Uncle Xia closed the door, shutting off Mother Xiaâs 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 couldnât 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 wasnât her intentional mistake," Xia Chuyi said very calmly, as if discussing something entirely unrelated to her.
Ou Jun hesitated, surprised by Xia Chuyiâs indifferent response â and he didnât 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, "Iâm fine."
Huo Shiqian pressed his lips together, growing even more worried.
"Iâm really fine," Xia Chuyi replied very earnestly. "Hearing her admit to this, for me, itâs liberation."
Huo Shiqian carefully confirmed by looking into her eyes, eventually nodding and saying, "Itâs 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 Junâs brows furrowed deeply; from what he knows about the past, he really doesnât 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 didnât say anything about abusing her.
In fact, in some peopleâs 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 doesnât want to dwell on this matter anymore, especially since her uncle is involved.
Seeing Xia Chuyiâs 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 daughterâs 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 Guihuaâs issue closely."
Thereâs 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 Iâve 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 didnât 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 Xiaâs expression was initially unpleasant, but after seeing everyone, especially Xia Chuyi, he forced a smile, saying, "Letâs 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 Chuyiâs side.
