Bold and passionate love: Acting coquettishly in Mr. Huo's arms

"Be good, that's what my good sister does." Cheng Min pulled the corners of his lips, with a forced smile: "Go home and persuade Mom to be nicer on the day of the banquet. Only when I am well can our Cheng family be well, and you can continue to live a luxurious life of luxury. Do you understand?"

His cold big palm gently patted her cheek twice.

The biting coldness ran from his cheeks all the way to his heart. Cheng Yi couldn't help trembling and his lips trembled.

Seeing his sister's fearful eyes, Cheng Min felt a surge of satisfaction in his heart, and his smile widened: "I'm asking you, do you understand?"

His grip tightened as if he wanted to break her slender wrist.

"Brother, it hurts..." Cheng Yi's tears fell faster. She was so scared that she softened unconsciously and nodded repeatedly: "I, I will listen to you, brother. I will persuade mom to go to the Huo family to apologize together."

"Bring a valuable gift and apologize sincerely." Cheng Min emphasized. Seeing her nod, he let go of her hand and straightened his suit.

"You don't have to feel wronged." He sneered softly, with a hint of disdain: "You women love to fuss over such trivial matters. A vulgar and uneducated woman can ride on your heads and humiliate you, isn't it because of the Huo family?"

"Now that Huo Yan is down, isn't she just a piece of fish on the chopping board, ready for you to slaughter as you please?" He looked at his sister arrogantly, condescendingly admonishing her, "Fighting for a moment's pride is useless. You want to see who has the last laugh."

"But she really went too far!" When Cheng Yi mentioned Ruan Xingchen, he felt his face, which had finally recovered, feel hot and painful again. He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, Mom and I are your family after all. She slapped our Cheng family in the face in public like this. She doesn't even take us seriously! I'm so angry."

Cheng Min's face became gloomy and uglier.

When beating a dog, you have to look at the owner first. Just like Cheng Yi said, after all, she and Aunt Huo are his biological sister and mother.

Ruan Xingchen slapped her in the face in public, not only hitting Cheng Yi, but also Cheng Min's face.

A bitch who hadn't even graduated from college dared to look down on him? Was she just being bold, or was it Huo Yan's idea?

Do they think that Cheng Min is still a dog of the Huo family?

"You want to vent your anger? Isn't it easy?" He raised the corner of his mouth, revealing his fangs flashing with cold light, and smiled dangerously: "Since you are so angry, I will help you vent it."

"Brother, do you have a solution?" Cheng Yi's eyes lit up.

"Some fools overestimate their own abilities and start dreaming of sudden wealth." Thinking of the news, Cheng Min sneered, "I heard that Ruan Xingchen opened an investment company. Isn't Mom's foreign trade company short of funds? Let Mom go and talk to him."

Although Aunt Huo was vain and foolish, she had a good mouth and could deceive those ladies and socialites who only had a pretty face and knew how to take care of their beauty.

In the name of introducing investment, Aunt Huo broke into the circle of wealthy ladies and made an unknown amount of money in the regularly held afternoon tea salons for wealthy ladies.

As for her foreign trade company, it originally belonged to the Huo family.

When Grandpa Huo was still alive, he left most of the Huo family's property to his eldest grandson Huo Yan, whom he had raised, and gave the foreign trade company to Aunt Huo as a dowry.

This company has been in a state of loss and has been unable to make any progress no matter how it is managed. Grandpa Huo probably has feelings for the company. Before he died, he forced Huo Yan to sign a contract to fill the company's losses every year.

It can be said that the reason this foreign trade company has not gone bankrupt so far is that it is supported by the Huo family and is sucking blood from the Huo family.

Cheng Yi obviously knew his mother's ability. His eyes lit up and he nodded without hesitation. He said angrily, "I'm going to make Ruan Xingchen unable to cry."

Ruan Xingchen, who was being missed, was not in a good mood at the moment.

She thought that after realizing that this world was a book and being horrified by the melodramatic and bizarre love story in the book, there would be little she couldn't face after her rebirth.

But at this moment, listening to the curses coming from the microphone, she couldn't help but frowning in confusion, and she felt a rare bit of irritability.

"...Since you're married, you should at least be more self-disciplined. Flirting and being fickle is something no upper-class family can tolerate." Mrs. Zhong Lin Rou chattered incessantly, her tone filled with barely concealed arrogance as she lectured, "Mrs. Huo's background means she's truly blessed to be able to marry into the Huo family. You should at least be content. If you don't cherish your blessings, there will be no good outcome."

Lin Rou is Zhong Shaoyang's mother. She is very vain at heart and considers herself a noble. She looks down on her daughter-in-law Ruan Xingchen because of her background.

Now that she is not her daughter-in-law, who gave her the confidence to show off and give orders?

Ruan Xingchen couldn't understand her train of thought. She was a little surprised and a little amused. "Excuse me, Mrs. Zhong. What did you call me before? Could you please repeat it?"

"..." Lin Rou paused for a moment. She didn't expect her reaction to be like this. After a while, she said, "Mrs. Huo, what are you trying to do?"

"Oh, so you know I'm Mrs. Huo, not someone from the Zhong family..." Ruan Xingchen couldn't help laughing. "Then may I ask, what's your position in scolding me? I don't remember any elders in my family being named Lin."

The tone was particularly sarcastic.

It was like being slapped in the face. Lin Rou's voice suddenly became sharp: "Ruan Xingchen, don't go too far! You know exactly why I'm looking for you!"

"Sorry, I'm not very clear." Ruan Xingchen sneered: "If you can't teach your son well yourself, what's the point of coming to me?"

"If you hadn't used some insidious tricks to seduce him, how could Shaoyang have refused to get engaged?!" Lin Rou was furious and blurted out, "What kind of person could come out of a place like the slums? I heard there's a red-light district next to the back alley. I'm afraid she's learned all the tricks to seduce men..."

The Zhong and Li families are old friends. In Lin Rou's eyes, a young lady like Li Mian, who was raised in a wealthy family, is the first choice for her daughter-in-law.

She is smart, sensible, well-educated, and can provide support for her beloved son at home. How can a commoner like Ruan Xingchen compare to her?

"Madam Zhong." Ruan Xingchen's voice was cold, and she rudely interrupted her unspoken words: "The Qing Dynasty has been gone for hundreds of years, and you are still here talking about your family background. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if it gets out?"

"Besides, no matter what my background is, I am now Madam Huo and have nothing to do with your Zhong family." Ruan Xingchen lowered her eyes and said coldly, "I don't care what Zhong Shaoyang and Li Mian are arguing about, but I sincerely wish them a happy marriage and a long life together. You should discipline your own son yourself, and it's best not to come and shout at me."
