Huo You said bluntly, “I didn’t come to look for you today because I really want to apologize to you. Maybe my attitude towards you is a little extreme, but I have the right to hate or like someone, right?”
Huo Tian nodded and said calmly, “Of course. Just like how I hate you, you can hate me too. But since we hate each other, why did you take the initiative to come up to me?”
Huo You smiled mockingly. “It can’t be helped. It’s all because you have a different identity now, becoming the young miss of the Hill Family overnight. It’s all because I have such parents who value benefits so much. If I don’t apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness, the Huo Family wouldn’t be able to get the invitation to your birthday banquet. Both of them would have been humiliated. This is probably the most unacceptable situation for them.”
As she spoke, Huo You sneered. When she mentioned Mr. and Mrs. Huo, she no longer had any respect. Instead, she said with contempt, “To be honest, the reason you didn’t send the Huo Family an invitation shouldn’t be because I went against you in school. It’s more likely that it’s because you’ve already used 20 million yuan to cut off your relationship with the Huo Family. However, they can’t figure out that the real reason is on them. Instead, they feel that by pushing me out as a shield, they can eliminate the barrier between you guys. How ridiculous!”
Huo Tian didn’t deny Huo You’s words. She even nodded in agreement. “Since you know that the real reason isn’t you and that you might not be able to get the invitation even if you came to apologize to me, why did you still come?”
Huo You looked down at the ground and said coldly, “It’s because I don’t have any other choice. Huo Tian, I’m not like you, who can express your thoughts bluntly and reject things that you’re unwilling to do. I want to live well in the Huo Family and want to get more things. Therefore, I can only go against my wishes and listen to their orders. This is why I came to look for you.”
Huo Tian’s curiosity was already satisfied and she wasn’t willing to continue chatting with Huo You.
She nodded to show that she knew what Huo You was thinking, then said casually, “Actually, you don’t have to come to me. Huo Feng called me yesterday afternoon and asked about my identity and invitation. I know what that couple is like. If they knew that Huo Feng could contact me but didn’t get an invitation, they might blame it all on Huo Feng. Therefore, I’ve already agreed to send the invitation over after a while.”
Huo You had to rely on her strong willpower to control her increasingly raging temper to be able to talk to Huo Tian for so long.
However, she finally couldn’t control her composure anymore. She stood up from the chair and raised her voice, losing her composure. “What did you say? You already promised Huo Feng to send an invitation to the Huo Family? Why didn’t he tell me about this?”
Huo Tian shrugged and looked at Huo You innocently. “You should ask Huo Feng about this. Why are you asking me?”
Facing the innocent Huo Tian, Huo You almost burst out with anger. Fortunately, she still had a trace of rationality and knew that the current Huo Tian was no longer the powerless high school student from the past. The latter’s identity and background were not something she could afford to provoke. She finally managed to barely maintain her composure after taking a few deep breaths.
However, Huo You’s clenched fists and gritted teeth exposed her uneasiness. “In that case, I’ve disturbed you today.. I’ll leave right away!”
