Chapter 92 - Hypocritical Show of Affection

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Huo You felt nauseous when she saw her parents putting on an act.

She felt that it was understandable for her to hate Huo Tian. After all, because the two of them had swapped identities, Huo Tian had substituted her for 18 years of a rich life, while she had lived in poverty for more than ten years. Huo You had never hidden her hatred and hostility towards Huo Tian in front of others.

Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s hypocritical show of affections and sanctimoniousness was disappointing. Back then, when Huo Tian left the Huo Family, apart from the clothes she wore back then, she only brought with her a 20 million yuan IOU. However, Mr. and Mrs. Huo could actually silently admit that they had given Huo Tian a huge amount of wealth in front of the police without batting an eyelid.

At that moment, Huo You suddenly understood why Huo Feng hated the Huo Family’s hypocrisy so much.

As soon as Huo You thought of Huo Feng, a servant came to report that Young Master Huo Feng had returned.

Huo Feng rushed straight into the house. He was still wearing his school uniform and didn’t even have the time to put down his bag. He hurriedly said, “Dad, Mom, I just received news that my sister seems to have gotten into an incident. Do you know what happened?”

Ever since Huo Tian left the Huo Family, Huo Feng didn’t want to return to such an icy family with no family atmosphere at all.

From the start of the semester, he had requested to stay in the school. His school was fully enclosed and under military-style management. He could only get access to his phone during the weekends.

Therefore, Huo Feng only saw the news on the Internet on the weekends. He found out that a kidnapping incident had taken the Internet by storm. Some of his friends told him that the kidnapping incident probably involved Huo Tian.

Mr. Huo did not answer Huo Feng’s question. Instead, he frowned and said unhappily, “Look at yourself now, so impetuous and not dignified at all. How are you behaving like the Huo Family’s successor?”

Huo Feng was extremely anxious. He waved his hand and said irritably, “Dad, with the situation now, don’t be worrying about having a successor or not. Right now, something has probably happened to my sister. Dad, why don’t you care at all?”

Mr. Huo’s expression immediately darkened. His eyes seemed to contain the anger of being contradicted.

Mrs. Huo noticed the change in his mood and immediately tried to ease the tension. “Huo Feng, how can you talk to your father like this? Your father had raised Tiantian for more than ten years, so how could he not care about her safety? Your father is just more rational. He knows that there’s no point in panicking now. Moreover, Tiantian isn’t your sister anymore. Your sister is Youyou. You mustn’t call her wrongly in the future. Other people will laugh at you for that.”

Huo You smiled appropriately and said kindly, “It’s alright. Brother and Huo Tian had been together for more than ten years and they shared a deep relationship. It’s understandable that he can’t change his address in a short time.”

The more generous Huo You was, the more unreasonable Huo Feng seemed. How could Huo Feng not know that Huo You was just putting on an act in front of their parents? However, right now, he was most concerned about Huo Tian’s safety and didn’t have the time to care about Huo You’s petty tricks.

Without looking back, he continued to say to Mrs. Huo, “Mom, tell me in detail what happened to Sister Tiantian. I heard from my friends that there was a casualty in that kidnapping case. Who was the one who was harmed? It couldn’t be Sister Tiantian, right?”

“I really wonder what kind of bewitching potion Tiantian has given you. Why have you been so close to her since you were young?”

Mrs. Huo sighed helplessly and said, “The police have already come to look for me and your father. According to the information we obtained from the police, Huo Tian didn’t encounter any accident in this kidnapping. She’s still fine now, but she seems to have suffered a huge blow. She has been staying at home to deal with the aftermath.”

Huo Feng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Huo Tian was fine. He patted his chest and said, “That gave me a scare. There are all sorts of rumors going around outside now. Someone had confidently told me that Sister Tiantian had been killed by kidnappers. Turned out that those are just rumors…”

Huo Feng’s joy lasted for a long while. Then, he suddenly thought of something and his expression gradually became solemn. “Since nothing happened to Sister Tiantian, who was the one who died in the kidnapping incident? Or did no one die at all and it was just rumors?”

Mrs. Huo let out a long sigh, her expression carrying a trace of pity from a superior stand.

“There had indeed been a casualty in that kidnapping incident. The police told your father and me this personally. The young man who accidentally live-streamed the kidnapping incident was also safe and sound. Therefore, the one who had an accident could only be Tiantian’s current mother. Although it’s not nice to say this, we’re also very lucky that it was her and not Tiantian who had an accident…”

“What did you say? How could it be my mother who died?!”

Before Huo Feng could say anything, Huo You, who had been quietly listening to them, suddenly stood up. Her face was pale as she looked at Mrs. Huo in disbelief and panic.

“You’re lying to me, right? It’s impossible that something had happened to my mother…”
