Mrs. Huo was so angry that she couldn’t speak. She raised her hand, wanting to slap Huo You’s face again. This time, Huo You was already prepared. She reached out her arm to block Mrs. Huo’s slap and grabbed her wrist.

Mrs. Huo said angrily, “Huo You, how dare you lay a hand on me?”

“I’m just blocking your hand.” Huo You’s expression was cold. She pushed hard, causing Mrs. Huo to stumble. Then, she said slowly, “I must at least do it to this extent to be considered laying a hand on you, right?”

Huo Feng, who had been staying silent and watching the situation unfold, looked at Huo You in surprise. He was surprised that she had such guts.

Mrs. Huo stumbled a few steps and fell onto the sofa. Her face flushed red with anger. After realizing that Huo You was not afraid of her at all, she looked at Mr. Huo and called out tearfully, “Hubby, look at Huo You. How could she do this to me?”

Mr. Huo frowned and glanced at Mrs. Huo’s face. “That’s enough. Huo You wasn’t brought up by us after all. She isn’t of one mind as us. In the future, just treat it as if you don’t have this daughter.”

Mrs. Huo only wanted Mr. Huo to teach Huo You a lesson, but she didn’t expect him to say that. She was stunned for a moment and forgot to pretend to be pitiful.

On the other hand, Huo You’s face was pale, making the palm print even more conspicuous. She looked at Mr. Huo in disbelief and muttered, “Dad…”

Mr. Huo looked at Huo You with a gaze as if she was a dog or a pot of flowers. In short, he didn’t treat her as his own daughter at all. He said coldly, “Huo You, even if you’re related to us by blood, kinship isn’t a natural thing. From the moment you took the initiative to acknowledge us, we’ve given you the identity of the Huo Family’s only daughter, the rich life you’ve dreamed of, and a good marriage for you. I don’t think I’ve let you down in any way.”

He slowly walked in front of Huo You and said coldly, “But what about you? You keep feeling that we haven’t given you enough. Do you think I can’t tell what your ambitions are? You want to show that you’re doing better than Huo Tian in every aspect and want to use your wits to gain the right to have a say in the company. After you provoked He Yu, you want to kick him away…”

“If we don’t satisfy your ambitions, you’ll feel resentful. Your mother is right. We should have been more careful back then. Even though Huo Tian was in her rebellious stage and was a little unreasonable back then, she was still much better than an ungrateful person like you!”

As Mr. Huo’s words became increasingly harsher, Huo You’s face turned paler. She looked at Mr. Huo in a daze, never knowing that her thoughts were seen so clearly by him.

No one wanted to have the darkest thoughts in their hearts be exposed. Mr. and Mrs. Huo were unwilling to be criticized by Huo You for being cold-blooded and viewing their interests above everything else, while Huo You was unwilling to be exposed for being selfish and ungrateful.

Her lips trembled as she wanted to refute Mr. Huo’s words, but after stammering for a moment, she said, “No, I didn’t…”

However, Mr. Huo waved his hand, not wanting to hear her explanation at all. “That’s enough, you don’t have to say anything else. Just treat it as if you and I aren’t fated to be father and daughter. Don’t worry, I won’t chase you out of the Huo Family, but I won’t treat you with the attitude of a father either. From now on, if you want to get anything using the Huo Family’s reputation and status, you’ll need to make an equivalent exchange.”

Huo You didn’t seem to understand what Mr. Huo meant. She muttered, “An equivalent exchange?”

Mr. Huo nodded and said, “That’s right.. Since you don’t have any feelings for us and don’t have a sense of belonging to the Huo Family, let’s make our relationship simpler, just like transactions. That’s very fair, isn’t it?”
