The guests also realized that the Si Family’s members had gone missing collectively for a period of time, but they were smart people and didn’t raise any questions. They just thought that the Si Family’s members had taken this period of time to discuss some internal affairs of the family.
Unlike the guests who didn’t know the truth, Huo You knew very well why the Si Family’s members and He Yu had disappeared.
She was also looking forward to seeing He Yu’s victorious return. However, what worried Huo You was that after the Si Family’s members appeared at the banquet, He Yu didn’t appear even after very long had passed. This made the anticipation in her heart gradually turn to apprehension.
Therefore, Huo You had been paying attention to the direction He Yu had left in. However, she hadn’t seen He Yu at all. Instead, she had noticed Si Huan. He had one arm around Huo Tian as he avoided the crowd. Looking in their direction, it seemed like he wanted to leave secretly.
Huo You followed them without hesitation. Si Huan sharply noticed the sound of footsteps behind him.
He turned around with Huo Tian and saw Huo You striding towards them.
Si Huan’s expression was calm. “Miss Huo, this is a private area. Please leave quickly.”
Although Si Huan didn’t criticize her directly, his tone and demeanor seemed to be mocking Huo You that her behavior of barging into a private area wasn’t befitting of a young miss from a wealthy family.
Huo You couldn’t help but feel like she was being looked down on. This feeling was the same as what she felt every time she saw Si Huan in her previous life.
She forced herself to rein in the thoughts in her mind and said, “I’m sorry, I just wanted to ask about He Yu’s whereabouts. He said that he wanted to talk to Mr. Si about some matters, but he hasn’t returned yet.”
Huo Tian had been leaning against Si Huan and seemed to be in a daze. She came back to her senses when she heard He Yu’s name. She looked at Huo You, who was nearby, and she recalled the harsh words Huo You had said to her outside the lounge.
Huo Tian stared at Huo You and suddenly asked, “Huo You, you know why He Yu is here today, right?”
Huo You had noticed Huo Tian’s abnormal mood long ago. She thought that He Yu had successfully collaborated with the other Si Family’s members to snatch Si Huan’s new energy project. Huo Tian had suffered a huge blow, causing her to look so dejected.
Although she hadn’t seen He Yu or heard the good news from him, Huo You still had a proud look on her face that couldn’t be ignored.
She nodded and said, “That’s right, Huo Tian. Not only do I know why He Yu is here today, but I also know all his plans like the back of my hand. Even…”
Huo You wanted to say that she had played an important role in He Yu’s plan, but she didn’t continue…
Because Huo Tian had dashed up to her at great speed within two to three steps, raised her hand, and gave her a tight slap.
Huo You couldn’t withstand Huo Tian’s force and fell to the ground. Her cheeks quickly became red and swollen, and a metal taste filled her mouth…
After being knocked to the ground without warning, Huo You’s first reaction was not to cry but to look around quickly. Then, she was glad to find that she had left the banquet venue with Si Huan and Huo Tian. The place they were at now was sufficiently secluded, and even though there was such a big commotion here, it did not attract anyone’s attention…
After making sure that no one saw her unpresentable state, Huo You covered her swollen cheek and glared at Huo Tian. “Huo Tian, what are you doing?!”
Huo Tian had lost control of her emotions in front of He Yu before. Right now, even though she was furious, she didn’t lose her rationality.
She grabbed Huo You’s hair and glared into her eyes, enunciating each word clearly. “The hooligans who caused trouble in Uncle’s company and the kidnappers who put Mom through all those things at home were all because of He Yu’s plan. You know these too, right?”
Huo You met Huo Tian’s pitch-black and bottomless eyes and her heart suddenly clenched up. Her face turned pale and her lips trembled, but she couldn’t give a strong explanation…
She could only mutter in defense, “No, this has nothing to do with me. I didn’t want that to happen either…”
Huo Tian had never liked to keep worthless memories, but she recalled many details of the past. She looked into Huo You’s eyes and said coldly, “No, you definitely know of He Yu’s plan. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been afraid to verify the identity of the person who died after the kidnapping…”
“I didn’t…” Huo You shook her head frantically.” That’s because my parents were mistaken. I was misled by them.”
“Excuses! That Huo couple has always been arrogant. There’s indeed a possibility that they were wrong, but you’ve always regarded me as a thorn in your side. Yet, to think that you didn’t get to know the news about the kidnapping on the Internet in time. This can only mean one thing. You were feeling guilty!”
“What were you feeling guilty about?” Huo Tian moved closer to Huo You’s face and stared into her eyes.
