Chapter 198: Speculation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Because Xi Cheng’s medical equipment company had placed a large number of orders and was very straightforward with the payment, their company had benefited a lot. To encourage the employees to work hard, they had also issued out the autumn dividends over the past few days and the employees had also received generous quarterly bonuses.

Of course, no matter how high the employees’ bonuses were, it was impossible for them to be higher than the three bosses and the two developers who held the company’s shares. Huo Tian’s dividends were enough to repay Si Huan’s loan and she could still keep a few million yuan.

Therefore, once the dividends arrived, Huo Tian returned the 20 million yuan she had borrowed from Si Huan to him. She had wanted to meet Si Huan today to retrieve the jade pendant, but she didn’t expect to suddenly get a job and had no choice but to arrange to meet at Xi Cheng’s house.

When Si Huan came to pick Huo Tian up, he probed, “Do you feel that there’s something wrong with Mr. Xi’s attitude towards you?”

Huo Tian flipped through her phone in boredom and said indifferently, “Uncle Xi likes me. I know.”

Si Huan looked at Huo Tian’s matter-of-fact attitude and shook his head speechlessly, thinking that he probably wouldn’t be able to get anything out of Huo Tian.

Xi Cheng had only vaguely sensed that Xi Cheng’s attitude towards Huo Tian was strange yesterday. After he returned home yesterday, Si Huan received a call from Xi Cheng, asking about Huo Tian over the phone. Although Xi Cheng had tried his best to act as if he had casually mentioned Huo Tian’s name, perhaps because Si Huan cared about Huo Tian, he sharply noticed that Xi Cheng’s attitude was a little unusual.

Last night, Si Huan didn’t reveal anything about Huo Tian to Xi Cheng. Even if Xi Cheng was an elder who took good care of him and could even bring him huge benefits, Si Huan didn’t intend to use Huo Tian’s private matters to get into Xi Cheng’s good books.

She did not expect that after brushing Xi Cheng off last night, Xi Cheng would actually invite Huo Tian home today. She did not know what his true motive was.

Of course, Si Huan did not think that Xi Cheng had taken a fancy to Huo Tian. When he looked at Huo Tian, instead of saying that he was looking at a woman who aroused him, it would be more accurate to say that he was looking at a junior he liked. To put it more accurately, when Xi Cheng looked at Huo Tian, it was as if he was looking at a daughter who made him extremely proud…

It couldn’t be…

At the thought of this, Si Huan suddenly felt enlightened. He froze because of this ridiculous but logical thought.

Si Huan’s expression was a little strange. He tried his best to remain calm and asked Huo Tian, “Has Mr. Xi been contacting you often recently?”

Huo Tian shook her head in confusion. “Uncle Xi didn’t contact me. The call I received today to inform me to go make adjustments for Uncle Xi was also by the company.”

Xi Cheng had Huo Tian’s contact number and they got along well. They would chat occasionally in private, but Xi Cheng insisted on informing Huo Tian to go to his house through the company. This was abnormal.

Si Huan suddenly felt that his guess made sense. At the same time, he felt that his guess was very ridiculous. In his dilemma, the car had already arrived at Xi Cheng’s villa.

The butler was exceptionally passionate towards Huo Tian today. He smiled brightly at her, the wrinkles on his face appearing. “Miss, welcome back. Have you had breakfast this morning? There’s food prepared at home. Would you like to have some food first?”

Si Huan looked at the overly enthusiastic butler silently and thought to himself that his guess was probably right.

However, Huo Tian didn’t feel that anything was wrong. She accepted other people’s kindness very well. “Alright, thank you, Butler Grandpa. I slept in this morning and didn’t eat well.”

Hence, the butler threw his master to the back of his mind. He paid no heed to his master, who had returned to his wheelchair today because the exoskeleton device needed adjustments, and focused on an outsider who was temporarily still “unrelated” to the Xi Family.

Si Huan sighed. This family was being too obvious. To think that Huo Tian didn’t feel that something wasn’t right with her muddled personality…

He said to the butler, who was focused on Huo Tian, “Where is Mr. Xi now? I’ll go greet him.”

The butler looked at Si Huan carefully and pointed to the study room..
