Chapter 115

Rong Dai felt a little amused and exasperated. She glanced at the kitchen. It seemed that the day when she and Huo Shao Ting would have the mother-in-law, young auntie, and grandmother that his parents looked forward to would probably never come.

"Where did you get so many questions? Why don't you come and ask me instead?"

Huo Shao Ting walked out of the kitchen carrying dishes, his deep eyes staring sharply at Huo Mei Shu's counter-question.

Huo Mei Shu had to shut up. Rong Dai didn't want the siblings to quarrel with each other because of her again, so she quickly said, "I want to go upstairs and take a look."

That day at Jinxiu Store, she had spent a lot of money buying all that embroidery equipment.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go with you!"

Huo Mei Shu seized the opportunity and held her arm. The sisters-in-law went upstairs to see the embroidery tools.

Rong Dai examined them very carefully and was very satisfied with the exquisite workmanship of these tools from Jinxiu Store.

Touching those base fabrics and embroidery threads, Rong Dai felt a little relieved in her heart.

She took out her phone to check the account her little sister-in-law had helped register for her. Surprisingly, there were several messages she hadn't had time to reply to.

She quickly replied to them. Huo Mei Shu leaned over to take a look and saw that someone had really placed orders.

"Sister-in-law, can you handle so much? You have to go to Uncle Jiang's place for classes during the day, and you still need to make time to improve your relationship with my brother. Embroidery is also meticulous work. And you haven't finished making that quilt yet. If you take more orders now, won't you be too tired?"

Huo Mei Shu looked at her with concern and asked.

But Rong Dai just smiled lightly, completely unconcerned about these things: "Don't worry, it won't affect me. Just don't tell your brother about me taking orders."

Otherwise, knowing Shao Ting's attentiveness, he would definitely not let her take orders.

But she desperately needed these orders, and she desperately needed money.

A year's time went by quickly, and she didn't know how long her marriage with Huo Shao Ting would last before it collapsed.

Because both of them had their own secrets and many things they were unwilling to open up to each other.

More importantly, there was still not enough complete trust between them. Now their relationship looked very good in the eyes of outsiders.

But whether it was good or not, only the people involved knew clearly.

The amount of two billion was not a small number, especially for her current situation. It was a huge debt.

The only thing she could rely on was her embroidery skills, which could be linked to the design skills the original owner had learned.

Moreover, women's consumption in this era was frightening, especially when it came to clothing.

She didn't have any fame or reputation now, but she believed in her skills.

For now, she could only use a period of time as a buffer, and then make plans for the next step.

Huo Mei Shu nodded. After the inspection, the sisters-in-law went downstairs.

Rong Dai went back to her room to change into casual home clothes, then went downstairs to the kitchen.

"Shao Ting, do you need my help with anything?"

"Just wash your hands and you can eat. After the meal, there's someone you might want to see."

Huo Shao Ting spoke while taking off his apron.

Rong Dai nodded. She washed her hands and came out of the kitchen with her husband. Her uncle-in-law and aunt-in-law were already seated, looking at the table full of food and almost drooling. After all, Huo Shao Ting was a first-class cook.

After the family had dinner, Huo Shao Jie and Huo Mei Shu very tactfully went upstairs to do their own things, leaving space for the couple.

"Who did you say I was going to see just now?"

Rong Dai asked him after rinsing her mouth.

Huo Shao Ting looked at her with a very serious expression: "Zuo Ran. She wants to see you. The trial is the day after tomorrow."

Hearing this name and thinking of that person, a flash of disgust passed through Rong Dai's eyes.

No matter whether there was really something between the original owner and Zuo Ran, she was very sure that she had nothing to do with Zuo Ran.

Zuo Ran was just crazy. Thinking back to how she had almost lost her life at Zuo Ran's hands, she really didn't want to see this person.

"Forget it if you don't want to go. Someone will take care of this matter."

Seeing her hesitation, Huo Shao Ting said.

"No, I'll still go see her. I also want to hear what else she has to say to me."

Rong Dai quickly contemplated in her mind. Zuo Ran knew about An Feiya and her daughter's affairs, and she also wanted to know what else Zuo Ran wanted to say by asking to see her.

Huo Shao Ting nodded. The couple got in the car and came to the police station.

Zuo Ran's injuries had been downgraded from critical to stable condition. She had been given good medicine and was recovering quite well now.

When she saw Rong Dai and her husband come out, Zuo Ran's gaze was fixed firmly on Rong Dai.

Rong Dai's body stiffened slightly. After all, everything Zuo Ran had done to harm her was still fresh in her mind. No matter how strong she was mentally, encountering this kind of madwoman would still affect her to some extent.

Through the glass window, she saw Zuo Ran sitting in a wheelchair, wearing prisoner's clothes and heavy handcuffs.

Without the beautiful makeup, she looked extremely haggard, and the wrinkles on her face could not be concealed.

The two sides sat down. Zuo Ran grabbed the intercom and questioned her very emotionally: "Why!? Why did you betray me!?"

She was so agitated that she was immediately pressed down on the shoulder by the female police officer beside her. Zuo Ran's face was pale, and her fingers gripping the intercom were white.

The shrill, piercing sound made Rong Dai's eardrums hurt. She reflexively held the intercom very far away.

When Zuo Ran was forced to calm down, she held up the intercom and asked, "You wanted to see me just to ask this? I've already made it very clear to you before."

"First, I did not betray you, because there was never anything between us. It was all your own delusion."

No matter if the original owner was involved with her or not, she would never admit it anyway.

"Second, my mother's death had to do with you. You got my mother killed, yet you expect me to forgive you? That's impossible."

"Third, my mother and I never owed you anything. All these years it was my mother supporting you, you sucked her blood, and you got her killed. Zuo Ran, are you even human?"

"Fourth, Rong Dai's orientation is very normal. How many shameful things have you done over the years? Don't you know in your heart? Besides, who I like is my freedom and has nothing to do with you."

Rong Dai's face was calm and her tone was cold.

She really didn't want to see Zuo Ran at all, but since she had killed An Feiya, she had to meet this person no matter how much she detested her.

Huo Shao Ting stood behind her. Sensing her anger and disgust, he regretted a little having her come to see this person.

But An Feiya's death was not something she could be kept from knowing.

"You're lying! You've always been so obedient since you were little, so attached to me. You loved me! It's just because this man has money that you abandoned me!"

Zuo Ran was still immersed in her own dream, glaring at her furiously, her eyes full of resentment.

Hearing her say this, not just Rong Dai, even Huo Shao Ting felt disgusted.

However Zuo Ran's orientation was, no one had the right to say anything about it. After all, personal preferences were personal matters.

But her preference had become so obsessive that it had morphed into perversion, even driving her to break the law to satisfy herself. So this was no longer an issue of personal preference.
