Chapter 294: Before the Banquet Begins

Huo Feng was not surprised to hear the word “rebellious” from Mrs. Huo’s mouth.

When Huo Tian was still in the Huo Family, when Mr. and Mrs. Huo mentioned her in front of anyone, they would always say in a tone as if they expected better from her, that Huo Tian had entered a rebellious phase.

Sometimes, Mrs. Huo would even shed a few tears as she talked, expressing her difficulties as a mother.

Huo Tian gradually became the model of bad children in the high society of S City. When Mr. and Mrs. Huo abandoned the rebellious Huo Tian without hesitation, no one criticized them for being cold-blooded and heartless.

Now, this word was placed on Huo You by Mrs. Huo, so Huo Feng knew that Mr. and Mrs. Huo were planning to give up on Huo You completely. Facing Mrs. Huo’s tight gaze, Huo Feng smiled and said, “Mom, you have to have confidence in me. I don’t want to fall to the point where you guys will give up on me.”

Upon hearing Huo Feng’s reply, Mrs. Huo smiled in satisfaction.

What Mrs. Huo didn’t know was that there was another more important thing hidden in Huo Feng’s heart that he didn’t say. He didn’t intend to end up like Huo You, who had been abandoned by his parents. Instead, he planned to give up on his parents first.

If Huo Tian were still in the Huo Family, Huo Feng might have tolerated them for a few more years. However, Mr. and Mrs. Huo chased away Huo Feng’s only bond, so Huo Feng no longer restrained the beast in his heart.

Huo Feng looked at the invitation letter that Mrs. Huo had taken good care of and thought to himself, (Sister, I’ll be able to control the entire Huo Family very soon. You’ll be happy for me, right?)

The day of the banquet soon arrived. As many guests from both China and abroad had been invited, ordinary banquet venues were not enough. Therefore, Xi Cheng had someone open a manor the Hill Family had in China.

Unlike the Si Family’s anniversary celebration previously, although the scale of this banquet was larger, it was kept at a low profile in comparison.

The Hill Family had a professional news spokesperson, so they had rejected the media who had been alerted of the news. To this day, those media companies that specialized in watching the world’s top tycoons only knew that the Hill Family had recently made a big move.

No one could explain in detail what had happened.

The outside world guessed that the Hill Family was preparing to go all out to expand the Chinese market. Otherwise, why would the head of the Hill Family, who had always been a secretive person, leave his base camp overseas and choose to hold a grand banquet in China?

Of course, there were also people who guessed that after being single for more than 40 years, the head of the Hill Family suddenly found his true love.

However, as soon as this guess was raised, it was refuted. What kind of person was the head of the Hill Family? Ever since he became the family head, many young ladies from wealthy families had expressed their fondness for him. Even though he was physically disabled and could only rely on a wheelchair for his usual activities, there were still many crazy people throwing themselves at him.

However, that family head had always had a straightforward attitude towards women who took the initiative to befriend him. He wasn’t tempted at all.

Over the years, almost everyone had guessed that the Hill Family’s head had a cold personality.

Therefore, although this banquet was very unusual, no one dared to guess the most likely direction.

It was precisely because they could not figure out what the Hill Family’s head was thinking that the guests from abroad were all wary. After all, they still remembered the bloody family banquet from more than ten years ago. It was that banquet that was filled with treacherous rumors within the Hill Family that allowed Xi Cheng to establish his authority.

The guests from the foreign families couldn’t help but worry that the Hill family’s head was going to replicate that bloody family banquet to achieve his unknown goals.
