With red eyes and a face full of apology, Meng Yuxuan said, "Auntie, I came here today to apologize to you and Young Master Zhao on behalf of my cousin."

"Apologize? On behalf of your cousin? Could it be that your cousin hit my Longlong?" Madam Zhao's sharp voice suddenly rose.

Meng Yuxuan bit her lip and nodded, "She really went too far, beating Young Master Zhao like this, if..."

Before Meng Yuxuan could finish speaking, she was stunned by a slap from Madam Zhao.

Her delicate face immediately swelled up like a monkey's bottom, and her fake tears froze.

Meng Yuxuan never dreamed that Madam Zhao would slap her across the face.

Zhao Shalong and Zhou Piaopiao, who were standing nearby, were also startled.

Zhao Shalong couldn't stand seeing a beautiful woman shed tears, so he quickly said, "Mom, this has nothing to do with Yuxuan, don't make things difficult for her."

Madam Zhao glared at Meng Yuxuan, then turned to Zhao Shalong, "Longlong, tell Mommy, is what this woman said true? Did her cousin hit you?"

Zhao Shalong felt a mix of fear and fondness when he thought of Meng Shu, who had a fierce yet beautiful face.

He was conflicted.

After all, he knew his mother's methods.

Who knows, this delicate beauty might just perish.

"Say it, is it or isn't it?" Madam Zhao urged, looking at her son who seemed to be staring blankly.

Meng Yuxuan nodded gently, "It's her."

Zhou Piaopiao also said, "Auntie, these words were said by someone close to Senior Brother Zhao."

Hearing this, Madam Zhao's eyes turned red with anger. She glared fiercely at Meng Yuxuan and said, "Tell your cousin to get over here right now, or you'll face the consequences!"

Meng Yuxuan nodded with tears in her eyes.

At this moment, Madam Zhao realized what was happening and frowned, "You look familiar. Are you Meng Wude's daughter?"

Meng Yuxuan nodded.

"So, the person who hit my son is that girl we just brought back from the orphanage?"

"is her."

A complex emotion flashed in Madam Zhao's eyes.

How could it be her?

Two days ago, Zhao Wuliang repeatedly told her not to provoke the girl Meng Jiaxin had brought back.

No matter how much she pressed him for an explanation, Zhao Wuliang refused to give a reason.

Madam Zhao wasn't stupid; she immediately realized that Meng Shu was no ordinary person!

Noticing the change in Madam Zhao's attitude, Zhou Piaopiao had a bad feeling.

"Aunt Zhao, Senior Brother Zhao was harmed to this state by Meng Shu. You must avenge him!"

Madam Zhao sneered, her heart burning with anger.

There's still something she doesn't understand.

His own son was being used as a pawn.

But seeing the worry in her eyes for her son, and the way she treated him so carefully, he looked down on her even more.

Just two weeks ago, she was completely indifferent to me.

The Zhou family immediately started currying favor with him as soon as something happened to them.

Such a vicious and scheming woman is not suitable to marry into the Zhao family.

At this moment, Meng Yuxuan suddenly walked over and said, "Madam Zhao, please don't be angry. It was all Meng Shu's fault. Our Meng family is also involved. I apologize to you and Young Master Zhao on her behalf."

Madam Zhao looked at the obedient Meng Yuxuan.

I have an idea in my mind.

This girl is not bad.

Patient and perceptive.

The key is that their family background is average, so they can manipulate things at will.

Thinking of this, Madam Zhao's tone softened considerably.

"This has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to apologize."

Next time you have time, please visit the Zhao family more often and have some tea with Auntie.

Upon hearing this, Meng Yuxuan was thrilled, her eyes lit up, but she nodded calmly.

This scene infuriated Zhou Piaopiao so much that her eyes seemed to be spitting knives, but Meng Yuxuan pretended not to see it.

Madam Zhao then said, "Alright, you can leave now."

