Jiang Shuqin told Xia Chuyi she was going on a blind date, having decided against a future with Ou Cong. Ou Cong, overhearing this, became frantic and tried to dissuade Shuqin, insisting he was the better choice. Xia Chuyi and Ou Jun restrained him while Xia Chuyi advised Shuqin to consider the blind date carefully, though she hoped for a reconciliation if Ou Cong proved himself.

"So, Chuyi, you don’t need to persuade me anymore." On the other end of the phone, Jiang Shuqin’s tone was very determined.

Given Jiang Shuqin’s words, Xia Chuyi naturally couldn’t persuade any further.

Especially since she’s Ou Cong’s sister, any more persuasion would easily seem like she had a personal interest.

So, Xia Chuyi sighed and said, "Alright, since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t try to convince you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuqin on the other end seemed to smile slightly and said, "Chuyi, I understand your concern for me."

"Don’t worry, I’ll be responsible for my own life." Jiang Shuqin said, "I will definitely find a handsome, charismatic, responsible, and capable man to be responsible for my second half of life."

Charismatic, responsible, capable? Xia Chuyi felt this didn’t match her second brother at all?

She couldn’t help but glance at her second brother nearby.

Then, Xia Chuyi said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Anyway, as long as you have thought it through."

After asking her questions and saying what needed to be said to Jiang Shuqin, Xia Chuyi hung up the phone.

Once Xia Chuyi hung up, Ou Jun finally released their second brother.

"Chuyi!" As soon as Ou Cong regained his freedom, he rushed over and asked Xia Chuyi, "Chuyi, what did Shuqin say? Is she still going to the blind date?"

"Did you persuade her not to go to the blind date? How can she just impulsively do this since she’s all grown up?" Ou Cong’s tone was very anxious.

Seeing this situation, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but deliberately put on a calm face and said to her second brother, "Second brother, didn’t you say you don’t like Shuqin?"

"If you don’t like her, why are you so concerned whether she goes to the blind date?" Xia Chuyi said, "Shuqin is an adult, she has her own opinions and views."

Upon hearing Xia Chuyi’s words, Ou Cong didn’t think much and blurted out, "Who said I don’t like her..."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Chuyi immediately cut in, "You say you like her? Then go confess your feelings to her now, maybe you can stop her from going on the blind date."

Xia Chuyi was giving pointers to Ou Cong.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing his sister’s words, Ou Cong seemed to suddenly realize, scratched his head, and said, "Confess? Actually, I’m still not clear if I really like Shuqin girl..."

...There’s no hope.

"Second brother, you may not understand, but the matter is clear." Xia Chuyi twitched her lips, eyes turning into a crescent, and with a mock smile, she calmly said, "So, just don’t hinder Shuqin from finding her own happiness."

After saying this, she no longer bothered with her second brother, but instead passed by Ou Cong to join her own husband, picked up her son, and prepared to go home.

When Xia Chuyi took her son from her parents, she heard Mrs. Ou softly ask her, "Is Shuqin really planning to go to the blind date?"

While asking, Mrs. Ou looked at Ou Cong by the telephone, who was slightly annoyed, scratching his head and holding the receiver.

Ou Cong’s demeanor seemed to suggest he was hesitating whether to dial.

As for who the call might be intended for, it was obvious.

To her mother’s question, Xia Chuyi did not hold back at all.

"Yes, that’s what Shuqin intends," Xia Chuyi said to her mother.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ou was slightly startled and said, "If this is really the case..."

"Well, let it be," Mrs. Ou said, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."
