The hoarse, humourless laughter grates on the ears of everyone within earshot. Although a stupefied expression is displayed on the unfamiliar woman's face, deep envy and hatred swirl in the depths of her eyes. She glares at Huo Zaiyuan as though wishing to tear him apart, body trembling with rage as both hands clench.

"Haha...Huo Zaiyuan, you – you actually ask who I am... You...it's all because of you that I fell to this state! You are the one who harmed my son!"

Finally giving in to her anger, the woman throws herself at Huo Zaiyuan, hands poised as if to strangle him.

Fortunately, as soon as Huo Zaiyuan notices the madness on her face, he was already on guard. The moment she charges towards him, he leaps up onto his chair and kicks it towards her whilst flipping up into the air. In a flicker of silver light, he places a distance of five meters between them.

"You are..." Narrowing his eyes at the crazed woman, it takes him a while to finally realise who she is. "You are Zhou Huijiao."

"Heehee...unexpected, right? Never thought you would run into me? It's all your fault...it was foretold years ago that you will steal away Huo family's assets and try to harm me. Why are you so cruel? Even if you don't like me as a stepmother, but Jiabao...Jiaobao is your blood brother!!" Zhou Huijiao screams at Huo Zaiyuan.

Originally, the restaurant is already rather packed. But with Zhou Huijiao screeching and raving, a large crowd is drawn to watch the spectacle, though no one steps in.

Gazing silently at the woman, Huo Zaiyuan's face is calm and tranquil. On the other hand, Li Qing, who was half scared to death by the sudden yell finally reacts, his temper exploding. Stomping over so he is standing in front of Huo Zaiyuan to block this detestable bitch's line of sight, he scoffs coldly.

"Ai...old auntie, you really have no sense of shame. Everyone knew very well how you, this pair of mother and son, treated little Yuan during that time. And no one else knows it better than me. Even after he left home, you continued harassing him. After Uncle Huo's death, you immediately want to chase him out of the Huo family. Has your son ever treated Huo Zaiyuan as his older brother and shown him proper respect?!"

Li Qing has always been rather short-tempered. Even after suffering General Long's 'demon training' for more than a year and mellowing out a lot, pushing the right button will still be able to incite his fury. Seeing this Zhou Huijiao cursing his best friend, he naturally cannot remain calm.

"You...you are Li family's bastard. Our Huo family affairs are none of your business..." The words of whispered discussions surfacing amongst the crowd cause Zhou Huijiao's vision to redden in anger again. Spitting mad, she lunges at Li Qing, intending to slap him away.

Before her palm can touch Li Qing, the woman's wrist is caught by someone.

"Excuse me, Miss, please don't lay a hand on a customer of our establishment," the person states in a low tone, eyeing Zhou Huijiao warningly before letting go of her. A slender figure slips between Li Qing and the woman, protecting the two youths from further attacks.

Zhou Huijiao's expression becomes even uglier. Rubbing her sore wrists, she draws a deep breath and continues spitting out unpleasant words. "Who the hell are you?! What status do you have to block my way? Scram! Or else I will beat you up as well!"

"Based on my status as the boss of this establishment." The man's voice grows cold. "Drag this person who is making a ruckus out!!"

Immediately, two burly men appear to grab Zhou Huijiao by her left and right arm, pulling her out of the restaurant.

"Filth! Huo Zaiyuan...just you wait! You repulsive, disgusting child! Illegitimate bastard! I will definitely not let you off...!" Struggling against the man, she continues shouting at the top of her lungs. Simply judging from her speech and actions, it is as though she has truly gone mad.
