Chapter 139: Villains Die From Talking Too Much
In her previous life, society gradually recovered from the trauma of the smart robots’ uprising. After showing signs of flourishing, people started to restore the humanities and arts from before the new era. Many television dramas that had existed many years ago were restored and then broadcasted. Huo Tian had watched some of them as well.
At that time, Huo Tian wanted to complain why those villains in television dramas always liked to proudly reveal their evil plans at the last moment. Moreover, these few minutes would usually turn into a critical moment for the protagonist to reverse the situation in just a few minutes.
Although He Yu couldn’t be compared to those ultimate villains in television dramas who could do anything they wanted, he had the bad habits of a villain even though he wasn’t really one. It was as if he would feel uncomfortable if he didn’t reveal all the bad things that he had done.
The fact that Huo Tian was lost in her thoughts was too obvious, so much so that He Yu couldn’t ignore her existence.
“Miss Huo?” He Yu’s gaze swept past Huo Tian’s face with a smokey makeup look and her voluptuous chest. He then revealed an uninterested expression and his tone was filled with arrogance.
“You don’t seem to be worried for Si Huan. It seems like your relationship with Si Huan isn’t that deep either. It’s such a waste that Si Huan had put in so much for you.”
Huo Tian’s thoughts were pulled back from the television drama plots from her previous life. She did not follow He Yu’s train of thought and looked at Si Huan in confusion. “What did he say just now? Was he trying to drive a wedge between us?”
“You guessed it right. He’s indeed trying to drive a wedge between us.” Si Huan chuckled and his gentle gaze landed on Huo Tian. “Were you distracted just now? What were you thinking about?”
Huo Tian had never hidden her emotions in front of Si Huan and she replied straightforwardly, “I’m thinking of the saying that ‘villains die from talking too much’. I think this sentence suits the scene from earlier.”
The smile on Si Huan’s face became even more pronounced. He knew that Huo Tian wasn’t someone who was good at deliberately making people upset. It was precisely because of this that her words seemed to be more lethal. It caused He Yu’s smug expression to freeze on his face.
He Yu hadn’t thought much of Huo Tian at first. He felt that she was just a slightly smart girl. Even if her intelligence could let her be called a genius, there were many young geniuses in the world. After they grew up, most geniuses would eventually fade into the crowd. How could Huo Tian have that one in ten thousand chance of becoming a genius?
If it wasn’t for the fact that Huo You regarded Huo Tian as her lifelong enemy, He Yu wouldn’t have remembered the name of a girl coming from an ordinary family. However, Huo Tian had successfully gotten He Yu to divert some of his attention to her.
He Yu sized Huo Tian up from head to toe again before his clammy gaze landed on her beautiful face. A malicious smile appeared on his lips.
“Miss Huo Tian, I just realized today that other than that slightly smart brain of yours, you actually have a pretty good face. It’s no wonder Si Huan could draw the available cash from the company without hesitation despite them having a tight funding situation. You can be considered a femme fatale.”
Si Huan had been indifferent towards He Yu’s provocation previously, but now, he suddenly became unyielding. He placed his hand in front of Huo Tian and blocked He Yu’s disrespectful gaze.
His expression and tone were filled with a strong warning. “He Yu, mind your eyes.”
He Yu’s interest in Huo Tian was limited. Compared to a young girl in his eyes, this Si Huan, who had suddenly changed his attitude, clearly excited him more.
He leaned forward with interest and almost wanted to put his face close to Si Huan’s. “Si Huan, I thought you didn’t have feelings of anxiety. It seems that I just hadn’t touched your reverse scale. Ah, right, I knew long ago that Huo Tian was your weakness. To think that I didn’t think of using this to force you to be angry just now.”
He shook his head regretfully. “Tsk, what a miscalculation. I clearly know that in your heart, the entire Si Corporation can’t compare to a little girl who hasn’t fully developed yet, but I actually used the company to agitate you…”
Huo Tian pulled away from Si Huan’s hand, which was in front of her, and realized that He Yu was looking at her with interest again. However, his gaze this time didn’t seem disgusting or clammy. Instead, there was a malicious intent coming from him.
“Miss Huo Tian, I didn’t want to be so cruel, but who asked you to be so important to Si Huan?” He Yu smiled evilly like an ugly demon.
“You probably want to know why your biological mother from the slums was kidnapped, right? Let me help you unravel this mystery…”
Huo Tian and Si Huan’s expressions turned cold at the same time. Si Huan understood He Yu’s underhanded methods better than Huo Tian. When he heard this, he immediately knew that He Yu was definitely involved in the kidnapping case. He subconsciously wanted to stop He Yu from continuing.
However, He Yu didn’t give Si Huan a chance to do so. He spread his arms smugly to reveal the riddle and also to start the prelude to the miserable latter half of his life…
