Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Lin Shuwen went stiff for a moment and even his eyes were dazed. Fortunately, he was a resilient man. Since Huo Yao did not like his presence here, he swallowed the perfunctory words he was about to say and said, “Sorry for coming over unannounced.”

Lin Shuwen did not sound displeased at all. Instead, he sounded sincerely apologetic.

If anyone else spoke to him this way, he would have told the guy to get lost, but Huo Yao was different and he could not afford to offend her.

A look of shock rose in Song Ning and Huo Jinyan’s eyes.

From the moment Lin Shuwen entered the door, the two of them could detect that he was no ordinary man. The powerful aura of a government official radiated from him. Even though he did his best to suppress his persona and sounded courteous, they could detect it.

Hence, it was very strange that a man like him would apologize to their daughter.

Song Ning wanted to say something, but Huo Jinyan patted her hand and glanced at her. He shook his head slightly and gestured to her to stay quiet.

Song Ning leaned back into the couch.

Huo Yao did not notice her parents’ expression. She continued looking at Lin Shuwen as she said, “If you need me, you can just call me.”

Lin Shuwen instantly knew what Huo Yao was driving at.

Huo Yao was probably unhappy that he had disturbed her parents.

Lin Shuwen sighed in his heart. Fortunately, he did not tell her parents much when he came. He hadn’t mentioned that she treated a patient. Considering Fang Chen’s special identity, it would be safer to keep his condition a secret.

“I should have called before I came. I’m so sorry, Miss Huo,” apologized Lin Shuwen again politely.

“Uh huh,” acknowledged Huo Yao softly. Since they were at home and her parents were looking at her, she suppressed her coldness.

She had to keep up her sweet and obedient image at home.

Lin Shuwen’s tense face relaxed a little when he detected a change in Huo Yao’s attitude.

He might be patronizing towards Pei Rong, but he knew he had to treat the young lady politely since she was helping in treating Fang Chen.

Huo Yao raised her hand to check the time before she asked him. “Anything else, Mr. Lin?”

She was clearly telling him to leave.

“That’s all. I only came to send you the gifts,” replied Lin Shuwen. He paused for two seconds before he looked at Huo Yao. “Can you find the time to come by and check on him in a couple of days?”

Huo Yao seemed receptive to his request. “Sure.”

Lin Shuwen heaved a sigh of relief and said, “We can fix a time over the phone. In that case, I shall take my leave.”

He turned to nod to Huo Jinyan and Song Ning slightly before he quickly left.

Out of courtesy, Huo Jinyan stood up and saw Lin Shuwen out the door.

After he left, Song Ning waved at her daughter and patted on the seat beside her, gesturing to Huo Yao to sit down.

Huo Yao pressed her forehead before she walked over and sat down.

“Exactly who was that? Why did he come over specially to thank you?” asked Song Ning.

The man merely said he was here to thank Huo Yao but did not divulge any details.

She overheard her daughter talking about consultation fees but did not know what the fee was for.
