Chapter 29 Threat
Kenneth Fok hung his head, clenched his fists, and walked out.
After stepping outside, Huo Qibang saw Ling Ye standing not far from the door, wiping his car. The last time they met was in the newspaper.
Huo Qibang stepped forward with his eyebrows furrowed, looked coldly at Ling Ye, and said, "Stay away from my mother from now on."
"Who are you?" Ling Ye raised an eyebrow and looked at Huo Qibang with displeasure.
Kenneth Fok scoffed, "I am my mother's son, I am Kenneth Fok!"
"So what? You're her son, not her father. What right do you have to tell her who's around her?"
"I think you and your sister are the same, both ingrates. When you run into trouble outside, you come back and make things difficult for your old mother. You're both shameless!"
Ling Ye was young and impetuous, and he didn't take Huo Qibang seriously at all. He was usually harsh in his speech, but he was particularly sarcastic today.
For some reason, whenever Ling Ye saw Fang Lanxin being wronged, or whenever he saw someone making Fang Lanxin unhappy, he would become even more unhappy and his words would become even harsher.
"How dare you! Who do you think you are to speak to me like that!"
"Believe it or not, I'll fire you and make sure you can't survive in Hong Kong."
Huo Qibang's expression changed. He gritted his teeth and stared at Ling Ye, his eyes filled with threat.
"Who is it that can't live without their mother?"
"I rely on myself for everything, I can't compare to you, do whatever you want!"
After saying this, Ling Ye spat out a curse, then turned around and continued wiping the car.
"You! You little brat, how dare you talk to me like that!"
"Bearded Man, shoot him right now!"
Huo Qibang was genuinely enraged, and gave the order with a gloomy expression.
Hu Zi felt a headache coming on and sighed helplessly. Then he tugged at Huo Qibang's sleeve, whispered in his ear, "This person was brought back by Madam."
The implication is that Huo Qibang had no right to dismiss Ling Ye.
Huo Qibang choked for a moment, and his gaze toward Ling Ye became even more disgusted before he strode toward his car.
Fang Lanxin stood on the second floor and could see clearly that this was the first time since her husband left that someone had stood in front of her, regardless of right or wrong, to protect her and speak up for her.
The year Fang Lanxin took over the Huo family at the age of nineteen, she was completely alone, both in front of and behind her.
At that time, Fang Lanxin thought that she would raise her two children with all her heart and soul, and that they would be filial to her. She could then retire gracefully. However, she never expected that all her years of hard work would end up with a bowl of deadly poison.
Every time Fang Lanxin thought of this place, the smell of that poison would come to mind.
Her eyes reddened as she walked toward the wine cellar. In her previous life, Fang Lanxin rarely drank alcohol because she had to ensure she was always sober, as every decision she made was crucial.
But now, after being reborn, Fang Lanxin suddenly realized that wine really is a good thing.
She curled up on the sofa in the wine cellar, drinking glass after glass of top-quality red wine.
In her previous life, Fang Lanxin devoted herself entirely to her two children, leaving no time for herself to enjoy life. Now, Fang Lanxin realizes that she has missed out on so much.
"Madam, why are you drinking again?"
Ling Ye searched the villa but couldn't find Fang Lanxin. Then, he realized that she must have come to the wine cellar.
After entering the room, it squatted down in front of Fang Lanxin, its fluffy head like a big dog, and rubbed against Fang Lanxin's hand.
Fang Lanxin liked the fuzzy texture, so she rubbed it a couple more times before handing him the wine glass: "I'm not drinking anymore, you drink it?"
Ling Ye knelt on the ground and, following Fang Lanxin's hand, drank the red wine in the wine glass.
The smooth red wine flowed down his throat, staining Ling Ye's cheeks red.
"Madam, fine wine."
Fang Lanxin's eyes were a little dazed. She reached out and touched Ling Ye's lips, smiling as she said, "Little brother, can you tell the difference between good and bad?"
“Everything Madam gives you is good.” Ling Ye suddenly grabbed Fang Lanxin’s hand and placed it on his cheek, gently rubbing it.
Fang Lanxin let him act recklessly without scolding him, and simply freed one hand to continue drinking.
After finishing a bottle of red wine, Fang Lanxin felt dizzy and soon fell asleep.
Ling Ye remained kneeling on the ground, carefully tracing Fang Lanxin's features with his eyes.
He discovered that although Fang Lanxin was getting on in years, she was very well-maintained. When she was sober during the day, she was always noble and elegant, but when she was alone in the wine cellar drinking, she was full of a broken feeling.
For some reason, Lingye always felt that the lady beneath this halo was hiding countless sad things in her heart.
He actually felt a vague sense of pity for Fang Lanxin.
He gently took the wine glass from her hand, placed it aside, picked her up horizontally, and walked outside.
Ling Ye carefully placed Fang Lanxin on the bed, called a maid to help her sleep, and then turned around and walked outside. He drove for Fang Lanxin during the day, and at night he had to go back to his old job, driving his motorcycle out to work hard.
A person like him will starve to death if he doesn't make money, so he has no choice but to work desperately.
The next day, early morning.
When Fang Lanxin opened her eyes, she rubbed her temples, then got up, picked up the newspaper next to her, glanced at it, and her face turned gloomy.
The newspapers say that there are quality problems at Fok Kai-pong's factory, and now the workers are rushing to expose the issues. Reporters have also surrounded the factory, demanding an explanation from Fok Kai-pong.
Fang Lanxin's face darkened. She hurriedly went downstairs, turned on the TV, and sure enough, it was broadcasting the news live.
Huo Qibang was surrounded by a group of media and had no chance to speak. As soon as he opened his mouth, a microphone would be shoved into it.
"Beard, call Huo Fu right now and tell him to come over immediately."
Fang Lanxin turned off the TV, gave an order, and then picked up the report on the table and looked at it carefully.
Although Huo Qibang was an ingrate in his past life, Fang Lanxin still had great confidence in his business acumen. She knew that this boy would never be greedy for small gains and suffer big losses. Moreover, given the Huo family's strength, there was absolutely no need for any shortcuts. There must be something fishy about this matter.
Soon, Horford arrived without stopping and recounted the whole story.
"Young Master had everything prepared, but for some reason, two key data points were suddenly lost, and the raw materials were also switched. Now the evidence is irrefutable!"
