Chapter 1284: What Exactly Does She Want?
The fact that Xia Lianlian had poisoned Xia Chuyi, nearly causing her to lose her child, was an unforgivable offense, they felt.
“I’m not certain either,” Xia Chuyi responded to Ou Jun’s inquiry. “Xia Lianlian didn’t provide many details over the phone.”
“However, when she fled Ling County, she did take Zhao Chunxiao with her…” Xia Chuyi added.
Ou Jun was aware that Zhao Chunxiao was also Mother Xia.
Therefore, the mention of Zhao Chunxiao’s name caused Ou Jun’s brow to furrow even more deeply.
“So, I suspect Xia Lianlian intends to utilize Zhao Chunxiao in her scheming,” Xia Chuyi continued her analysis.
“Zhao Chunxiao…” Ou Jun echoed the name, his brow still knit in thought.
This woman could be held responsible for many of the misfortunes that had befallen the Ou Family.
Consequently, the name “Zhao Chunxiao” was another source of intense loathing for the Ou Family.
“Does Xia Lianlian intend to use her to coerce you?” Ou Jun inquired, a clear edge of anger in his voice. “Or perhaps she plans to use Uncle Xia as leverage against you?”
Considering the Xia Family, Uncle Xia truly was Xia Chuyi’s only significant vulnerability.
With this in mind, Ou Jun’s gaze deepened as he observed his sister, his brow furrowed.
He worried that his sister might waver and her resolve would soften.
Yet, upon hearing her brother’s question, Xia Chuyi immediately shook her head. “Big Brother, you’re worrying unnecessarily…”
“As for Zhao Chunxiao…” Xia Chuyi stated, “I harbor no feelings for her whatsoever.”
“She neither gave birth to me nor raised me,” Xia Chuyi calmly explained. “Regarding my uncle…”
“You know, Big Brother, even though Uncle is not my biological uncle…” Xia Chuyi shook her head again. “He would readily endure hardship himself to prevent any inconvenience for me.”
Xia Chuyi felt absolute certainty and confidence in this matter.
Pausing briefly, Xia Chuyi sighed. “If Xia Lianlian attempts to use my uncle, he will certainly not comply with her demands.”
“My uncle is not that sort of person,” Xia Chuyi stated with composure.
Furthermore, it was precisely because Uncle Xia genuinely cared for Xia Chuyi that she, in turn, held deep affection for Uncle Xia and his family.
Indeed, feelings were a reciprocal exchange.
After absorbing his sister’s words, Ou Jun contemplated for a moment before nodding. “Chuyi, your assessment is sound. Uncle Xia… is indeed not that kind of individual.”
“Then, what exactly could Xia Lianlian possibly be planning?” Ou Jun voiced his confusion.
The question was directed at Xia Chuyi, but also, in a way, at himself.
Hearing this, Xia Chuyi simply shook her head. “It’s unclear… but it certainly won’t be anything positive.”
Sometimes, the malevolent schemes concocted by “bad people” were beyond the comprehension of ordinary individuals.
At this precise moment, Xia Chuyi suddenly recalled, “Oh, Big Brother, when Xia Lianlian called earlier, I distinctly heard what sounded like mall announcements in the background… Based on the broadcasts, she likely made the call from the vicinity of South Gate Mall.”
Xia Chuyi openly shared her deduction.
“Big Brother, I was wondering if you could perhaps dispatch someone to that location to discreetly investigate and see if they can locate Xia Lianlian?” Xia Chuyi asked Ou Jun.
Having obtained such a concrete lead, Ou Jun naturally nodded, his lips pursed. “Rest assured, I will handle this immediately.”
