Exceling in her career and brilliant in her studies, coupled with the personal commendation from Wang Zijian.
Who would dare to voice any opposition against such an individual?
As a result, the circulation of rumors ceased with remarkable speed.
The cessation of these rumors had no discernible effect on the entirety of the Kyoto Circle.
After all, the substance of these whispers was comparatively innocuous.
At most, it served to provoke laughter directed at the Ou Family and the Huo Family.
However, with Wang Zijian having made his statement, who would venture to utter another syllable?
Henceforth, when the names Ou Jiao or Xia Chuyi are invoked, only words of praise such as “A woman of exemplary virtue” will be offered.
The parties most concerned with this matter were primarily the Ou Family, the Huo Family, and notably, Xia Lianlian.
“How did these rumors vanish so swiftly?” Xia Lianlian inquired, her voice tinged with disbelief as she received the update from the intermediary. “Did Xia Chuyi not engage in such activities?”
“Perhaps we should dispatch more individuals to prominent gatherings to disseminate these details further…” Xia Lianlian declared, her tone laced with anger. “I simply refuse to believe, I refuse to accept that the public will continue to place their faith in her!”
Upon hearing Xia Lianlian’s words, the intermediary subtly revealed an expression of contempt and responded to her, “Miss Xia, certain matters possess a complexity that may elude your perception.”
“Even if the whispers subside, they have undoubtedly left their mark on Xia Chuyi…” the intermediary conveyed. “Therefore, it would be prudent to refrain from any immediate actions and await further directives from our master regarding the subsequent phase.”
Despite this counsel, Xia Lianlian remained somewhat discontented, voicing her grievance, “But… her reputation has not been utterly destroyed!”
This particular outcome was something Xia Lianlian found difficult to accept.
“Very well, Miss Xia,” the intermediary conceded. “Let us maintain the current state of affairs and await further instructions from our master.”
As he spoke, the intermediary’s gaze, whether by design or by chance, drifted towards Mother Xia, who was situated not far away.
Noticing this, Xia Lianlian also directed her attention towards Mother Xia.
Mother Xia, positioned at a discernible distance from the pair, had not been privy to the nuances of their conversation.
Consequently, Mother Xia’s countenance was etched with an expression of bewilderment.
Observing this, Xia Lianlian rolled her eyes and conveyed to the intermediary, “Rest assured, I comprehend.”
Acknowledging her response, the intermediary nodded and stated, “In that case, please accompany me with your mother.”
“This location is not conducive to prolonged occupation,” the intermediary added with a serious mien.
“Not conducive to prolonged occupation?” Xia Lianlian responded, a flicker of surprise crossing her features, followed by a trace of anxiety. “Has my presence here been discovered?”
One should not be deceived by Xia Lianlian’s outwardly confident demeanor.
In actuality, she presents a facade of strength while harboring inner vulnerability.
To put it plainly, while she possesses the audacity to undertake certain actions, she is simultaneously plagued by considerable fear.
“Fear not,” the intermediary reassured her, despite harboring a degree of disdain for Xia Lianlian. “There shall be no complications; our master has meticulously orchestrated all contingencies.”
“Provided you adhere strictly to our master’s commands, your deepest desires will undoubtedly be fulfilled by our master in due course,” the intermediary affirmed with placid conviction.
Accepting his words, Xia Lianlian finally relented, remarking, “Very well then, I shall accompany you…”
With the agreement reached, and under the intermediary’s meticulous arrangements, Xia Lianlian and Mother Xia departed the premises.
Mere moments after their departure, representatives from the Ou Family arrived in search of them.
Upon the Ou Family’s arrival, the location was found to be completely deserted.
This turn of events could not help but instill a sense of suspicion within Ou Jun.
