Chapter 276: Milk Tea

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Even though Huo You had always held great hatred for Huo Tian and Si Huan, she had to admit that the two of them were quite compatible. After Huo Tian found her biological father, the only problem that might hinder them from being together—the difference in their family backgrounds—was solved. Shouldn’t the head of the Hill family be like the Huo Family’s couple, happily settling on a rich husband for his daughter?

Huo You couldn’t figure it out and was a little skeptical of Liu Jun’s words.

She frowned in confusion and muttered, “Why does he hate Si Huan?”

Zhao Jun said straightforwardly, “Because Si Huan is interested in Huo Tian. As a father, how can he not hate boys who are coveting his daughter?”

Huo You was stunned by his matter-of-fact answer.

She lowered her eyes and stirred the milk tea in her cup randomly. She thought dejectedly to herself that yes, every father who loved his daughter would find those boys who coveted her daughter unpleasant. They would not let their daughter get engaged to a pervert for the sake of benefits.

Huo You lowered her head and smiled self-deprecatingly at an angle that Zhao Jun couldn’t see.

She truly felt that she was different from Huo Tian. She wasn’t as lucky as Huo Tian and could only try her best to grab onto what she wanted. As for whether it would hurt her self-esteem during this process, it wasn’t that important.

Compared to the things she was pursuing, what was mere pride worth?

She had hesitated for such a long time previously, but in just a few minutes, Huo You made up her mind to find Huo Tian and apologize to her. Even if she would be humiliated, she would ask for her forgiveness in exchange for the banquet invitation that the Huo Family wanted.

Liu Jun seemed to have said something else, but Huo You didn’t hear a word.

She suddenly looked up and said to Liu Jun, “Do you know where the Ding Family moved to? How can I find Huo Tian?”

Liu Jun looked back at Huo You in confusion and said in confusion, “Auntie Ding and the others are still living here. Why would they move for no reason?”

Huo You couldn’t believe it. “How is that possible? Huo Tian’s biological father is so rich, so why is their family still living here?”

Liu Jun was even more confused. “Is Uncle Xi very rich? He doesn’t look like it. His legs don’t look too good. He should just be an ordinary person, right?”

Huo You didn’t know how to answer and could only take a few sips of milk tea in silence.

According to normal people’s thoughts, after having a world’s top tycoon as their husband or father, they should first change the poor living environment they were living in. However, Huo You wasn’t surprised by Ding Rong and Huo Tian’s choice.

In the past, Ding Rong had countless opportunities to choose a richer life. Be it agreeing to a rich man’s conditions to become his mistress or finding a man with a good family background to form a family again, she did not lack such opportunities. However, Ding Rong had never felt tempted even once.

Ding Rong had a character that Huo You found hard to understand. Huo Tian and her biological father were probably very similar to Ding Rong and were happy to live in such a dilapidated small courtyard.

Huo You pushed the milk tea forward, stood up, and said, “I have something on, I’ll get going first.”

Zhao Jun quickly stood up and said helplessly, “B-But you only took two or three sips of your milk tea. You…”

Huo You glanced at the milk tea’s plastic cup on the table and said coldly, “This beverage made from syrup and low-quality milk doesn’t suit my taste anymore.”

With that, Huo You ignored the hurt expression on Liu Jun’s face, pushed open the glass door of the milk tea shop, and strode out.

Liu Jun stood rooted to the ground and stared at Huo You’s back view in a daze.
