The celebratory banquet ended on a sour note.
After Xia Chuyi returned ho, the first thing she did was call Huo Shiqian.
"I’ve already heard about the exchange student opportunity," Huo Shiqian said calmly. "I’ve sent soone to the Ou Family to pick you up. We’ll discuss it when we et."
"Okay," Xia Chuyi replied.
Then she hung up the phone.
Not long after she hung up, Huo Shiqian’s people arrived.
"Mom, brother, I’m heading out!" Xia Chuyi said to Mrs. Ou and Ou Jun.
Currently, it was just the three of them in the Ou family ho.
Ou Zhenting had already rushed to the military base to deal with Ou Cong.
And this ti, Mrs. Ou and Ou Jun really had no plans to rescue him.
"Alright, it’s cold outside, don’t stay out too late," Mrs. Ou ca forward and helped Xia Chuyi put on a thick cotton coat. "Go early and co back early."
"Okay," Xia Chuyi nodded. "Mom, it’s so cold outside, you don’t need to see off!"
Even though Mrs. Ou’s health had improved a lot after taking the dicinal food, she still couldn’t withstand the cold wind.
So, co winter, Mrs. Ou would avoid going out if she could.
"I... I’ll just walk to the door, it’s fine," Mrs. Ou said, clearly wanting to see Xia Chuyi off.
"Mom, I’ll walk Chuyi out," Ou Jun suddenly said at this mont.
"Huh?" Xia Chuyi was first taken aback, then realized her brother probably had sothing to say to her, so she said, "Alright."
Seeing this, Mrs. Ou relented and said, "Then Junjun, see Chuyi off, and make sure to tell Huo Shiqian’s driver to drive slowly."
"Alright," Ou Jun replied, and then he said to Xia Chuyi, "Chuyi, let’s go, I’ll see you out."
The so-called "seeing off" was simply escorting Xia Chuyi from the warm house to the courtyard, and then to the gate.
But since there was such a big temperature difference between inside and outside, changing clothes for such a short distance was too much hassle, so Xia Chuyi didn’t want to be "seen off."
However, her brother clearly had sothing to say to her, so Xia Chuyi didn’t object.
Stepping out of the house, Xia Chuyi took a breath of the cold air and asked Ou Jun, "Brother, what is it you want to say to ?"
"Is it about the exchange student opportunity?" Xia Chuyi said. "Don’t worry, I’ll think it through carefully."
Upon hearing this, Ou Jun shook his head, then nodded, and said, "I do want to talk to you about this, but not to persuade you one way or the other."
"I just want to tell you..." Ou Jun began, "This matter, you must discuss it well with Huo Shiqian."
Hearing her brother say this, Xia Chuyi was a bit surprised.
Isn’t her brother placing too much importance on Huo Shiqian’s opinion on this matter? It was the sa at the "Delicious Residence," and now too...
"Brother, are you trying to say that if he doesn’t agree, then I shouldn’t go?" Xia Chuyi speculated.
At this, Ou Jun didn’t hesitate at all and shook his head, saying, "That’s not what I an."
"It’s just..." Ou Jun sighed and finally said, "Caiqin and I... She ntioned that while she was studying abroad, I didn’t show enough care, so we..."
"In any case, Chuyi, if you truly want to have a good relationship with Huo Shiqian," Ou Jun said, "this is sothing you need to think through carefully and discuss with him clearly."
The words from her brother made Xia Chuyi furrow her brows: Fang Caiqin?
