Chapter 98

She knew very well why the old lady from the Wen family had come today.

But Shao Ting and his mother had told her before that they had already been very merciful to the Wen family.

The Wen family did help out the Huo family at the beginning, but they had also taken a huge sum from the Huo family without holding back, possibly even more.

There are no permanent friends in the business world, only permanent interests.

At that time, although the Wen family was powerful in Shenjing, they also had opponents. To put it nicely, the Wen family was helping the Huo family; to put it bluntly, they were actually just helping themselves.

After so many years, it was about time the Wen family stopped sucking blood.

She was the daughter-in-law of the Huo family. They could talk privately about family matters, no outsider needed to interfere.

"Thank you for your concern, mother," said Rong Dai obediently with a nod, signaling Huo Mei Shu to go upstairs with her. The old lady probably needed to lie down for a while longer.

The sisters-in-law went upstairs towards Huo Mei Shu's room. After entering her room, Rong Dai sat on the sofa while Huo Mei Shu brought over a footstool and sat in a swing chair, ready to gossip.

Rong Dai listened with a smile. If it were anyone else, they would have found Huo Mei Shu annoyingly chatty.

But Rong Dai didn't feel that way. Perhaps it was because of the loneliness in her past life.

She liked being surrounded by liveliness and noise. Even meaningless chatter made her happy to listen to.

"Sister-in-law, you really don't know how outrageous that old lady is. Any younger generation she catches can hardly escape her evil clutches," said Huo Mei Shu animatedly.

"I always followed grandma's words carefully and behaved obediently in front of her. She must have been furious today!"

Rong Dai smiled faintly. "Actually, what the grandma said makes sense. You either ignore such people, or cater to them in ways they like. Otherwise you're just asking for trouble."

Huo Mei Shu nodded emphatically in agreement, then grimaced in disgust and contempt. "I didn't expect they could still be so shameless to beg you again. She had already begged my mom last time."

Rong Dai knew about this. Huo Shao Ting had turned on the speakerphone right in front of her at the hospital back then.

She frowned slightly. "Don't you think it's strange how she happened to know I was home today?"

Huo Mei Shu's expression changed. She immediately called Uncle Li to retrieve the surveillance footage around the Huo residence.

If they weren't stalking closely, how could they know the whereabouts of sister-in-law so clearly?

"Sister-in-law, the incident today... made it to the hot search again," she said after hanging up with Uncle Li.

When she checked her phone, the incident of them eating in the mall at noon and elder brother beating someone was already trending.

Rong Dai's face turned slightly pale. She lamented the advanced information spread in this world, but at the same time, she was also very afraid.

The feeling that any action could be singled out and criticized was very unpleasant, like being stripped naked and examined in public.

"Is it serious?" she asked anxiously. She really wanted to see but her phone had just been taken by Auntie Wang for other uses.

"Don't worry sister-in-law, let me check first!" Huo Mei Shu was also nervous.

She had already been forced to trend twice. Sister-in-law wasn't a celebrity. If this continued, she wouldn't even be able to go out.

"It's okay, don't be nervous," said Rong Dai to reassure her upon seeing Huo Mei Shu's anxious expression.

After all, it had already happened. They should think about how to resolve it rather than anxiously blame themselves, as that would only affect clear thinking.

Huo Mei Shu quickly browsed Weibo. Seeing that the vast majority of comments were siding with them, she immediately relaxed.

It couldn't be helped. Chinese people were just that powerful.

No matter how much internal strife, they would unite against foreign enemies.

In recent years, China's rapid development had attracted many excellent foreign entrepreneurs, but it had also brought over some foreign trash that harmed Chinese women.

Such incidents were already common. It was about time elder brother beat up those worthless foreign scumbags.

Many people were probably fed up already but lacked elder brother's influence. They might as well rally behind him!

She immediately posted the video and text she had copied today as precaution.

Then she grinned at Rong Dai triumphantly, "Done!"

"It's okay now?" Rong Dai was puzzled.

"See for yourself!"

Huo Mei Shu handed her the phone, in great spirits.

Rong Dai browsed through it. Although there were still some malicious comments, the vast majority were cheering Huo Shao Ting on, putting her mind at ease.

The sisters-in-law were chatting when Auntie Wang knocked and entered at Huo Mei Shu's call.

"Auntie Wang, did that old lady leave?" Huo Mei Shu's eyes lit up immediately.

She really wanted to see the old lady's disheveled state after being stuffed under the comforter. Shameless even in old age!

Auntie Wang looked at her reproachfully but also helplessly. "How could she not leave? Who could withstand the down comforter you stuffed her with? The old lady was so stuffed that beads of sweat on her forehead were the size of soybeans. If stuffed any longer, she really might have fainted."

"Hahaha... She deserved it!"

Huo Mei Shu laughed gleefully right away.

Rong Dai was exasperated. She looked towards Auntie Wang, who quickly handed over her phone.

"Madam, your phone."

"Thank you for your trouble."

"I'll go back down since I couldn't reach the young master when I called earlier. He was probably in a meeting."

Auntie Wang smiled benevolently with a nod, not forgetting to mention the call.

"It's fine, everything's been resolved. If that old lady didn't leave, my elder brother would have really needed to get her some heart revival pills when he got back," said Huo Mei Shu, waving her hand as she laughed heartily. Just picturing the old Wen lady crawling out from under the comforter was too funny.

Auntie Wang nodded and left the room.

"Sister-in-law, aren't you the least bit curious how disheveled that old lady was?" Huo Mei Shu had tears of laughter. Seeing that Rong Dai was still calm, she couldn't help asking.

A mysterious smile appeared on Rong Dai's face as she browsed her phone. "What's there to be curious about? Won't I see clearly when I look?"
