Cheng Rouyin’s face darkened as well, scolding her daughter, "Why did you gamble with her in the first place? Now we have to hand her two hundred thousand for nothing. Just thinking about it makes my heart ache. Silly girl."
"Mom, you have to find a way to help get revenge! That shaless woman went too far. It was just a stupid bet, and she actually took it seriously. I’m furious." Lin Shiyi knew she was in the wrong, so she could only rely on her mother to avenge her.
Cheng Rouyin’s eyes glead maliciously as she sneered coldly, "Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to get back at her for you. I’ll show her how to stop being so arrogant."
At the Huo family dinner table, Huo Anya sat nervously in her seat. Despite the table being laden with an array of delicious dishes, she had no appetite at all.
After being harshly scolded by her grandfather over the phone, he now refused to even speak to her.
Huo Anya felt deeply aggrieved. She couldn’t understand what she had done wrong or why her grandfather was suddenly treating Lin Banxia so favorably.
"Anya, you’re flying out the day after tomorrow to study abroad. Stop idling about and causing trouble for all day." Old Sir Huo broke the stifling silence at the dinner table with a command.
Huo Anya trembled when she heard those words. Tears of grievance welled in her reddened eyes as she pleaded, "Grandpa, I know I was impulsive this ti. Please, I’m begging you, don’t send abroad. I don’t want to leave."
"Hmph. Do you realize the embarrassnt you’ve brought to the Huo family with everything you’ve done lately? Not a single one of your actions hasn’t shad us. My decision is final. Pack your things and go. I’d like to live a few more years in peace." Old Sir Huo was truly furious. This ti, he had hired skilled artisans to restore the pear garden for Lin Banxia, costing a substantial sum. Moreover, to compensate for Lin Banxia’s financial losses, he had spent nearly tens of millions.
"Dad, Mom, please! Help say sothing. Grandma, please talk to Grandpa. Don’t send away. I don’t want to go abroad. Brother Wei Chen is back. I don’t want to go anywhere—I just want to stay here with him!" Huo Anya’s emotions completely broke down when she realized her grandfather was dead set on sending her overseas.
Luo i naturally felt heartache for her daughter. She thought that Lin Banxia was nothing more than an outsider. Old Sir Huo was truly being way too ruthless.
"Dad, Anya was only provoked by Lin Banxia. She used to be such an obedient and well-behaved child. If anyone should be sent away, it should be Lin Banxia. Anya is, after all, your granddaughter..."
"Shut your mouth!" Old Sir Huo’s sharp gaze swept over Luo i. "For her to beco this arrogant and unruly, it’s your failure as parents. And now you have the nerve to plead with ? You two, as parents, better reflect on your mistakes as well."
Luo i turned pale with fright. Since marrying into the Huo family and raising her children, she had always been diligent and faultless. While Old Sir Huo and Old Madam Huo occasionally showed her a cold attitude, never before had they pinned the bla on her so directly.
Huo Tianfeng, seeing that both his wife and daughter were being scolded, didn’t dare make a sound. He could only quietly reprimand his wife, "Say less. Father is right to discipline us. Anya has indeed been too spoiled and needs proper guidance."
Luo i, chastised by her husband, imdiately clamd up.
She was well aware of the stakes involved—if even her husband didn’t dare to speak up, how could she, as a re woman in the family, dare to be bold?
Huo Yanting sat silently to the side, his handso face utterly indifferent.
This ti, Huo Anya had only damaged the items in the pear garden rather than injuring his woman. Because of their sibling bond, he chose not to hold it against her.
But if next ti she dared to harm Lin Banxia, Huo Yanting would never remain indifferent.
