Xia Chuyi was at a loss for words after hearing Xia Lan’s remarks.
"I’m not familiar with you," Xia Chuyi said indifferently.
No matter how unbearable Xia Lan’s life trajectory had become, it was all her own fault.
Upon hearing this, Guo Jiacheng nodded slightly.
Not familiar, huh? Then there was no need to intervene.
Ah, one less opportunity for Huo Shiqian to be indebted to someone.
"You!" On the other side, Xia Chuyi’s clearly unhelpful attitude immediately angered Xia Lan.
"Are you really going to just stand by and watch me die?" Xia Lan asked her, eyes red with emotion.
Xia Chuyi looked at Xia Lan with utmost calmness and said, "Didn’t you say you were forced? If that is truly the case, you don’t need anyone’s help, and you will be fine naturally."
Upon hearing this, Xia Lan clenched her fists, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips, thinking to herself, see, in this world, no matter who it is... parents, family, husband, men who covet her, none are reliable!
At that moment, the police came forward to pull Xia Lan away, sternly saying, "The person involved should not run around. Come inside with us to explain the situation!"
Xia Lan bit her lip, put on a sorrowful expression again, lowered her head, and followed the police into the Police Station, sobbing.
After the person involved was taken into the Police Station, the other workers were all dispersed by the police.
Then, Xia Chuyi and the others were able to leave the Police Station without any issue.
They had just taken a few steps when Wang Xiaofang suddenly exclaimed, "I remember now!"
"Chuyi! Wasn’t that woman just now the one we caught cheating at the hostel back then?"
Wang Xiaofang said this last sentence in a hushed tone.
However, Guo Jiacheng and the others, being too close, had heard it all clearly.
Perplexed looks immediately turned toward Xia Chuyi.
"Yes, it was her," Xia Chuyi nodded calmly, not bothering to hide the truth.
In this matter, she was open and honest; there was nothing to hide.
Upon hearing this, Guo Jiacheng looked shocked, stumbled over his words and said, "You, you caught, caught her cheating? With..."
Guo Jiacheng couldn’t bring himself to finish the question.
"It wasn’t Huo Shiqian," Xia Chuyi quickly clarified, fearing Guo Jiacheng might misunderstand.
"Ahem," Guo Jiacheng scratched his head and said, "Don’t worry, I absolutely did not think it was Huo Shiqian!"
"After all, aside from being scheming, cunning, treacherous, and crafty, his character in other respects is indeed commendable,"
Guo Jiacheng said earnestly.
"Ever since I’ve known him, he’s lived like a monk, with very restrained desires."
"So this kind of affair, how could it ever involve him? Ha, ha!"
Guo Jiacheng grinned, showing his big white teeth on his pitch-black head, which stood out starkly.
Xia Chuyi shook her head, thinking to herself: Funny, Huo Shiqian indeed had been "caught cheating."
Only it was with her, and the one who had caught them was Xia Lan.
Then, Xia Lan had succeeded in her previous life, but not in this one.
These words, naturally, she did not share with Guo Jiacheng.
When they reached the hostel, Guo Jiacheng warmly stated he would come to escort them the next day before he left.
Wang Xiaofang, still feeling uneasy, stayed with Mrs. Wang.
Xia Chuyi chose to stay alone.
In her room, Xia Chuyi took out some stationery and began writing a letter to Huo Shiqian for the day.
Although her uncle from the liberation army, with his extensive network of informers, would always inform him,
the letters between them had never ceased.
