"Ou Lianlian?" Xia Chuyi raised an eyebrow.
Whatâs she here for?
To be honest, the grudge between Ou Lianlian and Xia Chuyi was just about Ou Lianlian having liked Huo Shiqian and attempting some minor tricks to snatch him.
In the end, Ou Lianlian didnât succeed in snatching him and even faced some punishment, being grounded.
Therefore, Xia Chuyi didnât really harbor any hatred towards Ou Lianlian, at most she just disapproved of Ou Lianlianâs personality.
Upon returning to the Ou Family, Xia Chuyiâs attitude was straightforward; she neither intended to befriend Ou Lianlian nor planned to make things hard for her.
She and Ou Lianlian tried their best to stay out of each otherâs way.
As long as Ou Lianlian didnât provoke her, that was fine.
And given Xia Chuyiâs current status in the Ou Family, Ou Lianlian really shouldnât provoke her, acting like a wallflower all day, not daring to approach her.
Occasionally, she would look at Xia Chuyi with jealousy behind her back.
To this, Xia Chuyi consistently turned a blind eye.
So, now, with Ou Lianlian coming to find her, even coming to school to look for her, Xia Chuyi was quite surprised.
"Chuyi, can you come out for a moment?" Ou Lianlian pleaded, pitifully.
Afraid of Xia Chuyiâs refusal, Ou Lianlian added deliberately, "Itâs something important, related to the people over in Ling County!"
Admittedly, those words from Ou Lianlian successfully made Xia Chuyi frown and agree to step out of the classroom.
The matters over in Ling County were nothing other than those involving the Xia Family and the Zhao Family.
For Xia Chuyi, she could be indifferent to the Xia Family, but she couldnât afford to disregard the Zhao Familyâher uncleâs family.
After Xia Chuyi and Ou Lianlian reached a secluded place.
"Talk, whatâs the matter." Xia Chuyi asked Ou Lianlian calmly.
Ou Lianlian looked around, ensuring no one was near, then rushed forward, grabbed Xia Chuyi, and burst into tears.
"Chuyi, help me!" Ou Lianlian cried out to Xia Chuyi.
This situation made Xia Chuyi frown deeply, step back, and shake off Ou Lianlian, saying, "What are you doing?"
Ou Lianlian covered her face, sobbing, "Wuwuwu, Chuyi, I beg you, help me!"
"Right now, only you can help me wuwuwu..."
"What exactly do you want?" Xia Chuyi was somewhat annoyed by Ou Lianlianâs crying without explaining anything.
Ou Lianlianâs behavior reminded her of Mother Xia in Ling County, who would cry over everything, something Xia Chuyi was quite averse to.
Since she was seeking help, Ou Lianlian feared angering Xia Chuyi, paused upon hearing her words, wiped her tears, and hurriedly said, "I... my big brother wants to kick me out of the Ou Family!"
"Chuyi, both big brother and the family care for you the most, I beg you to help me, plead with big brother not to kick me out..." Ou Lianlian said with a pitiful look, pleading to Xia Chuyi.
Xia Chuyi, with experiences concerning Mother Xia, Xia Lan, had long been immune to such "pitiful people".
"Kick you out?" Xia Chuyi raised an eyebrow, "Why kick you out?"
She didnât believe her big brother would kick someone out for no reason.
"What did you do?" Xia Chuyi coldly questioned Ou Lianlian.
Upon hearing this, Ou Lianlian froze; she didnât expect Xia Chuyi to be so direct.
"I, I made a small mistake..." Ou Lianlian quietly, hesitantly told Xia Chuyi, "I, I took some of your things and exchanged them for money..."
