After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1345 - 1344: Main Story Finale 17

Upon the mere mention of the past, Xia Lan shuddered, yet she extended a finger towards Xia Chuyi. "Was it you? Did you arrange for Huo Shiqian to set me up with someone?"

"Was it you who allowed Huo Shiqian to hand me over to that pervert, Guo Kai?" Xia Lan's gaze was filled with disdain as she fixed it on Xia Chuyi. "Xia Chuyi, you are truly venomous!"

Xia Chuyi: ...

When it came to a venomous heart, how could she possibly compare to Xia Lan?

Therefore, Xia Chuyi simply shook her head and replied, "Set up? Xia Lan, let's be frank here. From the very beginning to the very end, the one who has been framing and harming others... isn't it precisely you?"

"You claim I had Huo Shiqian throw you to that pervert Guo Kai, but what about your own actions?" Xia Chuyi questioned coldly. "Since you were aware that Guo Kai was a pervert, why would you then send your own sister to him?"

"Xia Lan, when it comes to sheer malice, I must admit I can't hold a candle to you," Xia Chuyi finally declared.

"You!" Xia Lan's indignation flared upon hearing this. "What do you possibly understand? You are the daughter of the Ou family, and you don't have to struggle for anything!"

"And what about me? I have to rely solely on myself!" Xia Lan continued, her voice laced with resentment.

Xia Chuyi let out a scoff upon hearing this. "Xia Lan, even now, do you still truly believe that you bear no fault? That everything is simply someone else's doing?"

After a brief pause, Xia Chuyi added, "You say I am the Ou family's daughter, but was that my status from the very start?"

"I was not," Xia Chuyi stated, shaking her head. "In the beginning, I was nothing more than an unwelcome burden to the Xia Family."

"At that time, our branch family was considerably weaker. Within the Xia Family, we certainly did not live as well as you did in the third branch," Xia Chuyi explained calmly. "Yet, even then, you had already started targeting me."

At this very moment, Xia Chuyi stared intently at Xia Lan, her expression growing increasingly cold. "Ultimately, the simple reason behind all this is that Xia Lan's heart is inherently black."

As she uttered these words, Xia Chuyi's tone carried a significant weight.

"Born with a black heart?" Xia Lan, clearly displeased upon hearing this accusation, immediately retorted, "If I had parents who loved me, would I have turned out this way?"

"I don't have the benefit of a loving mother like you do!" Xia Lan exclaimed indignantly. "If I don't work hard on my own, I won't have anything!"

Xia Chuyi shook her head. "And with all your supposed efforts, what have you actually managed to gain?"

"I, I have..." Xia Lan attempted to argue back, but found herself utterly speechless.

However, Xia Lan quickly shifted the blame back onto Xia Chuyi. "Yes, I can't own anything, but isn't it all because of you?"

"It's all because you broke off your engagement with He Qing that I ended up marrying that scumbag!"

"It's all because of you that my attempt to help the Cheng family invest in jade failed!"

"It's all because of you that I was delivered to that pervert Guo Kai, and he tortured me to the point that I almost..."

Xia Lan did not finish her sentence. Gritting her teeth, she glared fiercely at Xia Chuyi. "After enduring such hardships and humiliation, I ended up at Guo Kai's place with Guo Jiumin."

"Relying on the memories from my past life, I managed to secure quite a few promising investments with him."

"As a result, Guo Jiumin finally took me away from Guo Kai's clutches."

"But who would have ever imagined? The two most crucial investments, the film and the real estate projects, were snatched away by you!" Xia Lan's indignation grew with every word. "And because of this, Guo Jiumin began to mistrust me, suspecting that I wasn't truly the Chosen Daughter..."
