Huang Ruo was thrown to the ground, looking incredulous.
Huo Tingzhen actually laid a hand on her?
Mrs. Huang rushed over with concern and helped Huang Ruo up. "Tingzhen, what are you doing?"
Huo Tingzhen gave her a cold look. "You're disrespecting my guest. I'm already being generous by not kicking her out."
Are you going to kick them out?
Mrs. Huang trembled with anger and turned to look at Old Mrs. Huo, "Aunt?"
Grandma Huo sat on the sofa with a stern face, looking Jian Yu up and down.
At first, she didn't think about it from any other angle, but after Huang Ruoyi said it, she unconsciously started to think about it too.
Huo Tingzhen looked at Old Madam Huo and asked, "Grandma, is this how you expect people to treat my guests?"
Without Old Madam Huo's indulgence, the small Huang family wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.
Upon hearing Huo Tingzhen's question, Old Madam Huo finally responded, "Huang Ruo was wrong; she shouldn't have yelled like that."
Huang Ruo was about to argue when his wife pinched his waist.
He winced in pain instantly.
"In that case, please don't come again. It will only cause further inconvenience to my guests."
"Tingzhen!" Huang Ruo exclaimed, "You've gone too far!"
"Excessive?" Huo Tingzhen nodded. "I'll show you what excessive really means."
He gestured to George and the others, "Kick them out, and don't let them in again."
George had long been dissatisfied with Huang Ruo, and he and his brothers began to drive Huang Ruo away.
Grandma Huo was surprised that they actually started pushing and shoving each other. She frowned and shouted, "Stop!"
"Grandma, don't worry, I'll send them out, and we'll eat together later."
As Huang Ruo and her daughter were pushed out the door, Xu Niannian and Xu Que lowered their eyes, suppressing the joy in their eyes.
To their surprise, after chasing Huang Ruo and her daughter away, George turned around and chased them away again.
Xu Que looked at Old Mrs. Huo, "Mom, look..."
Old Mrs. Huo glared angrily, "Tingzhen!"
Huo Tingzhen immediately put on a wronged expression, "Grandma, did you bring them here just to bully my guests? Jian Yu is my benefactor. Without her, I would have died long ago."
Seeing Huo Tingzhen's red eyes, Old Mrs. Huo's tone softened unconsciously, "He didn't mistreat the guest, it's just..."
Grandma Huo couldn't continue.
Huang Ruo was spoiled by her parents and was quite willful.
Out of consideration for Huang Ling, Old Mrs. Huo was very lenient with her.
Seeing that even Old Madam Huo indulged Huang Ruo, everyone turned a blind eye.
This was, in fact, the first time Huang Ruo had ever been humiliated at the Huo family's house.
Mrs. Huang called out from outside the door, "Huang Ruo is young, she didn't mean it, she didn't mean to bully the guest."
Huo Tingzhen was amused and said, "Jian Yu is five years younger than her."
Mrs. Huang choked.
Grandma Huo glanced at Jian Yu, then looked outside at Huang Ruo, just in time to see Huang Ruo glaring at the room through gritted teeth.
Judging from her gaze, she was not only angry with Jian Yu, but she had also taken it to heart by Huo Tingzhen.
Old Mrs. Huo immediately felt disgusted with her. She was an outsider who had taken the surname Huang and was pampered by her, which was why she had such a luxurious life.
It's really too much for her to hold a grudge against her granddaughter over such a small conflict.
Grandma Huo began to side with Huo Tingzhen, saying, "Huang Ruo was wrong. We won't let her come here again."
Huo Tingzhen was somewhat surprised, thinking that the old lady would continue to protect Huang Ruo.
You should know that Huang Ruo secretly drugged him in order to become his brother's girlfriend.
That night, his brother took a cold shower in the bathroom for half the night.
Huang then pleaded with the old lady for leniency.
The next day, the old lady said a few words to Huang Ruo, neither too harsh nor too mild, and then let the matter drop.
After that, Huang Ruo did it twice more, but his brother switched the medicine with Huang Ling both times.
When drugging didn't work, Mrs. Huang persuaded Huang Ling to beg the old lady to arrange the engagement.
The old lady actually considered it and even asked her brother what he thought of Huang Ruo and whether he liked her.
After being firmly rejected by her brother, the old lady gave up on the idea.
When Huang Ruo heard Old Madam Huo say that she shouldn't come over anymore, her face turned pale, and she looked at Mrs. Huang, "Mom, what is Grandma saying?"
If we don't let her come over, how can she pursue Huo Qizhen?
Mrs. Huang, however, was thinking further ahead. The old lady had just glanced at Huang Ruo with great dissatisfaction.
Does the decision to prevent Huang Ruo from coming over mean that there's no longer any intention to matchmake Huang Ruo and Huo Qizhen?
"Auntie, children's quarrels don't need to be taken so seriously."
Grandma Huo ignored her and took a few steps forward. "Jian Yu, you are Tingzhen's guest. Please don't mind if we didn't take good care of you today."
Jian Yu squeezed Huo Tingzhen's palm, and after receiving a prompt, nodded, "Madam Huo, you're too kind."
Grandma Huo said, "I brought some tonics with me. Please ask the kitchen to make more for you."
Jian Yu said, "Thank you, Madam Huo."
After giving Huo Tingzhen a few more instructions, Old Mrs. Huo left with her entourage.
Jian Yu released Huo Tingzhen's hand and asked, "You deliberately drove them away, didn't you?"
Huo Tingzhen nodded, "That's right. These two women have no good intentions. They know my brother doesn't like them, but they still try every means to get close to him. Especially Xu Niannian, when she was abroad, she stayed at the Huo family manor every day, acting like the eldest daughter of the Huo family, which forced my brother to live outside."
"They won't give up."
Needless to say, Huo Tingzhen knew that "Huang Ruo is easy to deal with, but Xu Niannian, that green tea, is the one who gives me a headache."
He offered help and was refused, then said that friends shouldn't be so distant.
Even without evidence, Huo Tingzhen was convinced that Xu Niannian had drugged his brother, but his brother had simply avoided it.
Xu Niannian was meticulous in her work, but unable to find any evidence, she had no choice but to let the matter drop.
Will your grandma come again?
When Madam Huo arrives, Xu Niannian will also take the opportunity to come over.
Jian Yu didn't want to get involved in these relationships, so she decided to move out.
Huo Tingzhen tried to persuade him for a long time, but to no avail.
So they had no choice but to let her move to the villa next door.
"You can stay here without worry! No one will bother you anymore."
George followed him to the next room.
Uncle Li arranged for a chef and two nannies to go with him.
Huo Tingzhen also had a piano brought over.
After settling in, it was already past nine o'clock.
Jian Yu was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open. She wiped her face with a towel and went to sleep.
When Huo Qizhen returned, he immediately noticed that the area in front of the French windows was now empty. "Where's the piano?"
Uncle Li said, "I moved next door."
Huo Qizhen looked over in confusion, "Hmm?"
"Miss Huang Ruo said something that made Jian Yu not want to stay any longer, so the eldest young lady let her move next door."
Huo Qizhen didn't say anything, loosened his tie, and went upstairs expressionlessly.
