Chapter 943: A Chance Encounter

Mr. Liu was also strangely confident in his daughter, Liu Yingying.

At this moment, the Ou Family had no idea that their children had been "targeted" by someone.

Finally, the time came to the 18th, the day of Ou Family’s recognition banquet.

The Ou Family had been waiting for this day for a whole 20 years.

Originally, the night before, Mrs. Ou wanted Xia Chuyi to stay at the Ou Family’s house.

But Xia Chuyi really couldn’t adapt to such a grand atmosphere, so she pushed to come the next day.

Mrs. Ou was naturally a bit disappointed upon hearing her refusal, but she didn’t force her.

Now, Xia Chuyi basically does as she says, even if her dad, mom, and big brother don’t quite agree, they eventually consent.

The only exception is the issue of Huo Shiqian dating her.

Of course, she hadn’t explicitly said anything to her family about this.

Because, Uncle Liberation Army started saying he could handle it himself!

Xia Chuyi, as a girl, just had to wait!

On the morning of the 18th, Xia Chuyi arrived at the Ou Family’s house early; almost no guests had arrived yet, only the security guards and the maids bustling around.

Looking at this scene gave her a bit of a headache, so she stood at the gate and didn’t go in.

Suddenly, someone bumped into her from behind, causing Xia Chuyi to stagger slightly forward.

Fortunately, the impact wasn’t strong so she didn’t fall.

"Ah? Sorry, sorry!" The person who bumped into Xia Chuyi seemed to come to her senses only then and hurriedly apologized to her, "I’m really sorry, I wasn’t watching where I was going!"

Xia Chuyi turned around and saw it was a refined and composed-looking woman, who was now looking at her with a guilty expression.

"It’s all right, I didn’t fall or get hurt, you don’t have to apologize continuously." Xia Chuyi smiled and said, "Besides, it was my fault for stopping here and not going in."

Upon hearing this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I should apologize; I was thinking about something and didn’t pay attention, really sorry."

Xia Chuyi casually glanced at the woman, noticing a faint worry in her brow.

She thought to herself: No wonder the woman bumped into her, perhaps she had something troubling her?

So, Xia Chuyi smiled again and said, "You really don’t need to apologize."

"By the way, are you here for the recognition banquet?" Xia Chuyi changed the subject and asked, "It’s quite early, why did you arrive now?"

Upon hearing Xia Chuyi’s question, the woman smiled and said, "Not so early, I came to help out."

"Help out?" Xia Chuyi looked the woman up and down.

The woman was dressed in a high-end beige plaid suit, not quite like someone here to help.

At this point, the woman said, "And you, are you here to help out too? Those who come to help early are familiar with the Ou Family, but I haven’t seen you before?"

Xia Chuyi opened her mouth to say something, but suddenly heard a call from behind: "Chuyi!"

It was her big brother.

Xia Chuyi turned and responded, "Big brother."

Ou Jun was about to nod in response when he saw the woman behind her.

"Cai Qin?"

"Ou Jun?"

Ou Jun and the woman exclaimed in surprise almost simultaneously.

"Cai Qin?" Xia Chuyi, a bit slower, also turned and looked at the woman in surprise.
