Chapter 154: Willing to Come Back?

“Tsk-tsk, so you were willing to come back? I thought you were going to die of old age in Lin City and never return.”

Huo Yifan was the eldest son of Huo Jinyao’s uncle, Huo Mingliang. Usually, Huo Mingliang’s family did not live in the main house of the Huo Family. It was really surprising that he had showed up there when Huo Jinyao just arrived.

Huo Yangping, Huo Jinyao’s grandfather, had three children in his life. His eldest, Huo Mingguang, was Huo Jinyao’s father.

The second eldest, Huo Mingliang, had two sons, Huo Yifan and Huo Yiyang. He also had a daughter, Huo Manzi.

The third child, Huo Mingmei, married Wei Nantian, the eldest son of the Wei Family, another upper-class family of Rong City. They had a son, Wei Sihai, and a daughter, Wei Simeng.

The Huo Family was a big one. Huo Yangping had a brother, Huo Yangyuan, who had entered politics instead of business. He also had a sister, Huo Yangxiu, who had married the commander in the army.

In other words, the Huo Family was presitgious and had contacts in all walks of life.

The most famous of them all, however, was Huo Yangping, who had built up a great fortune from scratch. At the same time, he had been very resourceful. Almost all the businesses invested in by the Huo Family had been highly profitable. This was why the Huo Family company was called “Tianyu.” under the sky, the Huo family was involved in every field. (“Tian” means sky, and “yu” means field.)

Huo Mingguang was the current chairman of Tianyu Corporation. Hehad taken it over when Huo Yangping retired.

He was more aggressive in business than Huo Yangping had been and was Huo Yangping’s favorite child among the three. The first branch of the Huo Family was also the most powerful one of the entire Huo Family because of him.

Huo Mingliang and Huo Mingmei both had positions in Tianyu, but they had less privileges than Huo Mingguang. This made Huo Jinyao’s cousin, Huo Yifan, very disaffected. In his opinion, he was no less competent than Huo Jinyao.

“Yifan, you are joking. Rong City is my home, how could I not come back?”

“Really? Huo Yifan sneered. “You still regard this place as your home? I thought you had Lin City as your home now. After all, you did not come back even though your parents wanted you to, did you?”

“It was busy and tiring to open up new markets. Grandpa understands me, let alone my parents. But—”

Huo Jinyao glanced over at Huo Yifan and chuckled. “You certainly wouldn’t understand my situation. Your ability is limited. How could we trust you with something as important as this?”

“Huo Jinyao.” Huo Yifan did not even call him cousin. “Don’t go too far,” he said.

“Am I wrong? I’m sorry.” Huo Jinyao spread out his hands. “Generally speaking, the truth is always unpopular. Excuse me, I have to go upstairs to Grandpa.”

As he passed by Huo Yifan and walked upstairs, Huo Yifan’s voice came from behind him. It sounded cold.

“Huo Jinyao, don’t be smug. If uncle does not support you, you won’t get that seat you want no matter how capable you are.”

“Don’t worry. Even if he doesn’t support me, he won’t support you. You are just too ordinary.” Ignoring Huo Yifan’s sour face, Huo Jinyao went straight upstairs.

The main house of the Huo Family had five floors. Huo Yangping lived on the second, where there was a special study for him in addition to his bedroom.

When Huo Jinyao entered the room, Huo Yangping had just finished his calligraphy. He stepped back, looked at his writing, and did not lift his head when he heard the door open.

“Why are you here? Are you willing to come back?”
