Chapter 110 - Not A Good Match
Chapter 110: Not A Good Match
Ding Chen smiled insincerely. “Is everyone with the surname Huo trying to get involved with your family on purpose? Aren’t you being too narcissistic? It’s our Tiantian’s business whether she wishes to change her surname. If she wants to change it, we’ll go to the police station immediately. If she doesn’t, we’ll keep it. What can you do to me?”
Huo Tian also said, “Changing my surname is a small matter, but I don’t want to waste my time. Besides, I’m already used to my name. If I change it, I’ll have to get used to it. Anyway, there are so many people with the surname Huo in the world, so there’s no need for you to mind that I’m just another one of them!”
After hearing Ding Chen and Huo Tian’s words, it was as if the Huo Family was exceptionally petty. They would even fuss over someone else taking the surname Huo.
Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s faces turned green, but they could not refute them. They were so angry that they almost had hypertension.
At this moment, Huo Tian’s phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Ding Rong’s number.
Huo Tian picked up the call, her voice relaxed and happy. “Mom!”
Ding Rong’s voice was very gentle. “Tiantian, has the matter at home been resolved?”
“It’s been settled. The appraisers offered a price of 18 million yuan for that piece of jade. Si Huan signed a collateral agreement with us and we have returned the 20 million yuan to the Huo Family.”
“That’s good. It’s worth it then…”
Ding Rong’s voice on the phone was a little unreal, but Huo Tian felt that there was something wrong with Ding Rong’s emotions.
Huo Tian was a little worried about Ding Rong. She hung up and said anxiously, “Mom is still in the hospital. I’m going to the hospital to accompany her.”
Ding Chen got up to get his car keys. “Tiantian, I’ll go with you. Wait for me to wash up and change my clothes.”
After Huo Tian agreed, she looked at Mr. and Mrs. Huo and Si Huan as if she was chasing them away. “Uncle and I will be leaving later. There’s no one to entertain you guys. Are you still going to stay here?”
Mrs. Huo picked up her handbag and said with a grim expression, “This is such a dirty and dilapidated place. I want to leave as soon as possible!”
Mr. Huo looked at Si Huan. “Si Huan, if you don’t have anything on later, I want to have a good talk with you.”
Si Huan nodded indifferently. “Uncle and Auntie Huo, you’re my elders. I have to give you some face.”
Hence, the two groups of people left the Ding Family together. When Ding Chen came out after changing, he realized that Huo Tian was the only one left in the courtyard. He casually asked, “Have they all left?”
Huo Tian nodded and said in confusion, “That couple surnamed Huo said they wanted to talk to Si Huan about something. I don’t know what they wanted to say.”
Ding Chen did not mind at all. “Who cares what they’re going to talk about? It has nothing to do with us anyway. Let’s hurry up and go. Your mother is in the hospital alone. I don’t know if the caregiver is taking care of her well.”
However, Ding Chen had made a wrong guess this time around. The conversation between Si Huan and Mr. and Mrs. Huo was not only related to them, but it was also closely related to Huo Tian.
They found a high-end teahouse. After both parties had a few sips of tea, Mr. Huo probably felt that the atmosphere was laid out, so he said, “Si Huan, you probably don’t know why we went to look for Tiantian today. Your Auntie Huo and I did it out of kindness, but we were too anxious previously and ended up making a blunder…”
Mr. Huo glanced at Mrs. Huo, who immediately understood his intentions. She sighed and told him what had happened. “…Your Uncle Huo and I did it for Tiantian’s sake. We thought that she had lost her mother and thought that it didn’t seem appropriate for her to live with an uncle who wasn’t married. That’s why we wanted to bring her back to the Huo Family.”
Mr. Huo added, “On the other hand, it’s also because of you that we had such thoughts.”
Si Huan looked up at Mr. and Mrs. Huo in surprise. “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand what you meant. Why did you say that you wanted to bring Huo Tian back because of me?”
Mrs. Huo chuckled and looked at Si Huan teasingly. “You’re still pretending to be muddled with me and your Uncle Huo. Si Huan, aren’t you already with Huo Tian? When the police came to look for me and your Uncle Huo for an investigation, they said that you were Huo Tian’s fiancé. Both your Uncle Huo and I were shocked. Why didn’t you discuss this with the adults before you decided to spend the rest of your life together?”
Si Huan knew that Mr. and Mrs. Huo had a misunderstanding about the fiancé and fiancée situation, but he didn’t explain. Instead, he smiled mysteriously, making Mr. and Mrs. Huo even more certain of his relationship with Huo Tian.
Si Huan chuckled and said, “Thank you for your concern, Uncle Huo. However, I’m still unsure about my relationship with Huo Tian, so how could I get you to make the decision to bring her back to the Huo Family?”
Mr. Huo shook his head and sighed. “You’re still too young. You and Tiantian are in the midst of the honeymoon phase of your relationship and think that having feelings for each other is enough, but as someone who has been through this before, I have to advise you that a love that isn’t a good match will one day be broken by reality…”
