Chapter 106 She Couldn’t Possibly Be the Huo Family’s Eldest Young Mistress
Huo Qinglin heard that she was scolded by Lin Banxia, so it was no wonder she was crying. He could only gently comfort her, "Alright, stop crying. That heartless and vile woman Lin Banxia, sooner or later, I’ll make her pay."
"Really? You’ll stand up for me, won’t you?" Lu Huan Ning immediately fluttered her supposedly innocent and pure eyes, asking pitifully.
"Of course. Even if she hadn’t insulted you, I wouldn’t have let her off. Do you know what people outside are saying about me now? They’re saying I was toyed with by a lowly woman and then cast aside like garbage. What a joke! Lin Banxia deliberately humiliated me. Otherwise, why did she wait until I proposed to her to bring up breaking up? Why not earlier? Back then, I’d gathered so many people to cheer me on. And now? My face is ruined. That damned woman, I won’t forgive her." Huo Qinglin was filled with resentment towards Lin Banxia.
If Huo Yanting hadn’t rescued her from the yacht that day, he might have strangled her himself and fed her to the fish in the sea.
"Qinglin, have you noticed? Lin Banxia seems different now, completely unlike the person she was before. Think about it—she never raised her voice at you before and always acted like a meek little lamb, fawning over you obsessively." Lu Huan Ning also noticed Lin Banxia’s drastic change, so she believed this must be part of a conspiracy.
Huo Qinglin laughed coldly, "This is just a facade she’s putting on. Do you see anything lamb-like about her? She’s clearly a tigress, daring to lash out at me. Oh, I get it now—she must have conspired with my cousin long ago to humiliate me. That must be it. What a terrifying woman, playing such a convincing act."
Huo Qinglin, spurred by Lu Huan Ning’s reminder, suddenly realized this was likely a ploy by Huo Yanting and Lin Banxia to make a fool out of him. The thought alone darkened Huo Qinglin’s expression further.
But Lu Huan Ning found it strange. "Your cousin? You mean Mr. Huo? How did he even get to know Lin Banxia?"
