In the face of Ding Chen’s accusation, Huo Tian refuted guiltily, “I just want Mom to be happier. It’s not like you don’t know that after so many years, Mom has never been able to forget Dad. It just so happens that Dad has also been looking for Mom over the years. How can I bear to let the two of them miss out on this?”
The mind of Ding Chen, who was in a furious state, was very sharp. He had analyzed the main points of Huo Tian’s complaints from earlier. Hence, he smiled With the shadow and a smile and mocked her.
“That’s right, you couldn’t bear to let them continue to be apart, but now, you feel that the two of them are stuck together all the time and have completely neglected you. That’s why you remembered to tell this cheap uncle about it, right?”

Huo Tian’s thoughts were exposed and her cheeks immediately burned. She felt a little guilty, but she still forced herself to keep up her act and to say to Ding Chen, “Don’t mock me. Are you willing to let Dad have Mom completely? Mom even ignored me. I don’t believe that she’ll still remember to care about you!”
At the mention of this, Ding Chen could not help but grit his teeth. “You’re right. Your mother didn’t even call me. In the past, when I traveled further, she would check the weather forecasts of the city I was in every day, reminding me to wear more or fewer clothes, bring an umbrella, and remind me to eat well. Now, she doesn’t even call me!”
Huo Tian felt a little comfortable hearing Ding Chen’s aggrieved tone and could not help but gloat. “Uncle, you sound like a resentful wife who has discovered that her husband has cheated on her…”
“How are you any better off?” Ding Chen rebutted with a fake smile. “We’re the same!”
Hence, Huo Tian’s face also turned bitter. The two of them hurt each other for a while before Huo Tian started talking about serious matters. “Uncle, how’s the business talks on your side going? When are you coming back?”
Ding Chen calculated in his heart and said, “We’ve already reached a preliminary agreement with the person in charge of the healthcare system here. There are only some details of the contract that need to be finalized. I’ll leave Old Zhu and the lawyer here to keep an eye on things then have a meal with the other party. I’ll go home tomorrow.”
Huo Tian heaved a sigh of relief. “Uncle, it’s good that you can come back. These two days, when I returned home, the two of them had completely ignored me. Sometimes, I really feel like I’m an invisible person. When you come back, at least I can talk to you and not seem so lonely and pitiful.”
Ding Chen was full of contempt for Huo Tian. “You’re usually such an arrogant person, but you were actually bullied by a scumbag who appeared out of nowhere. You’re really useless.”
Huo Tian, who was mocked, was immediately dissatisfied. “Hey, hey, Uncle, that scumbag is my father. No matter how arrogant I am, I can’t be arrogant to my parents, right?”
Ding Chen complained silently, “So you’re showing off in front of me, your uncle, right?”
Huo Tian stuck her tongue out and said a few perfunctory words before hanging up.
Bi Ying, who had listened to the entire conversation next to her, was a little hesitant. “Uncle seems to be very dissatisfied with Uncle Xi. If you complain to Uncle about Uncle Xi like this, will there be a conflict between him and Uncle Xi when he comes back?”
“Don’t worry.” Without waiting for Huo Tian to speak, Si Huan explained, “We’re letting Uncle come back now just to let him break up the atmosphere between Auntie Ding and Uncle Xi that is as if there’s no one else around. Even if Uncle is angry at Uncle Xi, he won’t go overboard. The medical equipment company under Uncle Xi’s name is our company’s largest client. Uncle won’t offend a big client for his private matters.”
Huo Tian nodded in agreement. “That’s right.. My uncle is such a pragmatic man. He’s a good boss who prioritizes the interests of the entire company!”
