Chapter 197 Forced Calm
But just as he was about to cut, he suddenly remembered that Fang Lanxin had said she didn't like him doing such things, so he forced himself to stop and put down the craft knife.
Forcing himself to calm down, Lu Chen picked up the script, ready to join the crew immediately. Only by keeping busy could he earn more money for Fang Lanxin, and only by keeping busy could he stop overthinking.
He never wanted to live anymore. If it weren't for meeting Fang Lanxin, he would probably be a wandering ghost by now.
But now that he has met Fang Lanxin, all he wants is to stay with her, work for her, and earn as much as he can. This way, he can feel that he is alive, that he is needed, and that he has value.
Fang Lanxin had no idea that Lu Chen was thinking this way. She was just thinking that it was time to teach the second and fourth wives a lesson.
During this time, Ah Shuang was also busy. He and Huo Wen worked together to collect all the evidence of the crimes committed by the second and fourth wives, and now they have compiled it into a document and placed it quietly in the passenger seat of Fang Lanxin's car.
Fang Lanxin drove back to the Huo family's old residence.
Speaking of which, she has been married into the Huo family for so many years, and apart from holidays, she rarely comes to the old house. Fang Lanxin doesn't particularly like this place, mainly because she feels that it is full of feudal and decadent atmosphere.
But today's matter definitely needs to be resolved in this feudal and corrupt place. Sometimes, feudal corruption can brutally solve many problems.
The old folks in the old house know exactly what Fang Lanxin has been doing outside all this time, especially her affair with Guan Yu, which has caused quite a stir and made the old folks in the family very unhappy!
Now that they saw Fang Lanxin walk in, none of them had a pleasant expression on their faces.
However, Fang Lanxin hadn't come here today to curry favor with anyone. She coldly threw the documents in her hand on the table and said indifferently, "The second and fourth wives colluded with the Guan family to hire someone to kill me abroad. What do you think about this?"
Fang Lanxin, in the calmest of tones, dropped a bombshell right in the center of the living room.
Everyone was stunned, looking at Fang Lanxin in disbelief. Huo Zhenhong's biological father, Fourth Master, looked at her in even greater disbelief.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if others don't say anything, how could Ah Hong possibly do such a thing?"
Upon hearing this, the second master of the Huo family immediately changed his expression and looked at the fourth master with displeasure, saying irritably, "What do you mean by that? If he's not your son, does that mean he's mine?"
"I!"
"That's impossible!"
"Lanxin, is there some misunderstanding here?"
Fang Lanxin found their dog-eat-dog behavior utterly ridiculous and simply looked at each of them coldly.
"I wouldn't be here without evidence."
"If the Huo family cannot give me justice, then I will call the police."
Without any hesitation, Fang Lanxin turned around and was about to leave.
At this moment, Fourth Master finally couldn't hold back any longer and immediately spoke up, saying in an annoyed tone, "Where are you going to take this family matter to? Aren't you ashamed?"
"It's not shameful for your son to hire someone to kill, but it's shameful for me, the victim, to report it to the police and protect my legal rights?"
"Your Huo family really is a case of 'once a dragon, twice a king, now mortals are nothing but mud beneath your feet'! Do you think I'm some lowly person?"
Fang Lanxin's eyes were filled with disdain for these old folks.
Back when the master had just left, they all kicked him while he was down, wishing they could divide up everything in his family. Now they're putting on a kind and magnanimous act, which is utterly ridiculous.
The most crucial point is that they are still relying on their status as the ancestor of the Huo family to exploit the eldest branch of the family, insisting on using blood ties to forcibly distribute dividends, demanding at least eight figures in dividends every year.
Thinking about all this, Fang Lanxin felt extremely distressed.
Fang Lanxin has been struggling all these years, so why should they reap the benefits?
In the past, Fang Lanxin would never have said these things, and these people even thought that Fang Lanxin was completely unaware of these things, which made them increasingly outrageous.
But now, Fang Lanxin has reached her limit and doesn't want to endure it anymore!
In the eyes of these old folks, her words are seen as an immoral act of hitting you!
"How dare you speak to your elders like that! No matter what, I am your fourth uncle!" Fourth Master was the first to attack, slamming his hand on the table and looking at Fang Lanxin with displeasure.
Fang Lanxin didn't take it to heart and coldly said, "My lord has been dead for twenty years. I have been more than kind to your Huo family, but you actually want my life. What, I can't fight back and I have to silently endure it? According to your logic, should I die now?"
"you!"
Fourth Master never expected that the person who had previously treated him with such respect would now speak so bluntly and so harshly.
He frowned as he looked at Fang Lanxin: "Even if Ah Hong did such a thing, it was just a moment of confusion. As his sister-in-law, what do you want to do?"
"Oh? Now you're calling me your sister-in-law? How could a man who's almost forty years old be so confused as to hire someone to kill someone?" Fang Lanxin sneered disdainfully. "I was thinking of keeping this matter quiet and letting my elders in the family give me justice, but I never expected that you wouldn't say a word of justice either. Since that's the case, I won't waste my breath on you."
After saying this, Fang Lanxin didn't linger and turned to leave.
Since they're being so shameless, Fang Lanxin will show them no mercy.
After leaving the Huo family's old residence, Fang Lanxin drove directly back to the Huo Group.
Upon entering, he immediately issued an order to convene a board meeting.
Even if she is no longer the president, she is still the largest shareholder and has the right to request a board meeting at any time.
The news spread quickly, and Huo Qibang immediately learned of it and hurriedly came to find Fang Lanxin.
"Mom, why are we having a meeting all of a sudden?"
Huo Qibang looked at Fang Lanxin with a puzzled expression, his brows furrowed, clearly showing some dissatisfaction.
Upon hearing this, Fang Lanxin chuckled and then asked, "What's wrong? I'm the largest shareholder, and I'm calling a board meeting now. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"I..." Huo Qibang felt that familiar, long-lost sense of oppression suddenly rush towards him. He took a deep breath and looked at Fang Lanxin: "Mom, that's not what I meant. I just don't understand why you didn't tell me in advance?"
