Lin Banxia looked at Aunt Li, who was crying bitterly and putting on a repentant act. Her face was expressionless as she said, "Do you know why I can’t forgive you? It’s because you’re completely soone who bullies others by exploiting their position of power. Perhaps this has beco a habit after working for so many years. If it weren’t standing here today, but soone else, wouldn’t they have been wronged by you too?"
Aunt Li beca even more terrified after hearing those words. Trembling, she stamred, "No, no, young mistress, this was really just a misunderstanding. I never intentionally wanted to make things difficult for you. I was muddle-headed, I truly know I was wrong..."
Lin Banxia glanced at the man standing nearby. Huo Yanting’s expression remained cold and stern, without uttering a single word, as if leaving the decision entirely to her.
Having lived through two lifetis, Lin Banxia naturally understood who deserved help and who needed to be stepped on. Soone like Aunt Li, who looked down on others based on their social status, certainly deserved a lesson, teaching her to differentiate right from wrong.
"You could betray for so petty benefits; how can I trust that you won’t sell out for even greater riches in the future? Deep down, your loyalty to the Huo Family isn’t unwavering either. I don’t know whether the Huo Family will be willing to forgive you, but as far as I’m concerned, you won’t be staying here." After finishing her words, Lin Banxia turned and walked towards the living room.
Aunt Li was on the verge of collapse. Looking at Lin Banxia’s cold and unyielding deanor, she imdiately shifted her pleas toward Huo Yanting: "Young master, please help plead for leniency. I really know I was wrong! I didn’t realize she was the young mistress. I’ve been working for the Huo Family for so many years; I’ve always been loyal and sincerely wanted to serve the family! Please don’t dismiss . At my age, where else could I find a job like this?"
Aunt Li quickly resorted to playing the pity card, thinking that perhaps Huo Yanting might feel sorry for her and let her off.
Unfortunately, Huo Yanting was even colder and more heartless than Lin Banxia. He said sharply, "I think she’s right. A person who can betray others for money is simply unreliable to keep around. Don’t bother pleading with Grandma either—otherwise, you won’t even get the little money you’re owed. You have one day to leave."
Aunt Li was struck as if with a heavy blow, leaving her completely dazed and shaken.
She had originally hoped that being transferred here would allow her to get a raise and promotion, but instead, she had ruined her own career.
The three thousand yuan she had in her pocket seed laughably insignificant compared to her lost future.
Aunt Li knew full well what kind of person Huo Yanting was. When he spoke, nobody dared to defy him.
Thus, she left with trembling legs.
Lin Banxia returned to the upstairs bedroom, and Huo Yanting followed her inside in heavy steps.
Lin Banxia gazed sadly out the window, her voice soft as she asked, "You didn’t object to driving her away, did you?"
Huo Yanting stared at her slender figure that, though small, stood upright and strong. In a deep voice, he replied, "I support your decision."
Lin Banxia was montarily stunned and turned back to look at him, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on his. Then, she let out a bitter smile: "There’s an even bigger problem now. Huo Qinglin’s mother barged in, bringing her trio of sisters with her, and they took pictures of like crazy. I don’t know if they managed to capture anything, but at the ti, I was wearing this shirt, unbuttoned three buttons because it was hot, and I wasn’t wearing anything underneath..."
By the ti she finished speaking, Lin Banxia’s face had turned bright red, and she felt like she was utterly dood this ti.
If those videos ended up online, she’d never be able to lift her head in society again.
Huo Yanting reached out his hand to her. "Co with !"
"Are we going to confront them?" Lin Banxia walked over to him, instinctively placing her small hand in his palm.
