When Ding Huizhu heard that she had actually returned it to Jiang Baili, a vein in her forehead throbbed involuntarily.
If there were any harmful substances in this, and Xie Yunqiu found out, what would happen?
Madam Hang said sarcastically, "Are you saying that you not only harmed outsiders, but also your own family? Oh, no, that's not right. Your Xie family is holding some kind of successor selection. You and Jiang Baili are competitors. Who knows what your intentions are?"
Xie Yunqiu finally lost her temper, grabbed the bottle of hair growth serum from the coffee table, and threw it directly at Xie Li.
"You bastard—!"
Xie Li's pupils contracted slightly, his expression a mixture of surprise and realization.
This time, however, she didn't dodge. The bottle hit her shoulder, and judging from the sound, it must have hurt a lot, but her expression remained calm.
Even as the bottle bounced off and landed, she hooked it with her toe, and the bottle landed safely in her hand.
This turn of events happened so fast that before anyone could fully react, Xie Li calmly looked over and said, "Can we talk properly now?"
——
"Madam, what did Miss Jiang mean by those words just now? Does the young master know that Miss Xie the Second?"
The car sped along, and the servant helped Madam Huo open the jewelry catalog, asking curiously.
Madam Huo frowned slightly. Although she turned and left, she still heard Jiang Baili's words.
What does it mean that "Brother Yuntang said he would sponsor her to go to school"? How did Yuntang know that person?
The maid added, "Madam Xie's expression was off just now; it seems that the second young lady has caused some trouble..."
"Alright, stop bringing up irrelevant people." Madam Huo was a little unhappy. "Instead of wasting your time, you should think about how to do your job well."
The servant dared not speak again.
Madam Huo slowly exhaled, feeling that none of them were easy to deal with.
Ding Huizhu couldn't even keep an eye on a wild girl from the countryside... In recent years, the Xie family has been living in Linjiang City, and they are becoming more and more useless. Even ambitious women like Ding Huizhu have slowly become mediocre.
If it weren't for Huo Yuntang's repeated insistence, she would never have considered such a family as a marriage partner...
The cell phone suddenly rang, and the special ringtone made the maid not dare to delay for even a second, and she immediately answered the call.
"Hello, Yuntang..." Madam Huo put aside her thoughts and focused on talking to her son on the other end of the phone.
The mother and son chatted casually for a few minutes, but when they noticed that Huo Yuntang on the other end of the phone wasn't in a good mood, Huo's second wife softened her voice.
"What's wrong? Have you been having some worries lately?"
"No," Huo Yuntang said, "I'm just a little anxious because I can't help much here in the capital..."
Madam Huo gently advised him, "This matter cannot be rushed. Take it slowly. I have people gathering information here as well. If it doesn't work, I'll send some more people to Tiandu Mountain..."
They simply oversimplified the matter.
When they first made contact with that person in the capital, and saw that the other party urgently needed sweet potatoes to heal their wounds, they readily agreed.
After visiting so many places, I still had no clue whatsoever; I went to Tiandu Mountain, where it was said you could buy golden sweet potatoes, but I came up empty-handed.
The ladder to heaven was right in front of the Huo family, but they couldn't find the right stepping stone, which no one would be willing to accept.
"Mother, please take care of yourself. I have some things to take care of here. I'll come back to visit you later."
Huo Yuntang thought for a moment, then relaxed and comforted Madam Huo before preparing to hang up.
