Chapter 1839: Interested in the Treasure
Deacon Ding glanced at Huo Yao carefully. For some reason, he felt a faint sense of danger in the air.
Huo Yao restrained his emotions, as if the smile just now had never appeared, and said: "The cooperation with Shangyi Town will not go wrong, you don't have to worry."
Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, but strangely, it calmed down the anxiety that had been floating in Deacon Ding's heart for the past two days. He sighed, and then said to Huo Yao solemnly, "No matter what, I will do my best to help you complete this task."
Seeing that Deacon Ding obviously didn't take her words seriously, Huo Yao didn't explain any further, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's all part of my job. You're too polite, Miss." Deacon Ding nodded. He didn't stay in the Huo family manor for long and left after a while.
As soon as Deacon Ding walked out of the door, someone called him.
"Our lady invites you to come over for a gathering." This person was Melissa's servant.
Deacon Ding saw the direction the servant was pointing, paused, and finally followed the other person.
Huo Wanying went out early this morning, so only Melissa was there. When Deacon Ding was brought in by the servant, she was arranging flowers in the hall.
"What do you want from me, ma'am?"
Melissa behaved elegantly and did not stop arranging flowers. She just looked up at Deacon Ding and said, "I have a favor to ask of you."
Deacon Ding's eyes shone, "Madam, please speak."
"What do you think of the evening cherry blossoms?" Melissa asked casually.
"Miss Wanying is intelligent and capable, and has considerable strength. She is undoubtedly the pillar of the younger generation." Deacon Ding commented truthfully.
Melissa had heard countless words praising her daughter over the years. At this moment, she finally looked directly at Deacon Ding with a sharp gaze: "So do you think she would be more suitable to be the heir?"
Deacon Ding's pupils shrank, and almost the moment their eyes met, he understood what Melissa wanted him to do.
There is only one heir, so...
Deacon Ding smiled politely at this time and said, "It's hard to comment on this. After all, the assessment is not over yet."
Melissa listened to Deacon Ding's evasion and couldn't help but smile, "Isn't the result obvious?"
Deacon Ding did not respond.
"He who knows the times is a hero." Melissa said lightly, then reached out and picked up the scissors in front of her, and casually trimmed the flowers in the vase again.
Deacon Ding was able to sit in the position of deacon, and it was definitely not an empty title. Moreover, he had worked with Master Feng for so many years, and his pride would not tolerate a woman's threat. His voice became cold and hard: "If Madam has nothing else to do, I will leave first."
Does this mean you don't listen to advice?
Melissa tightened her hand, and a rose fell onto the table under the scissors, leaving only the bare branch standing in the vase.
Deacon Ding didn't even wait for Melissa to respond. He turned around and strode out.
Soon he disappeared.
Seeing this, Melissa was so angry that she knocked the vase in front of her to the ground, "How shameless! What a jerk!"
When her daughter takes over the Huo family in the future, she will be the first to kick him out!

After meeting with Deacon Ding, Huo Yao thought about the information he got from Yun Zhijing yesterday, so he went to the villa where Min Yu lived.
Yang Yi and Zhuo Yun were also there at this time.
"What did you say on the phone just now? " Min Yu looked at Huo Yao and asked.
Huo Yao nodded, but his eyes deliberately passed over Zhuo Yun's face, and he said slowly: "I am quite interested in the treasure you mentioned last time."
When Yang Yi heard this, he was suddenly choked by his own saliva, "Ahem..."
