Chapter 857: Chapter 857: Adding Another Good Friend!

“The Huo Family Consortium is a very ancient conglomerate, and with such age come many unspoken rules.”

“One of them is that the heir to the family business must be male!”

“And I, as the only heir to the Huo Family, am unfortunately a daughter!” When Huo Siyu got to this point, her hands had already started to tremble uncontrollably.

“What year is it now, how can there still be such a rule?” Jian Dan simply couldn’t believe her ears.

Such gender preference still existed in today’s society, and even within such a large consortium.

“Heh,” Huo Siyu scoffed. “My mother was injured during my birth and was unable to have any more children. Because she didn’t bear a son for the Huo Family, she always felt guilty, even to the point of telling my father to find other women!”

“But my hungry father loved my mother very much, so he didn’t do that.”

Jian Dan nodded unconsciously upon hearing this, her eyes filled with emotion.

“Although my father would rather be without an heir than be unfaithful to my mother, she couldn’t bear to watch him lose everything for her, so she made a decision, which was to tell everyone that she had given birth to a son!”

My father initially didn’t agree, but he couldn’t win against my mother, and in the end, he had no choice but to agree.

“So I was raised as a son from a young age. In the eyes of others, I am the only son and sole heir of the Huo Family Consortium!”

At this point, Jian Dan’s eyes had already moistened.

What kind of experience it must have been for a girl to live as a boy all these years!

Jian Dan dared not think about it, nor could she imagine it!

“Then how did those people just now find out!” It had been kept a secret for so many years, how could it suddenly be discovered by others?

“Because I have never had a girlfriend, nor have I had any plans to get married, so over the past few years, other branches of the family started to doubt my identity.

They have been secretly investigating me, so this kind of thing has happened many times before, but this time it was more excessive, they even wanted to directly…” Huo Siyu’s fist hit the coffee table in front of her.

“Just now, I felt like I had time-traveled for a moment,” Jian Dan chuckled coldly.

A real-life version of palace intrigue?

A palace drama!

Jian Dan felt her brain was struggling to keep up.

“I really thank you for what happened today. If you ever need help in the future, just ask!” If it weren’t for Jian Dan’s words today, her identity might have already been exposed.

“Don’t worry, I really didn’t do much!”

“To me, it is a tremendous favor!” Huo Siyu said sincerely.

“From what you’re saying, it seems like I really helped you a lot! Should I expect lots of benefits?” Jian Dan’s tone suddenly shifted.

Huo Siyu’s brow furrowed when she heard Jian Dan’s change in tone, but she quickly returned to normal.

Jian Dan noticed the fleeting change nonetheless.

However, Jian Dan was not upset by it.

In their world, full of deceit and cunning, she had seen quite a bit after marrying her uncle.

But her uncle had protected her so well that she hadn’t been exposed to much!

“Whatever you want, as long as it’s within my power, I will do my best to fulfill it!” Huo Siyu said lightly, showing no sign of distress in her expression.

Jian Dan chuckled to herself, but her face did not betray her amusement. “Then I’ll say it, but I’m very greedy, you know!” Jian Dan deliberately said this.

Huo Siyu was slightly taken aback, “Okay, go ahead!”

“Then I’m going to say it…” Jian Dan purposely drew out her speech, wanting to see Huo Siyu’s reaction.

When Jian Dan got playful, she really could play with anyone and anything!

Seeing Huo Siyu’s expression beginning to change, Jian Dan’s smile grew more pronounced. “That is… to become friends with me!” At the moment Jian Dan spoke, Huo Siyu’s face was no longer calm but filled with astonishment.

The moment Jian Dan could no longer hold back, she laughed out loud. “Siyu, your reaction just now was too funny!

Can I call you Siyu?”

Looking puzzled at the girl laughing uproariously before her, Huo Siyu fell into thought…
