Chapter 129: Identity Recognition
Mr. and Mrs. Huo both avoided Si Huan and Huo Tian, afraid that these two rude juniors would embarrass them in front of everyone. đ»đâŻđŠđžđđđđđżđŠđ.đđđ¶
However, Huo Feng could not care so much. Usually, he had to go to school and he did not have any chances to go out by himself on the weekends either. There were countless times in which he wanted to go and look for Huo Feng but failed. At the banquet, however, Mr. Huo could no longer control Huo Fengâs movements.
Huo Tian was chatting with Si Huan and Zhao Feng when she suddenly heard a familiar voice. âSister.â
Huo Tian turned around and saw a thin but tall youth standing two steps away, looking at her uneasily.
Perhaps because the original Huo Tianâs feelings for her brother were too deep, she subconsciously gave him a big smile. âBrother! Youâre here too?â
Huo Feng heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that Huo Tian didnât seem to show any signs of dislike or rejection toward him when she looked at him.
He came over directly and reached out to hug Huo Tian. He wanted to lean in her embrace like he did when they were young, but after Huo Feng hugged Huo Tian, his movements froze and he let go awkwardly.
âIâm sorry, Sister. I forgot that Iâm already so tall. I thought that I would still be able to be hugged by you easily like when I was young.â
Huo Tian was originally shocked by his action, but after hearing what he said, the rejection she felt from being suddenly approached immediately dissipated.
The memories related to Huo Feng rushed out of the mind belonging to the original owner of this body. Huo Tian did not need any time to get used to it and easily accepted her brotherâs closeness.
She tiptoed slightly and patted his head gently just like how Huo Tian had done to Huo Feng when he was young. âBrother is very good. You donât have to apologize.â
Huo Feng obediently bent his knees a little so that Huo Tian could reach his head, looking like a little puppy.
Zhao Feng saw the cheerful and harmonious relationship between the siblings and couldnât help but shake his head. He whispered into Si Huanâs ear, âAh Huan, you have to be careful of Huo Feng. I vaguely heard that heâs a ruthless guy. I didnât expect him to be so good at pretending in front of Huo Tian. Moreover, Huo Tian likes this too. The situation is very disadvantageous for youâŠâ
Si Huan took a sip of water and suppressed the mild displeasure in his heart. His calm expression did not reveal any emotions.
He glanced at Huo Feng, who was smiling extremely brightly in front of Huo Tian and said indifferently, âHeâs still a child. Why should I be careful of him?â
âYou canât say that.â Zhao Feng was anxious for his friend. âThe children these days are all very shrewd. How can you let your guard down? Look at him. Does he look like an innocent and naive child?â
âNo matter how shrewd he is, when he uses his younger brotherâs identity to get close to Huo Tian, he has lost any chances of advancing any further.â
Si Huan smiled and said, âTiantian doesnât like a disorderly life. She puts a label on every person who appears around her. She will always see Huo Feng as her younger brother. No matter what Huo Feng does, Tiantian will not change her recognition toward his identity.â
Zhao Feng thought about it for a while before he understood what Si Huanâs words meant.
He looked a little conflicted. âYou mean that Huo Tian has defined the people around her clearlyâfamily, friends, teachers, classmates, passersby⊠just like how people distinguish their friends list into groups?â
Si Huan nodded and looked at Zhao Feng pitifully. âTiantian must have categorized you into a passerby group previously, thatâs why she doesnât remember you.â
Zhao Fengâs expression changed several times. He wanted to be angry, but he didnât dare to show it in front of Si Huan. He could only vent his dissatisfaction on his good friend. âIf Iâm a passerby, then which group are you assigned to? Friends? Doesnât that mean youâll be treated as a good friend for the rest of your life?â
ââŠâ Si Huan couldnât be bothered with this âpasserbyâ who had lost his cool and was attacking indiscriminately.
However, Zhao Feng thought that he had poked Si Huanâs sore spot. He felt that Si Huanâs treatment in Huo Tianâs heart was not much better than his own. Only then did he feel a little better.
The two siblings seemed to have endless things to say. Zhao Feng found it boring, so started to talk about other stuff with Si Huan.
âHe Yu isnât here yet. I donât know if he doesnât want to attend the Si Familyâs banquet or if he has other plans. Recently, the Hein Corporation seems to have been up to a lot of tricks. I vaguely heard that he wants to explore development into new energyâŠâ
Zhao Feng frowned as he spoke. âI keep feeling that this new energy project is targeted toward your Si Family. If the new energy development is capable of providing energy on a large scale, will your familyâs energy business be impacted?â
âThe future will be dominated by new energy. If the Si Family doesnât want to be abandoned by the waves of the era, they have to start looking into transforming their businesses. Hein Corporation has always wanted to enter the energy industry and they are considered smart if they can think of starting with new energy and finding another route in an attempt to overtake the Si Family.
Zhao Feng had to give in to his friend who could remain calm no matter what happened. He was about to continue nagging when he saw a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall. Then, he saw the person they were talking about entering.
