Fake Rich Daughter Is A Scientist From The Future

Chapter 104: 100 Thousand and 20 Million

Mr. Huo recalled the first time he met Ding Rong.

At that time, they had just found out that both families had brought back the wrong child. Mr. Huo wanted to get his assistant to settle the matter, but that woman insisted on meeting the couple.

They met in the Huo Group’s office. They were clearly in the Huo Family’s territory, but that woman was neither servile nor overbearing. It was as if in her eyes, she was equals with everyone else in the world.

Mr. Huo admitted that Ding Rong was beautiful and had a naturally gentle and moving disposition. Even a man like him, who never indulged in beauty and affected serious matters, had to take a few more glances.

However, what left the deepest impression on Mr. Huo was not Ding Rong’s appearance, but her stubborn personality. She was clearly poor and led a hard life, but when he mentioned giving the Ding Family a sum of money to thank them for raising Huo You, Ding Rong rejected him without hesitation just for her worthless self-esteem!

The Huo Tian in front of him reminded Mr. Huo of Ding Rong, whom he had met a few months ago. They did not have many similarities in looks, but their stubbornness was exactly the same.

Although Huo Tian and Ding Rong never said it out loud, their attitude toward the Huo Family was very clear. Even if you had money and power, you wouldn’t be able to buy everything you wanted!

Mr. Huo had never understood why he hated Ding Rong. Now that he saw Huo Tian, who looked almost exactly like Ding Rong, he finally understood where his disgust came from.

As a member of the Huo Family, the family background, wealth, and status that he was proud of—things that could allow him to appear very successful in front of everyone—were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Ding Family’s mother and daughter. How could Mr. Huo not be angry?

However, Mrs. Huo didn’t intend to give up just like that and continued to persuade Huo Tian to return to the Huo Family.

However, Mr. Huo knew that given Huo Tian’s personality, she would never agree to their proposal. He pulled Mrs. Huo back and interrupted her.

He then turned to Huo Tian with a cold expression and said, “It seems like you’ve already made up your mind to stay in such a poor and dilapidated family.”

Ding Chen sneered and said leisurely, “Isn’t it obvious? Tiantian will not leave with you guys no matter what.”

His casual interjection seemed to be very rude, but no one at the scene criticized his lack of etiquette. Huo Tian would not say anything bad about her uncle, while Mr. and Mrs. Huo did not want to waste their time on this coarse and rude guy at all.

Huo Tian looked at Ding Chen reassuringly, then said to Mr. and Mrs. Huo, “That’s right, I won’t return to the Huo Family with you. I’m very happy with the Ding Family, and I don’t think the Ding Family is very poor or dilapidated. Mom and Uncle have already given me the best life.”

Mrs. Huo’s expression turned completely bad. She couldn’t maintain the fake smile on her face anymore and her tone was filled with mockery. “Since you’re making the Ding Family sound so good you insist on staying in the Ding Family, we can’t force you either. However, I’d like to know if they can gather the amount to pay off your 20 million yuan debt?”

So many things had happened during this period of time that Huo Tian had forgotten about the 20 million yuan debt. Now that Mrs. Huo mentioned it, she suddenly remembered this matter. She was stunned for a long while before she suddenly realized something and said, “Oh right, I still owe you 20 million yuan. I’d always forgotten about it.”

Mrs. Huo let out a cold sneer. Her demeanor immediately became a little superior, and she said in a liberating tone, “Huo Tian, given the Ding Family’s family background, they probably won’t be able to earn 20 million yuan in their entire lifetime. I’ll give you one last chance. As long as you agree to come back with us to the Huo Family, this 20 million yuan debt will be written off…”

For a family like the Ding Family, 20 million yuan was an astronomical number. Mrs. Huo felt that under the pressure of such a huge debt, Huo Tian would definitely change her mind.

However, what took Mrs. Huo by surprise was that Huo Tian and Ding Chen did not care about her at all and let her speak freely at the side. The two of them had already gathered together and were discussing softly.

Huo Tian had no idea how much savings their family had. She asked Ding Chen softly, “Uncle, how much money do we have left?”

Although Ding Chen was not in charge of the family’s finances, he had a rough understanding of the family’s financial situation.

He gritted his teeth and whispered to Huo Tian with a bitter expression, “There’s probably about 100 thousand yuan left at home now. It’s all in your mother’s hands, but your mother has never been anxious about the 20 million yuan debt. I think she probably has other trump cards up her sleeves.”

No matter how bad Huo Tian was at everyday matters, she knew that the 100 thousand yuan in her family’s savings was just a drop in the ocean for a debt of 20 million yuan. Even if Ding Rong had other investments and finances, it was impossible for her to fill the hole of 20 million yuan.

Thinking of this, Huo Tian frowned. “I can’t put the pressure of this 20 million debt on Mom. This is too hard on her. Should I go find Si Huan and ask him to help me pay this money?”
