Chapter 163 Integrity
"Mom, I remember when I was little, you were a very sunny and cheerful woman. Why have you become like this? Does this mean I'll have to live like this for the next few decades?"
“We won’t starve if we leave him. Besides, whether you divorce or not, I’m still a daughter of the Huo family. I have Huo family blood in my veins, so it won’t affect me at all!”
Huo Xianxian looked at Huang Ying very seriously, her expression one of utter disappointment.
In fact, Huo Xianxian also knew that Huang Ying had been holding on until now entirely for her daughter, but Huo Xianxian had grown up now and did not need her mother to sacrifice herself to protect her!
Seeing her daughter like this, Huang Ying suddenly felt a surge of courage within her.
“Yes, you’re right. I’m in a really bad situation right now. Divorce isn’t such a big deal. Besides, I did nothing wrong. Why should I leave with nothing and take nothing?” Huang Ying’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, clearly already planning for herself.
Upon hearing this, Huo Xianxian was overjoyed: "Yes, if we don't take it, it will only benefit those sluts outside. Mom, I will help you!"
What do you want to help your mother with?
As soon as Huo Zhenhong entered the room, he heard the two of them plotting to seize his property. He was so angry that his face turned pale. He strode forward and slapped Huang Ying hard across the face.
"You bitch, I've raised you for so many years, and this is how you raise my daughter?"
"Great! That's really great!"
Huang Ying was knocked to the ground, but dared not refute him.
"Enough! What's wrong with what my mother said? Since you two are already suffering so much living together, why do you continue to torment my mother!"
"Get a divorce! Just get a divorce already, I've really had enough!"
Huo Xianxian immediately stood in front of Huang Ying and roared out her true feelings to Huo Zhenhong.
"presumptuous!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Huo Zhenhong slapped Huo Xianxian hard across the face. Huo Xianxian was stubborn, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, but she refused to take a single step back. Huo Zhenhong felt that his authority as a father had been challenged, so he grabbed Huo Xianxian's neck and slapped her again and again.
Was I wrong?
"Do you know you were wrong?"
Huang Ying quickly got up and grabbed Huo Zhenhong's arm.
"Take it out on me, don't hit my daughter!"
"Xianxian, quickly admit your mistake! Tell your father you were wrong!"
Huang Ying's tears were flying everywhere; she was extremely anxious.
But Huo Xianxian just gritted her teeth and stubbornly looked at Huo Zhenhong: "Unless I'm dead, I will never admit my mistake!"
"Excellent! You truly are worthy of being a descendant of the Huo family!"
"I'd like to see just how tough your bones really are!"
Huo Zhenhong suddenly laughed, then with a forceful shove, he threw the man onto the sofa, and then reached for his belt, whipping him hard.
The sound of the belt cutting through the wind was terrifying, and the sound of the belt hitting her body was even more devastating for Huang Ying. She took a deep breath, and through her teary eyes, she saw Huo Xianxian curled up on the sofa, still using her back to support herself, gritting her teeth and refusing to admit her mistake.
"Huo Zhenhong!"
Huang Ying suddenly broke down and roared, then grabbed a vase from the side and smashed it hard on Huo Zhenhong's head.
Huo Zhenhong paused for a moment, turned around, frowned at Huang Ying, and before he could speak, Huang Ying shakily threw the object again, once, twice, three times!
"Mother, that's enough, that's enough!"
"Mother!"
Huo Xianxian was terrified and hurriedly went over to hug Huang Ying, who was still acting crazy.
"Someone come quick! Call an ambulance!"
"Hospital! Take him to the hospital!"
Huo Zhenhong lost consciousness, and there was blood all over the ground, but his hand was still tightly gripping the belt in his hand.
Fang Lanxin hadn't even returned to the gallery when she learned of the news, so she had to change direction and hurriedly head towards the hospital.
When she arrived at the hospital, Huo Qibang and Huo Siya also rushed over.
"Mom, what brings you here too?"
"What...what exactly is going on?"
Huo Siya was quite frightened, and looked at Fang Lanxin with a tense expression.
Fang Lanxin shook her head: "I don't know either. I just heard that something happened to the fourth branch of the family, so I came to check. Abang, you can't just stay here now. You... you have to quickly think of a way to control the public opinion outside, and get rid of all the media at the hospital entrance!"
"Yes!" Huo Qibang immediately realized what was going on and instructed Huo Wen to do it.
He frowned, took Fang Lanxin's hand, and they went into the ward together.
Although Huo Zhenhong's injuries looked serious, they were actually just superficial wounds and not life-threatening. He had to have dozens of stitches on his head and was still unconscious.
Seeing this, Fang Lanxin frowned deeply as she looked at Huang Ying, who was trembling and covered in blood, and asked, "What exactly happened?"
"I don't know what happened, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"
"I didn't mean to, sister-in-law, I really didn't mean to! He! He was the one who wanted to kill Xianxian, I couldn't help it, I really couldn't help it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Xianxian walked in. Her cheeks were swollen, and her arms and hands were covered in bruises. It was obvious that she had been beaten.
Seeing her like this, Fang Lanxin felt a headache coming on and spat at Huo Zhenhong on the bed: "Serves you right, you really deserve it!"
Well……
Huo Qibang sighed helplessly at Fang Lanxin's expression, then said, "Mom, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say that?"
"What's wrong with that? This guy is abusive; he deserves to be beaten!"
"If you ask me, the beating was too lenient!"
"Never mind, public opinion is the most important thing right now."
Fang Lanxin rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache. Lately, one thing after another had happened to the Huo family. If things continued like this, the board of directors would definitely have something to say, which wouldn't be good for them either.
Thinking of this, Fang Lanxin took a deep breath: "We must keep a close eye on it and not let those media outlets spread rumors. To the outside world, we must say it was an accident, understand?"
"yes!"
Huo Qibang immediately agreed, glancing at Huo Siya: "You're coming with me too!"
"I want to stay and keep my mother company!"
"You're coming with me!"
Huo Qibang immediately grabbed Huo Siya's wrist and took her out.
For a moment, only Fang Lanxin and Huo Zhenhong, a family of three, remained in the room.
Fang Lanxin stared at Huang Ying: "Is this what you wanted to see? I told you to make a decisive decision, but you didn't listen. Now your daughter is in this state. Are you satisfied?"
"Sister-in-law, I want a divorce!"
"I will never live like this again!"
Huang Ying forcefully wiped away her tears and looked at Fang Lanxin with great seriousness, her expression resolute for the first time.
Finally, I saw a bit of backbone in this person!
