Ou Lianlian said she was shameless?
Xia Chuyi found it even funnier when she heard this. She thought to herself, "It’s exactly because Ou Lianlian ’cares about face’ that she deliberately ’acts shameless’, just to see who ultimately is the one without a face."
Ou Lianlian, further agitated by Xia Chuyi’s indifferent demeanor, pointed a scolding finger at Xia Chuyi’s nose and yelled, "I can’t believe you’re such a despicable person!"
Her eyes filled with disdain.
Xia Chuyi couldn’t hold back again and burst out laughing.
What do you mean, ’Can’t believe she is this kind of person’?
Didn’t Ou Lianlian just say, "She is this kind of person"?
"Yeah, that’s right. I am this gold-digging person. What, are you disappointed?" Xia Chuyi said directly to Ou Lianlian, her expression all smiles — if Huo Shiqian were here, he’d say she resembled a little fox.
Life’s a play, all based on the acting skills — Ou Lianlian likes to pretend, so she follows suit.
Xia Chuyi spread her hands and continued, "Actually, I’m quite disappointed too. You came to my shop, and it was not even to buy braised meat. That’s one less sale!"
Her expression was greedy and her tone quite regretful.
"And besides, as a vain, gold-digging village girl, how did you think that you could intimidate me with a few words and make me leave Huo Shiqian?"
She looked at Ou Lianlian, shook her head, a look on her face as if Ou Lianlian was being too naive.
Then, Xia Chuyi continued, "At the very least, you should slap down a couple of checks... oh, wrong, a couple of stacks of food coupons before I even consider it."
Having said that, she changed her tune and laughed, "Oh, also wrong, food coupons are not as valuable as Huo Shiqian. I still want Huo Shiqian more!"
"Being with him, I can become a lady of stature, wealthy and respected."
"Hehe, just thinking about it gets me a little excited."
Xia Chuyi’s eyes curved like crescents as she continued, "Honestly, Ou Lianlian, you’re after these things too, aren’t you?" "You, you, you..." Ou Lianlian glared at her, furiously yelling, "How could Brother Huo ever like a woman like you!"
Xia Chuyi spread her hands, smilingly replied, "Who knows? Maybe he likes my honesty. After all, I am after his looks, his physique, his status, and his wealth."
"Why don’t you tell him too that you’re actually after his family? Maybe then he will take a liking to you."
The more outrageous her statements became.
Ou Lianlian was so infuriated she was nearly speechless.
"You, you, I’m not like you at all, I genuinely like Brother Huo as a person!"
Xia Chuyi shrugged nonchalantly, "Alright, genuine is genuine then — you’re noble, you’re refined, you’re above it all."
"I’m not like you; I’m tacky, I’m common, I’m greedy... so, this man Huo Shiqian, I absolutely will not let go."
She said this last statement with extra force.
"Just give up already!" Xia Chuyi’s eyes suddenly shifted, her hand slamming the knife down heavily onto the chopping board, sticking it in deep.
She glared down at Ou Lianlian, utterly domineering.
"You..." For a moment, Ou Lianlian was speechless.
"What do you think you’re doing?" The bodyguard by her side, the first to react, immediately stepped in front of Ou Lianlian and sternly said to Xia Chuyi.
Having listened for a while from the side, Xia Chengzong immediately stepped forward, shielding Xia Chuyi, and shouted back at the bodyguard, "What are you trying to do yourself?"
"Coming to someone else’s turf, making a scene, advising someone to break up with her partner..."
