Chapter 1426: Chapter 1425: Ou Cong Side Story
"But regarding the marriage, you don’t need to bring it up again; I will never bring it up in the future." Jiang Shuqin said firmly, word by word.
Jiang Shuqin was not someone who couldn’t take a loss.
Hearing this, Ou Cong couldn’t understand what Jiang Shuqin was thinking at all, and could only say, "Not mentioning marriage is fine, but about the business..."
"I’ve said, let’s discuss it later." Jiang Shuqin looked at Ou Cong, who appeared confused, feeling somewhat exhausted, and said, "Alright, let’s go out and give an explanation to the parents."
After speaking, regardless of Ou Cong’s reaction, she strode out of the room.
"Shuqin!" Ou Cong called behind Jiang Shuqin.
However, Ou Cong’s call did not stop Jiang Shuqin’s steps.
Ou Cong, somewhat frustrated, rubbed his head vigorously, then followed Jiang Shuqin out of the room.
Once they were out, in the living room, both the elders and the young ones were all staring at them attentively.
Clearly, everyone was very concerned about how their conversation went.
In response, Jiang Shuqin appeared very calm and said to Mrs. Ou and others, "Uncle and Aunt, it’s getting late. You should head back first; other matters can be discussed later."
This basically indicated that there was no hope for her and Ou Cong.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ou was taken aback for a moment, then immediately said, "Shuqin girl, is it because the second son is unwilling? You’ve been with him for so many years. If he dares not to be willing, I’ll break his..."
Before Mrs. Ou could finish, Jiang Shuqin raised her voice and interrupted, saying, "Aunt, it’s not his fault!"
"This issue is your misunderstanding." Jiang Shuqin, who had completely composed herself, said very calmly, "Ou Cong and I have never been together."
"All along, we were merely business partners." Jiang Shuqin said seriously, "I apologize, Uncle and Aunt, and Mom, for letting you misunderstand."
With these words, Jiang Shuqin bowed to the elders with an apologetic expression, saying, "In the future, I’ll maintain my distance from Ou Cong to prevent further misunderstandings."
Jiang Shuqin spoke earnestly and solemnly, her face showing unwavering determination.
As soon as Jiang Shuqin finished speaking, everyone else present immediately fell silent.
As the saying goes, the onlookers see more clearly, while those in the situation are confused.
The elders were actually aware of the situation between these two young ones.
Though the two young ones often bickered, they always seemed like a pair of quarrelsome but loving couple.
That’s why the elders naturally started discussing their marriage.
Who knew, Jiang Shuqin would say it was a misunderstanding...
Whether or not these two young ones were actually together, at this point, the elders truly didn’t dare to be sure.
But Jiang Shuqin’s demeanor and her words made it very clear to everyone that there was no possibility between her and Ou Cong.
And what about Ou Cong?
Mrs. Ou looked at her son.
Ou Cong’s gaze was filled with so much confusion and incomprehension, looking at Jiang Shuqin with a very complex expression.
Ou Cong still couldn’t understand; she liked him, he agreed to marry her, wasn’t it all good?
Why did she suddenly become unwilling?
Looking at her son with such a foolish look, and then at Jiang Shuqin’s serious demeanor.
Mrs. Ou internally rolled her eyes at her son, then sighed and said, "Mrs. Jiang, Shuqin, what happened today was thoughtless of Zhen Ting and me. We apologize; we shouldn’t have decided on their marriage without asking the children’s opinions."
