Chapter 49 - Huo Feng
Chapter 49: Huo Feng
Huo Feng was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Huo, and he was Huo You’s younger brother. Some time ago, he had applied for a science summer camp during the summer vacation which cut him off from communication. His family couldn’t contact him, so Huo Feng still didn’t know that his beloved sister, Huo Tian, wasn’t of the Huo Family’s bloodline and she had already been chased away to live in the slums.
Huo You felt depressed at the thought of Huo Feng. She was his biological sister, but in her previous life, Huo Feng had been very good to Huo Tian, but he had only been patronizing her.
Huo You wanted to get everything that belonged to her based on her memories from her past life, but Mrs. Huo was trying to suppress her for Huo Feng’s sake. This made Huo You hate her biological brother, Huo Feng, even more.
However, Huo You didn’t dare to be disrespectful to Mrs. Huo, let alone show her ambitions for the Huo Corporation in front of her. She could only lower her head to hide her emotions and say in a low voice, “Mom, don’t worry. I won’t fight with my brother.”
She thought that her concession could get Mrs. Huo’s satisfaction, but she heard Mrs. Huo say in an extremely disdainful tone, “What right do you have to compete with Little Feng? Stay in your place and stop showing off your wits.”
With that, Mrs. Huo stood up and walked up the stairs. She did not notice that behind her, her biological daughter was looking at her with an unwilling and aggrieved expression. In the end, that expression changed to be filled with crazy hatred.
…
Huo Tian and Bi Ying stayed in the workshop for the entire night and made a simple automatic alarm device.
Bi Ying was so tired that he collapsed onto the camp bed in the workshop. He fell asleep the moment he closed his eyes.
It was already three in the morning and the sky was still dark. However, Huo Tian did not have any sense of time and ran excitedly to knock on Ding Rong’s door.
Ding Rong came to open the door for Huo Tian in an old nightdress. Although she had been suddenly woken up from her sleep, her eyes looking sleepy and her hair messy, she was still looking graceful and had an alluring disposition.
She seemed a little panicked. “What’s wrong, Tiantian? Did something happen?”
“Mom! I made an extremely cool alarm device!”
Huo Tian raised the item in her hand excitedly in front of Ding Rong.
Ding Rong heaved a sigh of relief, then was caught between laughter and tears. “Why are you in such a hurry? There’s still time to show it to me in the morning.”
She pulled Huo Tian into her room as she spoke.
Huo Tian giggled like a child while being pulled by Ding Rong.
“Mom, I specially made this for you.” Huo Tian put a wristwatch on Ding Rong’s wrist, then took out necklaces, brooches, and other accessories.
“These are sensor devices. If you suffer a malicious attack, the sensor devices will send a signal back to your wristwatch. It will then emit a loud alarm!”
Ding Rong had long been used to Huo Tian fiddling around with things in the workshop and had never asked what she had made. After dinner yesterday, Huo Tian pulled Bi Ying into the workshop again. Ding Rong didn’t mind it, but she didn’t expect Huo Tian to stay up the entire night to make protective equipment for herself.
Ding Rong’s heart ached uncontrollably, but she was happy deep down. She blinked and suppressed her tears. Seeing her daughter squatting down to put on an anklet on her, she could not help but reach out to pat Huo Tian’s head.
Sensing the gentle touch on the top of her head, Huo Tian looked up and smiled. “Mom, why are you touching my head?”
Ding Rong bent over and hugged Huo Tian. “Mom is too happy to have received Tiantian’s gift. Thank you, Tiantian.”
“This isn’t a gift!” Huo Tian explained seriously. “These are equipment that can let you protect yourself well. That stinky old man from the Huo Family actually came to threaten me yesterday. I’m worried that they’d hurt you, so I did this.”
“Anything Tiantian gives me is a gift.” Ding Rong looked at Huo Tian dotingly without any nervousness. “Mom is not afraid of their threats either. I will be safe with Tiantian protecting me.”
Huo Tian didn’t know what was humble at all. She nodded hard to show her agreement. “That’s right, I’ll protect Mom well!”
Then Huo Tian thought of something and added, “There’s also Uncle. Although he fights well, he has to be careful too. Sigh, what would happen if I’m not around in this family?”
Ding Rong was amused by her smug look and nodded with a smile. “Indeed, this family can’t do without Tiantian.”
It didn’t take long for Huo Tian’s excitement to subside. She yawned one after another.
“Mom, I’m so tired. Can you help me take a day off from school?” Huo Tian lay down on the bed in a daze and muttered, “Mom’s bed is so fragrant and soft. I don’t want to get up.”
Ding Rong shook her head helplessly. She helped Huo Tian take off her shoes and jacket and covered her with a blanket.
…
In Longyearbyen, the city nearest to the North Pole, Huo Feng and his companions finally ended their summer camp life, which had lasted for more than a month.
He checked into a hotel in Longyearbyen. After getting a good rest he called his sister excitedly. He wanted to share his experiences during this period of time with his sister, but what he received was the notification that the phone was switched off.
Opening the social media application that was filled with messages, Huo Feng finally found out what had happened to the Huo Family from his friend’s messages.
“What? Sister was chased away?”
