Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Don’t Worry, Husband will Make the Decisions for You

His assistant, Qi Han, was equally baffled. Never had he seen President Huo leave a meeting halfway through—was it some urgent matter?

Qi Han immediately addressed the stunned senior executives, saying, "The meeting’s adjourned!"

Qi Han quickened his pace to catch up with Huo Yanting in the hallway leading to the office, unable to suppress his curiosity. He asked, "President Huo, did something happen? Do you need me to handle it?"

"No need, I’ll take care of it personally!" Huo Yanting picked up his car keys, his strikingly handsome face icy cold, and strode out of the office.

Qi Han was all the more puzzled.

Who on earth could be involved in a matter so significant that it brought such urgency to President Huo’s expression?

Lin Banxia crossed her arms over her chest and, after making a phone call, headed downstairs. Watching Aunt Li frantically chasing a few scattered bills in the garden like her life depended on it, she couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. Obsessed with money even at her age—she was running against the wind like a madwoman.

Aunt Li managed to recover most of the money, but a few bills had drifted into the nearby swimming pool. Clearly, she couldn’t dive in to retrieve them. Glaring at Lin Banxia, who was standing coolly at the door observing her, Aunt Li sent a look of anger and annoyance her way.

All this was clearly that woman’s fault—because of her, Aunt Li had lost nearly five hundred yuan.

Lin Banxia caught the resentment and disdain in Aunt Li’s gaze. She merely smirked. The real drama was yet to unfold.

Knowing full well Luo Mei was her mortal enemy, they dared bring her into the house to insult her? Lin Banxia wasn’t about to let herself be bullied.

Twenty-odd minutes later, a black sports car screeched to a stop at the villa’s entrance.

The car door opened, and Huo Yanting’s tall, commanding figure stepped out, striding urgently inside.

As soon as Aunt Li saw her young master, she rushed over wailing, tears streaming down her face as she poured out her complaint: "Mr. Huo, you have to hear me out! I swear, I had no intention of letting Second Madam and her group in to cause trouble—I was tricked! But this Miss Lin refuses to let it go, insisting I did it on purpose. I would never do such a thing! You must stand up for me!"

With a detached gaze, Huo Yanting regarded Aunt Li and her tear-streaked face. Without a hint of warmth, he corrected her, "Aunt Li, you must be mistaken. Allowing Second Madam to come here and bully the young mistress of this house? From what I gather, perhaps you’re too old for this job. The money clutched in your arms—consider it your retirement fund."

"Mr. Huo..." Aunt Li had been so focused on playing the victim and convincing Huo Yanting of her innocence, she’d completely forgotten about the bundle of bills she was clutching. At this moment, his words struck her like a bolt of lightning, leaving her face ashen and her body trembling. "Did you say... young mistress?"

Huo Yanting’s cold, ruthless eyes swept over her astonished expression. "Perhaps I forgot to mention her identity to you. But you should know—any woman who lives in this house is far from ordinary. Have you lost your mind? Allowing Second Madam to come here and humiliate my woman?"

Aunt Li froze on the spot, overwhelmed by fear and regret. She slowly turned her head to look at the girl leaning casually against the pillar in the foyer.

Could she possibly not be one of those insignificant women?

Aunt Li suddenly wished she could slap herself senseless. After so many years working for the Huo Family, had her judgment become so poor? She was absolutely wretched—offending the future young mistress of the Huo Family over such a mistake. Now she had truly gotten herself into deep trouble.

Without hesitation, Aunt Li darted over to Lin Banxia. Without saying a word, she knelt on the ground and began slapping herself on the cheeks, alternating sides. All the while, she sobbed, berated herself, and pleaded for mercy: "Young mistress, I was blind and foolish to fail to recognize your status. I was wrong, unforgivably wrong! I shouldn’t have been greedy over that small profit and let Second Madam in to harm you. Please forgive me just this once. I promise I’ll never anger you again!"
