Huo Wanying squeezed her wrists without answering Meryl.
After some time, she took out her phone and swiped down to Huo Yulin's phone number.
Before long, the call got through.
Huo Wanying wasted no time. "Are you free to meet right now?"
Huo Yulin was still driving. He did not know why Huo Wanying would suddenly want to meet him. He paused briefly and then agreed.
Huo Wanying looked outside the French windows casually. "Okay. Where are you?"
He said, "I am going back to the Huo estate."
"… See you in 30 minutes then." Saying this, she hung up the phone.
Meryl was still there. When she heard what her daughter said, she could not help asking. "Who are you meeting?"
"Brother Yulin." Huo Wanying replied candidly.
Meryl never liked Huo Yulin. "Why are you going to see him?"
"To talk." Huo Wanying placed her phone in her pocket and stood up. "Mom, aren't you heading out?"
"Yes, I am. You looked like you had something on your mind." Meryl smiled.
Huo Wanying shook her head. "Nope. Just go and do your thing. I'm going upstairs."
Huo Wanying quickly went upstairs. Meryl frowned as she watched from behind.
They were in the middle of the test and it was a critical time. Did something go wrong?
Meryl paused briefly, took out the phone, and texted Huo Qing. After she was done, she finally went out.

30 minutes later, Huo Wanying arrived at the main building in the Huo estate.
Huo Yulin had just gotten home a few minutes ago. "Why did you want to see me?"
"About the Sangry Town assignment… I can help your sister with the contract signing." Huo Wanying always had a candid personality and got straight to the point.
Huo Yulin leaned against the couch, looked up, and said, "You?"
Huo Wanying nodded. "Uh huh. Councilor Ding is in charge of the project and he talked to me about it. If I help, your little sister has a higher chance of succeeding with the assignment. It's not entirely about succeeding in signing the contract. I'm sure you know the situation in Sangry Town, so I don't need to explain."
The union assignment was secondary if she had trouble returning in one piece.
Huo Yulin looked at Huo Wanying. After some time, he asked. "What's the catch?"
A smile appeared on Huo Wanying's face. "Of course, there's a condition. It's really down to you."
"If I'm not mistaken, you want me to drop out of the race to be the heir." From the moment Huo Wanying brought up the Sangry Town assignment, Huo Yulin had a feeling.
Huo Yao might have performed brilliantly yesterday, but she lacked experience. Even if she was able to complete the Sangry Town assignment, during the voting, the elders would still eliminate her eventually.
In reality, he was Huo Wanying's strongest opponent.
After all, in everyone's eyes, he was raised and groomed to be the next heir.
"You can say so." Huo Wanying continued smiling, but it was becoming increasingly ambiguous.
Huo Wanying came with a manila envelope. She placed it on the table and said, "I have listed all my conditions in the document."
Huo Yulin narrowed his eyes. He slowly reached his hand out to take the manila envelope to open it. Before he opened it, Huo Wanying's voice could be heard once more.
"Out of trust, I can help your little sister first. As for the document, it's not too late for you to read it after I'm done," Huo Wanying spoke mildly.
Huo Yulin's hands trembled, holding the manila envelope. He was rather surprised by Huo Wanying's words. At this moment, he genuinely did not know what she wanted.
The sound of the door opening could be heard.
Huo Wanying narrowed her eyes, stood up, and glanced at the documents. "That's all I have to say to you, so I'll be on my way."
