333: Not To Be Underestimated

Not To Be Underestimated

When the butler heard this pretentious response, he felt a sense of mockery in his heart. He subconsciously compared Huo Tian to Huo You. The butler felt that the two of them were worlds apart. This Miss Huo You who would ingratiate herself to someone else to achieve her ends wasn't even fit to carry their little princess's shoes. He really didn't expect that this young lady had been raised and taught by their madam.1

No matter how much disdain and contempt he felt, the butler wouldn't show it on his face.

He continued to say respectfully and carefully, "That gentleman will be punished. He has been sent out of the manor by the security guards and will not appear at the Hill Family's banquet in the future. Madam asked me to tell you to relax and enjoy the rest of the banquet."

Huo You nodded. She didn't know what to say anymore. Fortunately, the butler understood his mission very well. After a few simple sentences, he expressed that Ding Rong still had a trace of kindness for her adopted daughter who had returned to the Huo Family. Just this kindness alone was enough to show that this adopted daughter was not to be underestimated.

After the butler left, the surrounding people looked at Huo You with even more fervent gazes. The few foreign friends who had been treating Huo You and He Yu casually earlier immediately said to Huo You in a friendly and respectful manner, "Dear Miss Huo You, I didn't expect you to be Mrs. Hill's adopted daughter. You Chinese are so reserved and keep such a low profile…"

The foreigner was about to ask Huo You to introduce him to Mrs. Hill, but before he could say anything, a middle-aged woman walked over. This woman's surname was Song and she had met Huo You a few times in the past. She was considered familiar with Mrs. Huo and didn't have many interactions with juniors like Huo You.

However, even if they didn't have any interactions with each other, she had to create opportunities for the interactions. Without any hesitation, this Auntie Song grabbed Huo You's arm and said very intimately, "Youyou, Auntie Song wanted to come over to greet you from the start, but Mrs. Huo isn't by your side, so I felt shy about coming up to you. Now, it seems that I have to come over. Mrs. Hill took so much care of you just now, so you'll definitely have to go greet her later. At that time, as your elder, I'll go over with you…"

When another woman beside her saw this, she immediately pursed her lips and said disdainfully, "That Song woman is really thick-skinned, treating herself as Youyou's elder. Isn't she just trying to build a relationship with Mrs. Hill in a roundabout way?"

Auntie Song was mentally strong and didn't take these cold words to heart at all. She only smiled at Huo You.

Huo You didn't give her any face and retracted her hand wearily. She said to He Yu, "I'm a little tired. Why don't we go back first?"

He Yu frowned slightly. He subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with Huo You and Mrs. Hill's relationship, but it wasn't appropriate for him to probe further. Hence, he nodded and wrapped Huo You in his embrace.

He raised his voice slightly. "Youyou is tired, so I'll take her home to rest first. I'm sorry, everyone, but we'll have to excuse ourselves."

Everyone felt regretful. If they let Huo You leave just like that, they would have missed a chance to visit Mrs. Hill. Actually, logically speaking, Huo You should have expressed her gratitude to Mrs. Hill. Why did she leave just like that?

Some people felt that Huo You was probably arrogant because she treated kindly, but some people vaguely guessed the truth. They felt that there shouldn't be such a deep relationship between Huo You and Mrs. Hill. After all, Huo You had caused such a scene in order to meet the Huo Family, and Mrs. Hill had her own temper. How could she not have any grudges against this adopted daughter?

Everyone had all sorts of guesses in their hearts. No one knew the actual situation.

He Yu was impatient and wasn't one to beat about the bush. If there was anything he didn't understand, he would choose to ask directly.

He Yu got into the He Family's private car and raised the partition between the driver's seat and the backseat. He then asked Huo You, who was beside him, "When you went to the dressing room to touch up your makeup, did you meet Mrs. Hill? What happened between the two of you?"

Huo You turned to look out the window and replied stiffly, "This has nothing to do with you."

He Yu grabbed Huo You's arm in frustration and whispered into her ear, "How can this be unrelated to me? Don't forget what the two of us had conspired to do to Mrs. Hill. If she finds out about that…"
