Novel Full Chapter 1711 - 1711 Uncle
1711 Uncle
Huo Changfeng went into a daze hearing what Huo Yao said about the time-sensitive nature of harvesting Chinese herbs.
A long time ago when Miss Tong was still around, he had heard her mention this as well.
Chinese herbs would have varying degrees of effect depending on the time they were plucked.
Huo Changfeng gathered his thoughts. He was unfamiliar with Chinese herbs, so he simply paused and replied. “I’ll send you over then.”
“It’s okay. Just give me a car. I can go over by myself,” said Huo Yao as she smiled.
Huo Changfeng waved his hand. “I have nothing to do now, so I can tag along.”
Since he was insistent, Huo Yao did not turn down his offer.
Before long, they headed out.
When the car drove out of the villa entrance and went past the huge fountain, it encountered a few black cars entering the compound.
Huo Changfeng’s face automatically turned cold upon seeing the cars.
The car in the front even honked at him a couple of times.
Huo Changfeng frowned, but he eventually stepped on the brake.
Huo Yao had a phone in her hand sitting in the backseat. She raised her head nonchalantly.
Men dressed in black got off the cars nearby. Over a dozen men got off the cars and lined up beside the car in the lead.
Before long, the backseat car door opened. A slightly plump man in his sixties holding Buddha beads in one hand got off the car.
The man walked over unhurriedly.
Huo Changfeng undid his seatbelt. He told Huo Yao he would be right back and got off the car.
“Third Councilor, what brings you here today?” Huo Changfeng calmly nodded to the man approaching him.
Huo Qing turned the Buddha beads in his hand without saying a word right away. Instead, he looked at the car stationed behind Huo Changfeng.
Since the privacy film was installed on the car windows, it was impossible to see anything inside the car.
Huo Qing veered his eyes and said, “I hear Master Jinfeng’s long-lost biological niece is here?”
Huo Changfeng could not help frowning on hearing the words ‘biological niece’ from Huo Qing. “Third Councilor, I have to say you are very well informed. Miss Huo is really here.”
Huo Qing pretended not to notice Huo Changfeng’s subtle correction. His lips curved up slightly as he said, “From the looks of it, I didn’t come for nothing.”
Huo Changfeng narrowed his eyes.
Each time the third councilor came over, it was bad news. It seemed that he was here today because of Miss Huo.
Huo Qing’s voice could be heard again. “I hear Master Jinfeng’s niece is very talented and makes a good heir. Today, I will finally get the chance to see her.”
Huo Qing sighed as he spoke.
Sure enough, Huo Changfeng got it spot on.
Huo Changfeng’s face remained expressionless as he said calmly, “I’m afraid you can only be disappointed. Master Jinfeng isn’t around. It isn’t a convenient time for Miss Huo to see guests right now.”
“Why not? I am technically her uncle as well. I am a blood-related family member.”
Huo Qing had already made up his mind to see her.
Huo Changfeng looked at Huo Qing. He could tell that the man would not leave easily.
He paused briefly and said, “In that case, be my guest. I have something to attend to, so I have to go.”
Before Huo Qing could utter a word, Huo Changfeng nodded and turned to get back into the car.
He started the engine again and drove off.
Huo Qing watched from behind as the car disappeared. His expression looked stern.
He was just a dog working for the Huo family. Did he really think he had high status in the family?
Huo Qing scoffed and headed toward the villa.
