To her utter surprise, Ding Huizhu's biological daughter returned. Her appearance was even more striking than Ding Huizhu's, which was so jarring that she disliked her more and more.
Now, that person is using that face to seduce her son, the one she's most proud of in her life!
Madam Huo the Second: "Yun Tang, you are the most calm and rational person, don't be fooled by a woman like that!"
"Have you forgotten that she was betrothed to the Pei family? Madam Pei was so eager to curry favor with the Xie family, but what happened? The engagement was called off after only a short time. Isn't that enough to prove the point?"
"I've heard that the Pei family broke off the engagement because Xie Li was messing around at school, and she also has a lover in the countryside! I've seen plenty of women like that, who think they can get something for nothing by sleeping with men just because they're pretty."
As Madam Huo spoke, she felt that her mouth was dirty. She used to be high and mighty, and she didn't need to compete with these ants. It would be beneath her dignity.
Huo Yuntang felt that what the Second Madam Huo said was wrong, but he was too lazy to refute her.
"I just feel that Xie Li's value may be seriously underestimated."
The fact that Xie Li's actions tonight alone thwarted the Huo and Ding families' long-term plans proves that he is no fool.
Although she borrowed Xu Zhen's influence, the fact that she managed to subdue someone like Xu Zhen demonstrates her ability and value.
This was the last thing Madam Huo wanted to admit: a village girl whom she used to find dirty and unappealing had suddenly become a person of high status, even more glamorous than herself. How could she accept this?
"So what if that's the case? Will the Xu family hand over the position of heir to her?" Knowing those big shots is fine, but without real assets in her hands, she's ultimately unreliable.
Huo Yuntang paused for a moment, then said, "But the position of Xie family heir will probably fall to her."
Jiang Baili has already been packed up and sent abroad by Old Master Xie. He even refused to let Xie Yunqiu and her daughter stay to attend the family reunion banquet. She has completely lost her eligibility as a candidate for heir.
Of the remaining people, Xie Lin had no interest whatsoever, and Xie Zi'an, having inherited the Xie's Pharmaceutical Technology Group, would not compete either.
Hsieh Tzu-yuan was originally confident of victory, but judging from the performance of the Hsieh family today, they have serious doubts about whether they can continue the election fairly and justly.
Madam Huo couldn't hold back any longer and slammed her hand on the table: "They dare!"
Huo Yuntang: "Why wouldn't I dare? Xie Li isn't a fool; he has the Zhenye Group backing him up."
He spoke calmly, but Madam Huo couldn't calm down. Xie Ziyuan was someone she had watched grow up and had received a lot of education from her. Could her chosen daughter-in-law be inferior to a village girl?
"Ziyuan is about to break through to become a senior alchemist, and she has also gained the favor of the richest family, Shen. Do you really think Ziyuan is an easy target?"
Even a fool could see who was more suitable to be the successor of the Xie family's traditional Chinese medicine practice!
Madam Huo sneered: "If the Xie family really doesn't want Ziyuan, that would be a huge joke. They'll probably just be able to live in a remote corner and quietly decline away."
Without a genius like Xie Ziyuan, who can the Xie family rely on to support them?
After all these years of decline, do you really think the Xie family of traditional Chinese medicine, once teeming with talented individuals and flourishing with diverse ideas, is still the same family?
Even though Xie's Pharmaceutical Technology Group has developed well in recent years, its core products still need to be developed and manufactured by alchemists. Without senior alchemists, how many more years can Xie's Pharmaceutical Technology Group live off its past achievements?
Madam Huo felt that no matter how you looked at it, the Xie family shouldn't have been so foolish as to dig their own grave.
