1654 A Very Rich Uncle
Huo Yao stepped through the door. When she saw the luxurious décor, the country mouse inside her nearly wanted to kneel down and cry.
In the past, when she found out that her family was not wealthy, she had made up her mind to experience the life of a commoner.
Now that she knew the truth about her family, she realized that it was better to have money.
Huo Yao sighed inside. The moment she entered the hall, she looked up and saw a middle-aged man sitting on the main seat at the center of the room.
He was dressed in a dark casual outfit sitting with his back straight. He gave off an imposing aura and felt quite different from her earlier impression of him as a genial uncle.
Huo Yao blinked.
Huo Changfeng had already walked up in front of Master Jinfeng. He pointed at Huo Yao behind him. “Master Jinfeng, this is Miss Huo.”
Huo Jinfeng tightened his grip on the armrest slightly. Since his niece was right in front of them, he did not throw a temper at Huo Changfeng. He simply glanced at Huo Changfeng expressionlessly.
This was hilarious. Huo Yao was his niece. Did they need an introduction?
Huo Yao took a step forward and nodded courteously. “Hello, Eldest Uncle.”
Huo Jinfeng hurriedly stopped cursing Huo Changfeng in his mind. He got up from the chair and walked toward Huo Yao. “My good child. How was your trip?”
Sure enough, she was from the Huo family. She had inherited all the right DNA from her parents. However, one thing was different about her. The young woman had a far more powerful aura than her parents.
Even though she had concealed herself well, it did not escape Huo Jinfeng’s eyes.
Huo Yao naturally knew that her kind uncle was studying her. She was confident that her demure appearance was flawless, so she simply replied she was fine and quickly handed him a gift. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Eldest Uncle. Here’s a small gift for you. I hope you like it.”
The butler automatically walked over and helped to take the gift for his boss.
Before he was able to reach his hand out, Huo Jinfeng had already accepted the package. He smiled and said, “Yaoyao, no matter what it is, I’m sure I’ll love it.”
The butler froze briefly before he quietly retreated by a few steps.
Huo Jinfeng took the gift and pointed at the couch by the side. “Stop standing. Make yourself comfortable.”
Huo Yao nodded. She walked straight to the couch calmly and took a seat.
Huo Jinfeng gently placed the gift on the coffee table excitedly. He retrieved the gift he had prepared for her, walked up to his niece, and sat down beside her. “I also prepared a present for you. Why don’t you take a look and see if you like it?”
“Thank you, Eldest Uncle.” Huo Yao felt bad about refusing him. When she accepted the gift, she could tell it was not light.
Her eyelids twitched slightly as she slowly opened the gift box. The moment she saw the huge diamond the size of a fist inside the box, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Sure enough, it was the Huo family’s style. The gift was very generous and their wealth knew no bounds.
Huo Yao raised her head to look at Huo Jinfeng. “Eldest Uncle, this is too expensive. I can’t accept it.”
A look of disappointment appeared on Huo Jinfeng’s face. “Don’t you like it?”
Huo Yao cleared her throat. “That’s not it…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Huo Jinfeng interrupted her. “If you don’t like it, it’s perfectly fine. You can just treat it as a rock for decoration.”
Huo Yao went quiet.
Huo Jinfeng pointed at the exquisite box holding the diamond and continued. “Open the second layer. I’m sure you’ll like what’s in the second layer even more.”
