Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Huo You was almost about to agree to Mrs. Huo’s conditions. The temptation of the shares in the real estate company was too great. It had to be known that the Huo Real Estate Company would become one of the top five companies in the real estate industry in the future. If she added in her foresight towards urban planning in first-tier cities, perhaps the Huo Corporation could become the leader of this industry.
Huo You couldn’t help but think that if she could get hold of the shares and even the management rights of the real estate company, she would be able to directly be ranked at the top of the list of wealthy people in a few years. What an exciting future this would be.
Huo You couldn’t help but be bewitched by the unbelievable future in her mind. The scales in her heart kept tilting, and she almost wanted to reach an agreement with Mr. and Mrs. Huo immediately…
However, when Huo You looked up to observe Mr. Huo’s expression, her gaze landed on Huo Feng, who was sitting in an armchair at the far end. At that moment, Huo You felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, and her excitement immediately cooled down.
Huo Feng leaned lazily on the sofa as if he felt that the show in front of him was very boring. He crossed his legs and rested one elbow on the armrest of the sofa, propping up one side of his cheek. After realizing Huo You’s gaze, he raised his eyes and looked at her indifferently.
His expression was calm as if he hadn’t heard what Mrs. Huo and Huo You had been discussing and didn’t know that Huo You was already tempted by her suggestion.
However, it was impossible for him not to have heard it. Huo You’s voice in her heart said with certainty, (He had definitely heard Mrs. Huo’s words earlier and knows that I want to use this opportunity to get more power from the Huo Family. However, he is still so calm. Is it because victory is in his grasp?)
The huge living room was brightly lit. Under the bright lights, everyone’s expressions could be seen clearly. Huo You could see the anticipation on Mr. Huo’s face and the faint pleading in his eyes. She could also see the craziness on Mrs. Huo’s gloomy face as if she had been forced to a dead end.
However, she could not see through Huo Feng. His composure was not an act, but where did he get his confidence from? Would everyone follow his script and finish the plot?
Huo You stared at Huo Feng and unconsciously recalled the message she suddenly received at the hotel. It was an order from Huo Feng. He succinctly pointed out the things she wanted to do, such as telling her to deliberately waste her time and come home late. He listed out the requests Mr. and Mrs. Huo would make after returning to the Huo Family and told her in advance how to deal with them…
Some of the orders that didn’t seem logical to her easily allowed her to force Mr. and Mrs. Huo to reveal their helpless side after she slowly implemented them. She even made them back off slowly and had no choice but to throw out even greater bait…
Huo You felt a chill run down her spine at the thought of that message. For the first time, she truly felt that her blood-related younger brother was a monster. How could he be so precise in his calculations?
He was so precise that he could predict all of Mr. and Mrs. Huo and Huo You’s reactions. It was as if he treated them as marionettes and he was the one controlling them.
Then, did Huo Feng know that Huo You was already tempted by Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s suggestion? Of course Huo Feng knew. The person who understood the Huo Family’s bad nature the most was Huo Feng, who had been very sensitive to human emotions since he was young. He knew too well what kind of person Huo You was. She was an animal filled with desire that would never be satisfied. She was like a foolish fish, not thinking if there was a hidden hook that could kill her when she saw bait hanging in front of her. Or maybe, even if she had seen it, she would think that it was a fluke and that it was impossible for her to be caught.
However, even a brainless fish would be trained to have instinctive reactions after suffering a few times. It would then remain vigilant against the bait. Therefore, Huo Feng was not worried that Huo You would be persuaded by Mr. and Mrs. Huo. Of course, if she wanted to seek death on her own accord, there was nothing he could do. She was just a foolish thing. A fish would not be able to change the direction of the entire river, and neither would Huo You be able to change the Huo Corporation’s development.
Huo You’s heart was itching. She wanted to take the opportunity to get the shares from the Huo Real Estate Company, but she was also nervous because of Huo Feng’s overly calm reaction.
She was conflicted for a long time, but in the end, she couldn’t bear to give up this good opportunity. However, she was also a little uneasy, so she suddenly said to Huo Feng, “Huo Feng, what do you think?”
