Chapter 987: Chapter 987: Sophistry

Although Ou Lianlian spoke in a low voice, there was no one around, and it was very quiet. Xia Chuyi still heard Ou Lianlian’s words clearly.

Stealing something?

Ou Lianlian stole from her?

Xia Chuyi was slightly surprised, yet also felt somewhat speechless.

This Ou Lianlian really has some “guts.”

“Tell me, what’s going on with you stealing my stuff?” Xia Chuyi said calmly.

Being questioned like this by Xia Chuyi, Ou Lianlian bit her lip, feeling extremely embarrassed.

But she was the one asking for help, so where was the room to lose her temper?

She had to suppress her anger quietly, still speaking with tears, “I didn’t do it intentionally. I had no choice. I, I was threatened by Xia Lan, sob sob sob…”

“Xia Lan?” Hearing this name, Xia Chuyi raised an eyebrow, “What’s her connection to this? How did she threaten you?”

Xia Chuyi immediately grasped the key point.

Upon hearing this, Ou Lianlian’s sobbing paused briefly. She buried her head for a moment, composed her emotions, and then raised her tearful eyes, looking even more “pitiful” as she said, “Chuyi, I’m sorry to you, I’m sorry to you…”

“I am the real child of the Xia Family.” When saying this, Ou Lianlian was filled with anger in her chest, but on the surface, she could only appear “pitiful.”

“Chuyi, I’m sorry, I apologize to you. The suffering you’ve endured in the Xia Family over the years should have been borne by me…” Ou Lianlian said.

Ou Lianlian’s skillful performance was completely ignored by Xia Chuyi, who remained focused on the main point and asked, “‘The child of the Xia Family,’ what do you mean by that?”

Xia Chuyi knew Ou Lianlian was adopted from human traffickers, but she didn’t know who her biological parents were. Moreover, as far as she knew, her family wasn’t aware either.

Seeing Xia Chuyi’s calm demeanor, Ou Lianlian cursed inwardly, then had no choice but to inform Xia Chuyi about the DNA test.

“Big Brother originally meant well, hoping to help me find my parents.” Ou Lianlian pretended, sugar-coating the matter, saying, “The results showed that I truly am a daughter of the Xia Family.”

Xia Chuyi: …

Does Ou Lianlian think she’s an idiot?

Her brother was “kind-hearted” when he secretly had Ou Lianlian’s blood tested?

As Xia Chuyi saw it, Ou Jun probably had suspicions back then, which is why he secretly did the test.

It’s just, why didn’t her brother mention it until so much time had passed since the test result came back?

Thinking about it, Xia Chuyi said, “Big Brother originally didn’t want to reveal this, but because of the stealing incident, you angered him, so he wants to kick you out of the Ou Family, am I right?”

Xia Chuyi put forth her analysis.

Upon hearing this, Ou Lianlian’s body stiffened, and she quickly said, “No, I didn’t steal intentionally. I was forced. I was coerced by Xia Lan with my background!”

“As for my background, it doesn’t matter to me. Chuyi, I swear to you, I don’t care about it!” Ou Lianlian raised her hand with a “serious” face and continued, “Whether I’m rich or poor doesn’t matter, but I can’t bear to part with Mom and Dad, I can’t bear to leave Big Brother and Second Brother!”

“Boo hoo hoo, back then, when I fell into the hands of the traffickers, it was Mom and Dad who saved me and gave me a new life!” Ou Lianlian appeared immensely grateful, and started crying again, “So, I don’t want to leave home. It’s because I want to repay Mom and Dad, to repay the kindness they’ve shown me!”
