Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 560 - 541 Settling Old Scores with Them
Huo Anya bit her lower lip, and in the end, she couldn’t withstand the old lady’s stern gaze. Reluctantly, she lowered her voice and called out, "Sister-in-law!"
Lin Banxia finally spoke up, "Grandmother, if she doesn’t want to, maybe it’s better not to force her."
That one sentence from Lin Banxia, fanning the flames, made the old lady even angrier, her expression turning more severe. "Anya, from now on, whenever you see Banxia, you must show respect for her. She’s your sister-in-law, and you have to honor her." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Both Huo Anya and Luo Mei’s expressions shifted momentarily, but in front of the old lady, they didn’t dare to act out.
"Mom, I’ll make sure to discipline her properly; don’t worry!"
The old lady knew that Luo Mei was generally more well-behaved, so she didn’t say anything further.
Lin Banxia glanced at Huo Anya’s unpleasant expression, and a wave of satisfaction welled up inside her.
These two—whether in her past life or this one—she didn’t like them. Besides, they’d done far too many repulsive things to her.
At this moment, borrowing the old lady’s authority to disgust them a little more, Lin Banxia didn’t feel that she’d gone overboard.
Huo Anya drugged her, causing her to lose her innocence in inexplicable circumstances. Luo Mei barged into her house with a gaggle of relatives to snap photos of her. In any case, Lin Banxia had meticulously remembered every single nasty thing they’d done to her in the past.
Following behind the old lady and Lin Banxia, both Luo Mei and Huo Anya were grinding their teeth in anger.
Moments ago, they were praising Lin Banxia for being kind-hearted; who could have thought that, in the next second, she’d deliver such a blow.
Huo Anya’s eyes had turned red, her expression close to tears from sheer frustration.
Because yesterday had been Huo Yanting and Lin Banxia’s grand engagement celebration, the whole family was required to gather at the old lady’s place for breakfast early this morning.
The mood at the breakfast table was as strange as ever.
Everyone harbored their own motives!
Huo Qinglin had already resigned himself to the situation, but his expression still revealed that he hadn’t come to terms with it.
After taking a few bites, he intended to leave.
The old man suddenly called out to him, "Qinglin, sit down!"
Huo Qinglin had no choice but to return to his seat and respond, "Grandfather, is there something you need?"
"I’m planning to transfer you to a position in H City. Do you have any objections?" the old man said with an air of authority.
Seated nearby, Huo Tianfeng showed a slight flash of joy—this was clearly a promotion for Huo Qinglin.
At that moment, Huo Qinglin was already deeply upset. Hearing that his grandfather wanted to relocate him, he naturally had no objections.
"I’ll follow Grandfather’s arrangements for everything!" Huo Qinglin agreed.
The old man was finally satisfied as he said, "Go there and train yourself well. In the future, more important positions will be waiting for you within the company!"
"Thank you for your trust, Grandfather. I’ll work hard!" Huo Qinglin cast a glance in Lin Banxia’s direction.
He had lost Lin Banxia and failed in this love battle—all because, in every way, he fell short compared to Huo Yanting.
If he had Huo Yanting’s status now, he didn’t believe Lin Banxia wouldn’t choose him.
After discovering Lin Banxia’s secret, Huo Yanting’s gaze toward Huo Qinglin carried a trace of vigilance and hostility.
Though those stories had taken place in Lin Banxia’s past life, the mere thought that she had once been Huo Qinglin’s wife—and might have once sat at a dining table just like this—filled Huo Yanting with unease. The thought of being far away from this woman gave him an inexplicable frustration.
After receiving his assignment, Huo Qinglin turned and left. The failure of love had ignited his resolve—he would prove to Lin Banxia that her choice had been a mistake.
