Fake Rich Daughter Is A Scientist From The Future

Chapter 136: Flirting

Si Huan knew since the past that most of the Si Family's members were extremely ambitious, but they didn't have matching abilities and could only act as bloodsuckers, relying on his grandfather and father.

Their insatiable greed was annoying, but his grandfather and father valued kinship too much and had raised these vermins' appetites. Si Huan didn't want to argue with these fools in the past, but now, he was finding it harder and harder to tolerate them.

"If you guys like to play scheming, you can invest in some television dramas like Empresses in the Palace[1]. But please don't use these tricks on businesses, it will make you guys look very petty."

Among the group of Si Family members, a few of them exchanged glances with each other. Everyone's expressions became very strange.

Huo Tian wasn't good at observing people's expressions, but at this moment, her mind suddenly cleared up. "Maybe they're not trying to stop you from investing in the new energy project but are trying to take it for themselves."

Si Huan was a little surprised at first, but when his gaze swept across the Si Family's expressions, he realized that there was a mix of guilt and unnaturalness. More importantly, there was the surprise of their plan being suddenly exposed. Si Huan knew that Huo Tian's guess of their intentions was right.

"So that's how it is." Si Huan's chilliness intensified and the sneer on his lips deepened. He clapped lightly and said in a sarcastic tone, "I thought you guys were useless fools, but I didn't expect you to have some redeeming qualities."

He ignored the angry gazes of most people and continued, "New energy is a project that I've been preparing for a long time, but now, you guys want to come and reap the harvest? Although I don't know who gave you the confidence to do this, I'm really amazed by your ambitions."

Si Lian was already furious at Si Huan for his disrespect towards his father. Now, he couldn't control his temper any longer. He stood up and strode towards Si Huan. "Si Huan, you brat! Even when your father and grandfather were still alive, they had to welcome us with smiles. Who the hell are you to dare treat us like this?!"

He shouted angrily while reaching out to grab Si Huan's collar, looking like he wanted to teach Si Huan a lesson.

However, before Si Lian's hand could reach Si Huan, it was grabbed by a fair and soft hand. The hand was clearly like an exquisite piece of art, but it had an unshakable force. Si Lian tried to struggle with all his might, but his wrist remained in midair without any movement.

"You... Let go of me!" The muscles on Si Lian's face trembled slightly. It looked like he had used all his strength.

Some other members of the Si Family didn't understand Si Lian's feelings at this moment. They only thought that he realized that his actions had been too impulsive, so they persuaded, "Si Lian, you're an uncle. How can you raise your hand against your nephew?"

They then turned around to put in a good word in front of Si Huan. "Si Huan, your Uncle Si Lian has always had a bad temper. It's also because you spoke badly of his father just now. Why don't you apologize? After all, you were the one who did wrong."

"You want me to apologize? Are they worthy of that?" Si Huan looked up and his gaze landed on the person who spoke indifferently. "Also, if I remember correctly, as an illegitimate child whose name isn't even on the genealogical record, what right do you have to pass off as an elder in front of me?"

The man's face flickered between red and pale upon hearing this, but he didn't dare say anything else and returned to his seat in a dejected manner.

Huo Tian was still firmly holding Si Lian's hand. She did not take this person's strength seriously and did not feel tired. However, Si Lian kept staring at her in anger. This made Huo Tian feel a little awkward.
