Huo Yao shook her head and said with a straight face, “I think dry subjects are perfect.”
Huo Changfeng felt upset. “Didn’t your parents say anything about it?”
“Nope.” Huo Yao shook her head.
In reality, her parents reveled in joy when they found out that she wanted to major in Biology. They were terribly worried that she might choose some other popular subject.
Huo Changfeng pressed his forehead and did not know what to say.
Miss Huo was the top scholar during the college entrance exam. He had come up with countless plans to groom her, but she shockingly followed her third older brother’s footsteps and decided to do research.
Huo Changfeng felt that Huo Jinyan and Song Ning must be behind this so that Huo Yao would not want to inherit the family business.
They were simply too much.
Huo Yao noticed the sudden disappointment on Uncle Changfeng’s face and asked quizzically. “Uncle Changfeng?”
Huo Changfeng looked at Huo Yao and suddenly recalled that she could do two majors at university, so he tried again. “Since Biology is bound to be boring, have you considered doing a second major?”
Huo Yao took a sip of tea. She thought about the invitation that Tsing University’s Physics professor made and nodded. “Uh huh.”
Huo Changfeng saw hope. “Have you decided what you want to study?”
“Uh huh. Physics.” This time, Huo Yao answered Huo Changfeng even more swiftly than she did when she had answered about her major.
Physics was still research.
Huo Changfeng was about to suggest business or political science when he was dumbstruck.
He could feel his high blood pressure acting up.
Moments later, Huo Changfeng finally asked powerlessly. “… Why do you want to do Physics as your second major?”
Huo Yao pondered for a minute before she raised her head and answered awkwardly. “If I tell you, you might laugh at me.”
She cleared her throat and continued., “The Physics department gives out a lot of awards.”
Huo Changfeng went quiet.
What kind of insane reason was that?
Huo Changfeng’s lips parted and wanted to say how could those awards be compared to her inheritance. However, he was interrupted.
“Uncle Changfeng, stop trying to change my mind. I will only choose these subjects. All other subjects are out of the question,” said Huo Yao seriously.
Huo Changfeng did not know how he managed to send Huo Yao home. All he could think about was how the family business could not compare to those awards!
It was such a blow on his ego.

Time passed swiftly. Before long, it was almost time for the school term to commence.
Huo Yao took her luggage and boarded a flight to the capital despite how sad her parents were.
Even though Huo Yulin was very busy, he took two days off to come back and pick up Huo Yao.
It was very hot in the capital since it was August. Shortly after they got off the flight, they could sense the heat surging towards them. The heat finally disappeared after they entered the airport.
She received a call from Min Yu two minutes after she turned on her phone. She answered the phone and said, “I just got off the plane. Which exit are you at? Okay. Be there in a couple of minutes.”
She paused before she glanced at her third older brother pulling his luggage and added. “Oh yes. I forgot to tell you that my third older brother is here too.”
Min Yu was waiting at the airport when he heard this and went quiet.
After hanging up the phone, Min Yu glanced at the black cars behind him. He said a few words to Zhuo Yun and four black cars slowly drove out of the airport parking lot.
