After Marrying the Officer

The Police Station went to check the bun shop and found that the buns were indeed made with meat, which confirmed there was a problem.

The bun shop was quickly sealed off, and the owner was taken away.

Soon, people nearby started gossiping and commenting on the matter.

"Somebody said, 'I didn't expect the new 'Youwei' to have such a strong backing!'"

"Right? It was their restaurant that was initially reported, but then suddenly, it was the bun shop that got shut down!"

"I heard that the bun shop owner has connections at the Police Station!"

"Yes, I heard that too. That's why they say the owner of 'Youwei' is really something."

Xia Chuyi had no idea that this turmoil had drastically elevated her family's restaurant's status among the nearby vendors.

Thanks to this incident, Xia Chuyi's branch store never encountered anyone bold enough to cause trouble again.

And so, the "Youwei" branch continued to operate normally.

In Capital City, Huo Family.

Su Susu, when she heard that several families had sent their younger members to congratulate Xia Chuyi on her opening, was pained with anger.

Were they trying to embarrass her on purpose?

She had just announced that she was looking for a match for Huo Shiqian, and then they went and slapped him in the face like this!

Did Huo Zhongcheng even respect her as his wife?

Not willing to give up, Su Susu carefully reviewed the families that hadn't gone to congratulate Xia Chuyi, preparing to pick a few suitable candidates from them.

As long as the person she chose was a perfect match for Huo Shiqian, she believed others would understand her!

Meanwhile, Su Susu was making her plans.

In Capital City, Ou Family.

Ou Cong returned home, excited to tell his big brother about what happened that day.

"Bro, I really helped Xia Chuyi a lot today!" Ou Cong said with sparkling eyes, "Bro, can this count as making amends?"

"Can I be free now?"

Ou Jun looked up at him and said, "When did I ever restrict your freedom?"

Ou Cong: ...

"I was helping you train," Ou Jun said seriously.

Ou Cong: ...

Just when Ou Cong was at a loss for words, suddenly Ou Jun said, "Xiao Cong, it's time you settled down."

"Jiaojiao, there's news."

"Bro, what did you say?" Ou Cong's whole demeanor stiffened, and his expression became incredibly anxious, "Bro, can you confirm it? This time, can it be confirmed?"

Ou Jun shook his head and spoke gravely, "It's not certain."

Upon hearing this, Ou Cong immediately slumped.

However, Ou Jun then said, "If it's wrong this time, it might not be wrong the next time. Even if it's wrong the next time, the time after might not be... Xiao Cong, Jiaojiao will come back one day."

"Do you want her to come back and see her brother looking like a failure?"

Ou Cong: ...

That hit hard.

As the brothers were talking, the door to the study opened.

It was Ou Lianlian, supporting Mrs. Ou as they returned from a walk.

Mrs. Ou's angina had been acting up a bit more frequently recently, so Ou Jun had no choice but to lift Ou Lianlian's grounding to accompany Mrs. Ou.

"Mom!" The brothers greeted.

"Big brother, second brother," Ou Lianlian also greeted.

Ou Jun nodded and went to help his mother.

Mrs. Ou waved her hand, smiling, "You all are just too nervous, I've had this heart pain for more than just a day or two! Why make such a fuss?"

Ou Jun frowned, and Ou Cong pursed his lips, both remaining silent.

Ou Lianlian lowered her head, hiding her expression.

She thought: Making such a fuss? Missing her daughter has turned into a sickness, and it's still making a fuss?

Look, this is true blood kinship, though not present in person, one can still develop a "heart disease" from missing someone.

As for her, the adopted daughter? Not even a "heart" involved.
