1773 Huo Wanying Leaves
Xie automatically looked over when the lift door opened.
The moment he saw Miss Huo and Young Master Yulin, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He certainly did not know how to continue to stop Huo Wanying any longer.
Xie quickly went over. He nodded reverently to them. “Hi, Miss Huo, Young Master Yulin.”
Huo Wanying turned her head. She did not look at Huo Yulin. Instead, her eyes landed on the young woman beside him.
Huo Yao had a gorgeous face. She looked like a snow lotus on a snowy mountain without any worldly cares. She was cool, proud, and ethereal.
Huo Wanying went into a daze.
Huo Yao was not what she had imagined.
Huo Yulin had already walked up in front of Huo Wanying. “Are you going to take sides with the Third Councilor and the elders?”
Huo Wanying frowned and said, “They are just worried about Second Uncle’s condition.”
“They are using it as an excuse to instigate trouble. Huo Wanying, I thought you were above all this,” said Huo Yulin mildly.
Huo Wanying always had a headstrong personality. She did not take part in family feuds, so the main clan always liked her.
“Second Uncle always treated me well. Shouldn’t I come to visit him?”
Huo Wanying felt there was something different about Huo Yulin.
She was just concerned about Second Uncle’s condition, so she drove all the way up from the South without taking any breaks in between. But Huo Yulin was stopping her from seeing Second Uncle and accusing her of taking sides.
Wasn’t he overreacting?
“In that case, all the more reason that you shouldn’t show up here.” Huo Yulin looked up and reminded her. “Master Jinfeng’s condition is top secret. Don’t you get it?”
Huo Wanying’s expression finally changed. She naturally understood what Huo Yulin was driving at. She inhaled deeply. “I understand.”
She nodded slightly and did not insist on entering the hospital ward to see Master Jinfeng.
She walked up to the lift and entered before long.
Xie watched as the lift doors closed and finally could relax. “Young Master Yulin, I’m so glad you’re here. If you didn’t show up, I don’t know if I could continue holding Miss Wanying back.”
Huo Yulin glanced at Xie and said, “Huo Wanying was always a smart woman.”
“She probably suddenly came back at Third Councilor’s cue,” replied Xie with his lips pursed.
Huo Yulin nodded and turned to look at his little sister. “Huo Wanying’s father is our father’s eldest cousin. He got into an accident while out on a mission and died over a decade ago leaving behind only a five-year-old daughter. Eldest Uncle decided to take care of her personally.”
Huo Yao raised her brow and remarked honestly. “She looks good and has a powerful aura.”
Huo Yulin raised his hand to rub her head. “My little sister still looks better.”
He insisted dotingly.
“I think so too.” Huo Yao smiled with her eyes upturned without the slightest modesty.
Huo Yulin glanced at her and did not want to respond to her.
Xie interrupted. “Oh yes. Young Master Yulin, something went wrong with the hospital surveillance footage between 2:00 to 5:00 am. Our technicians were unable to recover it. Since you are good with the computer, do you want to give it a shot?”
Huo Yulin promptly frowned. “Is Eldest Uncle okay then?”
“He’s okay. I asked the hospital president to examine Master Jinfeng and he’s fine.” Xie shook his head.
At Miss Huo’s instruction, they had called off the guards on the floor. Mainly, they wanted to draw out the mastermind behind Master Jinfeng’s attack.
