Considering that she was outnumbered right now, it was better for her to avoid confrontation .
Huo Yunting saw the entire exchange from inside Lu Zhaoyang's room . His eyes flashed dangerously .
Suddenly, one of the maidservants threw an iron rake at her . The maidservant demanded loudly that Lu Zhaoyang start working and that it was part of her duties .
Lu Zhaoyang took one look at the rake and then walked over it . She left the maidservants without batting an eyelid .
Huo Yunting finally felt a little satisfied with the woman . At least she knew not to give in .
Knowing that she was returning to her room, Huo Yunting promptly left .
Lu Zhaoyang slowly walked back inside, but the incident with the maidservants still bothered her .
She did not want to stay in her room, but going outside was also not an option . She felt useless staying here, but old Mrs Huo would not allow her to leave .
What could she do…
Abruptly, she stopped walking and looked up at the sun, which did not bring much warmth today .
Everything around her shone brightly from the sunlight, but she felt like a stain instead .
Without her, her mother would not have to worry about being exiled from the Huo family, while Chen would never have committed such a huge mistake . In the end, she seemed to be the cause of all this trouble .
The sun was still shining brightly . Lu Zhaoyang averted her gaze and put her freezing hands into her pockets as she picked up her pace .
She was just outside the living room when she heard a familiar voice from inside .
It was Huo Yunting!
Why was he here? When did he arrive?
She had no idea .
Lu Zhaoyang gathered herself and buried all the resentment deep inside her before she entered the living room with affected calmness .
Huo Yunting was speaking with his characteristic lazy voice, "Grandma, I'm so busy at the office these days . If that sister of mine has nothing else to do at home, can I have her come back to help me?"
Before old Mrs Huo could respond, she noticed that Lu Zhaoyang had come in . The old woman scolded, "What's with your attitude? Are you not even greeting me now?!"
Lu Zhaoyang found that she was damned either way .
She would have greeted old Mrs Huo no matter how unwilling she felt, but Huo Yunting's presence had rattled her .
"Madam, I'll be in my room . " She greeted politely .
Huo Yunting noticed that she had changed the way she addressed his grandmother . It had usually been "grandma" .
Lu Zhaoyang barely moved when old Mrs Huo yelled, "What are you leaving for? Come here!"
She stayed where she was and ignored Huo Yunting entirely .
Huo Yunting acted the same and did not give her much attention . He lounged on the sofa sluggishly and said, "Grandma, I couldn't even find time to eat these days . Look at the black circles around my eyes . "
"We can't have that . You should eat and take care of yourself . No one can do important work without good health!" Old Mrs Huo was shocked to the darkening circles around his eyes and felt heartbroken for him .
Old Mrs Huo had always spoiled her grandson . She panicked when she heard that he did not even have time for a proper meal .
She threw a glance at Lu Zhaoyang . She would have preferred to keep her in sight at all times, but she was also worried that her grandson would tire himself too much from work .
