembered that last time at the Jade Conference, initially Xia Lan was with the Family Cheng, but later when the agreement was signed, Xia Lan was no longer there.

She wondered if Xia Lan was avoiding the Family Cheng.

Also, what could Xia Lan want from her?

Xia Chuyi was puzzled over and over.

Thinking it over, Xia Chuyi said, "I’ll talk to my big brother and the others about this later."

Anyway, Ou Jun was just about to look into Xia Lan’s matter.

After discussing this, because Xia Chuyi was a bit tired today, she turned in early to rest—in the space to recover.

Early the next morning, after washing up, Xia Chuyi got ready with her things to return to school, waiting for Huo Shiqian to pick her up to cancel her leave at school.

As it turned out, before Huo Shiqian’s car arrived, the Ou family’s car did.

Coming to "Youwei" were Ou Zhenting and Mrs. Ou.

"Uncle Ou... Dad, Mom, why are you here?" Xia Chuyi asked in surprise.

They didn’t mention anything about picking her up yesterday.

"Is it because Brother Shiqian couldn’t come?" Xia Chuyi reflexively asked.

Upon hearing this, Ou Zhenting smiled and replied, "Shiqian recently transferred to Beijing, he must be busy."

The response completely evaded the main point.

Xia Chuyi didn’t pick up on Ou Zhenting’s little schemes, just felt a bit awkward and said, "Dad, Mom, really, you didn’t have to come specially; it’s just a short walk to the school."

She really wasn’t lying; it was indeed just a few steps away.

The reason she agreed to have Huo Shiqian pick her up was just to spend more time with Uncle Liberation Army.

With Ou Zhenting coming to pick her up specially, it made her feel quite uneasy.

Who knew, at this moment, Mrs. Ou suddenly sighed and said, "Your dad and I have never taken you to school..."

The words were truly heart-rending.

"Well, alright..." Xia Chuyi felt very embarrassed hearing this and had to say, "But I usually stay at school, so you don’t have to come pick me up every day!"

If she didn’t say this last sentence, she feared Ou Zhenting and Mrs. Ou would really do it.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ou immediately smiled brightly and said, "Alright, alright, we won’t come to pick you up during the week, but we’ll come to pick you up to go home on weekends!"

This was agreed upon last night, that every weekend Xia Chuyi would return to the Ou family to build feelings with the family.

Therefore, Xia Chuyi didn’t decline, she smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Mom."

Their own daughter, just looks more and more adorable.

Ou Zhenting and Mrs. Ou both felt that since Jiao Jiao returned, they truly felt like parents.
