Huo You took a sip of tea slowly and said, “Dad, you know that if this plan succeeds, it will bring huge profits. That’s why you’re tempted, right?”
Mr. Huo was speechless. His breathing quickened as he glared at Huo You coldly.
Under Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s overpowering gazes, Huo You actually laughed out loud. “Hahahaha, Dad, Mom, how could I possibly tell you guys about this plan? After you guys knew that Huo Tian and Si Huan were together, you guys had been trying to think of ways to bring Huo Tian back. You wanted to use Huo Tian to pull Si Huan over to your side. How would I know if you guys would suddenly change sides and sell me out to Si Huan?”
She glanced at Mrs. Huo, who looked a little unnatural, and Mr. Huo, who was still wearing a serious expression. She sneered and said, “More importantly, even if this plan succeeds, what benefits can you give me?”
Mrs. Huo looked at Huo You in disbelief. “You’re our daughter, yet you’re asking us for benefits?”
“Isn’t this what you taught me, Mom?” Huo You looked at Mrs. Huo coldly. “Benefits outweigh emotions. I thought this was the law of survival for the Huo Family. You only have Huo Feng in your heart. Of course, you also care about your ex-daughter, Huo Tian, who had hooked up with Si Huan. As for me, even if I show extraordinary capabilities, will you let me take over the family business and give me a stage to display my ambitions? You won’t. You’ll only give me a light compliment later on…”
Mr. Huo interrupted Huo You in a low voice, “That’s enough! Huo You, when you first returned to the Huo Family, your mother and I had high hopes for you. We thought that you were at least a little more obedient than Huo Tian, but we didn’t expect you to be such a selfish and narrow-minded person. Huo You, you’ve really disappointed your mother and me.”
He seemed to not want to see his daughter at all and stood up to leave. Mrs. Huo gave Huo You a cold glance, then stood up too and followed behind Mr. Huo.
Huo You sat on the soft sofa and felt the air around her turn incomparably cold. It was really sad that she had fallen into a state where everyone had their backs turned to her. Moreover, this happened even earlier than in her previous life…
She was wallowing in sorrow and self-pity when she suddenly heard claps. She looked over and saw that it was Huo Feng, who should have been in school.
Huo You didn’t greet Huo Feng and merely stared at him coldly.
However, Huo Feng displayed a friendly attitude that was completely different than before. He sized up Huo You curiously, then suddenly laughed. “You look much more pleasing to the eye now. I knew it. You’re just like the other Huo Family members, a monster without a heart. Why are you pretending to be kind and friendly? That fake mask you wore earlier is really disgusting!”
Although Huo You knew that no one in the Huo Family was normal, Huo Feng’s attitude still puzzled her. “Dad and Mom were afraid of me because I’m cold-blooded and heartless, but you’re not afraid at all?”
Huo Feng laughed. “Hahahaha! Huo You, aren’t you really too funny?”
He laughed for a while, then suddenly glared at Huo You with a cold and bloodthirsty gaze. “Who do you think you are? You think I’ll be afraid of you? Look, even if you want to kill your adoptive mother, you still have to use He Yu to implement your plan. Now that you’re breaking up with He Yu, who else can you use?”
Huo You’s face darkened.
Huo Feng continued to gently expose her superficial coldness. “Look, even if a powerless young miss from a wealthy family has countless malicious plans in her heart, they can only be treated as boring delusions. It’s really pitiful, isn’t it?”
Huo You glared at Huo Feng, gritted her teeth, and said coldly, “Huo Feng, don’t be too smug!”
Huo Feng smiled and said, “But what can you do to me? Huo You, I actually admire your plan. If it succeeds, Sister Huo Tian might really be able to return to the Huo Family. It’s just that you’re too, too stupid.. To think that you actually chose an ally like He Yu…”
