Ou Jun heard Huo Shiqian say, "Chuyi is indeed her biological child," his eyes imdiately showed disapproval, stating firmly, "I don’t believe it."
Huo Shiqian shook his head gently, and spoke softly, "Ou Jun, this isn’t about whether you believe it or not."
"This is sothing that might genuinely exist." Huo Shiqian continued, "Ou Jun, you can’t act impulsively like Xiao Cong, driven by emotions."
"Without concrete evidence, acting impulsively can lead to undesirable consequences."
After a short silence, Huo Shiqian gave Ou Jun ti to react before saying, "I already know everything about Cao Guihua."
"Ou Jun, Chuyi is my person, and I won’t allow anything that might hurt her to happen."
Upon hearing this, Ou Jun imdiately said, "It won’t!"
"Even if Chuyi is not Jiao Jiao, I will still treat her as a sister." Ou Jun spoke these words quickly and with conviction.
In fact, his adoption of Chuyi as his sworn sister occurred before he knew that Chuyi might be Jiao Jiao.
Therefore, regarding this matter, Ou Jun was absolutely sure.
"Moreover, my mother has t Chuyi and also treats Chuyi as Jiao Jiao," Ou Jun thought for a mont and added, "So, even if Chuyi isn’t the real Jiao Jiao, I think my mother will like her too."
"You also know, my mother is not in good health. Even if Chuyi joins the Ou Jiao as a sworn daughter, it would cheer my mother up."
However, Huo Shiqian shook his head and said, "Ou Jun, are you sure you can speak for others?"
"Are you sure you can represent Uncle Ou, Aunt Ou, or even Xiao Cong?" Huo Shiqian’s voice cooled as he asserted, "You can’t."
"Also, besides your own family, what about outsiders? How will they view it?" Huo Shiqian’s gaze grew even colder as he said, "With the incident involving Cao Guihua already having occurred once, Chuyi will face a lot of slander."
The air on both ends of the phone suddenly fell silent.
After a mont, Huo Shiqian’s tone grew heavier as he said, "Ou Jun, if Chuyi is not Ou Jiao, then what right do you have to let her face those criticisms?"
As he said this, Huo Shiqian’s expression was extrely cold.
To him, Chuyi was the most important; the health and mood of Mrs. Ou were of no concern to him.
The Ou Jun on the other end of the phone fell silent for a mont and then said, "But she could indeed be Jiao Jiao."
This was a rare insistence from Ou Jun.
From all the evidence gathered, his intuition, Mother Xia’s reactions, the possible ’interdiary’ Xia Lan between Chuyi and Cao Guihua, all signs indicated that Chuyi might be Jiao Jiao.
Hearing this, Huo Shiqian finally cald down and said, "Indeed, that is also a possibility."
"That is the second scenario I wanted to ntion."
"What if Chuyi is indeed the real mber of the Ou Family, but Mother Xia doesn’t acknowledge it? What if she never acknowledges it?" Huo Shiqian said this particularly calmly and rationally, "If that’s the case, what can you do?"
Ou Jun fell into silence.
This was indeed the biggest problem.
No matter how much they doubted or were sure, without Mother Xia’s acknowledgnt... for them, it was actually lacking the most crucial piece of evidence.
Two tokens, swaddling clothes, appeared on soone unrelated.
The Heavenly Book Jade, still not found.
Ou Jun had never seen it on Xia Chuyi, and when subordinates inquired in Heshan Village, no one ntioned it—after all, those were tumultuous tis, and those who had jade dared not show it.
