Chapter 515: Chapter 515 Ou Lianlian’s Reluctance
Ou Lianlian felt uneasy in her heart, thinking, “Now that the real Ou Jiao is back, won’t I, the substitute, soon lose favor?”
No, what losing favor? She had never been favored to begin with!
The Ou Family, they appeared nice to her on the surface, but in reality?
Just look at Ou Cong and you’ll know. Their kindness towards her was conditional, demanding her complete obedience!
But regarding the real Ou Jiao? They probably would treasure her regardless of what kind of person she was, holding her in the palm of their hand.
Hypocrites!
Ou Lianlian bit her lip.
She felt dissatisfied with the Ou Family.
But now was not the ti to dwell on this.
With the current situation, if Ou Jiao were to return, Lianlian would lose everything she possessed.
No, she absolutely could not afford to lose it all!
Yes, that’s right, she was only an adopted daughter, but over the years, due to the Ou Family’s “favor,” she held a significant status in this circle.
She was well aware of how realistic this circle was and how many people there were who would either uplift or step down on others.
Ou Lianlian clenched her fists tightly; she had to think of a way to preserve her status!
After taking several deep breaths, Ou Lianlian put on a docile smile and went to find Mrs. Ou.
Xia Chuyi was oblivious to all that was happening in the Ou Family.
Shortly after she had sent a letter to Huo Shiqian, she suddenly received a ssage from City G.
Her master and his wife had been located!
Knowing the whereabouts of her master and his wife, Xia Chuyi was especially excited and wished she could fly to City G imdiately.
But currently, with the mid-term assessnts approaching, she was unable to ask for leave or even consider it, as the academy would certainly not agree.
Xia Chuyi had concerns, and when she visited Professor Bao’s house on Saturday, Mrs. Gu noticed.
“My child, is sothing on your mind?” Mrs. Gu asked her gently.
Xia Chuyi shook her head and said, “It’s nothing.”
Then she bowed her head and continued with her embroidery.
Just starting with the embroidery, she was reminded of the scenes when her master’s wife taught her years ago.
Without any exaggeration, the previous life’s Xia Chuyi, if not for her master and his wife, who knows into what state she would have fallen?
And they completely treated her as their own daughter.
She sighed unconsciously.
Soon, a pair of warm hands covered hers.
“My child, if you have any concerns, just talk to Master,” Mrs. Gu said to her, “You are learning the arts under my guidance, and you are my disciple. Besides, considering your relationship with Qian’er, you don’t need to treat as an outsider.”
Ward by Mrs. Gu’s gentle care, Xia Chuyi finally couldn’t hold back and spoke out.
“It’s nothing much, just that I once received help by chance from an elderly couple.”
“But I have never been able to repay their kindness.”
“Now that I know their whereabouts, but being in school, I temporarily don’t have the ti to visit them, which makes feel a bit sad.”
The words Xia Chuyi said were half-true, half-false.
Saying she was sad, in reality, was more about being worried.
Her current master and his wife hadn’t yet started their private restaurant, and their life wasn’t stable.
She didn’t know how her master and his wife were doing now?
Hearing her words, Mrs. Gu smiled and said, “What’s so difficult about that?”
“You are graded on credits at graduation. As long as you do well in your final exams and earn the necessary credits, taking a leave for a while wouldn’t be an issue.”
“However, you will need to catch up on any missed studies by yourself when you return from leave.”
