"A common village girl dares to disrespect so," Su Suli grew more and more angry as she thought about it, her chest heaving with frustration.
"Hmph, as long as the person I choose is outstanding enough, I refuse to believe that Shiqian will still be thinking about that crude village girl."
After all, families like ours should be engaging in arranged marriages.
Only a marriage between equals is a match made in heaven.
Su Suli thought to herself: as long as she is truly considering Huo Shiqian’s best interests, she believed everyone would understand her.
With this thought in mind, she finally cald down.
Su Suli returned to the living room and sat on the sofa, mulling over her options.
As for Ou Lianlian, Huo Shiqian truly doesn’t fancy her, so let’s just forget about her, she is after all just an adopted daughter.
Since Huo Shiqian likes soone with Xia Chuyi’s outgoing personality, then she’ll just have to look for soone with that sort of temperant.
Soon, Su Suli had ntally shortlisted a few candidates.
Within their circle, there were indeed several good matches, but how could she arrange for Shiqian to et them?
Now, that was the problem.
As Su Suli was deep in contemplation, Huo Zhongcheng suddenly returned.
"Suli, are you daydreaming here?" Huo Zhongcheng entered, hung up his coat on the rack, and asked Su Suli, "I heard Xia Chu ca by just now?"
Upon hearing this, Su Suli’s expression was incredibly casual.
"Mm, she did co by," Su Suli replied nonchalantly.
Huo Zhongcheng chuckled and added, "That child, why didn’t she wait for to return?"
After a pause, he continued: "Did Xia Chu bring any tea leaves?"
"What tea leaves?" At these words, Su Suli was sowhat panicked, clueless as to why Huo Zhongcheng would ask about this.
Huo Zhongcheng explained: "That child just got back from school and ca to the Huo Family, most likely to deliver so local specialties."
"She always brings tea leaves whenever she gives gifts."
"So I guess she must have brought tea leaves this ti as well."
Saying this, Huo Zhongcheng couldn’t help but laugh again and continued, "I still don’t know where she buys them from, but that tea tastes really good, and it really lifts your spirits after drinking."
"Those old guys have co around to mooch it off quite a few tis!"
Clearly, Huo Zhongcheng’s opinion of Xia Chu had improved a great deal because of the tea.
In so ways, this amounted to his recognition of Xia Chuyi.
However, upon hearing Huo Zhongcheng’s remarks, Su Suli’s face changed instantly.
"What’s wrong?" noted Huo Zhongcheng, frowning upon seeing her expression.
"I, I..." For a mont, Su Suli stamred, unsure how to explain that she had thrown away the tea leaves.
Who could have known that a country girl like Xia Chuyi could bring such fine tea?
It was also that damn Xia Chuyi’s fault for gifting sothing other than ordinary tea without any heads-up.
Her own careless action had led her to throw the tea away.
Su Suli felt even more convinced that Xia Chuyi did not know how to behave properly in society.
Although Su Suli didn’t say a word, her expression had already betrayed her.
"Suli!" Huo Zhongcheng watched her for a long ti and sighed before saying, "With Shiqian’s matters, both you and I should interfere less."
These words served as Huo Zhongcheng’s subtle reminder to her not to ddle.
Upon hearing this, Su Suli suddenly stood up, looking aggrieved, and said, "In your eyes, I’m the sort of person who would sche and plot, right?"
Huo Zhongcheng looked at her deeply and said, "I understand Shiqian’s character better than you do; it’s better if we don’t directly intervene in his affairs."
