Si Huan chuckled and didn’t say anything. Mr. and Mrs. Huo couldn’t tell anything from his expression, but they were already certain that they could control Si Huan, so they no longer cared what he was currently thinking.
Mr. Huo continued, “If Tiantian were to continue to stay in the Ding Family, your relationship would definitely be opposed by your family’s elders. However, if Tiantian were to return to the Huo Family, I think our family background would be enough to be a good match for you.”
“So Uncle Huo and Auntie Huo still want to bring Huo Tian back.” Si Huan chuckled and lowered his eyes to hide the disgust in them. “But hasn’t Huo Tian returned the 20 million yuan to Uncle Huo and Auntie Huo? She’d rather return the 20 million yuan to you than return to the Huo Family. I think Huo Tian’s attitude is very clear. Given our current relationship… I can’t force her to do something she doesn’t like.”
Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s expressions turned a little grim. To hide their awkwardness, the two of them picked up their tea and took a sip.
Mrs. Huo took the initiative to break the silence. “Tiantian has been a stubborn child since she was young and is too headstrong. It’s probably because she had a disagreement with us when she left the Huo Family and has always held a grudge against your Uncle Huo and me, that’s why she’s always been angry with us.”
“Auntie Huo, you mean that the reason Huo Tian returned you 20 million yuan and said outright that she had nothing to do with you guys was out of a moment of anger?”
Mrs. Huo was about to nod in agreement, but Si Huan didn’t give them the chance to speak. His expression was extremely cold as he looked up at Mr. and Mrs. Huo with a gaze filled with strong mockery.
Only then did Mr. and Mrs. Huo realize that Si Huan’s respectful attitude previously was just a disguise. Now, this aloof and sharp Si Huan was how he really was.
Si Huan said mercilessly, “Uncle Huo and Auntie Huo, the things in this world aren’t such that you can do whatever you want. I think you guys are already so old, so you don’t need me to teach you this principle, right? Back then, you guys found your biological daughter and felt that Huo Tian, this adopted daughter, was useless. That was why you wanted to chase her away…”
“You guys were still worried that she would shamelessly stay in the Huo Family, so you guys brought up encashing Huo Tian’s expenses in the Huo Family for the past 18 years, telling her to write up a huge IOU. This completely dispelled her yearning for you guys.”
Si Huan’s gaze seemed like he was recollecting something. He said in a sigh, “Uncle and Auntie Huo, you probably don’t know how, back then, the penniless Huo Family who didn’t bring anything with her except a set of clothes that she was wearing, arrived at the Ding Family’s house from the Huo Family’s villa.”
Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s expressions were extremely grim. They had never been openly criticized by a junior before. At this moment, they didn’t feel that the way they treated Huo Tian back then was too overboard. Not only did they not feel guilty, but they also hated Huo Tian even more. They only felt that they had lost their face in front of Si Huan because of a scourge like her.
Si Huan didn’t intend to leave any face for Mr. and Mrs. Huo. He continued, “Back then, I met Huo Tian by chance and allowed her to hitch a ride with me. I sent her to the street near the Ding Family. Later, because of the student union’s work, I interacted more with Huo Tian, and my understanding of her deepened.”
He took a sip of tea, and when he talked about this, his eyes became extremely gentle. “To be honest, I don’t know what my feelings for Huo Tian are right now. If I say that I have a good impression of her, that’s after she left the Huo Family. If she were still the Huo Family’s young miss, I would probably never like her for my entire life.”
Mr. Huo’s face was livid, and the muscle on his cheeks twitched. He gritted his teeth and glared at Si Huan. “Si Huan, what do you mean?”
Si Huan smiled lightly and said, “Uncle Huo, what I mean is that I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. Whether it’s in consideration of Huo Tian’s feelings or my own wishes, I won’t persuade Huo Tian to return to the Huo Family. On the contrary, if it’s possible, I’ll let her draw a clear line between her and the Huo Family.”
Mr. Huo stood up immediately. “Is this your own attitude or the entire Si Family’s attitude?”
Si Huan looked up at the angry man in front of him. Although he was sitting, his aura was not inferior to Mr. Huo’s.
“My attitude is the attitude of the entire Si Family. Uncle Huo, I’m already the one in control of the Si Family. To be honest, when you were pretending to be an elder in front of me just now, it was really annoying. I hope you’ll have some self-esteem in the future. Otherwise, you’ll be detested by others very easily.”
Mr. and Mrs. Huo did not expect Si Huan to say such words. Their expressions were wonderful for a moment. They wanted to vent their anger, but they were afraid that Si Huan would say something that would make them feel even worse. In the end, the two of them could only endure this anger and leave hurriedly with a flick of their sleeves.
When they reached home, Huo Feng, who was full of anticipation, welcomed Mr. and Mrs. Huo.. When Huo Feng noticed their gloomy attitude, the joy on his face immediately fell. He frowned and asked his parents, “Sister refuses to come back with you?”
