Chapter 147: Different Friends
The company’s product launch and Si Huan’s banquet had already passed, but their influences were huge.
Many students in the school looked at Huo Tian differently. In the past, they had thought that Huo Tian was just a fake young miss who had been chased away by the Huo Family. She was like an ugly duckling who had been adopted by swans by chance and was eventually beaten back to her original form, returning to her original destiny.
However, people now realize that the ugly duckling in their hearts turned out to be like a phoenix that had been reborn from the ashes and had returned to upper society.
“Huo Tian? How have you been recently? If you’re not doing well at your biological mother’s house, tell us. We’ve been good friends for many years. I’ll definitely help you…”
“Huo Tian, come out to play this weekend. It’s with the same people as before…”
“Huo Tian…”
…
When Huo Tian was walking in school, people would often warmly call out to her and say some strange things. Each time, she would have to think for a long time before she could recall the names of these people and their relationship with the original Huo Tian.
“So annoying! Ahhhhhh…” Huo Tian ruffled her purple hair in frustration and leaned weakly on Si Huan’s shoulder, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.
“Why are they suddenly so passionate towards me? I thought we were friends in the past, but after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn’t find any proof of friendship with them! In the past, I always ate and drank with them. It’s a complete waste of my life!”
“I remember that you often bullied people in school with those people when you were in the first year. Why, aren’t they your friends?”
Si Huan recalled the few times he had seen Huo Tian in her first year of high school and couldn’t help but laugh. The punk makeup style which he used to think was a horrible sight for the eyes now seemed a little adorable.
“Of course I’m not friends with them!” Huo Tian bumped Si Huan’s shoulder like they were brothers. “I’m good friends with you and Bi Ying!”
Si Huan put down the documents he was sorting and turned to look at Huo Tian, who was leaning against him. He asked meaningfully, “In your heart, are you and I really just friends?”
Huo Tian suddenly felt a little guilty, but she didn’t know why she was feeling so. Hence, she put on a strong appearance despite feeling weak inside, saying, “Of course.”
“Oh, I see…” Si Huan looked away and continued to organize the documents slowly. Then, he said unhurriedly,” It’s alright. As long as you know that Bi Ying and I are different types of friends, that’s enough. ”
Huo Tian didn’t say anything. Her ears gradually turned red from shyness.
The return of the enthusiasm from the bad friends to Huo Tian represented a huge change in the upper society’s attitude towards her.
Although Huo Tian had returned to the upper society because of her relationship with Si Huan, in today’s society, connections were resources. No one would deny that Huo Tian had regained the right to date him.
The students who were born into wealthy families and had formed a closed and exclusive circle for those from the upper society were all waiting for Huo Tian to actively express her goodwill. However, they were basically unable to catch any sight of her. This inevitably attracted the curiosity of many students.
“Didn’t you guys say that Huo Tian had hooked up with Senior Si Huan? I thought she’d finally become smarter after being beaten back to her original form, but we’ve waited so long, yet she hasn’t come to bond with us. We’ve at least had a few meals together in the past!”
“What nonsense are you talking about? We were the ones who tried to curry up to her in the past. I guess Huo Tian has gotten used to being a young miss and hasn’t gotten used to her new identity yet. Or could it be that she just can’t put down her pride?”
“I think Huo Tian and Huo You have been acting a little strange recently. Logically speaking, Huo Tian should have returned to the social circle as Senior Si Huan’s girlfriend, but we haven’t seen her at all in the past few days. Then there’s Huo You. I heard that she and He Yu from the Hein Corporation are passionately in love, but they seem to have lost contact over the past two days. Huo You has become a little…”
This female classmate who was gossiping behind Huo You’s back shrugged and pointed at her own brain, giving her other friends a look that said, ‘You guys know what I mean.’
Everyone nodded in realization.
Ever since Huo You returned to the upper society, they had interacted with the real daughter of the Huo Family and gained some understanding of her personality. Although Huo You looked like a gentle and proper young miss, she wasn’t someone who knew how to hide her emotions. If someone said something that struck her where it hurt, Huo You’s expression would immediately change.
At this moment, all these people who were gossiping together nodded. One of them sighed and said, “Speaking of which, although Huo Tian had a bad temper in the past, her nonchalant attitude towards everything made her seem like someone from an influential family. As for this Miss Huo now…”
Before this person finished their words, the few of them exchanged glances with each other and wore complicated expressions on their faces.
