Chapter 159: Defending Her
Ha, just thinking about that scumbag made Lin Banxia furious, so she decided not to dwell on it any longer.
Her beautiful eyes unintentionally swept toward the doorway—who could be calling Huo Yanting?
At the end of the corridor outside the door, the tall figure of a man stood silently.
The matter of Huo Yanting rescuing Lin Banxia had quickly reached Mrs. Huo’s ears, and naturally, she had to call to scold him.
"You brought that shameless woman away?" Mrs. Huo’s voice was filled with dissatisfaction. She believed Huo Yanting shouldn’t waste his time on such trivial matters, as it diminished his status as an aristocratic young master.
Huo Yanting replied in his usual indifferent tone, "Thank you, Grandma, for showing mercy and not beating her to death."
"Hmph, Yanting, let me ask you—have you truly developed feelings for this woman?" Mrs. Huo was utterly furious. She couldn’t bear to see her grandson showing real emotions toward Lin Banxia. Playing around was one thing, but having genuine feelings? That she couldn’t accept.
"Grandma, from now on, you don’t need to concern yourself with matters between Banxia and me. I also ask that you not have others discipline her anymore. If my woman makes a mistake, I’ll handle it myself—it’s not anyone else’s place to intervene. If anyone dares to cross me to teach my woman a lesson again, don’t blame me for being merciless." Even toward his own grandmother, Huo Yanting was visibly angry today.
Lin Banxia was his wife now. Hitting his wife was akin to slapping him in the face.
Mrs. Huo could hear the fury and warning in her grandson’s words, and she snorted louder in frustration. "You actually consider her your woman? Yanting, your taste is truly poor! I’ve been urging you to find a proper girlfriend and settle down, and after all this time, you’ve not chosen a young lady from a matching family but instead picked this piece of trash—a secondhand good your brother discarded. Are you trying to deliberately anger your grandmother to death?"
"Grandma, relax. Speaking of trash, who could be worse than Huo Qinglin? You know full well how many women he’s been involved with. Banxia’s purity belongs to me, and I can guarantee she’s absolutely not some secondhand good." Huo Yanting kept his patience and argued back.
"Whether she’s firsthand or secondhand, it doesn’t matter—I just don’t like her."
