Huo Shiwu learns that his second uncle, Ou Cong, has lost his wife, Aunt Jiang. Ou Cong is himself bewildered by Jiang Shuqin's decision to end their relationship, even after he agreed to marry her. Xiao Jingqi tries to make Ou Cong understand his feelings for Jiang Shuqin by prompting him to consider his unique connection to her.

"As friends, aren’t we getting along well?" Ou Cong said, "As for other women, apart from family members, she’s the only one I interact with."

"I don’t understand, Sister-in-law, what exactly do you want me to think through?" Ou Cong was utterly confused.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingqi was speechless.

At this moment, Ou Jun glanced at his brother with disdain and said to his wife, "Ignore him. Someday, he’ll pay for his stupidity."

"Brother, are you still my brother?" Hearing Ou Jun call him stupid, Ou Cong immediately retorted, "Am I really as foolish as you say?"

"If I were truly that stupid, how could I make a name for myself and build a career in G City?" Exhausted from running around all day and with Jiang Shuqin’s issues, Ou Cong was gradually becoming angry.

"You dare to get angry?" At this point, Mrs. Ou, seeing her son’s reaction, slapped him and said, "Do you really not know where you went wrong? Go home and reflect!"

After being slapped and scolded by his mother, Ou Cong’s anger was instantly suppressed, leaving only deep grievances, "Mom... I really don’t know where I went wrong..."

"Don’t know? Don’t know, yet you won’t admit you’re dumb!" Mrs. Ou shook her head, speechless.

At this point, Ou Cong didn’t dare say anything more and could only say, "Fine, I’ll go home and reflect deeply."

Though he said so, it was clear from Ou Cong’s eyes that he had no intention of reflecting.

Because Ou Cong thought Jiang Shuqin was just having a temporary tantrum.

When he returns, he’ll apologize to Jiang Shuqin, coax her, and it should be fine.

The Ou family didn’t know what Ou Cong was really thinking.

But from Ou Cong’s expression, they could all see that this second son hadn’t fully grasped the situation.

Oh well, let him suffer a bit!

The family decided not to remind him further about the matter.

Only little Huo Shiwu felt increasingly sorry for his second uncle — because he was just too stupid.

Stupid people are pitiful — thought the clever little Huo Shiwu.

Thus, with various thoughts in their minds, they quickly returned to the Ou residence.

Upon reaching home, Huo Shiqian and Xia Chuyi, who stayed behind, exchanged a glance as they saw the expressions on everyone’s faces.

"Dad, Mom, did something happen?" Eventually, Xia Chuyi asked.

Hearing her daughter’s question, Mrs. Ou couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her son, sighing as she spoke to her daughter, "You can ask your second brother."

Seeing her mother’s reaction, Xia Chuyi immediately reached a conclusion in her heart: It seems this matter concerns the second brother?

After a while, it was Xiao Jingqi who explained the situation to her.

After hearing the explanation, Xia Chuyi was speechless: ...

Honestly, if Ou Cong wasn’t her biological brother, she’d really want to beat him up for Xiao Jiangshuqin!

Regarding this matter, Xia Chuyi didn’t want to bother with her second brother either!

After calming down, Xia Chuyi made a call to the Jiang residence.

"Shuqin..."

Not much of Xia Chuyi’s comforting words were spoken before Jiang Shuqin interrupted on the phone, "Chuyi, don’t comfort me, I know what’s in my heart."

"Your second brother and I were never meant to be."

"I’ve already decided; tomorrow I’m going on a blind date."

"Blind date?" Hearing this term, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Blind date?" At this moment, Ou Cong was taken aback, "Who’s going on a blind date?"
