Chapter 100 - Bringing Back Their Adopted Daughter

The Si Family’s anniversary celebration was a very important event. Mr. and Mrs. Huo planned to reunite with Huo Tian before the anniversary celebration started.

It would be best if they could immediately settle the marriage agreement between Huo Tian and Si Huan after they reunited. That way, Mr. and Mrs. Huo would be able to attend the Si Family’s anniversary celebration in the capacity of Si Huan’s future in-laws.

With this identity, they could easily obtain the trust of any family during the celebration and could obtain more benefits.

Therefore, Mr. and Mrs. Huo eagerly went to the urban village.They endured their discomfort and passed through the streets that were like slums and found the Ding Family’s small house.

In their eyes, this courtyard was dilapidated and small. They could not imagine how Huo Tian, who had been pampered for more than ten years, could tolerate such a life.

Ding Chen was the one who received them. They were in the midst of the company’s busiest period and he had been staying in the company for several days.

At this moment, Ding Chen’s face was pale, and his dark circles were very obvious. He had not shaved off his stubble either and looked very dispirited, as if he had been through a huge change.

Mr. and Mrs. Huo only thought that Ding Chen was dispirited because he could not withstand the huge blow of his sister passing away. They did not have any thoughts about it, but they put on a pitiful expression and said, “We’ve heard about what happened to your family. Our condolences.”

Ding Chen was very tired and felt like yawning, but it was not polite to do so in front of the guests. He turned his back on them and yawned loudly. A few drops of tears seeped out of the corners of his eyes due to this. As his brain was still not cleared up, he did not realize that there was anything wrong with Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s words, and he did not recognize who these two people were.

Ding Chen only relied on his instincts to maintain politeness on the surface and said, “Thank you for your concern. May I ask why you came to my house…”

Mr. and Mrs. Huo saw the tears in the corners of Ding Chen’s eyes and this further affirmed their understanding of the situation. Although they did not get any concrete news from the police, they had already determined that the person who had died in the kidnapping accident was definitely Huo Tian’s biological mother, Ding Rong.

Mrs. Huo said sincerely, “Back then, after I found out that our two families had brought back the wrong child, I had been feeling very conflicted. I had wanted to leave Tiantian with our family, but since we wanted Youyou back, we can’t take advantage of our position to bully others and keep both our daughters with us…”

Mrs. Huo wiped the corners of her eyes and sighed. “Even though we were very unwilling and couldn’t bear to do so, given the circumstances back then, we could only send Tiantian back to your family. However, I didn’t expect this to happen…”

She did not continue speaking, as if she could not bear to talk about Ding Chen’s sadness. She only looked at Ding Chen pitifully.

Ding Chen was puzzled by her gaze. The long string of words that Mrs. Huo had said just now went through his mind and he only understood what it meant after a long while.

Ding Chen finally recognized the two people in front of him. “I was wondering why you two looked so familiar. So you’re that ungrateful Huo You’s biological parents?”

Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s expressions froze. They had a conversation for such a long time, but the other party did not recognize them. This was definitely a novel experience for Mr. and Mrs. Huo, and their expressions were not good.

However, in order to successfully bring Huo Tian back, the two of them suppressed the anger in their hearts and barely managed to maintain their composure.

Mr. Huo was not satisfied that Mrs. Huo had been beating around the bush and couldn’t get to the point. He said directly, “We came here to discuss with you about letting Huo Tian return to the Huo Family.”

“Hold on!” No matter how tired and tired Ding Chen was, he instantly reacted when he heard this. He glared at Mr. and Mrs. Huo with a livid expression. “What do you mean? You want to snatch Tiantian away from our family?”

“How can you say that we snatched her from your family?” Mrs. Huo frowned and said angrily, “Tiantian was the child we had painstakingly raised for 18 years. Now that something has happened to your family and you don’t have the ability to raise Tiantian anymore, we are bringing her back partly to give Tiantian a better living environment and education, but also to reduce the burden on your family.”

Mrs. Huo swept her gaze across the Ding Family’s courtyard and could not help but reveal a disdainful expression. She thought that her actions and expression were subtle enough, but she did not expect Ding Chen to see it.

Ding Chen snorted. “It seems that you look down on our family very much. Why? Do you think our family is too poor and despise us? Since you despise us, then so be it. Your Huo You grew up in this rundown courtyard of our family. Why don’t you chase her away?”

Seeing that Ding Chen was angry, Mrs. Huo quickly said, “Mr. Ding, you’ve misunderstood. I don’t have any intention of despising you at all.”
