Capítulo 953: Chapter 953: Is Xia Chuyi Actually Ou Jiao?

Huo Shiqian frowned slightly, glanced at his father, and then at the gifts brought by the guards.

After a brief moment of thought, Huo Shiqian said, “It’s just a gift, Uncle, you don’t have to overthink it.”

Don’t have to overthink it?

Ou ZhenTing felt that even if he used a hair to think, he would know that Huo Shiqian was coveting his precious daughter!

So, at this moment, Ou ZhenTing truly did not trust Huo Shiqian.

However, Su Susu, on the side, was very satisfied with Huo Shiqian’s statement.

Sure enough, Shiqian had already agreed to the marriage alliance!

Su Susu felt very comfortable in her heart.

If that’s the case, then Shiqian and Xia Chuyi, that country girl, must have broken up long ago.

Thinking this in her heart, Su Susu showed a slightly smug smile on her face, and followed Huo Shiqian’s words smoothly, saying, “Yes, General Ou, you don’t have to overthink it. These gifts are just a token of our intention.”

“Old Huo and I really like your daughter,” Su Susu said, “If she marries into our family, I will definitely treat her as my own daughter.”

Treat her as your own daughter?

Hearing this, Ou ZhenTing’s mood did not improve, but he became even more dissatisfied: His precious daughter had just returned home, and the family hadn’t even spent much time with her, does she need this outsider Su Susu to treat Chuyi as her ‘own daughter’?

“I’m sorry, our Jiao Jiao is still young, and we’re not considering it at the moment.” Ou ZhenTing was unyielding and rejected directly.

Upon hearing this, Su Susu was not angry; instead, she laughed, “General Ou, you’re thinking too far ahead. Marriage can’t happen that fast, can it? I just mean for the kids to get to know each other.”

It was obvious that Su Susu and Ou ZhenTing were not on the same wavelength.

However, Su Susu’s words let Ou ZhenTing know—she was unaware of Huo Shiqian and Jiao Jiao’s relationship.

As such, his emotions toward Huo Shiqian eased quite a bit.

“Let the children handle their own affairs,” Ou ZhenTing started to defer.

Having said this much, Ou ZhenTing’s attitude remained ambiguous, or perhaps more like evasive.

Seeing this situation, Su Susu was somewhat dissatisfied.

However, thinking about Xia Chuyi, Su Susu still felt that ‘Ou Jiao’ was better.

“General Ou is right; let the children make their own decisions.” With that, Su Susu looked around and said, “By the way, where is today’s leading figure?”

“I haven’t met this child yet.” Su Susu said kindly, “‘Ou Jiao,’ ‘Jiao Jiao,’ just hearing this name, I feel like we’re destined to get along, we’d really hit it off…”

As soon as the word ‘hit it off’ was spoken, Ou ZhenTing suddenly called in the direction of the kitchen, “Jiao Jiao!”

Upon hearing this, Su Susu immediately showed what she thought was her most gentle and kind smile, turned around, and prepared to greet “Ou Jiao.”

“This child must be Ou Jiao, really a…” At the same time she turned around, Su Susu had already begun to speak, preparing to use words to foster a good relationship with “Ou Jiao.”

However, as soon as Su Susu saw “Ou Jiao’s” appearance clearly, her words stopped abruptly.

“Xia… Xia Chuyi?” Su Susu’s eyes widened in an instant, exclaiming softly.

Upon hearing this, Ou ZhenTing glanced at her and asked in surprise, “You know Jiao Jiao?”

But from the earlier conversation, he hadn’t noticed at all.

Ou ZhenTing couldn’t help but glance at Huo Shiqian and Huo Zhongcheng.
