1650 An Agreement
Huo Changfeng was happy Master Jinfeng was finally showing real emotions. Even though Master Jinfeng had never seen Miss Huo in person previously, he surprisingly seemed to care about her a lot.
In the past, he did not give Lu Xia any special treatment.
Huo Changfeng had always been curious about this.
He had to agree that Miss Huo was unique, especially her aura. She was very different from the usual young ladies of high society.
Huo Yao held the cup. Her light pink outfit brought out her fair complexion. Her beautiful eyes looked unsullied as she said obediently, “I’m looking forward to seeing him too.”
Huo Changfeng smiled. He thought about all the family rules and paused briefly before he decided to give Huo Yao some warning in advance. “Oh yes. Miss Huo, there are a lot of rules in the family. Just follow me when the time comes. If anyone tries to talk to you, just ignore them.”
He knew the chances of this happening were very low, but he wanted her to go in prepared, so he decided to warn her about it.
Huo Yao noticed the serious look on Uncle Changfeng’s face. This was probably normal in big powerful families. She nodded. “Okay, Uncle Changfeng.”
“Miss Huo, don’t be nervous. Just treat it as your own home.” Huo Changfeng was afraid he might have made things sound scary, so he explained hurriedly. “After all, this is your home.”
Huo Yao raised her brow rubbing the cup. She suddenly remembered something and asked. “Uncle Changfeng, I’ve been curious about something for some time. I wonder if you know the answer.”
Huo Changfeng paused briefly and said, “Go on.”
“Well, my parents don’t seem to like the idea of me talking to you.” Huo Yao brought up the question on her mind for a long time.
Even over the phone, her mother would try to find out if she had been in touch with Uncle Changfeng.
As the time went on, she started to feel that there was more to this.
Huo Changfeng did not expect Huo Yao to ask such a question. He cleared his throat and said, “This is complicated, so it’s hard to explain.”
Huo Yao blinked. From the looks of it, there was something big here.
Huo Changfeng went quiet for a couple of minutes. He realized that they could not keep putting the matter off forever.
Moreover, Master Jinfeng treated Miss Huo very differently. “Miss Huo, as you know, Master Jinfeng has never married in his life. However, we have a big family business, so we need to find an heir for it.”
Huo Yao promptly connected the dots and a look of shock emerged on her face. “Are my parents afraid that my uncle will make me the heir?”
In that case, her parents certainly did not care about money!
No, correction! Her parents had little interest in fame and fortune.
Huo Changfeng looked at Miss Huo in astonishment. He could not help feeling impressed by how quickly she managed to connect the dots.
He cleared his throat and continued. “Something like that. I wouldn’t say they are afraid that your uncle will make you inherit the mantle. Instead, they already made an agreement many years ago regarding this.”
Huo Changfeng’s mind drifted away after bringing up the agreement.
When he was in his teens, Huo Jinfeng saved him. He started working for Huo Jinfeng ever since, so he knew everything about the family. The same was true about the heir.
Owing to Young Master Yulin’s incident, Lu Xia’s true personality got exposed. Ever since then, they started grooming Young Master Yulin as the next heir without bringing up their agreement.
It seemed as though the agreement never took place at all.
