Chapter 3 - The Future is Long

Hearing Huo Man's words, the Huo Family didn't feel threatened at all, but instead were secretly happy.

There were four other members in their family, so how could they not deal with a single wild girl, Huo Man?

"How considerate!" Liang Yu snorted coldly and arrogantly continued, "Then hurry up and start the proceedings to transfer the will to your father. I'm going to find a lawyer right now."

Seeing Liang Yu's expression, Huo Man sneered. She took out the will and began reading the terms, "If Huo Man ever decides to give up the inheritance, the entirety of the Huo Family inheritance will be donated to building infrastructure in remote mountainous areas."

Hearing this, the other four members of the Huo Family who were still being smug moments before, were utterly stunned.

'What?'

'Donated?'

'Old Master Huo would rather donate everything than leave it to them?'

"In any case, we can't allow her to get the inheritance! Grandpa also stipulated that she can only inherit successfully if she marries Shen Bei. I don't believe Shen Bei would fall for a woman like you!"

Huo Yan was anxious. As a last ditch effort, she mentioned the marriage stipulation in the will as her last ray of hope.

Just who was Shen Bei? He was the dream man of thousands of young girls, including Huo Yan herself.

She had previously wanted to marry him as well. After all, the Huo Family and the Shen Family had good relations, and Huo Yan always felt that her dream wasn't unfulfillable. 

However, now that the Huo Family and the Shen Family could possibly be connected by marriage, it was between Shen Bei and the jinx of the Huos, Huo Man, and not her?! 

How could she endure that?!

Just as Huo Yan was gleefully gloating, Huo Man's phone rang.

She took it out and saw that it was Lawyer Zhang.

Under the gaze of the Huo Family, Huo Man ended the call and said, "I'm so sorry for the interruption. Lawyer Zhang just called me to say that Shen Bei has agreed to the marriage."

As soon as she said this, Huo Yan felt as if lightning had struck her.

'Shen Bei had actually agreed to marry Huo Man?'

Huo Yan looked at Huo Man in disbelief.

'This country bumpkin had actually snatched away Big Brother Shen Bei she had been pining for for so long?!'

'No! Impossible! You must be lying! Why would Shen Bei agree to marry you?!" Huo Yan pounced on Huo Man like a lunatic.

Huo Man dodged her easily, causing Huo Yan to fall to the floor, wailing in her sorry state.

"Why would I joke with you? Since things have already gotten to this point, you should have already understood that these assets are already mine." Huo man's lips curled up, as she seemingly transformed from a country bumpkin girl into a regal queen looking down on the dumbfounded Huo Family.

"Since we're related by blood, I won't chase you out. Just leave me a room."

Huo Man looked around the Huo Family Villa. How unfortunate that she has never lived in such a magnificent residence.

Suddenly, her eyes fixed on a wooden door on the second floor. She pointed at the room and said, "Let's go with that room."

Everyone looked in the direction that Huo Man was pointing at, before Huo Yan screamed again, "NO! THAT'S MY ROOM!"

Since the Shens had already agreed to the marriage, Huo Cheng's attitude had softened a little bit. He tried to dissuade Huo Man, "Huo Man, that room is your sister's. Can you possibly pick another one?"

Huo Man was tired and didn't want to quibble with them any longer. Anyways, she had all the time in the world.

She shrugged and glanced at Huo Yan, who was still indignant, and said, "Alright then. Just arrange a room for me."

As expected, the Huo Family would not treat her well if she gave in.

The room they arranged for her was a small detached house on the side of the villa, which was where the servants used to live.

Standing in the empty house, Huo Man was expressionless.

It was actually a nice place to stay as there was a small garden surrounding it, so it was comfortable and quiet.

Huo Man quickly unpacked her luggage and laid on the bed, absentmindedly staring at the ceiling. Life was truly amazing. She never thought a chance for her to appear in front of the Huo Family again would come, but now, everything in the Huo Family belonged to her.

Just as she was thinking of a way out, her phone suddenly rang.

When she looked at it, she saw that it was Tang Qing.

"What?" Huo Man answered the phone and straight out asked.

"Someone is investigating you." Tang Qin's voice remained calm as he added, "Do we need to fight?"

Huo Man knew that she would inevitably be investigated, so she didn't really care.

"It doesn't matter. Just let them investigate."

With that, Huo Man hung up and deftly deleted the call record.

She was very particular with not leaving any traces.
