Chapter 386 Goodnight, Baby
386 Goodnight, Baby
A few minutes had passed since he knocked on the door. Xi Cheng finally revealed his intentions completely. “Actually, after I found out about the things that the Huo couple did to you, I didn’t intend to let them off. However, the Huo Family is a great family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Although there have been signs of decline over the years, there are many people from the Huo Family and their businesses are all over the place. Even I can’t eliminate the Huo Family completely in a short time.”
Huo Tian did not look shocked at all when her biological father said that he wanted to eliminate her adoptive parents’ family business at its roots. Clearly, in her perspectives and values, she could accept this style of easily making people she disliked go bankrupt.
Of course, Huo Tian did not fully support Xi Cheng’s decision. For example, at this moment, she had some objections. “Dad, it’s true that I hate that couple from the Huo Family, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with targeting the businesses they care about the most. However, the other members of the Huo Family have never done anything to let me down. There’s no need for them to be implicated by that couple, right?”
From these words, Xi Cheng gained a deeper understanding of Huo Tian. This daughter of his was not foolishly kind, but her personality was not cruel either. She was clear about her grudges and would never implicate the innocent.
Fortunately, Xi Chengxin had come to ask for his daughter’s opinion before he went ahead with his operation. Those subordinates were all smart people and were too good at catering to their boss’s personality. The plan to take revenge on the Huo Family was very thorough, be it big or small. In order to prevent any future worries, they even included a few of the Huo Family’s branch families as targets for revenge. If they acted according to the plan that those fools had formulated, although they could eliminate the entire Huo Family completely later, it would definitely make Huo Tian dissatisfied with her father.
Xi Cheng secretly felt glad about his decision, but on the surface, he acted as if he had never had the cruel thought of uprooting the entire Huo Family. He pretended to be worried and sighed. “Yeah, I don’t think there’s a need to expand the scope of revenge to everyone in the Huo Family, but those foolish subordinates of mine said that the Huo Family’s branch families are too deeply involved with each other. They couldn’t be bothered to formulate a detailed plan, so they just included all the Huo Family’s members into the plan.”
Huo Tian did not doubt her father at all. She naturally went along with what Xi Cheng said and blamed everything on those ‘foolish subordinates’.
She pursed her lips in disdain. “Dad, you have to take charge of your subordinates well. This is a law-abiding society where everyone is equal. No matter how rich one is, they can’t be above the law. So, tell them to stop acting like bandits.”
“Okay, okay, okay, I’ll teach them well. Those guys really need to change their way of doing things. Being too overbearing and domineering is not good for us to expand the market in China.”
Xi Cheng agreed unconditionally to everything his daughter said. He smiled and patted Huo Tian’s head. “Dad knows what you’re thinking. Regarding the Huo Family, I’ll consider it carefully. If I’m planning to lay my hands on them, I’ll tell you in advance.”
Huo Tian liked the feeling of being respected by adults and nodded readily. “Okay.”
Since Xi Cheng already knew what Huo Tian was thinking, he did not intend to stay in her room for too long. After all, she was already 19 years old and was an adult woman. Even as a father, he had to pay attention to keeping his distance from his daughter.
After sending Xi Cheng to the door, Huo Tian waved at him and said, “Dad, goodnight.”
Xi Cheng smiled very gently. “Goodnight, baby.”
This was the first time Xi Cheng had called Huo Tian in such a mushy manner. Huo Tian was a little stunned for a moment. She was not a pretentious person, but at this moment, she felt that this nickname seemed to be quite pleasant to the ears.
She looked at Xi Cheng, whose gaze was as gentle as the stars, and seemed to see some regret and sadness in it. Before she could figure out why he was looking at her with such a complicated expression, Huo Tian’s body reacted first and she reached out to hug the tall man…
