Chapter 691 Uncle is Coming

"Persuade Shuqin?" Xia Chuyi was even more astonished.

Jiang Fengqi nodded, saying, "Yes, help me persuade her."

Jiang Fengqi sighed and continued, "Shuqin always goes to extremes regarding matters of the heart."

"Once she believes Song Zhicheng betrayed me, she’ll persist in that belief."

"Even if I tell her over and over that I’m fine, she probably won’t believe me."

"So, when I’m not in the country, I hope, Chuyi, you can help me persuade her." Jiang Fengqi looked at Xia Chuyi with a very serious expression.

Xia Chuyi and Jiang Fengqi looked at each other—the serious look in Jiang Fengqi’s eyes reminded her of Jiang Fengqi after she became the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Though she remained single all her life, Jiang Fengqi lived very freely.

Therefore, Xia Chuyi truly believed in what Jiang Fengqi said.

"Sister, don’t worry, I will definitely persuade Shuqin!" Xia Chuyi answered Jiang Fengqi very seriously.

Xia Chuyi’s extreme "seriousness" slightly startled Jiang Fengqi, but Jiang Fengqi quickly recovered and smiled, saying, "Thank you."

Inside the house, Jiang Shuqin, busy with chores, had absolutely no idea that the two outside had already made a "friendly agreement" regarding her.

After finishing the chores and as she prepared to escort Xia Chuyi back to Youwei, Jiang Shuqin curiously asked, "I saw you and my sister chatting happily just now, what were you talking about?"

Hearing Jiang Shuqin’s question, Xia Chuyi smiled and said, "Nothing much, just some matters regarding Spanish."

Jiang Shuqin: ...

A world of academic excellence she couldn’t comprehend.

After Xia Chuyi returned to Youwei and calculated the time, she knew that her uncle and aunt would arrive tomorrow afternoon.

Some people leave, and others arrive.

Sending away Senior Sister Jiang and welcoming her own uncle and aunt, Xia Chuyi was in quite a good mood.

On the following day, the train carrying Xia Chuyi’s relatives from H province would arrive in the Capital City by evening.

At the same time, the train from the Capital City had already arrived in H province.

Due to the scheduling differences, Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia hadn’t yet reached the Capital City when Xia Lan arrived in H province first.

In Ling County, Youwei.

"What, Xia Chuyi hasn’t come back at all?" Xia Lan had just arrived in Ling County and went straight to Xia Chuyi’s Youwei to gather information, only to learn from an employee left behind by Xia Chengzong that Uncle Xia, Aunt Xia, and others had all gone to the Capital City.

Xia Chuyi hasn’t come back?

She hasn’t come back!

Xia Lan bit her lip, suddenly feeling a mix of anger and panic: Xia Chuyi hadn’t returned to Ling County! This was totally unexpected!

If Xia Chuyi hadn’t returned to Ling County, wouldn’t that mean she and Mrs. Ou would meet sooner?

Then her entire plan was ruined!

Frantic, Xia Lan’s eyes darted around, and after a while, she found a place to make a public telephone call and dialed the Ou Family’s number in the Capital City.

The person who answered was a security guard.

"Hello, this is the Ou Mansion, who are you looking for?" the security guard asked.

"Hello, I’m Xia Lan, I’m looking for Miss ’Ou Jiao’," Xia Lan said softly.

The security guard on the other end of the phone hesitated upon hearing it was Xia Lan and asked, "What do you need Miss for?"

The security guard hadn’t intended to connect the call to "Ou Jiao".

After all, their deputy group leader had specifically instructed to sever Xia Lan’s contact with the Ou Family.

The Xia Lan on the phone caught the hesitation in his voice and instantly showed dissatisfaction in her eyes.
