Chapter 362 - Drowning Person

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

After Mr. Huo finished saying his thoughts, he paused for a moment. According to his experience with working together with his wife, it was now Mrs. Huo’s turn to agree with his opinion. However, after Mr. Huo finished speaking, he did not receive a response from Mrs. Huo for a long time.

He looked at Mrs. Huo, who was sitting one seat away from him, but he realized that her eyelids were drooping and she was sitting on the sofa numbly. Her face with the fingerprints on it was facing him. Mr. Huo frowned slightly. He did not know if Mrs. Huo did not understand what he meant or if she

was angry because of the slap in the car.

In the end, Mr. Huo still felt guilty, so he couldn’t criticize Mrs. Huo for not cooperating with him. He coughed awkwardly a few times and continued, “Many young talents from the Hill Family attended today’s banquet, including some who are closer to the Hill Family’s head by blood. If Huo You can be

connected to the Hill Family by marriage, it will deepen the connection between our Huo Family and the Hill Family…”

Without waiting for Mr. Huo to finish his words, Huo Feng completely understood what he meant. Mr. Huo had probably also realized that the Hill Family’s head disliked him. Mr. Huo was not sure if the Huo Family would suffer from the Hill Family’s revenge, so he decided to make plans earlier. If the Hill

Family’s head really wanted to make a move on the Huo Family, he had to consider the opinions of the other members of the family. Letting Huo You marry a descendant of the Hill Family’s side branch was also an additional layer of protection for the Huo Family.

Huo Feng had always looked down on his father after he became sensible, but now, he could not help but feel some admiration for him. This spirit of not resigning to fate until the last moment was indeed admirable.

However, in Huo Feng’s opinion, the current Mr. Huo was like falling into a rapid flood, in a situation where death was certain. Everyone on the shore could see his fate clearly, but he was unwilling to accept reality. He struggled with all his might, wanting to grab onto anything that drifted by him, even if

it was an extremely fragile branch that couldn’t bring him back to the shore.

‘When Mr. Huo looked over with a gaze to seek affirmation, Huo Feng didn’t directly refute his suggestion. Instead, he said in a tone that had neither agreement or disagreement, “Having a political marriage with the Hill Family is indeed a rare opportunity that is hard to come by, but Dad, are you

confident that you can convince Huo You?”

Mr. Huo recalled Huo You’s rebellious and unruly behavior in the study previously and didn’t feel confident at all. However, he now treated Huo You’s marriage as a piece of driftwood, only wanting to grasp it firmly. How could he admit that he was helpless when facing Huo You?

His face darkened and he tried his best to appear dignified. “Let’s talk things out with Huo You. She’ll understand what choice is best for her.”

Huo Feng expressed his disapproval tactfully. “But I don’t think Huo You will obediently listen to Dad and Mom’s arrangements. Now that she has Mrs. Hill as her backing, she has the confidence to reject the path the Huo Family paves for her. Dad and Mom, what do you guys think?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

What could they think? Previously, when Huo You was alone and helpless, she even dared to raise a hand against Mrs. Huo. Her rebellious and unfilial behavior could be said to be crazy. Now that she was related to Mrs. Hill, how could she still care about her biological parents?

However, if they were to honestly admit that they had no control over their biological daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Huo would definitely not be able to put up with this.

Mrs. Huo didn’t want to pay attention to Mr. Huo, but at the mention of Huo You, anger welled up in her heart and she couldn’t help but want to give her opinion. Mrs. Huo’s eyes turned cold and she said in a vicious tone, “If she’s unwilling to listen to our arrangements, then let her return everything she

got from the Huo Family! She’s my biological daughter. Every drop of blood and every piece of flesh on her body, which of those aren’t what I gave her?”

The Huo Family’s villa was brightly lit. Even at night, it didn’t seem dark or scary. However, at that moment, when Mr. Huo looked at Mrs. Huo, his heart couldn’t help but shudder. It was as if he could see the dark murkiness spreading from her. He even felt that at that moment, Mrs. Huo really wanted

Huo You to die and use death to repay the flesh and blood given to her.

Huo Feng also sensed Mrs. Huo’s deep hatred for Huo You, but he wasn’t surprised.

He didn’t seem to notice the ruthlessness on his mother’s face and Mr. Huo’s stiff expression. He said nonchalantly, “Since Mom and Dad have already made a decision, let’s wait until Huo You comes back to discuss it with her. I think she’ll make the best choice..”
