Chapter 248 - Highly Debated

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The students in the school were relatively simple-minded. They felt that Huo You’s words sounded uncomfortable, but they couldn’t figure out why. After Liu Qian pointed out Huo You’s thoughts, the surrounding students understood that Huo You was targeting Huo Tian with every word.

Although Huo Tian had never been active in the class and had only maintained a normal relationship with everyone, no one hated her at all. After all, geniuses had to be a little aloof to show that they had character.

As for Huo You, back when they were in the same class, the students could feel the difference in treatment Huo You had for her classmates. Although she had always been polite, other than Xu Mei and Liu Qian, Huo You didn’t care to hang out with other students. How could everyone really like such a person?

They looked at Huo You meaningfully. Some students couldn’t help but whisper, “I heard that Huo Tian has returned her living expenses to the Huo Family. Why does Huo You still say that Huo Tian stole her things? That’s 20 million yuan…”

“Maybe the Huo Family feels that 20 million yuan isn’t enough? But they didn’t record Huo Tian’s childhood expenses in the account book. I think this number is already an astronomical price.”

“The Huo Family always acts like they are an influential family, but they’re even fussing over the living expenses of their adopted daughter. It’s not Huo Tian’s fault that the wrong child was brought back then, so why should she bear the consequences…”

“What’s even funnier is that Huo You always acts like a victim. That is really disgusting.”

…

The group of young high school students was not good at hiding their emotions. As they spoke, they forgot to lower their voices.

Huo You’s face darkened as she listened to their discussion.

Ever since she was reborn, Huo You knew that the Huo Family would be her greatest trump card. Therefore, even though the couple from the Huo Family and her biological brother, Huo Feng, disappointed her, Huo You had never shown her unhappiness in the Huo Family in front of outsiders.

If the Huo Family’s reputation was tainted, Huo You’s image would no longer be perfect.

Huo You clenched her fists secretly and barely managed to maintain her composure. She said to Liu Qian, who had made things difficult for her earlier, “Liu Qian, I really treat you as a friend, but I didn’t expect you to use such dark thoughts to guess my intentions. As a friend, I don’t want you to be snatched away by others. Is that wrong? Why can’t I have just this bit of selfish thoughts?”

Liu Qian frowned slightly in the face of Huo You’s accusation. Although she was more mature than ordinary students because of her family background, she was still very young and didn’t have much experience dealing with b*tches like Huo You. Therefore, she felt choked up for a moment.

Seeing that Liu Qian was speechless, Huo You felt a little smug. (Since you want to fall out with me, I won’t have to save you any face in the future.) However, Huo You didn’t push her luck in view of Liu Qian’s family background.

Hence, Huo You cast Liu Qian aside and turned to look at Huo Tian, who was sitting there idly flipping through a book as if she didn’t care about everything around her.

Huo You couldn’t suppress the raging anger in her heart at all when she saw Huo Tian’s relaxed expression.

This detestable person had clearly left the Huo Family. Why was she always going against her in everything?

Huo You stopped hiding her malice. She sneered and said to Huo Tian, “Huo Tian, you said that your family is going to hold a 19th birthday banquet for you? This is really surprising. I know your family’s financial situation very well.. Mom is still running a tailor shop in the slums, right? Her monthly income can barely maintain your standard of living in the slums.”
