Chapter 989: Shameless Pleas

"Fat, unattractive, very different from Huo Shiqian, isn’t it?" Ou Lianlian said with red eyes. "That’s right, the man I’m going to marry now is just like that. You should be happy, right?"

"If I marry such a person, I will never be able to compare with you again!"

At this point, Ou Lianlian gritted her teeth and continued, "Also, you see my dignity is gone, I don’t care about my reputation anymore, I just beg you to do me this little favor... So, will you help me, please?"

Xia Chuyi was left speechless by these words.

Did Ou Lianlian really think everyone was like her, enjoying stepping on other people’s self-esteem?

It’s simply baffling.

Seeing Xia Chuyi still unmoved, Ou Lianlian gritted her teeth again and said, "Chuyi, even if you don’t like me, I’m still the adopted daughter of the Ou Family."

"If something happens between Wang He and me, when it becomes public, it’ll be the Ou Family who loses face, right?" Ou Lianlian’s eyes flashed with a strange light, "Chuyi, please help me!"

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi’s gaze gradually turned icy.

So, unable to plead successfully, Ou Lianlian was ready to resort to threats?

"Move aside." Xia Chuyi pushed Ou Lianlian away and said coldly, "I’ll say it one last time, I’m not getting involved in this matter."

With that, she turned and walked away without hesitation.

"Xia Chuyi!" Seeing Xia Chuyi really about to leave, Ou Lianlian hurriedly shouted, "I heard you have a pretty good relationship with your uncle in Ling County, right?"

"I’m the only child of that martyr from the Xia Family, which makes me your uncle’s only biological niece. Even if not for my sake, won’t you help for your family’s honor?"

Ou Lianlian, desperate now, was saying anything she could think of.

However, that very sentence from Ou Lianlian succeeded in halting Xia Chuyi’s steps.

Xia Chuyi turned her head, looking coldly at Ou Lianlian.

Unable to threaten with the reputation of the Ou Family, and now using her uncle as leverage?

Ou Lianlian couldn’t fathom Xia Chuyi’s thoughts, but she knew when Xia Chuyi turned her head at the mention of "uncle," there might be hope.

Ou Lianlian’s previously resentful eyes instantly lit up as she crawled forward, saying, "Chuyi, Chuyi, for the sake of your uncle—or rather, my uncle—please help me!"

"As long as I marry Wang He, I’ll admit I’m a child of the Xia Family and acknowledge my kinship with your uncle and the others!" Understanding Xia Chuyi’s "soft spot," Ou Lianlian hurriedly added.

Xia Chuyi looked coldly at Ou Lianlian and asked, "Do you really want to marry this Wang He?"

"Yes!" Sensing Xia Chuyi’s relent, Ou Lianlian immediately replied, "As long as I marry Wang He, I’ll do whatever you ask."

"Fine." Xia Chuyi said, "I’ll help you with this."

"However, once you marry Wang He, you will completely sever ties with the Ou Family." Xia Chuyi’s words fell with a resolute tone.

"This..." Ou Lianlian hesitated for a moment, but seeing Xia Chuyi’s determined gaze, ultimately gritted her teeth and said, "I promise you!"

Severing ties is severing ties; once she’s married into this circle, what does it matter? She’ll still be a noble lady!

Xia Chuyi noticed this and her gaze grew colder, "Ou Lianlian, have you really thought this through?"

"Concealing your original identity, and then severing ties with the Ou Family after marriage, your life may not be as easy as you think."
