Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

1750 Volunteer To Go To Count Kerr’s Banquet

Huo Qing’s eyes constricted. He automatically looked up in the direction of the voice.

Huo Yulin strode in coldly with an imposing expression, giving off the aura of an icy mountain. An intimidating look shot out from his eyes even while he spoke.

As he walked over, he looked straight into Huo Qing’s eyes and said sternly, “What about me? Isn’t it more suitable for me to go?”

Huo Qing froze. He did not expect Huo Yulin to unexpectedly show up here.

He was groomed as the clan’s heir, so he had status in the family. If he were to attend the count’s banquet on behalf of Huo Jinfeng, it was perfectly justified.

Damn it. Wasn’t he ruining his plans?

Huo Yao glanced at Huo Qing and saw the awkward expression on his face and paused briefly.

She stood up and looked at Huo Yulin in surprise. “Brother Yulin, what brings you to Country M? Why didn’t you tell me about it?”

The coldness in Huo Yulin’s eyes finally disappeared looking at his little sister. He glanced at her indulgently. “I just got here. I left in a hurry last night, so I didn’t have the chance to tell you.”

Certainly sounded legitimate.

Huo Yao nodded. She reckoned that he must have rushed over after finding out about their eldest uncle’s condition.

Huo Yulin raised his hand to touch his little sister’s head. He shot a cold glance at Huo Qing. “Don’t worry. I’m here now. No one can bully you.”

Huo Yao went quiet.

Huo Qing felt annoyed.

Damn it. Couldn’t he see who was the one actually being pushed around?

He was on the brink of getting a heart attack. Couldn’t Huo Yulin see?

Huo Yulin bent over to pick up the invitation kept on the coffee table. He opened it slowly with his slender hands. After seeing the count’s family crest on the invitation, he closed it.

“I’ll attend it tomorrow.” Huo Yulin looked at Huo Qing as he spoke mildly.

It was clear from his tone that this was not open for discussion.

Someone had thrown a wrench in the works, so Huo Qing was furious but he was out of excuses. If he disagreed, it would expose his true reason for trying to send Huo Yao to the banquet.

From the looks of it, he had to think of some other way to make her go.

Huo Qing inhaled deeply. He stood up from the couch. “In that case…”

“Brother Yulin, can you take me along? I have never seen the count’s residence before.” Before Huo Yulin could speak, Huo Yao beat him to it. She reached her hand out and took the invitation from his hand. “I think it would open my eyes, right?”

The moment Huo Yulin heard Huo Yao wanted to go, he swallowed his words. Instead, he replied. “Of course, you can.”

Huo Yulin turned his head looking at his little sister quizzically.

Even the stupid man from the Min family wanted to date her. She was the last person on earth who needed to open her eyes, right?

“Are you serious about going?” asked Huo Yulin.

Huo Yao nodded solemnly. “I am not joking.”

Huo Yulin did not know what she was thinking. He went quiet briefly. “Okay then.”

Huo Qing had all his attention on their conversation and failed to detect Huo Yulin’s expression. The moment he heard that Huo Yao had agreed to attend the banquet, he felt relieved.

No matter what. She had agreed to go on her own accord. If anything happened, she had only herself to blame.

He certainly did not force her to go.

Before long, Huo Qing made an excuse and left the Huo residence.

After he was gone, Huo Yulin asked Huo Yao. “Why do you want to go to the count’s residence?”

Huo Yao blinked and replied solemnly. “I just think it’ll be an eye-opening experience for me.”

Huo Yulin went quiet.

As if he would believe such bullshit coming from her.
