Chapter 993: Xia Lianlian

"I’ll tell your mother about this." Ou ZhenTing sighed and said.

Since it’s time to lay cards on the table, let’s just make everything clear.

Outside the door, Ou Lianlian’s heart was racing, sometimes hating the heartlessness of the Ou Family, sometimes grateful for them finally settling the matter with Wang He.

When Ou Jun came out, he spotted Ou Lianlian but furrowed his brows and didn’t give her another glance as he left.

Later on, Ou ZhenTing came out with the same demeanor.

Ou Lianlian bit her lip, not daring to say anything.

What’s the big deal? Humph, once she leaves the Ou Family, she’ll still live well!

But Xia Chuyi gave her a look, that gaze still carrying the message: hopefully, Ou Lianlian wouldn’t regret it.

At this moment, the smug Ou Lianlian could never have guessed that Ou Jun went straight to Wang He to tell him she was Xia Lianlian, not Ou Lianlian.

However, Wang He’s actions were unacceptable to the Ou Family, forcing him to take responsibility for Xia Lianlian.

Wang He was filled with regret but indeed was at fault, not daring to say anything.

Even the Wang Family, furious and pallid, were unable to speak.

The two families hastily discussed, and the next day, Wang He came to the Ou Family, took Ou Lianlian out, and pulled their certificates at the civil affairs bureau, effectively marrying Xia Lianlian.

Additionally, Xia Lianlian’s household registration was completely transferred out of the Ou family registration.

"Just like that?" After moving into the Wang Family, Xia Lianlian learned that they didn’t plan to hold a wedding, leaving her in disbelief.

"I’m remarried, what’s the point?" Wang He replied impatiently.

"You’re remarried, but it’s my first marriage!" Xia Lianlian protested.

"So what if it’s your first marriage? Are you still a virgin maiden?" Wang He’s words struck Xia Lianlian, leaving her pale-faced.

Xia Lianlian clenched her fists, telling herself it’s okay since she had plotted against Wang He, and his anger was justified.

However, since the marriage certificate was issued, she believed she could eventually win Wang He’s heart.

Xia Lianlian was incredibly confident, unaware she was heading deeper into an ever-darkening abyss.

Meanwhile, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but make a call back to Ling County.

"Uncle... I’m doing well..." Xia Chuyi chatted with Uncle Xia for a while but ultimately didn’t tell him about Xia Lianlian’s situation.

After hanging up, Xia Chuyi was a bit melancholy and went to Bao Mansion to find Huo Shiqian—since returning to Beijing, Huo Shiqian had been staying there.

"Chuyi?" Upon seeing Xia Chuyi, Huo Shiqian was slightly surprised, then opened his arms to catch the approaching Xia Chuyi.

"What’s wrong?" After embracing Xia Chuyi, Huo Shiqian lowered his head and gently asked her.

His girl’s unhappiness was quite evident.

"Uncle Liberation Army, I’m very bad." Xia Chuyi murmured in Huo Shiqian’s arms.

Pretty bad indeed, calling him Uncle again... but given her low spirits, Huo Shiqian magnanimously chose not to argue.

"What’s wrong?" Huo Shiqian gently asked her again, "Did something happen?"

Lately, things have been rather quiet around his girl, with the sole issue being Xia Lianlian’s marriage.

Xia Lianlian’s marriage is seen as blissful only by her, while everyone around knows it’s doomed to be a tragedy.

And it’s unlikely for his girl to feel sad for Xia Lianlian.

So... Huo Shiqian began suspecting the reason.

"Is it because of Ling County?" Huo Shiqian asked Xia Chuyi.
