Chapter 367: Is It An Illusion?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
For half a year, on all the occasions when the four of them gathered together, Huo Feng seemed to have been very silent, watching like an outsider while the other three people put on a farce.
From the moment Huo You returned to the Huo Family, the family had deliberately appeared to be close and harmonious. Later on, Huo You stopped being obedient. She went from the initial occasional resistance to completely falling out with Mr. and Mrs. Huo. Through the entire process, Huo Feng had
been like today, sitting quietly by the side and silently watching everything happen.
For some reason, Mr. Huo felt a bone-chilling chill run down his spine again and he broke out in a cold sweat.
He met Huo Feng’s gaze. He did not know if it was an illusion, but he saw Huo Feng’s eyes curled slightly as if he was smiling obediently at him.
At that moment, Mr. Huo felt a buzzing in his ears and a flash of white light seemed to flash in front of his eyes. For a few seconds, he felt the world spin and took a few steps back to sit on the sofa. Mr. Huo took a few deep breaths before he came back to his senses. When he looked at Huo Feng again, Mr.
Huo realized that the obedient smile on his face had disappeared and was replaced with a worried expression.
Huo Feng frowned slightly and looked at Mr. Huo in concern. “Dad, are you okay? Where do you feel unwell?”
(So it was just an illusion…) Mr. Huo heaved a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that he had really been angered by Huo You. He actually saw an illusion that Huo Feng, who was a good child who would worry about his parents, had a gloating smile on his face.
Mr. Huo felt that he was hallucinating after being angered by Huo You. He felt that he was probably getting on in age that his body and mind could not withstand too much stimulation.
This realization made Mr. Huo’s tone tum a little weak and tired. “Youyou, I don’t understand why you can say such malicious thoughts so boldly and confidently. I’m your biological father, after all. Even if you don’t like me, how can you plot against me like this?”
His voice became softer and softer as if his heart had really been broken. However, Huo You didn’t believe that and replied with a sneer.
“That’s right, I’m so selfish and vicious. I’m not afraid to admit to that.” Huo You shrugged frankly and generously, then looked at Mr. Huo mockingly.
“Do you want me to be like you guys, having to put on a sanctimonious act despite thinking about interests and schemes all the time? In order to avoid the revenge of the Hill Family’s head, you guys want to sacrifice my marriage and get involved with the Hill Family, but you had to say that it’s for my
own good. Tsk, tsk. It’s fine if you’re coaxing a brainless idiot, but you’re trying to deceive me?”
Mr. Huo rested his elbows on his knees and his hands trembled slightly. He had really been angered by Huo You. Mr. Huo’s mind was in a daze and his chest heaved up and down as he panted before he found the ability to organize his words again.
He said slowly, “Huo You, I don’t understand. If the Huo Family suffers revenge from the Hill Family and is completely brought down, what benefits will it bring you?”
The way he looked at Huo You was no longer high and mighty. Instead, his gaze was turbid and tired like an old and weak wolf who had been chased out of the pack and could only wait for death.
Huo You looked back coldly without any fluctuations in her heart. “Dad, don’t you understand? If the Huo Family falls, as your daughter, who is already engaged to He Yu, I won’t be implicated. And after the Hill Family’s head destroys the Huo Family, he won’t make a move on a little girl like me. I still
have an entertainment company in my hands. It’ll be enough for me to live comfortably for the rest of my life…”
As if the life she had been looking forward to was right in front of her, Huo You let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Dad, don’t worry. Even without the Huo Family, I will live well. I won’t have to worry about the revenge of the Hill Family’s head or be restrained by my biological parents. With
my relationship with Mrs. Hill and the entertainment company in my hands, He Yu won’t dare to look down on me. Of course, if he wants to call off the engagement, that would be a good thing for me…. Just thinking of that life makes me can’t wait for the day the Huo Family falls to arrive.”
Even though Mr. and Mrs. Huo knew that Huo You was an ingrate, they didn’t expect to hear such disrespectful words from her.
‘Mr. Huo was so angry that his vision was turning black. For the first half of his life, he had lived almost all his life for the Huo Family. His family, wife, mistresses, and children could not compare to the importance of the Huo Family’s businesses in Mr. Huo’s heart. He was a completely authoritative
animal. He would only fee! satisfaction if he firmly grasped the kingdom that belonged to him.
However, it was only at this moment that Mr. Huo realized that the Huo Family was facing a crisis, and he was helpless.
