Chapter 149: Huo You’s Regret

In her previous life, Huo You had lived in that slum-like place for more than 20 years. Although she abhorred that kind of living environment, Huo You also passively received some information from the slums.

She knew that two streets away from her house, there was a genius prodigy who had taken the world by storm—Bi Ying.

The crippled boy who could only struggle on in the wheelchair, because of his aunt’s negligence, had maggots growing out of his lower body. However, he survived strongly and relied on his amazing programming skills to achieve outstanding achievements. He also brought his uncle, who was released from prison, with him and left that hell-like place.

In Huo You’s memories, there were only a few memories of Bi Ying. One was when Bi Ying earned a lot of money from his programming and left the slums with his uncle.

Back then, Huo You was standing by the roadside like many others, looking at the boy who was carried to the car by his uncle with envy. She remembered that she had met Bi Ying’s gaze and was shocked by the bottomless darkness in his eyes.

Later on, Huo You returned to the Huo Family. As a girl who had returned to her parents’ side only in her twenties, Huo You carefully tried to please her parents and her husband every day.

She had heard Bi Ying’s name from her parents and husband more than once, as a rising star in technology. She had also often seen pictures of Bi Ying being interviewed in a wheelchair in magazines that her husband often flipped through. However, she had never taken him to heart. In her previous life, Huo You had even avoided the name Bi Ying because it represented the over 20 years she found unbearable to look back on.

As for the young man in front of her, the outline of his face was beginning to overlap with the gloomy and skinny technological genius in the photos many years later.

Huo You realized in frustration that she had missed out on Bi Ying. In this life, she had been anxious to return to the Huo Family and get rid of Huo Tian, that she had overlooked Bi Ying, who could have given her a lot of help.

At that moment, Huo You felt a little regretful. She had been focusing all her energy on Huo Tian, but she had neglected those people who would become big shots and shine in the future.

If she could become friends with a big shot in technology like Bi Ying, or even lend him a helping hand when Bi Ying was in trouble like how Huo Tian did, she might be able to get a friend with great prospects. She might even get a follower who would follow her orders…

Huo You hid her frustrations and beamed brightly at Bi Ying. “Hello, I’m Huo You.”

She stretched out her hand, wanting to give Bi Ying a friendly greeting.

However, Bi Ying would never cease the coldness and impatience on his face because of the friendliness Huo You showed.

When Huo You was sizing him up earlier, Bi Ying had recalled some bad memories. Back when he was young and had returned to the He Family, He Yu and the rest of the He Family had stared at him as if he was some sort of commodity. It was as if they were constantly trying to estimate Bi Ying’s value.

Bi Ying knew most relationships people had were that of exploiting or being exploited. When a person was weak, they would often be sized up by others as if they were goods. Bi Ying still remembered that when he was four years old, he had stood pitifully at the entrance of the He Family’s villa and had been harshly mocked by He Yu, who was looking impatient. In the end, Bi Ying had to pay the price of having both legs crippled to be able to successfully leave the He Family.

Now, someone was sizing Bi Ying up again from head to toe as if they were looking at an object. He really felt disgusted.

Bi Ying also knew that Huo Tian didn’t like Huo You, so his expression was as grim as it could be. He still stood by the door and asked coldly, “What do you want?”

Bi Ying’s attitude was cold, but Huo You didn’t take it to heart. She knew that geniuses like Bi Ying were proud and aloof. As long as she could rope in such a genius, so what if she had to suffer some cold shoulders?

A dignified smile appeared on Huo You’s face. “Bi Ying, I used to live very close to your family. Maybe we’ve even met before…”

“I’m sorry, I’m not interested in who you are or where you used to live.” Bi Ying didn’t hide the impatience on his face and said coldly, “My time is very precious. If there’s nothing else, leave.”

The smile on Huo You’s face froze. Seeing that Bi Ying really wanted to close the door, she didn’t care about trying to pull connections with him and quickly said, “I’m here to look for Huo Tian. Can you call her out?”

Bi Ying frowned slightly. “You want to find trouble for Huo Tian again?”

“No, I’m not…” Seeing Bi Ying’s expression start to turn bad, Huo You quickly explained. She suppressed the anger in her heart and barely managed to maintain a friendly expression as she explained,” I promise I’m only here to ask Huo Tian some things. I definitely don’t have the intention to find trouble for her.”

Bi Ying recalled the few confrontations between Huo Tian and Huo You. Huo Tian always had the upper hand, so he wasn’t worried anymore.
