Chapter 225
"It's the thought that counts, you work so hard filming, these things can also be bought when we're back in Shenjing," Lu Zheng said with a smile. But she was looking over the gifts as she spoke.
She herself came from a good background. Although she had gone through crises after marrying into the Huo family, in the end she still lived a comfortable, privileged life and had seen many nice things. At a glance, she could tell the quality of the gifts Rong Dai had chosen - she had really taken great care in selecting them.
What Lu Zheng valued wasn't how much money was spent. The Huo family certainly wasn't short on money. What mattered was that Rong Dai had this thoughtfulness.
"Alright, I'll try these slowly later. You're not feeling well, hurry and drink the soup, then go upstairs and rest early."
Lu Zheng drew her gaze back, urging her to hurry at the same time.
Rong Dai could hear the deeper meaning in her mother-in-law's words. Her ears grew hot all of a sudden, and she shot Huo Shao Ting a shy, annoyed glance.
If not for this guy, how could she be embarrassed in front of her mother-in-law?
"Now, your mother has been through this too, you just got married, it's understandable to miss each other after a short separation, but you still need to restrain yourselves," Lu Zheng said with a smile, admonishing the couple. Then she called Mrs. Wang over to help move the gifts into her room.
Rong Dai felt both embarrassed and annoyed. Her beautiful eyes flashed with charming anger as she glared at Huo Shao Ting. Only then did she obediently go back to drink the soup.
When she was filming at the movie studio, although a nutritionist prepared all her daily meals and the food tasted good, in order to maintain her figure, she couldn't eat many oily, heavy dishes. This pork belly and chicken soup was extremely delicious. She sipped it slowly with half-closed eyes, like a lazy little cat.
A smile played at the corners of Huo Shao Ting's handsome face. He took off his suit jacket and went into the kitchen to pour her a cup of warm water.
"If you like it, let Mrs. Wang make it again tomorrow. Eating too much at night will keep you from sleeping well."
His voice was gentle and doting, and even the way he looked at Rong Dai was full of tenderness.
Rong Dai made a little murmur like a cat towards him. She finished all the soup in the bowl, then took a sip of the warm water, finally satisfied.
Lu Zheng came downstairs and saw the loving couple. Her heart was completely at ease.
"Mrs. Wang, I also brought gifts for you and Uncle Li, I just don't know if they'll be to your taste."
Rong Dai got up again and with some effort dragged another suitcase over, taking out the gifts for Mrs. Wang and Uncle Li.
Lu Zheng watched to the side. Seeing Rong Dai's propriety towards others, she felt gratified.
"Thank you, ma'am!"
Mrs. Wang accepted them with a smile, eyes full of joy.
"Alright, it's getting late, hurry upstairs to rest."
Seeing that Rong Dai was forcing herself and looking exhausted, Lu Zheng swept a reproachful glance at Huo Shao Ting.
On Weibo, she had been flamed to a crisp!
The reason wasn't anything else - it was because the flight was delayed last night and she had been out of contact at the terminal for nearly an hour.
This news had undoubtedly gone viral.
But the online heroes were more inclined to focus on the image of her and Huo Shao Ting kissing.
"Shameless slut! With the entire flight hanging between life and death, she actually still shamelessly kissed in public! Truly shameless!"
"Just seeing this woman makes me nauseous now, especially her pretentious face! If you've climbed into a wealthy family, just obediently be a rich housewife! Must you come out to trend every three days? Please keep a low profile!"
"What a seductive whore! She just married into wealth, how long has it been? How many times has she trended already? Nothing good ever comes of it when she appears!"
"Maybe this flight going missing was her doing too?"
...
The comments went on endlessly, making Rong Dai's eyes swim.
She simply logged out of Weibo and rubbed her temples.
She hadn't expected that in a moment of losing control, she would bring such great condemnation onto herself.
The officials had already confirmed that the flight losing contact was due to weather conditions.
Yet all these murderous heroes insisted on pinning this huge crime on her!
From Zuo Ran, to Wen Shi Lan, and later Yang Wanwan, she couldn't even remember how many times she had trended.
And it was more vicious each time!
Although the Huo family was hugely wealthy and powerful, they weren't royalty who could cover the sky with one hand.
Huo Shao Ting's previous thunderous methods could only silence them for a time, not forever.
Because these people were deeply biased against her from the start.
Rong Dai understood very clearly what the reason was.
To these ordinary people, Huo Shao Ting was like an emperor, while she was just a commoner who had married into wealth relying solely on her looks.
In other words, in their eyes, she was someone with no background or abilities, and that was why they maliciously maligned her like this!
