After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 1135 - 41

Upon hearing Xia Lianlian’s words, Uncle Xia was deeply disappointed.

"Some things, whether you admit it or not," Uncle Xia continued, "the fact remains the fact."

"If you don’t want to acknowledge the Xia Family, I won’t force you."

Uncle Xia’s expression and tone had become exceptionally indifferent.

Xia Lianlian herself remained entirely unmoved.

Seeing this, Uncle Xia became even more disappointed, and said, "I won’t force you to acknowledge us, but you are ultimately my brother-in-law’s only daughter."

"I heard that you are not doing well in the Wang Family..."

"Who said I’m not doing well?" Upon hearing this, Xia Lianlian jumped up like a startled grasshopper.

"I’m eating well, dressing well, living well in the Wang Family, what’s wrong?"

In response, Uncle Xia just shook his head.

Lately, Uncle Xia had gathered that Xia Lianlian was quite disregarded in Wang He’s house.

And how can a woman live well in a house where she has no status?

Thus, Uncle Xia said, "In short, since you are my brother-in-law’s only bloodline, some things I can help with, I’ll lend a hand."

Then, Uncle Xia took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Xia Lianlian.

"In here, there’s some money," Uncle Xia said, "consider it as a token of concern from me on behalf of your father."

"Having a bit of money, your days won’t be so bad."

Seeing the money being offered, Xia Lianlian hesitated for a moment before grabbing the envelope.

"Who needs anyone’s concern, what can a little money do..." Xia Lianlian deliberately opened the envelope as she spoke.

She thought to herself: if there’s little money in the envelope, she’d throw it back to Uncle Xia!

But upon seeing the envelope full of banknotes, Xia Lianlian suddenly stopped talking.

In the past, when Xia Lianlian was in the Ou Family, she never lacked money.

But after she made a mistake, Ou Jun angrily drove her out, and she married into the Wang Family without a dowry.

The Wang Family was displeased with her disgraceful entry, showing great dissatisfaction.

At first, the Wang Family hoped Xia Lianlian would reconcile with the Ou Family.

Later, when the Ou Family did not react at all, the Wang Family grew more displeased with Xia Lianlian.

Therefore, at this moment, seeing the money, a smile appeared on Xia Lianlian’s face.

"Fine, I’ll take this money," Xia Lianlian said, "consider it as compensation for my family for not raising me!"

Confidently speaking, Xia Lianlian pocketed the money and turned to leave.

Seeing his niece like this, Uncle Xia felt a deep melancholy.

Since Huo Shiqian was also having someone investigate Xia Lianlian, news of Uncle Xia’s meeting with Xia Lianlian was quickly reported to him.

"I understand," Huo Shiqian said, frowning after receiving the news, "You may leave now."

After the subordinate left, Huo Shiqian paused for a moment before exiting the study.

Huo Shiqian found Xia Chuyi, who was sorting things in the bedroom.

"Are you done with your tasks?" Xia Chuyi asked him.

She was referring to Huo Shiqian’s business with his subordinates.

Huo Shiqian nodded, "Yes."

"Then come help me organize these clothes!" Xia Chuyi immediately said, "My second brother bought me so many things."

"I’ve been sorting for days and still can’t figure it out," Xia Chuyi shook her head helplessly. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Upon hearing this, Huo Shiqian approached her, kissed her, then seriously began to help his wife organize the clothes.
