Chapter 73 Sophistry
Huo Zhenhong originally thought Fang Lanxin would be shy, but he never expected her to be so self-righteous.
The Huo family is a large family. Although Mr. Huo is no longer here, the Huo family rules still apply and the other members of the Huo family are still here. When Huo Zhenhong looked at Fang Lanxin, his face turned very ugly.
"Sister-in-law, you should know that the Huo family would never allow you to use the Huo family's assets to support other men!"
Huo Zhenhong stared at Fang Lanxin with a gloomy expression.
"I told you, you have no right to tell me what to do."
"Your entertainment company is a complete mess, with everyone in cahoots, officials and businessmen colluding, corrupting cadres—do you think I didn't know?"
"Huo Zhenhong, when it comes to disgracing the family, you are the number one in the Huo family!"
Fang Lanxin knew about these messy things in her previous life, but because they were all of the Huo family bloodline, she always turned a blind eye. In fact, in her previous life, she even secretly cleaned up the mess when this person did something inconsiderate.
But how did he repay the favor?
This Huo Zhenhong may seem honest and unassuming, but he's actually a cunning and treacherous person. He's like a venomous snake lurking in the grass, ready to bite you without you having a chance to complain.
"Fang Lanxin, what did you say!"
Huo Zhenhong never expected that Fang Lanxin would find out about his affairs. Enraged, he stood up and stared intently at Fang Lanxin: "Do you know that by slandering me like this, I can sue you at the old mansion!"
"You can give it a try."
Fang Lanxin smiled and looked at Huo Zhenhong.
“You say I want to remarry, but you have no evidence. What I’m saying, I have solid evidence.”
"I'll see then whether someone like you, who has disgraced the family, will suffer a miserable end, or someone like me, who has a legitimate need, will suffer a worse end."
"roll!"
Fang Lanxin was not polite at all and made her point very clear.
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhenhong was completely dumbfounded.
"Legitimate needs? You're using the Huo family's money to support a gigolo. How can you face my elder brother?"
"It's a disgrace to the Huo family to have a woman like you!"
Huo Zhenhong launched his attack immediately, after all, in his view, the cruelest thing to do to a woman was to slut-shame.
If it were her previous life, Fang Lanxin would definitely be very sad, but now, Fang Lanxin doesn't care about this nonsense at all.
What chastity? What reputation? They're just things used to bind women, and she insists on tearing these bullshit things to shreds and trampling them underfoot.
"If it weren't for a woman like me, the Huo family would have fallen apart twenty years ago. I took over the Huo family at the age of nineteen, and for the past twenty years I have devoted myself wholeheartedly to it. I have a clear conscience!"
"Huo Zhenhong, don't forget why you've been able to establish yourself in the entertainment industry—because your surname is Huo!"
Fang Lanxin finally tore off the last veil of pretense.
She stared coldly at Huo Zhenhong, as if he were a dead man, her eyes filled with disgust and contempt.
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhenhong finally lost his temper and slapped him hard across the face!
Fang Lanxin was already on guard. After dodging, she grabbed the ashtray on the table and smashed it hard on Huo Zhenhong's head.
"How dare you lay a hand on your elder sister-in-law! It seems you really should learn some manners!"
Fang Lanxin's hands were stained with Huo Zhenhong's blood, but she didn't care. She simply took a handkerchief and elegantly wiped her fingers.
"roll!"
After saying that, Fang Lanxin walked right past him and strode upstairs.
She had been in a bad mood, but now she felt much better. After lying down, Fang Lanxin fell into a deep sleep.
Fang Lanxin!
Huo Zhenhong clenched his fists, and then blood flowed down his forehead, dripping onto the ground, making him look disheveled and shocking.
The Huo family's old residence.
The Huo family members don't live very long. The oldest patriarch now is Mr. Huo's uncle, who is also considered the head of the Huo family.
Huo Zhenhong immediately reported the matter to the Huo family patriarch, who then made three phone calls and urgently convened a family meeting.
Even though Fang Lanxin was unwilling, she had no choice but to come over. She sat in the top seat, which was an honor for the head of the Huo family, but Fang Lanxin was no longer the head of the family.
Seeing all the male members of the Huo family gathered here, she knew that this matter was probably not so simple.
Huo Zhenhong's forehead was still wrapped in thick gauze, and he slammed all the evidence he had collected over the past few days onto the table.
"Sister-in-law, shouldn't you explain yourself? You're entangled with three men at the same time. How can you face my brother?"
"The other two are one thing, but the Guan family is the mortal enemy of our Huo family!"
Huo Zhenhong spoke with great conviction, as if Fang Lanxin had really done something extraordinary.
"Fourth Uncle, what nonsense are you talking about? My mother isn't that kind of person!" Huo Qibang gritted his teeth, staring intently at Huo Zhenhong: "These are just rumors!"
Fang Lanxin glanced at Huo Qibang, somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected him to stand on her side and speak up for her.
However, Fang Lanxin didn't take these words to heart. She stood up and said calmly, "I took over the Huo family when I was nineteen. Twenty years have passed since then. I am forty years old now, and my husband has been gone for many years. Logically and emotionally, it wouldn't be unreasonable for me to find a man, would it?"
"You?" Old Master Huo looked at Fang Lanxin in disbelief: "You are the wife of the Huo family, how can you say such shameless things?"
"Old Master, you've already married three wives, why can't I find a man? I'm not having an affair, I'm a widow remarrying!" Fang Lanxin was utterly blunt, directly tearing away the old man's fig leaf: "Are the rules of your Huo family only for women? Aren't the men of the Huo family members?"
In her previous life, these ridiculous rules made Fang Lanxin feel suffocated.
But in this life, Fang Lanxin is determined to trample these rules underfoot.
"Don't say that I have nothing to do with them. Even if we were together, it's none of your business. This is a new society now. I have the freedom and the right to do so."
“I know what you’re worried about. Everything the Huo family gave me, I’ve now returned to Huo Qibang. He’s the true head of the Huo family now. What I have in my hands are just the assets of my Fang family. Your Huo family values reputation and rules the most, so you shouldn’t be after my daughter-in-law’s dowry, right?”
Fang Lanxin's attack power was simply unbelievably strong, even Old Master Huo was dumbfounded.
He looked at Fang Lanxin in disbelief: "How can you be so unreasonable?"
