Chapter 32: Mrs. Huo Swallowing A Bitter Pill

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Mrs. Huo was holding an umbrella and standing gracefully by the roadside. Even though most of the parents who came to pick up the students were dressed in bright clothes and had exquisite makeup, Mrs. Huo was still the most eye-catching one.

In the eyes of others, Mrs. Huo was the representation of wealthy dignified ladies.

When she realized that Huo Tian and the others were just staring at her without saying anything, Mrs. Huo frowned slightly. Even when she was displeased, she remained elegant. “Tiantian, have you forgotten all your manners after you left the Huo Family? You aren’t even greeting your elders when you see them.”

Huo Tian searched through the unimportant memories in her head and finally remembered the identity of the doll-like woman in front of her. “I remember now. So you’re Mrs. Huo. Are you asking me to pay back my debt? But it’s not time for the first payment…”

Mrs. Huo realized that the parents around her seemed to be consciously or unconsciously looking over in her direction. She changed to say, “Tiantian, you’ve misunderstood. I’m also your mother. Why would I force you to return the money? I just want to know how you’ve been doing during this period of time. Sigh, look at how you’re right now. It really makes my heart ache…”

If it weren’t for the fact that she was a woman, Ding Chen really wanted to punch her. He said angrily, “You old woman, you better recognize your own identity and don’t come to try acknowledging others as your daughter!”

Mrs. Huo seemed to be given a shock. She took a step back and looked at Huo Tian in panic. “Tiantian, we’ve been mother and daughter for more than ten years. Now that you’ve returned to your biological mother’s side, you aren’t going to accept me, who is your adoptive mother, anymore? Mommy is so sad…”

As she spoke, she even used a handkerchief to gently wipe the corners of her eyes, as if she wanted to wipe away her tears of sadness. Her actions caused the surrounding parents to sympathize with her.

“Sigh, it’s not easy for Mrs. Huo either. No matter how deep her feelings for her adopted daughter are, the girl still favors her own mother.”

“They say that the favor of having given birth isn’t as great as that of having brought one up. But that only applies to a child with a conscience.”

“A person’s character is inherited. Didn’t they say that the mother of the fake young miss is a prostitute? What good can her daughter be?”

When these unconcealed discussions entered his ears, Ding Chen was so angry that he stomped his feet. He wanted to point at Mrs. Huo’s nose and scold her, but Si Huan held him back.

Ding Chen glared at Si Huan. “Let go of me. Let me teach this lying b*tch a lesson!”

Si Huan shook his head and gestured for him to look at Huo Tian. “Don’t be rash. Huo Tian has a way to deal with this.”

Ding Chen looked over and saw that Huo Tian was still calm despite everyone’s slander. She had the demeanor of a great general.

Huo Tian said to Mrs. Huo seriously, “Mrs. Huo, you’re not my mother, so don’t say such things anymore. You’ll make Huo You unhappy. If Huo You is unhappy, I won’t be able to have a good school life.”

Mrs. Huo’s face changed slightly. “Tiantian, did you have a disagreement with Youyou in school? But Youyou is an obedient and sensible child. She’s not as unsociable and hot-tempered as you. Is there some misunderstanding between you two?”

Huo Tian smiled until her eyes curved into crescents. “Mrs. Huo, you’re so humorous. If I am unsociable and hot-tempered, I would have given you a slap right now. And if your daughter was really obedient, why would she come looking for my trouble time and time again? There were witnesses every time she came looking for trouble. Oh right, I think the student council president even deducted her morality points because of this. Did I remember wrongly, President?”

Huo Tian looked at Si Huan with a smile. Si Huan noticed the slyness in her eyes and thought that Huo Tian was quite cute.

Si Huan nodded at Mrs. Huo and said, “Mrs. Huo, I saw your daughter trying to cause trouble on the first day of school. Although our families have been friends for very long, I had no choice but to deduct her morality points in order to establish the authority of the student union. You’ve always been a reasonable person, so you should understand my difficulties, right?”

The suspicious gazes of the people around her made her angry. Mrs. Huo almost couldn’t maintain her gentle mask anymore. “Why would I blame you? But I didn’t know that you and Tiantian were so close.”

Si Huan said, “It’s probably because Huo Tian wasn’t as outstanding and cheerful as she is now when she was in the Huo Family. That’s why we couldn’t be friends in the past. What a pity.”

Huo Tian patted Si Huan’s shoulder in agreement. “There’s no need to feel regretful. You’ve discovered my genius intrinsic quality and I’ve also seen clearly that you have better qualities compared to other wealthy people. That’s why we didn’t miss each other, isn’t it?”

Mrs. Huo did not expect Huo Tian to become so sharp-tongued, nor did she expect that Si Huan would help Huo Tian and be sarcastic to her. She deeply felt that she had miscalculated today and had not made sufficient preparations before going up against Huo Tian. The loss in verbal confrontation made Mrs. Huo’s expression turn even grimmer.

Ding Chen was thrilled to see this. Not only was his niece good at fighting, but she was also good at being sarcastic!

As her uncle, he couldn’t lose either. “Mrs. Huo, my sister has raised Huo You so well that she’s obedient and sensible. Tiantian has also become more outstanding after returning to my family.. Doesn’t this mean that my family is better at raising children? Of course, I’m not saying that there’s a problem with the Huo Family’s upbringing.”
