Huo Tian didn’t explain but said in annoyance, “It’s your freedom to get engaged to a kidnapper or murderer. I just feel that since you want to be with the mastermind who hurt my mother, don’t shamelessly mention my mother anymore!”
“After all, there’s no relationship between the two of you anymore. It might be because Mom didn’t ask you for living expenses that you shamelessly think that Mom still treats you as her daughter? If that’s really what you think, I’ll get Mom to do a check and then send the bill to the Huo Family. I hope you know your place.”
These words completely infuriated Huo You. She couldn’t maintain her composure anymore and glared at Huo Tian, saying through gritted teeth, “Do you think I’m willing to get involved with that family who lives in the slums? A tailor who smiles at all guests, a hooligan who only knows how to idle around all day. Only a pitiful wretch like you, who has never felt any kinship, would care for a family like them!”
After Huo You lost it and vented her anger, everyone looked at her, stunned.
Xu Mei, who had been a little swayed in her decision by Huo You’s repeated invitations, subconsciously took a step back to put some distance between them. She even secretly wondered if this hysterical and crazy woman was really the kind, gentle, and generous friend she remembered.
Just as the classroom fell into an uncomfortable silence, a knock on the door broke the stagnant atmosphere.
Everyone turned around and saw Si Huan, who was tall and looked gentle and amicable, standing at the classroom’s door.
Si Huan’s gaze wandered around the classroom and finally found Huo Tian, who was surrounded by the crowd.
At the same time, he also saw Huo You’s strange expression and knew that Huo You was probably here to find trouble for Huo Tian again.
He asked curiously, “What happened? Why are you all gathered here?”
When they realized that the person who came was Si Huan, everyone cleared a path for him, letting Si Huan walk to the center position.
Si Huan looked at Huo You and couldn’t help but frown slightly. He stood beside Huo Tian and placed a hand on her shoulder, saying in a soothing voice, “Is someone looking for trouble again?”
Huo Tian shrugged helplessly. “As you can see, my birthday banquet coincided with Miss Huo’s engagement banquet. She wanted to invite the two students in our class, but these two students had already agreed to attend my birthday banquet, so Miss Huo thinks that I’ve snatched her things again and is being unreasonable here.”
“Huo Tian, who are you calling unreasonable?” Huo You glared at Huo Tian and Si Huan.
However, the two of them ignored the incompetent and furious Huo You. Si Huan patted Huo Tian’s shoulder reassuringly and said with a smile, “I see, but this Miss Huo won’t have to worry anymore soon.”
He looked at Huo You and said indifferently, “Miss Huo, you probably don’t know yet that Tiantian’s biological father has returned. That’s why he’s planning to use Tiantian’s birthday to let the members of the Hill Family get to know the family head’s beloved daughter.”
“Uncle Xi has already sent out the invitations to the banquet. Some parts of the guest list overlap with the guests invited to Miss Huo’s engagement banquet. I think everyone will be more willing to give the Hill Family’s head face. Therefore, Miss Huo’s engagement banquet might be held on a different date. At that time, the guests that Miss Huo wishes to invite won’t be put in a difficult position…”
Everyone looked at each other.. Xu Mei suddenly said, “That American pharmaceutical tycoon, Hill? His family booked all the luxury suites in our hotel!”
