Seeing Huo Zhongcheng agree to the marriage so readily, Su Susu suddenly began to have so reservations.
However, after thinking it over a bit, Su Susu felt that it was rare for Huo Zhongcheng to agree without opposing her.
So, this was indeed a good opportunity...
"Then, Old Huo, if we do this... will Shiqian agree?" Su Susu shifted her gaze, asking deliberately.
She wouldn’t want people to say she’s a stepmother who mistreats her stepson—who would know that, with all sincerity, she really had Huo Shiqian’s best interests at heart!
Now that Huo Zhongcheng had brought it up first, she was not the initiator.
If soone were to bla, it wouldn’t fall on her.
Su Susu thought she hid her little thoughts well, but Huo Zhongcheng saw through her clearly.
Seeing this, Huo Zhongcheng shook his head slightly and said, "Don’t worry, Shiqian won’t have any objections."
"It’s more you, make sure you don’t find it unsuitable when you see them," Huo Zhongcheng hinted.
Hearing this, Su Susu smiled slightly and said, "How could that be? How could the daughter of the Ou family be unsuitable?"
In Su Susu’s mind, although the daughter born from Ou family’s lineage wasn’t raised by their side, she must still be a good one.
At the very least, as a high-born lady, she must be better than soone like Xia Chuyi from the countryside!
"Alright, as long as you don’t go back on your word." Ou ZhenTing said, "Prepare more for the proposal gifts—make sure they are all good."
Hearing this, Su Susu playfully said, "Old Huo, what do you take for? Can’t I even handle this much?"
"Don’t worry, I will prepare everything properly!"
At the sa ti, at the Liu family in the Capital City.
"Dad, I really think..." Liu Yingying, who also received an invitation, was telling her father, Mr. Liu, "Whether it’s his family background, appearance, or talent, he matches well."
"So, father, taking advantage of this ’recognition party’ at the Ou family, you should have a word with Uncle Ou," Liu Yingying said, holding her head high, "Just say that I’ve taken a liking to Ou Jun and am willing for our families to form an alliance."
"An alliance between the Liu and Ou families?" Despite feeling his daughter’s words were a bit arrogant, Mr. Liu agreed with her proposal, saying, "That’s indeed a good idea."
However, the Ou family has always been neutral; it might not be easy to win them over.
Liu Yingying saw her father’s hesitation and said, "Father, don’t worry. With your daughter’s excellence, even if Ou Jun doesn’t agree now, he surely will in the future."
Liu Yingying was very confident in herself.
Hearing this, Mr. Liu smiled and nodded, kindly saying, "Indeed, our Yingying, having been educated abroad, behaves more gracefully than the children from families here."
Hearing this, Liu Yingying rolled her eyes and said, "Exactly, I can’t stand those who pretend to be gentle and obedient."
"It’s a new society now; we won should have our own independent charm!"
Mr. Liu was very pleased to hear this. His daughter, indeed, had a spirit no less than a man’s!
"Alright, when the ti cos, Dad will talk to Ou ZhenTing," Mr. Liu said, "Although we are in different sectors of military and governnt, he should give so face."
"Moreover, with my daughter being so outstanding, how could she not be a match for his son?"
