Just as she finished speaking, the few people in the crowd who wanted to curry favor with the Huo family had already started discussing what Fang Ran meant.
“Ms. Fang was really right. I think the daughter-in-law of the Huo family should learn how to be appropriate. Young Master Huo has treated her so well, she has let his sincere heart down.”
“Yes, yes. I didn’t expect a young girl like her to give up on such a good man like Young Master Huo and rush to give herself to an old man who looks like he can be her father.”
“You really can’t judge a book by its cover. I heard that the young lady is still a high school student. She has already learned to seduce men at such a young age. What will happen when she grows up?”
Upon hearing the commotion here, Huo Xuan frowned and quietly walked to Mo Zhu’s side and stood behind her.
Seeing Young Master Huo walk over, the people who spoke were unable to grasp the Huo family’s attitude. They instantly stopped talking and did not say another word.
At that moment, Huo Tao and Chen Man naturally noticed the commotion between Fang Ran and Mo Zhu. Chen Man had long disliked this daughter of the Fang family who harbored ill intentions. Now that she saw her arguing with Mo Zhu, she lowered her head and pondered for a few seconds. Chen Man also felt that something was wrong.
In the face of Fang Ran’s deliberate provocation, Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows disapprovingly and said, “Ms. Fang, you’re wrong. If you have anything to say, wait until you’ve seen all of this.”
After saying this, Mo Zhu did not stay any longer. She turned around and walked straight to the center of the banquet hall.
She raised her hand and gave Jiang Xun, who was already prepared and waiting in front of the equipment table, a signal to broadcast it. Before everyone could figure out what was going on, the big screen that had shown the picture just now lit up again, and a video impressively appeared on the screen.
On the dark alley street, a woman wearing a cap and a black mask instructed the man standing in front of her in a low voice. The man looked like a local ruffian and he was donned in a colorful shirt.
Have you found the person who knows how to hack? Why did you insist that I come personally? Can’t you contact me through text messages?”
Upon seeing this, Fang Ran’s expression changed. Not only her, almost everyone who had contact with the Fang family recognized her. The girl wearing a cap on the screen was Fang Ran.
The video was still playing. The man took out a cigarette from his pocket impatiently and lit it up. He looked at the girl coldly and said ruthlessly, “It’s the Huo family’s business that you want us to cause trouble for. How can we attack the Huo family without knowing your identity?”
Upon hearing the man’s words, the girl looked around nervously. “As long as you settle this matter, I’ll double the price we agreed on previously.”
The man slowly exhaled a ring of smoke and nodded in satisfaction. “In a while, send me the name of the hotel where the Huo family is holding the banquet. You can set a time and I’ll set up this photo and place it on the big screen in the banquet hall.”
“Alright, remember to add the line of words I asked for. If you do a good job, there will be a lot of money for you too!”
After saying this, the girl in the baseball cap did not stay any longer. She turned around and prepared to leave the alley. Just as the girl turned around, the video on the screen stopped. The time was just right. The dim yellow street light shone on the girl who had half her face exposed because her mask had fallen slightly. She looked petite and young. Who else could it be but Fang Ran?
“No, it’s not me!” Facing the gazes of everyone, Fang Ran could not help but hide behind Qin Ya.
Qin Ya was also extremely embarrassed. Ever since she came to the Fang family, Fang Ran had always been her pride. She did not expect her usually obedient daughter to do such a thing!
“Xiao Ran, you, how can you be so muddle-headed!” Qin Ya sighed in disappointment. The Huo family was powerful and she did not know what to say to protect her daughter.
Grabbing Qin Ya’s hand, Fang Ran felt an inexplicable fear. She said with a wronged and sobbing tone, “Mom, believe me. This video, this video must have been edited by Mo Zhu. She wants to use it to slander me. It must be like this! It must be!”
The people present were all from the major families of Cloud City. Everyone had seen many such dirty things that were not presentable. At this moment, Fang Ran’s incoherent actions were already concrete in their eyes. Everyone looked at the Fang family with dark and unclear expressions.
“So it’s you! Ms. Fang, no matter what, Mo Zhu is your half-sister from a different father! How could you use such a vicious method on your biological sister!” Huo Tao’s eyes were red with anger. He never expected that today’s matter was actually done by the Fang family.
As if she understood that there was no turning back now, Fang Ran’s expression changed and her words instantly turned harsh. “Haha, so what if I did it? It was Mo Zhu and the old man who had a private meeting in the first place. If she dared to do such a thing, why would she be afraid of being exposed?”
Mo Zhu had one hand in her pocket as she lazily watched Fang Ran resist. She raised her eyebrows and said, “Ms. Fang, are you so sure that I’m meeting an old man in private? In that case, I’ll be good and give you a quick death.”
Raising her eyes to look at the gloomy Jiang Yan not far away, Mo Zhu said lightly, “I’ll have to trouble Uncle Jiang to explain it personally.”
