Chapter 218: Complaints

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was said that middle-aged people in love were like old houses on fire. The two middle-aged people who had reunited after a long time were even more clingy than those young couples in school.

Ever since Xi Cheng came to the house, Huo Tian realized for the first time that she was so redundant in this family. The mother who always placed her daughter first in the past could no longer see her. There were no more specially prepared desserts and the goodnight kisses also became extremely perfunctory…

At first, Huo Tian understood their feelings very well and decided to be an obedient daughter to create opportunities for her parents to get along. However, after being neglected by the two of them for a few days, Huo Tian really couldn’t take it anymore.

This led to Huo Tian, who never liked to go to school, to rush to school very early for a change on Monday morning.

During the lunch break, she gathered with her friends and complained indignantly, “What I feel now is regret. Great regret! You guys can’t imagine how ridiculous the two of them are. They have endless things to say all day, and from time to time, they would act like the scenes in movies, looking at each other and exchanging smiles. I get goosebumps just watching from the side!”

“More importantly, it’s as if they can’t see me and they treat me as if I don’t exist! I’m such a big person, but they treat me as if I don’t exist. Don’t you think that’s too much?!”

As Bi Ying still did not know what had happened, Huo Tian explained things to him carefully. At this moment, Bi Ying was still in a state of shock, his face filled with disbelief. “Heavens, the fate between you and Uncle Xi is too amazing…”

Huo Tian sighed slowly. “Who says that’s not the case…?”

Bi Ying comforted her, “Even so, you don’t have to look so sad. Having a father like Mr. Xi is much better than the Huo Family’s couple, right?”

Although she was filled with complaints about her biological father, who had only appeared two days ago, Huo Tian subconsciously defended him. “Those guys who only see benefits in their eyes are not worthy of being compared to my father, okay?”

Bi Ying was puzzled. “Then what are you still conflicted about?”

Huo Tian looked like she choked off and glared at Bi Ying. She then crossed her arms and silently felt angry, but she didn’t explain her thoughts carefully.

Huo Tian wasn’t someone who liked to keep everything in her heart, but she couldn’t tell her friends about her awkward emotions.

Of course she knew why she was unhappy. In the past, before Xi Cheng appeared, Huo Tian had always been the center of the family. Be it her mother or uncle, they always placed Huo Tian first, treating her like a little princess. They would dote on her and give in to her.

However, ever since Xi Cheng and Ding Rong reunited, Huo Tian’s status at home had plummeted. She could not stand this difference…

However, such thoughts were too childish and selfish. Huo Tian could not be honest with her friends.

She held a cup of milk tea in her hand and poked the pearls in the cup from time to time with the straw. She pouted unhappily. “It’s nothing. You guys don’t have to worry about me. I’ll be fine after staying quietly by myself for a while…”

Only then did Bi Ying realize that he seemed to have made Huo Tian unhappy. He frowned slightly and looked helpless.

Bi Ying didn’t wish for Huo Tian to be unhappy and subconsciously looked at Si Huan. Although Bi Ying had some aversion to Si Huan because of his secret feelings, at this moment, he subconsciously felt that only Si Huan could make Huo Tian happy again.

Si Huan clearly understood Huo Tian better. He knew what was bothering Huo Tian and how to easily divert her attention. “Uncle has been away for almost a week.. He should be back in two days. Does he still not know about Uncle Xi?”
