The fundings for the school’s new laboratory needed to be approved by the board of directors. Therefore, during the period when school started, Huo Tian went to class every day like the other students.

Huo Tian thought that staying in the classroom every day would give Huo You more opportunities to look for her trouble, but unexpectedly, Huo You had been very quiet during this period of time. Although she often threw her vicious glares, she didn’t do anything.

This made Huo Tian feel very strange but also relieved at the same time. After all, she really didn’t want to waste her time on meaningless things. If only Huo You could keep this up in the future.

However, what Huo Tian did not know was that Huo You’s silence did not mean that she did not intend to find trouble for Huo Tian. She merely listened to her mother’s teachings and planned to use more subtle and efficient methods to deal with Huo Tian.

After all, Huo You knew that her advantages over Huo Tian were her family background and strong connections.

Huo You and the CEO of Hein Corporation, He Yu, had been keeping in touch. The Huo Family had expressed their desire for a political marriage, and He Yu didn’t seem to be against it. However, his attitude towards Huo You had always been lukewarm. This made Huo You unhappy, so their relationship hadn’t progressed much.

However, Huo You wasn’t against using He Yu to achieve her goals.

Over the past few days, Huo You and He Yu had been interacting more frequently.

“…So this is why you suddenly became so passionate towards me? You want me to help you deal with Huo Tian as the school’s chairman?”

He Yu chuckled and looked at Huo You with an amused expression. “As expected of the real Huo Family’s daughter. You really are like the Huo Family, viewing interests above everything else.”

Huo You, who was exposed, was a little furious. “So what if that’s the case? Are you going to help me or not?”

“Why did you get angry? I didn’t say I wouldn’t help you.” He Yu lifted Huo You’s hand, gently rubbed her fingertips, then planted a soft kiss on her fingers.

“It’s no big deal. As long as Miss Huo gives me some benefits, I’ll help you get it done.”

Huo You’s cheeks slowly turned pink. She met He Yu’s gaze and her heart started racing.

After returning to school, Huo You would occasionally think about the time she spent with He Yu, and she would feel a strange emotion rising in her heart. She couldn’t tell if it was because her relationship with He Yu had improved or because she was confident that she could drive Huo Tian out of Qingli.

Qingli High School was a boarding school, but there were also students who applied to be day students. Huo Tian was one of them. Every day, Ding Chen would be the one to pick her up from or send her to school. Usually, things would go very smoothly, but on weekends, the entire street in front of Qingli High School would be blocked.

Huo Tian’s bag was carried by Si Huan. She and her friends had just walked out of the school gate when they saw Ding Chen waving at them. “Tiantian, Uncle is here!”

He was dressed in a cheap short-sleeved shirt and sports shorts, making him stand out from the well-dressed parents around him. However, Huo Tian didn’t care about the looks of contempt those parents and students gave and ran happily toward Ding Chen.

“Yay!” The uncle and niece jumped up and did a high-five happily.

Ding Chen took out a can of iced cola. “Here, I bought it secretly behind your mother’s back. Don’t let your mother know, or I’ll be in trouble.”

“Thank you, Uncle. You’re the best!” Huo Tian drank a few mouthfuls of cola and heaved a long sigh.

Si Huan and Bi Ying walked over and exchanged greetings with Ding Chen.

Bi Ying said, “Auntie Ding doesn’t allow Huo Tian to drink too much coke. The sugar she consumes is too much.”

Ding Chen handed mineral water to Si Huan and Bi Ying and explained, “Tiantian complains about overusing her brain every day and says that she needs to consume more sugar. At home, there’s my sister to watch over her, and in school, you guys watch over her. I only buy her some ice cream and cola occasionally.”

Si Huan also said, “It’s fine as long as she takes regular medical checkups and pays attention to the intake of other micronutrients, it’s fine. There’s no need to control her diet too strictly.”

Ding Chen’s attitude towards Si Huan was not as enthusiastic as when he was facing Bi Ying. Although he realized after a period of observation that Si Huan did not seem like he wanted to run off with their Tiantian, Ding Chen was still wary of him.

More and more students and parents gathered at the school entrance. The few of them squeezed through the crowd and walked towards a hotel not far away.

Ding Chen said, “Fortunately, Si Huan asked me to park my car at his hotel. Otherwise, we would have been stuck on this street for half a day. Moreover, there are so many luxury cars here. I’m really afraid that our lousy Xiali would scratch someone’s Maserati.”

Huo Tian comforted her uncle, “It’s okay, Uncle. I’m going to have money soon. I’ll get you a Maserati for you too!”

“You’re really Uncle’s caring child.” Ding Chen made an exaggerated expression of feeling touched. “But what if Uncle wants a Rolls-Royce more?”

Huo Tian waved her hand generously. “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for you to have both the Maserati and the Rolls-Royce!”

The uncle and niece were happily boasting when they heard a slightly sarcastic and elegant female voice say, “Tiantian, it seems like you’ve been doing quite well after leaving the Huo Family.. Since you’re preparing to buy a luxury car, you must have the ability to pay back your debts, right?”
