"Who would have thought?" Mrs. Guan sighed, "But in this case, Chuyi and Shiqian seem like a better match."
As soon as she said this, the people on the Ou family side fell silent for a moment.
"Haha, my precious daughter of the Ou family, who isnāt she a match for?" Then, Ou ZhenTing suddenly laughed, changing the subject.
After hearing this, for some reason, Xia Chuyi felt a strange sensation in her heart.
Does Ou Jiang...her dad, not like Huo Shiqian?
No, that canāt be right. She had heard him praise Huo Shiqian before!
She shook her head secretly, surely she was mistaken.
Then, everyone began discussing the family recognition banquet.
Because it was Xia Chuyiās return to the Ou family as a recognition ceremony, Old Sir Guan agreed cheerfully to lend a store for the Ou familyās use.
"I plan to invite all the military and political figures from the Capital City to the banquet," Ou ZhenTing said earnestly, "As for other military districts, those old guys I know, I will also send invitations."
"Those peopleās younger generations are about Chuyiās age, so Iāll invite them too, to help Chuyi integrate into the circle early."
"And then...at that time..."
Listening on the side, Xia Chuyi couldnāt help but feel that Ou ZhenTingās family recognition banquet wasnāt just about having a few witnesses for a meal; it was going to be a grand event.
"This...isnāt it too grand?" Xia Chuyi finally couldnāt help but interject.
Mrs. Ou, hearing this, smiled slightly, patting her hand, and said, "Itās not grand, just inviting everyone for a meal, formally introducing you."
"That way, whenever you meet people in the future, they will know you are our daughter." Mrs. Ou explained gently.
But the more she explained, the more Xia Chuyi felt a difference in perception between herself and her parents.
Seeing her troubled expression, Mrs. Ou immediately asked with concern, "Whatās wrong? Chuyi, you... donāt want to?"
Not want to?
Seeing Mrs. Ouās cautious expression, how could Xia Chuyi dare to say anything?
"No, itās nothing, as long as youāre happy," Xia Chuyi said calmly.
After discussing matters, Mrs. Ou reluctantly parted ways with her for a long time before finally asking Ou Jun to take her back to school.
By the time Ou Jun dropped her back at school, it was almost dark.
At the school gate, Ou Jun said to Xia Chuyi, "Let me walk you in."
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi immediately said, "Big brother, thereās no need. Iāll go in by myself!"
Avoiding any misunderstanding from Ou Jun due to her tone, Xia Chuyi added, "Big brother, you and mom and dad donāt need to treat me like a child. Really, thereās no need."
"Otherwise, with you all being like this, I will feel a lot of pressure," Xia Chuyi finally couldnāt help but say with a hint of helplessness.
Seeing her like this, Ou Junās expression turned a little apologetic, "Chuyi, we didnāt mean to cause you any inconvenience."
"Inconvenience is not quite it..." Xia Chuyi responded, shaking her head, about to say something.
"Ou Jun!" A sudden scolding came from the side, interrupting their conversation.
Xia Chuyi and Ou Jun turned their heads, only to see Liu Yingying walking over with her head held high.
"Didnāt you tell me before that you rejected me because you have a fiancĆ©e?" Liu Yingying looked at Xia Chuyi disdainfully and said, "Then what is she doing here?"
"Did you take a liking to someone as lowly as her?" Evidently, previous incidents left Liu Yingying very displeased with Xia Chuyi.
Hearing this, both Xia Chuyi and Ou Jun frowned simultaneously.
