Thinking back to her conversation with Huo Tian that day, the mockery in Huo You’s eyes became even stronger. She was mocking Mr. and Mrs. Huo, as well as herself, who had never been taken seriously by her opponent.
“Huo Tian doesn’t care about me at all…”
After mocking herself, Huo You looked at the grim-faced Mrs. Huo and said, “Mother, to Huo Tian, I’m just an unimportant stranger. But you guys are different. You’re the family she had relied on for 18 years. One day, you guys suddenly told her that the two of you aren’t related by blood. In order to make her give up on the Huo Family, you even coldly and mercilessly asked Huo Tian, who was penniless, for 20 million yuan for her living expenses. If it were you, would you hate another girl with a displaced fate, or would you hate your cold and heartless adoptive parents?”
As Huo You spoke, Mrs. Huo’s face turned increasingly pale. She was silent for a long while before she barely regained her ability to speak. She asked with a trembling voice, “Did Huo Tian tell you all this?”
“If Huo Tian hadn’t told me, did I make it up myself?” Huo You felt that Mrs. Huo’s struggle and unwillingness to believe in reality was very funny. She couldn’t help but sneer and say, “Mother, I only realize now that I seemed to have misjudged Huo Tian in the past. You said that she didn’t know what was good for her and that she was greedy for the Huo Family’s rich life, so I believed you. Now, it seems that the other party is different from what you said.”
Given Huo Tian’s current identity, even if Mrs. Huo was dissatisfied with her, she didn’t dare to voice her thoughts. Upon hearing Huo You’s words, she subconsciously shook her head and rebutted, “No, I never say such things. Tiantian has always been a good child. I’ve always liked her…”
This kind of brainwashing behavior made the mockery in Huo You’s heart increase. She looked at Mrs. Huo coldly and said with a mocking smile, “Mother, you’re probably the best person in the world who can act according to the situation, right? I still remember that disdainful expression when Huo Tian was mentioned in the past. Now, the other party has bee the good daughter you mentioned. Even if you believe this excuse yourself, do you think you can fool Huo Tian with her intelligence?”
Mrs. Huo’s face turned red and pale after Huo You exposed her hypocrisy.
At that moment, she really wanted to raise her hand and slap Huo You, but Huo You’s resistance earlier made Mrs. Huo realize that the person in front of her was no longer the Huo You who could be hit and scolded as she wished. Huo You was covered in thorns now. If she were to hit her, she might accidentally hurt herself.
Mrs. Huo could only suppress her anger and barely maintain her posure as Mrs. Huo. She said angrily, “Huo You, you don’t have to say those useless things. You just need to plete the thing you promised your father and me. We’ve reached a consensus that this is just a deal. Go apologize to Huo Tian and get the banquet invitation then we’ll transfer the entertainment pany to your name. Isn’t that very fair?”
Huo You shrugged and didn’t deny Mrs. Huo’s words. She even nodded in agreement. “You’re right. This is a fair deal, and I’ve already pleted the part that I should have done. If you were at home now, you might have already received the banquet invitation. However, you couldn’t control yourself and came to the hotel to look for me. Other than being angry at me for nothing, you didn’t get anything else.”
Looking at Mrs. Huo’s expression, Huo You felt more and more carefree, so she became even more eccentric.. “Mother, thank you for portraying the meaning of ‘the losses outweigh the gains’ for me. It’s really a vivid image!”
