Huo Wanying stood up. "Uncle Huo, you can go first. I'll be right there after I get changed."
Huo Qing nodded his head in agreement and quickly walked out.
Huo Wanying's mother came out the moment he left.
Merris was an elegant Western woman. She had overheard the conversation between her daughter and Huo Qing.
She glanced at Huo Wanying and said, "Although I haven't met Master Feng's niece, Third Master is right. Given your contributions to the Huo family, no one else can be the daughter of the Huo family."
Huo Wanying turned to look at her mother. "Mom, don't say things like that."
Merris, on the other hand, was a little disappointed. "When you risked your life with Master Feng, where was his niece? What right does she have to be the daughter of the Huo family? How can she compare to you? "
Huo Wanying massaged her temples. She really didn't want to listen to her mother's nagging. "Alright, Mom. I know what I'm doing. I'm going to get changed."
After saying that, she went upstairs on her own.
"You..." Merris looked at her daughter's back and shouted at her. "You're stupid!"
Huo Wanying didn't stop when she heard her mother's words.
She went back to her room and closed the door. She stood there quietly for a moment before she took out her phone from her coat and searched for the number she had just dialed.
She sent a message.
[So cowardly?]

On the other side, Xie was pacing back and forth at the door with a grave expression.
He only stopped when he saw Huo Yulin's car.
"Young Master Lin."
Huo Yulin got out of the car with his usual cold expression. He nodded at Xie and said, "You're all here?"
"The five elders, three wardens, and the branch manager are all here." Xie pointed to the villa next door. "They're all waiting in the conference room."
Huo Yulin narrowed his eyes. "Why are they so impatient?"
"They've been secretly stirring up trouble ever since Master Feng got into trouble." Xie's eyes were cold. "Think about who made the Huo family what it is today!"
"Is Yaoyao here?" Huo Yulin suddenly asked.
"Eldest Miss hasn't returned yet."
Huo Yulin grunted in acknowledgment. As he walked towards the meeting hall in the villa next door, he said, "You don't have to let her know about these family matters. It'll only make things worse."
Little Xie caught up with Huo Yulin. He understood what he meant and nodded in agreement.
It was indeed frustrating.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the meeting hall.
In front of the long table, except for the empty main seat, all the other seats were already in place.
Huo Yulin glanced at the dozen or so people seated before he sat down on the first seat on the right side of the main seat.
Little Xie also stood behind him.
Opposite him was Huo Wanying. However, Huo Wanying wasn't sitting first, but third.
Huo Wanying casually rested her hands on the table, her eyelashes lowered, as if she didn't exist.
But as the only female member of the family who was qualified to participate in the meeting, how could her presence be weak?
The one presiding over the meeting was the Great Elder.
After exchanging glances with the other elders, he stood up and said, "Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting..."
The Great Elder unhurriedly mentioned a few insignificant family matters before his tone changed. "Apart from these, there's something else that concerns the Huo family's future development."
Huo Yulin raised his brows.
The old man finally got to the point.
