Chapter 92 Think it over carefully
Fang Lanxin knew very well that Huo Zhenhong hadn't thought about what to do next when he came here this time.
However, she can give Huo Zhenhong a chance, and then she can think about the terms carefully after she goes back.
Huo Zhenhong stood up, staring intently at Fang Lanxin, his face terribly grim: "You woman, you really deserve to die!"
Damn it?
Fang Lanxin smiled slightly after hearing this, still sitting elegantly in her chair, looking at Huo Zhenhong coldly: "But you can't kill me."
"You just wait!"
"Fang Lanxin, just you wait!"
After saying that, Huo Zhenhong turned around and strode away.
Lin Meiling came downstairs with a fruit knife in her hand. She looked at Fang Lanxin nervously and said, choking back tears, "Mom, did he bully you?"
Seeing her trembling, Fang Lanxin was both amused and exasperated. She took the fruit knife from her hand and then sighed helplessly, "If he really wanted to do something to me, he wouldn't have come to our house, right?"
"Besides, what can you do with such a small fruit knife?"
"Isn't that stupid?"
Fang Lanxin took a tissue from the side and gently wiped Lin Meiling's cheeks.
Lin Meiling suddenly hugged Fang Lanxin: "I don't care! If he really dares to bully Mom, I'll fight him to the death!"
This sudden hug left Fang Lanxin completely stunned and frozen in place.
She looked at Lin Meiling in disbelief, never expecting that this daughter-in-law, whom she had always looked down upon, would treat her like this.
For some reason, Fang Lanxin felt a little guilty towards her daughter-in-law for the first time. She gently patted Lin Meiling's back and then said softly, "It's alright, it's alright now."
When Huo Qibang returned home that evening and learned of the matter, his face turned very grim. He looked at Fang Lanxin with some concern and then whispered, "Mother, what exactly are you planning to do about this?"
“I have no plans. Now I’ll see what Huo Zhenhong has to say.” Fang Lanxin smiled gently and looked at Huo Qibang: “I have something to tell you.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Qibang sat up straight nervously: "Mom, please tell me."
“Lin Meiling’s parents are getting on in years. The Huo family mansion is such a big place, let’s bring them here to live out their retirement.” Fang Lanxin looked at Huo Qibang very seriously.
What?
Huo Qibang could hardly believe his ears. He never expected that Fang Lanxin would be willing to accept Lin Meiling's parents.
"Mom, why?"
"You clearly didn't like my in-laws before, so why are you willing to let them take care of you in your old age now?"
Kenneth Fok felt that something was amiss.
Seeing Huo Qibang's clueless expression, Fang Lanxin rolled her eyes at him, took Lin Meiling's hand, and said gently, "Don't listen to this brat's nonsense. It's not that I didn't like your parents before, but I felt that they were still young at that time, so they should make a living on their own. But now it's different. They are getting older and should have their children by their side. You are an only child, so why don't you bring them over?"
Huo Qibang belatedly realized that he really shouldn't have said those things in front of Lin Meiling.
Lin Meiling was initially very touched, but after hearing Huo Qibang's words, she felt somewhat awkward.
She stared at Fang Lanxin, unable to tell whether Fang Lanxin was sincere or not.
Seeing this, Fang Lanxin smiled and then said, "Now I have reason to suspect that this kid relayed the message wrongly before, otherwise how come I only found out now that he has such a good daughter-in-law?"
“Mom, that’s what I thought too. Before, Abang kept saying that you hated me and didn’t like me, so I… I…” Lin Meiling realized this too late.
Then, both of them turned their eyes to look at Huo Qibang.
"When did I say I hate Meiling or don't like Meiling?" Fang Lanxin frowned and looked at Huo Qibang with dissatisfaction.
Huo Qibang felt a pang of guilt, touched his nose, and grinned sheepishly.
Although Fang Lanxin was not very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, she had always treated her well and given her what she deserved, but she rarely showed her any kindness.
However, Fang Lanxin never said she disliked or hated those three words.
Lin Meiling seemed to have thought of something as well, her eyebrows furrowed as she looked at Huo Qibang: "So when did I ever say that my mother was picky, difficult, or disrespectful?"
She was clearly feeling wronged and was just being affectionate with Huo Qibang.
Huo Qibang felt even more guilty now, his eyes lowered, not daring to look at the two of them.
You brat!
Fang Lanxin immediately understood where the problem lay in her poor relationship with her daughter-in-law!
Her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she glared at Huo Qibang through gritted teeth, saying irritably, "Oh, you really know how to talk! How come I didn't know you had glycerin on your lips before!"
"Mother, I never said you were mean!"
"I never said I hated you!"
The two women locked eyes and finally united against a common enemy, revealing that it was Huo Qibang who had been the one causing trouble all along!
At this point, Huo Qibang couldn't sit still any longer: "No, I didn't, I just... I just thought you all hated each other!"
Even at this point, you still show no remorse!
"Meiling, I'm afraid the Huo family mansion can't accommodate us. Why don't you come with me to the villa on the hillside?" Fang Lanxin stood up, looked at Tianle playing with building blocks on the sofa, and said with a smile, "Tianle should come along too!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Qibang became genuinely anxious. He was already overwhelmed with problems when his mother wasn't home; if his wife and children were to leave as well, it would be like the sky falling down.
He hurriedly blocked their path and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean it that way, please forgive me?"
"Then what do you mean?" Fang Lanxin crossed her arms and looked at Huo Qibang with dissatisfaction. "I'm working like a dog outside, and you're ruining my life at home? What exactly do you mean by this?!"
“I gave birth to your children, raised them, and took care of all these things at home, yet you spoke to me like that in front of your mother, Abang, what do you mean by that?” Lin Meiling remained gentle and soft-spoken, but she was also very insistent on getting an explanation.
Previously, Huo Qibang thought his mother was already difficult to deal with, but he never expected that his gentle wife could be so difficult when she got angry. Moreover, he didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he even felt that Lin Meiling was now vaguely resembling Fang Lanxin.
