“Xiao Ran, bring in the things you have prepared quickly.” Qin Ya saw that the atmosphere was tense and she quickly signaled Fang Ran to take out the precious supplement that the Fang family had specially brought over.
Fang Ran looked up and exchanged a glance with Qin Ya. She immediately understood what she meant and took two steps forward. She placed the colorful gift box in her hand on top of the locker at the door of the ward.
Chen Man sneered when she saw this and said unkindly, “Madam Fang has spent so much to buy so many good things over.”
Qin Ya did not tell the sarcasm in Chen Man’s tone and she smiled respectfully. “I don’t know how quickly Young Master Huo can recover from his illness, so I bought all sorts of tonics. We’re all family, so you’re treating me like an outsider by saying that I’ve spent a lot.”
“In that case, thank you for your trouble.” Chen Man didn’t say anything else and nodded lightly.
They didn’t know how the news had spread so quickly. Huo Xuan had just been injured last night, and the Fang family had come to visit him this morning. If the news hadn’t been leaked by the Huo family, there could only be one possibility.
Chen Man smiled coldly and touched the jade bracelet on her wrist quietly. It seemed like there were quite a number of people from the Fang family in the hospital. She had to check it thoroughly.
The Huo family had a big business and invested in many hospitals in Cloud City. It was easy to investigate.
Furthermore, Mo Zhu’s grandmother was also staying in this hospital. If the Fang family had planted too many spies, it would probably endanger Zhang Fen’s safety. Thinking about this, Chen Man couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. She had to deal with this matter as soon as possible so that her son and in-law could rest in the hospital without any worries.
After waiting for a long time, Chen Man did not invite them to sit down. Matriarch Fang also acutely sensed that this Madam Huo, who looked graceful and had a powerful aura, might not have thought of letting the three of them stay here for long from the start. Her eyes turned and she pushed Fang Ran, who was standing quietly at the side.
“Mrs. Huo, now that Young Master Huo is injured, it’s more or less inconvenient for him for him to carry out his daily activities. Mo Zhu is also a girl who grew up in the countryside. She might not be so attentive at times and might not take good care of Young Master Huo. Why don’t you let Fang Ran stay behind to help out in the next two days?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Man finally understood what was going on. She had known that the Fang family wouldn’t come to visit Huo Xuan for no reason. So they have been waiting here!
However, Chen Man had seen too many of such tricks. It was impossible to arrange for Fang Ran to be by Huo Xuan’s side in front of her so easily!
Chen Man sneered and looked up at Matriarch Fang. “Matriarch Fang, no matter how badly Mo Zhu takes care of Huo Xuan, she is still the legitimate future Young Madam of the Huo family. If Ms. Fang were to stay behind, I wonder what the rumors will say?”
After a pause, seeing that the three people in front of her did not seem to understand what she meant, Chen Man added coldly, “If Ms. Fang is rumored to be an easy woman who only cares about someone else’s fiancé, I believe the Fang family will lose face too, right?”
Chen Man had always disliked these few women from the Fang family. Now that they had taken the initiative to send themselves to her door, she could not show mercy. To avenge Mo Zhu, she would not give the three of them a good attitude!
Matriarch Fang’s face turned red from Chen Man’s words. Her eyes darted around as she replied, “Mrs. Huo, what are you saying? I’m just worried that Mo Zhu might not take good care of Young Master Huo and turn out to be disrespectful.”
Chen Man raised her hand and twirled the jade bracelet on her wrist a few times, but she didn’t stop talking. “The Huo family is very satisfied with Mo Zhu. She’s beautiful, smart, and obedient. She’s a thousand times better than Ms. Fang and the Huo family treasures her. Why would we dislike her for such a small matter?”
Chen Man paused for a second before she changed the topic. She stood up and glanced at the crowd coldly before she said in a harsh tone, “On the other hand, we can let what your family did to Mo Zhu be bygones. However, if I hear you slander Mo Zhu willfully in the future, that would be considered bullying the Huo family too!”
Chen Man’s words successfully shocked Qin Ya. She quickly continued, “Mrs. Huo, you’ve misunderstood. Ever since we brought Xiao Zhu to Cloud City, the Fang family has been taking good care of her. We’ve given her the best food, clothing, and equipment, and we’ve never mistreated her!”
Chen Man coldly turned her gaze to Qin Ya and waved her hand in disdain. “Mrs. Fang, you don’t have to explain too much. Everyone knows the truth. What I’m saying today is just to emphasize Mo Zhu’s identity again. From now on, the Fang family won’t have to worry about the Huo family’s daughter-in-law!”
Qin Ya looked at Fang Ran from the corner of her eye and frowned slightly. She did not expect this girl, Mo Zhu, to make Mrs. Huo so happy. It seemed that it was extremely difficult for Fang Ran to enter the Huo family now!
Fang Ran, who was standing quietly by the side, was also very embarrassed. She had been caught off guard by her grandmother’s push just now and now she was continuously attacked by Chen Man’s mocking words. She really wanted to find a hole in the ground and hide in it.
“Is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, Xuan’er still needs to rest.. You have already visited him, so you should leave as soon as possible.”
