After some instructions, Xia Chuyi quickly hung up the phone.

The reason for such brevity was obviously because Xia Chuyi was putting on a show for Guo Jiumin.

The implication was that she wasn’t intentionally dragging out the call to give the other side a chance to track it.

Seeing Xia Chuyi being so astute, Guo Jiumin was quite satisfied, thinking Xia Chuyi genuinely intended to cooperate with him.

"Now, Mr. Guo, shouldn’t you let me meet Xia Lan?" Xia Chuyi said calmly.

"Of course," Guo Jiumin smiled.

Then, with a few instructions, Guo Jiumin’s people brought Xia Lan into the room.

To be honest, the moment Xia Chuyi saw Xia Lan, she hadn’t expected Xia Lan to have changed into such a state.

"You..." Xia Chuyi looked at Xia Lan, who was dressed flamboyantly but had a noticeably sullen expression, with a slight daze.

In contrast, Xia Lan was also taken aback upon seeing Xia Chuyi, then a hint of discontent quickly flashed across her face.

However, just for a moment, Xia Lan suppressed her dissatisfaction and looked at Guo Jiumin with a respectful and sycophantic demeanor, "Mr. Guo, why did you bring me here? Is there something you wanted to tell me?"

"Nothing much, just that Young Madam Huo wanted to see you," Guo Jiumin replied calmly to Xia Chuyi.

This situation seemed quite different from what Xia Chuyi had imagined.

Maybe it was just her imagination, but Xia Chuyi felt that Guo Jiumin’s tone towards Xia Lan wasn’t very kind.

Because Xia Chuyi originally thought that if Xia Lan was with Guo Jiumin, she must be living a life of luxury and ease.

Who knew that Xia Lan seemed to be not doing so well.

After thinking it over, Xia Chuyi said to Guo Jiumin, "Mr. Guo, could you let me talk to Xia Lan alone?"

Hearing this, Guo Jiumin frowned slightly, seeming a bit reluctant.

"Don’t worry, Mr. Guo, I just want to ask her a few questions," Xia Chu’s smile appeared as she said, "After all, you know, we have some ’similar’ secrets."

Xia Chuyi deliberately said this.

Upon hearing Xia Chuyi’s explanation and seeing her seemingly sincere attitude, Guo Jiumin’s furrowed brows finally relaxed, and he smiled, "No problem, talk first, I’ll go check on Young Madam Huo’s sister, hoping..."

"Hoping the outcome of your conversation won’t disappoint me," Guo Jiumin said earnestly.

"Of course," Xia Chu’s smile nodded calmly at Guo Jiumin.

Seeing this, Guo Jiumin looked at her with satisfaction and then left the study.

After Guo Jiumin left, only Xia Chuyi and Xia Lan remained in the study.

Unlike earlier, once Guo Jiumin left, the obedient demeanor of Xia Lan instantly changed.

"Xia Chuyi, you were also reborn, weren’t you?" Without waiting for questions, Xia Lan spoke first with a confrontational tone!

"Reborn?" Xia Chuyi raised an eyebrow and said, "I don’t understand what you mean."

Xia Lan immediately complained, "Hmph, stop pretending! If you weren’t reborn, how could you have changed so much from the last life?"

"And you even snatched two of our major investments!" Xia Lan said angrily, "If it weren’t for that, how could Mr. Guo stop trusting me?"

"It’s all because of you, Xia Chuyi, you’re practically the nemesis of my destiny!"

"It’s either you or me, one can’t survive with the other!"

In response, Xia Chuyi maintained her composure and said, "Xia Lan, it seems the previous events still haven’t made you repent..."
