Fake Rich Daughter Is A Scientist From The Future

Chapter 125: Si Yuan

His uncle was called Si Yuan. Although his seniority was higher than Si Huan’s, he was only four years older than him and hadn’t reached the level of cultivating a fox mask that could allow him to hide his emotions. Therefore, when he faced Si Huan, he could not help but expose the jealousy and hatred in his heart.

The Si Corporation was a financial group, and their most important businesses were the energy and shipping companies. These two pillar industries were both in Si Huan’s hands, and the other branches could only get a share of the profits by depending on them. In the beginning, the branch members naturally had to suck up to Si Huan’s family, but as time passed, those people were unsatisfied with just getting a tiny bit of the profits when Si Huan’s family was getting the bulk. They thus tried to find ways to get more benefits.

When Si Huan’s parents and grandfather were still alive, these people from branch families didn’t dare to go overboard. However, after Si Huan took over the corporation, many people from the branch families started to feel tempted.

When Si Huan’s grandfather had just passed away, they thought that Si Huan was young and thus easy to bully. Therefore, they were planning to target the energy and shipping companies. Unexpectedly, Si Huan, who was usually silent, turned out to be a wolf cub. He directly bankrupted a shipping equipment company that those two families relied on for a living.

The two families were burdened with a huge debt overnight. The head of one of the families was someone who usually acted too arrogantly. When he looked for help everywhere to no avail, he was forced to commit suicide by the debt collectors, leaving his son and wife behind. Si Huan hypocritically reached out to help and sent the child abroad. Although he claimed it was for the child to study overseas, Si Yuan and the other people in the family did not think that Si Huan was so kind. They all felt that this family must have been wiped out.

Ever since then, the members of the Si Family became very wary of Si Huan. Even if they had some ulterior motives, they didn’t dare to reveal them in front of Si Huan. Once they kept themselves in check, Si Huan stopped taking action against them. He ignored the Si Family’s huge family business and continued to return to school. As long as there weren’t any major matters, he wouldn’t easily go to the company.

Hence, the Si Family realized that without the old man from the Si Family, their lives became more prosperous. Some people who were more easily satisfied guarded their family’s assets obediently and relied on the Si Corporation to lead a prosperous life.

However, there were others who were more ambitious. For example, someone like Si Yuan could not stand Si Huan very much. Si Huan, being a young boy who stayed in school all year round, might have even forgotten which side the company’s door was facing. What right did he have to occupy the two most profitable businesses—energy and shipping—alone? Although this was the empire built by Si Huan’s great-grandfather, could Si Huan’s family have made the business flourish without the support of so many people from the Si Family?

Hence, once he had a hold on Si Huan, Si Yuan would become restless. He would feel uncomfortable if he did not step forward to provoke him.

He sized up Huo Tian’s face and body with his dirty gaze, then sneered in disdain. He leaned close to Si Huan’s ear and pretended to be close to him as he said, “Nephew, you’re still young, so you don’t know what kind of women are the most fun. The one you brought has a good face and quite a personality, but it’ll only be for a while. If you really want to play, she won’t be able to compare to someone in their twenties who’s more mature in their development…”

Si Yuan probably treated Huo Tian as the kind of girl who would lie down on a rich man’s lap and lead a good life. He had no qualms at all when he spoke.

The polite smile on Si Huan’s face had already disappeared, and his expression turned cold. He glanced at Si Yuan, who was still talking non-stop. Si Yuan met his gaze and unconsciously shuddered. He also swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

Probably feeling that his reaction was too embarrassing, Si Yuan flew into a rage out of humiliation and became even more reckless with his words. “Why are you looking at me like that? I didn’t say anything wrong. This girl is obviously not a decent person. Moreover, you even dared to be late for such an important event…”

Only then did Huo Tian finally understand that this man who kept saying strange things the moment they met was belittling her.

She tugged at Si Huan’s sleeve. “Si Huan?”

Si Huan raised his hand to signal. Immediately, a few security guards in black suits walked over, grabbed Si Yuan’s arm, and pulled him out the door.

He looked at Huo Tian. “Are you annoyed? I’ll get someone to take him away now.”

Si Yuan was unable to shake the power of the two security guards, but he did not dare to make a ruckus either. He wasn’t like Si Huan, who didn’t care to lose his reputation, to fall out with him on such an occasion.

There was a layer of redness on his face from suppressing his anger too much. He said angrily in a low voice, “Si Huan, you dare to treat me like this over a woman with nothing to her name?”

Si Huan’s eyes turned cold, but before he could say anything, Huo Tian interrupted him.

Huo Tian shook her head and said, “There’s no need to chase him away. There might be even more people looking down on me later. Are you going to chase those people away one by one?”

Si Huan glanced at Si Yuan, who was wearing a grim expression, and said in a low voice, “With this incident as an example, the others won’t be so tactless.”

Huo Tian had never seen Si Huan deliberately release his disposition before and actually found it .

Her eyes curved into crescents as she said, “There’s no need to. If you help me chase them away, they’ll only respect me on the surface on your account. I don’t know what they’ll say behind my back. So it’s better to let me do it.”
