As soon as Second Uncle Lu Zongkang said this, Rong Dai saw the old lady's face change.
This was indeed every family had their own difficulties that were hard to talk about openly, and there were even more such issues in this prestigious family.
Given the Lu family's background, even though the Huo Family was powerful, they still could not afford to offend them.
Because the Huo Family was able to achieve their current status, it was closely tied to the Lu family's influence.
The old lady would surely understand this reasoning.
However, the old lady was also helpless.
After all, the one who had died was her only son!
Yet both families had set their sights on Huo Shao Ting. If he did not handle this properly,
with the old lady on one side and the Lu family on the other,
in the end, he would be the one to suffer.
Huo Mei Shu and Huo ShaoJIe were still immersed in shock over the matter and had not regained their senses. Lu Nianzhi and the two aunties also did not feel it was appropriate for them to comment on the matter.
"So Second Uncle, what do you suggest we do?" asked Huo Shao Ting.
"If you want to take her back, I have no objections," replied Lu Zongkang.
"But if you want her to continue staying at the Huo family, that is out of the question."
"Keep her in Shengjing and give her another chance to assault my wife?" Huo Shao Ting retorted without giving any leeway.
The Huo family and the Lu family needed each other.
Lu Zheng had looked at him expectantly, but upon hearing his words, her face revealed an unbelieving and complex expression.
After all, she was his Mother!
Was he truly so heartless that for the sake of an outsider, he would treat his own mother this coldly?
Lu Zongkang knew his grandnephew had a stubborn temper, but he had not expected him to lack human empathy to this extent.
Although they were defending Lu Zheng, it did not mean they were willing to take Lu Zheng back to the Lu family.
They understood Lu Zheng's personality all too well.
After so many years, the Lu family had been leading a peaceful life.
If they brought Lu Zheng back, this household would be done for!
"Big...Big brother, do you really want to drive Mother away?" Huo Mei Shu asked in a trembling voice.
Huo ShaoJIe also looked over at Huo Shao Ting with Rong Dai sitting by his side. She could sense the complicated emotions in the eyes of the young aunt and uncle.
Subconsciously, neither of them wished for Mother-In-Law Lu Zheng to leave the Huo family.
This was something Rong Dai could understand. Although there was not a big age gap between the siblings, she could imagine that since Eldest Young Master was Father's first child, Grandfather would naturally dote on him more. Thus, Eldest Young Master's affection towards Father would also be the deepest.
These were all normal human feelings.
Moreover, Grandfather had passed away early. For the old lady to support this family and raise Eldest Young Master, it was only natural for the young aunt and uncle to be closer to Mother-In-Law.
"If you want to leave with her, I have no objections," Huo Shao Ting said coldly.
This matter had been suppressed in his heart for over twenty years!
If not for today, he would have kept it buried forever and not spoken about it.
But this time, Lu Zheng had touched his raw nerve!
Huo Mei Shu's face turned pale, gaping yet not knowing what to say.
Although her impression of Father's image had grown fuzzy, she knew Eldest Brother's feelings for Father ran deep.
Mother had indeed gone overboard this time and was chased out of the Huo family because of it.
Judging from Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle's reactions, they were clearly unwilling to take Mother back.
After leaving the Huo family, where else could she go?
Huo ShaoJIe also did not know what to say. Over the years, even he did not know about this incident.
He always assumed Eldest Brother was not close with Mother because of busy work at the company.
Yet he would never have imagined that this was connected to Father's death!
"Two choices. Go overseas, or go to Hainan."
Huo Shao Ting said coldly.
