Capítulo 1297: Chapter 1296: Xia Chuyi’s Rhetoric

“Do you really think Wang Zijian values your Ou Family and the Huo Family that much?” Xia Lianlian angrily said, “If he truly cared, why would he send Huo Shiqian out on a mission so soon after you had a child?”

“Moreover, the reason Huo Shiqian went on the mission was for the Guo Family!” Enraged, Xia Lianlian blurted out what she knew.

“What did you say? For the Guo Family?” Xia Lianlian’s words made Xia Chuyi narrow her eyes instantly and say, “Xia Lianlian, what do you mean by this?”

How could Xia Lianlian know about Huo Shiqian’s mission?

This is a military secret!

So, the person behind Xia Lianlian, as she claimed, is someone Xia Chuyi cannot afford to provoke?

Hearing Xia Chuyi’s voice clearly start to tense, Xia Lianlian immediately smiled triumphantly: “You didn’t know, did you? Huo Shiqian’s mission is for the Guo Family!”

“So, in Wang Zijian’s eyes, it’s clear that he values the Guo Family more!” Xia Lianlian’s words grew increasingly smug.

And thus, Xia Chuyi’s eyes suddenly flashed with intensity, saying; “So, the person behind you is from the Guo Family?”

Though this was a question, Xia Chuyi’s mind had almost reached a certain conclusion.

Unexpectedly, Xia Lianlian’s casual remark led Xia Chuyi to the truth.

“Don’t talk nonsense, it’s not the Guo Family!” Xia Lianlian could only deny adamantly, saying, “In any case, don’t think that the Ou Family and the Huo Family’s positions are all that secure!”

.

“A new emperor brings new officials. Past leaders may have appreciated your families, but that doesn’t mean current ones do!”

“Besides, who knows, Huo Shiqian might not return from this mission at all…” Xia Lianlian said in a sarcastic tone.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi immediately squinted, her eyes shooting out a blaze of anger.

She could choose to ignore Xia Lianlian’s nonsense about herself, but she could not tolerate Xia Lianlian cursing Huo Shiqian!

“Who exactly from the Guo Family is helping you in secret?” Xia Chuyi asked coldly, “Could it be that you don’t even know who it is?”

“If that’s the case…” Xia Chuyi deliberately scoffed, continuing, “If that’s the case, then that person from the Guo Family probably never trusted you from the start.”

“No matter what promises that person made or what conditions were given…” Xia Chuyi said, “If he doesn’t even dare to reveal his identity to you, how can he guarantee those promises and conditions? I fear you have always been just a pawn in someone else’s game.”

“Once things are over, this pawn will likely have no value left.” Xia Chuyi said deliberately in a sympathetic tone, “You really are extremely foolish!”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Xia Lianlian immediately retorted upon hearing this, “Such a thing would never happen!”

“Oh, so are you admitting that the person behind you is Guo Jiacheng?” Xia Chuyi immediately followed up.

“No, I didn’t say anything!” Realizing she let something slip again, Xia Lianlian shook her head vigorously, stubbornly refusing to admit it.

“Haha, Xia Lianlian, you really are dumb.” Xia Chuyi’s voice grew colder, “Sacrificing for others, what good does it do you? Or rather, whatever good they promised, how would you even receive it?”

Xia Chuyi said, “Why don’t you… Xia Lianlian, tell me who exactly that person is…”
