As soon as Huo Tian got out of the car, she could smell the sweet and sour pork ribs coming from her house. She cheered and rushed home.

“Mom, did you make a feast? Mom, I love you so much…”

The quiet and dull house immediately became lively.

The neighbor on the other side of the road laughed and greeted Bi Ying, who had just gotten out of the car. “Tiantian is really lively, but it’s just that she’s gluttonous. Bi Ying, the food in your school must be bad, right?”

Bi Ying was carrying two bags, one of which was Huo Tian’s.

Although he did not like to talk, he would still politely respond to others. “Hello, Auntie Liu. The food in our school is quite good. Huo Tian likes to use her brain, so she gets hungry faster.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Tiantian is very smart. She definitely needs the energy to learn. I’ll send some dumplings over after we’re done making them. You guys should get some nourishment.”

Bi Ying was not used to accepting goodwill from others. Huo Tian, who appeared at the door, agreed loudly.

“Thank you, Auntie Liu. My mom told me that your television is broken. I’ll fix it for you after dinner!”

“Oh, that’s great. The child has been making a fuss all day and wants to watch cartoons.”

Only then did Bi Ying understand that dumplings were a gift for repairing the television.

Huo Tian took her bag from Bi Ying’s hands and tugged on the sleeve of his school uniform with her other hand. “My mom made a lot of dishes today. Come and eat.”

Bi Ying was pressed onto a chair. He looked at the ordinary but sumptuous home-cooked dishes on the table, with Ding Rong smiling as she got food for Huo Tian and himself. From time to time, she would ask about their school life.

Bi Ying only felt that the Ding Family’s small house was just like the home in his dreams. There was a fragrant dinner, as well as close and harmonious relatives. The darkness that had been lingering in the depths of his heart seemed to slowly dissipate.

But not every family was as harmonious as the Ding Family.

The atmosphere at the Huo Family’s dining table was suffocating.

Neither Mrs. Huo and Huo You had any appetite, but they could only sit at the dining table and cut the steak in front of them mechanically before the family head was done with his meal.

“I’m done eating.”

The depressing atmosphere was finally broken by Father Huo. He wiped his mouth with a napkin and glanced at Mrs. Huo and Huo You, who were both sitting upright. He said, “Come with me to the study. I have something to say to the both of you.”

Mrs. Huo and Huo You’s faces turned pale at that moment, but they would not disobey Mr. Huo and followed him upstairs.

Mr. Huo looked at Mrs. Huo and Huo You who were sitting on the sofa. They were trying their best to hide their nervousness, but the only difference was that Mrs. Huo controlled her emotions better.

He said indifferently, “You two are indeed biological mother and daughter, making the same foolish mistakes. The Huo Family is going to be utterly humiliated by you two.”

Huo You looked down with a pale face, not daring to meet her father’s eyes.

Mrs. Huo forced herself to remain calm and said, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t careful enough. I didn’t expect Huo Tian to change so much during the time she left the Huo Family. She became so eloquent and no longer has the respect she once had for me.”

Mr. Huo let out a cold snort. “Do you think you know the Huo Tian from the past very well? Do you think a person will change so drastically in such a short time?”

Mrs. Huo frowned. “You mean that Huo Tian had hidden her true capabilities and character when she was in the Huo Family? Why would she do that?”

“As a mother, you brought up the child into that rebellious state, but now you’re asking me why she tried to conceal herself?”

Mr. Huo mocked, “I think that the hooligan from the Ding Family had said at least one thing right. The Huo Family’s upbringing is indeed not comparable to that of a single woman living in the slums.”

Mrs. Huo clenched her fists tightly, her delicate and beautiful nails pierced her palms. She did not dare to vent her emotions on her husband and could only look down silently.

In front of Huo You, Mr. Huo’s attitude was much more tolerant and amiable. “Youyou, I hope you can keep up with the excellence you had shown in the past. It’s not just about your grades, but more importantly, you have to maintain your composure. Don’t be as rebellious as Huo Tian used to be.”

Huo You heaved a sigh of relief and promised, “I’ll do it, Dad. I won’t let you down.”

“Of course you mustn’t let me down. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get anything from the Huo Family.”

Looking at his daughter’s pale face, Mr. Huo smiled reassuringly. “Don’t be afraid. I’m just reminding Youyou that you and He Yu from the Hein Corporation are getting along well. At least I’m satisfied with this.”

Huo You hadn’t made up her mind to spend the rest of her life with He Yu. However, in front of her father, she almost instinctively put on a shy appearance.

Her tone carried the shyness of a delicate girl when she thought of her lover. “Dad, He Yu and I recently…”

Mr. Huo smiled. “Your relationship has improved by leaps and bounds recently, hasn’t it? When he mentioned you in front of me, he looked like a young boy. Oh right, didn’t you tell him about the trouble you encountered at school?”

Huo You whispered, “I told him about it. He promised that he would help me to take care of it...”
