CHAPTER 865: CHAPTER 865: A MOTHER’S FAULT FOR NOT DISCIPLINING HER CHILD (5)

Ou Yanan, accompanied by Zhao Mengjin, emerged from behind the privacy screen and walked through the center of the restaurant towards the main entrance. As a result, everyone dining in the restaurant surely saw the two of them.

While Xiao Shuju waved to a waiter to order new dishes, she suddenly noticed a strikingly handsome man and a beautiful woman walking through the restaurant.

The handsome man was tall and suave, with a charming aura. The more she looked at him, the more familiar he seemed. Beside him, the beautiful woman exuded a noble aura, like a celestial being descending to earth.

Those around Zhou Jin began to murmur: an ideal match, the perfect couple, a match made in heaven.

Xiao Shuju suddenly felt a cold shiver run through her heart. Perhaps she couldn’t immediately recognize Ou Yanan’s face, but Zhao Mengjin, her grandniece, was unmistakable to Xiao Shuju.

In fact, when the restaurant manager hinted to her about a person from Hong Kong Island, an idea flitted through her mind: Could it be Ou Chunhua?

The wealthiest person she knew from Hong Kong Island was indeed Ou Chunhua, and no one else came to mind.

But when had Zhao Mengjin returned to the country? Why hadn’t she informed them?

And why was Zhao Mengjin back in the country? Walking in and out of a restaurant with a man would lead anyone to think of one thing: matchmaking.

Amidst these swirling thoughts, Xiao Shuju quickly reached a conclusion: Could it be that the Ou Family arranged to secretly have their son meet Zhao Mengjin for matchmaking without telling them?

Heavens. If this news reached the second sister—

Xiao Shuju’s gaze shifted to Kang Yueting, sitting across from her.

Kang Yueting seemed engrossed in her food, unaware of the surrounding discussions, and hadn’t even glanced up to look at the people.

Xiao Shuju thought this wasn’t right. She promptly got up to the side to call her second sister.

This matter was of utmost importance. If the Ou Family’s choice wasn’t Kang Yueting but Zhao Mengjin, then the Ou Family might stop collaborating with Xiao Shulan and opt to partner with the Zhao Family instead. Wouldn’t that mean Xiao Shuju was currying favor with the wrong person?

After several rings, Xiao Shulan finally had a moment to pick up the call.

"What’s up?" Xiao Shulan asked lazily.

It was clear that the third sister seemed to be in a bad mood.

She wasn’t upset when she left Xiao Shulan’s place today. Xiao Shuju’s heart sank like a lead ball, as she carefully covered her mouth and said, "Second sister, I’m dining at a restaurant tonight. Do you know who I saw?"

Xiao Shulan’s eyelids twitched. At that moment, she was genuinely annoyed, annoyed by the third sister, who never seemed to bring good news.

"What does it matter to me who you saw?" Xiao Shulan’s tone sounded somewhat irritated.

Realizing this, Xiao Shuju directly exposed the second sister, "Oh, so you knew all this time. You should have told us earlier, you know? We were just dining there and stumbled onto such a situation. It’s truly embarrassing; we don’t even know how to handle it—"

"Why did you go there for dinner? What on earth for?" Xiao Shulan huffed.

The mess the third sister created, and she expected Xiao Shulan to clean it up?

Xiao Shuju innocently replied, "It was your daughter, Yueting, who suddenly suggested having vegetarian food. The city’s most famous vegetarian restaurant was that one. Should I have taken her somewhere less reputable?"

What? Her daughter’s idea?

Why?

Xiao Shulan was taken aback, with an inexplicable sense of foreboding gently burgeoning.

"How could you just go along with her?!" Xiao Shulan snapped at the third sister, "As her aunt, I entrusted her to you. Can’t you keep an eye on her?!"
