Chapter 339: Jealousy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Huo Tian was indeed very angry when she heard that Ding Rong wanted to acknowledge Huo You. Actually, if she had just given it a little thought, she would know that this was impossible.

Before Xi Cheng appeared, Ding Rong was only a single mother. It was normal for her to be unwilling to part with her adopted daughter, who had been with her for 18 years. If the elders of both families were generous and kind, letting the two children who had brought the wrong child acknowledge each

other as their godparents would be a wonderful story.

However, when the two families switched back their children, things had gotten too ugly. Ding Rong wasn’t a senseless person. Even if she still couldn’t bear to part with Huo You, considering Huo Tian’s mood and the Huo Family’s style, she still cut off all contact with Huo You in terms of her feelings and

actions.

Now, Ding Rong was no longer as she was in the past, not being involved in any benefits at all. As the wife of the Hill Family’s head, if she were to show a little kindness to someone, the person would be able to obtain endless benefits.

Reacknowledging the adopted daughter whom she had cut off ties with in the past was not something that Ding Rong could decide on a whim. Even if she was a senseless woman, Xi Cheng would not let her mess around.

If Huo Tian had given it just a little thought, she’d known that this was impossible. However, rationality and emotions were two different things. No matter how rational Huo Tian was, she could not control the grievance and anger in her heart.

Huo Tian didn’t hate Huo You so much that she wished that she didn’t exist, but she didn’t want Ding Rong to have anything to do with Huo You anymore.

Ding Rong’s heart softened when she saw Huo Tian’s aggrieved expression. She pulled Huo Tian’s hand and sat down on the sofa. Xi Cheng immediately stood up from the single-seater and went up to his wife and daughter, wanting to be close to them.

However, Ding Rong only had eyes for her precious daughter now. She only felt that Xi Cheng, who had taken the initiative to come over, was a hindrance and slapped his arm impatiently. “‘m talking to Tiantian. Can you not come and make trouble?”

Xi Cheng’s eyes were shocked as he looked at his wife in disbelief. She was still in his arms just now, letting him kiss her softly. Why did she despise him so much in the blink of an eye?

He muttered softly, “You only have eyes for your daughter that you’re even starting to despise me now.”

Ding Rong did not hear Xi Cheng’s complaints clearly, but Huo Tian, who had sharp ears and eyes, did. Ding Rong’s attitude made Huo Tian feel that her place in her heart was more important than Xi Cheng. Even if Ding Rong had yet to explain the matter with Huo You, Huo Tian felt very comfortable.

She tilted her body and poked her head out from Ding Rong’s side to look at Xi Cheng, her eyes sly and proud. “Dad, are you jealous? Do you think Mom treats me better than you?”

Xi Cheng denied it firmly, refusing to admit to this. “What nonsense are you talking about? How can I be jealous of you?”

Xi Cheng met his daughter’s teasing gaze and a desire to win rose in his heart. “Moreover, your mother isn’t a biased person. It’s impossible for her to see you as being more important than me!”

Huo Tian’s feelings were at a sensitive stage, so she was a little unconvinced when she heard Xi Cheng’s words. She snorted childishly and hugged Ding Rong’s arm. “Mom, hurry up and let Dad see the truth!”

Xi Cheng hugged Ding Rong’s waist from the other side and deliberately pretended to be pitiful. “Honey, Tiantian is already 19 years old. You should let her learn how to be independent. I’m the one who’s going to accompany you for the rest of your life. Hurry up and explain things to her!”

‘The father and daughter’s gazes met as if there were sparks and lightning.

Ding Rong was sandwiched between the father and daughter, looking very helpless.

She slapped the arm on her waist hard and glared at Xi Cheng. “How old are you already? Why are you still so childish to tease your daughter?”

Before Huo Tian could raise her chin proudly, Ding Rong turned to face her and stroked her hair. “You too. You know that your father dotes on you the most, but you still deliberately rebutted him.”

Huo Tian pursed her lips and did not say anything. She had been suppressing her anger since just now, and it exploded like a gunpowder keg, When she spoke to Ding Rong and Xi Cheng, she could not help but be a little aggressive. She knew that this was her problem, It was because she knew that her

parents doted on her that she would willfully vent her negative emotions on them.

Huo Tian, who was good at assessing herself, was unwilling to honestly admit her mistake for the first time. Hence, she bent down and buried her head into Ding Rong’s shoulder. She hugged Ding Rong and swayed, making mumbling sounds. Ding Rong didn’t know if she was trying to say something or

was just acting spoiled.
