"No need."

His dark eyes were filled with coldness, without a trace of emotion.

Huo Yan said coldly, "You can do whatever you want, but don't involve my wife. My wife is my Achilles' heel..."

He didn't mind showing everyone how much he cared about Ruan Xingchen, even though he was facing the camera and knew that this would be edited into the TV station's edit.

He didn't flinch at all, his eyes fixed firmly as he spoke word by word, "Whoever touches me will die."

He doesn't care what the audience will think of him or talk about him after this segment is broadcast.

Whether it is that he really forgot his mother after getting married, or that he was disrespectful to his parents and only had eyes for beauty.

He doesn't care about any of it.

He was no longer in a position where he needed to care about these rumors. Saying this publicly was just to prove to everyone that he cared about Ruan Xingchen.

It doesn't matter whether those remarks are attacks or insults to him. He just wants everyone who tries to attack Ruan Xingchen to think carefully about whether they can get away from him.

Lin Qiujun's heart trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a chill from the soles of his feet.

She knew that Huo Yan was warning her.

Besides being frightened, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Snapped!"

She slammed her chopsticks on the table, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "You're going to quarrel with your mother just for a woman? Huo Yan, how come you haven't made any progress in your life? You're even worse than when you were a kid."

A dark light flashed in Huo Yan's eyes.

As a child?

When he was a child, he had developed a dependence on and admiration for Lin Qiujun.

For such a young child, his world only has this vicious and cold mother.

But what about her?

Not only did she never give him any maternal love in return, but she often called him a useless waste.

So he couldn't keep Father Huo for her, and he had to follow her and become a burden to her.

For Lin Qiujun at that time, a child's dependence on and love for his mother was the most useless and cumbersome thing in the world.

Since she had abandoned him in the first place, why did she want to ask for it from him now?

"I've been able to remember things from a very early age. Mom, are you sure you want to tell me everything from the past?"

Glancing meaningfully at the camera, Huo Yan said in a calm voice, "If we really tear our faces apart, I'm afraid it won't look good."

Lin Qiujun's expression froze.

There was no evidence of her childhood events, and the real weakness was the agreement that Mr. Huo had signed with her.

After all, she was still young when she signed the agreement, and because she got married and had children when she was at the peak of her career, she was full of confidence in herself and believed that she would become a big star.

She didn't leave herself any way out and asked for a lot of things directly, showing no attachment to her son Huo Yan.

If it is really revealed, even if she spends all her money to hire a large army of internet trolls, she will not be able to change the public's impression of her.

Lin Qiujun's whole body was stiff.

"Brother Huo, godmother is just a little jealous."

Jiang Guiwan hurried to smooth things over.

She covered her lips and chuckled softly, her eyes curved, and she said softly: "After all, Brother Huo is so good to Ms. Ruan and cares so much about her, it's normal for Godmother to be jealous. Godmother just hopes that Brother Huo can pay more attention to her."

"Godmother is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Brother Huo, please don't take it to heart."

She softly persuaded, "You clearly care about each other, so why hurt each other? Brother Huo, please stop saying such things. Godmother will be sad."

Lin Qiujun turned her face away and didn't look at them.

This posture seemed to be an acknowledgment of Jiang Guiwan's words.

Huo Yan lowered his eyes coldly, as if he didn't hear what Jiang Guiwan said at all, and simply ignored her existence.

He lowered his head and picked up a piece of food for Ruan Xingchen with his chopsticks.

Jiang Guiwan almost couldn't maintain the smile on his face.

What could be more contemptuous and humiliating than completely ignoring someone?

In front of the camera, she could only smile nonchalantly and give herself a way out: "Ms. Ruan, please try the cooking of your godmother's chef. If there is anything that needs to be improved, please let me know."

She smiled and said gently, "We are all family. Ms. Ruan, come and eat often in the future. Just let us know and the chef will adjust the food to your taste."

She said this as if she was the master of the house.

But it is also true that now it seems that she and Lin Qiujun are closer after all, while Huo Yan and Ruan Xingchen, the real son and daughter-in-law, seem like outsiders.

"As a guest, how can you be picky about the host's food?"

Ruan Xingchen raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

Jiang Guiwan couldn't have thought that she couldn't hear the implicit declaration of sovereignty in these words, right?

Unfortunately, Ruan Xingchen doesn’t care at all about who Lin Qiujun likes more.

She took a sip of tea lightly, the curve of her crimson lips was elegant and charming.

He said softly, "As long as it's edible, I don't really care how it tastes. After all, I'm not that thick-skinned to gossip about other people's families and lose sight of my own status."
