The waitress also heard Huo You’s rating of their milk tea and said angrily, “We’re a well-known franchise in the country and all the ingredients we use are of high quality, uniformly sent by the company’s factory. What right does she have to say that of our milk tea?!”
Liu Jun took a sip of milk tea. It was sweet and delicious. It was a very delicious drink.
He completely understood now and muttered dejectedly to himself, “It’s not her fault. She returned to her biological parents’ side and became a rich young miss. It’s true that she really shouldn’t drink such cheap drinks anymore…”
The waitress rolled her eyes speechlessly. She thought to herself that the girl just now must be a poor person who suddenly became rich. A real wealthy family would not flaunt what quality drinks they drank and what food they ate!
With the anger in her heart, Huo You strode to the Ding Family’s door and bumped into Ding Rong, who was about to head out.
Ding Rong and Huo You were both stunned on the spot. Huo You’s lips moved slightly and she was about to say the word “Mom”. Fortunately, Huo You came back to her senses in time and swallowed the word back.
Ding Rong looked at the dispirited Huo You and frowned slightly. She was silent for a moment before saying, “Huo You, why did you come here?”
A sharp pain rose in Huo You’s heart. She cleared her throat and said stiffly, “Auntie Ding, I’m here to look for Huo Tian. I have something to tell her.”
Upon hearing this, the complicated expression on Ding Rong’s face instantly turned to one of wariness. She said, “I know you don’t like Tiantian. I can’t interfere with the conflicts the two of you have in school, but I won’t let you come to my house to bully my daughter.”
Even though Huo You knew that she wasn’t fated to be mother and daughter with Ding Rong, she didn’t expect Ding Rong to treat her with such a hostile attitude. Her heart ached slightly as she said in a dry voice, “I, I’m not here to bully Huo Tian. I’m here to apologize to her.”

“Apologize?” Ding Rong didn’t believe Huo You’s words at all. “I know your personality. You look very soft, but in fact, you’re sharp and stubborn. Although I don’t know why you hate Tiantian, I know that you definitely won’t feel regret or guilt for the things you’ve done, nor will you sincerely come to apologize to Tiantian.”
Huo You was stunned and turned to avoid Ding Rong’s gaze. Actually, Ding Rong knew her very well, but it wasn’t completely accurate. This was because she had done something she regretted very much. She had conspired with He Yu in the kidnapping case that had put Ding Rong in a dangerous situation in order to deal a blow to Si Huan.
She didn’t refute Ding Rong’s words. She was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, “You’re right. Be it chasing Huo Tian out of the Huo Family or targeting her in school, I’ve never regretted anything after doing these things. I don’t want to apologize to Huo Tian either, but I had no choice but to come because this is a deal between me and the Huo Family’s couple. Only by doing something that satisfies them can I get what I want.”
Ding Rong did not expect to receive such an answer either. From Huo Tian’s explanation, she had a superficial understanding of the Huo Family’s couple. Due to Huo Tian’s encounter in the Huo Family, Ding Rong did not have any good impression of the couple.
Occasionally, when Ding Rong suffered from insomnia at night, she would wonder why they treated Huo Tian that way. In the end, she could only come to the conclusion that they were “unable to get close to each other since they were not related by blood.” She had thought that after Huo You returned to the Huo Family, she would be doted on by her parents, just like how she treated Huo Tian. She knew that many of Huo Tian’s bad habits needed to be corrected, but once she acted spoiled a little, she would no longer be able to be tough on her.
Ding Rong did not understand why some parents would force their children to do something that they were unwilling to do. They would even turn the relationship between the parents and the child into a cold transaction.. This completely exceeded Ding Rong’s recognition.
