    Old Mrs Huo was obviously trying to make things difficult for her. She would be med no matter what she did.


    Xue Yuming looked at her daughter with apparent dissatisfaction.


    “Mum, I brought up Yang Yang by myself but I rarely let her do any heavy chores when she was young. She can’t do this well now, but please give her time.”


    Xue Yuming smiled gently at the old madam.


    “Just look at her, does she look like she even wants to learn? She is definitely up to something, preparing breakfast for me today. Don’t think that I don’t know she is still thinking about her man!”


    Old Mrs Huo suddenly threw her bowl of porridge to the floor and then looked at Lu Zhaoyang. “I will not allow you to be together till the day I die!”


    The old madam definitely meant what she said.


    Lu Zhaoyang turned toward the old woman and replied calmly, “At the risk of repeating myself, let me just just say that I have no intention of being together with Chen. I can’t help it if you believe otherwise.”


    Xue Yuming wanted to p her daughter for talking back to the old missus like that.


    How dare she talk back and even speak of Chen so informally?


    Xue Yuming quickly spoke up. “Mum, please don’t listen to her...”


    Old Mrs Huo shot a hard look at her that shut her up.


    “Chen? Is that how you address my son? You should call him ‘uncle’!”


    Old Mrs Huo mmed her hand on the dining table and red ferociously.


    As wife to thete old Mr Huo, a man of great standing, she was also a tough character by her own right. Young people nowadays were seldom able to handle her temper.


    Now that she was angry, the atmosphere in the dining hall became tense. No one dared to move a muscle for fear of stoking her anger further.


    Lu Zhaoyang’s right hand trembled. The broken ceramic in her grip made a cut on her finger. Crimson red blood began to drip onto the white floor tiles.


    She inhaled deeply and slowly wiped the blood away. Then, she turned to the olddy and spoke calmly, “That was just my way of referring to him, there is no need to be so riled up, madam. Let me be honest with you. I’d like to see my uncle to see how he is doing. If you are willing to help me with this, I will never return to the Huo family and never see him again after that. I just want to see him onest time.”


    “No! I will never agree to it! I don’t understand why you refuse to admit your fault despite how serious this matter has be! I have never seen such a shameless woman in my life!”


    Old Mrs Huo got angrier after realizing what her request was.


    She stood up shakily and the closest servant quickly went to help her up. “You ruined my appetite! If I ever hear you mention his name again, I will make sure you’re punished! Remember that you have no right to negotiate with me. You will never, ever see him again!”


    After that, she left the dining hall.


    The atmosphere in the dining hall rxed after that, but everyone else in there continued to show hostility to Lu Zhaoyang.


    Huo Zhening was in no mood to continue with his breakfast, so he stood up and left for work.


    After the others were gone, Xue Yuming stomped toward her daughter.


    “Will you never stop making things difficult for me? Can’t you just be quiet and forget about Huo Chen? What were you thinking to even make such a request? Are you trying to get us both chased out of the Huo family?”
