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.
