Chapter 148: Fate’s Inertia
These people were taking advantage of the break between classes to exchange information about the recent gossip in the small forest beside the field. This place had a wide field of vision, and as long as someone approached, they would be immediately discovered. This would avoid any cases of eavesdroppers.
However, there were always exceptions…
Huo You left the classroom before the class ended.
She had come to the forest only to find a secluded place. She wanted to call He Yu and ask him what had happened over the past few days.
He Yu’s phone was still switched off. Huo You wanted to contact his family, friends, or employees.
However, it was only at this moment did Huo You realized that she had somehow been excluded by He Yu out from his work and personal life, regardless if it was consciously or unconsciously done. She only remembered that He Yu had a very important male assistant, but Huo You didn’t know his number. She couldn’t find him even if she wanted to.
This made Huo You furious. She got angry silently for a while. Just as she was about to leave, Huo You realized that a few people were sitting in the forest on the side near to the sports field, gathered together and gossiping.
Huo You continued to listen to what they were saying and realized that the gossip was still about Huo Tian and herself. Huo You then dismissed the thought of leaving and listened quietly.
At first, these people were talking about Huo Tian and Si Huan. Although Huo You was very unhappy about this, she didn’t let her emotions get out of control. However, as their conversation deepened, Huo You clenched her fists tightly, her delicate nails dug into her palms, but she didn’t feel any pain.
“Why? Those people clearly acted as if they don’t care about Huo Tian, but behind her back, they actually say that Huo Tian has a more refined disposition than me?”
After the group of gossiping students left, Huo You remained rooted to the ground. She gritted her teeth as if questioning herself and also questioning her fate.
“God, why must you let Huo Tian live a better life than me?”
Huo You couldn’t understand why Huo Tian would appear in this world.
In her previous life, both of them had stayed in the Huo Family. Her relationship with the Huo Family couldn’t compare to Huo Tian, her husband couldn’t compare to Huo Tian, and her entire life was suppressed by Huo Tian…
However, after her rebirth, she had chased Huo Tian back to the poor Ding Family. Despite this, why was she still shrouded in the shadow called Huo Tian?
Huo You didn’t even have the energy to be angry. No matter how hard she tried, Huo Tian would appear in front of her time and time again. Was she really going to let Huo Tian regain everything that should have belonged to her?
Huo You looked up at the gloomy sky and muttered, “Does fate really have inertia? Am I destined to be inferior to Huo Tian? Then what am I putting in all this effort for…” Huo You raised her head and looked at the gloomy sky, mumbling to herself.
Huo You immediately denied this depressing thought the moment it popped up. She felt a sense of panic and horror of having to go through the same fate as her previous life, but more than that, she was determined to win against Huo Tian.
However, He Yu, whom Huo You had formed an alliance with to deal with Huo Tian and Si Huan, had disappeared after attending the Si Family’s banquet. No one knew where he had gone until now.
Huo You thought about it and an unbelievable thought which made sense popped up in her mind.
Huo You knew that He Yu had gone to put pressure on Si Huan back then. He wanted to collaborate with the other Si Family’s members to chase Si Huan out of the new energy project. And up to today, the Si Family still seemed to be in a quiet state.
The new energy project that Si Huan supported was still progressing normally. She hadn’t heard that there were any accidents with it and the Si Family’s members were also behaving no differently from usual.
However, it was this abnormal calmness that caused Huo You to find it suspicious…
In her previous life, Si Huan and He Yu had been rivals. It was until a few years before Huo You passed away did the Si Family’s business scale surpass that of the Hein Corporation.
After her rebirth, Huo You had interacted with He Yu and gradually understood him. Huo You knew that He Yu was someone who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. If that was the case, would Si Huan, who could only faintly win against He Yu in her previous life, be a pure and harmless pushover?
Thinking back to the time at the banquet when the Si Family’s members disappeared, a bad feeling rose in Huo You’s heart. As time passed, this thought became more and more rooted in Huo You’s heart.
After another few days, Huo You finally couldn’t take it anymore and decided to ask Huo Tian.
Huo You had always been paying close attention to Huo Tian. She knew that Huo Tian had a laboratory at school.
Although the laboratory was the school’s property, all the school’s management and teachers came to a silent consensus that it belonged to Huo Tian. Huo You knew that she would definitely be able to find her there.
However, when Huo You arrived at the laboratory, she only saw Bi Ying there…
Bi Ying was wearing a white coat and a pair of glasses. He walked over and opened the door freely without any sign of being disabled.
Huo You looked at the increasingly mature Bi Ying and some scenes in which she had overlooked suddenly flashed past in her mind.
She suddenly recalled that she actually knew Bi Ying.