After Zhou Piaopiao and Meng Yuxuan left, Madam Zhao became increasingly angry and called Zhao Wuliang.

After exchanging a few words, Mrs. Zhao angrily hung up the phone.

Judging from Zhao Wuliang's attitude, he's probably going to have to swallow this bitter pill.

But her only precious son had his leg broken by Meng Shu.

Who could tolerate something like this!

No matter who's backing Meng Shu!

She's determined to make her pay!

He then turned around, went to the restroom, and dialed a number.

-

The president's office at the Huo Group.

Huo Qi said, "Young Master, it seems that the Young Madam is in trouble."

Huo Qilin put down the documents in his hand. "What's wrong?"

Huo Qi coughed lightly, "I heard that the young mistress broke Young Master Zhao's leg."

Huo Qilin raised an eyebrow and said in a nonchalant tone, "Yes, he deserved it, and he did a good job."

Huo Qi looked embarrassed and said, "Young Master, the Zhao family doesn't know the young mistress's identity, which might be detrimental to her. What do you think—"

Huo Qilin frowned. "Okay, I understand. You can leave now."

Huo Qi couldn't figure out the young master's attitude.

He walked and thought.

Let’s take a look at the situation first.

If the young master refuses to help, he will go to the old man.

The old man will definitely take action.

No, he needs to hurry.

For the sake of the young master, we must not let the young mistress encounter any danger.

-

As Meng Shu was applying the medicine, the phone suddenly rang.

She glanced down and saw that it was Huo Qilin calling.

Suddenly, a mix of shyness and excitement welled up inside her.

I took a breath, calmed myself down, and then answered the phone.

His voice trembled as he said, "Hello."

"so slow?"

Meng Shu coughed lightly, "I didn't hear my phone ring just now."

Huo Qilin glanced at the Zhao family's bidding documents next to him and smiled thoughtfully.

"Mrs. Huo, I heard you broke Zhao Shalong's legs?"

Meng Shu chuckled, "You really are a sycophant. By the way, how did you know?"

Huo Qilin's expression softened as he listened to the girl's melodious laughter.

"Need me to help you clean up the mess?"

Meng Shuxiao declined, saying, "Don't worry, I can handle this little problem."

"That's true, otherwise how could she become a qualified Mrs. Huo, right?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Shu felt a flutter in her heart, a sweet and shy sensation washing over her, and she didn't know how to respond.

Hearing the rapid breathing on the other end of the line, Huo Qilin suddenly smiled.

After hanging up the phone, Huo Qilin called Huo Qi over and said, "You'll be protecting the young mistress for a while."

Huo Qi nodded; he knew that the young master would definitely protect the young mistress.

"Young Master, aren't you going to help the Young Madam?"

Huo Qilin smiled meaningfully, "You really think your young mistress is a pushover? You're underestimating her too much."

Huo Qi remained expressionless and nodded repeatedly.

"Go make me a cup of tea."

"Yes, Master."

Huo Qi walked to the tea room and muttered to himself.

"Young Master keeps talking about Young Madam, and he even says he doesn't care about her. Who would believe that?"

That's right, young master, it's like an iron tree blooming, he'd probably be too embarrassed to admit it..."

He never expected that Huo Qilin was standing right behind him, listening to all his rambling.

Huo Qilin interrupted him with a dark expression, "Did I tell you to brew tea with your mouth?"

Huo Qi was startled, "Young Master, you..."

Huo Qilin's face was extremely ugly. "This is the company. You are not allowed to call me 'Young Master' here."

"Yes, Mr. Huo," Huo Qi replied respectfully, a smile barely concealed in his lowered eyes.

Huo Qilin, whose secret had been exposed, was like a cat with its fur standing on end, both proud and ashamed.

"You are dismissed."

Unexpectedly, Huo Qi suddenly looked troubled and hesitated to speak.

"What else?"

"Um, young master, no, Mr. Huo, the young mistress's face is injured."
