Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The semester was over. On this day, the school gathered all the students just to announce the results, distribute the papers, assign homework during the holidays, as well as instruct them on the safety matters to take note of during the winter vacation.
Therefore, Huo You looked for her form teacher and used the excuse that she wasn’t feeling well to get permission to leave the school early.
After returning to the Huo Family, Huo You realized that the atmosphere at home was very strange. Mr. and Mrs. Huo were both at home, sitting on the sofa in silence. They were shrouded by a complicated atmosphere.
When they saw Huo You, who had returned early, their expressions looked a little off.
Huo You’s heart sank. She walked over carefully and greeted Mr. and Mrs. Huo, “Dad, Mom, I’m back.”
Mr. Huo’s gaze seemed like he was looking at a piece of good. He sized up and down at Huo You, who was standing in front of Huo You from top to bottom, his expression changing several times. Huo You thought that he wanted to say something to her, but Mr. Huo didn’t say anything. He only nodded at Huo You, stood up, and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Mrs. Huo glanced at Huo You and then looked away as if she was considering how to tell Huo You something.
She took a sip of coffee and said slowly, “Your father and I discussed this. Your engagement with He Yu will be temporarily canceled…”
Huo You’s fingers gripped the straps of her bag tightly, and her face turned pale. Although she hated this marriage that had been arranged by her parents, Huo You didn’t feel happy at all when she heard that the engagement banquet had been canceled. Instead, she felt a huge sense of panic.
It was because Huo You knew that the cancellation of the engagement banquet didn’t mean that her parents had started to respect her thoughts. It was more likely that what Si Huan said in school was true.
Huo Tian’s biological father was found and he was preparing to hold a grand banquet for her on her 19th birthday. This banquet would reveal Huo Tian’s true identity and let her become the beloved daughter of a world-class wealthy family overnight from a fake young miss who had been chased away by the Huo Family.
After her rebirth, Huo You’s greatest obsession was to hope that she could have a perfect life. At the very least, she wanted to live a better life than the fake daughter Huo Tian who had taken her place in the Huo Family.
In order to achieve this goal, Huo You had spent a lot of effort to chase Huo Tian out of the Huo Family in advance. But why was Huo Tian always so lucky? After leaving the Huo Family, a wealthy family in S City, she had changed overnight and became the biological daughter of a world-class wealthy family.

Huo You couldn’t help but wonder why God was treating Huo Tian so well, giving all the luck to her.

With this in mind, she sat down dejectedly on the sofa. After a long silence, she said, “Is Huo Tian really the daughter of the Hill Family’s head?”
Huo You thought that Mr. and Mrs. Huo already knew about this, but after saying this, she realized that Mrs. Huo had suddenly sat up straight.
The shock on Mrs. Huo’s face didn’t seem to be fake. She raised her voice in surprise and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? How did Huo Tian become the young miss of the Hill Family?”
Huo You asked in confusion, “You don’t know this yet? Then why did you cancel the engagement banquet?”
Mrs. Huo frowned tightly and said, “We only heard that the head of the Hill Family is on vacation in S City recently. Coincidentally, his daughter is about to celebrate her 19th birthday and he is using this as an excuse to prepare a grand banquet. When the time comes, the members of the Hill Family abroad and the other world-class wealthy families who have collaborations with the Hill Family will send people to S City to attend this banquet…”
“Although our Huo Family has some reputation in S City and even in China, we can’t compare to the world’s top elite Hill Family.. Therefore, we have no choice but to postpone the engagement banquet to avoid them.”
