300: Birth Father and Foster Father

Birth Father and Foster Father

Mr. Xu went up to them with a smile. "CEO Huo, I was just about to go greet Mr. Hill. Why don't we go over together?"2

The Huo Family's members had been keeping a low profile at this banquet. Although they had attended the event, they didn't wish to attract other people's attention.

However, some people could not read the atmosphere and wanted to bring the Huo Family's members to the Hill Family's head.

Mr. Huo looked at the amiable Mr. Xu and knew that this person was hiding evil intentions. He wanted to see him make a fool of himself.

He subconsciously gritted his teeth, but he could not show any signs of backing off on the surface.

Mr. Huo pretended to be calm and nodded. "I happened to see a friend and was about to greet him before greeting Mr. Hill. Mr. Xu, you can go ahead first."

Although Mr. Xu could not stand Mr. Huo's actions, he could not fall out with him now. He merely brought up a line of sarcasm and then planned on letting things go. "In that case, I'll leave first. On the account that both our daughters are classmates, I think Mr. Hill won't mind chatting a little more with me."

Mr. Huo forced a smile and was about to say a few more words to chase Mr. Xu away.

He then heard Huo Feng, who was half a step behind him, suddenly saying, "Dad, Mr. Hill's legs aren't well, so I don't think that he'd be staying at the banquet for too long. Why don't we greet Mr. Hill now? Speaking of which, our relationship with the Hill Family is deeper than Uncle Xu. After all, Uncle Xu's daughter is just Sister Tiantian's classmate, but I'm close siblings with her."

In the past, Huo Feng had always known his limits and had never suddenly said anything inappropriate at important events.

Therefore, Mr. Huo's first reaction was not anger but surprise. He looked at Huo Feng in disbelief and realized that his youngest son, who had always appeared obedient and sensible, was now facing him with the same humble smile as before. However, his eyes carried some depth and darkness that shouldn't be present for one his age.

Mr. Huo felt his heart skip a few beats and he suddenly had a bad feeling. However, he didn't think that his son would do anything that would be detrimental to the Huo Family, so after the initial surprise, he became angry again. "Huo Feng, shut up."

There was no trace of fear on Huo Feng's face. He continued to smile and said, "Dad, did I say anything wrong? You've always doted on Sister Tiantian and had mentioned more than once that you wanted to bring her back to the Huo Family. You also said that the proudest thing in your life was to raise Sister Tiantian to be so outstanding. It's because of your and Mom's encouragement that I've been maintaining a friendly relationship with Sister Tiantian even after she left the Huo Family."

Mr. Huo could no longer maintain the expression on his face. As he gritted his teeth tightly, the muscles on his cheeks were trembling. He said word by word, "Huo Feng, I'll say it one more time. Shut up!"

Mr. Huo, whose attention was all on Huo Feng, did not notice the group of people gradually walking towards them until Xi Cheng's indifferent voice rang out. "Mr. Huo, so you've always thought that my daughter's excellence was nurtured by your Huo Family. Why did I hear that Huo Tian gave you and Mrs. Huo a lot of trouble when she was in the Huo Family? I heard that you guys would always complain about her rebelliousness, depravity, and how she achieved nothing to everyone you meet!"

The temperature in the banquet hall was suitable, but cold sweat broke out on Mr. Huo's forehead. His face was also very pale, and he did not dare to look at Mr. Hill's expression. He stammered for a moment before finding a suitable excuse. "Mr. Hill, I'm very sorry. My wife and I are very mediocre and we're still in the learning stage regarding the children's upbringing. We might have hurt Tiantian in the past, but that wasn't our intention…"
