Chapter 201 - They Are Indeed Cold
Mr. Huo took the doc.u.ments and looked at them. He was not as emotional as Madam Huo, but he was still extremely angry.
"Jinyuan, call the police. Jinqi, get someone to write a statement. From now on, Huo Chulan is no longer a member of the Huo family."
The matter of switching lives was almost over. Even if Xing Jiuan did not return, Huo Chulan could no longer stay here.
They had already given Huo Chulan enough things. They had given her a car, a house, and money.
If not for what happened yesterday, even after they bid Huo Chulan return to her own home in the future, they would still have given her some things every year.
They were grateful that Xing Jiuan"s life had been exchanged for hers.
However, this did not mean that they could be treated like fools.
It was such an obvious matter. Initially, they were only suspicious of Huo Chulan. However, not only did she not reply, but she also did not come back. Wasn"t this a confirmation, then?
They were indeed cold.
Even after raising Huo Chulan for more than ten years, they still did not treat her as their biological daughter or sister.
However, other than that, they had given her almost everything else.
Although their daughter"s disappearance had been blamed on Huo Chulan"s parents, she had never suffered as a result.
Furthermore, after she revealed her ident.i.ty as a member of the Huo family, she had also taken on the ident.i.ty of the daughter of the Huo family.
She had not lacked parental love, and they would often bring her home for a period of time.
They felt that they had done enough.
After all, Huo Chulan was not a member of the Huo family. If they gave Huo Chulan more benefits, what would happen when their daughter returned?
They could only dote on their child and their sister.
Back then, they had not gotten anyone to look out for Xing Jiuan, causing the child to go missing. They blamed Huo Chulan"s parents, but they blamed themselves even more.
Now that they knew that what happened back then was intentional, they would not let it go easily.
As for Huo Chulan, she could no longer stay with the Huo family.
They had treated her better because of the exchange of lives, but what happened yesterday had crossed the Huo family"s bottom line.
Even after raising her for more than ten years, she could be thrown away at will.
They were indeed cold to Huo Chulan.
However, this was something Huo Chulan should have known long ago.
They had never given Huo Chulan hope that she could stay with the Huo family forever.
Huo Jinyuan"s movements were very fast. Huo Chulan"s parents were quickly arrested.
Huo Jun, Madam Huo, and Huo Jinqi went over as well.
"What did my Huo family do to you that you would harm my child like that?" Madam Huo"s eyes were red as she spoke ruthlessly.
When she was young, she had been in the army and had even carried out special missions. When she displayed her ruthlessness, the two people opposite her trembled.
They looked extremely obedient. They were thin and weak, and their slightly trembling looks were pitiful.
However, no one felt pity for them.
They did not deserve to be pitied after doing such a cruel thing.
They also tried to refute it, but the evidence Huo Jinyuan had found pinned them down.
The two of them gave up resisting when they saw the doc.u.ments.
The two of them were timid and mediocre. Since they had done such an astonis.h.i.+ng thing, they naturally lived in fear and worry. If they were found out one day, with the Huo family"s power, they would definitely not have a good time.
However, there was also a hint of antic.i.p.ation.
"I… We were just confused.. We went back to look for her, but we couldn"t find her. Besides, isn"t she fine now?"
