"This bitch! Relying on Huo Shao Ting's sophistry over there!"
Rong Dai successfully turned the tables for herself. Looking at the comments from netizens online, Huo Linjing was so angry that her face turned livid. She stared at Rong Dai resentfully on the livestream replay screen, unable to restrain herself from curses.
But she only dared to curse loudly at home, and didn't dare do anything else, let alone go livestreaming. She was afraid that as soon as she started livestreaming, she would be the first one to be scolded till no skin was left.
Huo Linjing was very annoyed, yet helpless. She didn't expect things to go downhill so quickly.
The Wen family was in trouble, and so was her own family. Her grandfather had a stroke and was bedridden. Her parents were useless. Her big brother was busy saving his company in Sucheng. As for her younger brother Huo Shaoming, she didn't even dare rely on him.
Huo Linjing slumped on the sofa crying in despair. Seeing Wen Runlin's incoming call, she immediately answered.
But instead of Wen Runlin's concern, what she got was a torrent of scolding!
"Huo Linjing, are you trying to get me killed?! The Wen family is already like this. I can't afford to marry you anymore! If you want to go after Rong Dai in the future, do it yourself! Don't drag me into it!"
Wen Runlin was very annoyed. Looking at his bedridden grandmother and worried mother, with his sister still in jail, the Wen family business was finished. At this point, offending Huo Shao Ting again would leave their whole family without a place to live.
"Runlin, is our family and company really finished like this?"
Wen's mother asked him with eyes brimming red, full of despair.
Wen Runlin clenched his fists tightly, his face extremely livid. In the end, his shoulders slumped heavily.
At this point, the Wen family was thoroughly finished.
They couldn't even keep the company building, what could be left of the Wen family?
Those uncles, the first thing they thought of when the company got in trouble was dividing up the company to obtain the most benefits.
No one even thought of trying to save the company.
"Mr. Wen, please don't worry. I will take good care of young miss. Old madam's illness can't be delayed. We can only go abroad as soon as possible."
Yang Yue stood in the ward, his expression as cold as ever.
Hearing him speak, Wen Runlin looked over.
"The company is gone now. The Wen family doesn't need a driver anymore. I'll transfer your salary to your account. You can leave."
Wen Runlin said wearily.
Yang Yue looked at the family of three in the ward. His expression was very cold, and his eyes were extremely icy.
"Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Wen. Young miss has shown me kindness. I will do my best to take care of young miss. You can go abroad with peace of mind."
Wen Runlin ignored him. He really didn't want to hear the three words "Wen Shi Lan" right now.
If it wasn't for Wen Shi Lan, Huo Shao Ting wouldn't have turned against the Wen family so quickly either.
But it was too late to say anything now.
Yang Yue could see the look in Wen Runlin's eyes, but didn't say anything. He just bowed and left the ward.
Once out of the ward, his eyes flashed with fierce and sinister light. Huo's Enterprise, Rong Dai, none of them will get away!
...
Rong Dai was unaware that the Wen family and Huo's family now hated her to the bone.
Since the livestream, her popularity had surged. Followers on her Weibo account increased rapidly, but the vast majority were not real fans.
Rong Dai didn't have the energy to pay attention to these things. Because of the livestream incident, she enjoyed a period of tranquility in her life.
She spent her days embroidering in the embroidery room. Occasionally she would go deliver Huo Shao Ting's lunch at noon. In the afternoon she would study and improve herself.
"Shao Ting, will that Gu Chengyan you mentioned really come? If he doesn't show up, I feel Mei Shu will be very disappointed."
After changing into formal attire, Rong Dai couldn't help asking Huo Shao Ting.
Today was Huo Mei Shu's music concert. Thinking of Mei Shu's anticipation these past days, she couldn't help asking again.
"Whether he comes or not is up to him. Don't worry about her matters. Focus more on your husband, hmm?"
Huo Shao Ting looked at her possessively, leaning in to lightly peck her cheek, his gaze trailing down her swan neck.
"I remember you have many scarves. Wear one."
Rong Dai looked puzzledly at her own outfit - a cheongsam, hand-embroidered with bright, lush peony motifs.
It was just a very traditional hand-embroidered cheongsam. Why did he want her to wear a scarf too?
"I don't like others coveting even a shred of you."
Huo Shao Ting's gaze towards her was indulgent, his tone gentle.
All her beauty, he selfishly wanted to possess for himself.
Rong Dai smiled helplessly. She could only go to the closet and find a scarf in matching colors. Looking at herself in the mirror, she smiled wryly.
Huo Shao Ting was the biggest obstacle to her embracing fresh things.
In her past life, women were required to smile without showing teeth, and even their arms couldn't be exposed.
Even in blistering heat waves, although their attire was splendid, wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, enduring the heat was difficult even with cooling ice blocks.
Only after coming here did she realize just how comfortable modern women were compared to her past life.
At first she wasn't used to baring arms and legs either, but Shengjing's blistering summers made light clothing very cooling.
She had made great progress in her studies recently. Aside from acting, she had also greatly improved in fashion design, the original owner's field of study.
She put on the scarf and went out. The indulgence in Huo Shao Ting's eyes didn't diminish. His suit today had hand-embroidered details that matched Rong Dai's outfit.
Seeing him change into a new suit, Rong Dai smiled lightly, warm inside.
His actions were telling others that they were husband and wife, a united front.
Only when one truly cared for someone would they do such attentive things.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, you two change so slowly! Do you want to suffocate me? If you have time to be lovey-dovey, have some consideration for others!"
Seeing the couple come down, Huo Mei Shu said very helplessly.
Huo Shao Ting's gaze deeply swept over her dress - the one Rong Dai made for her.
"I...I'll go to the car first."
Sensing his gaze, Huo Mei Shu immediately quieted, picking up her dress as she hurried out.
Rong Dai smiled helplessly, linking arms with Huo Shao Ting as they got in the car, heading for the concert venue.
Huo Mei Shu had booked an upscale music club for her concert, only affluent patrons could afford to visit.
The venue was elegantly decorated in light blue, green and pink. The sound of the piano could be heard even before entering.
Huo Mei Shu had invited some renowned figures in her field, as well as many wealthy madams and young ladies. Everyone was dressed splendidly, chatting and laughing with wine glasses in hand.
Seeing Rong Dai and her husband appear, many came up to greet them, gazing at Rong Dai with more appraisal.
After all, this unknown Mrs. Huo had made great waves in Shengjing recently, unparalleled by anyone. Everyone wanted to catch a glimpse.
