Miss Huo, go ahead and do it. I'll make arrangements for an ambulance.
Yong Dai looked at the Huo family's frantic state with an indifferent expression. After Wang Ma brought down the first aid kit, she added fuel to the fire.
Neither Huo ShaoJIe nor Huo Mei Shu expected Huo Linjing to threaten suicide. Caught off guard, they snapped back to their senses when Yong Dai provoked Huo Linjing like that.
"Yong Dai! What do you mean?! Are you cursing my daughter to die? I'm warning you, if anything happens to my daughter, I won't let you off!"
Jiang Qiaoqing was about to go crazy. As she wrapped Huo Linjing's wound with bandages, she glared at Yong Dai furiously.
"Huo ShaoJIe, with your eldest brother away, are you just going to let an outsider run amok here? Forcing your own sister to hold a knife to herself, what does this look like?"
Although scared half to death by his daughter, Huo Junxin's experience helped him keep a cool head. His mind raced, immediately seizing this incident.
Yong Dai glanced over. The fruit knife had already been taken away by Wang Ma.
"Uncle, your words imply that I forced Miss Huo to commit suicide? May I ask how I did that?"
This family was really unreasonable. No wonder even the original host didn't invite them to such a big wedding with Huo Shao Ting.
"Barging in here like a gang of bandits and causing a ruckus is one thing. On top of that, you immediately attacked your sister-in-law when you came in. Wen Shi Lan committed a crime and should be prosecuted according to the law.
"You came to me, asking for my forgiveness. But when I was kidnapped, did I see Second Master and Uncle say a word for me?"
"Since I'm an outsider to you all, you are also strangers to me. Is this how you plead with someone?"
"Hitting people, lecturing arrogantly. You whitewash problems and disregard principles. No matter how influential Huo Shao Ting is in Shenjing, he is still a Chinese citizen. Things must be handled according to Chinese law."
Her momentum turned sharp. She would not fear people who came to make trouble like this.
Unless they were really willing to harm the Wen family at any cost, she would have to reassess the situation.
"Mei Shu, call the police to handle this. Getting me to shelter a murderer would make me an accessory, right? Your family may wish to die, but I, Yong Dai, do not."
"ShaoJIe, arrange for the residential security to come and check the surveillance footage before the police arrive. No one is allowed to take half a step out that door."
"This is the Huo residence, not some dodgy place. You come and go as you please. That stops now."
Her attitude was firm and dignified. She spoke steadily, but carried weight in every word.
"Yes, sister-in-law!"
Huo Mei Shu reacted immediately. Seeing the Huo family's ugly expressions, she felt delighted inside.
The two families had become like water and fire long ago. As a junior, she could be beaten to death by her elders for saying something like this.
Huo ShaoJIe was also taken aback for a moment before he came to his senses. He promptly strode out to the yard and quickly called Huo Shao Ting.
"Sister-in-law, Linjing was a bit excessive, but as you said, you are sister-in-law in name only. There is no need to interact with her in this way."
Huo Shaoqian, who had not spoken until now, finally opened his mouth.
Initially, he did not want to get involved in this mess. Whether the Wen family lived or died was of no concern to him.
The Huo family was currently flourishing, and he was in charge of a branch company. If profits were up this year, he would have more say at the headquarters.
The Huo Group was not Huo Shao Ting's alone.
Did he think he could monopolize its success after throwing them some scraps? That was impossible.
He had been competing with Huo Shao Ting for many years, but the latter was ruthless, never giving opponents a chance to catch their breath after striking.
Huo Shao Ting was like a perfect machine, flawless, leaving him at a loss on how to make a move.
However, his new wife's frequent scandals recently revealed a weakness Huo Shao Ting cared deeply about.
This was the only vulnerability he had found so far.
If utilized well, it could become the weapon to bring Huo Shao Ting down.
That was why he wanted to come along today to assess this legendary sister-in-law. Just her audacity and eloquence proved she was no ordinary woman.
At last he understood why the workaholic Huo Shao Ting had married so early. She was different from other women.
The Wen family was seeking death this time.
Although not privy to the company's core operations, he knew the Wen family's profits had declined year after year for some time, leeching away much from the Huo Group over the years.
Yet his father still hoped to use the marriage alliance to defeat Huo Shao Ting. To him, that was a joke.
What could the Wen family amount to now?
Internal divisions had already occurred. What pillars could Wen Runlin hold up?
In Shenjing, only Huo Shao Ting stood at the pinnacle. Did Wen Runlin think he could match him? Ridiculous.
Not to mention Wen Shi Lan's foolishness and the Wen matriarch's clumsy, inadequate PR maneuvers.
Weren't they just giving Huo Shao Ting a chance to destroy them?
Yong Dai glanced at him coldly. Her gaze held some indifference.
"Sister-in-law? As I said, you are all strangers to me. And I'm younger than her. Young Master Huo, are you joking with me?"
Since they were up to no good, she saw no need to be polite.
"Yong Dai, don't be shameless. My parents and grandfather came to resolve this."
"I don't care about your laws. If my sister gets wronged because of you, I will have you killed! Believe me or not?"
Huo Shaoming was just an idle playboy. He had held back due to something he needed to attend to.
But when Huo Mei Shu snatched away the hidden camera, it stoked his anger. He immediately glared at her, yelling with arched brows.
Yong Dai gave a cold laugh, looking scornfully at Huo Feng. "This is the upbringing in Second Master Huo's family. I've really gained insight today. I've made myself very clear. There is no discussion about this matter!"
"You're really asking for death!" Huo Shaoming rolled up his sleeve as he stalked toward Yong Dai with eyes wide.
"Huo Shaoming! Don't you dare!"
Seeing this when she came downstairs, Huo Mei Shu immediately grabbed a decorative vase by the stairs and rushed over to shield Yong Dai, blocking Huo Shaoming.
