Chapter 419 - 419: This Lawyer’s Letter Was Sent Over by the Huo Family!

Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation

“Miss, the patriarch asked you to go over!”

Cheng Fanjing rolled over and sat up on the bed. When she was barely awake, she heard the servant’s shout from outside.

After hearing the servant’s shout, she suddenly became more clear-headed.

Cheng Fanjing immediately got out of bed and walked to the door. Then, she opened the door and asked the servant, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s about the articles on the Internet,” the servant said with a troubled expression. “You’ll know when you get there.”

Cheng Fanjing’s expression changed. She quickly changed her clothes and went to look for Patriarch Cheng.

Patriarch Cheng had been active in the business world for many years and was the one who had competed with Patriarch Yun for business back then. At this moment, he was sitting at the power seat of the hall, looking dignified without anger.

Cheng Fanjing knew what was going on, so she lowered her head and called out guiltily, “Grandpa!”

Ever since Tang Qidai was found, Patriarch Cheng’s health had strangely improved and his personality also underwent some changes probably because of his illness. For example, he was more lenient to the juniors.

During this period of time, he also granted Cheng Fanjing’s every request.

However, Cheng Fanjing was still afraid when he got angry.

Cheng Fanjing stood in front of him, not daring to raise her head.

Patriarch Cheng stared at her for a long time before instructing his subordinate beside him, “Let her see for herself.”

“Please take a look, miss.” The subordinate handed the tablet to Cheng Fanjing.

Cheng Fanjing looked up and saw the trending hashtags on the screen:

#ChengFanjing

#LinShanchu’sStudioSentALawyer’sLettertoChengFanjing

#HuoChaoshengLinShanchuChengFanjing

Cheng Fanjing only glanced at the screen and saw these unusually eye-catching trending hashtags.

Her vision darkened as she knelt down in front of Patriarch Cheng.

“Grandpa, Lin Shanchu’s trying to mess with me! She slapped me in public yesterday and told me to check out the trending list today. She’s trying to ruin me on purpose!”

Patriarch Cheng rested his hands on the walking stick in front of him without moving his eyelids. “How could she mess with you if you hadn’t provoked her in the first place and left some evidence?”

“Grandpa…” Cheng Fanjing’s heart skipped a beat. It sounded like his grandfather was not going to help her.

“Now that you have provoked her, you have to gain the ability to suppress her so that she can’t get up again!”

Patriarch Cheng knocked his walking stick heavily on the ground twice and said sternly, “But do you have the ability to do so?! In the future, don’t mention that you’re Cheng Zhijin’s granddaughter!”

Cheng Fanjing kneeled down in front of Patriarch Cheng. “Grandpa, I just couldn’t stand seeing Lin Shanchu in the limelight. I just wanted to marry into the Huo family and I didn’t think of causing you trouble…”

“Hmph! The Huo family!” It would have been fine if she had not mentioned the Huo family. However, Patriarch Cheng became even angrier when he heard her mention the Huo family.

He picked up the lawyer’s letter beside him and threw it to Cheng Fanjing. “The lawyer’s letter was sent over by the Huo family!”

“Who is it?” Cheng Fanjing picked up the lawyer’s letter from the ground.

“Who else could it be? Lin Shanchu’s boyfriend, Huo Xunzhou!” The patriarch deliberately emphasized the latter half of his words.

“You can use any means if you want to marry into the Huo family, but don’t let someone get a hold over you if you use underhanded methods! Has Huo Xunzhou broken up with Lin Shanchu? And you’re just trying to become a homewrecker?”

“Among my granddaughters, you’re the smartest, prettiest and most sensible. I was hoping to form an alliance with the Huo family through marriage, but you were the one who looked down on Huo Xunzhou in the first place! Huo Chaosheng has been ignoring you, and Huo Zhuxiu is totally submissive to Huo Chaosheng. I’ve advised you to give up on this idea!

“Good for you! Someone caught you red-handed for using these cheap tricks behind the scenes!”

Patriarch Cheng said those words in one breath. He heaved a long sigh and shook his head. “Forget it. If I don’t control you, you’ll really be ruined.”

“After your aunt’s engagement ceremony is over, I’ll ask your parents to settle your marriage. The elders in the family will have full authority to decide which family you are going to marry into. You just have to stay at home and wait for your marriage.”

“Grandpa…”

Cheng Fanjing still wanted to defend herself, but Patriarch Cheng did not want to listen to her anymore.

A servant walked over and helped Patriarch Cheng out.

Cheng Fanjing slumped to the ground, covering her face and crying.

How did things turn out like this?

Lin Shanchu was just a crazy woman from a small town, but she had defeated her completely.

Footsteps sounded in the hall again.

Cheng Fanjing slowly raised her head.

“What are you doing here?” Cheng Fanjing’s face turned cold when she saw that the comer was Tang Qidai. “Get lost!”

“How can you speak to your elder like that?” Tang Qidai bent over and reached out with a smile. She pinched Cheng Fanjing’s chin and enunciated, “Call me Aunt.”

Cheng Fanjing sneered and shook her hand away. “It’s been so long. Don’t you know your place?”

Other than Patriarch Cheng, no one in the Cheng family liked Tang Qidai.

However, Cheng Fanjing felt that Tang Qidai’s mental capacity was really strong. Even though she was hated by everyone, she still lived a carefree life in the Cheng family and even asked her grandfather to find her a suitable marriage partner.

“Of course I know my place, but you don’t seem to know your own situation.”

Tang Qidai stood up and looked down at her. “Cheng Fanjing, Father made it very clear just now. You won’t be able to marry into the Huo family because he’ll simply marry you off to some random family.”

Tang Qidai touched a sore spot with Cheng Fanjing by saying those words.

“Shut up!” Cheng Fanjing cursed angrily.

Tang Qidai did mind mind Cheng Fanjing’s curse at all and calmly said, “Lin Shanchu is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. She looks gentle and kind, but she’s actually the most cunning. But are you willing to lose to her like this?”

Cheng Fanjing could hear the deeper meaning in her words.

“Cheng Qidai, what do you mean?”

“If you want revenge, I can help you deal with Lin Shanchu.”

Tang Qidai looked into Cheng Fanjing’s eyes with sincerity.

“Why are you helping me?” Cheng Fanjing asked with a frown.

Tang Qidai sneered. “You have probably heard of the grudge between Lin Shanchu and me. I can’t bear to see her living so well.”

The two of them looked at each other for a moment before Cheng Fanjing suddenly laughed.

“What are you laughing at?” Tang Qidai frowned.

“Cheng Qidai, am I a fool in your eyes? You want to use me as a tool? No way!”

Cheng Fanjing got up from the ground with a cold face.

“Lin Shanchu isn’t that easy to deal with. I lost to her because I wasn’t as good as her. Grandpa’s health is not good, and I don’t want to do anything to anger him. From now on, I’ll only stay at home and do nothing else!”

Cheng Fanjing liked a life of luxury, so she wanted to marry into the Huo family and become Mrs. Huo that everyone envied.

But before that, her entire glamorous appearance was given to her by the Cheng family.

She would be nothing if she did not listen to her grandfather properly and get the protection of the family.
