Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss



"As for the second possibility." Huo Qing suddenly stopped spinning his pen.

He looked at The Eldest Elder and said firmly, "Maybe Master Jinfeng's niece is better than we think."

The old man promptly refuted the second reason. "Do you think someone raised outside of the clan can be capable of anything?"

Even if she was raised in an influential family, could she compare to the grooming and training that Huo Wanying had undergone?

"No matter what, we can't let the people from the main clan become the heir," said Eldest Elder.

He might not have to worry about Miss Huo, but it was not the same for Huo Yulin.

He would be Huo Wanying's fiercest opponent.

Huo Qing naturally understood his concerns. His lips curved upwards as he said, "People with weaknesses are easy to handle."

The Eldest Elder thought about some things from the past and smiled ambiguously. "Well, that's true."

He was too cautious and had inadvertently overlooked something.

"Make time to have dinner with Meryl tonight," said Huo Qing suddenly.

Eldest Elder glanced at Huo Qing. He caught Huo Qing's drift and nodded. "Okay then."

Meryl was not from a particularly influential family, but Huo Wanying listened to her.

If they could control Meryl, it was as good as controlling Huo Wanying.

Huo Yulin and Huo Changfeng went back to the main building.

"Uncle Changfeng, why did you agree to the heir selection today?" Huo Yulin looked at Huo Changfeng quizzically.

Huo Changfeng was still holding the rules of assessment for the test. He narrowed his eyes briefly and said, "It's only a matter of time before we select a new heir. You can say no for now, but it will still be brought up again."

"But Yaoyao…"

Huo Changfeng already knew what he wanted to say. "Trust me. Your little sister has what it takes to pass the test."

After all, Miss Huo had saved Master Jinfeng. No other person in the family had a greater right to be the heir.

Moreover, ever since last year, he had already handed over the majority of the assets in the capital to Miss Huo. Young Master Yulin might not know her abilities, but Chen Ming had been sending regular reports, so he knew best.

Huo Yulin still did not like the idea of getting his little sister involved. He wanted to say more, but he eventually restrained himself.

The Huo family was able to reach its current heights owing to his eldest uncle's hard work. He could not let his third uncle and the elders steal it from him.

Huo Changfeng raised his hand and patted Huo Yulin, who had been silent for a long time. He said comfortingly, "Don't worry. Even though Master Jinfeng is still unconscious, as long as I am alive, I won't let anything happen to your sister."

Huo Yulin suddenly shook his head and smiled sadly, "Uncle Changfeng, I won't try to stop you, but my parents… Well, you know how much they love their daughter. I hope you are mentally prepared for that."

Huo Changfeng went quiet.

This was far more troublesome in comparison to the internal rife in the clan.

The old butler walked in from outside and nodded to both of them. He said hurriedly, "Someone is here to see Miss Huo."

Huo Yulin and Huo Changfeng looked at the old butler in unison.

"Who?" asked Huo Changfeng.

"Someone from the royalty," replied the old butler reverently. "He's waiting outside the door and it seems urgent."

"Why would someone from the royalty want to see Miss Huo?" Huo Changfeng frowned.

The old butler shook his head and did not know either.

When Huo Yulin heard about the royalty, a serious expression emerged on his face. "They are probably here about the incident that happened at the count's residence."
