Although Xi Cheng had already appeared to be calm and collected, Si Huan still sensed the anger under his calm surface. He did not have any intention of hiding things for the Huo Family and told them what he knew.

Si Huan said, “Although 20 million yuan is a lot, it’s just a drop in the ocean for the Huo Family. Back then, Mr. and Mrs. Huo asked Huo Tian to sign the IOU probably just to make her give up on them. Later on, in order to control Huo Tian, they suggested for her to repay the debt.”

Xi Cheng sharply caught the main point in Si Huan’s words. “They want to control Huo Tian? Tell me about this in detail.”

Si Huan tried to speak the truth as calmly as possible. “Auntie Ding was kidnapped. Mr. and Mrs. Huo heard the news from somewhere that Auntie Ding had an unfortunate encounter and they wanted Huo Tian to return to the Huo Family. Back then, they even came to look for me, wanting me to help persuade Huo Tian.”

When he heard that Ding Rong had been kidnapped, Xi Cheng gripped the armrest of the wheelchair tightly. Anger surged in his heart, and he tried hard to suppress his anger before barely managing to maintain his composure. He temporarily put aside the kidnapping incident and asked, “What did they say to you?”

Si Huan suddenly hesitated, but under Xi Cheng’s sharp gaze, he still said, “Mr. and Mrs. Huo probably thought that Huo Tian and I were already together. They said that a couple should be of equal social standing and asked me to persuade Huo Tian to return to the Huo Family. Perhaps they had only realized then that their biological daughter wasn’t that outstanding.”

Xi Cheng asked again, “What’s with the kidnapping?”

Si Huan frowned slightly and regretted saying too much to Xi Cheng. Initially, he just wanted to probe if his guess was right, but after letting Xi Cheng know too much, Si Huan was a little worried that Xi Cheng would lose control of his emotions.

Xi Cheng could tell the dilemma on Si Huan’s face. He seemed to be able to guess what Si Huan was thinking and said with a cold snort, “Si Family’s brat, you’re sharper than I imagined to be able to guess the reason I called Tiantian over today. However, you’re also more foolish than I thought. You think I can’t find out the truth just because you don’t say anything?”

Si Huan sighed and said helplessly, “Mr. Xi, I just don’t want you to be too angry. Back then, when Huo Tian found out about this, she almost killed someone. I’d never seen such a crazy side to Auntie Ding, so I think she must have inherited this part of her personality from the other side…”

What he meant was that since Xi Cheng was certain that he was Huo Tian’s father, could he guarantee that he wouldn’t suddenly go crazy as Huo Tian did?

Upon hearing Si Huan’s words, the expression on Xi Cheng’s face became very strange. He seemed to want to be angry, but the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up as if he wanted to smile…

In the end, Xi Cheng rubbed his face to make his expression look more normal before saying, “Your concerns are not unreasonable. Indeed, I’m sometimes not that rational…”

He really did not expect that Huo Tian had inherited his personality. She clearly resembled her mother, so Xi Cheng thought that other than being smarter than her parents, Huo Tian would be as sweet and cute as her name. He did not expect her to beat someone half to death. She seemed to have the demeanor he had when he was young and had worked as a mercenary.

Si Huan said, “Since you’re not too confident in your ability to manage your emotions either, I won’t tell you the entire story for the time being. You just need to know that the other party’s scheme didn’t succeed and they went for wool but came back shorn. Now, I would like to invite Mr. Xi to take a look at this jade pendant. Perhaps you’ve seen it before?”

Xi Cheng’s hand that was holding the box became a little stiff. He quietly took a deep breath and opened the box. In the black velvet cloth, the lustrous white jade pendant lay quietly.

It was as if time had never corroded the jade’s quality and it glowed even more than it had in Xi Cheng’s memories.

“This, this was given to me by my mother…”

Xi Cheng’s mother had gone abroad with her family during the war. They had expended all their money overseas and had only left behind some trinkets that could serve as keepsakes.. This jade pendant was the most valuable thing she had left behind for Xi Cheng.
