Unfortunately, who knew that Zhao Ning would be so angry? She actually died later, causing Old Master Huo to leave a will before he died, insisting that Lin Rong could not enter the family, saying that he wanted to give the Zhao Family an explanation.
However, Lin Rong did not care if she could become Mrs. Huo now. She ate well, lived well, and lived a comfortable life.
The key was that although Huo Huai was not married to her, he did not have any other women outside.
Therefore, as long as her son was obedient and could inherit Huo Huai’s a.s.sets in the future, it was enough.
However, it was obvious that Huo Bing wanted more than that, so Lin Rong was worried that Huo Bing would get into a conflict with Old Madam Huo.
Old Madam Huo was a ruthless person. Lin Rong did not think that Huo Bing could defeat Old Madam Huo. Even Huo Huai had been obedient in front of Old Madam Huo for decades.
Also, six years ago, Old Madam Huo could beat Huo Bing to death for a small matter.
Otherwise, why had she been looking forward to Huo Huai resisting Old Madam Huo for her? It was because she was looking forward to her husband having the courage to stand up and protect their son when something happened in the future.
However, from the looks of it now, the hope was a little slim.
“Xiao Bing, just listen to me, okay? Don’t covet your Grandma’s things and learn from your father obediently, okay?” Lin Rong instructed worriedly.
Huo Bing didn’t agree in his heart, but he didn’t want Lin Rong to nag at him, so he could only nod and say, “Okay, I understand. I’ll be honest. Don’t worry.” Only then did Lin Rong smile in relief. “That’s my good son.”
After dinner, Old Madam Huo held Huo Ge’s hand and said, “Xiao Ge, Grandma saw that you were staring at that young lady from the Mu Family today. Are you interested in her?”
Huo Ge did not hide it and said frankly, “Yes, she’s good-looking! I like good-looking girls.”
Old Madam Huo looked at her obedient grandson reproachfully. “Why do you
only see that she’s good-looking? Is there nothing else? If she’s the wife of the head of the Huo Family, she can’t only be good-looking.”
Lin Yin’s appearance flashed through Huo Ge ls mind. Some words about Lin Yin flashed through his mind. She was courageous, cunning, flexible, decisive, and smart…
However, in the end, only beauty was left. “Grandma, I’ve only met her once.
Other than knowing that she’s beautiful, what else can I know?”
Old Madam Huo nodded in agreement. “You make sense, so didn’t Grandma fight for a chance for you? In a few days, we’ll invite the Mu Family over to play. Firstly, we want to thank the Mu Family for saving you this time.
Secondly, Grandma also wants to see more of this Miss Mu.”
As Old Madam Huo spoke, she turned to look at Huo Huai, who had been sitting beside her out of boredom. She said coldly, “You’ll be the one to invite the Mu family.”
Huo Huai seemed to have suddenly come back to his senses and asked in confusion, “The Mu family? Which Mu family?”
Looking at her son, who was not in a good state at all, Old Madam Huo really had an urge to pick up a chair and knock her son’s head.
“Which Mu Family can it be? It’s naturally the Mu Family of the eight great families in the capital! ” Old Madam Huo said frustratedly.
“Why did you invite the Mu family over for no reason? There has to be a reason, right? Otherwvise, it would be so awkward,” Huo Huai said with a frown.
Old Madam Huo sighed softly and looked at her son. “Since you know, go and make the arrangements. Don’t you know what the reason is? Didn’t she save your son? Besides, isn’t a festival happening soon? Isn’t it a good reason to bring the young ladies and young men from the Huo Family’s side branches over and invite the young people from these families to play? We can also discuss a new project. How good is that?!”
Huo Huai nodded. “That’s true. On the first day of spring, the Gong Family invited many people to admire the flowers and signed many good projects on the spot.”
Old Madam Huo frowned slightly. No wonder she could control her son for so many years.
Forget it. Obedience was one of Huo Huai’s strengths. Old Madam Huo felt that she could not be too harsh. After all, he was her biological son.
“By the way, remember to invite those little children of the Mu Family, especially the youngest daughter that the Mu Family has just found, understand?” Old Madam Huo instructed worriedly.
Huo Huai asked in surprise, ‘Mu Cheng found his daughter? Didn’t they say that she had already fallen into the water and her corpse was eaten by the fish? How could she still be found?”
