Chapter 74 Maintenance
"How is this sophistry? Please explain."
Fang Lanxin did not back down at all, but just looked at Old Master Huo coldly.
Seeing this, Old Master Huo really couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong with Fang Lanxin's words.
"Sister-in-law, don't go too far. Is this how you talk to your elders?"
"We've gathered here today to resolve this matter. You must give us a clear answer: what exactly do you mean?"
Huo Zhenhong immediately spoke up to stop the two from continuing their entanglement.
He looked at Fang Lanxin, his eyes filled with malice.
Now, Fang Lanxin finally understood what he meant; he wanted her to sever ties with the Huo family.
For some reason, Fang Lanxin suddenly found it somewhat amusing, as this was something she had been eagerly anticipating.
In her previous life, she was too deeply involved with the Huo family, which led to the situation she ended up in. Now that she has the opportunity to live a free and easy life, she couldn't be happier!
"Fourth Uncle, you talk too much!"
"Regardless of whether she has any connection with the Huo Group or the Huo family, she is still my mother!"
"Blood ties, how could you possibly sever them?"
Huo Qibang stood up and looked coldly at Huo Zhenhong.
Huo Zhenhong's expression changed upon hearing this, and he then said, "We're all doing this for your own good, Huo Qibang. You're the head of the Huo family now. You have to consider the Huo family in everything you do, do you understand?"
“What did my mother do wrong? My father has been gone for many years, and my mother has devoted herself to this family. Even if she has the idea of remarrying now, it is perfectly reasonable.”
“I, as the son, have no objection. You outsiders, why are you meddling so much? Don’t you think you’re overstepping your bounds?”
Huo Qibang remained firmly on Fang Lanxin's side. At this point, reason was no longer important; the most important thing was that Fang Lanxin was his mother!
Upon hearing this, Fang Lanxin felt no emotion, but rather found it incredibly ironic.
In her previous life, Fang Lanxin herself didn't know how many times she had said these words, but what was Huo Qibang like in her previous life?
He looked at her with disdain, and even felt that what she said was just a form of psychological manipulation!
But now, he himself is saying these words with such certainty and conviction, which Fang Lanxin finds utterly ridiculous.
She didn't want to continue this pretense with these hypocritical people, so she simply smiled and said, "I'm leaving. Do as you please."
"Fang Lanxin, how dare you!"
"How...how dare you just leave like that?"
Old Master Huo really didn't expect that Fang Lanxin, who had always been obedient and respectful to him, would actually turn around and leave, and he couldn't call her back no matter what.
Seeing this, Huo Qibang smiled and said, "Grandpa, all of the Huo family's businesses are now in my hands. My mother is an outsider to the Huo family, so you don't need to worry about her private affairs. But to me, she will always be my mother!"
After saying this, Huo Qibang strode outside.
He quickly caught up with Fang Lanxin and whispered, "Mom, I really didn't know they called us here for this, Mom!"
Why are you defending me today?
Fang Lanxin stopped and frowned as she looked at Huo Qibang.
"You've always sided with them, so why are you speaking up for me today?"
These words left Huo Qibang stunned on the spot.
He really didn't think that much about it; he was basically just subconsciously protecting his mother. But he never expected that he would be questioned because of this.
Huo Qibang looked at Fang Lanxin expectantly and said softly, "Mom, I'm your son. Isn't it only natural for me to protect you?"
What he said was indeed perfectly reasonable and justified, but Fang Lanxin felt as if something had pierced her heart, causing her unbearable pain.
She suddenly laughed, tears welling up in her eyes, but she quickly wiped them away and strode into her car.
It turns out that he also knew that mothers and children are connected by heart, and he knew that it was nature and a matter of course!
But why was he able to do such a thing in his previous life?
Huo Qibang stood there, watching Fang Lanxin's car exhaust fumes, his expression changing repeatedly. He had seen his mother's tears with his own eyes, but he couldn't understand them at all.
"Ah Wen, tell me, what's wrong with Mom?" Huo Qibang asked, looking at Huo Wen beside him, "Did I do something wrong today?"
Having grown up surrounded by people, Huo Wen was somewhat confused upon hearing this. He hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Young Master Huo, do you think it's possible that Madam was moved to tears?"
"Look at the look in my mother's eyes, does she seem touched?"
Huo Qibang rolled his eyes at Huo Wen, showing his disdain.
He could tell that Fang Lanxin's eyes and state were not right, so how could Huo Wen not see it? It's just that things between mother and son are hard to talk about, and he was unwilling to talk about it.
"Young Master Huo, you still have two meetings waiting for you at the company. I'm afraid those old guys won't let you off easily!" Huo Wen looked at Huo Qibang helplessly: "Company reform is more important!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Qibang immediately understood the importance and urgency of the matter, hurriedly turned around, got into his car, and headed towards the company.
Hillside villa.
Fang Lanxin opened the door and saw Huo Siya sitting on the sofa.
Her expression changed slightly, but she still walked over and sat down elegantly opposite Huo Siya, crossing her legs as she looked at her and said indifferently, "Looking for me?"
"Mom, I'm going abroad."
Huo Siya seemed like a completely different person at this moment, as if she had grown up all of a sudden, and her speech carried an indescribable sense of vicissitude.
Fang Lanxin knew that she would not be trapped in the past, because she was the eldest daughter of the Huo family, and she had that ability.
"Um."
Fang Lanxin didn't know whether she should be happy or not, she just nodded faintly.
"Mom, I'm leaving soon. Is there anything you want to tell me?" Huo Siya looked at Fang Lanxin with anticipation.
However, Fang Lanxin showed no expression, and simply said, "Have a safe journey."
"Mom, I've always wanted to properly apologize to you."
Huo Siya lowered her eyes, her gaze filled with guilt, and looked at Fang Lanxin pitifully.
“I thought that Moses Chan and I were truly in love. I thought that by marrying him, I could escape your control. I was wrong. It turns out that you really did it for my own good.”
