Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Jiang Mingyue noticed Mu Qing’s silence and did not continue with the subject.

He was a smart man, so he just needed a quick hint.

She looked out of the car window at the flickering neon lights and the shops outside. Even though it was a big city, it could not compare to the capital.

Fortunately, she was heading back tomorrow.

Jiang Mingyue exhaled. If not for Principal Yu’s invitation, she would not have agreed to come back.

Huo Tingrui did not come home for two days after his birthday and dumped Goofy at the Huo residence.

Huo Yao thought Goofy was a quiet puppy, but quickly learned that she had surprisingly misjudged his character.

Every time she got home after school, the puppy kept running around her. If she did not pay him any attention, he would bite her pant legs. Despite his young age, he was an absolute terror.

No wonder people online kept saying how energetic and mischievous huskies were.

She entered the house today and saw her father packing things up angrily. It was Goofy’s stuff.

Huo Yao put her school back down and asked quizzically. “Dad?”

“I will send Goofy over to Tingrui’s place in a minute,” said Huo Jinyan angrily.

There was no reason for a father to help raise his son’s son.

Huo Yao’s lips twitched. “What happened?”

The moment she brought this up, Huo Jinyan even had trouble breathing. “The stupid dog broke my vase.”

“Which vase?” Huo Yao’s temples throbbed as she glanced around the living room. “Don’t tell me it’s the blue and white porcelain vase that used to be displayed here?”

“That’s the one!” said Huo Jinyan as he gritted his teeth. It was a Song Dynasty artifact!

Huo Yao pressed her forehead. Goofy had cost her $10 000. In just a matter of days, their family had lost millions. Sure enough, he was an oil guzzler.

Huo Yao put down her hand and said solemnly, “Dad, I am on your side. Are you done packing? Do you need my help?”

“I am done packing, but I have trouble carrying the stuff over. Why don’t you come along with me?” said Huo Jinyan after giving it some thought.

“Sure,” acknowledged Huo Yao since she was free.

Huo Jinyan felt sorry about the antiques and Huo Yao felt bad about the money, so they quickly brought Goofy straight to Huo Tingrui’s place.

Huo Tingrui’s place was also amongst the top ten high-end estates in town, so its surroundings were beautiful and offered great convenience.

The two of them took the lift to the 15th story and walked up to apartment number 1501. Huo Jinyan placed the box on the ground and entered the password on the thumbprint lock.

Huo Yao held the dog leash as she stood beside him and heard the security system prompting them that the password was incorrect.

“Wrong password?” Huo Jinyan frowned. “That’s impossible. The password is correct.”

He cautiously entered the numbers again only to hear the same notification.

Huo Jinyan instantly looked annoyed. “Did that stupid boy change the password?”

Huo Yao raised her head and glanced at the digital lock and said, “Dad, let me give it a shot.”

Huo Jinyan turned to look at his daughter. “Do you know the password?”

“Uh huh.” Huo Yao nodded with a straight face.

Huo Jinyan was completely unsuspecting. He stood aside and took the dog leash.

Huo Yao took two steps forward and quickly tapped on the security panel. The security system software popped up on the screen and the lock quickly beeped when she succeeded in opening the door.

Huo Yao pulled her hand back. “All done.”

Huo Jinyan blinked perplexedly. “Were you entering the password earlier?”

Why did he have a feeling that she did not enter the password the same way?
