Chapter 166 Speculation
This situation was to be expected, so Fang Lanxin wasn't surprised. She just looked at Huo Qibang with some curiosity: "You've been talking about other people's thoughts for so long, so what about you? What do you think?"
"No matter what, we absolutely cannot let it affect the company."
Kenneth Fok's attitude was very firm.
Yes, this is the real Kenneth Fok. This kid is inherently selfish. He'll do anything as long as his interests aren't threatened, but once his interests are touched, he'll immediately change his tune.
"Have you thought of a way that won't affect the company?"
Fang Lanxin withdrew her gaze and calmly sat down on the sofa nearby.
It was precisely because he couldn't think of such a solution that Fok Kai-pong felt extremely overwhelmed.
He sat down opposite Fang Lanxin and began to mutter to himself, "I really don't understand what's going on. They've been like this for over twenty years, so why did Fourth Aunt suddenly change her attitude?"
Fang Lanxin was not at all surprised that the child would say such a thing. After all, he was the kind of person who would kill his own mother for his own benefit.
However, Fang Lanxin still looked at Huo Qibang and said calmly, "You are different now than before. You are the head of the Huo family. You must handle this matter properly. If you don't handle it well, it will be a disaster. Huang Ying is absolutely like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. Don't you understand?"
"You mean to say that Fourth Aunt is very likely to go all out?" Huo Qibang finally realized the seriousness of the matter at this moment, and that he had underestimated it before.
Fang Lanxin nodded, then said calmly, "If such a thing really happens one day, it would be a disaster for the Huo family, so don't push your luck."
"Divorce is definitely possible, but you can give Huang Ying a sum of money as hush money. If the divorce is not made public, it won't be considered a scandal. No matter how much people speculate, it's just speculation."
"After the divorce, send them abroad immediately. That way, they'll be far away from the emperor and no one will be watching them. Tell everyone that Huo Xianxian is going abroad for further studies and Huang Ying is accompanying her."
Fang Lanxin had already thought about how to handle this matter.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qibang felt a sudden sense of enlightenment.
He immediately nodded: "Okay, good idea, but I don't know if Fourth Aunt will agree."
“You need to think more carefully about what you do in the future. Huang Ying’s fundamental need is not divorce, but to get away from domestic violence and a life of being controlled. So the path we’re taking for her is the best path. Do you understand this time?” Fang Lanxin rubbed her temples.
Even though Huo Qibang is now a father, he is still quite naive. After these incidents, Fang Lanxin finally understood that in her previous life, she had always stood in front of her children, which may not have been a good thing for them.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qibang lowered his head in shame. He had thought he was capable enough to handle things on his own, but he never expected that after the incident, the person who would ultimately deal with it was his mother.
For some reason, Kenneth Fok didn't feel ashamed at all this time; he even felt a sense of security, as if someone was supporting him.
"Mom, you're amazing! You came up with such a solution." Huo Qibang looked at Fang Lanxin with a smile.
Fang Lanxin waved her hand dismissively and said calmly, "It's mainly because this matter will also affect me, so I have to help you deal with it."
"From now on, you will be responsible for handling all matters concerning the Huo Group and the Huo family, understand?"
After saying that, Fang Lanxin stood up and strode outside.
It's as if the tenderness and intimacy we just experienced were all just illusions.
However, Huo Qibang had already gotten used to Fang Lanxin's behavior, and for a moment, he was not even moved, only letting out a helpless sigh.
"It seems that Mom really doesn't plan to take care of me anymore!"
Lin Meiling glanced at Huo Qibang, then said directly, "Actually, I think that your mother not caring about you might not be a bad thing, right? You don't like your mother's control over you, do you? Now that you're free to fly, it's a good thing!"
"Besides, people are meant to be independent when they grow up. Do you want to be a mother's child your whole life?"
Lin Meiling knew Huo Qibang best, so she naturally knew what to say to make him feel better.
Huo Qibang nestled into Lin Meiling's arms, saying, "Wife, you're still the best."
Fang Lanxin didn't go straight home; instead, she went to the hospital. This time, she used it as leverage in negotiations when she went to see Huo Zhenhong.
Upon entering the ward, Fang Lanxin immediately understood the relationship between Huo Zhenhong and a young, beautiful girl sitting next to him.
Sure enough, Huo Zhenhong was startled to see Fang Lanxin return. His eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he asked unhappily, "You, why are you back?"
"I'm not here to pry into your romantic affairs, but what I'm about to tell you involves family secrets. Are you sure this person can be here?" Fang Lanxin casually sat in the chair, looking at Huo Zhenhong with a half-smile.
Over the years, men have had their share of affairs, so Fang Lanxin wasn't surprised. But this was the first time someone had actually come to her home like this.
The woman glanced at Fang Lanxin, then stood up very sensibly, picked up the thermos from the ground, and said, "You two can continue chatting. I'll go get some water first."
After saying that, she really turned around and left. It seems that this woman is quite shrewd, or at least very sensible and perceptive. It's a pity she has no shame.
"What else do you want to say to me?"
Huo Zhenhong looked at Fang Lanxin with displeasure.
The thought that his family would be destroyed because of this woman made his head buzz.
“I’ve discussed it with Abang. Your marriage is definitely over, but we can keep it a secret. We’ll send them abroad immediately. It won’t have much of an impact on your reputation or the Huo family’s reputation.”
Fang Lanxin got straight to the point.
But Huo Zhenhong clearly wasn't buying it: "Why should I agree to a divorce?"
"Since you have no other choice now, you are a member of the fourth branch of the Huo family, a member of the Huo family, but Huang Ying, she has nothing to lose. At this moment, you are the weaker party, aren't you?" Fang Lanxin smiled and looked at him: "When an honest man goes crazy, can you handle him?"
Although Huo Zhenhong was unwilling to admit it, the throbbing wound on his head forced him to acknowledge that Huang Ying had gone mad.
