Huo Yuntang would absolutely never accept this.
Xie Ziyuan felt a little heavy-hearted. She turned around and went out, then made a call to Huo Yuntang. As expected, no one answered.
She then called Mr. Huo, who was very enthusiastic. Some time ago, she cured Mr. Huo's rheumatism, and the two had a relationship as close as that of a grandfather and grandson.
"Ziyuan, only you care about our Huo family at a time like this. Alas, what a misfortune for our family!" Old Master Huo was angry with Huo Yuntang, but he was even angrier with his eldest son and daughter.
They actually sold off the Huo family's shares so casually for money! This resulted in the Huo family's shareholding being lower than that of Pear Blossom Capital, leaving them to watch helplessly as the Huo Group changed hands.
He had been proud his whole life, but in his old age he had to endure such humiliation; he had completely lost face.
"Yun Tang is too arrogant. He has been blaming himself these days. Alas! This fall has really hurt him and the Huo family."
Xie Ziyuan said softly, "Actually, if the company is gone, it's gone. The veterans within the Huo Group have different ideas, and they're too powerful to control. Every cloud has a silver lining. Brother Yun Tang has a business mind and talent; it's only a matter of time before he makes a comeback. Besides, he's already entered the world of ancient martial arts. Once he reaches the pinnacle of that world, what can't he have?"
Grandpa Huo was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Good child, you're right. I was limiting myself."
Yes, why did he go through all that trouble to move the Huo family's center to the capital?
Isn't it all for the sake of entering the world of ancient martial arts and medicine, and joining the ranks of top-tier families?
If one's vision is limited to the small town of Linjiang City and one only thinks about the mere Huo Group, then one will never make progress and will forever remain a frog in a well in Linjiang City.
The Huo family has been attaching themselves to the Zhao and Bai families, and these days they have also opened a small company in the capital, specializing in the research and development of Chinese medicinal materials. It is now showing promise, and with Xie Ziyuan's help in the future, they will surely have no trouble making money.
Old Master Huo's eyes flickered, and he became even more certain that Xie Ziyuan was a rare talent, the only choice for his granddaughter-in-law, and a chosen one who could bring glory and honor to the Huo family!

Xie Ziyuan did not expect that after Old Master Huo extended an olive branch to her once again, expressing a strong desire to restore the engagement, Ding Ruoxu also spoke with him.
"Ziyuan, Huo Yuntang is no longer good enough for you. I don't recommend that you stay with him. You should cut off all contact with him from now on!"
"Uncle?" Xie Ziyuan looked at him in surprise. "No, I can't do that!"
Ding Ruoxu's expression darkened slightly. Women are like that; they're all short-sighted and don't even know what love is.
"Huo Yuntang was planning to marry Xie Li before, can you swallow this insult? He used to be arrogant, fine, the Huo family had the power. But what does the Huo family have now?"
Ding Ruoxu's view of the problem is the simplest and most direct: if someone can't even protect the Huo Group, then they're just a waste!
Xie Ziyuan is a phoenix he has carefully cultivated for many years, destined to soar to the heavens. How dare the mere Huo family covet her?
Xie Ziyuan's lips moved slightly, "Uncle..."
Ding Ruoxu looked at her intently, "Ziyuan, don't forget how I taught you since you were little."
Xie Ziyuan remained silent for a moment.
Ding Ruoxu stood up. "I think Shen Linyuan is quite good. He has a decent position in the Shen family, the richest family in the country. Of course, if you can get close to the head of the Shen family, that would be even better."
He hadn't dared to imagine many things before, but now Xie Ziyuan held the inheritance of the entire Xie family's traditional Chinese medicine, and her future achievements in the field of traditional Chinese medicine would be unmatched.
