The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 25

When Rong Dai mentally prepared herself and went downstairs, she did not see Huo Shao Ting's figure. She quietly asked Mrs. Wang. After finding out that Huo Shao Ting had already gone to the company, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister-in-law." At this time, Huo ShaoJie also came down, followed closely by Huo Mei Shu.

Rong Dai responded with a sound and also greeted the two, but Huo Mei Shu just sat down arrogantly to have breakfast without any intention of acknowledging her.

She did not mind either, and was about to ask Mrs. Wang when she saw mother-in-law coming down the stairs too.

She immediately sat properly, thinking about how to speak.

Lu Zheng's face was still a little gloomy. The old lady usually had breakfast in her bedroom, so Rong Dai could only deal with her mother-in-law herself.

"Mom, have some hot porridge." Rong Dai immediately served a bowl of porridge in front of Lu Zheng's seat, and said gently.

Lu Zheng knew what she was going to do. She didn't say anything, sat down, took the spoon and started drinking the porridge.

Seeing her gloomy face, and Rong Dai's cautious appearance, Huo ShaoJie couldn't help but speak up: "Mom, my elder brother and grandma have already agreed to sister-in-law about this matter, don't pressure sister-in-law anymore."

Hearing this, Rong Dai was extremely anxious immediately!

Was this young uncle deliberately creating trouble for her?

It was one thing for her to speak up, and another thing for him to speak up in mother-in-law's heart!

Sure enough, mother-in-law's face became even more gloomy. She had to remedy the situation quickly: "I didn't discuss this with grandma and mom in advance, it was my fault."

"So you know it was your fault, I thought you didn't care about the entire Huo family at all. If I didn't know better, I'd have thought we desperately insisted on marrying you into our family. Walking around with a stinky face all day, who are you trying to show it to?"

Huo Mei Shu suddenly ridiculed her, slammed down her chopsticks, and directly got up and left.

Rong Dai felt embarrassed inwardly. She didn't expect the original owner to be so hated that even a girl in her twenties couldn't stand her.

Lu Zheng understood her daughter's temperament. Rong Dai was also very respectful of her during the first few days after she entered the door, but she had eaten cold face from her several times. It was not surprising that this girl with a bad temper would mock her now.

"I've already talked about this matter once, don't mention it a second time. If you dare to do anything inappropriate outside, don't blame me for not warning you in advance."

Lu Zheng's face was cold, she glanced at Rong Dai, took a sip of porridge, and her eyes fell on Huo ShaoJie again: "Settle those things online as soon as possible, it’s not good for your elder brother's reputation."

Huo ShaoJie didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He quickly responded, and Rong Dai was also relieved.

"Huo ShaoJie, take a look at the rubbish written online! She has completely disgraced the Huo family's face! Mom, you actually agreed to let her go to that kind of place?"

Just as it had just quieted down in the dining room for a few seconds, Huo Mei Shu came in with a dark face, heavily putting the tablet on the dining table.

Now Rong Dai had completely lost her appetite.

"Huo Mei Shu, do you still have any manners? Shouting at your elders at home?!" Huo ShaoJie was also a little annoyed, staring sharply at this sister.

"That's enough. Your second brother will take care of these things himself. What are you getting involved for? Focus on preparing for your trip abroad!"

Although Lu Zheng was displeased, she had already promised her son about this matter and could not go back on her word. She glared at Huo Mei Shu and continued drinking porridge.

Huo Mei Shu scoffed, and left with the tablet.

After breakfast, Rong Dai awkwardly went online with her phone to check the comments from netizens. The words were extremely vicious!

Saying that the young mistress of the Huo family was destitute and forced to take up acting for a living.

Even more hateful were those saying that she, the sister-in-law, was not there to help the young uncle, but that there was some intrigue between them.

Even such absurd rumors came out!

Rong Dai frowned, very unhappy inwardly. Although she really wanted to retaliate, she didn’t understand things online either, and could only wait for Huo ShaoJie to handle it.

She couldn't concentrate on reading the script. Thinking that this might affect Huo Shao Ting, which would also indirectly affect his relationship with Wen Shi Lan.

Thinking that she still had time, she might as well ask Wen Shi Lan out to meet and take the opportunity to explain things clearly for Huo Shao Ting, to avoid any misunderstandings between them. Otherwise she really would have to roll up her bedding and leave the Huo family!

She flipped through her phonebook, and didn't have Wen Shi Lan's number. She dialed the number displayed when Huo Shao Ting answered the call last night, based on her memory.

"May I ask who's calling?" Wen Shi Lan's voice came from the other end of the phone. She sounded a little aggrieved and choked up.

Could it be that she was unhappy with Huo Shao Ting?

Rong Dai immediately became nervous in her heart, took a deep breath quietly, and made her words sound as gentle as possible: "Is this Miss Wen? I'm Rong Dai."

Hearing this, Wen Shi Lan's eyes were about to spout fire!

This cheap woman! She actually still had the nerve to call her!? Was it to mock her?!

Wen Shi Lan's face was ferocious with anger, but she suppressed her emotions to calm herself down: "What do you want?"

Hearing her unfriendly tone, Rong Dai sighed helplessly in her heart: "It's like this, there are some things I want to tell you in person. I wonder if you are free now? How about we meet somewhere?"

Wen Shi Lan had a stomach full of anger with nowhere to vent. Since the other party had come knocking, she had no reason not to accept!

She immediately smiled: "Sure, I also have some things I want to say to you."

She didn't expect this insignificant Rong Dai to have such great abilities, to make Shao Ting fire her from the company!

She had put in so much effort and dedication back then to be able to stay by his side!

And now, just because of this cheap woman, her efforts had all been in vain. How could she possibly let this cheap woman off easy?!

She then named a place. After Rong Dai wrote it down, she went back to the bedroom to change her clothes. Just as she was about to leave, she remembered that she didn't have a penny on her.

Since she was the one who wanted to explain things to Wen Shi Lan, if they ate something, she really shouldn't make others pay, right?

She thought about it, went upstairs to get 1,000 yuan from Huo ShaoJie, and recorded it in her phone ledger before leaving.

She arrived at the destination early. This was the first time she went out alone. Looking at this bustling metropolis, she was full of novelty and yearning for the future.

She waited for about half an hour before Wen Shi Lan leisurely showed up late. She left a small box at the front desk which Rong Dai didn't pay much attention to.

Wen Shi Lan followed the waiter over. Seeing Rong Dai sitting gracefully in the private room, she was furious again!

She didn't expect a destitute cheap woman to be able to gain the favor of the Huo family, and be completely unharmed after she went through so much trouble last night!

Wen Shi Lan didn't know that her little tricks had long been seen through by Lu Zheng. Last night when she was talking to Madam Huo, Lu Zheng had her phone on, allowing Huo Shao Ting to hear their entire conversation.

Huo Shao Ting was not one of those impulsive youths in their twenties. His methods were ruthless and decisive, with astute intelligence. Of course he understood the meaning behind Lu Zheng's actions, so he fired Wen Shi Lan first thing in the morning when he got to the company.
