Chapter 342: Childish Temper

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Huo Tian was kindhearted by nature. After hearing Ding Rong’s description of Huo You’s current situation, all the anger in her heart dissipated in the end.

Huo Tian still didn’t like Huo You, but she felt that she shouldn’t be treated like this. It was too pitiful for a girl who had received modern education to not have freedom of marriage.
Huo Tian was feeling very conflicted and said reluctantly, “In that case, it’s alright for Mom to help her. I hope she can keep her promise and won’t use Mom’s name to do bad things.”

Xi Cheng sighed again. His wife and daughter were too kindhearted. They did not understand the complexities of human hearts. Huo You had made a promise to Ding Rong now and promised not to use her relationship with Ding Rong, her adoptive mother in the past, to obtain inappropriate benefits.
However, even though she might keep her promise in the short term, as time passed, who could say for sure?

Xi Cheng had known earlier than Huo Tian that Ding Rong was going to help Huo You put on an act. When he first heard about this, Xi Cheng did not agree with Ding Rong’s decision, but he did not interfere with it either.

It was because Xi Cheng knew that even if Ding Rong and Huo Tian’s kindness would lead to potential trouble for them in the future, it was not a big deal. They still had him behind them. Xi Cheng swore to himself that he would become their strongest backing and not let others use his wife and daughter’s
kindness to hurt them.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get someone to pay attention to the news on Huo You’s side. I guarantee that she won’t damage Rongrong’s reputation. If she falls into such a situation again, I’ll get someone to help her.”
Halfway through his words, Xi Cheng looked at Huo Tian mockingly. “Tiantian, I’ll get someone to take care of Huo You’s matters in the future. I won’t let her disturb your mother. You can completely relax now, right?”

Xi Cheng’s tone was too annoying as if he was coaxing an ignorant child. Huo Tian’s face turned red from his words.

Huo Tian rolled her eyes angrily and stood up to leave the small reception room. Her small leather shoes made a series of thuds as they stepped on the ground.

Ding Rong could not help but laugh when she heard these emotional footsteps. She looked at Xi Cheng reproachfully. “Tiantian has a childish temper. Why are you teasing her?”

“Don’t you think the way Tiantian looks when she is angry is very interesting?” Xi Cheng shrugged and sighed helplessly. “Moreover, this child has been spoiled by you. You’re so good to her, yet she still vented her negative emotions on you just now.”

Ding Rong did not think that this was anything worth discussing. On the contrary, she even revealed a sweet and satisfied smile. “It’s because children are all like this. They will subconsciously vent their negative emotions to the people closest to them. We are her parents. When she throws a tantrum, we
have to be more tolerant of her and also work hard to guide her emotions. During this process, I also enjoyed the satisfaction of a mother who is being relied on and trusted by a child. It’s the same for you too, right?”

“Of course, our precious daughter is cute even when she’s angry.” Xi Cheng smiled uncontrollably. “Moreover, even when Tiantian is angry, she’s not unreasonable. No matter how angry she is, she still asks for an explanation rationally.”
“Yeah, Tiantian has probably never lost her temper at her elders before…” Ding Rong’s expression gradually fell. She sighed sadly.

“Although Tiantian’s personality has become much livelier now, she’s still different from those children who had grown up under their parents’ tolerance and love. She doesn’t understand that if a child is angry at their parents, they can actually be unreasonable. On the contrary, if they try to reason with
their parents, it’s giving adults the right to lie, deceive, and patronize her.”

As she spoke, Ding Rong’s eyes were covered in a layer of sadness. Her voice was also a little choked up. “The thought of my obedient and sensible daughter growing up ina cold and scary family like the Huo Family makes me angry!”
Xi Cheng pulled Ding Rong into his arms and patted her back gently with his warm palm.

He wanted to comfort the sad and angry Ding Rong, but in fact, Xi Cheng’s love for Huo Tian was no less than Ding Rong’s. He was also filled with anger towards the Huo Family’s hypocritical and cold couple..
