Chapter 212 Negative Impact
Fang Lanxin's eyes reddened slightly.
Over the years, everyone has called her Mrs. Huo, and perhaps many people have forgotten that she is Fang Lanxin.
But Fang Lanxin herself remembered; she always remembered her name and who she was.
"Good, very good!"
"That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear!"
"If that's the case, then... then let's do it this way!"
Fourth Uncle snorted, as if he couldn't wait to get this matter done.
"No! I disagree!"
"Second Grandfather, Fourth Grandfather, this is a matter concerning our eldest branch of the family. It has nothing to do with your two families. Besides, I am now the head of the Huo family, and I have the final say in family matters. I disagree!"
This was the first time that Kenneth Fok had expressed his dissatisfaction so loudly in front of these elders!
He would never allow these people to kick his mother out of the house. Huo Qibang knew better than anyone how his mother had stumbled and struggled to get to where she was today over the past twenty years.
In the past, their mother always protected them. Now that Kenneth Fok has grown up, he wants to protect his mother!
I disagree.
Third Aunt Huo Jiaojiao walked in, dressed in a cheongsam that exuded elegance and grace, and radiating a powerful aura.
She entered the room without even glancing at the two old men, but instead greeted Fang Lanxin.
Everyone was stunned. Huo Jiaojiao was the only daughter of the Huo family. Although she was older and a generation above Fang Lanxin, she was well-maintained and looked to be only around forty years old.
She walked to the center of the sofa and gave her fourth uncle a look. He silently moved away. There was nothing she could do; this was the so-called bloodline suppression. Even though they were already in their seventies or eighties, they couldn't change the fear in their bones.
"You two are really getting more and more capable these days. Just because you're a bit older, you start bullying people, don't you?"
"Twenty years ago, my Huo family was a mess. Fang Lanxin, at such a young age, had to raise two children and was on guard against you all, yet she managed to build the Huo family into what it is today. Now you just tell people to get out and they can leave. What a show of power you have!"
Although Huo Jiaojiao's name sounds delicate, she is absolutely decisive and efficient. Over the years, she has spent most of her time abroad, but her status in the family has never changed.
Fang Lanxin's eyes reddened slightly: "Third Aunt."
“I know you’ve had a tough time and suffered some injustices over the years.”
"I've come back now to speak up for you!"
Huo Jiaojiao sighed and looked at Fang Lanxin with heartache.
As a woman, how could she not understand how difficult Fang Lanxin had been all these years?
Raising two children and running such a large business while constantly undermining and competing with her own family members must have been incredibly difficult.
But ironically, these people, basking in the benefits she brought, are still spitting on her.
Huo Jiaojiao couldn't stand by and watch this happen!
She slammed her hand on the table, her anger directed directly at her fourth uncle: "Fourth brother, say something! Weren't you just chattering away when you were talking to Alan? I had no idea you were so capable. Now you're in charge of the Huo family's genealogy. You can just say who comes and let them come, huh?"
How could Fourth Uncle dare to say anything?
He could only cast pleading glances at his second uncle.
Second Uncle originally intended to teach Fang Lanxin a lesson, but clearly, he has now become a dud, just staring blankly at Huo Jiaojiao without saying a word, awkwardly maintaining a smile.
snort!
Huo Jiaojiao knew that these two people had remained the same all these years. If they had been even slightly capable back then, the Huo Group wouldn't have needed to trouble Fang Lanxin.
"If you're incompetent, shut up!"
"Fok Kai-pong, as the head of the Fok family, what is your opinion on this matter?"
Huo Jiaojiao looked in the direction of Huo Qibang.
For Kenneth Fok, this was a true great-aunt in every way!
He lowered his head, like a quail: "I support my mother. She is already forty years old. She has given the best years of her life and all her hard work to the Huo family. Now, she wants to find someone to settle down with, and I have no objection."
"Hmph, at least you can speak like a human being."
"Alan, I support you too. Whoever you fall for is their honor. The Huo family will give you all the support they can!"
Huo Jiaojiao made the final decision, and that's how the matter was settled.
Now, Huo Zhenhong panicked: "It's not that we don't want our sister-in-law to remarry, but she can't be having affairs..."
"Pah! Others can say that, but you still have the nerve to say such things? If you didn't cheat on your wife, you would have gotten a divorce. I'll settle your score with you slowly!" Huo Jiaojiao interrupted Huo Zhenhong directly, looking at him coldly with an indescribable ferocity.
Huo Zhenhong had been afraid of this aunt he rarely saw since he was a child. Now, faced with Huo Jiaojiao's cold stare, Huo Zhenhong dared not say anything more and could only silently touch his nose: "So, we don't care about the reputation of our Huo family?"
"The Huo family has no shame of their own, yet they expect the Fang family to rely on them? I think you're really going downhill!"
Huo Jiaojiao looked at Huo Zhenhong with disdain and retorted without any mercy.
Fang Lanxin couldn't help but twitch her lips. After all these years, this aunt was still the same as before.
She was bullied a lot when she first married into the family. But after her husband passed away, their relationship became strangely good. She never expected that her aunt would stand by her side now.
"I get angry just seeing people like you!"
"Alan, come with me, I brought you something good!"
Huo Jiaojiao stood up, glanced at Fang Lanxin, and walked upstairs.
Fang Lanxin thought for a moment, then followed. As soon as she entered, she said, "Aunt, thank you for speaking up for me."
"I'm on the side of reason, not personal ties, but don't go too far. One minute you're talking about a movie star, the next a race car driver, and now you've dragged Guan Yu into this. Tell me, which one do you actually like?" Huo Jiaojiao crossed her arms and looked at Fang Lanxin curiously.
Fang Lanxin blushed deeply.
She was both amused and exasperated, then said, "Ah Chen is an artist in my company, and Ah Ye is a race car driver in a club I invested in. We have no connection whatsoever, Guan Er..."
Thinking about the argument the two of them had argued before...
Fang Lanxin sighed, lowered her eyes, and said softly, "We have nothing to do with each other anymore."
"What, did that brat bully you!"
"Hmph, I've known he's no good since I was a kid, and he's still the same after all these years. Tell me, has he made you suffer?"
Huo Jiaojiao's expression immediately changed, and she started cursing unhappily.
