The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 159: Gossip Again



Chapter 159

"Sister-in-law, that bitch was deliberately causing trouble. How could you not get mad?" Little Sister-in-law said impatiently before Rong Dai interrupted her.

Huo Mei Shu didn't say anything but nodded in agreement.

Rong Dai chuckled, "The Huo Family is very powerful indeed. Perhaps if I had brought up the Huo Family just now, that would make her pack up and leave the crew immediately."

"That's for sure!" Huo Mei Shu nodded vigorously.

Rong Dai smiled and shook her head, "Everyone understands that a mighty dam could be breached by an ant hole, but not everyone can restrain themselves."

Huo Mei Shu looked at her puzzled, not quite understanding what she meant.

"She resents me for taking her leading role. Of course she's upset about it," Rong Dai explained.

"I'm not a pushover that she can keep bullying," Huo Mei Shu said.

Rong Dai looked at the young girl earnestly and spoke solemnly, "This drama is the hard work and dream of Shao Jie and Lu Ye. The industry has high expectations for this masterpiece."

"On top of that, Shao Jie's status in the industry is also highly regarded."

"The Huo Family stands so tall. There are not few people who want to see the Huo Family fall. For ordinary people, this trivial matter could just be a small incident that can be settled then and there. But I cannot do that because I'm Shao Lie's wife and the daughter-in-law of the Huo Family. My every word and action will be magnified and scrutinized under the spotlight."

Rong Dai patiently explained to her. She had gone through so many schemes and plots in her past life in the palace. Yang Wanwan's amateur trick was nothing to her.

But now she was not alone anymore. She needed to consider the Huo Family.

When she first joined the family, she was already plagued with scandals, which had caused no small impact on the Huo Family.

If she continued to act on impulse, it would not only make people detest her but also the Huo's Enterprise.

She could not drag the reputation of Huo's Enterprise down just to satisfy her momentary anger, making them notorious.

"This will not only affect me but also the Huo's Enterprise."

"The Huo Family was able to attain its status today thanks to Granny and Shao Jie's efforts. I'm merely reaping what they sowed."

"Since I'm enjoying the benefits, I should also keep the family's interest in mind. My reputation is not important - my conscience is clear. I don't need others to affirm my virtues. But the Huo Family cannot afford to tarnish its reputation."

"The Huo Family had just dealt with the Wen Corporation. Although the Wen Corporation's downfall was due to their own problems, outsiders will not examine the details. They will simply blame it on the Huo Family, on Shao Jie's ruthlessness."

Rong Dai patiently explained to her. On one hand, she hoped Little Sister-in-law could maintain such innocence. On the other hand, she also hoped Little Sister-in-law could be more mature, so she would suffer less in the future.

Although Little Sister-in-law did not understand the sinister plots in the business world, it was definitely not less complicated than the scheming concubines in the inner palace back in her past life, and certainly not simpler than the rivalry between powerful families.

"It's true that the Huo Family is at its zenith right now. I'm not cursing the Huo Family to decline, but it's a very realistic issue."

"Any company, if it does not maintain its reputation, relies on bullying others, it cannot last long. This is the same principle as the prosperity and decline of a family clan."

"As the saying goes, the raging sun will eventually set. If every time I get into trouble, I use my status as Mrs. Huo to overwhelm others..."

"The other party may give in for the moment, but they will be upset inside, which could negatively impact other people's judgment of me."

"Patience in a moment of anger will not cost me anything. But their malicious joy will only harm themselves," Rong Dai said after hearing her words.

Granny, Mother, Eldest Brother and Second Brother would not say such things to her. She had been protected by them all these years, doing whatever she wanted and lashing out at people she disliked.

As a result, she had few true friends, even her best friend could betray her.

"Thank you Sister-in-law, I understand now," Huo Mei Shu said.

Rong Dai did not expect the young girl to fully comprehend these principles at once. But judging from her expression, it seemed that she got the gist of it.

The car stopped steadily at the hotel entrance. Rong Dai looked at the size on her suit jacket, took out some cash from her bag and handed it to the driver.

"Sir, please help buy a suit jacket for Director Huo and deliver it to him. Keep the change as your service fee."

Rong Dai felt a bit reluctant parting with this 5,000 yuan, but Shao Jie's suit jacket was definitely worth more than 5,000.

That's all the cash she had in her bag. She had no other choice.

The driver nodded and drove away with the car.

"Mei Shu, let's go up," Rong Dai turned around and saw Little Sister-in-law staring at her phone, anger that had just subsided was crawling up her face again.

"Sister-in-law, this bitch is so hateful! She's so good at promoting herself!"

Huo Mei Shu was so furious she could explode! Her fingers gripping the phone even turned white.

Rong Dai looked at the viral short video on Weibo that was flooded with criticisms and curses.

The video was cleverly edited to avoid showing the part where Yang Wanwan deliberately spilled wine on her. It only showed Rong Dai grabbing Yang Wanwan's wrist with Yang Wanwan looking panicked and flustered.

It made Rong Dai look like she was bullying Yang Wanwan.

Although it was an amateur trick, Yang Wanwan made use of her huge fanbase. In less than an hour, the Internet was already on fire!

"Rong Dai is a slut! Not only did she steal Wanwan's leading role, she even dared to bully others like this!"

"Right! This bitch is so hateful!"

"I really don't understand how the CEO of Huo's Enterprise can be so blind? What does a slut like Rong Dai have that makes her qualified to be a daughter-in-law of a prestigious family?"

"One sentence - terrible character."

Rong Dai just smiled at those vicious comments from netizens. She turned off Weibo and put away her phone.

"Let's go up first. Tomorrow is the opening ceremony. We can deal with this afterwards."

Huo Mei Shu stomped upstairs, eyes staring at her phone screen were almost shooting out flames!

"Sister-in-law..." Huo Mei Shu stood at the door, looking apologetic and hesitant.

"Don't worry, this will be taken care of. Don't be upset over such petty people. If you keep getting angry at them, you'll only hurt yourself. That's exactly what they want, isn't it?" Rong Dai said, seeing the young girl's indignant look. She wasn't even angry yet, but Little Sister-in-law was more outraged than her.

Unable to persuade her, Huo Mei Shu had no choice but to nod, "Then Sister-in-law, rest early."

Rong Dai nodded and watched her go into the room before entering her own.

As soon as she stepped in, she noticed the lights were on. She became alert right away and grabbed a hanger from the closet just in case.
