Chapter 988: Chapter 988: Driven into a Corner

Ou Lianlian’s words completely shifted the blame for her actions to not being able to part with her parents and wanting to repay them.

Xia Chuyi’s lips twitched slightly, thinking: It’s amazing that Ou Lianlian can actually say such things.

Who was it back then that kept calling her a village girl?

She couldn’t help but shake her head.

Clearly, Ou Lianlian is greedy for wealth and looks down on poverty, unwilling to return to the Xia Family to suffer, wanting to stay with the Ou Family to live comfortably.

Seeing this, Xia Chuyi shook her head, glancing at the always pitiful-looking Ou Lianlian, she said calmly, “Ou Lianlian, I can’t help you with your request.”

Hearing this, Ou Lianlian gritted her teeth, unwilling, and said, “Chuyi, are you really going to just stand by and watch without helping?”

“Stand by and watch? I’m just telling you to leave the Ou Family, how is that standing by and watching?” Xia Chuyi shook her head, “Besides, what my brother has decided, I cannot change.”

Strictly speaking, it’s not that it can’t be changed, rather she doesn’t want to change it.

To Xia Chuyi, she felt that she didn’t have deep-seated hatred for Ou Lianlian, but she knew her own family.

Ou Lianlian being the real daughter of the Xia Family was quite a blow to the Ou Family.

Although Xia Chuyi didn’t hate Ou Lianlian, she certainly wasn’t close with her either, she couldn’t play the Holy Mother, and simply said, “Ou Lianlian, stand up, I’m not getting involved in this.”

“Besides, life in Ling County isn’t as bad as you imagine.” Xia Chuyi continued, “Dad… I mean, Daddy Xia, Daddy Xia is a martyr, the army pays a pension every month…”

“Xia Chuyi!” Ou Lianlian finally shouted angrily, but as soon as she did, she regretted it.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to be harsh.” Ou Lianlian immediately said softly, “I really can’t bear to leave my parents…”

Seeing that Ou Lianlian was stubbornly refusing to see reason, Xia Chuyi simply turned around and said, “I’ve told you, I’m not getting involved in this.”

With that said, she was about to leave.

“Wait!” Ou Lianlian bit her lip.

She knew that Xia Chuyi was hard-hearted and wouldn’t help her at all.

So, she could only play her last card.

“Xia Chuyi!” Ou Lianlian ran up again to stop Xia Chuyi, “Actually… it’s not that I want to stay with the Ou Family, it’s just, it’s just…”

Ou Lianlian gritted her teeth hard, sharing what happened with Wang He.

Of course, the details were altered—Ou Lianlian, upset, confided in Wang He, who took advantage of her vulnerability.

“Leaving the Ou Family is fine, but with my situation… who else can I marry but Wang He?” Ou Lianlian said unwillingly, “But if Wang He knows I’ve been kicked out, he definitely won’t marry me!”

“So, Xia Chuyi, I’m not asking for anything else, just that you plead with my brother on my behalf!” Ou Lianlian suddenly knelt in front of Xia Chuyi, “Please plead with my brother, don’t kick me out yet, once I marry Wang He, I’ll naturally leave the Ou Family!”

Xia Chuyi was startled by Ou Lianlian’s actions, instinctively wanted to retreat, but Ou Lianlian held onto her leg, saying: “Chuyi, it was my fault in the past, I shouldn’t have fought with you over Huo Shiqian, I shouldn’t have been jealous of you…”

“I’ve realized now, I won’t fight with you anymore, or be jealous of you.” Ou Lianlian hurriedly said, “You don’t know Wang He, he’s a man on his second marriage…”
