Chapter 342 - The Master of the Kang Family

Seeing that Mo Zhu seemed like she wanted to do this the hard way at such a young age, Lin Yuan became even more confident after Kang Ting came. She stood in the middle of the main hall with her hands on her waist and raised her chin arrogantly, wanting to continue what Kang Ting had just said.

She did not expect that she would be stopped by Huo Qing just as she was about to flare up. Huo Qing looked up at Mo Zhu, who was acting as if nothing had happened, and secretly pulled Lin Yuan from behind. She leaned close to the woman and said softly, “Sister-in-law, don’t be rash. This girl is so calm now. Maybe she has a trap waiting for us to jump into!”

When Lin Yuan heard this, she lowered her eyes and pondered quietly for a moment. She stared at Mo Zhu for a few seconds and felt that what Huo Qing said made sense. She did not say anything and turned her head coldly.

Although Huo Qing hated Mo Zhu a little now, after seeing what this girl had done in the Huo family’s old mansion the last time, she knew that Mo Zhu was not a pushover. In places where others didn’t know, she still had some ability.

She wanted to see how this girl would break out of this trap. Seeing that everyone was looking at each other and not saying anything, Mo Zhu looked up at Lin Yuan and Kang Ting coldly. Then, she turned to Huo Tao and said, “Uncle Huo, why don’t you leave today’s matter to me?”

She glanced at Chen Man indifferently and added, “Both of you don’t have to worry about such a small matter.”

When Chen Man heard Mo Zhu’s words, she was worried that Mo Zhu might act on impulse because she was young. She frowned slightly and grabbed the girl’s hand in disagreement. She said in a low voice, “Xiao Zhu, listen to me. Be good and take care of Xuan’er. Leave this matter to your uncle and I!”

Chen Man could roughly guess what Mo Zhu was thinking, but this matter concerned the entire Huo family. She couldn’t let this girl bear all the responsibility alone.

Through Zhang Fen’s funeral last time, Chen Man knew that Mo Zhu’s true identity might not be as simple as an ordinary high school student. However, as Mo Zhu’s future mother-in-law, she could not sit back and watch the Kang family bully her!

Besides, the Kang family had developed quite well over the years. If Lin Yuan and Kang Ting refused to let go and insisted that Huo Xuan be responsible for Kang Ying, then the matter today would definitely not end well. At that time, not to mention the few of them present, even the entire Huo family would be implicated!

Knowing that Chen Man was worried about her, Mo Zhu held the woman’s hand back and smiled as she said softly, “Auntie, I hate it the most when others covet my things, let alone watch others bully my people. Since they dare to do such a thing, I must make them pay the

price!”

When Chen Man heard this, she looked at the girl’s firm gaze in front of her. For a moment, she could not make up her mind. She looked up at Huo Tao, not knowing what to do. The man followed her gaze and nodded. “Let’s do as Xiao Zhu says. She is Xuan’er’s fiancée after all. It’s perfectly legitimate for her to deal with this matter. Let’s not interfere!”

After saying this, Huo Tao came to the two of them. He pulled Chen Man and silently took two steps back to stand behind Mo Zhu. He patted the girl’s shoulder and reminded her in a low voice, “Xiao Zhu, don’t worry about the Huo family. Since you’re a member of the Huo family, everything you do represents the Huo family’s intentions. You just have to relax and deal with this matter as you want. The Huo family will always be your backing.”

Although Huo Tao did not know Mo Zhu well, most of it came from Chen Man’s evaluation and praise of the girl, he could tell from the girl’s actions that Mo Zhu was not as simple as she looked. She did not seem like someone who would do something she was not confident in.

Therefore, he was rather relieved to leave this matter to Mo Zhu. If this girl wanted to solve it herself, the Huo family would definitely support her with all their might. Everyone with discerning eyes could tell that it was the Kang family who had shed all pretense of cordiality and schemed against Huo Xuan. With such despicable people in the Kang family, they didn’t have to care about their past relationships with them!
