Xia Chuyi was slightly stunned when he heard Jiang Shuqin speak.
Ou Jiao? The daughter the Ou Family had lost? How could Xia Lan be mixed up with her?
"No mistake, it's that woman!" Jiang Shuqin continued loudly.
Then, Jiang Shuqin tilted her head and murmured with furrowed brows, "Let me think, what was her name? She was called..."
"Right, called Xia Lan!" Jiang Shuqin clapped her hands excitedly, "Yes, her name is Xia Lan!"
Jiang Shuqin looked at Xia Chuyi, blinked, and said, "Speaking of which, she shares your surname!"
"Chuyi, you wouldn't happen to know Xia Lan, would you?" Jiang Shuqin asked Xia Chuyi with slight curiosity.
Hearing her question, Xia Chuyi didn't hide anything and nodded, "I do know her."
Xia Chuyi spoke in a very calm tone.
Hearing this, Jiang Shuqin was very surprised and said, "Really, cousin? So, you are sisters?"
"That really is a coincidence!" Jiang Shuqin exclaimed.
Xia Chuyi was slightly taken aback and asked, "A coincidence? Shuqin, what do you mean?"
Jiang Shuqin shrugged her shoulders and said, "Oh, it's nothing much, just that Ou Cong's sister, she's very sensitive."
"Apparently, she does not trust people easily because she had a rough childhood."
"And that Xia Lan, probably because she has helped her or something, anyway, is hugely trusted by Ou Jiao."
"So, your cousin Xia Lan, she is like the closest best friend to Ou Jiao."
After a pause, Jiang Shuqin continued, "You know, the attitude of the Ou Family towards confirming blood relations has hurt Ou Jiao a lot."
"Ou Cong says that when Ou Jiao throws a tantrum, she will just barely listen to Xia Lan."
Jiang Shuqin pursed her lips and said, "Because of this, you wouldn't believe, Ou Cong's regard for Xia Lan is almost as high as for Ou Jiao."
"But still, Chuyi, isn't she your cousin? Don't you know she's close with Ou Jiao?"
Jiang Shuqin asked with some curiosity.
Xia Chuyi shook her head, "I'm not on good terms with her, and we haven't seen each other for a long time."
In both her past and this life, Xia Chuyi and Xia Lan had not been in contact for a very long time.
Therefore, she was unaware of Xia Lan's interpersonal relationships.
On the other side, after hearing Xia Chuyi's words, Jiang Shuqin suddenly realized, "No wonder she left here like that just now!"
"Do you and your cousin have some sort of conflict?" Jiang Shuqin couldn't help but ask.
Xia Chuyi said, "It's a complicated matter, not easy to explain briefly…"
"Do you remember the rumors Meng Zhaodi spread about me at school?" Xia Chuyi asked Jiang Shuqin.
Xia Chuyi continued, "Those rumors, they said I was ditched by a man, someone called off an engagement."
"This matter is half-true, I did indeed call off an engagement."
"And the reason for calling off the engagement was because my biological cousin Xia Lan got involved with my fiancé—she had an affair."
Xia Chuyi briefly mentioned the source of her conflict with Xia Lan.
"What? Xia Lan is that kind of person?" Jiang Shuqin was somewhat dumbfounded, "You know? She's quite the operator, and she has an especially good reputation among Ou Cong's friends!"
Jiang Shuqin shook her head in disbelief, "I can't believe it, I really can't believe it, she turned out to be such a despicable person!"
