Fake Rich Daughter Is A Scientist From The Future Novel - Chapter 321

Chapter 321: Shortcut

Huo You looked at Huo Feng silently, wanting to find clues from his expression.

However, there was a faint, cold smile on Huo Feng’s lips as he let Huo You stare at him without any change in expression.

He was clearly a teenager, but Huo You, who had lived for two lifetimes, could not see through what he was thinking.

Huo You couldn’t help but feel defeated. She said angrily, “Since your plan can give me so many benefits, why should I reject it?”

“I think so too. You’re from the Huo Family, so how can you give up the power that you can get so easily?”

Huo Feng included himself in the mocking without restraint. After sighing, he continued, “Actually, I’ve always been very curious. How could a woman like you, who would be willing to do anything to live a better life, let go of such an opportunity?”

Huo You frowned in frustration and avoided Huo Feng’s intimidating gaze. She said impatiently, “What are you trying to say? Stop keeping me in suspense.”

“I just want to remind you that in such a critical period where everyone wants to get involved with the Hill Family, you clearly have a shortcut to take. Why haven’t you been able to see it yet?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Feng noticed that Huo You’s back had instantly stiffened. Her breathing had also become irregular, and she couldn’t maintain her composure.

Looking at her reaction, Huo Feng knew that Huo You understood what he wanted her to do. Perhaps she had always understood how to maximize her benefits at this banquet, but she had never chosen to take that shortcut.

The interest on Huo Feng’s face deepened. He bent down again and got close to Huo You’s side profile, looking at the face in the mirror that was trying its best to suppress its emotions with his existence.

His voice was gentle and soft, but the content he spoke was like a sharp weapon that stabbed at Huo You. “You also understand what method I’m talking about, right? To build a good relationship with Mrs. Hill and use your identity as her adopted daughter as a bargaining chip to snatch benefits from the Huo Family and the He Family. It’s such a simple plan. Sister won’t tell me that you haven’t thought of it before, right?”

Huo You’s face turned pale, and she clenched her fists that were on her knees to control her emotions so that she wouldn’t lose her composure.

She didn’t dare to meet Huo Feng’s gaze through the mirror, afraid that he would see through her true thoughts.

Only after a moment of silence did she say, “This method won’t do. Back then, before I left the Ding Family, I had a fallout with her and her brother. Moreover, Huo Tian is not a magnanimous person. She won’t let her mother get too close to me.”

The smile on Huo Feng’s face slowly disappeared, and his eyes became colder and colder. He said mockingly, “You can’t be thinking I’m really asking you to revisit the mother-daughter relationship with Mrs. Hill, do you? If you really do that, Sister Tiantian will be angry. If she gets angry because of you, I won’t let you off either.”

These words clearly indicated the difference in Huo Tian and Huo You’s statuses in Huo Feng’s heart. In his words, Huo Tian was an unattainable goddess who could not be profaned, but Huo You was like a dirty thing that had crawled out of a quagmire. How could Huo You not be angry at this difference in treatment?

Huo You gritted her teeth and suddenly looked up at Huo Feng through the mirror. Her eyes were red and endless anger surged in her heart. “Huo Feng, I’m your biological sister!”

Huo You’s gaze was harmless to Huo Feng. He replied indifferently, “Yeah, you’re my sister, so I know what dirty and evil blood is flowing in your veins. We’re the same kind of people. Admit that you’re an unscrupulous person, dear Sister.”

Huo You was stunned that he could belittle his bloodline in such a calm tone. It was only after she came back to her senses that she realized that there was nothing she could say to refute this. Her anger wasn’t as intense anymore.

Huo Feng looked mockingly at the top of Huo You’s head. “I know why you’re hesitating. That Mrs. Hill is probably the only person who has given you warmth. No matter how unbearable you are, you don’t want to use the last bit of your relationship, right?”

Huo You lowered her head again, not daring to let Huo Feng see her increasingly redden eyes.

However, Huo Feng’s attitude changed instantly. His fingers gently circled Huo You’s messy hair and he said in an extremely gentle tone, “Dear Sister, I didn’t expect you to have such a naive side.. It makes it a little unbearable for me to force you…”
