Chapter 967: Stubbornness from the Father-in-law

At this moment, Xia Chuyi couldn’t care less about her dad’s feelings.

Because her dad, mom, and brother were still "secretly" opposing them for the time being, so Huo Shiqian and she generally, without a "justifiable reason," often found time to meet "privately."

And now, Uncle Liberation Army suddenly came openly to find her, Xia Chuyi guessed he must have something important to discuss with her.

So, Xia Chuyi spoke to her parents, "Dad, Mom, I’m going out for a walk with Brother Shi Qian."

Once the beloved daughter spoke, Ou ZhenTing couldn’t oppose and merely said, "Alright... remember to come back early."

Mrs. Ou didn’t object either, only advising, "Don’t be too late, come back early."

"Thank you, Uncle, thank you, Auntie." Huo Shiqian slightly nodded to Mr. and Mrs. Ou Zhen Ting in acknowledgment.

Then, he took Xia Chuyi away from the Ou Family.

Watching his beloved daughter leave so decisively with Huo Shiqian, Ou ZhenTing felt increasingly heartbroken.

"I still think the Huo Family boy is much older than our Chuyi, it’s inappropriate!" This was the stubbornness of the future father-in-law.

Mrs. Ou, however, was not as heartbroken as her husband, only somewhat emotional.

"The time we found Chuyi was simply too late." Mrs. Ou sighed.

They missed many critical moments in Chuyi’s growth, and finding her again meant they might soon have to send their daughter away in marriage.

This was the only thing Mrs. Ou couldn’t bear.

Ou ZhenTing understood his wife’s sentiments, nodded, and said, "Yes, finding her was too late, so our family should spend more days together."

Once again, Ou ZhenTing expressed his stubbornness as a father-in-law.

Xia Chuyi was completely unaware of her parents’ thoughts.

Even if she was aware, there was nothing she could do about it for now.

At this moment, as soon as she exited the house, she immediately asked Huo Shiqian, "Brother Shi Qian, has something happened?"

Otherwise, why would he come so hastily to the Ou Family to find her?

"I’m taking you to meet someone." Huo Shiqian calmly told her.

"Meet someone?" Xia Chuyi was slightly surprised.

Suddenly, she intuitively asked, "Is it to meet my second brother?"

"Yes." Huo Shiqian nodded, without keeping it a secret.

Receiving Huo Shiqian’s confirming response, Xia Chuyi realized, "No wonder, no wonder Shuqin came to find me earlier..."

Seeing Huo Shiqian’s calm expression, Xia Chuyi asked him, "Did you know about this too? I mean, Shuqin coming to find me."

"Yes, Ou Cong told me." Huo Shiqian nodded, speaking to her.

Then, he stopped walking, standing still, and said to Xia Chuyi, "Actually, when the Jiang Family girl came to find you, Ou Cong was also there."

"Ah?" This surprised Xia Chuyi, "He was there too?"

Huo Shiqian said, "He was hiding in the courtyard at that time."

Having lived in the courtyard for more than twenty years, Ou Cong was naturally more familiar with it than Xia Chuyi.

So, he could completely conceal his presence, preventing Xia Chuyi from discovering.

"Does this mean... the questions Shuqin asked me at that time were really what my second brother wanted to know?" Xia Chuyi thought for a moment and realized the connection.

Thinking back to that time, she wondered if she said anything "excessive."

"Brother Shi Qian, what is my second brother’s current situation?" Xia Chuyi suddenly became a bit worried, fearing Ou Cong might have an extreme reaction after hearing her words.

After all, she always thought Ou Cong’s mind had never been normal.
