Chapter 12 It's All for You
"Why does your Huo family have so many stinky rules?"
Ling Ye immediately stopped impatiently, his eyebrows furrowed tightly as he looked at Huo Fu with displeasure.
"I'll only stay here for a month!"
Huo Fu had seen a lot in his life, but he had never seen such a wild and unruly young man before. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, then gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you work here for a whole day, you have to follow the rules!"
"knew!"
Ling Ye impatiently tugged at his hair, then slammed the door shut.
This was the first time Huo Fu had been turned away at the Huo family's door; even Fang Lanxin had never been so rude.
Upstairs, Fang Lanxin went to check on Tianle immediately.
"Mom, the child is fine, don't worry."
Lin Meiling's opinion of her mother-in-law has changed significantly, not for any other reason than that she saved Tianle's life!
Fang Lanxin breathed a sigh of relief as she watched her child sleeping peacefully in bed.
Then, she looked at Lin Meiling and said, "From now on, you need to learn how to manage the affairs of the Huo family's inner quarters. Sooner or later, the Huo family will be handed over to you two, so you can't bring shame upon yourselves."
"Yes, Mother, don't worry, I will definitely study hard." Lin Meiling felt a little strange.
In the past, my mother never let her get involved in these family matters, so why does it seem like things have changed now?
In her previous life, Fang Lanxin was greedy. She wanted to control both the company and the family, refusing to share any power with anyone else. This drove her two children insane, and she ultimately met a terrible end.
In this life, Fang Lanxin will definitely not repeat the same mistakes.
She took out the seal of the Huo family's inner quarters and handed it to Lin Meiling, saying indifferently, "From now on, you will be in charge of all household purchases and personnel arrangements. I'm getting old and want some peace and quiet."
"Mom?"
Lin Meiling was stunned when she saw the seal, and her first reaction was that she didn't dare to reach out and take it.
"My mother is only in her forties, the prime of her life, how can she be old already?"
"I...I don't understand these things."
Lin Meiling finally slumped her shoulders in despair.
After she married into the family, she only cared about having and taking care of the children, and knew nothing about the affairs of the household.
Seeing her like this, Fang Lanxin had a headache. When she was nineteen, she had already supported the entire Huo family, but now, Lin Meiling had been married into the family for so long and still didn't know anything. It seemed that she had really gone too far before, and hadn't even taught her daughter-in-law how to be the lady of the Huo family!
"From today onwards, you will stay by my side and learn slowly."
Fang Lanxin placed the seal into Lin Meiling's palm, then turned and walked outside.
The seal was icy cold and even had sharp edges, which made Lin Meiling feel a sharp pain.
As Fang Lanxin came out of the room, she glanced at the time and knew that Huo Qibang would be home from get off work soon.
She could roughly guess what the child would say after seeing her. Fang Lanxin didn't want to hear those words, so she directly called Guan Erye.
"Second Master, shall we have dinner together tonight?"
A long, drawn-out silence fell over the other end.
Finally, there was only a soft "Mmm".
Fang Lanxin was clearly dissatisfied with this reaction.
"Second Master, they kindly invited you to dinner, what's with your reaction?"
"Perhaps we were not treated well in Lan Kwai Fong last time? How about we go somewhere else?"
Guan Erye almost instinctively gripped the phone tighter. He had never heard Fang Lanxin speak in such a tone before. She didn't sound like the powerful and influential CEO Fang at all; she sounded more like the delicate little girl before she got married.
Where to?
Even though his heart was filled with turmoil, Guan Yu remained outwardly calm and composed.
"I'll pick you up in my car at your doorstep, Second Master. You'd better dress up smartly!"
Fang Lanxin hung up the phone without waiting for a reply, then opened the wardrobe and began picking out clothes.
She picked out a pale yellow dress and held it up in front of her.
Fang Lanxin's wardrobe is mostly filled with dark colors, mainly because she is getting older and has to suppress various forces, so she has to dress more dignifiedly and elegantly.
In fact, Fang Lanxin has loved these bright colors since she was young, and now that she has been reborn, she will never again compromise herself.
After changing into this outfit, Fang Lanxin's complexion looked even whiter. She smiled at herself in the mirror. She was already forty years old and no longer a young person, but she took good care of herself. Especially when she wore this outfit, she looked like she was only in her twenties.
Fang Lanxin came downstairs: "Afu, prepare the car, I'm going out!"
"Madam..." Huo Fu rushed over, thinking something had happened outside, but when he saw Fang Lanxin's delicate appearance, he froze on the spot: "Madam, you're so beautiful!"
Fang Lanxin suddenly laughed out loud and tapped his shoulder: "Glib talker."
Ling Ye was already standing in front of the car, his face full of impatience, clearly having waited for a while.
His once-neat and formal suit was now loose and baggy on him, and he wasn't even wearing a tie. His trouser pockets were bulging, so he must have stuffed them inside.
Fang Lanxin stepped forward, and Ling Ye opened the car door: "Madam, please get in the car."
"Tie." Fang Lanxin held out her hand, frowning as she looked at Ling Ye.
Ling Ye had never listened to anyone's words since he was a child, but for some reason, when he looked into Fang Lanxin's eyes, he obediently took out the tie from his pocket and placed it in Fang Lanxin's palm.
The tie was crumpled up in a ball, all wrinkled and crumpled.
Fang Lanxin unfolded her tie, then stepped forward and put it around Ling Ye's neck.
"What are you doing?"
Ling Ye's heart skipped a beat, his face immediately changed, his ears turned red, and he subconsciously tried to struggle.
But Fang Lanxin tightened her grip slightly: "Don't move!"
"A tie is a man's calling card, so it should be well taken care of."
"It's okay if you didn't know how before, I'll teach you later."
Fang Lanxin was skilled and quickly fixed his tie.
The moment she looked up, she met Ling Ye's burning gaze, and their breaths sprayed onto each other's faces.
Fang Lanxin remained unfazed, took a step back, and got into the car.
But she didn't ignore the beating of her chest; in both her past and present lives, this was the first time she had felt such a strong heartbeat.
Ling Ye's ears turned bright red, and he had to fasten his seatbelt several times while sitting in the driver's seat.
"Madam, where are you going?" Ling Ye asked, only to find that his words sounded awkward and he felt a surge of anger.
Fang Lanxin remained calm: "Sheung Wan, the pier."
Ling Ye secretly observed Fang Lanxin through the rearview mirror and noticed that she looked somewhat disappointed, but in her heart, she cursed herself for being so spineless.
