Chapter 40 Fatal Blow
Huo Siya was pampered from a young age, and the Huo family found her the best etiquette teacher. She was carefully trained, so she naturally knew the principles of being a good person.
But she never considered the evil of the lower-class people, especially the huge class gap between them, which created a natural difference and made the Chen family want to gain pleasure by torturing her.
Huo Siya glanced at Chen Hao cautiously, but found that he had no intention of speaking up for her. He could only kneel there silently, enduring Chen's mother's humiliation, and silently blame Fang Lanxin for everything.
If it weren't for her disrespect towards the Chen family, why would they treat her like this?
Fang Lanxin said she would no longer pay attention to Huo Siya, but in fact she was still a little worried. She was mainly afraid that Huo Siya would do something foolish and implicate the Huo family, so she had someone keep an eye on her.
Fang Lanxin received the photos very quickly.
Seeing her daughter, whom she had raised like a treasure, kneeling before a prostitute, Fang Lanxin felt utterly ironic!
She gave a cold laugh and threw the photo onto Huo Qibang's desk: "Is this the kind of free love your sister is pursuing?"
Huo Qibang was startled. After taking the photo and looking at it, his expression changed: "Does the Chen family want to die? Mother? You... how do you have this? Are you spying on my sister?"
"Huo Siya's surname is Huo, she's a member of the Huo family. You've seen the true colors of the Chen family. If she really loses her mind and uses the Huo family's name to do something outside, what will you do?" Fang Lanxin said expressionlessly, not answering Huo Qibang's question, but instead asking him in return.
At first, Huo Qibang did not realize the seriousness of the matter, but after hearing this, he immediately understood. He looked at Fang Lanxin in disbelief, as if he had already thought of the consequences!
"Mom, that won't do! This could be a fatal blow to our Huo family!"
"Therefore, Huo Siya cannot be a member of the Huo family."
After saying this, Fang Lanxin got up and left.
She has done everything she could, and now it's up to Kenneth Fok to decide what to do next.
However, Fang Lanxin underestimated Huo Qibang's selfishness. After leaving the Huo family mansion, she received a message from the newspaper. They called to inquire whether the news of Huo Siya being expelled from the newspaper was true or false.
This is no small matter, and the newspaper doesn't seem to have really offended the Huo family, which is why they called Fang Lanxin to inquire about it.
Fang Lanxin had always thought that even if Huo Qibang harbored resentment towards her, his love and affection for his younger sister was genuine. However, she never imagined that he was so selfish and only loved her.
She never understood why all her hard work had resulted in raising such a cold and heartless child. Was this the inherent flaw of large families?
“Madam, you’ve already drunk two bottles. You can’t drink anymore.” Hu Zi walked over and looked at Fang Lanxin with some concern: “Take care of your health.”
Fang Lanxin put down her wine glass and smiled somewhat absentmindedly: "Yes, I really can't drink anymore. You can go home now."
Hu Zi looked at Fang Lanxin with some unease, but dared not utter a word of rebuttal. He could only silently turn around and walk outside.
In an instant, Fang Lanxin was left all alone in the huge hillside villa, experiencing the utterest loneliness and darkness.
Fang Lanxin sat silently on the sofa, without turning on the light, curled up, hugged her knees, and cried softly.
She was so heartbroken, and after being reborn, she felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness. She thought that she could live a carefree life after being reborn, but she unexpectedly discovered that the things that had trapped her in her previous life could trap her now as well.
Ling Ye could see from afar that all the lights in the hillside villa were off. He suddenly remembered that Fang Lanxin hated the dark the most and would always leave the lights on, for fear that Fang Lanxin might be in danger. Ling Ye twisted the accelerator and sped up to drive into the hillside villa.
He opened the door and walked in. The whole house was quiet except for the low sobbing sounds coming from the sofa. Even though the sounds were very low, Ling Ye recognized them immediately as Fang Lanxin's voice.
He groped his way to the sofa in the dark and, taking advantage of the darkness, pulled Fang Lanxin into his arms.
"A-Ye, what brings you here?"
Fang Lanxin was no stranger to this embrace. In her dazed state, she subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck, and when she spoke, her voice was a little hoarse.
"I was worried about you, so I came back to check on you." Ling Ye said honestly. He picked the person up and instinctively reached for the light.
But Fang Lanxin pressed his hand down: "Don't turn on the light."
"Don't you hate the dark?" Ling Ye frowned. He couldn't see Fang Lanxin's expression through the darkness.
Fang Lanxin smiled and said in a very soft voice, "I cried, but I didn't want you to see."
"Then I'll take you back to whose house?" Ling Ye had no choice but to walk upstairs by the moonlight.
Ling Ye carefully placed Fang Lanxin on the bed, sat beside her, and groped for her hand, asking, "Madam, why are you crying?"
"Because I want to cry."
Fang Lanxin's voice was hoarse, but she still spoke with conviction.
This answer was completely unexpected for Ling Ye. For some reason, even though he could clearly sense the loneliness and grievance emanating from Fang Lanxin, he still laughed out loud when he heard these words.
"What are you laughing at?"
Dissatisfied, Fang Lanxin bit Ling Ye's arm hard.
Ling Ye winced in pain but did not resist. He waited until Fang Lanxin had finished venting before asking, "Madam, is this a work injury?"
"You little devil!"
Fang Lanxin snorted, then rested her head on his lap and fell into a deep sleep.
She drank way too much today, so she slept exceptionally well.
The next day, early morning.
The news that the Huo family had expelled Huo Siya from their home quickly spread throughout Hong Kong, and could even be said to have caused a sensation throughout the city.
It was like a depth charge that exploded in Hong Kong's socialite circles, with Huo Siya, the person involved, being the last to know.
She stared at the contents of the newspaper in disbelief, then screamed like a madwoman.
She was tortured and humiliated at the Chen family's house all night, and her knees are still throbbing with pain. But she never expected that she would see this news as soon as she sat down!
Chen Hao also saw the newspaper. His expression changed, and he grabbed Huo Siya by the neck: "What does your Huo family mean by this!"
"I...I don't know, I really don't know."
