"But, don’t tell your mother about this for now, just in case..." Ou ZhenTing’s words trailed off,
however, Ou Jun nodded his head, understanding what his father had left unsaid.
Over the years, the people they had searched for, not to mention those who seemed plausible, there had been seven or eight who looked very likely.
It was a shame, though, that all these people, in the end, had been proven not to be Ou Jiao.
So, even though there was a very high possibility this time, there still existed the chance of error.
Under these circumstances, if Mrs. Ou found out about this news, and they ended up with the wrong person again...
Her emotions would surge wildly, which would probably not be good for Mrs. Ou’s heart.
In any case, until the person was truly found and confirmed, they wouldn’t tell Mrs. Ou.
"Mm, Dad, don’t worry, I understand," Ou Jun solemnly promised his father.
After a pause, he also said to his father, "However, I’ll need to take some time off later under the pretext of a business trip, to find the person and confirm this matter."
"So, you’ll have to help me keep it from Mom."
Upon hearing this, Ou ZhenTing asked, "How much time do you think you will need?"
Ou Jun pondered for a moment, then said, "The information this time is not very clear."
"So, I’m not entirely sure for the moment, I estimate, at the very least, a month."
"I’ll find a reason related to work to go away to the army," he added.
Ou ZhenTing nodded, saying, "I understand. Go ahead without worry."
"Mm," Ou Jun said, "Thanks, Dad."
The father and son ended their conversation.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xia Chuyi’s "Youwei" branch, after bustling with activity all day, finally closed up shop for the day.
"Wow, Chuyi, I’ve found that running a business is really exhausting!" After having helped out for a full day, Jiang Shuqin felt nearly worn out.
"Honestly, Chuyi, now I finally understand why Huo Shiqian would take an interest in you. Your perseverance and stamina are simply extraordinary!"
"Not to mention your talent and intelligence!"
"Cooking top-notch, studying top-notch, business top-notch..."
"Ah, if I were a man, I’d compete with Huo Shiqian for you!"
Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but burst into laughter, raising an eyebrow as she asked her, "Are you sure?"
Jiang Shuqin touched her head and said, "No, I’m just kidding!"
"Dare to compete with Huo Yama for someone? That would be a death wish!"
At this point, Jiang Shuqin paused.
"Speaking of which, Chuyi, I really didn’t expect Huo Shiqian to do so much for you!" she said with a shake of her head and sigh.
"What?" Xia Chuyi glanced at her, momentarily unable to follow Jiang Shuqin’s train of thought.
Jiang Shuqin continued, "Chuyi, I’ve found out clearly, apparently, it was Huo Shiqian who, through an old leader in the Southwest, wrote letters on your behalf to all the old ladies and gentlemen there."
"It wasn’t just paying lip service; he introduced you seriously," Jiang Shuqin emphasized.
"And he himself wrote some letters to his peers."
"All in all, basically overnight, in our circle here, there’s hardly anyone who doesn’t know that Huo Shiqian has a little wife studying at Kyoto University," Jiang Shuqin added.
Uncle Liberation Army, what’s all this fuss for?
Honestly, she wasn’t quite ready for this yet.
But now that it had come to this, she could only accept it calmly.
Of course, since Uncle Liberation Army had announced their dating news without her permission, she needed to write a letter to "interrogate" him.
