Chapter 135 Resistance

“Back then, your uncle suddenly passed away. For the sake of Huo Qibang and Huo Siya, I had no other choice.”

Fang Lanxin found it somewhat amusing when she thought about how she had given up her paintbrush for the sake of her two children. Whether she regretted it or not, she couldn't say for sure now; in any case, she had already made her choice.

Seeing Fang Lanxin's expression, Huo Xianxian immediately understood what she meant.

Sometimes I really envy my older brother and sister for having such a wonderful mother like you.

"For them, you can dedicate yourself wholeheartedly, and everything you do is for them!"

Huo Xianxian spoke from the bottom of her heart, saying that her parents always thought of themselves and rarely thought of their daughter.

Seeing Huo Xianxian like this, Fang Lanxin smiled gently and said, "Alright, don't say these things anymore. You'll live a very good life on your own, won't you?"

Hearing this, Huo Xianxian nodded: "Yes, I can rely on myself. My mother is a stubborn person. She always thinks that she is in this situation because of other people. But in fact, it is all her own fault. She can't get out of this situation, and no one can save her!"

Fang Lanxin didn't say much else. Due to the limitations of the times, there are actually many women like this in wealthy families. As long as they can stand in this position, they won't care about anything else. Even if they are subjected to domestic violence or infidelity, they will persevere.

Soon, Fang Lanxin took Huo Xianxian on a tour of the entire gallery.

She looked at Huo Xianxian with a smile: "So, have you seen enough? Do you like it or not? Are you willing to stay?"

"Yes, of course I'm willing, Auntie. How about I work for you?" Huo Xianxian looked at Fang Lanxin with her eyes crinkling.

Fang Lanxin nodded, then said, "There's a lounge in the back. If you don't like living at home, you can move in here."

After saying that, Fang Lanxin turned around and walked outside, leaving Huo Xianxian alone. She should have thought about her own affairs carefully.

The Huo family has four branches.

"Dad, I've made up my mind. I want to work at Aunt's art gallery." Huo Xianxian looked at Huo Zhenhong very seriously.

In Fok Chun-hung's eyes, women are useless, including daughters. Because he has no son, Fok Chun-hung doesn't treat his wife and children well.

Hearing Huo Xianxian say this, Huo Zhenhong didn't hesitate at all and slapped her hard across the face.

What are you doing!

Seeing her daughter being wronged, Huang Ying's expression immediately changed. She quickly stepped forward to protect the child behind her and frowned at Huo Zhenhong.

Huo Zhenhong was already furious, and upon hearing this, he became even more ruthless, kicking Huang Ying hard in the stomach, sending her flying. The mother and daughter both fell to the ground.

"Mother!"

"You've gone too far! How could you treat my mother like this!"

Huo Xianxian, her face covered in tears, struggled to her feet and glared at Huo Zhenhong through gritted teeth.

"You should use your skills outside, why are you using them on us!"

"You're the real coward! Bah!"

Huo Xianxian tilted her head back, stared intently at Huo Zhenhong, and retorted fiercely!

This was unprecedented, and even Huo Zhenhong was stunned for a moment. But soon, Huo Zhenhong reacted and responded with a barrage of punches!

"Go ahead and kill me if you dare. If you can't kill me, I'll go to work!"

Huo Xianxian clutched her head tightly, crying through gritted teeth.

"Enough!"

Huang Ying finally lost her temper and smashed the vase hard on Huo Zhenhong's head.

Blood flowed down Huo Zhenhong's head, and the entire room seemed to freeze in time.

In the end, all three members of the family ended up in the hospital.

Upon receiving the news, Fang Lanxin rushed to the hospital ward immediately, looking at Huo Xianxian with concern: "Are you... are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

After making such a scene, Huo Xianxian has calmed down and is no longer confused as before.

"Fang Lanxin, what kind of bewitching drug did you give our Xianxian? Why would she rather die than work with you!" Huang Ying, whose head was also wrapped in gauze, stared intently at Fang Lanxin, her words laced with venom.

Seeing Huang Ying like this, Fang Lanxin said directly, "Xianxian doesn't want to work with me at all, she just wants to escape her family of origin. Look at yourself now, you can't even protect yourself, how can you protect your daughter?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Huang Ying's expression changed, and she became furious.

But she quickly slumped her shoulders, tears streaming down her face: "What can I do? The other woman has given birth to a son. Am I supposed to get a divorce? If I don't get a divorce, we still have a sliver of hope. But if we get divorced, my Xianxian will have nothing left!"

"No, even if you don't get a divorce, Xianxian will have nothing, and she will still be beaten and verbally abused."

"But after your divorce, Xianxian will have freedom, a good mood, and a very, very good future."

"Yingying, you've endured this for so long, are you going to keep enduring it?"

Fang Lanxin looked at Huang Ying with a worried expression.

She walked over and sighed at Huang Ying: "We were husband and wife, why should he make you leave with nothing?"

As she spoke, she handed Huang Ying a business card: "This is the best divorce lawyer in the industry. You can handle it yourself."

Fang Lanxin had neither a good nor a bad feeling towards Huang Ying; she simply wanted to help as a woman.

As I came out of the ward, I saw Huo Zhenhong standing at the door.

Is this all you've got?

Huo Zhenhong's eyebrows were tightly furrowed as he glared at Fang Lanxin through gritted teeth.

"You are truly despicable and shameless!"

"Are you satisfied now that I'm abandoned by everyone?"

Fang Lanxin found his hysterical state somewhat amusing.

"You know better than I why you've become so isolated and abandoned by everyone."

"You deserve it."

Fang Lanxin shoved Huo Zhenhong's shoulder aside and strode away.

However, Fang Lanxin was somewhat surprised by the two women's resistance this time. She had originally thought that Huang Ying would continue to endure it and Huo Xianxian would continue to run away.

Unexpectedly, these two people had the courage to resist.

As I walked out of the hospital, I happened to run into Kenneth Fok, who had come to visit me.

Huo Qibang immediately stepped forward: "Mom, what are you doing here? Did... Uncle Fourth give you a hard time?"
