Chapter 63: Not Familiar With Her
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This group of profligates was all those who didn’t strive for progression. They failed to live up to expectations and were excluded from the circle of the family’s successors. In the past, they could only crowd around Huo Tian, who looked upon them with disdain.
Ever since the bizarre incident of the real and fake young miss from the Huo Family happened and Huo You returned to the Huo Family, these profligates naturally abandoned Huo Tian and gathered around Huo You.
Compared to how Huo Tian had been lofty and out of reach, Huo You, the real young miss, was much more approachable and became good friends with the profligates.
After hanging out with Huo You for a long time, these profligates felt that Huo Feng, a successor of a family whom everyone had high hopes for, was nothing much.
A boy casually put his arm around Huo Feng’s shoulder. “Huo Feng, I heard that you just came back from the North Pole. Let’s find a time to gather together and you can tell us about what happened at the North Pole. Let us all broaden our horizons with you!”
In front of Huo Tian, Huo Feng was a cute little puppy who liked to act spoiled. However, in front of others, he had always been like a lone wolf.
Huo Feng only felt offended by him acting familiarly with him and exchanging pleasantries. A layer of frost seemed to have frozen on his face as he reached out and swung the boy’s arm away coldly.
“I’m sorry, we’re not familiar…”
The guy’s expression instantly became extremely awkward.
A girl beside Huo You quickly tried to ease the tension. “It’s okay, it’s okay. You didn’t have much contact with us in the past, but we’re all your sister’s good friends. We’ll get to know each other better in the future.”
The guy who had been feeling awkward seemed to have found a way out of the embarrassing situation and laughed out loud. “That’s right, that’s right. We’re your sister’s friends, so we’re your friends too. We’ll get to know each other better if we play together more often in the future.”
Huo Feng’s gaze finally landed on Huo You, who was surrounded by a group of profligates.
Compared to Huo Tian, who had deliberately pretended to be rebellious in the Huo Family, Huo You looked more like a young miss who had been raised by the Huo Family. Huo Feng could even see through her perfect smile that deep down, she resembled the Huo Family.
Cold, selfish, unscrupulous in order to achieve her goals.
Huo Feng detested every member of the Huo Family, and naturally, also detested this biological sister who looked no different from the Huo Family even though she had just returned.
His lips curled up into a cynical smile, and the words he said were cold without a trace of warmth. “I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with this sister either. I probably won’t get along well with her friends either.”
The atmosphere froze up instantly. The people around Huo You couldn’t help but look back and forth between her and Huo Feng in surprise. These questioning and suspicious gazes made Huo You feel very uncomfortable.
Huo You tried her best to maintain the impeccable smile on her face and nodded at Huo Feng. “Huo Feng, this is our first time meeting so it’s natural that we aren’t familiar with each other. But we share the same bloodline, so I believe we can get along well.”
She generously stretched out her hand to Huo Feng, acting like an extremely tolerant older sister to a younger brother who was throwing tantrums.
However, this tolerant and generous attitude did not get to meet Huo Feng’s friendliness.
Huo Feng only stared at her outstretched hand for a few seconds, then he smiled coldly and said in an ambiguous tone, “It seems like you’re really from the Huo Family. You’ve only returned to the Huo Family for a few days, but you’ve already learned their hypocrisy.”
Huo You didn’t look embarrassed at all by the rejection. She calmly retracted her hand without a change in the smile on her face.
Huo You maintained her composure. “Brother, you’re also from the Huo Family. You should take note to uphold the Huo Family’s reputation.”
“You just came back a few days ago, but you’re already putting on the airs of an older sister in front of me.” Huo Feng sneered. “Since you’re so proud of your Huo Family’s identity, I’ll leave the Huo Family’s reputation for you to protect. I hope that your performance will satisfy Dad and Mom. That way, they won’t just keep their eyes on me.”
Huo Feng’s words were full of contempt for Mr. and Mrs. Huo, and there was even a hint of disdain.
However, in Huo You’s ears, it felt particularly ironic. She had tried her best to win Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s approval, but in the end, she had only gained Mr. Huo’s contempt and Mrs. Huo’s wariness.
As for Huo Feng, because he was a boy, he could easily get all of Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s attention, while he wanted to shun this.
Huo You’s heart was gradually filled with distorted jealousy. Why were Huo Feng and Huo Tian both like this? They could always easily get things that she couldn’t get even if she tried their best.
After having been through Mrs. Huo’s strict teachings, Huo You had learned to hide her emotions. Even though her heart was twisted from jealousy, she still kept a smile in front of Huo Feng.
“What are you talking about? Brother, you’re the Huo Family’s heir, so Dad and Mom have high hopes for you. How can they neglect your feelings just because of me, a sister who had just come back?”
