After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 902: Cutting Ties

Uncle Xia closed the door, shutting off Mother Xia’s voice behind it.

Outside the door, just after Xia Chuyi opened it, Huo Shiqian and Ou Jun immediately noticed.

"Chuyi!" Ou Jun stepped up when he saw her and couldn’t help asking Xia Chuyi, "How is it, did she admit it?"

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi nodded, calmly saying, "She admitted it."

"Things went wrong in an unexpected way; it wasn’t her intentional mistake," Xia Chuyi said very calmly, as if discussing something entirely unrelated to her.

Ou Jun hesitated, surprised by Xia Chuyi’s indifferent response — and he didn’t believe Mother Xia was blameless.

Beside him, Huo Shiqian noticed and frowned slightly, stepping forward to look at Xia Chuyi, saying, "Chuyi, are you okay?"

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi shook her head and even smiled at him, saying, "I’m fine."

Huo Shiqian pressed his lips together, growing even more worried.

"I’m really fine," Xia Chuyi replied very earnestly. "Hearing her admit to this, for me, it’s liberation."

Huo Shiqian carefully confirmed by looking into her eyes, eventually nodding and saying, "It’s all in the past now."

"Yes, all in the past." Xia Chuyi smiled, following the conversation.

At this moment, Ou Jun finally understood that his sister has no intention of pursuing Mother Xia any further.

Ou Jun’s brows furrowed deeply; from what he knows about the past, he really doesn’t want to let that woman off so easily.

Seeing Ou Jun like this, Xia Chuyi said, "Brother, past things should stay in the past."

Mother Xia really didn’t say anything about abusing her.

In fact, in some people’s eyes, Mother Xia was regarded as a gentle mother.

In her two lifetimes, Xia Chuyi had practically severed her ties with the Xia Family in the previous one.

In this life, only a little blood relation forcibly connects her.

Now, that bond is gone, Xia Chuyi is truly liberated.

So she really doesn’t want to dwell on this matter anymore, especially since her uncle is involved.

Seeing Xia Chuyi’s determination, Ou Jun could only refrain from saying more.

"By the way, she mentioned that Xia Lan threatened her." Soon, Xia Chuyi changed the topic, saying, "She said Xia Lan used her newborn daughter’s whereabouts to threaten her..."

"So, I suspect Xia Lan knew the truth long ago," Xia Chuyi said seriously. "Brother, you might want to investigate Xia Lan and Cao Guihua’s issue closely."

There’s no need to say more; Ou Jun already understood her meaning.

"I understand," Ou Jun nodded and said, "Actually, I also suspected Xia Lan, but I’ve been too busy looking for you, so I only had someone keep track of her activities without digging deeper."

"Moreover, this person... is somewhat strange," Ou Jun said, "So, I didn’t sound the alarm."

At that moment, Huo Shiqian also spoke, "Since Xia Lan entered the Capital City, my people have been monitoring her, and her actions truly seem strange, as Ou Jun mentioned."

"Strange?" Hearing this, Xia Chuyi mused: Is it because Xia Lan used the "Prophet" to do something odd?

Just as she was pondering, Uncle Xia finally came out from inside the room.

Everyone immediately turned their eyes towards Uncle Xia.

Uncle Xia’s expression was initially unpleasant, but after seeing everyone, especially Xia Chuyi, he forced a smile, saying, "Let’s go, from now on, no one needs to come back here."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood that Uncle Xia had finally parted ways with Mother Xia too.

Uncle Xia, Aunt Xia, Zhao Xiaogui, Xia Chengzong all finally stood by Xia Chuyi’s side.
