Huo Wanying also stood up. "Third Uncle, why don''t you head over first? I''ll go right after getting changed."


    Huo Qing nodded and quickly stepped out.


    As he left, Huo Wanying''s mother walked towards her.


    Meryl was an elegant westerndy. She had overheard her daughter''s conversation with Huo Qing.


    After ncing at Huo Wanying, she said, "I haven''t seen Master Jinfeng''s niece before, but Master Qing is right. Considering all your contributions to the family, no one else has more right to be the eldest daughter of the n."


    Huo Wanying veered her eyes. She turned to look at her mother. "Mom, be careful about what you say."


    Meryl said disappointedly, "Where was his niece when you risked your life working for Master Jinfeng? What right does she have to be the eldest daughter of the family? Can shepare to you?"


    Huo Wanying felt a headacheing on and pressed her temples. She did not want to listen to her mother''s nagging. "Enough, Mom. I know what to do. I''m going to get changed first."


    She went straight upstairs.


    "You…" Meryl looked at her daughter from behind and eventually shouted. "You''re being stupid!"


    Huo Wanying heard what her mother said, but she did not pause for a second.


    After getting to the room, she closed the door and quietly stood for some time. She took her phone from her coat and swiped down to thest dialed number. She had called it previously, but her call got rejected.


    She sent a text message.


    [Are you scared?]

    Xie had already walked a few rounds at the entrance with a serious look on his face.


    When Huo Yulin''s car came back, he finally stopped.


    "Wee, Young Master Yulin."


    Huo Yulin looked cold as usual as he got out of the car. He nodded to Xie and asked. "Are they all here?"


    "The five elders, three councilors, and n branch leaders are all here," said Xie as he pointed at the vi next door. "They are all waiting in the conference room."<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Huo Yulin narrowed his eyes. "From the looks of it, they can''t wait to start."


    "From the moment Master Jinfeng got hurt, they have already given away their intentions." Xie looked coldly. "No one ever stopped to think about whom they have to thank for the family''s sess."


    "Is Yaoyao here?" asked Huo Yulin suddenly.


    "Miss Huo isn''t back yet."


    "Uh huh," acknowledged Huo Yulin. He entered the vi next door and headed to the conference room. As he walked, he said, "Don''t tell her about the family problems. It will only make her annoyed."


    Xie followed behind Huo Yulin. He naturally caught his drift and nodded in acknowledgment.


    It was truly annoying.


    Before long, the two of them arrived at the meeting room.


    At the long table, other than the empty main seat, all the other seats were upied.


    Over a dozen people were sitting there. Huo Yulin nced mildly at them before he sat down at his designated seat located to the right of the main seat.


    Xie stood behind him.


    Huo Wanying sat across from him. She did not sit in the first seat. Instead, she sat on the third one.


    Huo Wanying sat with her hands casually leaning on the table and her eyes lowered, looking very inconspicuous.


    She was the only woman with the right to attend the meeting. How could she have a low profile?


    The Eldest Elder chaired the meeting.


    He nced around at the elders casually and stood up. He said, "Everyone is here, so let the meetingmence…"


    He calmly started with some less important family matters on the agenda before the subject changed. "Other than this, there is one other matter we have to discuss that is important to the family."


    Huo Yulin looked up at his words.


    The old man was finally getting to the main subject of the meeting.
