Chapter 4: Hitching A Ride
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the VIP room on the second floor, several men with great statuses and authority had watched a good show.
Zhao Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Mr. Huo, your family matters can even be filmed in a family ethics drama. It\'s really exciting, don\'t you think, Ah Huan?"
It was more accurate to say that the person he called was between the phase of a youth and a young man rather than a man. However, no one present dared to look down on him because of his age
Si Huan\'s eyes were cold. "It\'s very boring."
"Wow, you actually find such an interesting plot boring?"
Zhao Feng clicked his tongue and said, "Oh right, when Old Master Huo was still around, he even mentioned to your family that he wanted you to get engaged to that fake Miss. That was a woman who almost became your fiancée. Are you really not interested at all?"
Mr. Huo quickly said, "My father was muddled back then. How could Huo Tian be a good match for Young Master Si? But my biological daughter, Huo You, is an outstanding girl. If you\'re willing, we can change the engagement."
Before Si Huan could reject him, the man sitting on the other sofa, who had been silent all this while, sneered. "Old Huo, the Si family is already on the decline. I didn\'t expect you to rush to flatter a brat\'s smelly feet. With your judgment, no wonder you helped others raise their daughter for more than ten years in vain."
As Si Huan\'s friend, Zhao Feng found it hard to tolerate someone looking down on him.
However, Si Huan didn\'t care about this kind of provocation at all. He stood up directly and said to Mr. Huo, "Back then, Old Master Huo and my grandfather only had the intention of having a marriage alliance. Our two families didn\'t have a marriage agreement, thus the matter of changing the marriage partner doesn\'t exist. Mr. Huo, I still have something on, so I\'ll take my leave first."
Zhao Feng followed Si Huan out of the Huo Family\'s villa. He clicked his tongue and said, "That Huo guy doesn\'t want you to be his son-in-law. He\'s just thinking of collaborating with you to develop that piece of land. Why didn\'t you promise him to get along with Huo You first? We can talk about marriage later. The most important thing now is to take down the business project for the new shopping district."
"The Huo Family is too narrow-minded in the way they do things."
Si Huan said, "The Huo Corporation is not a good partner to work with. Moreover, there\'s also the Hein Corporation who is competing with us."
Zhao Feng nodded. "That\'s true. Although the project is good, I really don\'t think much of the Huo Family. I can be more relaxed without having to deal with them."
Ever since his parents passed away in a car accident, Si Huan became distrustful of any chauffeurs. Hence, he drove his own car to attend the banquet.
After parting ways with Zhao Feng in the parking lot, Si Huan left in a specially modified sports car.
The Huo Family\'s villa was built on a beautiful hill in the suburbs of Shangjing. The area was sparsely populated across a few kilometers. Si Huan\'s sports car didn\'t drive for long before he saw the girl who was walking slowly by the road.
Huo Tian was wearing a ripped T-shirt and jeans, her bright purple hair was pulled back into a ponytail. She looked no different from the other rebellious teenagers.
She strolled leisurely on the mountain road, occasionally bending over to touch the wildflowers on the side of the road. She did not look like a pitiful wretch who had suddenly met with a great change and had lost her identity as the daughter of a wealthy family. Instead, she looked relaxed and at ease.
At that moment, Huo Tian also heard the sound of an activated engine. She looked in the direction of the car and her eyes lit up the moment she saw the sports car. She jumped and waved at the sports car.
Si Huan wasn\'t a helpful person, but for some unexplainable reason, he stopped the car beside Huo Tian and asked, "What\'s the matter?"
Huo Tian bent over and gave Si Huan a big smile, not realizing that her bright smile looked so ridiculous on her colorful face.
"Sir, you\'re going down the mountain too, right? Can you give me a ride?"
Si Huan\'s gaze swept across her dirty face and her weird attire. Finally, he nodded and said, "Sure, get in the car."
Huo Tian quickly got into the sports car and exaggeratedly praised, "Wow, Sir, you\'re the most helpful person I\'ve ever met!"
Si Huan sneered. He didn\'t want to respond to such a simple and straightforward compliment that didn\'t have any sincerity at all.
Huo Tian did not seem to mind if she received a response either. She leaned against the car window and stared at the scenery outside. After a while, she hummed a tune that Si Huan had never heard before. This melody was a little strange but strangely harmonious.
"What song are you humming?"
"Oh? This? It\'s a robot liberation song." Huo Tian recalled her life as a scientist and said emotionally, "This is a forbidden song. I only heard it by chance once."
Si Huan had never heard of this name before. He thought Huo Tian was spouting nonsense.
He did not know that if he continued to ask, he would hear the story of a robot developing a free will, pursuing liberation, and almost eventually almost subverting humanity.
