Chapter 990: I Promise You

Xia Chuyi gave Ou Lianlian a final deep reminder and warning.

Unexpectedly, hearing Xia Chuyi’s words, Ou Lianlian immediately picked up the conversation and said, "But it doesn’t necessarily mean sadness! Marriage freedom, love autonomy, nowadays we don’t care about lineage!"

Ou Lianlian said with determination, "When you were still Xia Chuyi, not Ou Jiao, didn’t Huo Shiqian also want to marry you?"

"I believe I can too!" Ou Lianlian patted her chest, lifted her head, and said resolutely.

Wang He, a twice-married man, a bit fat and not good-looking, apart from having a good family background, he’s simply worlds apart from someone like Huo Shiqian!

Such a person, does she, a young and beautiful woman like Ou Lianlian, really can’t handle him?

If it weren’t for Xia Chuyi coming back and her losing favor, Ou Lianlian wouldn’t even consider someone like Wang He.

But now, Wang He has become her tie to staying in this circle, and she must do everything she can, by any means necessary, to seize him!

Seeing Ou Lianlian’s determined expression, Xia Chuyi said coolly, "Fine, I’ll help you with this."

"Just, I hope you won’t regret it." Finally, Xia Chuyi coldly warned once again.

Ou Lianlian remained unchanged and said, "I will never regret it."

Seeing Ou Lianlian like this, Xia Chuyi was unwilling to say more, only said, "This afternoon, I’ll go home and plead for you."

Xia Chuyi’s tone and expression were very indifferent.

"This afternoon?" Ou Lianlian was somewhat dissatisfied.

However, given a cold glance by Xia Chuyi, she could only say, "Fine... but I will wait for you at your school’s gate!"

Otherwise, Ou Lianlian feared that once she returned home, she would be forcibly taken away by Ou Jun.

"Suit yourself." Xia Chuyi glanced at Ou Lianlian lightly and said indifferently.

In the afternoon, Xia Chuyi indeed returned to the Ou Family with Ou Lianlian.

"Chuyi, aren’t you in class? Why did you come back halfway?" As soon as she saw Xia Chuyi, Mrs. Ou couldn’t help but ask with concern, "Did something upset you at school?"

"Mom..." Ou Lianlian, who entered the door behind Xia Chuyi, called Mrs. Ou softly.

"Lian’er?" Mrs. Ou was even more surprised to see Ou Lianlian, "Why are you two together?"

Mrs. Ou knew that her precious daughter and Ou Lianlian had always had some disagreements, so seeing them come back together today was extremely odd.

"Lian’er, did you do something?" Mrs. Ou couldn’t help but ask, "Your brother had people looking for you the whole day."

Mrs. Ou thought: Though Ou Lianlian is a child she raised with affection.

But if Ou Lianlian made a mistake, she would never cover it up.

At this moment, Xia Chuyi gave a faint smile and said, "Mom, don’t worry, it’s a small matter."

From Mrs. Ou’s reaction, Xia Chuyi could tell that her brother seemingly hadn’t told her mother about the issue.

"Mom, where is my brother?" Xia Chuyi looked around and asked Mrs. Ou, "I need to find him."

"He’s in the study with your dad." Mrs. Ou shook her head, "I don’t know what they’re discussing, maybe it’s something to do with the military."

"Then Mom, I’ll go to the study to find them." Xia Chuyi said with a gentle smile, trying not to let her mother see anything unusual.

"Go ahead." Mrs. Ou shook her head again and sighed, "You’re just like your dad and your brother, always so secretive."

Clearly, Mrs. Ou had already sensitively noticed that the family was hiding something from her.
