Chapter 47 - Abiding To the Law

“I want to design a device that, when worn, can automatically generate high-intensity electric currents when the wearer is subject to malicious attacks…”

Huo Tian felt that her idea was very cool. She didn’t want to change her mind.

However, Bi Ying’s rejection was also very firm. “With the current technology, there’s no way to determine if the wearer had suffered a malicious attack or not. Moreover, the high-intensity current you want might cause life-threatening danger. It’s better to just make an alarm device.”

Huo Tian pouted a little unhappily. She then realized that Bi Ying was objecting to her coming up with a product that was taking it a little too far. Was this really the initiator of artificial intelligence who had an antisocial personality?

“Are you stopping me from breaking the law?” Huo Tian looked at Bi Ying in surprise.

Bi Ying rolled his eyes, feeling a little speechless. “If I don’t stop you, am I supposed to go crazy with you?”

In Bi Ying’s heart, Huo Tian was someone who was a little childish. He thought that him stopping her might cause her to be unhappy, but he did not expect her to break into a bright smile.

Caught off guard, Bi Ying received a tight hug from Huo Tian.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Bi Ying pushed Huo Tian away in confusion.

Huo Tian looked at Bi Ying with a relieved and excited expression. “That’s great. I’ve finally reformed you into a law-abiding child!”

“What are you talking about? I’ve always been a law-abiding person, okay?” Bi Ying didn’t understand Huo Tian’s thoughts and looked at her helplessly. “Don’t be crazy. I’ll help you get that alarm device out tonight.”

Huo Tian looked at Bi Ying, who claimed to be a law-abiding person, and held back her smile. The others, including Bi Ying himself, did not know that one day, he would release the evil in his heart and trigger the end of the world. However, Bi Ying was now using laws and morality to restrict himself and his friends. This was such a wonderful thing.

Huo Tian was in a good mood and nodded with a smile. “Okay, no problem!”

When they returned home, Ding Rong was grinning from ear to ear when she found out that Huo Tian and Bi Ying had both gotten first place. She made a sumptuous feast that night to reward the two children who had gotten good results.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

For Huo Tian and Bi Ying, it was not difficult for them to come in first place in the cohort. However, under the continuous compliments from Ding Chen and Ding Rong, the two of them could not help but feel a little smug.

Compared to the harmony in the Ding Family, the Huo Family’s atmosphere was exceptionally depressing.

Mr. Huo wore a grim expression. He recalled how he had lowered his stand to specially look for Huo Tian today. He had thought that since he had brought her up, he didn’t want to make the situation so awkward. He didn’t expect Huo Tian, this ingrate, to not give him any face.

At the thought of this, Mr. Huo slammed the table.

Both Mrs. Huo and Huo You were shocked by him. Huo You’s body trembled uncontrollably.

Glancing from the corners of his eyes how cowardly his biological daughter was, Mr. Huo felt even angrier.

“Why are you trembling? You’re so petty. You don’t have the demeanor of a young lady from a wealthy family at all.” Mr. Huo looked at Huo You angrily. “I chased Huo Tian away for your sake back then and this how you repay me?”

Huo You lowered her head and bit her lip, trying to suppress the sadness and unwillingness in her heart.

Mrs. Huo glanced at Huo You from the corners of her eyes and thought to herself that this girl who had been raised by outsiders was really unpresentable!

The atmosphere remained stiff for a while before Mrs. Huo slowly picked up her cup and took a sip of coffee. “Hubby, calm down. Didn’t you go look for Huo Tian today? What did she say?”

At Mrs. Huo’s reminder, Mr. Huo recalled the humiliation he suffered when he went to look for Huo Tian today and his face darkened even more.

“Don’t talk to me about that ingrate! She ate the Huo Family’s food for more than ten years and doesn’t know how to be grateful at all! She’s simply detestable!”

Mrs. Huo frowned slightly. “Huo Tian doesn’t want to agree to our conditions? It’s just for her to withdraw from Qingli High School. She can go to another school. It won’t affect her life and future at all…”

Mr. Huo let out a cold snort. “That ingrate has grown up. She bluntly rejected the condition of invalidating the debt and refuses to withdraw from the school no matter what.”

“How is that possible? Huo Tian should be very short on money now.” Mrs. Huo frowned. “The Ding Family lives in a slum-like place, so where would they get their money from?”

Huo You suddenly thought of something. She beat around the bush and reminded her parents, “Huo Tian is very close to Si Huan in school. Maybe they’re already together. 20 million yuan is an astronomical figure for Huo Tian, but it shouldn’t be worth mentioning to Si Huan.”

“Huo Tian and Si Huan are together?” Mr. Huo didn’t believe it. “That’s impossible. When Huo Tian was still in the Huo Family, Si Huan didn’t agree to the political marriage between the two families. Now that Huo Tian has been chased out, how can Si Huan be with her?”

Mrs. Huo shook her head, not thinking much about it. “Huo Tian’s face is not bad. Maybe Si Huan wants to play with her, but they will definitely not be officially together.”
