Chapter 281 - Utterly Isolated

Huo Tian sighed as she watched Huo You leave in a hurry. Sometimes, she really didn’t understand Huo You’s thoughts.

They were clearly both victims in this accident of having the wrong child brought back. Actually, at the start, if the other party had been more friendly, they might have been able to become friends…

Unfortunately, from the moment Huo You stubbornly felt that the original Huo Tian had snatched something that belonged to her, they couldn’t get along amicably anymore.

Huo You left the Ding Family’s small courtyard in a hurry. After walking across a street, she angrily took out her phone from her bag and called Huo Feng.

The phone rang for a long time before the other party picked up.

Huo You heard Huo Feng’s blurry voice on the phone and knew that it meant that he hadn’t woken up yet.

Huo You’s anger peaked!

“Huo Feng!” Huo You gritted her teeth and shouted his name. “Is it fun to see me make a fool of myself?!”

Huo Feng was indeed woken up by Huo You’s call. Last night, after he returned to his room, he chatted with his business partner who was overseas until the latter half of the night before falling asleep. He had wanted to sleep as much as he wanted today, but unexpectedly, he was woken up by Huo You’s call in the middle of the morning.

Huo Feng said in a blurry voice, “Oh, it’s Huo You. What do you want?”

Huo Feng’s nonchalant attitude made Huo You even angrier. She gritted her teeth and said, “Huo Feng! I’m talking to you seriously!”

“Alright, alright…” Huo Feng opened his eyes helplessly and sat up on the bed. He rubbed his face to wake himself up a little, then said in a slightly more serious tone,” Dear sister, what do you want to talk to me about?”

“You’ve already contacted Huo Tian yesterday. She promised to give the Huo Family an invitation, right?” Huo You took a deep breath and suppressed her anger a little. “Since you’ve already received Huo Tian’s promise, why did you look like you were just an onlooker in the study and watching as I was put in a spot by them?!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Oh, so that’s what Sister was talking about…” Huo Feng seemed to have just realized why Huo You was angry. He suddenly realized something and said,” Sister, you should have told me the reason why you were angry earlier. It made me guess for a long time in vain…”

Huo You couldn’t believe that he still had the cheek to complain. She couldn’t help but raise her voice. “Huo Feng, be serious!”

“Alright, alright, I’m really serious this time.” Huo Feng leaned against the headboard and said unhurriedly, “Because if I don’t let Dad and Mom force you, you might still have some expectations for them. I’m not willing to find a business partner who might be two-timing…”

Huo You stared at her phone in disbelief. It took her a long while before she regained her ability to speak. “So you’re saying that in order to let me work with you wholeheartedly, you’ve put me in a situation where I’m completely isolated by everyone?”

“Sister, don’t think of me as such a bad person. You still have me, your caring brother and your most reliable business partner.”

Huo Feng didn’t hide his bad thoughts at all and said casually, “After all, compared to my parents, who have long held great power in the company, I’m still a child who hasn’t attended high school. Moreover, in terms of kinship, you naturally trust them, right? I don’t want you to suddenly betray me and switch to side with those two at a critical moment of our cooperation.”

Huo Feng’s tone seemed as if he was just talking about the weather today, but the content of his words was so cold and cruel, blatantly scheming against the parents who had given birth to him and raised him.
