After Marrying the Officer

Qian Qianqian, upon hearing this, immediately glared with annoyance and angrily said, "What the hell are you trying to do?"

"How many times have you come here?"

"You want to ask about Chuyi's business, can't you just ask her yourself? Didn't you say you and Chuyi are like sisters, with a deep bond?"

Xia Lan replied calmly, "What could I possibly want? I just want to show some concern for Chuyi."

"I'm telling you, comrade, why are you so guarded?"

Qian Qianqian stared at her fixedly, utterly disbelieving her nonsense.

Then, Xia Lan deliberately looked in the direction where Xia Chuyi and Ou Jun had just left and said, "I think I just saw Chuyi. Whose car did she get into?"

"Was it a man? A powerful and influential man from Capital City?" Xia Lan hinted darkly, "Chuyi's child, the Capital is so complex, isn't she afraid of being deceived?"

"Hey, what nonsense are you spouting?" Qian Qianqian grew increasingly dissatisfied with Xia Lan, "Is that how you act as a sister? Why do you always wish for Chuyi to run into trouble?"

Xia Lan glanced at Qian Qianqian, smoothed her hair, and said with a forced smile, "What do you mean by that? You're overthinking it, comrade."

"Oh, I remember now, that was the Ou Family's car, right?" Xia Lan asked casually, "So, who from the Ou Family came to pick up Chuyi? Ou Jun or Ou Cong?"

"What's it to you?" Qian Qianqian shook her head, too lazy to deal with her, "Please lady, keep your distance; with that stink on you, you're suffocating our guests!"

Xia Lan was taken aback, somewhat embarrassed, and blurted out, "What stink do I have on me?"

With that, she couldn't help but lift her arm and sniff herself.

"Jealousy! The reek of a fox!" Qian Qianqian retorted rudely.

"You!" At these words, Xia Lan became furious, pointing her finger at Qian Qianqian, "What did you say?!"

"Yes, exactly that, you smell like a fox! And of jealousy! What about it?" Qian Qianqian stood with hands on hips, facing Xia Lan.

Qian Qianqian snorted coldly and continued, "It's just that you're upset to see Chuyi doing well, isn't that right?"

"So why do you keep snooping around about Chuyi's business every day? What, exactly, are you trying to do?"

"Trying to compete with Chuyi again?"

Qian Qianqian spat in Xia Lan's direction and said, "Let me tell you, Huo Commander and our Chuyi have a great relationship; you can't drive a wedge between them!"

"As for Captain Ou, he treats our Chuyi like his own sister; there's no way for you to cause trouble between them!"

"Hmph, our Chuyi is a Beijing University student, owns several 'Youwei' restaurants, and is independent and self-sufficient, smart and virtuous; can you even compare?"

Qian Qianqian's words turned Xia Lan's complexion pale and then red, then red and then pale again.

But regardless, Xia Lan having obtained the answer she wanted, took a deep breath, then another, clenching her fists, said, "I'm not going to stoop to your level, you brat!"

Having said that, she turned and stormed off.

Behind her, Huang Xiaoyun approached and said to Qianqian, "Shouldn't we tell Chuyi about this?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Qianqian immediately shook her head like a rattle and said, "Why should we tell Chuyi?"

"It's only going to make Chuyi feel uncomfortable, right?"

Then, Qian Qianqian sighed and added, "This woman is, after all, Chuyi's cousin. Let's not tell Chuyi about this, to spare her the distress."

"If Chuyi happens to run into her when she comes around, we can tell Chuyi then."
