1749 Who Says Yaoyao’s The Only Person Who Can Go?

Huo Yao glanced at the invitation on the coffee table without picking it up for a look. Instead, she raised her head to glance at Huo Qing again.

She waited for him to continue talking.

When Huo Yao had no intention of looking at the invitation or asking about it, Huo Qing could not help frowning.

He finally said, “This is an invitation from Count Kerr. He has especially invited Master Jinfeng to the banquet tomorrow.”

!!

The moment Huo Yao heard Count Kerr, the look in her eyes changed a little.

A few days ago, the count sent someone to ‘invite’ her over as well. Now, they suddenly sent an invitation to the Huo family. From the looks of it, the invitation was not targeted at Huo Jinfeng. Instead, they were after her.

After all, Huo Jinfeng was seriously injured, so it was impossible for him to attend the banquet. She was Huo Jinfeng’s closest kin, so it made sense for her to go for it on his behalf.

This was probably the true reason Huo Qing told the butler to get her to come back.

Huo Yao pursed her lips and quickly nodded. “Okay then. I will pass the invitation to Eldest Uncle.”

Huo Qing was briefly stunned. He had already planned what to say, but Huo Yao was breaking his rhythm again and again.

Huo Qing had already investigated Huo Jinfeng’s condition. Sadly, the man was still alive, but at least he was unconscious. He wanted to use this to force Huo Yao to attend the banquet at the count’s residence on behalf of Huo Jinfeng.

However, she did not react as he expected.

Instead, she promptly said that she would tell Huo Jinfeng about the banquet.

“Is Master Jinfeng able to go?” After some time, Huo Qing asked her quizzically.

Huo Yao raised her brow. She asked rhetorically. “Does someone have to go just because an invite was sent?”

Huo Qing. “…”

When Huo Yao succeeded in making Huo Qing speechless, she smiled jokingly and added. “Since it’s not a must, Master Jinfeng doesn’t have to go.”

She did not address Huo Jinfeng as her eldest uncle. Instead, she called him Master Jinfeng.

“No. That won’t do!” responded Huo Qing coldly.

After saying this, he suddenly recalled Huo Yao was from the countryside. She probably did not know important people like Count Kerr.

Huo Qing added. “You probably don’t know about Count Kerr or his status. He doesn’t send invitations to random people and a lot of politics is involved in such matters. It’s not up to you to say no.”

Huo Yao nodded and replied airily., “Aren’t you from the Huo family? In that case, you can go, right?”

“I…” Huo Qing parted his lips but instantly choked. After stammering for some time, he answered frustratedly. “The invitation was sent to Master Jinfeng. I’m not from the main family branch. How can I attend on his behalf? Are you kidding?”

Huo Qing scoffed and lost his temper. He added. “I will just take it that you didn’t know better on account of your age. Don’t go around doing the same thing outside. It’s only going to embarrass us.”

“Uh huh.” Huo Yao picked up the cup of tea and took a sip casually.

Huo Qing felt as though he was throwing punches at cotton. His words did not have any effect towards intimidating the young woman as he expected. Instead, she had left him frustrated.

Huo Qing closed his eyes suppressing his fury and stopped beating around the bush.

“Someone has to attend the banquet. I know Master Jinfeng is in no condition to go. Also, it has to be someone from the main branch of the family. Since people call you the eldest daughter of the family, you should do your job. Other than you, no one else is suitable to attend the banquet. No matter what, considering your status, you’re the right person to go for this event.”

After beating around the bush for so long, he finally got to the main subject.

Huo Yao tutted to herself and put down her teacup. Just as she was about to respond, a deep cold voice spoke before her.

“Who says Yaoyao is the only person who can go?”
