Chapter 116: The Huo Family’s Reputation
Huo Tian stopped in her tracks when she heard Huo You’s words and asked in confusion, “But after your parents went to my house, they knew that my mother was fine. Why didn’t they tell you?”
Huo You’s expression turned very grim. “They’re busy with work, so they might have forgotten. Oh right, why did they go to the Ding Family’s house?”
Huo You knew her biological parents well. In their eyes, there was no pure kinship. If no interests were driving them, they would not have gone to comfort Huo Tian, who had lost her mother, because of the 18 years they had raised her.
Huo Tian said, “They thought that my mother had passed away and said that they wanted me to return to the Huo Family. I don’t think they want to take care of me at all, but I don’t know what their true motive is either. Huo You, do you know?”
The moment Huo You heard the answer from Huo Tian, she felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn’t believe that her parents would do this. Hadn’t they always looked down on Huo Tian in front of her? Didn’t they have a strong urge to chase Huo Tian far away so that she wouldn’t be an eyesore to them as the Huo Family’s failure?
But why? Why did they personally go to look for Huo Tian, wanting to bring her back to the Huo Family after they mistakenly thought that she had lost her mother?
The three sidekicks looked at each other, extremely astonished by this piece of news.
Zhang Min looked carefully at Huo You’s expression and glared at Huo Tian even though she was cowardly at heart. “Huo Tian, what nonsense are you talking about? The Huo Family already has an outstanding biological daughter like Huo You, so how could they let you go back?”
Huo Tian glared at this sidekick indignantly. “You’ll have to go ask the Huo Family about this. I feel the same way as you. I think this matter is very ridiculous, okay?”
Zhao Yue stammered, “Huo Tian, d-did you promise to return to the Huo Family?”
Without waiting for Huo Tian to reply, Wang Lin quickly said, “How could Huo Tian not agree to such a wonderful thing? That’s the Huo Family that has a few centuries of history as a wealthy family. It’s much better than the slum-like house Huo Tian is living in now, right?”
Huo Tian opened her mouth to rebut, but these people didn’t give her a chance to speak.
Huo You’s face was livid, and her eyes seemed to be burning with anger.
“Huo Tian! Let me tell you, don’t even think of returning to the Huo Family! I won’t let you steal my things again!”
At this moment, Huo You had fallen into the demonic trap of her previous life. Her chest heaved up and down as she glared at Huo Tian, wanting to tear her apart.
Even Huo Tian, who was usually bold, was shocked by the current Huo You.
“I didn’t agree to it, why are you so anxious?” Huo Tian shouted subconsciously. At the same time, she took a step back to distance herself from Huo You, asking hesitantly, “Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?”
It was also because Huo Tian’s gaze was fixed on Huo You’s head that Huo You understood what she meant. Her expression darkened and became a little distorted.
She gritted her teeth and said, “Huo Tian, you’re the one who’s crazy!”
“I didn’t say outright that there was a problem with your head, so why are you making personal attacks?” Huo Tian frowned unhappily and said with a cold snort, “I can’t be bothered to pay attention to your family of ridiculous people. Oh, wait, Huo Feng seems to be quite good. No matter what, the Huo Family had asked for a price of 20 million yuan for my 18 years’ worth of expenses in the Huo Family. I’ve already returned it to your family, so I have nothing to do with you guys anymore. Don’t come looking for me anymore, understand?”
“You rejected Dad and Mom?” Huo You was first happy, then she understood the other information in Huo Tian’s words. “You paid off your debt? How is that possible? The Ding Family definitely won’t be able to afford that money!”
Huo Tian didn’t answer. She shrugged and said impatiently, “You don’t have to worry about that. You just need to know the results. Why do you care about the process? What has it got to do with you whether my family can get our hands 20 million yuan or not?”
With that, Huo Tian ignored these troublemakers and left the lawn.
The few sidekicks exchanged glances with each other, then one of them asked Huo Tian carefully, “When Huo Tian left the Huo Family, your family even asked her for 18 years of living expenses?”
Huo You was thinking about something and didn’t think too much into her question. She nodded casually and said, “The Huo Family had carefully raised Huo Tian as their biological daughter for 18 years. The money they spent is unimaginable. This 20 million yuan is the price Dad and Mom set because they were softhearted.”
The sidekicks all fell silent. Huo You wouldn’t try to understand what these people were thinking and had forgotten about this matter in the blink of an eye.
When Huo You wasn’t around, the three sidekicks gathered together and sighed.
Zhang Min said, “Huo Tian is quite pitiful. It’s not her fault that she was brought back to the wrong family back then. She was fine for 18 years, but not only was she suddenly chased away, she even had to shoulder such a huge debt. Tsk, tsk, 20 million yuan. Ordinary people would probably faint from shock when they hear this amount, right?”
Wang Lin said, “Huo Tian has some backbone too. I just wonder where she got this money from.”
Zhao Yue said, “Didn’t Huo You say that she and Si Huan were together…”
