Huo Qingning, crying and begging for her parents, felt utterly humiliated.

After chasing Huo Qiwen around the private room several times, he collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

"Ouch."

Huo Qiwen, who managed to evade his mother's pursuit, was tripped by Huo Sitang's long legs as he passed by.

With a thud, he fell flat on his face again.

Tang Li saw everything.

This sister-in-law has definitely practiced!

"Go cry at home if you want to, don't embarrass yourself here."

Huo Qingshu couldn't stand it anymore and gave Huo Qingning a way out.

"What are you standing there for, you brat? Help your mother up and get out of here. You haven't even cleaned up the shit behind your own backside, so don't meddle in other people's business."

Under Huo Qingshu's roar.

Huo Qingning and her son left the private room.

Huo Yancheng then followed him out.

Revenge must be taken on the spot; this is Huo Yancheng's principle in life.

Outside the private room, Huo Qiwen, who had just left, was taken to another private room by Huo Yancheng. After beating him until his face was bruised and swollen, Huo Yancheng grabbed his ear and asked:

"Tell me, who gave you the money to come here and spread rumors to ruin my sister-in-law's reputation?"

That can't be said.

Kenneth Fok gritted his teeth:

"It's written in the news, aren't you blind? Huo Yancheng, you're a tyrant, I'm going to sue you and send you to jail."

Going to jail, huh?

Huo Yancheng became even more ruthless.

After finishing, he stood up and asked:

"Name your price, how much is enough to settle this privately?"

Money is such a bastard.

Huo Qiwen, lacking any backbone, held up one finger: "One million."

One million?

"Sure." Huo Yancheng readily agreed: "This time next year, I'll burn one million ghost money for you."

I thought it was fine if he just wanted some money to support his girlfriend's pregnancy.

I didn't expect him to ask for such an exorbitant amount.

Huo Yancheng wasn't some kind of innocent fool, he stood up and shook his hand:

"Go ahead and sue me, I'm waiting."

Oh wow.

I didn't earn a single penny.

Huo Qiwen was filled with regret. He should have asked for less; even a few hundred thousand would have been enough.

After watching Huo Yancheng walk out, Huo Qiwen sent a message to Lin Yiyun:

"The matter has been completed. Please make the final payment."

I'm still waiting for this money to go to the hospital to treat my wound.

Some things don't necessarily have to be accomplished.

After all, once the seed of doubt is planted, it will eventually take root and sprout.

Inside the private room.

Huo Yishen said apologetically to Tang Yuan:

"Brother-in-law, I'm so sorry to have made you laugh."

Tang Yuan calmly picked up his teacup: "It's been many years since I've seen such a lively scene. Today has truly broadened my horizons."

The tone was not particularly friendly.

Huo Qingshu was still thinking of avenging his nephew, so he asked:

What are your thoughts on news rumors, brother-in-law?

In such a situation, the Huo family, with their superior numbers and influence, bullied the Tang siblings, which made Huo Yishen lose face.

Huo Yishen has been patiently enduring.

Fortunately, Tang Yuan wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and said:

"Didn't you already say that it was a rumor?"

Since it is a rumor, it should be stopped by the wise.

Instead of using it to stir up trouble in such situations.

Huo Qingshu had no intention of letting the matter rest and pressed on, "I saw the photos and videos, and it's clear that my niece-in-law is indeed having an affair with that man. It's evident that what the media reported is not unfounded. Shouldn't my brother-in-law give us, the elders of the Huo family, an explanation?"

That's ridiculous.

What kind of skill is it to bully someone's brother-in-law?

If anyone should be questioned about this, it should be Tang Li.

Looking at the room full of Huo family relatives with ulterior motives, Tang Yuan casually put down his teacup and looked at Huo Qingshu:

"Has the Huo family ever had such a scandal? Such a trivial matter, based on mere rumors, makes you feel extremely uneasy and fearful."

It seems that literary appreciation is contagious.

Hearing his brother-in-law speak eloquently, Huo Chenyu's anxiety subsided.

These two siblings are alike; neither of them wants to suffer a loss.

Huo Qingshu almost slammed his fist on the table, angrily rebuking the rest of the Huo family:

"Are you deaf or dumb? The Tang family has bullied us to this extent. If you don't speak up now, do you really want to wait until Tang Li gives birth to a little bastard and brings shame to our Huo family before you realize how disgraceful you are?"

The eldest uncle and the youngest uncle were both a little unable to hold back, but they were both pulled back by their respective wives.

Huo Yishen hasn't made a statement yet, so it's not their place to be anxious and jump up and down at this point.

At this moment, Wei Chaoyu and Huo Chenyu were both a little impatient. However, seeing Huo Yishen sitting steadily in his chair, they probably wanted to take this opportunity to see clearly who in the Huo family was not on their side.

Seeing that none of them dared to step forward, Huo Qingshu slammed his hand on the table:

"What a disgrace! The Huo family, a prominent and influential family in Tanzhou, has been bullied by the Tang siblings to the point that they don't dare to utter a single word."

Nobody paid him any attention; he was just a clown.

Tang Yuan scratched his ear and lazily stood up:

"I've been sitting here so long I'm practically numb, and the food still hasn't arrived. If the Huo family can't afford this meal, then I'm leaving. I hate pointless socializing and wasting time."

The Huo family gave him a tremendous amount of face, which is why they invited so many people to accompany this rare guest.

He is so arrogant.

Huo Qingshu was furious:

"Isn't it a bit too ill-mannered for my brother-in-law to show such disrespect to the Huo family?"
