Huo Yao received Uncle Changfeng's call after she left Luo Qi's place.
Before long, she changed her route and returned to the Huo residence.
When she arrived at the entrance of the manor, she happened to bump into a sports car that was speeding out.
The cool sports car seemed to be dragging a brilliant yellow shadow under the sun. The rumbling sound of the engine almost pierced the sky. It was very eye-catching.
When Huo Yao's car met hers, the man in sunglasses in the sports car tilted his head slightly.
Huo Yao was still playing with her phone when she sensed a sharp gaze on her. She raised her eyelids and looked up casually.
Their eyes met from afar, but sparks seemed to fly.
Before long, the two cars passed by each other.
Huo Yao rested her hand on her chest and gently stroked her chin. She wondered if the man's gaze was full of provocation.
"Who's your opponent?" asked Min Yu calmly.
Huo Yao turned to look at him innocently. "I'm such a friendly person."
"Heh." Min Yu chuckled.
Huo Yao: "?"
In less than two minutes, the car stopped at the entrance of the villa.
Min Yu had some matters to attend to, so he left after dropping Huo Yao off.
Huo Changfeng and Huo Yulin were talking when they entered the house. They stopped when they saw Huo Yao.
"Uncle, Brother Yulin." Huo Yao nodded.
"How's Luo Qi doing?" asked Huo Changfeng as he got up to pour her a cup of tea.
Huo Yao sat down on the couch. "It's not a big problem."
Huo Changfeng was aware of Huo Yao's medical skills, so he was a little surprised to hear this. "Rumor has it that Luo Qi won't live past 25. Looks like it's fake."
Huo Yao took the cup and took a sip of tea. She shook her head slightly. "Not really. If I hadn't met him, his body would probably be at this limit."
After all, there was a huge difference in treatment between a naturally born weak body and an acquired one.
Huo Changfeng instantly understood what Huo Yao meant. "There are all kinds of open and secret fights among the royal family."
Huo Yao was not interested in the royal family's internal strife, so she did not dwell on it. Instead, she looked at Huo Changfeng. "Uncle, did you want to talk to me over the phone?"
"Uh huh," acknowledged Huo Changfeng. He took out the assessment criteria and handed it to Huo Yao.
Huo Yao's eyes landed on the document. She paused for a second before she took it. She quickly skimmed through the contents and raised her head again. "The successor assessment?"
"Yes." Huo Changfeng nodded. He looked at Huo Yulin and said, "You and your third brother are both candidates."
Huo Yao lowered her head and looked at the name list in her hand. It was obvious that the names had been handwritten at the end. She fell silent.
It was one thing to force the Huo family's businesses into her hands, but now he wanted her name to be the successor of the Huo family?
Was her uncle afraid that she wouldn't have a good life?
Huo Yao pressed her forehead. She suddenly recalled the person she had met at the entrance of the manor. She finally understood why the person had looked at her so provocatively.
"Uncle, I think you can cross my name off the list," said Huo Yao helplessly.
"This is the list that everyone discussed and decided on. Uncle doesn't have the final say." Huo Changfeng's eyes flickered slightly as he expressed his helplessness.
Huo Yulin: "…"
Huo Yao sure knew how to lie with a straight face.
Huo Changfeng sighed before he continued. "But Yaoyao, do you want to see the empire that your uncle worked so hard to build be given to someone else?"
