1838 Refuse The Offer
Huo Yulin glanced at the door. The sound of Huo Yao talking to the old butler could be heard faintly.

He did not ask Huo Wanying to stay and simply acknowledged her in agreement.

When Huo Wanying walked out, she ran into Huo Yao at the door and halted briefly.

Their eyes made contact for a second before Huo Wanying moved away her eyes and walked past Huo Yao.

Huo Yao raised her brow and entered the living room slowly.

Huo Yulin was still holding the manila envelope. When he saw his little sister coming in, he placed the envelope on the coffee table beside him. He asked. “How’s Eldest Uncle?”

“Same ol’ same ol’.” Huo Yao glanced at the manila envelope beside her brother and enquired. “Brother Yulin, why did Huo Wanying want to see you?”

Huo Yulin pondered and answered candidly. “She said she could help you.”

Huo Yao smiled ambiguously. “On what conditions?”

Huo Yulin did not answer immediately.

Huo Yao could already guess Huo Wanying’s conditions. She sat down on the couch lazily and looked at Huo Yulin rather seriously. “Brother Yulin, have you ever thought of inheriting millions in inheritance?”

The subject of the conversation had changed so unexpectedly that Huo Yulin did not know how to react.

Huo Yao crossed her legs again and nodded firmly. “Uh huh. I’m sure you have.”

Huo Yulin went quiet.

No, he certainly did not.

Huo Yao received a text message, so she took out her phone and lowered her head to look at it.

It was a message from the Cloud Realm administrator.

Huo Yulin watched as she used her phone. She remained calm as usual. It seemed as though nothing could make her stressed.

He sighed inwardly. In the end, he did not mention accepting Huo Wanying’s help anymore.

As for Huo Wanying’s manila envelope, Huo Yulin did not open it either. After returning to the room, he placed it in the desk drawer casually.

At the same time, he sent Huo Wanying a text message to refuse the offer.

Councilor Ding was in charge of Sangry Town. When he heard back from Huo Wanying with a refusal to help, he thought carefully and could only take the contract to the Huo estate.

Xie sent Councilor Ding to the side hall. When Huo Yao got there, he was anxiously pacing up and down in the room.

“Hi, Miss Huo.” Councilor Ding hurriedly halted and nodded to Huo Yao.
Huo Yao raised her hand and gestured for him to take a seat.

Councilor Ding was anxious, but he suppressed his anxiety and sat down. “I’m here to talk to you about Sangry Town. I need to tell you more about the situation in advance…”

Sangry Town was a complicated territory. No one else could help take over the project, so Councilor Ding had no choice. He could only come over and talk to Huo Yao about the project in detail.

As he spoke, he placed the documents in front of Huo Yao, wishing she could read them.

He did not expect her to understand everything in the files. He could only hope that they would be of use to answer some questions when they got to Sangry Town. This way, she would not look entirely oblivious.

Huo Yao slowly flipped through Councilor Ding’s documents. After he was done talking, she casually stopped flipping and asked an irrelevant question. “Has the third party in power in Sangry Town already gotten so big?”

Councilor Ding was stunned. He did not understand why she would suddenly ask, but he quickly answered. “I hear they have a lot of funding, so they were able to develop quickly.”

“A lot of funding?” Huo Yao suddenly smiled saying this.

If Huo Tingrui was there to see this, he would have noticed it resembled the smile she gave when he stole her money last year.
