Chapter 211 Misunderstanding
Huo Qibang is really having a headache right now. He was originally discussing financing with Huo Zhenhong and asking for his cooperation.
Before things could be explained clearly, Huo Siya came to cause trouble.
If Huo Zhenhong hears this, who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause.
Thinking of this, Huo Qibang felt a surge of irritation. He slammed his hand on the table and looked at Huo Siya impatiently: "What nonsense are you spouting? You and I both know what kind of person Mother is. How can you say such things about her!"
"I..." Huo Siya subconsciously wanted to argue, but when she met Huo Qibang's cold gaze, she lowered her head and said softly, "I... I just want Mom to come to my press conference. Brother, please ask Mom for me, okay?"
Huo Zhenhong could see through the two children's intentions at a glance. He smiled coldly, stood up and looked at Huo Qibang: "Nephew, the reputation of our Huo family is more important than anything else. Your mother is not worthy of being a daughter-in-law of our Huo family because of what she did. I will go back and discuss this matter with the elders in the family!"
After saying this, Huo Zhenhong didn't give Huo Qibang a chance to reply. He strode outside, barely able to suppress the smile on his lips.
Snap!
Huo Qibang finally lost his temper and slapped Huo Siya hard across the face.
He stared at Huo Siya with a face full of anger and disappointment: "How could I have such a stupid sister like you? Do you know what the consequences will be after you said those words? Do you know how much trouble you have caused me?!"
Huo Siya's face stung with pain. She looked at Huo Qibang in disbelief, unable to understand why her brother, who had always doted on her, would turn out like this. He actually hit her!
This...this is simply unbelievable!
Huo Siya's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes were slightly red when she looked at Huo Qibang: "In the end, you look down on me just like everyone else. You also think I'm a tattered rag that's been squeezed dry by men at the bottom of society, don't you! You! Mother, you all look down on me, don't you!"
"yes!"
"I looked down on you. I didn't want you to marry him, but you wouldn't listen!"
"Later, I told you not to go back to China, but you wouldn't listen."
"I'm telling you to behave now, but you still won't listen!"
"Huo Siya, are you brainless or just too smart to use it? Do you know that your presence will cause trouble for everyone? Why do I have such a terrible sister like you!"
All the pressure and frustration that Huo Qibang had been under these past few days was now being vented on Huo Siya!
Seeing the two of them arguing, Huo Wen hurriedly called Fang Lanxin. In the past, when the siblings quarreled, Fang Lanxin would always mediate. This time, however, Fang Lanxin simply hung up the phone and ignored the matter.
She knew that both of them were inherently selfish, so when they faced each other directly, a conflict was bound to erupt.
However, Fang Lanxin felt that the children had grown up, and if they couldn't handle the relationship between the siblings properly, then there would only be more and more trouble in the future.
Huo Siya is a simple-minded person with a terrible temper. When she couldn't argue with Huo Qibang, she started to go crazy in his office, smashing everything in sight. She almost threw everything in the office at Huo Qibang, and it took four security guards to finally control her.
This incident may seem like just a sibling quarrel, but its impact has been extremely negative, especially since it occurred at a crucial juncture in the company's fundraising efforts. As a result, the entire Huo Group is discussing this matter, causing quite a stir.
After hearing Huo Zhenhong's words, the old mansion hated Fang Lanxin even more, so he simply called Fang Lanxin's whole family and asked them to come to the old mansion for dinner that night.
The family arrived at the old house on time. Seeing Huo Qibang's disheveled appearance and the bruises on his face, Fang Lanxin shook her head helplessly.
She knew that if things really escalated, Huo Qibang would definitely not get any benefit from his sister.
For some reason, seeing Huo Qibang like this now, Fang Lanxin felt a secret sense of pleasure, as if she had finally gotten her revenge.
However, Fang Lanxin kept her thoughts to herself and simply smiled faintly as she greeted her elders at home: "Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle."
"I dare not accept such praise!"
Fourth Uncle spoke first, looking coldly at Fang Lanxin.
Previously, the second and fourth wives were already very dissatisfied with Fang Lanxin because of the repossession of her shares. Now that they finally have an opportunity to deal with Fang Lanxin, they will naturally not let this opportunity pass easily.
The second wife, in particular, suffered the most severe losses.
The second wife also looked at Fang Lanxin with disdain: "We, the Huo family, dare not keep someone like you who disgraces our family. From now on, you have nothing to do with our Huo family. We will also publish a notice to inform you, so that you won't embarrass our Huo family outside!"
"That's right. When your husband passed away, we told you to leave and that we would raise the children. But you couldn't bear to give up the Huo family's wealth and honor and kept the two children in your hands. Now you've done something like this. Don't you have any shame?" Fourth Uncle also began to slut-shame Fang Lanxin.
Fang Lanxin understood the source of such malice almost immediately. She ignored the two old men's barking and simply tilted her head to look at Huo Siya.
It was just a faint glance, but in an instant, Huo Siya felt as if all the blood in her body had turned to ice.
She didn't dare to look Fang Lanxin in the eye, so she could only lower her head silently. For the first time, she felt guilty. She never thought that her casual remark would cause Fang Lanxin to be slandered like this.
"I have no objection."
Seeing her evasive manner, Fang Lanxin knew in her heart that she probably wouldn't get an apology. She withdrew her gaze, looked directly at the two old men, and spoke calmly.
Even the two old men were dumbfounded, staring at Fang Lanxin in disbelief, unable to believe what they had just heard.
"Mom, what are you saying!"
"You are my mother, how can you completely sever ties with the Huo family?"
Huo Qibang grew anxious, walked over, grabbed Fang Lanxin's wrist, and squeezed it hard, trying to calm her down.
Fang Lanxin was very calm now, and she silently withdrew her hand.
"My husband has been gone for twenty years. In these twenty years, I have a clear conscience. Now that my children have grown up, I should have my own life. I should also get rid of the title of Mrs. Huo and be myself. I am Fang Lanxin."
