Chosen Daughter?

Upon hearing this ridiculous statement, Xia Chuyi immediately suspected Xia Lan’s mind wasn’t quite right,

"It’s all because you stole our business, which made Guo Jiumin not trust me!" Xia Lan’s eyes were red with anger as she complained to Xia Chuyi, "Why, why does someone like you exist in this world?"

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi no longer had doubts; she confirmed that her mind was indeed troubled.

"Xia Lan, I won’t argue with you about these things." Xia Chuyi calmly said, "I want to ask you, will something happen to Huo Shiqian in the Southwest?"

The main reason Xia Chuyi wanted to see Xia Lan was to ask about this matter.

From many previous incidents—such as Xia Lan knowing Xia Chuyi was the daughter of the Ou Family—Xia Chuyi suspected that Xia Lan knew more than she did.

As for why, Xia Chuyi couldn’t figure it out.

Since she couldn’t figure it out, she might as well ask Xia Lan directly.

"You want to know this?" Hearing Xia Chuyi’s words, Xia Lan laughed immediately and said, "I just won’t tell you!"

"However, haha, soon, you’ll probably become a widow!"

"Oh, no, maybe you’re already a widow now..."

Before Xia Lan finished, Xia Chuyi directly stepped forward, grabbing her collar, her eyes full of icy coldness, piercing towards Xia Lan, "What did you say?"

"Hey, Xia Chuyi, don’t be so handsy!" Seeing Xia Chuyi approach, Xia Lan slapped away her hand and said, "I didn’t do it, why are you mad at me?"

"The one who changed his fate is you!" Xia Lan shrieked sharply, "If it weren’t for you, none of these things would have happened!"

"It’s all you, it’s all you, you’re the one who harmed people, you’re the one who killed Huo Shiqian!"

These words were clearly intended to provoke her.

Yet, despite knowing this rationally, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but get provoked.

Fury filled Xia Chuyi’s face as she directly threw Xia Lan to the ground, her chest heaving dramatically.

Xia Chuyi tightened her clenched fists, forcing herself to calm down.

However, though her rational mind understood, her emotions couldn’t help but think.

Indeed, even though Xia Lan’s shadow loomed over a series of events, Xia Chuyi couldn’t deny that perhaps without her, Huo Shiqian wouldn’t be facing this fate.

After all, Huo Shiqian lived well in the previous life.

Seeing Xia Chuyi in this state, Xia Lan, who had fallen on the ground and appeared somewhat embarrassed, got up with a smug look, saying, "Hmph, Xia Chuyi, do you know? It’s not just that you harmed Huo Shiqian’s life..."

"Huo Shiqian, this time, will bear the crime of treason and forever live with infamy! Because of you, because of you!" Xia Lan exclaimed excitedly upon standing.

Treason? Infamy? 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

These two words were like a giant hammer that instantly woke Xia Chuyi up.

At this moment, possibly because of the intense pressure, Xia Chuyi suddenly calmed down completely.

And from Xia Lan’s words, she deduced a certain truth.

"Treason?" Xia Chuyi clenching her fist, said, "So, over in the Southwest, someone is colluding with foreign forces?"

"Hmph, what good does knowing now do you?" Xia Lan continued to smile smugly, "Even if you know now, you can’t notify Huo Shiqian or bring him back to life!"

"Oh, right, do you want to know how I avoided Guo Jiacheng’s surveillance and climbed from Guo Kai to Guo Jiumin?"
