The butler’s attitude towards Si Huan wasn’t as amicable as it had been in the past. The way he looked at Si Huan was like he was looking at a big bad wolf. Si Huan was a little speechless. The change in his attitude was so fast without any warning at all. It was clearly saying that there was some inside story to this.

However, Huo Tian was an insensitive person and didn’t notice anything wrong…

Si Huan spoke to Huo Tian, who was eating, then went to look for Xi Cheng. He wanted to figure out Xi Cheng’s attitude before Xi Cheng revealed everything to Huo Cheng.

Just like he did in the past, Si Huan greeted Xi Cheng respectfully, “Good morning, Mr. Xi.”

Xi Cheng glanced at Si Huan and nodded casually. “Hello.”

Then, Xi Cheng stopped hiding his absent-mindedness and continued to stare blankly at the door.

Si Huan sighed helplessly. “Mr. Xi, Huo Tian slept in the morning and didn’t have breakfast. She’s currently being served by the butler to have some food. You might need to wait a little longer.”

Xi Cheng came back to his senses and frowned, his heart aching as he said, “I already said that there’s no need to trouble that child to come over. It’s too tiring to have to come over here so early in the morning.”

Si Huan glanced at his watch unobtrusively. It was already ten in the morning. Getting up at this time shouldn’t be considered tough, but forget it. There was no need to hold it against a person who had temporarily lost his cool…

He skipped this topic and probed, “Mr. Xi, you’ve been living abroad. Your wife must be anxious from all the waiting since you’ve been staying so long here after coming back this time around. Why don’t you bring Mrs. Xi over? There are beautiful rivers and mountains in China too. You can take this opportunity to tour around with Madam.”

Xi Cheng thought that Si Huan was just being polite like the other businessmen. He frowned impatiently and said, “My wife is in the country. There’s no need for you to worry about that.”

Si Huan had wanted to test if Xi Cheng had gotten married when he was overseas, but he did not expect to get this answer. He did not understand for a moment if the wife Xi Cheng mentioned was the lady he was thinking of.

Usually, with Xi Cheng’s sharpness, he would have known what Si Huan wanted to ask long ago. However, his mind was focused on Huo Tian now, so he didn’t have the mood to think about Si Huan’s true intentions.

Si Huan thought about it and took out the box with the jade pendant. He placed it in front of Xi Cheng, who frowned and looked at the box on the table impatiently. He thought that this was a gift from Si Huan. He wondered to himself that this child seemed quite smart usually, but why was he so tactless today? This gift would be put to waste if it couldn’t get the recipient’s favor.

Xi Cheng reached out his hand and took the small velvet box, wanting to casually stuff it in the drawers.

Si Huan stopped him and said, “Mr. Xi, this isn’t for you. It belongs to Huo Tian.”

“What?” Xi Cheng looked at Si Huan in confusion. “Since this belongs to Tiantian… Huo Tian, why is it in your hands? Did she ask you to pass it to me?”

Si Huan shook his head. “No, Mr. Xi. Back then, when Huo Tian left the Huo Family, she was asked to pay 20 million yuan for her living expenses. When Mr. and Mrs. Huo came to collect the debt, the Ding Family collateralized the item Huo Tian’s father left behind to me and borrowed 20 million yuan to return to the Huo Family. Now that Huo Tian has paid me the money, I was just about to give the collateral to Huo Tian today and I want you to be my witness.”

Xi Cheng’s expression turned increasingly grim as Si Huan explained, “You’re saying that the Huo Family asked for 20 million yuan for Huo Tian’s living expenses despite knowing that Rongrong… Huo Tian’s mother wasn’t well-off?”

After confirming that Ding Rong was his wife yesterday, Xi Cheng had another dream that night. In the dream, he finally walked up to his wife and held her hand. He could clearly hear himself calling his wife “Rongrong…” in his dream.

Hence, when Xi Cheng talked to Si Huan, he blurted out his nickname for his wife. It was unknown if Si Huan had noticed this.

However, the most important thing now wasn’t what Si Huan thought, but the Huo Family who had raised Huo Tian for 18 years…

Xi Cheng narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, “It seems like the Huo Family has a lot of complaints about having brought back the wrong child..”
