Susu’s speech was filled with a righteous indignation.
For someone who isn’t bad and whose starting point isn’t wrong but somehow always manages to do the wrong thing, Xia Chuyi could not even bring herself to sympathize.
Such a person had a prime example, and that was her mother.
Who would have thought that Uncle Liberation Army, being a stepmother, would also be so unreliable.
Fortunately, it was just a stepmother.
"You’re not wrong, you’re young and beautiful, but I have already found someone for Shiqian who is better than you in all respects—also from Kyoto University, Jiang Fengqi."
"Do you know Jiang Fengqi?"
"Compared to her, do you think you stand a chance?"
"Anyway, Xia Chuyi, I advise you to leave Shiqian as soon as possible." With that, Susu finally considered her duty fulfilled.
"Let’s go!" Turning around, Susu summoned her guards and left.
Xia Chuyi shook her head, turned around, and said to the people staying at Bao Mansion, "Don’t tell Huo Shiqian about this."
Susu really lacked fighting spirit.
Talking to her only increased one’s troubles.
Besides, the more you provoke these self-righteous people, the more likely they are to cause trouble.
"Yes," the people staying behind nodded and responded to her.
After leaving Bao Mansion, Xia Chuyi returned to Youwei, packed her belongings, and together with Qian Qianqian and the two kids, set out on the journey back to her hometown.
As she set off, Jiang Shuqin came to see her off, and surprisingly, Ou Cong also followed.
Seeing Ou Cong, Xia Chuyi was a bit surprised.
"Why are you with her?" Xia Chuyi asked Jiang Shuqin.
Jiang Shuqin replied, "To apologize to you and see you off, of course."
"And to let you check the result of his re-education..."
"Jiang Family’s Book Bag, what nonsense are you talking? Am I a fool? Was that even re-education? I can’t believe you’re a student from Kyoto University!" Ou Cong, who had been impatient throughout, angrily confronted Jiang Shuqin.
"Hey, don’t start giving me nicknames! You fickle-hearted radish! It seems like you didn’t get enough re-education... Okay, you don’t like that term, then it’s ideological remolding!" Jiang Shuqin said huffily, "Humph, I’m the fool? I may be foolish, but I would never mistake Huo Shiqian for an adulterer!"
Jiang Shuqin triumphantly linked arms with Xia Chuyi, "Where’s your luggage? Let this guy carry it for you, it’ll serve as his way of making amends."
"Enough with the nonsense, Xia Chuyi, where’s your luggage for returning home?" Ou Cong glanced at Qian Qianqian and the two kids following behind her and said, "Bring theirs as well, I’ll carry everything!"
He said that with a brashness that seemed to cut through the clouds.
"Fickle-hearted radish, do you think you’re up for it?" Jiang Shuqin looked at him disdainfully.
Ou Cong was so angry he was gnashing his teeth, "Jiang Shuqin!"
"Enough with the name-calling, just help carry the luggage quickly!" Jiang Shuqin said excitedly.
Xia Chuyi glanced at the gleefully happy Jiang Shuqin and then at the impatient Ou Cong.
"Are you sure you want to help us with the luggage?" Xia Chuyi asked Ou Cong.
"Are you kidding..." He started to retort but stopped when he realized the speaker was Xia Chuyi, and his expression softened a bit, not as contemptuous as before.
But it was still not a pleasant expression.
"Where’s the luggage?" Ou Cong asked.
Xia Chuyi turned and led him to where her luggage was stored.
Looking at the small pile of luggage: "...What are you doing, moving a grocery store back home?"
Xia Chuyi spread her hands.
It wasn’t that she was moving a grocery store, but her employees, they could really shop.
