Speaking Openly and Frankly

Faced with Fang Biya's softened attitude, Huo Hai felt strangely unaccustomed to it. "Are you all right? What's wrong with you today? Are you sick?" Huo Hai stood there blankly, casually blurting out some inexplicable phrases from his previous life.

Huo Hai's appearance left Fang Biya both angry and bitter. She had already gone this far—what else did this fellow want? Yet, as if recalling something, Fang Biya still suppressed the grievance in her heart. "You... from now on, I can only live with you. I... I don't want to spend my whole life amidst quarrels and noise." Fang Biya's words left Huo Hai completely at a loss.

As a soul that had come from Earth, even though he had accepted some of this world's memories and ideas, he still could not completely adapt to its way of thinking. He did not know that, to Lineage members, the Lineage held such absolute authority.

Perhaps only someone like Huo Hai would not take things like a Lineage seriously. Even the Huo Family only mattered to him because of a few relatives he acknowledged. A Lineage and a family were two entirely different things.

During this period, Fang Biya had finally thought things through. The Lineage had indeed tolerated her earlier wilfulness. But because of her wilfulness, things had been stirred up to this extent, and Fang Biya could not disgrace the Lineage.

This was not merely a matter of the Lineage's face. It also represented the Lineage's reputation and interests. Even after she married out and was no longer a member of the Fang Family, Fang Biya would still remain connected to them. Everything she had received from the Fang Family before this—the kindness of raising her, the grace of nurturing her—had to be repaid to the Lineage one by one.
