Chapter 256: Old Father

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Huo Feng couldn’t help but recall the past when Huo Tian was still in the Huo Family. Back then, Huo Tian had led a very depressing life in the Huo Family. In order to vent the emotions in her heart, she had turned into a punk girl from whom people would keep a respectful distance.

Mr. and Mrs. Huo were completely disappointed in Huo Tian and were unwilling to even look at her. As long as Mr. and Mrs. Huo saw Huo Tian, they would impatiently tell her to scram back into her room.

At that time, Huo Tian wanted to break free from Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s control, but she was unable to do so. She lived in an extremely painful and gloomy family. However, even under such circumstances, Huo Tian still spared no effort to protect Huo Feng. Every time Mr. and Mrs. Huo were angry at Huo Feng, Huo Tian would appear in time to turn their anger toward her.

At first, Huo Feng didn’t understand the things Huo Tian had done for him. Later on, Huo Feng gradually grew older and vaguely understood that every time his sister was locked in the small black room by his parents on his behalf, it was a way for her to protect him.

Huo Feng had never experienced normal kinship. He had also wondered why Huo Tian would do this. After a long time, Huo Feng didn’t notice any schemes from Huo Tian, so he asked about his doubts…

At that time, the girl who had just been released from the small black room reached out her hand to rub the young Huo Feng’s hair, a weak smile appearing on her face. “Because I’m your sister. When you are young, I’ll protect you. When we’re older, it’ll be your turn to protect me. This is an equivalent exchange.”

(That’s not an equivalent exchange. It’s just because I have the best sister in the world.)

A smile appeared on Huo Feng’s lips. He thought, (What should I do, Sister? I haven’t grown up completely, but you don’t seem to need my protection anymore…)

At this moment, the Ding Family’s small courtyard was very lively. In order to celebrate the end of the semester and how Huo Tian and her friends had achieved good results, they decided to gather together to celebrate.

When they were in school previously, Zhao Feng had suggested that they had a barbeque by themselves. Of course, the location was chosen to be in the Ding Family’s small courtyard. There was no strict management of the property here, and the place was spacious, making it very suitable for a barbeque.

The others didn’t have any objections. After the school matters were over, Zhao Feng went back to his home with Si Huan then brought the barbeque tools to the Ding Family’s small courtyard. On the way home, Huo Tian and Bi Ying headed to the supermarket and bought a lot of food that could be used for barbeque.

As soon as they reached home, they got everyone started to process the ingredients together.

Xi Cheng’s expression turned a little grim when he heard that Si Huan was also coming to the house later. However, before he could raise any objections, he was held back by Ding Rong’s light gaze.

Xi Cheng felt aggrieved. When no one was paying attention, he whispered into Ding Rong’s ear and complained, “That brat Si Huan is not honest at all. How can we let him get close to Tiantian?”

Ding Rong said, as if she expected better from him, “Are you stupid? Tiantian and Si Huan are good friends. Now, their group of friends is gathered together to have a barbeque. You’re targeting Si Huan alone and refusing to let him come over. What reason are you planning to use to deceive Tiantian?”

Xi Cheng was speechless. Although Huo Tian was a little slow when it came to relationships, her intelligence was there. As long as there was something wrong, she would be able to figure out the reason why Xi Cheng, who was her father, was targeting Si Huan.

At that time, that brat Si Huan would definitely confess to Tiantian in a logical flow of events. If that happened, even if Xi Cheng was her father, he could no longer interfere with the development of Huo Tian and Si Huan’s relationship…

Xi Cheng did not need any transition at all to adjust his mentality to that of an old father who was worried that his daughter would be taken away.. “Sigh, raising a daughter is really difficult. I have to constantly be wary of those brats who have improper thoughts about my daughter…”
