Chapter 102

Lu Zheng, Rong Dai's younger brother-in-law, and Huo Shao Ting were already there, and Wang Mama brought some fruits.

As Lu Zheng looked at his children sitting together in an orderly manner, he was reminded of the times when her husband was still alive, and the whole family would sit here, drink tea, and enjoy the moon.

Seeing her mother-in-law looking preoccupied, Rong Dai quickly poured a cup for her and said, "Mom, please try it."

Lu Zheng nodded, took a sip, and then nodded again, saying, "Not bad, I've never seen this way of drinking tea before."

Rong Dai should have been happy to hear her mother-in-law's words.

But her heart inexplicably skipped a beat. Could it be that there was something wrong with the herbal tea?

Her cheeks tingled with nervousness, and she quickly tried to remedy the situation, saying, "This is a prescription my mother got from an old Chinese doctor. We used to drink it often back home, but I'm not sure if it suits your taste."

Lu Zheng didn't suspect anything. As long as her daughter-in-law could change for the better and get along well with her son, she didn't ask for anything else.

"Oh, I see. I thought you were also knowledgeable in Chinese medicine, sister-in-law. If it weren't for your performance this afternoon, I would have really thought that old lady was truly unwell," Lu Zheng said.

Huo Mei Shu, who hadn't drunk yet, nodded in agreement upon hearing Rong Dai's explanation.

Rong Dai's smile on her face was somewhat stiff, and her heart was filled with tension. Her gaze glanced over Huo Shao Ting, as if seeking his understanding.

She just hoped that her sister-in-law wouldn't say anything more!

Otherwise, with Huo Shao Ting's keen perception, he would surely notice something amiss.

"I just used a trick. The old lady's complexion was rosy and she spoke with vigor. She didn't look like a sick person at all. And when she fell, she even glanced at that lawyer on purpose. I think she wanted to scare us," Rong Dai said, holding her breath. She felt exhausted from weaving one lie after another.

"Next time, you don't have to worry about such things. I'll strengthen the security in our home. Mom, please inform the property management tomorrow that no one from the Wen family is allowed to enter with their vehicles anymore. The relationship between the Huo and Wen families ends here," Huo Shao Ting said.

Huo Shao Ting actually saw through Rong Dai's nervousness and panic, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he sipped the herbal tea, which tasted somewhat like a cooling herbal drink.

"I understand," Rong Dai nodded. She hadn't expected the old lady from the Wen family to make such a move today.

While drinking her tea, Huo Mei Shu quickly pulled out her phone to check when she heard them talking about the old lady. She wanted to see what else that old lady could do!

At that moment, Huo Shao Ting's private number rang. It was a call from his assistant, Zhang, so he answered it.

"CEO, you must check the news! Madam... she's trending again!"

Zhang Assistant was feeling a headache. He had been dealing with matters all day, and finally managed to shift the blame for the incident where the CEO hit someone at lunchtime to their side.

Before he could even catch his breath, another problem arose in the evening!

His head was spinning. What kind of bad luck did his wife have? She could become a hot topic just by having a meal or going shopping.

Now even when an old lady pays a visit, it becomes a hot topic. His career as an assistant is truly challenging!

Huo Shaoting's expression changed slightly. His imposing presence was so strong that even the slightest change was noticeable to those around him.

"Big brother, is there something going on in the company?"

Huo Shaojie saw his brother's reaction and thought something had happened in the company. He couldn't wait for his big brother to leave, as he felt uneasy all over.

Huo Shaoting glanced at him indifferently and said, "Can't even drink tea without choking you?"

Huo Shaojie: "..."

Did he offend someone?

"It's not a company matter, it's that old woman from the Wen family! She's absolutely despicable!"

Before Huo Shaoting could explain, Huo Meishu stared at the screen of her phone, her eyes almost shooting flames!

"Huo Meishu, do you have any manners?" Lu Zheng immediately rebuked her.

Huo Meishu shrugged, "Isn't it obvious? If you don't believe me, take a look at your phone. How maliciously did they edit the video on Weibo? It's downright vicious!"

Lu Zheng frowned. She knew very well that the old lady from the Wen family must have had ill intentions when she came today. However, she had just returned in the afternoon, and the old lady left in a huff. She certainly wouldn't have stopped her.

Upon hearing her words, both Lu Zheng and Huo Shaojie quickly took out their phones to see. When they saw the trending topics, Lu Zheng's face turned pale.

Huo Shaojie's expression also changed. Who could have imagined that an old lady would be so malicious? She deliberately framed a younger generation!

And it involved Wen Shilan in a murder allegation! That's life-threatening!

"Big brother, I have no objections to how you handle the Wen family this time. Back then, the Huo family did owe them a debt of gratitude, but over the years, hasn't the Wen family received enough from the Huo family?"

Huo Shaojie's face darkened. He turned to look at Huo Shaoting, his eyes sharp and resolute.

"Yeah." Huo Shaoting responded indifferently, while sending a few messages to Zhang Assistant.

Rong Dai looked at the trending topics on her phone and couldn't help but sigh.

She had prepared for the worst, but she still didn't want the worst outcome to happen.

"Just ignore these things. I will handle this matter," Huo Shaoting said, reaching out to hold her delicate hand, his voice gentle and comforting.

Rong Dai smiled bitterly, shook her head, and then took out a video from her hand and placed it on the table. "When the old lady came this afternoon, I was cautious because neither Mom nor you were at home. Since she is an elder, if both Meishu and I couldn't handle this matter well, it would only give the old lady a chance to make trouble. So, I had Wang Mama find an opportunity to secretly record the video."

Lu Zheng immediately went over to watch after hearing this, and Huo Shaoting and Huo Shaojie naturally followed suit.

"Sister-in-law, should we post the video now?" Huo Meishu felt an itch deep down, realizing that this person could be vicious, and age was definitely not an issue.

"Since we have video evidence, it's best to let Big Brother handle this matter. The company's public relations team has more experience dealing with these things."

Huo Shaojie was the first to shake his head, feeling a sense of relief in his heart.

It all started because he didn't handle his sister-in-law's first audition properly, which resulted in the video being leaked, and she ended up making headlines every few days.

It's quite amusing when you think about it. His sister-in-law is not even part of the entertainment circle, yet she repeatedly dominates the trending topics. Can this really leave any room for the people in the industry?

Rong Dai also nodded, her gaze eager, yet tinged with a hint of nervousness and self-blame as she looked at him.

She had no idea how Huo Shaoting would view her. In that situation at the time, she had no choice but to do what she did.

If she hadn't asked Aunt Wang to record the video back then, the current online buzz would be enough to ruin her career.
