Chapter 1834 I’m Versatile
Huo Yao"s phone rang in her pocket. As she retrieved her phone to check, she replied slowly. "Even if I don"t accept it, there will be more traps waiting for me in the future."
Since they were all tricks made for her to fall into, it made no difference which options she chose.
After replying to a text message, she paused briefly, raised her head, and said in a rather serious tone, "It might be a trap for now, but things might change because of me, right?"
Huo Yulin"s lips twitched. "I"m not kidding. The situation in Sangry Town is very complicated. By sending you to represent the clan, Eldest Elder is clearly trying to make you lose your popularity and standing. You might even become the scapegoat."
If anyone else from the clan was sent as a representative, they could probably sign the contract successfully.
His little sister had never shown her face around here. From an outsider"s perspective, she had no status in the clan. If she was sent to handle the contract signing, no one would treat her seriously.
Moreover, Sangry Town was under the control of a third party. Huo Yulin felt worried just thinking about this.
"Why don"t I change a.s.signments with you and go to Sangry Town instead?" said Huo Yulin again.
Even though Huo Yulin"s a.s.signment was hard as well, it was slightly easier to handle than Sangry Town"s.
"Brother Yulin, I think you should trust your sister a little." Huo Yao pointed at herself and said two words, "I"m versatile."
Huo Yulin went quiet.
For a moment, he did not know how to respond.
"Oh yes. Brother Yulin, I"m heading to the hospital later. Do you want to come along?" Huo Yao changed the subject.
Huo Yulin was very worried about her a.s.signment. Also, he did not know that Eldest Uncle had regained consciousness. He simply shook his head. "Go ahead. I have things to do. Give me a call if anything happens."
Huo Yao nodded and put away her phone. "Okay."
Before long, Huo Yulin sent her to the hospital and quickly drove off.

Huo Yao went upstairs.
She knocked on the door and entered to see two people sitting closely on the bed. She automatically halted, raised her hand, and pretended to cover her eyes. "Did I come at the wrong time?"
Shangguan Tong felt embarra.s.sed. Sadly, her wrist was held tightly and she was unable to wrest herself free. She could only look at Huo Jinfeng and grit her teeth. "Let go. You shouldn"t do this in front of the kid."
Huo Jinfeng replied. "No."
Shangguan Tong went speechless.
Huo Yao raised her brow. When she noticed the powerlessness in Aunt Tong"s eyes, she wanted to give Eldest Uncle a thumbs up.
Huo Jinfeng coughed awkwardly and got down to business. "Yaoyao, I hear you drew the Sangry Town a.s.signment."
"Uh huh." Huo Yao nodded. When Eldest Uncle sent a text message asking to see her at the hospital, she knew that he wanted to talk about this.
A serious look emerged on Huo Jinfeng"s face. "Sangry Town is an unusual area. I will tell someone else to take the a.s.signment. I already told Changfeng to take care of this."
Those old men must be having it too easy. How dare they push his niece around in his absence?
Huo Yao sat down on the chair. She wanted to cross her legs, but she recalled the image of a demure lady she had set for herself in front of Eldest Uncle, so she sat with her back straight. "No need. Otherwise, people might say you"re being unfair."
"But this isn"t fair to you!"
The moment Huo Jinfeng caught wind of the news, he wanted to go to the union, but Huo Changfeng stopped him.
Huo Jinfeng felt even guiltier inside seeing how kind his niece was.
d.a.m.n, those f*ckers!
