Chapter 48: The Huo Family
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s eyes, without the Huo Family’s support, it was impossible for Huo Tian to be with a guy from a rich family, let alone Si Huan, who was the head of the Si Family.
However, Huo You recalled the rumors from her previous life saying that Si Huan and Huo Tian were in a harmonious relationship. She became even more certain of her guess.
“But Si Huan treats Huo Tian very well. Si Huan puts in a lot of effort so that Huo Tian can stay in Qingli High School.” Huo You couldn’t help but sound resentful. “If he wasn’t with Huo Tian, why would Si Huan go against the entire school’s board of directors?”
Mr. and Mrs. Huo exchanged a glance, both of them feeling a little surprised.
“What is it with Si Huan and the school’s board of directors?” Mr. Huo asked with a frown.
Huo You shared everything she had heard from He Yu.
After hearing that, Mr. and Mrs. Huo fell into deep thought.
“I really couldn’t tell…” Mrs. Huo muttered with a sigh.” It seems like the education I gave Huo Tian in the past wasn’t in vain. She’ll know how to use her advantages to exchange for benefits now. ”
“She’s really an ingrate. Back when she was in the Huo Family, she was like a block of wood, unable to do anything well. But after leaving the Huo Family, she has become smarter.” Mr. Huo snorted. “If Huo Tian is really together with Si Huan, it won’t be easy to chase her away from Qingli High School.”
Huo You became nervous when she saw that Mr. Huo seemed like he was about to change his mind. She could almost imagine that in order to win Si Huan over, Mr. and Mrs. Huo would let Huo Tian return to the Huo Family. Wouldn’t all the effort she had put in be in vain then?
No! Huo You thought to herself that she would never let Huo Tian turn the tables around. She was definitely not going to live a dark life as she did in her previous life.
She took a deep breath and controlled her nervousness when facing Mr. Huo. “Dad, I have a plan. As long as it’s implemented successfully, not only can we drive Huo Tian far away, but it will also bring up the Huo Family’s wealth and reputation to a higher level.”
“What good ideas can you have?” Mr. Huo waved his hand indifferently. “You just have to study hard and have He Yu in your grasp so that the Huo Family and Hein Corporation can maintain a good cooperative relationship…”
“Dad!” Seeing that Mr. Huo was getting impatient and wanted to get up, Huo You didn’t care if she would be blamed and interrupted him, not caring for any etiquette. “I just need five minutes. Please listen to my plan. Maybe you’ll change your mind…”
“Huo You, where’s your etiquette?” Mrs. Huo put down her coffee cup and looked at Huo You coldly.
Under her mother’s cold gaze, Huo You cowered a little. However, in order to make Huo Tian never appear in her life again, Huo You persisted in looking at her father.
Mr. Huo remembered that when Huo You had just returned to the Huo Family, she had indeed come up with a few good ideas for the cooperation between the Huo Family and Hein Corporation. He calmed down and said, “Alright, tell me your idea…”
“Thank you, Dad!” Huo You smiled excitedly, then she restrained her smile and said solemnly, “It has been less than half a year since Si Huan has taken over the Si Family and his foundation in the Si Family is unstable. In order to establish his prestige, he has developed several projects in the past six months…”
Relying on the memories from her past life, Huo You slowly told Mr. Huo about her understanding of the Si Family. Her confident demeanor made Mr. Huo see her in a different light.
Mr. Huo nodded secretly as he listened. He thought that no matter what method Huo You could think of, at least she had done enough preparation. It was already not easy for her to be able to gather so much unannounced secret information about the Si Family.
Huo You noticed Mr. Huo’s approving attitude, so she relaxed a little and continued, “…The Si Family is facing a tight financial situation. If they get supplanted during this time, they’ll have to cut their losses to survive. When that happens, the Huo Family can take advantage of the situation to take over a few high-quality projects with good prospects from the Si Family.”
“Youyou is indeed of the Huo Family’s bloodline.” Mr. Huo nodded with a smile and looked at Huo You in admiration. “Although you haven’t received the Huo Family’s family education, you know well about the essence of the Huo Family’s business strategy. Alright, I’ll consider your suggestion carefully. If Youyou has any ideas in the future, you can tell me.”
Huo You suppressed the joy in her heart and tried hard to appear indifferent, but excitement still seeped out of her eyes.
“I understand, Dad!”
After Mr. Huo left, only Huo You and Mrs. Huo were left in the living room.
The smile on Mrs. Huo’s face slowly disappeared. She looked at Huo You warningly and said, “Huo You, it seems like you’re not completely useless. You still have many capabilities that I don’t know about.”
Only then did Huo You realize that Mrs. Huo didn’t seem to like her performing well in front of Mr. Huo. She was a little puzzled. “Mom? I just want to get Dad’s approval…”
“Of course you can think of ways to get your father’s approval, but…” Mrs. Huo looked at Huo You coldly.” I hope you can remember your identity. You’re a girl, and you’ll have to get married one day. The Huo Family belongs to your younger brother, so don’t stretch your hands too far.”
Younger brother? The Huo Feng who only had Huo Tian in his heart?
