Chapter 102: Scary Woman
Just as Mr. and Mrs. Huo were about to flick their sleeves and leave, they suddenly heard a series of tinkling sounds coming from the tailor shop in front of the small courtyard. Then, they heard a crisp and pleasant female voice. “Uncle, I’m back. I brought you takeaway!”
The young girl’s voice was like a lark, crisp and happy, ringing through the entire courtyard. This lark pushed open the courtyard door with light footsteps and saw that other than Ding Chen, there were two other people in the courtyard.
Huo Tian’s puzzled gaze circled around Mr. and Mrs. Huo before she looked away. She walked over briskly and placed the takeaway on the stone table in the small courtyard.
“Uncle, I thought you were still resting. I didn’t expect that there would be guests. What are you talking about? Are you done talking? No matter what, Uncle, you should eat first.”
Mr. and Mrs. Huo frowned at Huo Tian, who was very different from what they rembered.
In the past, Huo Tian was a dull and introverted girl who always put on a gloomy appearance. No matter what she did, she would always make people unhappy. However, this Huo Tian in front of her was cheerful and lively. Her innocent eyes were like those of a child who was ignorant of the world.
Her voice was crisp and pleasant to the ears, filled with enthusiasm for life. Although she looked a little rude, everyone who saw her would involuntarily smile. In front of such a girl, who would be harsh toward her to request for her to keep up with etiquette?
Although Huo Tian’s spirit and attitude had changed drastically, her appearance hadn’t changed much. Mr. and Mrs. Huo still recognized her.
However, what they could not accept was that the way Huo Tian looked at them was so unfamiliar. It was as if she was looking at two unrelated people.
Ding Chen watched as Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s expressions turned increasingly grimr, and he laughed inwardly. He had been with Huo Tian for such a long ti, so of course he understood that Huo Tian had so small problems. For example, Huo Tian had never liked to rember people and things that were not important. She had interacted with the surrounding neighbors for so long, but occasionally, she would still recognize so of them wrongly.
Seeing that Mr. and Mrs. Huo were about to explode in anger, Ding Chen quickly patted Huo Tian’s hand and said, “There’s no need for you to put out the takeaway for . These two are here to look for you. Talk to them first.”
Huo Tian put down the takeaway boxes and looked doubtfully at Mr. and Mrs. Huo, who were standing in the courtyard. “Uncle said you were here to look for . What’s the matter?”
Mr. Huo’s face darkened. He said in a low voice with an unhappy expression, “Huo Tian, have you forgotten all the manners you’ve learned since you were young when you were in the Ding Family? You didn’t greet or your mother when you saw us?”
Huo Tian was stunned by the scolding. She frowned and thought for a long while before finally rembering the identity of the couple in front of her.
Huo Tian said unhappily, “I don’t have anything to do with you guys anymore. Huo You hasn’t co to find trouble for either. Why did you guys co all the way here to scold ?”
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two parties was a little stiff, Mrs. Huo tried to smooth things over and said, “Tiantian, your father has always had this temper. He’s straightforward and headstrong, so you don’t have to mind what your father says.”
Huo Tian nodded. “Alright, since you say so, I won’t fuss about what he had scolded about earlier. Oh right, why did you guys co to look for ?”
Mrs. Huo felt that this was a sign that Huo Tian’s attitude had softened. She imdiately revealed a loving smile and told Huo Tian about her and her father’s motive for coming to the Ding Family. Then, she took Huo Tian’s hand and looked at her lovingly.
“Tiantian, Daddy and Mommy used to be busy with work and had neglected your feelings. We heard from Huo Feng that you used to pretend to be rebellious in order to attract our attention. Your father and I have discussed this many tis over this period of ti. In the end, we have decided to let you return to the Huo Family. You will also be our daughter and our family of five will live happily together in the future, okay?”
Huo Tian’s hand was held by Mrs. Huo. She stared blankly at the woman with an amiable smile on her face and suddenly shuddered.
Mrs. Huo imdiately asked in concern, “Tiantian, what’s wrong? Are you sick? Is it because you’re wearing too little clothing? You’ve been careless since you were young. After Mommy’s side, you can’t even take care of yourself. Sigh, Mommy’s heart aches so much…”
As Mrs. Huo spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and were about to fall.
Huo Tian imdiately retracted her hand and took a few steps back. “Stop, stop, stop. Don’t cry. I didn’t shiver because I was wearing too little. It was because you’re too scary!”
Mrs. Huo’s expression froze. She raised her voice in disbelief. “Tiantian, you actually said that I’m scary?!”
Huo Tian nodded with a solemn expression. “That’s right, don’t you think you’re very scary? Back then, when we brought Huo You back to the Huo Family, you were like a cold and rciless villain who chased away. Now, you’re actually being so sincere in wanting to bring back to the Huo Family. Don’t you think it’s very scary to be so inconsistent?”
