After Marrying the Officer Chapter 688: Huo Shiqian is her backup choice

Xia Chuyi thought to herself, "They ca to attend Jiang Fengqi’s initiation banquet, how could they just run off in the middle?"

That’s just too out of line.

Fortunately, by this point, Jiang Shuqin’s mood had completely recovered.

After hearing Xia Chuyi’s words, Jiang Shuqin nodded in agreent and said, "Mhm, let’s go, Chuyi, we’re heading back!"

Xia Chuyi also nodded, and together, the two of them headed toward the Jiang Family’s ho.

As they walked, Jiang Shuqin suddenly smacked her forehead and exclaid, "Oh, that’s right, I forgot to ntion sothing important to you!"

Jiang Shuqin said, "Chuyi, the reason I was looking for you earlier was actually to talk to you about Liu Yingying!"

Jiang Shuqin slapped her head in rare speechlessness and anxiously said to Xia Chuyi, "Then I bumped into Song Zhicheng and almost forgot this important matter!"

"Look at my mory!" Jiang Shuqin shook her head disapprovingly, very much disliking her own forgetfulness.

"Song Yingying?" When Xia Chuyi heard Jiang Shuqin’s words, she was initially surprised, then she rembered the previous incident.

Xia Chuyi nodded slightly and said to Jiang Shuqin, "I rember, you were indeed trying to ask soone about this matter before, weren’t you?"

The person she was referring to, she guessed, was Ou Cong.

However, she did not deliberately expose Jiang Shuqin but raised her eyebrows and asked, "What did you find out?"

Upon Xia Chuyi’s question, Jiang Shuqin pouted and said, "Oh, Chuyi, let tell you, that Liu Yingying, she’s the child of Mr. Liu from above."

"Mr. Liu?" Xia Chuyi furrowed her brows slightly, puzzled.

Jiang Shuqin nodded and continued, "Yes, that’s Mr. Liu."

"This Mr. Liu, I had heard my elders ntion him before, saying that his career is progressing smoothly and he has good prospects for further promotion."

"That’s why you see," Jiang Shuqin said as she helplessly shook her head, "my sister isn’t too fond of Liu Yingying, but we still have to treat her as an honored guest."

Hearing all this, what was there that Xia Chuyi couldn’t understand?

Mr. Liu’s career was on the rise, which ant Liu Yingying, his daughter, benefited from his success.

However, upon reflection, Xia Chuyi didn’t rember a person like Mr. Liu, which ant that he probably hadn’t made it to a high position.

At this mont, Jiang Shuqin went on, "Speaking of which, it’s because he wanted to climb higher that Mr. Liu called his daughter Liu Yingying back from abroad."

"It’s said it’s all for the sake of a marriage alliance, looking for supporters."

Jiang Shuqin curled her lip and spread her hands, "Otherwise, do you think soone as arrogant as Liu Yingying would be actively socializing?"

"She’s looking for a marriage partner for herself!" Jiang Shuqin shook her head.

"And for their family to seek a marriage alliance, it would usually be amongst a few families—the Huo Family, the Guo family, the Ou Family, including Song Zhicheng’s family and the likes."

"However, there aren’t many eligible bachelors in these families... The best marriage candidates would co from these families and would ideally be from the main line of descent, soone with a bit of clout."

"So, the choices available to Liu Yingying are really quite limited."

After a slight pause, Jiang Shuqin looked aningfully at Xia Chuyi and continued, "My guess is that Huo Shiqian from your family is probably one of her options."

"And moreover, his ranking on that list is probably quite high; he might even be the top choice."

There’s no help for it, given that Huo Shiqian is the most outstanding among his generation in the Capital City Circle in all aspects, and he also cos from the Huo family. Naturally, he’s a hot commodity for a marriage alliance.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi: ...
