Fake Rich Daughter Is A Scientist From The Future

Chapter 71: Something Happened to Ding Rong

The expressions on Ding Chen’s face were so vivid that even Huo Tian, who was usually bad at judging people’s expressions, could not help but stare at him strangely for a long time.

Ding Chen felt a little strange under Huo Tian’s probing gaze. He could not help but ask, “Tiantian, why are you looking at Uncle like that?”

Huo Tian did not know the art of tactful speech at all. She said with a smile, “Uncle, I’m just looking at your expression which seems to say that you’re swallowing humiliation and bearing a heavy burden. It feels so funny.”

Ding Chen’s expression became extremely stiff in an instant. After a while, he gritted his teeth and hit Huo Tian on the head once. “You silly girl. You’re really a heartless one. Isn’t Uncle doing this for you?”

“What do you mean for me?”

Huo Tian could tell from Ding Chen’s movements that he did not use much force when hitting her, so she could not be bothered to dodge. She let Ding Chen’s slap land on her back and continued to look at him in confusion.

Si Huan and Bi Ying, who were watching their conversation, couldn’t help but turn their eyes away and not look at this uncle who had thought too much into things and the niece who didn’t understand anything.

In the end, it was only when Si Huan saw that Ding Chen seemed to have calmed down that he explained, “I was just encouraging Huo Tian to use her skills and knowledge to work hard to change the world. Even if I have feelings for Huo Tian, it’s just the admiration and respect a fan has for his idol. Uncle, you’ve misunderstood.”

Looking at Si Huan’s serious expression as he explained, Ding Chen also realized that he had been too paranoid. No matter if Si Huan had feelings for his niece or not, just by looking at Huo Tian’s ignorant expression, he knew that she had yet to develop feelings of love for the opposite sex.

However, Ding Chen did not want to admit that this farce had been caused by his misunderstanding. After all, he had to save his pride in front of the company’s employees.

Hence, he said awkwardly, “It’s all your fault. Don’t you know that people of the opposite sex should avoid physical contact? Why did you get so close to our Tiantian? Moreover, who allowed you to call me uncle?”

Si Huan gave Ding Chen a way out of the awkward situation at the right time. He shrugged and said, “Alright, it’s all my fault for not abiding by men’s morals. I got emotional and had physical contact with Huo Tian.”

Not far away, there were a few stifled laughs coming from the employees’ resting area who had been sneaking looks

Ding Chen could not help but laugh and scolded him, “You look like a serious guy, but I didn’t expect that you can joke around too. All that talk about men’s morals…”

The office atmosphere on this floor was finally relaxed and happy.

Just as everyone was talking and laughing, an extremely familiar sharp sound suddenly rang out from Huo Tian’s pocket.

The employees, who had relaxed and were snacking, were given a shock. They thought that Ding Chen’s alarm had rung again and rushed out of the resting area. However, they didn’t see a second group of troublemakers.

The thing that rang was not the watch in Ding Chen’s hand, but Huo Tian’s phone.

Huo Tian only took one look at her phone screen and her face turned ghastly pale.

Bi Ying and Si Huan both had solemn expressions.

Si Huan immediately reacted to the situation. “I’ll inform the bodyguards at home right now and get them to drive over directly to pick us up and bring us to the Ding Family’s house.”

Bi Ying nodded. “I had asked for the number for the neighbor, Auntie Liu, before. I’ll call her to ask what’s going on.”

Ding Chen, who was at the side, was at a loss. He looked at the pale Huo Tian, then at the solemn Bi Ying and Si Huan. He was influenced by their emotions and could not help but feel nervous.

“What exactly happened? Tiantian, why did an alarm suddenly ring from your phone? What has this got to do with your mother?”

Huo Tian gripped her phone tightly and her eyelids drooped slightly. She explained in a soft voice, “My phone is only connected to yours and Mom’s alarm devices. This means that the alarm on Mom’s end has been activated. Moreover, the dot that represents Mom is a dark red color. This means that Mom is going through a very dangerous situation…”

Ding Chen became nervous too, his face was as pale as Huo Tian’s, and his limbs started to turn weak. He could not make a complete sentence.

“Tiantian, your mother is at home alone now. We aren’t with her. What should we do…”

Huo Tian did not know what to do now. There were no flying devices in this world that were fast and convenient as the ones from hundreds of years later. She could not rush to Ding Rong’s side in time.

The only way to rush to Ding Rong’s side quickly now was to get Si Huan’s chauffeur to send them back.

Just as the few of them were anxiously waiting for the car to arrive, Huo Tian’s phone rang again. This time, it was a normal ringtone. Huo Tian looked at the caller ID on her phone screen. The words “Mom” were clearly written on it. Her expression appeared even more solemn than before.

Huo Tian didn’t say anything after picking up the call. She waited for the other party to speak first.

A few muffled groans from a woman came from the other end of the line. Ding Chen heard it as the loudspeaker was on. It was his sister, Ding Rong’s voice. His limbs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. It was Bi Ying, who was beside him, who quickly supported him.
