Chapter 710: She Learned Her Lesson Too Late
Shen Si had always assumed that Huo Xiang came from an insignificant family. Since Huo Xiang and Huo Yao acted like country bumpkins on the program, she became even more certain of their lowly status.
Even when Shen Si realized he was from the Huo family, it did not dawn on her that it might be the same family which her mother had told her about.
Hence, she did not stop her cousin when she posted scandals about them online.
Even when Huo Tingrui sent a legal letter for Wu Miao’s actions, she was only worried briefly before she quickly convinced herself that the Shen family was untouchable.
She even called Wu Miao’s talent agency and reminded them that Wu Miao had the Shen family’s backing.
Even though the talent agency was not keen on keeping Wu Miao around, it heeded Shen Si’s advice and returned the legal letter after she put pressure on them.
Shen Si merely wanted to send Huo Tingrui a clear warning by returning the letter. She wanted him to catch the drift and stop coming after Wu Miao. It didn’t dawn on her that it would cause the Shen family to become his target.
Her father was only a distant relative in the family and did not have any power in the main clan.
The Shen family only opened its doors and gave them opportunities owing to her father’s business talent. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have dared to claim that she was from the Shen family.
A lot of her father’s overseas projects were now in hot water. Even some of the local branch offices that her father was in charge of, were on the brink of closure. The Shen family was furious about this matter.
Although the Huo family was not located in the capital, they were incredibly well connected. No one knew exactly how deep their hands could reach.
They were even told that if the Shen family refused to apologize to Miss Huo, they would ensure that the Shen family would kiss goodbye to their status as the capital’s elite.
The Shen family did not even know who Huo Yao was. Shen Si only realized that they were talking about Huo Yao when she realized the trouble her father was in.
Only then did she figure out how shallow she was.
She was unable to dig up Lucky’s background not because he had low status. Instead, his background was deliberately kept hidden. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to survive all these years in the entertainment industry without having a single scandal.
Sadly, she learned her lesson too late. She had already offended them and caused huge trouble.
The more Shen Si thought about this, the more upset she became.
If she had done something to stop Wu Miao from posting Huo Yao’s information on social media or did not return Huo Tingrui’s letter, perhaps the Shen clan wouldn’t end up reviling her family now.
Maybe she would not have to stand in front of Huo Yao and apologize submissively now.
Shen Si inhaled deeply as she suppressed the thoughts running through her mind. She continued apologizing to Huo Yao. Moments later, she quietly looked at Huo Yao and waited for her reaction.
Huo Yao straightened her coat and said nonchalantly, “Are you done?”
Shen Si could not figure out how Huo Yao felt about her apology.
Huo Yao was in deep thought. She recalled her stupid second older brother saying that he would take care of the matter when those things happened on social media.
Was Huo Tingrui that good?
Was Huo Tingrui capable of making Shen Si, who hailed from the all-important Shen family, lower herself and apologize to her?
“What’s it going to take? Just give it to us straight. If it is reasonable, we will do our best to fulfill your wishes,” said Wu Miao anxiously.
As long as they could resolve their differences, they were prepared to pay any price.
