Chapter 270

"I feel deeply sorry for the two elders because of my cowardice, which made Zhou Zhou wait for so many years. And now, she is pregnant."

"I will do everything in my power to reassure the two elders. With me taking care of Zhou Zhou, she will be well and happy. Once I have recovered from my injuries, I will personally visit and apologize."

After a few seconds of silence, Zhou Jing spoke these words.

His words immediately caused a huge stir!

"What?!"

Before the journalists could attack, Qiao Lady\'s scream reached Rong Dai\'s ears!

She couldn\'t help but twitch her ears, as if they were itching uncomfortably.

When she saw this, Old Madam turned off the TV and remained calm, just as she was a moment ago.

"Xiao Ji, don\'t get angry for now. Don\'t let it affect your well-being!"

Seeing Qiao Lady turning pale and furious, Lu Zheng hurriedly patted her back to calm her down and asked Mrs. Wang to make some tea.

It took Qiao Lady about five minutes to regain her composure.

Rong Dai sat quietly next to Old Madam without saying a word.

The cause and effect of the matter were already clear. As long as Qiao Lady was not a shrew or an unreasonable person, she should understand that this matter had little to do with her.

Moreover, Zhou Jing and Qiao Wanzhou had already held a press conference, making their relationship publicly known.

If the Qiao family wanted to stop it, the public opinion would only crush them.

There is a saying that it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy one marriage.

Although this saying is not entirely accurate, Zhou Jing and Qiao Wanzhou had already made their relationship official.

With their large number of fans, even if the Qiao family had a strong background, they had to be wary of the power of public opinion.

"This... this defiant woman! Why is she so disobedient? She will regret it one day!"

Qiao Lady\'s hands trembled as she held the teacup.

Lu Zheng comforted her while Old Madam suddenly coughed twice.

Qiao Lady finally regained her senses and looked at Rong Dai with a somewhat apologetic gaze. "Rong Dai, Auntie is just anxious. If there is anything that makes you uncomfortable, please bear with it."

"When Auntie has resolved the family matters, I will invite you to our house for tea and make amends."

Rong Dai smiled lightly and shook her head. "Qiao Lady, there is no need to worry. I understand that you are also concerned about Miss Qiao. I also have my faults in this matter."

Although Qiao Wanzhou had already cleared her "suspicions" this time, she had learned a lesson. She absolutely should not interfere in similar matters in the future.

Otherwise, not only would it be thankless, but it could also invite resentment from others.

Fortunately, Qiao Wanzhou was not someone who couldn\'t distinguish right from wrong. Otherwise, she would not have accomplished anything good and would have caused trouble instead.

"Then Auntie, please go back for now. I will accept your tea invitation another day."

Lady Qiao stood up, holding her bag, and said to Old Madam and Lu Zheng, "I apologize for my abruptness this time. Please don\'t take it to heart, Old Madam."

Old Madam Huo nodded calmly and replied in a relaxed yet slightly indifferent tone, "It was just a small misunderstanding, and it\'s a good opportunity to teach our Rong Rong a lesson. However, each generation has its own blessings, and this era is not the same as ours."

Lady Qiao\'s face turned awkward, and she hurriedly left with her bag.

Although the misunderstanding had been cleared, Rong Dai did not leave the Huo residence immediately.

Lu Zheng didn\'t want to talk much with Old Madam and made an excuse to go out.

Rong Dai sat beside Old Madam and saw Mrs. Wang bringing over some floral tea. She immediately poured a cup and handed it to Old Madam as a gesture of respect.

Old Madam Huo held the tea and took a sip carefully, then finished the cup in just a few sips.

"Now you know fear?"

Seeing Rong Dai\'s cautious and obedient demeanor, Old Madam calmly asked her.

A guilty and self-blaming smile appeared on Rong Dai\'s cheeks, and she softly said, "I didn\'t consider everything thoroughly this time. I didn\'t expect things to escalate like this."

"It is said that it is difficult for an upright official to solve family affairs, let alone every family has its own hardships. We haven\'t even sorted out our own family matters, and you went to meddle in others\' affairs. This time, you\'ve learned a lesson, haven\'t you?"

Old Madam asked her, but there was no trace of reproach on her face.

Rong Dai obediently nodded. Indeed, she didn\'t consider the consequences when she helped Qiao Wanzhou in this way.

"Helping others is a good thing, but you also need to assess your own abilities. Help within the scope of your abilities, that is the prudent way to do good."

"If Qiao Wanzhou hadn\'t held this press conference today, the Qiao family would have blamed you for causing this incident, and you would have become the target."

"Stirring up trouble for nothing, exhausting yourself without gaining any favors. You should think twice before acting in such matters."

Old Madam imparted her wisdom and guidance.

"If our family were an ordinary family, doing such things would just be doing them, at most earning a reputation for meddling in neighborhood affairs."

"But the Qiao family is different, and you will be the mistress of the Huo family in the future. When you do anything, you should not only consider yourself but also consider the Huo family, understand?"

Rong Dai remained calm and quietly listened to Old Madam\'s teachings, showing no signs of impatience.

Seeing her sincere attitude, and knowing that she was intelligent, Old Madam only hinted at certain things. Saying too much would be pointless.

"I understand, Grandmother."

"It\'s good that you understand, but don\'t just pay lip service. You should reflect on these lessons yourself. If Wanzhou hadn\'t told me about this in advance, I might have been really upset by the Qiao family\'s visit today."

Old Madam nodded and looked at her with a gaze that was both loving and serious.

Rong Dai nodded and silently engraved Old Madam\'s words in her heart.

"What\'s wrong with Mei Shu? Why didn\'t she go back to her rented house at this late hour and went to your place instead?"

"Since you\'ve decided to focus on your work, it\'s best to devote your energy to it while you\'re young. Don\'t worry too much about other matters for now, but make sure to take good care of your health."

"Don\'t blame Grandma for speaking selfishly. Grandma has to consider the interests of the Huo family and also your well-being. If your health is not good, that little Shao Ting will definitely be restless."

Seeing that she was truly taking the advice to heart, the Old Madam changed the subject and inquired about her younger sister-in-law.

Rong Dai didn\'t conceal anything and briefly told the Old Madam about what her younger sister-in-law had told her last night.

"No wonder both of her brothers didn\'t agree. So, that\'s how it is."

As soon as the Old Madam heard this, she immediately understood.
