Mrs. Huo covered half of her face. The burning pain allowed her to temporarily regain her senses.
Mr. Huo’s eyes were cold and his voice was filled with impatience. “Have you had enough? Do you think you haven’t embarrassed yourself enough today?”
After being slapped, Mrs. Huo did not dare to curse loudly anymore. However, the pain on her face and the grievance in her heart could not be resolved. She could only suppress her voice and sob softly.
Mr. Huo was also angry. He knew that his slap just now was partly to vent his emotions. After a long while, his tone softened a little and he said to Mrs. Huo, “Now that things have come to this, there’s no point in saying anything. If you had shared some of the good treatment you’d given Little Feng with
Huo Tian in the past, she would still have feelings for us after leaving the Huo Family. Then how could it be that what’s waiting for us now is the disregard of the Hill Family and the humiliation from a small fry like Ding Chen?”
Mrs. Huo was secretly indignant about this. Back then, when she didn’t know that Huo Tian wasn’t her biological daughter, the reason why Mrs. Huo ignored or even abused Huo Tian wasn’t because there were no blood ties between them, leading to her being unable to have motherly love toward her
Mrs. Huo recalled the times back then. The reason she didn’t value that little girl was entirely due to Mr. Huo’s influence.
At that time, Mr. Huo was afraid that Old Master Huo would pass down the family to Huo Xia, whose condition was gradually getting better, due to his outstanding talent. As a result, he was anxious to give birth to the Huo Family’s eldest grandson. However, Mrs. Huo had given birth to a girl after her
ten-months pregnancy. This made Mr. Huo very disappointed. Every time he saw Huo Tian, his eyes would be filled with disgust and displeasure.
Mrs. Huo, who had always followed her husband’s orders, sharply noticed his attitude towards Huo Tian. In addition, back then, Mr. Huo had even gotten into a scandal with a popular celebrity. The news media was in an uproar, saying that the female celebrity was pregnant with Mr. Huo’s son. As long as
the child was born, the female celebrity would be able to successfully climb up the ladder and become Mrs. Huo.
Back then, Mrs. Huo couldn’t help but blame Huo Tian for her husband’s extramarital affair, causing her to hate that little girl who didn’t know anything.
Later on, news of the female celebrity’s fake pregnancy broke out, Old Master Huo also got into an accident. Before he died, he didn’t pass down the family assets to his beloved youngest son. Mr. Huo had gotten everything he wanted, and Mrs. Huo was also happy for her husband. Moreover, they had long
been used to treating their eldest daughter coldly and had never thought of repairing their relationship with Huo Tian. As a result, even if they regretted it a lot, they couldn’t let Huo Tian have feelings of love toward them anymore.
Mrs. Huo recalled how Huo Tian had slowly become divided with them over the years and realized that the source wasn’t her but Mr. Huo.
However, Mr. Huo pushed all the blame onto Mrs. Huo. It seemed like all the discord in family relationships were caused by Mrs. Huo’s mistakes.
After living with her husband for so many years, Mrs. Huo had long understood Mr. Huo’s true colors. However, even at this moment, she still felt disappointed by his performance.
However, Mr. Huo was unaware of Mrs. Huo’s thoughts. Looking out of the car window and seeing that they were almost at the Huo Family’s villa, he thought of something and asked the driver in front, “Who did Young Master leave with?”
When they went to the banquet, the Huo Family went in two cars because there were many people. Mr. and Mrs. Huo took one, and Huo You and Huo Feng took the other.
When they returned, this was the only vehicle left that belonged to the Huo Family. Huo You and Huo Feng were already gone.
Previously, Mr. Huo was in a fluctuating mood and didn’t notice anything else. Only now did he remember Huo Xia, who was looking at him at the banquet hall’s entrance, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.
The chauffeur in front replied respectfully with a calm voice, “Young Miss took Mr. He Yu’s car and left first. Young Master left alone.”
Mr. Huo heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Huo Feng’s encounter with Huo Xia at the banquet was just an accident. Although he didn’t understand why Huo Xia could receive the Hill Family’s invitation, as long as Huo Feng didn’t get too involved with him, there shouldn’t be any problem.
Recalling the cold gaze Huo Xia gave him, Mr. Huo felt a little uneasy. He muttered, “It seems that Ill have to remind Little Feng later to stay away from Huo Xia. That smart guy probably wants to achieve something by roping in Little Feng.”
