Fake Rich Daughter Is A Scientist From The Future

Chapter 150: My Father

Bi Ying said coldly, “Huo Tian is not in the laboratory now.”

Huo You quickly asked, “Then where did she go?”

Bi Ying raised his hand and pressed on the door. “Sorry, I have nothing to say.”

Huo You wanted to ask more, but the door had already closed.

The laboratory’s door could only be unlocked with a combination of fingerprint identification, password, and a special access card. Huo You couldn’t enter and could only stay outside anxiously.

Huo Tian did not know that Huo You was looking for her. She was currently in an old Republican-era-style manor in the downtown area. This old manor had a history of more than 100 years, and its exterior maintained the Republican era style. As for the interior, the original style was kept, with additions of many modern facilities for the convenience of the owner who had problems moving around.

Huo Tian met the male owner, Xi Cheng, who was seated on a wheelchair in the study on the second floor.

Xi Cheng was an extremely handsome middle-aged man. Although his legs were crippled, he did not give off a dejected feeling. He sat in a wheelchair, but the aura around him wouldn’t lose out to Si Huan, who was standing in front of him. Moreover, he had an additional dignified feeling brought by time as compared to Si Huan, making him look very charismatic.

When Huo Tian and Si Huan entered the house, Xi Cheng seemed to be handling some documents.

His brows were slightly furrowed and his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction caused all the servants in the room to be trembling in fear. Even Huo Tian unconsciously breathed lightly.

However, the moment Xi Cheng saw Huo Tian clearly, the coldness on his face immediately dissipated. He even broke into what could be said to be an amicable smile.

“This young lady must be Miss Huo Tian, right? I saw your performance at the product launch. To be honest, it’s admirable that you could achieve a career like this at such a young age.”

For some reason, although the man in front of her looked like a big shot who had been in the top position for a long time, Huo Tian did not feel nervous at all when facing him. On the contrary, she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to this man.

Hence, Si Huan saw Huo Tian, who had never been good at socializing, take the initiative to walk up to Xi Cheng. She smiled and said, “Thank you for your praise, but this is actually not my efforts alone. Although I’m a true-blue genius, I have to rely on help from my family and friends to put my thoughts into business.

Xi Cheng also seemed to enjoy Huo Tian’s closeness. He smiled and patted her hand. He looked up at Si Huan, who was a few steps away, and said, “The friend you mentioned who helped you is this young man from the Si Family, right? You have quite the foresight. With your foresight, in time, you’ll be able to bring the Si Corporation to a scale that even your grandfather and father failed to achieve.”

Si Huan sat down beside Huo Tian and was very respectful towards Xi Cheng. He nodded and replied, “Thank you for your affirmation.”

Compared to Huo Tian’s relaxed demeanor around Xi Cheng, even though Si Huan didn’t show any nervousness, he still appeared respectful and distant towards the big shot Xi Cheng.

Xi Cheng did not mind Si Huan’s attitude. In his opinion, Si Huan could be considered a junior with foresight and a bright future, but he had not grown to the point where he would view him in a different light.

Moreover, for some reason, Xi Cheng felt an unexplainable fondness and closeness to Huo Tian. Before they met, Xi Cheng had watched Huo Tian on the video and sighed countless times. “I wonder who’s so lucky to have such an outstanding daughter…”

Now that they had met, this thought had deepened.

After chatting for a while, Huo Tian found out about Xi Cheng’s physical condition and started to take measurements of his body’s data with the help of a professional doctor. This was to prepare for the designing of the exoskeleton device for Xi Cheng,

Xi Cheng watched as Huo Tian got busy working around him and he could not help but sigh. “Your parents must have done a lot of good deeds in their previous life to have a daughter as smart and capable as you.”

While recording the data, Huo Tian raised her head and smiled sweetly at Xi Cheng. “Actually, I’m the lucky one to have a mom who is willing to accept me unconditionally and will support me in whatever I do.”

Xi Cheng suddenly asked, “Then what about your father?”

As soon as the question left his mouth, Xi Cheng suddenly remembered the information he had checked previously. It showed that Huo Tian’s father had not appeared since she was born. Although he did not know how Huo Tian’s mother had talked about her father to her daughter, Xi Cheng guessed that it must be terms like “jerk” or “b*stard”.

Xi Cheng regretted mentioning Huo Tian’s sad past. Just as he was wondering how to coax this little girl, he saw a smile appear on Huo Tian’s face.

“Although I’ve never met my father, I know that he loves me very much. Moreover, even after more than ten years, my mother still loves him. Therefore, my father must be a very good man. At least, his looks won’t lose out to yours…”
