"That annoying little brat is driving insane! She actually bewitched Yan Ting into speaking up for her. That little witch—leaving her alive was a mistake." The old lady grew angrier the more she thought about it.
Luo i, standing nearby, silently lanted. If she’d known, she would have struck harder.
"Mom, Yan Ting usually acts so mature and composed, always steady and thoughtful. How could he be fooled by a little vixen now? Even dared to talk back to you? So unfilial!" Luo i seized the opportunity to stomp all over Huo Yanting’s reputation.
The old lady’s face twisted in frustration, and she gritted her teeth. "That woman must have put on so pitiful act in front of him to gain his sympathy. Yan Ting may not be the wandering type, but once his emotions are engaged, he’s as stubborn as a mule."
"Grandma, do you an... Cousin Yanting has feelings for Lin Banxia? No way. If that’s true, does it an he might actually marry her soday? But after what we did to her today, if she does marry into the family and turns against us—thinking about it just gives chills." Huo Anya’s talent for stirring the pot was clearly inherited from her mother.
Still fuming, the old lady lost her hold on reason and snapped, "Like hell she will! There’s no way she’ll set foot in my Huo family’s door! I’ll break her legs if she dares."
"Grandma, you must hold firm. We all know Lin Banxia is no good—she only uses those sly tricks to seduce n. We can’t let her marry into the Huo family. If she does, it’ll spell the end for us." Huo Anya, adopting a serious and concerned tone, urged the old lady.
The old lady shot her a sharp look. "You think I’m senile? I’m perfectly calm. Enough now, all of you leave; I need a nap."
Luo i and her daughter had no choice but to quietly step out.
The mother and daughter took the garden path, planning to return ho.
Midway, Huo Anya suddenly broke down crying, her voice trembling with fear and frustration, "Mom, sothing terrible has happened! I think I’m really in big trouble."
Luo i had been savoring mories of how Lin Banxia had struggled in desperation earlier. Hearing her daughter’s distress, she was instantly startled, "What kind of trouble? Tell , I’ll handle it."
"Well... rember when I invited Lin Banxia to the house for the dinner party? Because I resented her for making a fool of at Grandma’s birthday banquet, I drugged her drink. At first, I was planning to find so n to ss with her, but she managed to escape. The next day, she ran straight to Grandma and tattled on ."
Luo i had been in the dark about these events, as the old lady had kept it under wraps, and Huo Qinglin dared not speak of it either.
Now hearing the full story from her daughter, Luo i wasn’t angry about the deed itself. Instead, she approved eagerly, "Anya, you did the right thing. Dealing with a woman like her requires punishnt like that."
"Mom, you’re not letting finish! I haven’t even gotten to the main point."
"Then hurry up and say it!" Luo i shot a glare at her daughter.
Huo Anya wiped away her tears, pitifully explaining how Lin Banxia had forced her to record a confession admitting her wrongdoing.
"Are you out of your mind? How could you admit to a cri like that?" Luo i, who had been feeling satisfied just monts ago, turned pale with worry. She swiftly lashed out, furious at her daughter’s stupidity.
"Mom, it’s not my fault—it’s all because Lin Banxia is too cunning! I fell into her trap. Mom, what should I do? I think she’s mad enough to hand that recording over to the police this ti, and then I’ll be done for..." Huo Anya let her fragile and anxious side show in front of her mother.
