Xia Chuyi couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
Old Sir Guan and Professor Bao's expressions conveyed very clearly: How could she possibly know this fake foreigner?
Shaking her head, Xia Chuyi said, "Actually, it's just that we've happened to meet twice by chance."
Strictly speaking, they didn't even count as acquaintances.
But this fake foreigner, with his peculiarly relentless spirit and a strong, unfounded self-confidence, stubbornly believed they were fated.
Xia Chuyi was quite helpless.
Hearing this, and seeing Xia Chuyi's expression, Professor Bao's eyebrows furrowed even deeper. It was apparent that he understood: the fake foreigner was shamelessly trying to assert a connection with Xia Chuyi all on his own.
Meanwhile, Old Sir Guan's eyes widened as he stared at the fake foreigner—he remembered now. This was the same fake foreigner they had encountered on the train!
This shameless fake foreigner had actually followed her here? Old Sir Guan cursed inwardly.
On the other hand, Jackson seemed not to understand Xia Chuyi's meaning, oblivious to everyone's expressions, and taking Xia Chuyi's words, he said, "That's right, Miss Xia and I haven't really met that many times."
"But, we're quite fated."
Jackson looked at Xia Chuyi with a smile and said, "No matter where or when, Miss Xia and I always seem to bump into each other by accident."
"Isn't there a saying in Z country, 'Fate brings people together no matter how far apart they may be?'"
Jackson glanced at Professor Bao and continued, "This time, I came to find you, Third Uncle, and just happened to discover Miss Xia is your student!"
"So, Third Uncle, don't you think Miss Xia and I are especially fated? This also indirectly proves that you and I are quite fated, Third Uncle."
"Look, Third Uncle, the lady I admire happens to be your student; isn't this a wonderful coincidence of fate?"
The moment Jackson finished speaking, the room fell silent.
Xia Chuyi narrowed her eyes, thinking: This fake foreigner seems to be using her to get closer to Professor Bao?
But the fake foreigner had taken the wrong approach... because Professor Bao was actually Uncle Liberation Army's real uncle.
It was true that the fake foreigner was Professor Bao's nephew.
However, Xia Chuyi believed that between a nephew and a nephew-in-law, Professor Bao would naturally choose Uncle Liberation Army.
As expected, her prediction was spot on.
Initially, with only slightly furrowed brows, anger began to show on the imposing face of Professor Bao.
But before Professor Bao could say anything, Old Sir Guan next to him, reddened with anger, shot to his feet and scolded Jackson directly, "You young man, with your tongue all twisted, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"What fate and destiny? Where on earth did you get any fate with her?"
"Are you aware Chuyi is already in a relationship?"
"To say such things is absolutely shameless!" Old Sir Guan pointed at him, righteously scolding.
"Bao Jiaye, I can testify that Chuyi and this fake foreigner simply can't be considered acquainted!"
Old Sir Guan said furiously, "This fake foreigner was trying to bother Chuyi on the train, and she didn't give him the time of day!"
"Bao Jiaye, even though he's your nephew, Chuyi's significant other is your nephew-in-law."
"I believe you understand that, given a choice between your nephew and your nephew-in-law, even a blind man would certainly choose your nephew-in-law, Huo Shiqian, right?"
Hearing Mr. Guan say this, Xia Chuyi was quite touched.
Clearly, her master was worried that Professor Bao might misunderstand her because of the fake foreigner.
