Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

Huo Yan clenched his fists and looked down at Huo Ting, "I've said it before, a bastard is a bastard. Even if you take over the Huo family, you still can't wash away the meanness and filthiness in your bones." His words were cold and without any warmth.

When he said this, Shan Lai was still surprised. Huo Yan would always call her "Sister" when he saw her. He had a nice voice and even when she chased him away, he still looked happy and she had almost never heard him say any bad words.

This is the first time I've heard him say this.

Nadel glanced at Huo Ting. For the first time, she felt that Huo Yan, this little green tea girl, was very manly at this moment and could still be useful at the critical moment.

Huo Ting stood up from the ground, "Really? A bastard is a bastard." He didn't seem to be shy about his embarrassing identity at all, and even looked at Huo Yan with a smile when he said this.

"I'm not nobler than those of you who call yourselves the young masters of wealthy families, but at least I don't pretend to be a good person." His words were extremely sarcastic, as if he was targeting one of them.

Huo Yan snorted disdainfully, "Huo Ting, I don't care what you went through in Country M before, but at least your sister saved you and gave you a life. Don't you deserve to die for treating her like this?" Huo Yan didn't bother to be polite with Huo Ting. Every word he said was meant to hurt him.

"It's because she saved me that I can never forget her. I like to pull down the high and mighty pure goddess from the altar. I'm just a despicable guy." Huo Ting smiled evilly.

These words shocked the other three people. It was the first time they heard someone have such a clear understanding of themselves.

Huo Yan was really speechless about this cousin. He snorted coldly, turned around and pulled Shan Lai to walk back. Halfway through, he turned around and said, "Huo Ting, don't do that, otherwise you will die more miserably than anyone else, you lowly bastard." He glanced at him warily and watched their car drive away before turning around and walking to Huo Ting's side.

"Houting, what is your purpose in doing this?"

"Let me think about it." Huo Yan touched his chin, as if he really wanted to figure out why Huo Ting did these things.

"It's to avenge the Huo family for ignoring you for so many years. You want to prove to everyone in the Huo family that you, a so-called illegitimate child, can climb to the position of head of the Huo family. It's also to avenge your mother who was killed by Huo Cheng's grandparents."

"There's nothing wrong with what you did, and it's none of my business. But you shouldn't attack Deng and Shanlai who once helped you." He sneered repeatedly, no longer looking like the cute little puppy he usually was. His evil aura was comparable to Huo Ting's.

This was the first time that Huo Ting examined his cousin so seriously. Usually he seemed to be nonchalant and indifferent to everything. Why did he react so strongly this time?

"Huo Yan, do you know that what I hate most is the way you all look so high and mighty and ignorant of the sufferings of the world? You have become accustomed to a life of luxury and extravagance surrounded by thousands of people, so how can you know what others have paid in order to survive?"

"While you were living a luxurious life, I was still in Country M, worrying about whether I could study. At that time, a boy happened to die in a car accident. He was also an illegitimate child, but his father still hoped that he could receive an education, so I took his identity so that I could go to school." When talking about the past, the madness in Huo Ting's eyes made people tremble.

Huo Yan shook his head, "Madman, you are a madman. Even if the Huo family did something to you, you should take revenge on the Huo family for making you like this. Why do you want to target Shan Lai?" He was still calm at this time, thinking about how to get something out of him. He had also been asking about Huo Ting's past some time ago, but to no avail. Listening to him say it himself was the most intuitive and direct method.

After laughing twice, he shook his head and said, "Is this the way the Huo family thinks about things? You really are of the same lineage."

"I not only want the Huo family, I also want Deng and Shanlai." His eyes revealed an unprecedented madness.

"She helped me when I was in the most difficult time. She shouldn't have helped me. Since she helped me, she should help me all her life and stay by my side. It's hard not to be moved by such a cute little rabbit." Huo Ting smiled evilly and even whistled in a good mood.

Huo Yan didn't know what to say anymore. After listening to this man for a long time, he was certain that this man was a complete lunatic. Normal people would think about how to repay those who helped them, but Huo Ting was different. He was thinking about how his benefactor would go to hell with him.

Feeling that he hadn't made his point, Huo Yan wasn't going to waste any more time with him, so he turned around, opened the car door and wanted to leave.

"Huo Yan, since you are involved in this matter, you can't run away." Huo Ting's joking voice came.

The hand that was about to open the car door paused, and a flash of emotion passed through Huo Yan's eyes. He must have developed an antisocial personality.

After Huo Yan left, Huo Ting whistled and walked into the coffee shop with one hand in his pocket.

……

Shanlai took a sip of water with trembling hands.

Nadel, who was driving, had a gloomy face, but still couldn't help but curse, "Bitch." Turning his head to look at the person in the passenger seat, his already lifeless eyes seemed even more lifeless. Maybe she was scared by what happened today.

"Be good." Nadel shouted these two words with bitterness in his mouth.

"Hmm?" Shan Lai raised her tone. Is there something wrong with her?

After hesitating for a while, Nadel still didn't ask her question. She changed the subject and said, "It would be safer for us to investigate Qiu Yingxue's matter first. I have already called my brother about Huo Ting's matter. He will tell us if there is any news."

Thinking that Xiaoyou and Ximen's wedding was just a few days away, Shanlai had a bad feeling in his heart, "Nadel, go back today and call Lei and the others over to discuss how to decorate Ximen's wedding venue. We must ensure that everything goes well. This is the only wedding in Xiaoyou's life."

"I'll figure out a way with Huo Ting."

"Send me to Deng and Yao first. I need their help at this time." Shan Lai took a deep breath. In such a critical moment, she should look for someone to support her. Her parents were not in Country K at the moment, so she had to prepare for the worst.

"Okay." Nadel nodded. Huo Ting was a madman who didn't care about his life. To deal with someone like him, one must be fully prepared and not give him a chance to turn things around.
