1739 Was She Fit To Be The Eldest Daughter Of The Clan?
Xie turned to look at Huo Yao. “Miss Huo, please go ahead. I’ll be here to stand guard.”
Huo Yao raised her brow and glanced at Xie. “Okay.”
Before long, Huo Yao and the hospital president disappeared out of sight.
Xie veered his eyes. His subordinates had gone back to their previous positions to block the corridor.
Second Elder promptly looked annoyed on seeing this. “Who the hell does she think she is?”
“Calm down.” Huo Qing raised his hand and placed it on the furious Second Elder’s shoulder.
He glanced in Huo Yao’s direction and said comfortingly, “Miss Huo is still young and returned to the family not long ago. Even though her behavior was a little inappropriate, it’s understandable. Don’t take it to heart.”
On the surface, he sounded like he was speaking up for Huo Yao. In reality, he was pointing fingers at her.
Second Elder promptly remembered that the so-called Miss Huo was from the countryside.
He automatically laughed coldly. “Miss Wanying is around the same age as her. Do you see Miss Wanying making mistakes like her?”
Sure enough, she was from the countryside and did not have any etiquette.
How could she call herself the eldest daughter of the clan?
“You can’t say that. After all, they were brought up differently.” Huo Qing smiled as he spoke genially.
One of them was groomed by the Huo family while the other was recovered from the countryside. There was no room for comparison between them at all.
Second Elder looked at Xie once more. “She’s from the countryside. Do you really want to make things difficult for us on account of her?”
Xie stood with his back straight without the slightest intention to retreat.
Second Elder laughed in anger. He knew he would not be able to see Master Jinfeng today. He nodded. “Very well. I hope you don’t regret this.”
The moment he finished his sentence, he turned to leave.
When the other elders saw this, they had no reason to linger on any longer. Before long, they followed behind Second Elder and entered the lift.
Huo Qing walked right at the back. He glanced at Xie ambiguously. “Miss Huo offended all the elders the moment she came back. I’m sure this is going to make her life very hard in the future.”
Xie looked at Huo Qing and an imperceptible frown appeared on his face.
Huo Qing smiled ambiguously as he touched his Buddha beads and entered the lift as well.
Sometime after the lift door closed, Xie finally stopped thinking about Huo Qing’s sinister smile.
His eyes turned dark. After telling his men to stand guard outside, he turned to look for Huo Yao.

Huo Qing and the elders went downstairs. Before long, everyone parted ways.
Huo Qing sat in the car with his legs crossed. He looked outside the car window, seeming in a good mood.
As he pondered, his subordinate asked from the driver’s seat. “Is Miss Wanying back yet?”
The subordinate looked into the rearview mirror and replied reverently. “Not yet. The new power in the Southern region is hard to deal with. She is still trying to settle the problem and probably won’t be back so soon.”
Huo Qing nodded. “Give her a call and tell her about Master Jinfeng’s situation.”
The subordinate felt puzzled. “If Miss Wanying can make the new power in the South submit to us, it would be a big help to her status in the clan. If you tell her about Master Jinfeng’s situation, wouldn’t she come back immediately?”
“If she doesn’t come back now, someone else is going to steal what is hers,” said Huo Qing calmly.
Huo Jinfeng’s niece had an imposing aura. It was no less imposing than Huo Wanying’s airs. Even though they did not know her well enough, there was no harm in being prepared.
The elders might have preconceptions about her and underestimated her, but not him.
It was a bad idea to underestimate anyone in the Huo family.
Back in the day when Huo Yulin first arrived, everyone had assumed he was a pushover. However, he ended up being a vicious man.
