Chapter 11 They're Really Getting Anxious
Huo Zhenxiong had considered many possibilities, and even prepared to cede territory and pay reparations, but he never expected that Fang Lanxin would deny everything and refuse to acknowledge the matter at all? She even pretended to be stupid in front of him!
His face grew even more somber, but since he needed someone's help, he could only force a smile.
"Sister-in-law, Qiang is really innocent. This is just a misunderstanding."
"Our Huo family is one family, and the second branch is also a member of the Huo family!"
Huo Zhenxiong spoke again, this time, he was truly anxious.
hehe.
Fang Lanxin felt as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world when she heard these words.
So, he also knew about sharing honor and disgrace?
"It's not easy for you, Second Master Huo. You know, our Huo family is a unified whole."
"Then what about your planting spies in my main branch to harm my grandson?"
If it were her previous life, Fang Lanxin would never have spoken so bluntly and directly, but now, she no longer wanted to beat around the bush with these fools.
"For a small shipping business, they would poison the Huo family's bloodline."
"I didn't even bother to come looking for you, and you still dare to come knocking on my door?"
Fang Lanxin remained elegantly seated on the sofa, but her eyes sharpened, her speech quickened, and her entire aura was overwhelming, causing Huo Zhenxiong's legs to buckle and he to kneel on the ground.
"Sister-in-law, it's all my fault, please don't implicate Ah-Qiang."
"I accept the punishment, however you punish me."
Huo Zhenxiong knelt on the ground, pleading desperately.
Even before the incident, Fok Chun-hung had gone to the police station. After asking around several times, he realized that he had no way to get them out of trouble.
Left with no other choice, Huo Zhenxiong had to ask Fang Lanxin for help.
"Hand over all your shipping businesses, and I'll spare your son's life." Fang Lanxin looked coldly at Huo Zhenxiong.
Feelings are all nonsense; only tangible benefits matter.
The two sides of the Taiwan Strait are about to open a trade route, and the profits from shipping will only increase in the future. However, the second branch of the Huo family does not understand the rules of business and has already started smuggling!
"Sister-in-law!"
Huo Zhenxiong knelt on the ground, looking at Fang Lanxin in disbelief. He never expected that she would actually do something so ruthless.
"This shipping business is the foundation of our second branch of the family. Are you trying to force our second branch to its death?" Huo Zhenxiong gritted his teeth, his words full of threat.
Fang Lanxin completely lost her patience. She had originally intended to save face for the second branch of the Huo family, but she never expected that this person would be so shameless.
He casually picked up a teacup from the side and smashed it directly at Huo Zhenxiong's face.
"You bastard!"
"How dare you say you're a member of the Huo family!"
"The Huo family has always been honest business owners, but you're using the empire the Huo family built for smuggling. Are you trying to ruin the Huo family?"
If Huo Zhenxiong were to leave the Huo family, Fang Lanxin would not care even if he were to die.
However, Fok Chun-hung still claims to be a member of the Fok family and is using the Fok family's name to engage in smuggling, which is simply dragging the entire Fok family down with him!
If nothing goes wrong with the smuggling business, fine. But if something does happen, even out of consideration for their shared clan, Fang Lanxin wouldn't stand idly by. Huo Zhenxiong had actually planned to take their branch of the family into his scheme from the very beginning.
He knew that Fang Lanxin was not combative, so he thought of sowing discord among them and making them fight each other, so that he could be at ease and reap the benefits!
The thought of how disgusting and insidious this person's schemes were made Fang Lanxin furious.
"Now you have two paths. The choice is yours: the business or your son. It's up to you!"
"Ah Fu, see the guests out!"
Fang Lanxin's last bit of patience was exhausted, and she didn't want to waste her precious time on these rotten people and rotten things.
Huo Fu stepped forward and respectfully helped Huo Zhenxiong up from the ground, then asked him to leave.
"Fang Lanxin, how cruel you are! Just you wait!"
Huo Zhenxiong clenched his fists, glared fiercely at Fang Lanxin, and then turned to leave. However, he didn't expect to bump into Ling Ye, who was following him, as he went out the door!
"You little brat, you're asking for death!"
Huo Zhenxiong was seething with anger, and he vented it all on Ling Ye.
Ling Ye has always been associated with the word "rebellious".
He's naturally unrestrained and doesn't care about the other person's identity; if he's unhappy, he'll just vent his anger.
"You son of a bitch!"
"You can't see a grown man standing right here? You just kept running into him, are you in such a hurry to be reborn?!"
Once Ling Ye opened his mouth, he launched into a tirade, showing no respect for Huo Zhenxiong whatsoever.
Fang Lanxin sat on the sofa, watching Ling Ye run wild in her home, and a hint of envy even flashed in her eyes.
She genuinely envied Ling Ye, a man with no manners, for being able to live such a simple and happy life.
However, Fang Lanxin was well-mannered from a young age, and she would never do such a thing.
"You! You little devil, you're asking for death!"
"Huo Zhenxiong!"
Fang Lanxin let out a low growl.
Huo Zhenxiong, who had been raising his fist, suddenly dropped it. Gritting his teeth, he shoved Ling Ye aside and strode away.
“You said I’d work as your driver for a month to pay off my debt.”
Ling Ye walked over and stood in front of Fang Lanxin. He was a man whose name reflected his personality; he was wild and untamed. Even though he was just standing there quietly, the unruliness in his eyes was still evident.
Seeing him like this, Fang Lanxin even felt that her own heart had become much younger.
"Yes, one month, available whenever needed."
Fang Lanxin responded and looked him up and down.
"Change your clothes."
Ling Ye looked at his clothes: a floral shirt, a leather jacket, flared pants, and sunglasses—essential items for a modern trendy man!
"What do you know? This is called trendy!"
"You're the one who's pretending to be virtuous."
As soon as Huo Fu turned around, he heard such treasonous words. His expression immediately changed, and he quickly walked over and reprimanded him.
"How dare you speak to Madam like that!"
Ling Ye instinctively wanted to retort, but realizing he was in the wrong, he touched his nose and snorted, "rigid."
"Afu, arrange a room for Mr. Lingye. He's staying at the Huo family's house this month."
Fang Lanxin got up and walked upstairs, casually uttering those words.
What?
Huo Fu stared in disbelief at Fang Lanxin's retreating figure, then looked Ling Ye up and down, utterly bewildered as to how such a filthy creature could live in the Huo family.
However, given Fang Lanxin's orders, Huo Fu could only reluctantly lead him to the room on the first floor, muttering rules under his breath.
"The Huo family has rules. You are not allowed to run around freely in the future, and you must not talk back to Madam. The clothes you are wearing are too frivolous. You must wear work clothes during work hours!"
