Chapter 366 Solving the Problem
After hearing Chen Man’s words, everyone around the table looked at each other and were instantly speechless.
Chen Man rubbed her palms slightly and glanced at the people of the Huo family coldly again. She snorted and said, “Who wants to take over the Huo family? Come, stand up and take a look. Second Brother? Remember that you’ve taken over the Huo family for three years and lost two companies? Or is it your third or fourth sister who wants to take over? You don’t know how to help the Huo family take care of the business and only care about using the family’s funds to subsidize your in-laws!”
After a pause, she patted her chest and took a deep breath before continuing to reprimand them, “If you want my family to hand over the power, you have to see if you have the ability to take it over. All these years, if not for my family, how much of the Huo family’s assets would have been squandered away by you people!”
These things came out of Chen Man’s mouth without any mercy. The Huo family’s juniors were already looking around at the elders of the various families without knowing what was going on. The gazes on them were so intent that they wished they could find a hole to hide in immediately.
Seeing Chen Man’s aggressive appearance, Huo Peng knew that he was in the wrong. He knew that it was impossible to ask the eldest branch to hand over the power of the family. He immediately changed the topic and said, “Sister-in-law, even if we don’t force you to hand over the power of the family, you can’t continue to go against the Kang family like this. No matter what, Qing’er is still the daughter-in-law of the Kang family. If you really fall out with the Kang family until you die, how will Qing’er deal with her in-law in the future?”
When Chen Man heard this, she raised her eyes coldly and glanced at Huo Peng. A cold glint shot out of her eyes. She frowned slightly and said unhappily, “Although Huo Qing is indeed the daughter of the Huo family, since she’s already married out, she should be a member of the Kang family. As the saying goes, it’s difficult to take back the water that has been poured out! She will naturally be a member of the Kang family from now on. However, if Qing’er wants to return to the Huo family to take a look, our eldest branch has no objections. After all, she’s Old Master Huo’s flesh and blood. There’s nothing wrong with blood being thicker than water.”
“You!”
Huo Qing had been hiding in the crowd since just now to observe the current situation. Now that Huo Peng had changed the topic to her, she originally thought that Chen Man would restrain herself for the sake of their family. She did not expect her to say such heartless words!
She was so angry that her face turned red. She took a deep breath and Huo Qing quickly took two steps forward and said in a sharp voice, “Sister-in-law! How can you say such words to hurt my relationship with my brother for so many years? If Xuan’er is your child, am I not my brother’s biological sister? How can you be so biased?”
Chen Man raised her eyebrows slightly. She was not affected by Huo Qing’s words at all. She calmly looked at the woman’s irritable appearance and pursed her lips. “Sister Qing’er, you’re wrong. How can you compare yourself to Xuan’er? Not to mention that you had already married into the Kang family and become the daughter-in-law of the Kang family many years ago, Xuan’er is the successor of the Huo family that the old master had personally appointed. Everyone has seen everything he has done for the Huo family all these years. Aren’t you embarrassing yourself by comparing yourself to him?”
After pausing for a few seconds, Chen Man looked at Huo Qing’s darkening expression and sneered without batting an eyelid. She continued, “Besides, the Kang family has gone too far this time. Not only did they drug my son, but they also hurt my daughter-in-law. This is simply bullying the Huo family! How can Huo Tao and I tolerate
this?”
Once she said this, there was another murmur in the crowd.
“In my opinion, we should have let Huo Xuan marry that girl from the Kang family from the start. That way, we wouldn’t have attracted so much unnecessary trouble!”
“Yes, if we had persuaded the old master a little more back then, this marriage might have been completed long ago. In that case, such a bad incident wouldn’t have taken place today!”
