Chapter 56: Sowing Discord

After school in the afternoon, Mo Zhu was picked up by the Huo family’s chauffeur as usual.

The atmosphere in the car was as quiet as it was in the morning. Even Xu Huan, who was usually noisy, did not say much.

The car arrived at the Huo family mansion not long after it sped along. Mo Zhu got out of the car before the two of them, carrying her backpack in low spirits.

“Brother Huo, what’s wrong with Little Bamboo? I feel like something is wrong today!” Xu Huan sat in the front passenger seat and looked out of the car window, at the lonely and thin background of the girl who had already walked far away. He said shyly.

“I don’t know either…” Huo Xuan’s expression was cold. He took out his phone and gave Mo Wu a call.” Find out what happened at Jingyang High School today. Find out everything about Mo Zhu!”

After giving his instructions, Huo Xuan retracted his gaze and looked up at the stunned Xu Huan. He said coldly, “Are you getting off? If you don’t, I’ll get the driver to send you back directly.”

“Yes, yes, yes, I am getting off.”

The moment the fw of them entered, Fang Ran ran over impatiently. She had gone over early after school that day to wait for Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu.

Fang Ran’s gaze changed slightly. She leaned close to Mo Zhu and pulled Mo Zhu’s hand after she had just placed her backpack down. “Sister, I heard that you had a conflict with Du Wei from Class Two today? Is this true?”

Fang Ran had accidentally heard a huge piece of news in school today. Class One and Class Two were on the west side of the entire corridor. When she passed by the back door of Class Two in the afternoon during class, she had heard the witch from Class Two, Du Wei said that she had personally taught Mo Zhu from Class Eight a lesson.

When Mo Zhu heard Fang Ran’s words, she did not react much. She shook off the girl’s hand and walked straight into the house, speaking coldly and mockingly as she walked.

“Since when did I have such a close relationship with you? It looks like you care a lot about my matters…”

After saying that, Mo Zhu even raised her eyebrows and turned to look at the girl. Her gaze and the words she said were filled with mockery.

“Sister, I’m just worried for you out of goodwill. Although the Du family isn’t as big as the Huo family, it can still be considered a prestigious family in Cloud City…” Fang Ran glanced at Huo Xuan, who had followed Mo Zhu in, and added.

“Besides, Du Wei is the only daughter of the Du family. She is extremely doted on by the Du family. If we provoke her and implicate the Huo family, it won’t be good…”

After saying this, Fang Ran was secretly pleased, but her expression did not change.

In Cloud City, the Du family’s assets and influence were comparable to the Huo family’s. She didn’t believe that Huo Xuan would still protect her without hesitation after learning that Mo Zhu had offended Du Wei today!

Unless Huo Xuan could really disregard the entire Huo family as the young master of the Huo family!

Facing this younger sister who always liked to cause trouble, Mo Zhu did not have the mood to accompany her to fight in the harem every day.

How dare she display such a childish provocation in front of everyone?

When Mo Zhu heard Fang Ran’s eccentric tone, she was in no hurry to sit down on the sofa in the living room. She leaned lazily against the back of the sofa and did not look up. “I don’t need you to be act as if you’re really close to me. You don’t have to worry about me even if I offend anyone. You should take care of yourself first.”

“Sister, you can’t say that. I’m really thinking for your sake!” Fang Ran followed Mo Zhu to the sofa and leaned close to the girl.

Seeing how ‘sincere’ she was, even Xu Huan, who had just entered, felt awkward.

“Oh? Then what do you have in mind? Why don’t you share it with us? Are you saying that the Fang family is willing to stand up against the Du family for me? Or…” Mo Zhu changed the topic, and her eyes suddenly turned cold. “Or do you mean that in order to solve my trouble, you’re willing to personally go and beg the daughter of the Du family for forgiveness? ”

“This…”

Fang Ran frowned and was about to speak when Huo Xuan walked over and cut her off.

“Ms. Fang, you don’t have to worry about this. No matter what happens, the Huo family will naturally ensure your sister’s safety. If Ms. Fang is very free, I don’t mind finding something for the Fang family to do.”

Fang Ran bit her lip. Seeing that not only was Huo Xuan not angry at Mo Zhu for this matter, he even spoke up to protect her, a hint of anger flashed across her eyes.

At this moment, Chen Man heard a noise and wiped her hands before coming out of the kitchen. Seeing that Fang Ran was creating trouble again, she rubbed her eyebrows and said loudly.

“Xuan’er and Xiao Zhu have reached home. Come in, come in. The food is almost ready. Wash your hands and come eat!”

Seeing Chen Man walk around her to ask Mo Zhu to eat, Fang Ran could not hold back her anger any longer. She lowered her head and pretended to be obedient. “I didn’t expect Auntie to cook personally tonight. I’ve long heard that your cooking is superb. I wonder if I have the chance to try Auntie’s cooking?”

When Chen Man saw Fang Ran’s hypocritical appearance, the disgust she had for her deepened. Initially, on the account of the Fang family, her attitude towards Fang Ran could be considered polite, but now, she could no longer tolerate it.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Fang. I didn’t think that you were going to stay behind and I don’t think I had cooked enough. Ms. Fang, please think of a way to settle dinner by yourself…”
