Chapter 93 Indifferent
Huo Qibang touched his nose somewhat awkwardly, then said honestly, "If I say I really didn't do it on purpose, would you believe me?"
Fang Lanxin actually believed in her child, after all, the child had never been able to speak since childhood and had some mental issues.
But Fang Lanxin would never express her understanding or trust now. She just looked at him coldly, just like Lin Meiling, and said, "I think I still need an explanation."
Why can't we get over this?
Huo Qibang looked pitifully at Fang Lanxin, then at his wife, and finally realized that neither his mother nor his wife had any intention of backing down.
He could only slump his shoulders helplessly, and then said, "Okay, it's my fault, I was wrong. I formally apologize to you. I promise I will think twice before I speak in the future, okay?"
"That's it?" Fang Lanxin crossed her arms, indicating her dissatisfaction, and snorted, "You're treating tonight, a big meal!"
"I want to eat the most expensive one!" Lin Meiling immediately followed suit.
Lin Meiling did a pretty good job of getting people to join the group purchase immediately.
Huo Qibang had initially thought it was something serious, but upon hearing this, he immediately agreed, smiling and saying, "Okay, it's settled then, let's head out now!"
Immediately afterwards, Kenneth Fok made a phone call and booked the best restaurant. The three of them drove there and were very happy.
This was the first time Fang Lanxin had eaten out with them like this since her rebirth. Before coming, Fang Lanxin had specially invited reporters to take photos, all to create an image of a harmonious family and dispel all those messy rumors.
After witnessing Fang Lanxin's actions, Huo Qibang finally understood that Fang Lanxin had planned all of this long ago. For some reason, Huo Qibang gradually felt admiration for Fang Lanxin.
“Mom, I thought you didn’t care about those rumors outside.”
Huo Qibang looked at Fang Lanxin cautiously.
Fang Lanxin nodded and said calmly, "You're right. I didn't care in the first place. The reason I made such a fuss is because although I don't care, someone else does."
“The Huo Group is a family business. If the family is unstable, the business will naturally be unstable. You want to reform it and turn it into a shareholding system, which is a good thing. It’s more stable than being a family business.” Fang Lanxin was very supportive of her child’s idea.
Although this approach may seem a bit impersonal, it is an inevitable step for long-term development. If we don't reform now, we will have to later. Rather than being forced to change, we might as well change proactively.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qibang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Fang Lanxin with a smile and then whispered, "Mom, I thought you would blame me!"
“Your decision is correct. Why should I blame you? You are a father now. You will have to learn to handle many things on your own. You are in a position of authority and a leader. The most important thing is to stay calm. Even if it is a huge problem, you must learn to stay calm and never show any panic. Otherwise, if someone finds something to use against you, you will be in big trouble.”
“You are not alone. You must remember that behind you stand millions of families and countless people who depend on you for their livelihood.”
Fang Lanxin spoke while eating. Today, she wanted to emphasize the seriousness of the matter and tell Huo Qibang the importance of his position.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qibang suddenly felt a heaviness on his shoulders, and for some reason, he felt somewhat sad.
In the past, Fang Lanxin would never talk to him about these things because she would handle them very well. But now, Fang Lanxin has started to talk to him about these things very seriously. Does this mean that Fang Lanxin will no longer care about these things?
Huo Qibang really wanted to take this opportunity to ask him clearly, but he swallowed the words back. The main reason was that he didn't know what to do. If he asked, he was afraid that even the current peace would be lost.
"I'm going to the fishing village on a business trip next week, but I'll be back before my birthday party."
"Meiling, you need to finalize the guest list in advance, and you also need to prepare our dresses and jewelry in advance."
"This is your first time organizing such a large banquet on your own, so you can learn a lot from it."
Fang Lanxin looked at Lin Meiling very seriously.
If it were before, Lin Meiling would definitely have shaken her head and said she couldn't do it, but now it's different. Lin Meiling suddenly felt that she wasn't so useless after all.
She nodded earnestly: "Mom, don't worry, I will be careful and do a good job this time."
"I trust you, and I'm very relieved." Fang Lanxin smiled gently.
Children will eventually grow up. Only after letting go will you realize that growing up is not a difficult thing. In fact, many people think that children cannot live without their parents, but in fact, many times it is the parents who cannot live without their children.
“Mom, Ya Ya called me and said it’s your birthday and she’ll be coming back from abroad.”
Huo Qibang looked at Fang Lanxin expectantly, hoping to get an answer.
However, Fang Lanxin didn't react in any particular way. She just smiled and said calmly, "Why go through all this trouble, coming and going so far?"
"But she just wants to cause trouble."
"Mom, just let her do whatever she wants."
Kenneth Fok sighed, somewhat helplessly.
Huo Siya, this little rascal, has been a troublemaker since the moment she was born.
Upon hearing this, Fang Lanxin smiled and said, "Alright, then go ahead and do whatever you want."
"Mom, are you still angry?"
"My little sister did go too far, but she also suffered a great loss. Why don't we just let it go?"
Huo Qibang looked at Fang Lanxin pitifully.
Fang Lanxin then realized that the two children had an extraordinary relationship. Even though Huo Qibang himself was currently overwhelmed with problems, he still took the opportunity to plead for his sister, which could be considered a mutual effort.
“When she comes back this time, talk to her and tell her not to waste her time abroad. Go work at the jewelry company under the Huo Group. Working and learning at the same time is the fastest way.” Fang Lanxin was still worried about Huo Siya being alone abroad.
Even though every time she saw Huo Siya, she would be reminded of the feeling of being drugged, no matter what, she was still her own daughter, and she always cared about her.
