Chapter 117: Wishing You Success In Your Love Life
The three of them gathered together and whispered amongst themselves. In the end, they all felt that Huo Tian should really have gotten together with Si Huan. After all, the debt of 20 million yuan was an astronomical price for Huo Tian’s current family, but it was not worth mentioning for Si Huan.
The three of them complained in their hearts that the Huo Family was too unreasonable, but they were Huo You’s sidekicks after all, so they couldn’t say bad things about her family. However, other people didn’t have this concern.
“Hey, did you guys hear? The Huo Family, who had brought back the wrong daughter, had their adopted daughter pay 20 million yuan for her living expenses when they chased her away…”
“Do you know the Huo Family? It’s the Huo Family where there was a case of a real and fake daughter! Their family is too inhumane to ask for 20 million yuan from the family that brought back the wrong child. They are an ordinary family…”
“Do you think the 20 million yuan Huo Family can’t hold on anymore? My father was even planning on collaborating with them a while ago. No, I have to go back and tell my family about this!”
…
The gossip in the school spread very quickly. In just two days, almost everyone knew that the Huo Family had asked Huo Tian for 20 million yuan as her living expenses for the past 18 years. Everyone sighed and felt pity for her, but some treated it as a joke. In short, this matter spread just like that.
However, no one dared to discuss this in front of Huo You. For the past two days, Huo You had felt like people were looking at her indiscernibly. However, when she looked over, she only saw students gathered together and talking.
Si Huan had also felt like there were sneaky glances at him over the past two days. He tolerated it at first, but as time passed, he couldn’t tolerate it no matter how hard he tried.
He raised his head and looked at Zhao Feng, who was just about to shift his gaze. “You’ve been looking at me like that for almost two days. If there’s anything, just say it. It’s too hard for someone like you to be hesitant in saying something.”
Caught in the act, Zhao Feng coughed awkwardly. Then he came back to his senses and complained unhappily, “What do you mean by someone like me? Explain yourself!”
“Strong sense of curiosity and can’t hide your thoughts.” Si Huan put down the document, walked to the refreshments area, and poured two cups of coffee. He handed one to Zhao Feng. “Speak up, what do you want to ask me? Why did you take so long to ask?”
Zhao Feng took the coffee and got close to Si Huan excitedly, his eyes shining with gossip. “I heard that you’ve gotten together with Huo Tian. Is that true?”
Si Huan didn’t answer directly but asked, “Where did you hear this from?”
“Other people in the school were spreading this. They said that you helped Huo Tian return 20 million yuan to the Huo Family, so you must have gotten together with her.” Zhao Feng didn’t see anything from his friend’s expressionless face and sighed dully.
“Forget it, I knew that gossip isn’t reliable. You’ve always been very generous to your friends. Lending Huo Tian 20 million yuan isn’t a big deal.”
Zhao Feng felt that he knew Si Huan very well. Looking at Si Huan’s unchanged expression, he felt that the rumor was unreliable. Hence, Zhao Feng, who wasn’t able to get amusement from the gossip, looked dejected and drank his coffee sluggishly.
However, his friend, who didn’t seem like he had fallen in love at all, said something very surprising.
“As of now, this news is still a rumor, but in the future…” Si Huan seemed to have thought of Huo Tian’s appearance and smiled gently. “Who knows? ”
“Cough, cough, cough, cough…”
Zhao Feng choked on his coffee and coughed. It took him a while to recover. He looked at Si Huan in disbelief. “You… Toward Huo Tian… No, were you serious when you said that?”
Si Huan avoided the coffee that Zhao Feng spurt out and looked at the sloppy mess he had created in disdain. “Is it something worth being so surprised over?”
“How isn’t it worth feeling surprised over? That’s Huo Tian we’re talking about!” Zhao Feng’s face was full of conflict. “She has machinery, smart technology, and all kinds of strange thoughts in her head, but it’s impossible for her to have thoughts about love! Are you crazy? You actually fell for the most difficult girl in the world!”
“What you’re describing is Frankenstein. How is Huo Tian like what you said?” Si Huan subconsciously defended Huo Tian. When he met Zhao Feng’s complicated gaze, he pretended to be calm and looked away. He said, “I know Huo Tian has never considered love before. I also need more time to take care of the Si Family’s matters. You don’t have to worry about my relationship.”
Zhao Feng clearly sensed the changes in Si Huan. In the past, Si Huan had never taken those vermin from the Si Family seriously. He no longer had his parents and grandfather and was forced to be shackled by the name of the Si Family. Hence, he had always let those people from the Si Family do whatever they wanted. He wanted to let the great tree that the Si Family was acting as collapse from decay, letting all those people who were sprawled over his parents and grandfather and sucking their blood fall into hell…
In the past, Zhao Feng watched Si Huan walk towards the abyss step by step. He wanted to pull his friend up, but he was helpless.
Now, because of Huo Tian’s appearance, Si Huan had taken the initiative to punish those disobedient fellows from the Si Family.
He patted Si Huan’s shoulder. “As your brother, I can only wish you success in your love life.”
