Chapter 263: Fair Deal
Under Huo You’s complicated gaze, Mr. Huo paused for a moment. Then, as if they were discussing business, he said stiffly, “If you don’t want to get engaged to He Yu, I can satisfy your wishes. The prerequisite is that you ask for Huo Tian’s forgiveness.”
Huo You had never imagined such a situation. She wanted to vent her anger, but looking at the expressionless Mr. Huo, the anger in her heart was doused with cold water before it had fully formed. She stood there in a daze.
After a while, she smiled sadly and said, “Sometimes, I really think that I’m living in the Middle Ages and don’t even have the freedom to choose my marriage partner. I don’t want to marry a man who’s crazy and has violent tendencies, but to think that I actually need to use other conditions to make a deal with you guys…”
She seemed to find this matter very amusing and actually laughed out loud. Her laughter grew louder and crazier. By the time she stopped, her face was already covered in tears.
However, the three family members in the study who were related to her by blood turned a blind eye to her miserable appearance.
Huo You’s heart turned cold. After recovering her calm breathing, she said coldly, “Sure, I’ll go ask for Huo Tian’s forgiveness, but I won’t ask to end the engagement with He Yu. I want the production company that’s under the Huo Family.”
Mr. Huo took a deep look at Huo You for a moment and said, “Although I knew that you don’t have an innocent nature, I didn’t expect you to have such a big appetite. You can have the production company if you want, as long as you can get Tiantian’s forgiveness and eliminate her hatred for our family.”
Huo You nodded and her lips curled into a cold smile. “Happy cooperation, Mr. Huo.”
With that, Huo You ignored Mr. Huo’s darkened expression, turned around, and walked out of the study. She slammed the heavy door shut.
Mrs. Huo was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Based on Huo Feng’s understanding of his mother, this performance shouldn’t have been faked.
“This is really too much, too much!” At this moment, Mrs. Huo seemed to only know how to say these two lines. She was so angry that her face turned red and she cried at Mr. Huo, “We’re really blind to let such a beast enter the Huo Family. It’s really our misfortune. It’s all the fault of that woman with the surname Ding. I really don’t know how she taught the child!”
Although Mr. Huo had been maintaining his composure, it wasn’t as if he wasn’t angry. At this moment, he couldn’t be bothered with the resentful Mrs. Huo and said impatiently, “That’s enough, don’t push the blame to others. When Huo You was in the Ding Family, she was an outstanding student representative in the school. After Huo Tian returned, she started her career and even used the development of her career to find her biological father. Madam Ding is better at raising children than you.”
Mrs. Huo’s words were stuck in her throat. Her expression alternated between red and white, looking very interesting.
Mr. Huo said unhappily, “In the future, be it in front of or behind others, you have to be more respectful to Madam Ding. If you reveal such an attitude and make Mr. Hill unhappy, you won’t be able to escape the outcome of giving an apology personally either.”
Mrs. Huo’s eyes were still a little red, but she didn’t dare to use her pitiful attitude to seek for Mr. Huo’s pity any further. She quietly wiped her tears and nodded, saying softly, “I understand.”
Huo Feng had been in the study the entire time, watching a good show quietly. He had wanted to find a suitable opportunity to bring up the matter about how the Huo Family had agreed to send an invitation to the Huo Family. He didn’t expect to see Mr. and Mrs. Huo fighting with each other, unwilling to even maintain the superficial kinship between them. He now felt that perhaps the invitation Huo Tian had agreed to could become a bargaining chip and create a greater value at the critical moment.
In front of his parents, Huo Feng had always been very considerate. He pretended not to see his father and mother’s loss of composure and said very considerately, “Dad, Mom, you guys have been too tired from work recently. Have a good rest today.. I’ll go back to my room first.”
