Huo Ge met Grandma’s gaze with a smile, and the old lady’s personal butler,
Ming Yu, Imocked lightly on the door and entered. She said gently, “Old Madam, there’s a bunch of young masters and young ladies gathered at the entrance of the courtyard. I’m guessing that those young masters and young ladies want to visit you but don’t dare to come in? Do you think we should invite them in?”
Although Mingyu did not believe it herself, she could not find any better explanation.
Old Madam Huo frowned. “Don’t they usually avoid me? What’s going on
tonight? They actually took the initiative to come to my side?”
Old Madam Huo knew her reputation among these young people from aristocratic families, so she did not think that those young people would have the mood to visit her.
Huo Ge explained, “Grandma, you don’t know. Just now, in the banquet hall, they made a bet on whether you would chase Lin Yin out of the Huo Family when she came in. I reckon that they’re surrounding Grandma now because they want to see Lin Yin being chased out.”
Ming Yu was a little stunned. She did not expect someone to dare to bet on the Huo Family.
In the capital, other than the Lu Family, the Mu Family, and the Wei Family, which were evenly matched, the fourth was the Huo Family.
In addition, the old lady had a bad temper, so in Ming Yu’s opinion, these young people were bold enough to use Old Madam Huo as a part of the bet.
Ming Yu even looked at Lin Yin with pity. She seemed to be able to predict Lin Yin’s outcome. Perhaps not only Lin Yin, but even the juniors who participated in the bet would be chased out.
However, Ming Yu never expected that Old Madam Huo in front of her did not show any signs of anger. Instead, she looked at Lin Yin kindly and asked with a smile, “Yinyin, is that so? Did you make a bet with them?”
Lin Yin didn’t hide anything and nodded. “Yes, Grandma Huo.”
Old Madam Huo held Lin Yin’s hand and smiled dotingly. “You smart girl, you know very well that Grandma won’t chase you out. Aren’t you going to win?
Lin Yin did not comment and only said matter-of-factly, “But in their understanding, you will definitely chase me out. Therefore, they deliberately initiated the bet and even felt that they would definitely win!”
Old Madam Huo looked at Lin Yin and could tell what she meant. She was even more happy for Lin Yin and felt that Lin Yin was steady and ruthless.
She liked Lin Yin even more. Only a girl like her could be worthy of being the mistress of the Huo Family.
Back then, she was also very happy with Zhao Ning. She thought that girls had to be gentler, have good conduct, and be gentle and considerate. Only then could the family be harmonious.
However, she did not expect that such a beautiful, kind, and docile young lady would be so weak that she would have a miscarriage after being provoked by a mistress and be abandoned by a man.
Therefore, Old Madam Huo’s mindset had completely changed. The mistress of a family had to have a stable personality and a tenacious heart. She had to be more powerful when she could counterattack in the face of the enemy’s provocation. It was not that she could not protect herself and even exhaust herself internally. In the end, she had to be miserable and gave up on herself.
“Yes! They’re extremely stupid. Then Grandma will go out and support you now!” Old Madam Huo’s voice was filled with love for Lin Yin.
With that, Old Madam Huo stood up energetically and reached out to Lin Yin, who was still in her seat. “Come, Yinyin, go out with Grandma.”
Lin Yin only wanted to stay with Old Madam Huo for a while longer and then go out to slap the faces of those who wanted to bully her.
However, she did not expect her to be able to invite Old Madam Huo out immediately.
Lin Yin was a little hesitant. Huo Ge, on the other hand, reached out and pulled Lin Yin up rudely, scaring her so much that she almost hit him.
Huo Ge’s hand that was holding Lin Yin paused for a few seconds when she glared at him. Just as he was about to let go, he immediately reacted. What was he afraid of?
Hence, under Lin Yin’s angry gaze, Huo Ge deliberately straightened his chest and grabbed Lin Yin’s arm again.
Old Madam Huo was even more satisfied when she saw Lin Yin glaring at Huo
If Zhao Ning had been able to control Huo Huai back then, there would not have been so many troubles later on.
