Chapter 151 Ambitious
Huo Zhenhong never expected that this kid, who used to be so obedient to him, would suddenly become such a different person.
He really didn't understand what had happened to the Huo family. Why was Huo Qibang, who used to get angry whenever Fang Lanxin was mentioned, now so protective of her?
The relationship between these two people was like fire and water, how did it suddenly become like this?
Seeing Huo Zhenhong's expression, Huo Qibang snorted disdainfully and began to silently despise his past self. After all, at that time, he even thought that Huo Zhenhong was right and doubted his own mother!
Before, Huo Qibang didn't quite understand why his mother was so distant from him, but now that he thinks about it, he suddenly realizes that he hadn't stood firmly by his mother's side in all the things that had happened, which is why he had hurt her.
"Fourth Uncle, I know you've never really liked my mother, but she didn't start her business with the Huo family's money, and she doesn't need the Huo family's resources in the fishing village, so I won't allow you to talk about her like that!"
“My mother started working for the Huo family when she was nineteen. Over the years, she has worked hard, if not made great contributions. If it weren’t for the prosperity of the Huo family’s main branch, there wouldn’t be your fourth branch, would there be?”
Huo Qibang looked at Huo Zhenhong very seriously. During this period, Huo Qibang had been busy with reform and innovation. Now the company was finally on the right track and he was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when unexpected problems arose within the Huo family.
Sometimes, Kenneth Fok really can't imagine how his mother managed to do all that back then.
How could she support the company's operation, manage the entire Huo family, and even take care of him and his sister as they grew up? His mother was simply a great hero, incredibly capable.
"That sounds nice!"
"For so many years, she has controlled the Huo family. Do you know how much money and resources have been lost to her?"
“Abang, you are still too young. Don’t forget, your mother is not old anymore. If she really has a child born to the Guan family, what will happen to her in the future?”
Huo Zhenhong was genuinely anxious, not for Huo Qibang this time, but for himself.
The assets of the fourth branch have been shrinking over the years, especially this year. At the beginning, an entertainment company was seized, and now even the warehouse at the dock cannot be kept. If this continues, they will lose even the most basic dignity. How can he not be anxious?
Now that he sees Kenneth Fok becoming increasingly out of his control, he's furious.
“Alright, let’s go to the old house and talk this over. I want to make this clear in front of all the elders of the Huo family.”
"Fourth Uncle, you must remember, whatever the outcome, it was you who asked for it!"
After saying that, Huo Qibang turned around and strode outside.
Watching Huo Qibang's retreating figure, Huo Zhenhong felt as if something was amiss, but he still gritted his teeth and followed.
Soon, Huo Qibang arrived at the Huo family home, took out the reports, and began to do the accounting. As he spoke, his temper flared up, and with tears welling up in his eyes, he began to pour out all of Fang Lanxin's grievances over the years, clearly explaining her sacrifices.
Lin Meiling brought this news with her child.
Fang Lanxin was stunned when she saw the two children appear in front of her. She looked at Lin Meiling in disbelief, then at the bouncy Tianle. She hurriedly went forward, picked up the child, and looked at Lin Meiling with some reproach: "You didn't even call ahead to come over. I would have driven to pick you up."
"Mom, I missed you." Lin Meiling looked at Fang Lanxin earnestly, then took out a thermal lunchbox: "Mom, I know you love our steamed pork ribs the most, so I brought them for you. I don't know if they're cold, but would you like to try them?"
Fang Lanxin looked at the steamed pork ribs, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and her heart ached. She hadn't been particularly nice to Lin Meiling before, and this was only the first time she had given her a few days of kindness. She never expected that Lin Meiling would treat her so sincerely, and she felt guilty.
"Okay, I'm hungry too, let's eat together."
"Grandma, I miss you too!"
Suddenly, Tianle wrapped his arms around Fang Lanxin's neck and kissed her hard.
"Grandma, when are you coming home? Dad misses you too." Tianle looked at Fang Lanxin with a wronged expression: "Dad and Great-Grandpa had a fight, and he cried!"
Lin Meiling vividly recounted to Fang Lanxin the story of Huo Qibang's battle with the Huo family elders that day.
Fang Lanxin couldn't help but smile and say, "This child has really grown up."
“Mom, actually, Abang has always missed you.”
“He hugged me and cried that day, saying he was sorry for what he did before, that it was all his fault for not standing by my side. Mom, can you forgive him?”
Lin Meiling looked at Fang Lanxin longingly and sighed.
“Mom, I know you started this business here because you were heartbroken. Hong Kong is such a big and wonderful place, what kind of business can’t you start here?”
"But Abang... he really knows he was wrong."
Fang Lanxin ate the steamed pork ribs one bite at a time. Although they were a little cold, they were still very delicious.
After hearing these words, she said calmly, "He should be the one apologizing. What does it mean for you to apologize?"
“He is my son, and that relationship will never change. I’m not angry or resentful. I just want to do some things I enjoy while I’m still relatively young, that’s all.” Fang Lanxin directly expressed her innermost thoughts.
Seeing Fang Lanxin's expression, Lin Meiling immediately understood what she meant: "Mom, since you put it that way, I won't say anything more. I brought the child here and wanted to have some fun at the beach. I wonder if that's too much of a disturbance?"
“I don’t have much else here, but I do have a long coastline. Go ahead and have fun if you want, but the conditions aren’t as good as in Hong Kong. I’m afraid it will be tough on you and the child.” Fang Lanxin patted Tianle’s little head with some concern.
Adults can do whatever they want, but children are still young and should be taken good care of.
"Wherever Grandma is, Tianle will be there, and Tianle won't feel tired!"
"Grandma, Tianle wants to be with you!"
Tianle looked at Fang Lanxin very seriously, her eyes full of dependence.
They didn't see each other often, but Tianle liked Fang Lanxin. He was happy whenever he saw Fang Lanxin and didn't want to leave her.
