When Huo Xuan heard this, he looked up at Huo Tao and asked with a frown, “The two of them are going to the auction too? Could it be that they’re also going to fight for the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb?”

Huo Tao pondered for a moment and seemed to have recalled something. He touched his chin and replied, “I heard that quite a number of big foreign families have come to Beijing. One of the family heads has an incurable illness. I think they want to buy the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb to fawn on him.”

Upon hearing Huo Tao’s words, Mo Zhu nodded in understanding. The Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb was a treasure that only appeared once in a hundred years. It was normal for all the families to be eager to try to obtain it.

At this moment, Old Master Huo could also tell from their conversation that his grandson wanted the Pine Snow Herb. He looked at Huo Xuan kindly and said with a smile, “Why? Does Xuan’er also want to go to the auction to buy the Pine Snow Herb?”

Huo Xuan was a little stunned. He looked up and nodded as he pointed at Mo Zhu. “Xiao Zhu’s grandmother is sick. With her current medical skills, she’s a little helpless. We heard that the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb has a miraculous effect on this illness, so we came to Beijing this time to try our luck at the auction.”

Old Master Huo held Mo Zhu’s hand and paused for a moment before instructing Huo Xuan seriously, “Since Xiao Zhu needs it, we naturally have to do our best to bid for it. Xuan’er, don’t worry about your second uncle and sixth aunt. In a while, I’ll get my secretary to arrange and consolidate the Huo family’s liquid funds. You can use it during the action. You must successfully obtain the Pine Snow Herb to save Xiao Zhu’s grandma.”

Mo Zhu was very touched by Old Master Huo’s words. For some reason, she felt a lump in her throat. She raised her hand, rubbed her nose, and said to Old Master Huo with a smile, “Thank you grandpa.”

On the other hand, Old Master Huo raised his hand and patted the girl’s shoulder happily. “Girl, why are you so polite to me? We’re all family. There’s no need to thank me. It’s already so late today, and I’m tired. You guys go back and rest early. Let’s have a good reunion dinner tomorrow.”

Everyone agreed with a smile.

The next afternoon, Old Master Huo felt much better after he had consumed medicine for a day. He instructed the Huo family’s kitchen to prepare a huge table of food and invited the four of them to the main hall for lunch at noon.

Just as Mo Zhu sat down beside Huo Xuan, her phone in her pocket vibrated. She took out her phone and saw that the caller ID was the phone number Cheng Yi usually used. She frowned slightly and stood up to approach Huo Xuan. “You all can eat first, I’ll go answer a call.”

After casually finding a corner that no one was paying attention to, Mo Zhu raised her hand and pressed the answer button. Cheng Yi’s deep voice came from the phone.

“You’ve arrived in Beijing?”

Mo Zhu replied indifferently, “Yes, why are you looking for me? Do you have news of the auction?”

Just as he finished speaking, Cheng Yi continued, “That’s right. The Gao family’s master personally contacted the Love Pavilion this morning and asked us to send someone to assist in maintaining the order of the auction. He even offered an irresistible price.”

“You agreed to it?” Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows.

“Not yet. The Gao family is the organizer of the auction after all. Since you think so highly of this auction, I think I have to ask for your opinion on this matter.” Cheng Yi had been in charge of the Pavilion of Love for so many years and he was very careful with his words and actions.

Mo Zhu thought for a moment, rubbed her palms, and replied, “You can agree to this, but you have to personally ask the Gao family’s master for an admission ticket to the auction. I’ll send you an address later and you can send it to me. Coincidentally, I’m too lazy to try to obtain the admission ticket to the auction myself.”

After saying this, and after Cheng Yi agreed to it, Mo Zhu hung up and returned to the dining table. When she sat down, Huo Tao and Huo Xuan were also discussing the auction tickets to the Gao family’s auction.

Mo Zhu pulled out a chair and sat down. She turned her head to look at Huo Xuan and interrupted, “I’ve already sent someone to get the tickets. We can enter together when the time comes.”

Huo Xuan nodded as he placed food into Mo Zhu’s bowl. “Alright, I’ll make the arrangements first. It’s not convenient for Mo Jiu to go tomorrow, so I’ll let Mo Wu follow us..”
