Chapter 111

"Huo Mei Shu, I'm warning you, today I didn't come here to find you...",

"You are Huo Shaoming, right?",

Before he could threaten her, Rong Dai went up and pulled Huo Mei Shu to the side, staring at Huo Shaoming with cold eyes.

"Yes, you'd better agree to this. Let's pretend this incident never happened today. And you need to pay my sister's medical expenses for her hand."

When he met her gaze, Huo Shaoming's arrogant temper cooled down a bit, but he still had to say those harsh words.

Rong Dai sneered, "Then today, the Huo family will pay the cleaning fee for this living room."

Huo Shaoming's face changed, he was very angry.

"Shaoming," Huo Shaoqian called him and signaled with his eyes for him to shut up and stand aside.

Huo Shaoming was reluctant, but he was still afraid of this big brother.

"Sister-in-law, our visit today was a bit abrupt. Since you are unwilling to compromise on this matter, then let it go," said Huo Shaoqian.

"Huo Shaoqian!"

Before Rong Dai could respond, Huo Linjing, who had just bandaged her hand, yelled at her again.

"Huo Linjing, apologize to your sister-in-law."

Huo Shaoqian's face was calm as he glanced at her and spoke firmly in a low voice, leaving no room for refusal.

Rong Dai watched clearly from the side. It seemed that this uncle didn't have much say in the Huo family. Huo Shaoqian and the old master were the ones to be most wary of.

"I won't! She has ruined the Wen family so badly. I'm about to marry Runlin soon. How am I going to marry into that family?!"

If it were usual times, Huo Linjing would definitely listen to her big brother.

But today was different. Neither Huo Shaoteng, Lu Zheng nor old Madam Huo were at home. She wasn't afraid. She must force Rong Dai to compromise!

Otherwise, when she married into the Wen family, how would they treat her?

Anyone could guess what would happen.

"I told you to apologize!" This time, Huo Shaoqian spoke more sternly with knitted brows and flickers of anger.

Rong Dai didn't say anything. She pulled Huo Mei Shu to stand aside and asked her to put down the vase.

When dealing with lunatics and unreasonable people, one must always maintain a safe distance.

Huo Linjing's face turned red and white with anger as she stared at Rong Dai resentfully. But she was afraid of big brother Huo Shaoqian when he was angry.

Now he had the final say in their family. Her father basically had no say at home. If she offended the big brother, what would happen to her dowry?

But if she just let Rong Dai go like this, wouldn't her slashing her hand be in vain?

How would she explain it to Granny Wen and Runlin?

"Shaoqian, she must provide an explanation for this matter today. Your sister is the victim. How can you make excuses for the perpetrator?"

Jiang Qiaoqing naturally disliked Rong Dai, not only because of the Wen family's affairs, but also because Rong Dai had retorted her several times earlier. She was fuming inside.

Huo Shaoqian frowned and looked at Huo Feng meaningfully.

He had been very clear about this from the start. Huo Shaoteng would not miss this opportunity.

If it were him, with the Wen family providing such a good chance, if he didn't take action at this time, when would he?

Huo Shaoteng was a smart man, and his wife was not an ordinary housewife who could be easily fooled.

How could Huo Feng not understand his meaning?

He would not have gotten involved in this matter originally, but his goals were aligned with Huo Shaoqian's.

Now that the situation was clear, of course they could not stay and wait for Huo Shaoteng to come back.

"Apologize to your sister-in-law," Huo Feng said heavily. He stood up leaning on his cane, casting a meaningful glance at Rong Dai, and prepared to leave the Huo residence.

"Grandpa!" Huo Linjing couldn't believe it. Didn't they come to get justice for her and the Wen family?

She had been directly stabbed, but the matter was still unresolved. Were they leaving just like that?

Wouldn't her stabbing have been in vain?

Jiang Qiaoqing also looked at her father-in-law in disbelief. But she didn't dare defy the prestige of the head of the family, and could only look at her sullen husband.

"Listen to your grandfather and big brother. Apologize to your sister-in-law," Huo Jun said heavily after a few seconds of silence, avoiding Jiang Qiaoqing's gaze.

Huo Linjing's face turned deathly pale as she stared at them in disbelief. Were these still her relatives?

That wasn't what they had agreed on before coming here!

Rong Dai was not at all surprised by the change in attitude of Huo Feng's family. But Huo Mei Shu was a bit confused.

"What exactly are these people trying to do?"

"Probing," Rong Dai said softly.

With decades of experience in the inner palace in her previous life, she was no amateur. The affairs of the previous dynasty's inner palace were intricately connected. She had seen countless similar incidents.

Huo Jun and his wife had no status in the family. They could order the servants around.

But the masters of the family were old master Huo Feng and eldest son Huo Shaoqian. The ambitions of these two were barely concealed.

From the moment they entered, they hadn't said a word. The few words they did say later were all refuted by her.

Since the little sister-in-law had said before that there was an internal split in the Huo family, and Huo Feng had lost, he must have been dissatisfied.

And over the years, Huo Shaoteng had been extremely successful in his work. Although she didn't know how much hardship he had gone through, being able to make Huo Enterprise the largest in Shengjing took skill. The hardships he endured were unimaginable to ordinary people.

These two probably had no way to deal with him, while she, as Shaoteng's new wife, had caused so much commotion recently.

More importantly, Shaoteng had gotten into a big public fight for her sake. This may have allowed them to smell an opportunity to take advantage of, so they wanted to probe her bottom line.

As for dealing with Wen Shilan, these two didn't care at all.

Although the sisters-in-law spoke softly, Huo Shaoqian could hear them clearly. His face was calm as he glanced at Rong Dai.

Seeing that she looked back, he nodded slightly and said softly, "I rudely intruded today, sister-in-law. Another day, Shaoqian will definitely treat you to make amends. We won't disturb you further today."

Rong Dai made no response, only shifting her gaze to the door.

Huo Shaoting was already standing there.

A flash of abnormality passed through Huo Shaoqian's eyes, although it was fleeting. But Rong Dai saw it clearly. He was afraid of Shaoteng.

"Leaving already when I just got back?"

Huo Shaoting strode in with an extremely cold and frosty face. His eyes held a hint of mockery, but were mostly icy.

At the Huo residence entrance stood seventeen or eighteen burly security guards.

Seeing this, Huo Linjing, Huo Shaoming, and mother and son Jiang Qiaoqing immediately extinguished their arrogant airs. They shut their mouths and shrank to the side, not daring to speak.

"I heard someone wanted to hit you. Did you get hurt anywhere? I was handling some urgent company matters last night and didn't get a chance to check your messages, sorry to worry you."

He walked up to Rong Dai. Although his face was still cold, it had softened a lot and he spoke gently.
