Old Mrs Huo was obviously trying to make things difficult for her . She would be blamed no matter what she did .
Xue Yuming looked at her daughter with apparent dissatisfaction .
"Mum, I brought up Yang Yang by myself but I rarely let her do any heavy chores when she was young . She can't do this well now, but please give her time . "
Xue Yuming smiled gently at the old madam .
"Just look at her, does she look like she even wants to learn? She is definitely up to something, preparing breakfast for me today . Don't think that I don't know she is still thinking about her man!"
Old Mrs Huo suddenly threw her bowl of porridge to the floor and then looked at Lu Zhaoyang . "I will not allow you to be together till the day I die!"
The old madam definitely meant what she said .
Lu Zhaoyang turned toward the old woman and replied calmly, "At the risk of repeating myself, let me just just say that I have no intention of being together with Chen . I can't help it if you believe otherwise . "
Xue Yuming wanted to slap her daughter for talking back to the old missus like that .
How dare she talk back and even speak of Chen so informally?
Xue Yuming quickly spoke up . "Mum, please don't listen to her…"
Old Mrs Huo shot a hard look at her that shut her up .
"Chen? Is that how you address my son? You should call him 'uncle'!"
Old Mrs Huo slammed her hand on the dining table and glared ferociously .
As wife to the late old Mr Huo, a man of great standing, she was also a tough character by her own right . Young people nowadays were seldom able to handle her temper .
Now that she was angry, the atmosphere in the dining hall became tense . No one dared to move a muscle for fear of stoking her anger further .
Lu Zhaoyang's right hand trembled . The broken ceramic in her grip made a cut on her finger . Crimson red blood began to drip onto the white floor tiles .
She inhaled deeply and slowly wiped the blood away . Then, she turned to the old lady and spoke calmly, "That was just my way of referring to him, there is no need to be so riled up, madam . Let me be honest with you . I'd like to see my uncle to see how he is doing . If you are willing to help me with this, I will never return to the Huo family and never see him again after that . I just want to see him one last time . "
"No! I will never agree to it! I don't understand why you refuse to admit your fault despite how serious this matter has become! I have never seen such a shameless woman in my life!"
Old Mrs Huo got angrier after realizing what her request was .
She stood up shakily and the closest servant quickly went to help her up . "You ruined my appetite! If I ever hear you mention his name again, I will make sure you're punished! Remember that you have no right to negotiate with me . You will never, ever see him again!"
After that, she left the dining hall .
The atmosphere in the dining hall relaxed after that, but everyone else in there continued to show hostility to Lu Zhaoyang .
Huo Zhening was in no mood to continue with his breakfast, so he stood up and left for work .
After the others were gone, Xue Yuming stomped toward her daughter .
"Will you never stop making things difficult for me? Can't you just be quiet and forget about Huo Chen? What were you thinking to even make such a request? Are you trying to get us both chased out of the Huo family?"
