Chapter 130 – Hormones
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The business district project that the Hein Corporation and the Huo Family had collaborated to develop was going well. There were no loopholes in their plan to plot against Si Huan either. Furthermore, He Yu had also learned some business information from Huo You and received many unexpected benefits…
Therefore, He Yu had been feeling quite pleased with himself recently.
Taking into consideration the fact that Huo You was the one who had brought about the rise of the Hein Corporation, He Yu became more patient with her. Today, his female companion was Huo You. The two of them appeared to be on intimate terms, and their gazes would occasionally meet. They looked like a couple who had fallen in love.
No matter how much truth there was behind their feelings, at least everyone would believe that this couple loved each other deeply.
One of the madams who had led the discussion about the Huo Family’s gossip earlier now stood beside Mrs. Huo like she was her sister and praised, “This must be your daughter, right? She’s very compatible with Mr. He. Mrs. Huo, you really make people envious of you. Both of your daughters turned out to be so beautiful and found you such outstanding sons-in-law. As their mother, you don’t have to worry at all…”
The smile on Mrs. Huo’s lips froze up in an instant. She lifted the glass of champagne and took a sip as if trying to hide it. Then she said while wearing a normal expression, “Huo Tian is no longer my daughter. Don’t say that.”
The other madams exchanged glances with each other, then one of them said, “Tiantian grew up in the Huo Family. Even if she returns to her biological mother’s side now, she won’t be able to sever her connections with the Huo Family. I think Huo Feng is still very close to Tiantian. Their relationship is still as good as before.”
All the other madams agreed. “That’s right. Giving birth to a child can’t be compared to having brought up the child. How can Tiantian not be considered your daughter, Mrs. Huo?”
Although Mrs. Huo wanted to go along with their conversation and link up Huo Tian with the Huo Family so that she could become Si Huan’s mother-in-law… At the thought of Huo Tian’s merciless personality and how she had completely forgotten how to speak tactfully, how would Mrs. Huo dare to provoke this wild brat?
She said with an unnatural expression, “Although we can’t bear to let Tiantian go, the Huo Family can’t take advantage of our power to bully others. Since we brought our daughter back, how can we let Tiantian stay with us? That’s too unfair for Tiantian’s biological mother…”
These words were spoken rationally and magnanimously. Mrs. Huo thought that this would be enough to deal with these people who were trying to sound things out from her, but unexpectedly, these madams all wore strange expressions on their faces, as if they had recalled something bad.
Mrs. Huo asked, feeling puzzled, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing. We just remembered a joke.”
“That’s right, that’s right. That joke was really funny…”
The ladies laughed and brought the topic over, but they were mocking the Huo Family for their hypocrisy in their hearts. If they were really being considerate toward Huo Tian and her biological mother, why would they ask for 20 million yuan of living expenses?
They were just worried that Huo Tian would cling to the Huo Family. It was understandable if that was the case, but the Huo Family had really asked for the 20 million yuan back. Now, everyone was mocking the Huo Family for not being careful when doing things…
He Yu greeted the people he was familiar with and Huo You accompanied him with a polite smile on her face. The two of them looked like a married couple.
Both of them had come prepared today. He Yu wanted to take the opportunity to make things difficult for Si Huan and shake his position in the Si Corporation so that he could interfere with the new energy project that Si Huan was optimistic about.
Huo You wanted to see how Huo Tian would deal with the criticisms from the Si Family while Si Huan was busy settling his own problems.
When He Yu saw Si Huan’s figure, he smirked and asked Huo You, who was holding his arm, “I’ll go greet the host. Are you going to meet your non-biological sister?”
Huo You wore a disgusted expression as if she had just eaten a fly.
He Yu smiled and planted a soft kiss on Huo You’s cheek. “Darling, I was just joking. Don’t be angry at me.”
Huo You couldn’t lose her temper in front of everyone. She glared at He Yu and said, “I’ll go greet my parents first. I’ll meet up with you later.”
He Yu personally sent Huo You to Mrs. Huo’s side and naturally received praises from the madams there.
After being held back by these women, when He Yu wanted to go look for Si Huan’s trouble, it was already time for the opening dance. Si Huan was already standing in the space in the center of the crowd with his dance partner.
Si Huan lowered his head slightly and smiled at the girl in his arms. “Do you still remember the dance steps?”
Huo Tian was very unfamiliar with social dancing, but the original Huo Tian had received more than ten years of management education in the Huo Family and was very familiar with dance steps. Now, Huo Tian only needed to activate the memories of the original Huo Tian’s dancing.
She nodded confidently. “Don’t worry, my memory and physique are top-notch. It’s just a ballroom dance. I definitely won’t make any mistakes!”
The music played. Under Si Huan’s lead, Huo Tian instinctively followed his rhythm.
When she looked up and met Si Huan’s warm gaze, under the influence of the music and dance, Huo Tian felt that the hormones in her body seemed to show abnormality…
