After Marrying the Officer Chapter 796: That Guy Ou Cong

"Hopefully," Jiang Shuqin said, following Xia Chuyi’s sentint.

However, Jiang Shuqin soon pursed her lips and added, "But really, this whole situation wasn’t that complicated in the first place. It’s all because of Ou Cong!"

"If it weren’t for Ou Cong going to look for ’Ou Jiao’—no, I should say Cao Guihua," Jiang Shuqin slamd the table, her voice tinged with irritation, "then Brother Ou could have investigated the matter thoroughly, learned that Cao Guihua wasn’t the real Ou Jiao, and all would be settled, right?"

When Jiang Shuqin said this, there was a sense of frustrated expectations in her tone.

Then, shaking her head, she continued, "It’s all because of him, telling Cao Guihua prematurely about it, making her take the chance to impersonate Ou Jiao."

"Anyway, despite everything being a coincidence, Ou Cong himself is really upset."

Jiang Shuqin’s tone reflected both anger at Ou Cong for the situation and so worry and sympathy for him.

n and won should ideally not sympathize or pity each other too much—sympathy and pity can trigger a chemical reaction in the emotions.

Observing Jiang Shuqin’s expression, Xia thought to herself: This girl has really fallen deeper for Ou Cong.

Moreover, Xia noted that when Jiang Shuqin now spoke about Ou Cong, she no longer called him "that idiot Ou Cong," but rather, "that fellow Ou Cong."

Thinking it over, Xia Chuyi said to Jiang Shuqin, "Shuqin, I have t Brother Ou before, and although he seed a bit gloomy, he didn’t appear overly anxious."

"I think Brother Ou knows what he’s doing," Xia added, "Ou Cong might be unreliable, but Brother Ou is dependable."

"Just relax, once Brother Ou brings back the real Ou Jiao, everything will be alright," Xia comforted Jiang Shuqin.

Hearing Xia’s words, Jiang Shuqin sighed deeply and said, "I hope so."

"But, Ou Cong is still feeling pretty bad," Jiang continued, "and because of what happened, the Ou family seems to be taking this matter more seriously now."

"Ou Cong told that Brother Ou indeed knows what he’s doing and has already traced so clues."

"But..." Jiang sighed again, "since Ou Cong ssed up once, he said his brother and father won’t tell him anything now."

Hearing this, Xia felt no sympathy for Ou Cong at all and said, "I think it’s completely appropriate for Brother Ou not to tell Ou Cong anything."

Xia couldn’t help but shake her head and continue, "After all... Shuqin, you know Second Young Master Ou better than I do. He’s impulsive and acts too much on his feelings."

Hearing this, Jiang touched her own head, "Yeah, that’s true... Hmph, when I see him next, I’m definitely going to give him a piece of my mind!"

"With his temper, if he doesn’t change, when Ou Jiao returns to the Ou family, she might not even want to deal with her own brother!" Jiang suddenly grew stern, assuming a maternal expression.

Seeing her like this, Xia couldn’t help but laugh, thinking to herself: Looking at Shuqin like this, who would believe she isn’t falling too deep?

"Let’s not talk about this anymore," Xia quickly changed the subject, "The school has an orientation for newcors in a few days, and the student council has asked to help. Are you going?"

"Orientation?" Jiang pondered upon being asked by Xia, "I guess not. Ou Cong’s been in a bad mood these days, and as his only friend who is not just an acquaintance, I need to keep an eye on him!"
