Chapter 201: Shock and Awe
“Your grandfather is getting old. After all, many things are not considered properly. I heard that you told your grandfather that you have taken a fancy to that boss of K-ONE?”
An Ning’s heart skipped a beat. Only her grandfather knew about this matter. Now that her mother had spoken like this, she must have known about it a long time ago. It seemed that there must be someone by her side and by her grandfather’s side.
As the matriarch of the Ouyang family, she had extraordinary means. It was understandable for her to arrange for a few servants to be by their side.
However, if this matter happened to her, her heart would not be so comfortable.
Moreover, it seemed like Huo Wanting knew the contents of the conversation between her and her grandfather. Now, she wanted to beat the drum for herself.
“Mom, this matter, this matter is something that I didn’t handle properly.”
“It’s not that you didn’t handle it properly. It’s just that I’ve seen that man called Yan Kuan before. One look and you can tell that he’s not an ordinary person. He can also be considered a promising young talent.”
“However, he has the eldest daughter of the Shen family by his side. That’s not a simple person. You’ve seen it too. Moreover, I think that you should have interacted with her before, right?”
After saying this, Huo Wanting turned her head to look at An Ning. Looking at An Ning’s somewhat angry expression, she secretly despised her. What a shameless little hoof.
“We have fought a few times. That mouth of hers really has the Shen family’s true inheritance. She doesn’t spare anyone at all.”
“She has the Shen family’s true inheritance? Hmph, you are still too young. How is it that she has obtained the true inheritance and doesn’t spare anyone with her mouth? This is because she has the confidence.”
“Once this woman has the confidence, she won’t be afraid of anything. And her confidence is that Yan Kuan, President Yan.”
After Huo Wanting finished speaking, she picked up the teacup in her hand again and looked at the peaceful expression as if she was watching a show. She didn’t know how to restrain herself at all. Her small face was filled with anger. This kind of girl who didn’t know how to control her emotions wouldn’t be able to develop her backbone even if she was raised for a long time. She would not be able to develop her backbone.
“That’s right. She relied on Yan Kuan. If not for Yan Kuan, how could she be so arrogant?”
Huo Wanting held the teacup in her hand and smiled faintly. She smacked her lips and continued, “That’s right. She relied on Yan Kuan. What about you? Who are you going to rely on?”
An Ning only cared about ridiculing and almost forgot that Huo Wanting would be waiting for her here. Her expression became even uglier and she did not refute for a long time.
“Ning’er, you’re already 24 years old. It’s indeed time for you to consider your personal issues. However, you also know that as the direct daughter of the Ouyang family, your personal issues are destined not to be as you wish. It’s not like you can marry whoever you like. Our family will not allow the incident from 20 years ago to happen again.”
When An Ning heard this, her entire body trembled. Huo Wanting even brought up this matter. What exactly was she trying to say?
“My eldest sister, Huo Wanyi, has been married to Huang Delong for 19 years. Because the Huo family is powerful, and because your mother is the matriarch of the Ouyang family, even if Huang Delong was unfaithful, he wouldn’t dare to embarra.s.s my eldest sister in the slightest. He even left the Huang Corporation entirely to my eldest sister to manage. Why was this so?”
“When my eldest sister was around, Huang Delong didn’t even dare to marry again. Instead, he took the initiative to push my niece, Yue Yan, to become the chairman of the Huang family. At that time, Yue Yan was only 18 years old. Why was this so?”
“It was all because she had a strong family backing her up.”
“As for you, Ning’er, whether you want a strong family to rely on or create it yourself, that depends on your choice.”
“However, since you and your grandfather have already discussed the Yan Kuan you want to marry, it’s not convenient for your father and I to say anything. It’s just that this path isn’t as easy as you think. That Miss Shen isn’t that easy to get rid of.”
“Mom, no, no, I didn’t discuss it with Grandfather. It was Grandfather who suddenly changed his mind and said…”
Huo Wanting directly interrupted An Ning’s words. Without giving her a chance to argue, she said again:
“Your grandfather is old, so he might not be so considerate in many things. Your three brothers have already made their own contributions. Sooner or later, your father will take over the Ouyang family. Originally, we delayed your marriage because you’re the only daughter of our eldest clan. But now that you and your grandfather have made plans, we’ll take care of the other things. It depends on what you plan to do.”
Huo Wanting’s threatening words were too clear. How could An Ning not understand? Because she understood, not only did her face turn pale, but she also hurriedly said to Huo Wanting, “Mom, Mom, it’s not, it’s not like this. Didn’t I discuss it with grandfather? Yes, yes…”
“Alright, let’s go. Your three brothers will be back soon. You don’t have to attend the party tonight. Think carefully about how to please President Yan. Otherwise, you won’t be able to explain it to your grandfather.”
“Mom, Mom, I, I, no, no, I am the daughter of the eldest son. I will listen to Mom and Dad. I will listen to Mom and Dad.”
An Ning was really anxious. Although she knew that Huo Wanting was trying to scare her, Huo Wanting’s deterrence was never to be underestimated. Even if she was trying to scare her, she was really scared because she was using the power of the Ouyang family’s next family head, or even the next family head, to scare her. How could she dare to pretend that she didn’t know anything?
Huo Wanting had a good saying. Grandfather was old, in his 80s. How many years could he live? Wasn’t she relying on her father and brother? This Huo Wanting was really a detestable woman. She was extremely detestable.
Huo Wanting saw that An Ning was like this and didn’t say anything for a long time. She deliberately looked at An Ning’s anxious and frightened look. This looked like she was venting her anger.
An Ning was not her daughter. She was the b.a.s.t.a.r.d child of that s.l.u.t who stole someone else’s life. However, the old man just had to treat this granddaughter as his own granddaughter. Not only that, he even let her husband, An Ning’s uncle, raise her as his own daughter.
Originally, she did not have any objections to raising another daughter. However, it just had to be that s.l.u.t’s daughter. It was already a huge favor for her to be able to live peacefully all these years. What else did she want? In her dreams!
She wanted to use her marriage to threaten her. She wanted this wretched girl to feel uneasy, to make this wretched girl live in fear for the rest of her life.
Looking at Huo Wanting holding the teacup for a long time without saying a word, An Ning knew that she was waiting for her to take the bait. In the end, she hardened her heart and knelt down. Ever since she was young, Huo Wanting’s favorite thing was to see her kneel down. Every time she knelt down… She would forgive her.
However, as she grew older, her wings grew stronger. She became a big star outside and became financially independent. Even the Ouyang family had to rely on her for support. Therefore, she really didn’t have much respect for Huo Wanting all these years.
Initially, she thought that Huo Wanting was nervous about her, or perhaps a little afraid. However, she didn’t expect that she was waiting for her here.
Moreover, she had to admit that she had really done it. She was indeed afraid. After working outside for a few years, she knew very well that without the protection of the Ouyang family, it was simply a dream for her to continue living like this. It would be strange if she did not get trampled to death.
“Mom, I, I…”
