Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Returning it to You
For a moment, everyone in the room, except for Xia Chuyi, was shocked and dismayed.
Xia Chuyi curled her lips into a smile.
Xia Lan, you finally said it.
Mrs. He’s face turned black, then white, both shocked and angry, “Xia Lan, you girl, how can you irresponsibly blurt out anything!”
Although her words seemed to be denying, her expression betrayed her. Anyone with clear eyes could tell she was in the know.
Instantly, the Xia Family members in the room, except for Xia Lan and Xia Chuyi, all had faces full of anger.
“Is this true?” Aunt Xia asked incredulously.
“Wuu, wuu, wuu, could I possibly lie about something ?” Xia Lan cried.
“Aunt He, about this matter, Brother Qing should have mentioned it in the letter, right? Aunt He, haven’t you read that letter?” Even then, it left an out for Mrs. He.
“I, I haven’t read the letter yet…” Mrs. He could only follow what Xia Lan had said.
Could she admit that she knew her son had taken advantage of someone and still agreed to swap Xia Mei for the Xia Family?
With a leap into the abyss, Xia Lan had broken the deadlock.
“And also, Chuyi, you saw it with your own eyes, didn’t you?” Xia Lan was insistent on dragging Xia Chuyi into this.
Everyone looked at Xia Chuyi.
Xia Chuyi’s mouth slightly curved, and she quickly hid her smile, widened her eyes, and pretended to be deep in thought.
“Ah!” Suddenly, she slapped her own head as if realizing something, and said, “Now that you mention it, Sister Lan, I remember something! When we went to Provincial City to see He Qing, there was one time!”
“That day you didn’t return all night, and you came back in the morning with your clothes in disarray!”
“Originally…” Xia Chuyi abruptly covered her mouth, pretending to have accidentally spilled the beans.
Xia Chuyi described the details so vividly that everyone present changed their expressions.
“Chuyi, are you telling the truth?” Xia Mei was shocked and incredulous.
“Of course it’s true!” Xia Chuyi lowered her hand and patted her chest, her tone very sincere.
“No, she’s lying!” Xia Lan immediately retorted reflexively, “Xia Chuyi, you clearly…”
She stopped mid-sentence.
Clearly caught in the act of adultery?
Raising her eyebrows, Xia Chuyi played with her braids and looked at Xia Lan with a half-smile.
Xia Lan, Xia Lan, if you have the nerve, just say it out loud, that you were caught in adultery!
Of course, Xia Lan dared not say so.
“You, you!” Xia Lan opened her mouth, but couldn’t spit out any words of rebuttal. Her eyes glared venomously at Xia Chuyi, the hatred almost taking solid form, spilling out.
Xia Chuyi returned Xia Lan’s gaze calmly, completely indifferent to her look.
Heh, perhaps no one will ever know, these words, Xia Chuyi had heard them in her past life — from Xia Lan’s own mouth.
Back then, when she returned to her hometown, dispirited, Xia Lan had pretended to help her keep the secret but “accidentally” revealed her loss of chastity publicly.
Therefore, what she said today was merely a replication of Xia Lan’s actions, a repayment in kind.
