Chapter 1793 Blabber Nonsense With A Straight Face
Huo Yao received a call from Uncle Changfeng on the way back home after leaving Rocco"s residence.
Before long, she changed routes and headed straight to the Huo residence.
When the car got to the estate entrance, a sports car happened to drive out quickly.
The dazzling sports car left a long yellow shadow in its wake under the sunlight. The rumble of its engine echoed through the air. It looked very cool.
When the cars were opposite each other, the driver in the sports car wearing sungla.s.ses veered her head slightly.
Huo Yao was playing with her phone. The moment she detected a strong gaze, she raised her head nonchalantly and looked up.
As their eyes made contact, the smell of gunpowder wafted in the air.
Before long, both cars went past each other.
Huo Yao touched her chin gently with her hand on her chest. She thought about what she had just seen. Was the driver trying to provoke her back there?
"Is that your opponent?" asked Min Yu calmly.
Huo Yao glanced at someone innocently. "I"m a nice friendly person, okay?"
"Hmph!" Min Yu laughed softly.
Huo Yao felt puzzled by the look on his face.
In a couple of minutes, the car pulled up at the villa"s entrance.
Min Yu had something to do, so he simply dropped Huo Yao at the foyer and drove off.
After entering the building, she saw Huo Changfeng and Huo Yulin talking inside. When they saw Huo Yao, they promptly stopped.
"Uncle Changfeng, Brother Yulin." Huo Yao nodded.
"How"s Rocco?" asked Huo Changfeng as he got up to pour her some tea.
Huo Yao sat down on the couch. "He is okay."
Huo Changfeng knew about Huo Yao"s medical abilities. When he heard what she said, he could not help feeling surprised. "I heard Rocco can"t live past 25. From the looks of it, it"s not true."
Huo Yao took the cup and drank some of its contents. She shook her head and replied. "That"s not true. If he didn"t encounter me, he would probably have reached his limit soon."
After all, inborn and acquired physical deficiencies were quite different, medically speaking.
Huo Changfeng instantly knew what she meant. "Politics exists among the royalty as well."
Huo Yao had no interest in the politics surrounding royalty, so she did not continue with the subject. She simply looked at him with enquiry. "Uncle Changfeng, didn"t you say you had something to say to me over the phone?"
"Uh huh," acknowledged Huo Changfeng. He took out the rules for the test intended for the potential candidates for the future clan leader and handed it to Huo Yao.
After Huo Yao saw the doc.u.ment in his hand, she paused for a second before she took it. She quickly went through its contents and raised her head. "A test for the future heir?"
"That"s right." Huo Changfeng nodded. He glanced at Huo Yulin again. "You and your third brother are included in the list of candidates."
Huo Yao lowered her head. After looking at the name list, she noticed she was clearly added later and went into deep thought.
He had already forced her to take over the family a.s.sets back in the country. Did he even want her to be the official heir now?
Did Uncle Changfeng have a problem with her enjoying her life?
Huo Yao pressed her brow. She suddenly remembered the sports car she ran into at the villa entrance. She finally understood why the driver looked at her with provocation.
"Uncle Changfeng, I think you should remove my name from the list," said Huo Yao powerlessly.
"Everyone agreed on the list. It"s not up to me." Huo Changfeng paused briefly before speaking helplessly.
Huo Yulin went quiet.
He was really good at blabbering nonsense with a straight face.
Huo Changfeng sighed and continued. "Yaoyao, your uncle worked really hard for this empire. Can you bear to let someone else take it?"
