1754 Worried About Her Brother’s Dating Life
What did people from influential families care about the most?
Clout was everything.
They did not use the car fleet to show off to anyone. Instead, it was simply a symbol of wealth and status.
If one day they stopped using such symbols of power, this meant that their family was over.
Huo Yulin gathered his thoughts and said calmly, “You’ll get used to it.”
Huo Yao tapped her fingers on her knees gently. She nodded and concluded. “It’s such a bother being in a powerful family.”
The life of a pauper was far more unrestrained.
Huo Yulin smiled in response without saying a word.
30 minutes later, the car reached Count Kerr’s residence.
Count Kerr’s residence was very large, but it was not half as grand as the Huo residence. Since it was a birthday banquet, the entire estate was decorated festively.
The best luxury cars in the world could be found in the open-air parking lot. It was clear that Count Kerr had invited quite a many influential people to the banquet.
When Huo Yao and Huo Yulin got off the car, Count Kerr’s butler came over to welcome them immediately, looking very respectful.
“Young Master Yulin, welcome,” said the butler. He glanced at Huo Yao somewhat curiously and was blown away looking at her.
This young woman was undoubtedly the most beautiful woman at the banquet tonight. She had effortlessly defeated all the women present.
Huo Yulin nodded. His subordinate handed the gift to the butler.
Even though Huo Yulin caught the butler’s looks, he had no intention of introducing Huo Yao. Instead, he retrieved a special-looking pin from his pocket and pinned it on her, right in front of the butler.
The butler had a feeling she was no ordinary woman and promptly stopped looking. He reached his hand out and gestured for Huo Yulin and Huo Yao to enter. “This way, please.”
As Huo Yao went toward the main hall, she lowered her eyes looking at the crescent-shaped pin on her chest. She raised her brow and asked softly. “Is this the family crest?”
Her third older brother’s collar had a similar embroidery.
“Uh huh.” Huo Yulin glanced toward the hall. “Lots of people are here. With this, you can avoid unnecessary trouble.”
His little sister had never shown her face in front of them before. A symbol of their status would prevent others from making false assumptions about her identity.
Huo Yao nodded. She glanced around the hall and looked at the pretty ladies inside. “Brother Yulin, when are you going to date someone?”
The topic changed out of the blue, so Huo Yulin was unable to react quickly enough.
“You’re not getting any younger. Girlfriends are adorable creatures, so you should find yourself one soon too,” said Huo Yao in concern.
She was the youngest in the family, but she acted like a worried mother.
Huo Yulin did not know what to say.
He suddenly did not want her as his little sister anymore.

Another car pulled up outside.
The car did not have any logos on it, but anyone with knowledge of cars could tell at a glance that it was a specially modified bulletproof car.
The butler had just shown Huo Yulin and Huo Yao into the estate. When he came out and saw the man getting out of the car, he promptly looked reverent. “Your Highness, Count Kerr is inside. I’ll go call him over.”
Rocco coughed a couple of times looking pale as usual. He raised his hand. “It’s fine. It’s his birthday banquet, so we should relax and spare the formalities.”
The butler hurriedly nodded. “In that case, let me show you inside.”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Rocco mildly. After following the butler a couple of steps, another car pulled up outside.
The person got out of the car and called after him. “Prince Rocco.”
