Chapter 115: The Lover Who Can’t Be Seen Clearly
The butler was silent for a moment and asked worriedly, “Did you dream of Madam again just now?”
Xi Cheng closed his eyes slightly and his thoughts returned to the dream from earlier. The woman’s back was slender as she sat by the stone table, sewing a piece of baby clothing. She seemed to have heard footsteps, so she turned around…
However, every time the woman turned around, his dreams would stop abruptly. No matter how hard Xi Cheng tried, he could not see the face of his beloved woman.
He stared at his useless legs for a long while and finally sighed dejectedly, suppressing the irritation and anxiety in his heart.
…
Lying on the grass and basking in the sun, she opened her eyes to find Huo You standing in front of her, looking down at her.
Huo Tian clicked her tongue impatiently in her heart, stood up, and patted the grass on her body. Without giving Huo You a look, she wanted to leave.
However, how could Huo You let Huo Tian off so easily? She put her hands out to stop her.
Her voice was as cold as poison. “Huo Tian, you actually have the cheek to continue coming to school?”
Huo Tian looked at her in confusion. “I didn’t do anything to harm anyone, so why would I be embarrassed to come to school?”
That “harm anyone” was just something Huo Tian said casually, but it hit the part that Huo You didn’t want for it to be brought up the most. Her heart suddenly contracted and she thought that Huo Tian had found out the truth about the kidnapping. Her entire body stiffened.
Seeing that Huo You didn’t say anything, Huo Tian muttered unhappily, “Looking for trouble for no reason.”
She pushed Huo Tian’s arm away and wanted to leave, but a few girls who were Huo Tian’s sidekicks blocked her way.
Zhang Min, her sidekick, had her arms crossed over her chest and looked like she was gloating. “Huo Tian, we heard that there was a robbery at your house. Your mother was also implicated by you and lost her life. Why don’t you look sad at all?”
Another sidekick, Wang Lin, pursed her lips. “Huo Tian has only interacted with her biological mother for a few months. Moreover, she used to live in a family like the Huo Family, so of course she won’t have too many feelings for her biological mother.”
Another sidekick, Zhao Yue, who was probably the worst at talking, could only echo after the other two, “Huo Tian, you’re too heartless.”
Ignoring the three clown-like figures, Huo Tian turned around and looked at Huo Tian. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “Are you here to seek justice for Mom?”
Huo You’s expression was distorted. People who didn’t know the truth would probably think that she had deep feelings for Ding Rong.
She gritted her teeth and said, “Huo Tian, you caused Mom’s death and even acted as if nothing had happened, coming to school so blatantly. Can’t I seek justice for Mom?!”
Huo Tian’s gaze sized Huo You up from head to toe. She shook her head and expressed disgust on her face. “Huo You, don’t you think you’re very ridiculous? Back then, you left your mother heartlessly and returned to the Huo Family to live the life you liked. Now, you’re putting on such a show. I really don’t know what you’re trying to do.”
Huo You clenched her fists and said coldly, “When our identities were discovered, it was a matter of fact for us to return to our real families. However, this doesn’t mean that I’ve cut off my relationship with my mother. She had brought me up, and I have the right to criticize you for causing her to lose her life because of you!”
Huo Tian clapped for Huo You’s indignant speech and said slowly with a strange expression, “I’m touched by your words, but did you get something wrong? Didn’t the couple from the Huo Family tell you after they went home?”
Huo You frowned, not understanding why Huo Tian mentioned Mr. and Mrs. Huo.
The truth was, Huo You hadn’t wanted to come looking for Huo Tian. The scheme by her and He Yu had implicated Ding Rong, causing her to lose her life. Huo You was suffering from this, but when her friends saw that she wasn’t in a good mood, they kept asking her what had happened. Huo You couldn’t help but say that Huo Tian had caused her adoptive mother to lose her life, which was why she was so sad.
Today, during the physical fitness test, these three sidekicks next to her saw Huo You’s figure. To help Huo You take revenge, they pulled her to find trouble for Huo Tian. However, Huo Tian didn’t feel guilty or sad at all despite being questioned so viciously…
This made Huo You feel that something was wrong.
Just as she was deep in thought, Huo Tian said curiously, “Your family is really strange. You guys clearly are not mutes, so why aren’t you willing to ask the police? You guys just went on to say that my mother passed away then came over to say a bunch of ridiculous things.”
Huo Tian seemed to have suddenly thought of something and suddenly became excited. “I can take it that you’re cursing my mother, right? It’s only right for me to beat you up, right?”
Huo You and her three sidekicks felt their hair stand on end when they saw Huo Tian suddenly roll up her sleeves excitedly. They subconsciously took a step back.
However, Huo Tian still walked towards Huo You.
Huo You’s brain raced as she tried to think of a reason to stall Huo Tian. “Wait… My parents were the ones who had told me about this! I was too sad to ask the police for confirmation!”
