Chapter 3: Leaving the Huo Family’s Home
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Youyou is still so sensible. She really has the demeanor of one form an influential family.”
The guests next to them seemed to have noticed that the atmosphere between them wasn’t right. They stepped forward and interrupted, “Tiantian, although you and Youyou aren’t related by blood, you can be considered sisters given the amazing affinity you share. You mustn’t throw a tantrum today.
This lady had interacted with Huo Tian before and knew that Huo Tian was a troublemaker who would cause a ruckus once things didn’t go her way. Hence, she tried to step in to help Huo You control the situation.
“Sisters?” Huo Tian looked at the woman who tried to smooth things over and remembered who she was.
“Auntie Song, do you think Huo You will treat me like a sister?”
Huo You smiled docilely at Auntie Song, but her words were cold. “I’m the only daughter of the Huo Family, and Huo Tian, I think you’ve gotten too many things that don’t belong to you in the past decade. So, even if you shamelessly stay in the Huo Family, I won’t acknowledge you as my sister!”
Auntie Song’s expression turned a little bad. She wasn’t really concerned about how the Huo Family was going to deal with the fake daughter. She just didn’t want Huo Tian to make the situation too ugly. Now, Huo You’s words made her seem like a bad person!
At this moment, Mrs. Huo, who had been receiving guests, finally arrived.
Mrs. Huo nodded at Auntie Song and stood next to Huo You, holding her shoulders. Although they had just reunited, they looked extremely close.
“Huo Tian, I think we’ve already made things clear to you yesterday. No matter how much ruckus you cause, you’re not our biological daughter.”
Huo Tian shrugged. “You don’t have to emphasize my identity over and over again. I know you want me to leave the Huo Family as soon as possible. I don’t plan to shamelessly stay in a family that doesn’t belong to me either.”
Mother Huo frowned. “If that’s the case, why aren’t you leaving?”
“Please, I’ve called you Mom for more than ten years. Can’t you at least let me fill my stomach before leaving?”
Huo Tian said, “Oh right, there’s also the matter of removing my name from the household register. If you don’t want to trouble yourselves, give me the documents and I’ll go take care of it myself later on.”
Upon hearing this, the surrounding guests looked at Mrs. Huo differently.
A straightforward guest couldn’t help but say, “Huo Tian is quite pitiful too. She was just informed of her true identity yesterday and is being chased away before she can prepare anything. This must be such a big blow to her.”
Huo You smiled coldly. “Huo Tian has taken over my identity and had stolen everything that belongs to me over the past more than ten years. I don’t know what she needs to prepare!”
Huo Tian was finally willing to put down the plate of pastries. She looked at Huo You and said, “It seems like you really hate me. We were only infants when we were mistakenly passed to the wrong parents. You can blame the staff for what happened, but there’s no need for you to take out your anger on me, right?”
“Do you think I’m taking my anger out on you?” Huo You sneered. “No, I don’t believe that the staff of a private hospital would make such a serious blunder. Unless someone had colluded with them.”
The guests let out surprised gasps. “Could it be that they were intentionally swapped back then? That is too evil.”
Huo Tian looked at Huo You’s resentful expression and knew that Huo You really thought that she had been intentionally swapped. It seemed like she would have to be careful when dealing with this real young miss from now on.
“If you think someone has deliberately swapped our lives, you can call the police or find concrete evidence.”
Huo Tian said coldly, “And not treating me like a criminal just based on your guess.”
Mrs. Huo’s expression was already filled with coldness and annoyance. She gestured for Huo You to stop talking and stepped forward to say, “Huo Tian, no matter how you were swapped back then, I think the Huo Family has already done our best by giving you a luxurious life for more than ten years. We don’t expect you to repay the Huo Family’s kindness. We only hope that you can leave quietly and not disturb our lives again.”
Her words instantly changed the guests’ opinions. At first, the guests thought that the Huo Family was too cold towards Huo Tian, but after hearing what Mrs. Huo said, they felt that her words made sense. Huo Tian shouldn’t be causing trouble at such an important event.
Huo Tian realized that Mrs. Huo’s means were much higher than Huo You’s. She only needed to use the word ‘kindness’ to clear their names of all their unreasonable actions.
She was too lazy to argue with the Huo Family, so she simply said, “Thank you for raising me. Since you care so much about this favor, send me the bill. I’ll pay you back all the expenses that you’ve spent on me in the future.”
Mrs. Huo only felt that Huo Tian didn’t know what was good for her. She couldn’t be bothered to keep up with the superficial politeness anymore. “Then please come with me to sign the declaration of severing ties and debt repayment. I hope this isn’t just talk.”
Since she said it out loud, Huo Tian was planning on keeping her promise. No matter how extravagant the original Huo Tian was, the current her was going to be a future big shot in space-time technology. How could it be possible for her to be unable to pay back for all expenses she had spent in the Huo Family over the years?
Huo Tian and Mrs.. Huo left the banquet hall for the time being, but the discussion about them lingered on among the guests.
