Huo You’s eyes were filled with malicious mockery. “To satisfy your vanity, you forced her to hold a birthday banquet for you. Aren’t you making things too difficult for Mom?”

Huo Tian raised her eyelids sluggishly, propped her chin on one hand, and looked at the pretentious Huo You in boredom.

After Huo You finished nagging, Huo Tian said slowly, “You’ve talked so much. What are you trying to say?”

Huo You’s expression cracked a little. Ever since she returned to the Huo Family, Huo You had learned to speak in such an ambiguous manner under her mother’s guidance. Usually, smart people in high society would understand the hidden meaning behind their words before things were spelled out clearly for them.

The mutual probing between two parties was the essence of high society’s interactions. However, Huo Tian was completely different from others. Even though she had been in the Huo Family, which boasted of being from a prestigious family, for 18 years, she still did not like the unspoken rules and methods of interacting with people from high society.

At this moment, Huo Tian looked at the distorted Huo You and said bluntly, “I don’t like to waste my time, especially on someone like you who doesn’t know what they’re doing. So why don’t we be more concise and make things simple?”

The pained expression Huo You had planned to put on froze on her face. She took a few deep breaths before she regained her composure. “Huo Tian, I know you miss the rich life in the Huo Family, but you have to take a good look at your family background. Don’t force Mom to satisfy your unrealistic dream of living in a wealthy family. It’s very hard on Mom. Please understand her, okay?”

Huo Tian frowned in disgust and said impatiently, “I feel disgusted hearing the word ‘Mom’ from you. Please use your knees to think. Would a family with the ability to pay off 20 million yuan living expenses be reduced to poverty because of holding a birthday banquet?”

“But the 20 million yuan was clearly paid for by Si Huan. If it wasn’t for him, how could you have the money to pay off your debt?!”

“You know it quite well.” Huo Tian shrugged nonchalantly and said, “You don’t have to care where our family’s money comes from. You just need to know that our family isn’t as poor as you think.”

Huo You was choked by her reckless tone and said recklessly, “You’re just relying on a man. Why are you acting so smug?”

The moment she finished saying that, Huo You realized that Huo Tian was looking at her coldly. For a moment, she couldn’t help but feel afraid.

Huo Tian sneered, then said mockingly, “Si Huan has indeed helped me a lot. At certain times, he’s indeed my support. But so what? It’s much better than you repeatedly calling ‘Mom’ and then getting engaged to the mastermind who kidnapped my mother.”

The moment the word “kidnapping” was said, it immediately caused an uproar among the surrounding students.

They lived in an ivory tower and the greatest malice they had experienced was being excluded by their classmates who had caused conflicts. That kind of behavior was not even considered a crime. Kidnapping was something too distant from them.

Almost everyone subconsciously thought that Huo Tian was joking. However, from everyone’s understanding of Huo Tian, they didn’t think that she was the kind of person who would joke about her mother.

Therefore, after the initial shock, everyone looked at the grim Huo You.

Huo You shuddered under everyone’s strange gazes. Cold sweat broke out on her back as she stared at Huo Tian.. How did Huo Tian know that the mastermind behind the kidnapping was He Yu?
