Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Huo Yao held her phone and became upset when she heard what Lei Xiao said, so she interrupted him: [Stop it.]

She had just spent all the red packets she received for her birthday and did not want to talk about money.

Lei Xiao cleared his throat and thought that he was out of line and stopped talking immediately.

Although Huo Yao was very young, it was hard for him to treat her like an ordinary 18 year old young woman.

He felt that talking to Huo Yao about money was an insult.

[I will buy you dinner when you come over.] Lei Xiao promptly changed the subject.

Song Ning was rushing Huo Yao from outside the room. Huo Yao raised her head and looked at the door. She sadly acknowledged Lei Xiao’s offer before she stopped talking to him and ended the conversation.

Since they were celebrating today, Huo Yao changed clothes before leaving the room.

The banquet was being held at the most famous five-star restaurant in the city. The moment Huo Yao entered the restaurant, she saw a banner hanging overhead, congratulating her for becoming the top scholar. They had also laid out the red carpet and the entire atmosphere looked particularly festive.

It was slightly past 10:00 am and some of the guests had already arrived. Song Ning and Huo Jinyan said hello to their guests before introducing their daughter to them.

Huo Yao chatted briefly before she saw Min Yu at the entrance. She paused before she headed over. “You are here.”

“Uh huh.” Min Yu nodded. He handed her a present right away.

Huo Yao raised her brow. “You didn’t have to.”

Min Yu smiled gently. He stood at the entrance and took a glance inside the restaurant before he said, “I have something urgent to handle, so I can’t stay. Please apologize to your parents on my behalf.”

A lot of guests were arriving at the restaurant entrance and the place was starting to get lively.

Huo Yao glanced at Min Yu. She handed the gift to the staff at the entrance and said, “It’s fine. Shall we go out and talk?”

Min Yu nodded.

The two of them left the restaurant together.

It was July, so the sun was very strong and the temperature was at its hottest. Min Yu turned sideways slightly to help block the sun for Huo Yao.

A luxurious car pulled up nearby and the front passenger car window rolled down halfway.

“Is Ning holding her party at this restaurant?” asked a woman as she looked in the direction of the restaurant. The woman sat in the back seat wearing sunglasses, so it was impossible to see her face.

“That’s right. I have already investigated it. Her daughter is the top scholar at the national college entrance exam, so she invited some friends to celebrate,” answered the butler reverently from the driver seat.

The woman adjusted her sunglasses as she pursed her red lips and sounded surprised. “Top scholar?”

“That’s right. She is just the top scholar for the arts division. I heard she was swapped at birth and grew up in the countryside. She was only reunited with the family last year,” said the butler softly.

The woman’s face turned cold. She looked out of the window and tapped her varnished nails before she said, “Tell Ning I am waiting for her outside.”

“Yes.” The butler nodded before undoing his seatbelt and getting off the car. He walked to the restaurant unhurriedly.

On this end.

Min Yu chatted with Huo Yao briefly before he contemplated and explained. “I have to go to the capital. Zhuo Yun will buy the Chinese herbs you want. Look out for the deliveries.”

Huo Yao raised her brow. “Sure.”
