Chapter 394 The Other Andrew
394 The Other Andrew
Xi Cheng brought Huo Tian to the dining room to have their meal. He calmly responded to his daughter’s teasing and said without batting an eyelid, “Your mother is still resting. Let’s have breakfast first.”
At the breakfast table, Xi Cheng did not ask Huo Tian to abide by the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. He continued to talk about the topic Huo Tian had asked the butler.
When Xi Cheng talked about the education of the children from wealthy families, his tone and attitude were even more casual than the butler. “Those ordinary children from wealthy families need to use all sorts of social skills to add glory to themselves, but Tiantian, you don’t need it. Even if you don’t have a useful father like me as your background, you can rely on your own capabilities to convince everyone.”
“Dad, I think some of those aristocratic classes are considered interesting. I might try them out, but I won’t put all my energy into them. Therefore, you don’t have to worry that I’ll ask of myself to conform to the standards of a dignified young lady from influential families.”
Of course, Xi Cheng did not think that there was anything wrong with what Huo Tian said either. His daughter was so outstanding, so of course she had to be more casual about those dispensable elite education classes. What if his precious daughter was tired out?
Huo Tian added, “I don’t have any objections to the education methods of those aristocrats. I just feel that it’s a little wasteful for them to waste their time and energy on those flashy but useless matters despite having the best education conditions.”
“That’s true. Most of the children in those families have their lives planned out by their parents. Sometimes, they can’t do what they really like and are good at.”
Xi Cheng agreed with Huo Tian’s words and then thought of an exception. “Of course, there are also some more open-minded families who don’t mind the child’s little rebellion. Of course, it’s also because the child is outstanding enough that they can use their ability to prove that their choice isn’t an impulsive result.”
Of course, Huo Tian heard that Xi Cheng was referring to someone. Her father had high standards and would not easily give a youngster an “outstanding” evaluation.
She gave Xi Cheng a sideways glance and said meaningfully, “Dad, you can even be picky with Si Huan and Bi Ying, but you’re full of praise for someone. It seems like that unknown youngster is very pleasing to your eyes.”
Xi Cheng looked at Huo Tian helplessly and thought to himself that his daughter was indeed a slow and foolish child. Those two brats were interested in his precious daughter and even surrounded her every day. Which father would give such brats a good attitude?
Of course, he wouldn’t let Huo Tian know about what he was thinking. He pretended to be calm and said, “That child’s name is Andrew Cameron. His family has arranged a good future for him, but he suddenly became interested in the field of genes and brain nerves. In just three months, he became famous in the related fields. Dad is influenced by you and thus has a good impression of such a child.”
Moreover, what Xi Cheng did not say was that what he was most satisfied with Andrew was that he was a genius who was on par with Huo Tian, but he was not interested in her. Xi Cheng could use him to divert Huo Tian’s attention and let her stay away from Si Huan for the time being, lest his precious daughter was snatched away by the wolf, Si Huan, at such a young age!
“Wow, it seems like Mr. Cameron is indeed a genius.” Huo Tian knew nothing about Xi Cheng’s thoughts. She seemed to have thought of something and said nostalgically, “I know someone called Andrew in the past. He’s a super amazing guy.”
As far as Xi Cheng knew, Huo Tian did not have much contact with any foreigners. He could not help but be a little interested in the Andrew Huo Tian mentioned. However, in order not to let Huo Tian feel that he wanted to control her too much, Xi Cheng pretended to ask casually, “What aspects are that Andrew very good at?”
Huo Tian recalled the person she knew in her previous life and said emotionally, “He was a person with a strong desire to live. He never gave up hope to live even in the most despairing situations. Later on… he became absolutely rational. He looked cold, but he was actually very gentle. Occasionally, he would reveal an interesting side.”
As Huo Tian spoke, alarm bells rang in Xi Cheng’s heart!
