Chapter 50: I Don’t Have A Younger Brother
Unable to get into contact with Huo Tian, Huo Feng called Mr. and Mrs. Huo to find out what had happened.
“Mom, what’s going on? I heard from my friends that Sister was mistakenly brought back and that she’s not from our Huo Family. She was even chased away by you and Dad. Do you know where Sister is now? Is she doing well…”
At the thought of Huo Tian having nowhere to stay, Huo Feng became extremely anxious. After calling Mrs. Huo, he asked her questions one after another.
Mrs. Huo felt a headache while listening to him chattering away. She interrupted, “Huo Tian is no longer your elder sister.”
“But we’ve been siblings for more than ten years. Even if we’re not blood-related, I’ll always treat her as my elder sister.” Huo Feng’s attitude was extremely stubborn. “Mom, tell me, how is Sister now?”
Mrs. Huo had never been able to refuse her precious son. She sighed helplessly and said, “Huo Tian is doing very well now. Although her biological mother comes from a poor family and has a bad reputation, Huo Tian is still studying at Qingli High School and has even gotten together with Si Huan. You don’t have to worry about her.”
“Sister is together with Si Huan now?” Huo Feng became even more worried. “Given how proud Sister is, she must be together with Si Huan because she’s not doing well. Mom, why are you and Dad so cruel? It’s not like our family can’t support Sister, yet we’re actually kicking her out.”
Upon hearing her son’s complaints, Mrs. Huo snorted unhappily. “If we continue to leave Huo Tian in the Huo Family, how will your biological sister be able to face her? Besides, the Ding Family also wants to find their biological child back and Huo Tian herself isn’t willing to continue staying in the Huo Family. You and Huo Tian are both ingrates to blame your father and me.”
In the past, when Mrs. Huo complained, Huo Feng would definitely coax her with good words. However, today, Huo Feng ignored her tantrum and hung up after giving her a perfunctory reply.
The scenes of their days together in the past flashed past Huo Feng’s eyes, and he felt at a loss.
He felt that the world had changed too quickly. His sister, who had still been sharing her secret with him more than a month ago, was now completely unrelated to him, and his actual sister had also become another girl. This was incomparably ridiculous in Huo Feng’s opinion.
He was now very far away from China. No matter how anxious he was, there was nothing he could do. He got Huo Tian’s contact details from his friend and called her without hesitation.
After two rings, the call was picked up.
“Sister?” Huo Feng couldn’t wait to speak. “I’m Huo Feng. I finally got in touch with you…”
Huo Tian was still half-asleep and her brain was still in a daze. She only felt that the voice on the phone was very noisy and could not hear what the person was saying clearly.
Hence, she replied in a daze, “I don’t have a younger brother. You’ve called the wrong person. Goodbye…”
With that, Huo Tian hung up and switched off the phone before stuffing it under her pillow.
Huo Feng felt very aggrieved when he heard the busy signal on the other end of the line. That was clearly his sister’s voice, so why did she say that she didn’t have a younger brother?
Could it be that after Huo Tian was chased out of the Huo Family by Mr. and Mrs. Huo, she didn’t even want to acknowledge him as her younger brother?
Although Huo Feng wanted to look for Huo Tian to ask her about it, he wouldn’t be able to return to China anytime soon, so he could only feel anxious.
On the other hand, Huo Tian, who was taking Ding Chen’s car to school, completely forgot that she had received a phone call in her sleep.
She handed another wristwatch and a few sensor devices that hadn’t been disguised to Ding Chen.
“Uncle, this is the same alarm device that Mom is wearing. I made it especially for you.”
Those sensor devices were like simple electronic parts, completely incomparable to the exquisite accessories Ding Rong had on her. Ding Chen felt a little jealous.
“Why is it that the devices you made for your mother are exquisite but the ones for me are so ugly?” Ding Chen pinched a sensory device in disdain, pursed his lips, and complained, “I come and go to pick you up from school every day. Why do I only get such treatment?”
“Does Uncle want me to make the sensors into accessories too?” Huo Tian tilted her head and imagined how Ding Chen would look with accessories all over his body. She shuddered in disgust. “Uncle, you don’t look good with so many accessories on you. It’s the truth!”
Ding Chen laughed from the anger. He reached out his hand and stroked Huo Tian’s hair vigorously. “Who wants to wear accessories? Don’t talk nonsense. I just think that the sensors you made for me are too ugly.”
“Uncle, even if you think they are ugly, you have to keep them on you obediently.” Huo Tian seemed to be instructing an ignorant child as she tried to reason with Ding Chen earnestly. “This is for your safety. You have to be good, okay?”
“How can you talk to Uncle like that? Such impudence.” Although Ding Chen complained, he still obediently took the set of alarm equipment.
After completing the mission of sending Huo Tian and Bi Ying to school, Ding Chen went to the company to work.
