Chapter 689 -s 689: Return to the Jiang Family

Seeing Xia Chuyi hadn’t responded to her, Jiang Shuqin became immediately anxious and hurriedly said, "Chuyi, aren’t you worried at all?"

Xia Chuyi spread her hands, smiling, "Worry? What’s the use of worrying?"

"...You are really calm," Jiang Shuqin was left speechless.

Then, she heard Jiang Shuqin suddenly sigh and say to Xia Chu, "You and my sister are exactly alike, the whole ’the Emperor isn’t in a hurry, but his eunuchs are.’"

"Forget it, I’m too lazy to bother with you!"

"It’s not that we’re not worried, it’s just that some things are out of our hands even if we are worried," Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but smile lightly after hearing Jiang Shuqin’s words, saying, "If worrying could solve problems, I would definitely be more worried than you."

"But in reality, we aren’t sure about Liu Yingying’s matter."

"First, her marriage partner might not necessarily be Huo Shiqian. Secondly, even if she wants to have a marital alliance with the Huo Family, Huo Shiqian won’t agree."

Xia Chuyi spoke with utter certainty.

Because she had a lot of confidence in her Uncle Liberation Army.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuqin shook her head in incomprehension, saying, "You’re too optimistic."

"I was fairly trusting of Huo Shiqian as a person, but his parents?" Jiang Shuqin continued, "In families like ours, sometimes we have no control over our marriages."

"And so-called autonomy is just the ability to make a choice within certain conditions."

Jiang Shuqin meant that given Xia Chuyi’s situation, she shouldn’t be within the circle’s range of choices.

Xia Chuyi simply smiled, saying calmly, "Don’t worry, I have a plan."

In her previous life, Huo Shiqian had been single all his life without her.

In this life with her, Xia Chuyi didn’t believe Huo Shiqian would be with any other woman.

Furthermore, Huo Zhongcheng’s leaving was tantamount to acknowledging her.

The only obstacle was Su Susu.

But as it happened, Su Susu wasn’t Huo Shiqian’s biological mother and didn’t have much say.

Therefore, Xia Chuyi’s calmness was largely based on her objective analysis.

Seeing Xia Chuyi so calm, Jiang Shuqin was the one who became unsteady, shaking her head, but soon they reached the back door of the Jiang Family’s home.

Jiang Shuqin pointed to the Jiang Family’s back door ahead and said to Xia Chuyi, "We’re here."

After a brief pause, Jiang Shuqin added, "About that issue just now, let’s not talk about it anymore, as long as you know what you’re doing."

"Mhm, I understand," Xia Chuyi nodded, smiling at Jiang Shuqin, "Thank you, Shuqin."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuqin immediately rolled her eyes and waved her hand, saying, "Why are you thanking me for nothing? Are you still being polite with me, Chuyi?"

Seeing this, Xia Chuyi broke into laughter.

Sometimes Jiang Shuqin was really a treasure.

Since the two had been away for a while, now upon returning, they saw that many people were already gone from the banquet—it looked like it was coming to an end.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Shuqin was somewhat annoyed, smacking her head saying, "Oh no, I brought you here to send off my sister and help liven up the place."

"But because I lost my temper, now the banquet is almost over by the time I’ve brought you back."

Jiang Shuqin’s face flushed slightly as she said, "I’ll go apologize to my sister!"

But just as Jiang Shuqin had finished speaking, Jiang Fengqi happened to come out from inside.

"You’re back?" Jiang Fengqi asked with concern upon seeing them, "Do you want to eat something? Shall I ask aunty to warm it up for you?"
