Chapter 105: Resolution

Huo Tian felt that she was in a cooperative relationship with Si Huan and that she could generate greater value for Si Huan in the future. Therefore, she wanted to borrow 20 million yuan from Si Huan first and then after their company profited, Si Huan could slowly deduct this money from her share of the profits.

However, when Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, and Ding Chen heard her say that, they felt that Huo Tian’s attitude towards Si Huan was like she was taking things for granted.

Mr. and Mrs. Huo thought to themselves that Huo Tian and Si Huan were indeed a couple now, and it was very likely that the two of them were in the lovey-dovey phase. That was why Huo Tian could say so boldly and confidently that Si Huan would help her shoulder the 20 million debt.

Although Ding Chen knew that the relationship between Huo Tian and Si Huan wasn’t love, his niece really didn’t treat Si Huan as an outsider. If this continued, he was worried that Huo Tian would sooner or later give herself away to him.

On Si Huan’s account, Mr. and Mrs. Huo wanted to continue persuading Huo Tian to return to the Huo Family, but they couldn’t bring themselves to lower their attitude and coax her.

Mrs. Huo’s expression was very awkward. She snorted and said, “I thought people from the Ding Family have a strong resolution? Why do you still need to seek help from the Si Family?”

Huo Tian said matter-of-factly, “Among the people I know, Si Huan is the richest. Moreover, Si Huan is a very nice person and he’s even willing to lend me 500 million yuan, let alone 20 million yuan!”

As she spoke, she took out her phone and wanted to call Si Huan on the spot.

Ding Chen quickly held Huo Tian’s hand and stopped her from calling. He frowned and said bitterly, “Wait a minute. Let me call your mother and ask her what she thinks about this. This is such a big matter. If you take matters into your own hands, your mother will be angry.”

Mr. and Mrs. Huo looked at each other and saw confusion in each other’s eyes.

Mrs. Huo couldn’t help but ask, “From what we know, Mrs. Ding had died in that kidnapping case, wasn’t that right?”

Huo Tian and Ding Chen were both stunned by her words. The next moment, Ding Chen’s expression changed to that of anger. He glared at Mr. and Mrs. Huo. “What nonsense are you talking about? My sister is fine. You’re the ones who have been killed!”

Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s expressions looked grim from the scolding. Mr. Huo said in a low voice, “We aren’t deliberately cursing Mrs. Ding. We only found out that there was a kidnapping case when we were being investigated by the police. The police said that there was a death, so we mistakenly thought that Mrs. Ding had been harmed.”

Mrs. Huo smiled awkwardly and said, “Yeah, we accidentally got the wrong information. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have come to look for Huo Tian in such a hurry. We only wanted to bring Huo Tian back to the Huo Family out of good intentions.”

Ding Chen snorted angrily and said unhappily, “Forget, our Ding Family doesn’t have the capacity of accepting your kindness.”

Mr. and Mrs. Huo did not hear concrete news and mistakenly thought that Ding Rong had lost her life in the kidnapping case. However, the Ding Family found out about it. This was extremely embarrassing for Mr. and Mrs. Huo.

Mr. Huo could only barely maintain his composure, but there was still some anger in his tone. “Since we were the ones who received the wrong information and caused this blunder, let’s pretend that we didn’t mention anything about bringing Huo Tian back to the Huo Family.”

He gave Mrs. Huo a look, who immediately understood him and put on a standard smile as if it had been measured by a ruler. “This can only mean that Huo Tian isn’t destined to be with our family. In that case, the 20 million yuan debt must be treated officially. It’s almost time to repay the debt. I think since you guys have such a strong resolution, you don’t have to ask us to postpone the repayment date, right?”

Although Mrs. Huo was smiling, anyone could tell that her words were full of sarcasm.

Ding Chen snorted. “Isn’t it just 20 million yuan? Do you think we can’t pay it back?”

However, Mrs. Huo’s tone was even more sarcastic. “We heard it just now. Your entire family only has about 100,000 yuan in savings now. This is completely inadequate for the 20 million yuan debt, right? It seems like you really have to ask the Si Family for help if you want to return this money. You don’t want Huo Tian to return to the Huo Family, but you seem very willing to sell her to the Si Family? Is that the case?”

“Crazy. In the eyes of rich people like you, anything can be bought and sold, right? Huo Tian is a living person, not an object. In your hearts, 20 million yuan can buy the first 18 years of a child’s life. But in our eyes, as long as we can keep Tiantian by our side, let alone 20 million, we will even find a way to get 200 million yuan.”

After saying that, Ding Chen ignored the livid Mr. and Mrs. Huo and walked to the side to call Ding Rong.

Mrs. Huo stared at Ding Chen’s back view for a long time. In the end, she could only say angrily, “He’s really unreasonable. What right does he have to say that about us?”

Huo Tian looked very relaxed and happy. She giggled and said, “I think Uncle is right. Back then, didn’t you guys buy off the 18 years of feelings I have with the two of you with a 20 million yuan debt?”
