Xia Chuyi laughed nonchalantly and said with unparalleled calm, "Ou Lianlian, if it hadn’t been for your matchmaking failure, why would you come to me to persuade me to leave Huo Shiqian?"
With just one sentence, Ou Lianlian’s complexion drastically changed.
Honestly, Ou Lianlian’s fighting power isn’t even comparable to Xia Lan’s.
Although both have a similar style, at least Xia Lan can shamelessly cling on and not let go, while Ou Lianlian, priding herself on her status, still wants to save some face.
Heh, since Ou Lianlian wants to save face, she just won’t give it to her.
Then Xia Chuyi continued, "Huo Shiqian is someone that nobody can force."
"If you had been successful in your matchmaking with him, you wouldn’t need to come to me; he simply wouldn’t be with me at all."
"So, you must have come to me because you couldn’t get any benefits from him, right?"
"You!" Listening to her, Ou Lianlian’s face turned beet red, and she was truly unable to retort, only managing to toughen her tone and say with a cover-up attempt, "Stop spouting nonsense!"
Xia Chuyi smirked like a little fox and said, "Well, whether you admit it or not doesn’t really matter."
She crossed her arms over her chest and said to Ou Lianlian, "Honestly, if you’re capable, just seduce Huo Shiqian yourself. If you can even seduce one of his fingers, I’ll hand this man over to you!"
"If you can’t manage to seduce him, then don’t come looking for me."
"Why should one woman make things difficult for another? Don’t you agree, Mr. Ou?"
Her blunt words left Ou Lianlian trembling in anger.
"You bumpkin, what nonsense are you talking about! Do you think I’m like you? You’re a shameless, barefaced village girl who would do anything to climb the social ladder!"
Shameless? Climbing the social ladder? Stop at nothing? Xia Chuyi raised an eyebrow.
What exactly was Miss Ou Lianlian doing coming all this way to pick a quarrel with her?
Next, Ou Lianlian lifted her chin, looking down at Xia Chuyi with utter disdain, and said, "Xia Chuyi, you’re not really in love with Brother Huo. You’re in love with his family background and status, right?"
Xia Chuyi was somewhat speechless, observing Ou Lianlian’s expression—was she seriously treating this like a prime-time soap opera?
Prompted by the venomous side-character’s dialogue, she was expected to prove that she wasn’t greedy for glory by leaving Huo Shiqian to show her true feelings?
"Hmm, you’re right," Xia Chuyi nodded, simply going along with Ou Lianlian’s words on purpose, "I’m really enamored by Uncle Liberation Army’s handsome and dashing looks, his wealth and status, his good family background, and his fine job."
Ou Lianlian wanted to provoke her? She just wouldn’t play into her hands.
"You really are that kind of person!" Ou Lianlian, hearing her answer, instantly flashed a look of triumph, "I knew you didn’t sincerely like Brother Huo, you’re not worthy of him!"
"If you have any sense, you’d better leave Brother Huo on your own, or else, hmph!"
After laying out her "logic," Ou Lianlian now started to threaten her.
"What?" Xia Chuyi cocked her head, with a grin asking, "You want me to leave Huo Shiqian on my own?"
"Heh, such a wealthy and prestigious, handsome and dashing Uncle Liberation Army, why would I leave him on my own, do I have a hole in my head?"
Xia Chuyi’s expression seemed to say "I think you have a hole in your head."
"Didn’t you also say that he and I are not from the same class? So, when I finally encounter someone like him, how can I possibly let go willingly?"
Her words left Ou Lianlian’s expression grotesquely twisted with fury: "You despicable village girl, utterly shameless!"
