Chapter 160 Huo Anya Begins to Feel Afraid
"That annoying little brat is driving me insane! She actually bewitched Yan Ting into speaking up for her. That little witch—leaving her alive was a mistake." The old lady grew angrier the more she thought about it.
Luo Mei, standing nearby, silently lamented. If she’d known, she would have struck harder.
"Mom, Yan Ting usually acts so mature and composed, always steady and thoughtful. How could he be fooled by a little vixen now? Even dared to talk back to you? So unfilial!" Luo Mei seized the opportunity to stomp all over Huo Yanting’s reputation.
The old lady’s face twisted in frustration, and she gritted her teeth. "That woman must have put on some pitiful act in front of him to gain his sympathy. Yan Ting may not be the wandering type, but once his emotions are engaged, he’s as stubborn as a mule."
"Grandma, do you mean... Cousin Yanting has feelings for Lin Banxia? No way. If that’s true, does it mean he might actually marry her someday? But after what we did to her today, if she does marry into the family and turns against us—thinking about it just gives me chills." Huo Anya’s talent for stirring the pot was clearly inherited from her mother.
Still fuming, the old lady lost her hold on reason and snapped, "Like hell she will! There’s no way she’ll set foot in my Huo family’s door! I’ll break her legs if she dares."
"Grandma, you must hold firm. We all know Lin Banxia is no good—she only uses those sly tricks to seduce men. We can’t let her marry into the Huo family. If she does, it’ll spell the end for us." Huo Anya, adopting a serious and concerned tone, urged the old lady.
The old lady shot her a sharp look. "You think I’m senile? I’m perfectly calm. Enough now, all of you leave; I need a nap."
Luo Mei and her daughter had no choice but to quietly step out.
The mother and daughter took the garden path, planning to return home.
