Chapter 854: Who Did She Think She Was?

The smile on Zhu’s face froze slightly. Although he expected Song Ning not to have mentioned the Song family to Huo Yao, he inexplicably felt annoyed.

Huo Yao sounded cold and distant and she looked really rude.

Would any normal person react this way when they heard about their extended family?

Zhu suppressed his anger and explained. “Your mother, Song Ning, ran away from home for years due to special reasons. Even though she did not come home all this time, it doesn’t change the fact that she is a Song. Your aunt is very concerned about you and your mother.”

He paused before he continued trying to convince Huo Yao. “Your aunt is worried you might have trouble acclimating to the capital. Since you were undergoing military training all this while, she asked me to bring you to the Song residence after you are done. She really wants to see you…”

Huo Yao pondered over his words. Did he think she was an idiot?

If they did not want something from her, would they suddenly reach out to her after all these years?

If this so-called aunt was really keen on seeing her, why would she send a man with disrespect plastered all over his face to send a message?

Huo Yao sneered. She did not want to waste her time listening to this bullshit, so she raised her hand to stop him from talking before she said impatiently, “Don’t bother beating around the bush. Just get to the point.”

Zhu choked when Huo Yao spoke so bluntly. He has seen all kinds of people in his life. Since Huo Yao was unmoved by what he said, he probably realized that normal methods were not going to work on her.

Huo Yao had the same kind of personality as Song Ning when she was young.

No wonder he found her unlikeable at the get-go.

Zhu inhaled deeply and looked a little angry. “I don’t know the reason she is seeking you. You will know when you see your aunt.”

“I understand. In that case, I am not interested. Also, I am not keen on seeing some unknown woman.” The moment she finished her sentence, Huo Yao walked off with her luggage.

Zhu was stunned. He turned to look at Huo Yao from behind and wanted to run after her, but felt it was beneath him, so he changed his mind.

Who did she think she was?

He took out his phone and called Song Qi.

Song Qi was at the hospital. She had just gone to the hospital president’s office to ask about Old Master Song’s condition. “… Huh? Does she refuse to see us? Was her attitude very poor?”

Zhu stood where he was and replied. He told Song Qi about the girl’s reaction without any embellishment whatsoever. He pondered before he added., “However, I don’t think Miss Ning has told her daughter about the Song family.”

Song Qi stood in the hospital corridor where it was quiet and laughed softly. “I am sure Ning didn’t tell her about us. After all, she has already severed ties with us.”

Song Qi pondered before she asked. “Did you tell Ning or her daughter about the family’s situation?”

“No, I didn’t,” answered Zhu hurriedly.

He could understand Song Qi’s concerns. She was worried that Huo Yao might throw herself at the Song family if she found out they were wealthy.

Zhu paused before he asked. “She refuses to see you and doesn’t want to come with me. What should I do now?”

Song Qi thought about what the hospital president told her about her father’s condition and rubbed her forehead. “My father can’t afford to wait. No, this won’t do. I will go to meet her personally.”

Zhu instantly frowned when he heard this and disagreed. “You have high social status, so you shouldn’t have to come personally.”

He watched as Huo Yao walked off and contemplated before he said, “She hasn’t gone far. Why don’t I run after her and try again?”
