Chapter 365 Chen Man’s Theory
When Chen Man heard this, she was amused by Huo Peng’s words. She lowered her eyes and calmly took a sip of tea. She looked up and looked straight into the man’s eyes without any guilt. “So? Second Brother, what do you want me to agree with? What do you want our family to do?”
Upon hearing this, Huo Peng thought that he would be able to persuade Chen Man. He immediately raised his face happily and smiled. “Sister-in-law, in my opinion, we have a marriage relationship with the Kang family due to Qing’er. We shouldn’t be so ruthless on account of her. Otherwise, how will she be able to interact with her in-laws in the future!”
After pausing for a few seconds, the man added impatiently, “Besides that, Sister-in-law, the Kang family has been developing so quickly in recent years. There are many talents in their children and grandchildren who are in their prime. We don’t know when our Huo family will need to use their help to build connections or something. After all, there are so many families in Beijing. It’s better to have a friend than an enemy!”
Upon hearing his words, Chen Man raised her eyebrows and looked coldly at the people around Huo Peng. She sneered and continued, “Why, do all of you think so too?”
Once Chen Man said this, her expression was normal and she did not lose her temper. A few relatives from a few families hid in the crowd and shouted anxiously, “Yes, besides the fact that we should not attack the Kang family, we also want to ask your family to give up the right to manage the family. Now that your family has a grudge against the Kang family, it’s really not suitable for you to manage the Huo family. We have to go and ask the old master for justice. The Huo family’s shares have to be redistributed!”
Just as he finished speaking, someone echoed loudly, “That’s right. There’s also the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb that Huo Xuan’s little fiancée won at the Gao family’s auction last time. That’s also something that belongs to the Huo family. You have to hand it over too. We’ll distribute it equally no matter how much it’s worth!”
When Chen Man heard this, she lowered her eyes and calmly took another sip of tea. She was not angry. She coldly raised her eyes and stared at the few people who were showing off in front of her. She asked disapprovingly, “Is there anything else? If you have any other thoughts, feel free to say them, lest you say that my family is biased towards someone else.”
Following Chen Man’s words, Huo Peng looked around for a long time. After a while, he shook his head and replied, “Sister-in-law, this is everyone’s opinion!”
“Alright, since you’re all done, it’s my turn!”
After Chen Man said this, she finished the tea in her cup and suddenly placed the cup in her hand on the table. Her entire body instantly exuded a cold aura. She frowned unhappily and scolded, “Why? Is it that my family’s control over you has become looser and looser in recent years? Now, even any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to step on my family?”
Seeing that Chen Man was angry, Huo Peng immediately softened his tone and smiled obsequiously. “Sister-in-law, don’t misunderstand. We don’t mean that…”
Before she could finish, Chen Man raised her hand and threw the teacup on the table to the ground. She looked at Huo Peng with a dark expression and said loudly, “You don’t have the intention to step on our family? Then are you openly looking down on me? Do you think the Chen family is easy to bully?”
Chen Man had married Huo Tao and managed the Huo family’s matters diligently for a long time. Now, everyone had almost forgotten that she was the daughter of the Chen family in Beijing. The Chen family was also a big family with a hundred years of foundation.
That’s right. As the daughter of the Chen family and Mrs. Huo, Chen Man was not a small character that anyone could deal with easily!
When she said this, everyone present shivered in fear.
Seeing that everyone had lowered their heads slightly and no one dared to speak, Chen Man sneered and slammed the table. She looked at everyone mockingly and said, “You want my family to give up the rights to lead the family? Sure, if anyone wants to take over, just tell me now. The second branch? Or the daughters-in-law of other families that you’ve married out?”
