The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More Novel - Chapter 329

Chapter 329 Showing Respect to Her

He raised his hand and cupped his fists. He put on a respectful expression and asked, “Why do you say that, Ms. Xing?” Xing Meng smiled and pointed at Mo Zhu nonchalantly. “Do you know who she is? Her fiancé is the young master of the Huo family, Huo Xuan. Have you heard of him?” When Uncle Zhao heard this, his expression immediately changed drastically as his mouth fell open in disbelief. This girl was actually Young Master Huo Xuan’s fiancée? How could he not have heard of such a resounding name?

Although the Lin family did have a big family and some status in Beijing, they were definitely not a match for the Huo family. Besides, he had personally followed the Lin family’s master to the auction held by the Gao family the last time. Although he was far away and he did not see anyone clearly, he had seen with his own eyes how much Young Master Huo doted on his little fiancée. The Lin family could not afford to offend such a person!

Thinking of this, the man pondered for a few seconds. He turned around and bowed to Mo Zhu. He said awkwardly, “So she’s Young Master Huo’s fiancée. You look like a well-educated and reasonable person. I believe that our young miss must have done wrong today. All the things that happened previously were all misunderstandings. If you’re magnanimous, please don’t stoop to our level. When I return to the Lin family, I’ll definitely talk to the master about this matter. On another day, let the master bring the young miss to the Huo family to apologize to you personally.”

After saying this, Uncle Zhao did not want Lin Yan to do anything out of line. He immediately instructed his subordinate to bring the girl out of the dormitory. Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Lin Yan questioned him with a puzzled expression, “The Huo family’s fiancée? That’s impossible. She’s just a country bumpkin from Cloud City. How can she have such a high status to marry into the Huo family?”

Lin Yan was furious now. She blurted out what she was thinking without thinking about it.

It was not her fault for not understanding these things. This girl had been ignorant since she was young and was spoiled by her family. Apart from being arrogant in school, she was not interested in the trivial matters in these families.

Lin Yan had never heard of Huo Xuan returning to Cloud City to recuperate from his illness, so she naturally did not know that Mo Zhu had gotten engaged to Huo Xuan on behalf of Fang Ran.

In this case, she thought that Xing Meng and Uncle Zhao had recognized the wrong person. How could the Huo family not choose a fiancée for Huo Xuan from so many noble families in Beijing and instead, make him travel all the way to Cloud City to get engaged to a little girl?

Seeing how blunt Lin Yan was, Uncle Zhao lowered his eyes and took a deep breath. Then, he looked up at Mo Zhu and said with a smile, “Ms. Mo, Yan Yan is still young and ignorant. You must not take these words to heart. You are all classmates who are participating in the training at the research institute. You have to look out for each other in the future.”

After saying this, afraid that Lin Yan would say anything else, the man turned around and glared at the girl from an invisible angle. Then, he looked up at Xing Meng pleadingly. After receiving Uncle Zhao’s message, Xing Meng sensibly grabbed Lin Yan’s hand and smiled. “Yan Yan, it’s your fault for saying such nasty words. Hurry up and apologize to Mo Zhu.”

Since Xing Meng had spoken, no matter how unwilling Lin Yan was, she did not dare to disobey her. Her eyes were filled with anger as she lowered her head and said with gritted teeth, “I’m sorry.”

When Mo Zhu heard this, she raised her eyes lazily and looked at everyone. She did not continue speaking. She turned around and brought Meng Ran, who was standing at the side and watching the show, to look for their dormitory. After Mo Zhu’s figure disappeared around the corner, Uncle Zhao raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He looked at Xing Meng with lingering fear and said, “Ms. Xing, it’s fortunate that you reminded me in time about this matter today. Otherwise, if I really offended the Huo family, the master will definitely punish me heavily!”

Xing Meng nodded and turned to look at Lin Yan as if nothing had happened. She continued, “Yan Yan, please control your temper at the research institute in the future. Also, remember that girl from just now. Even without the Huo family backing her, she is not someone you can afford to offend.”

When Lin Yan heard this, she pursed her lips in grievance. She grabbed Xing Meng’s hand and sniffed. “I understand, Sister Meng.”
