Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Chapter 853: An Aunt From The Song Family

Huo Yao looked at Yuan Xi sideways. She took her laptop from under her pillow and placed it inside her luggage before she asked. “Where is your hometown?”

“I am a local,” replied Yuan Xi.

Huo Yao was a little surprised. She always thought that this young woman was from out of town. After all, Yuan Xi had a slightly different accent.

“Aren’t you going home for the holiday?” asked Huo Yao.

Yuan Xi lowered her eyes slightly and seemed unenthusiastic about the topic. “I’ll pass. I am sick of staying home. It is more fun staying on campus, so I prefer to live here.”

Huo Yao noticed something amiss with Yuan Xi’s expression, but simply acknowledged softly without probing.

After Huo Yao was more or less done packing her luggage, her phone rang in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was Chen Ming calling, so she promptly answered it.

“Huh? Is Uncle Changfeng in town? In that case, I will be out in a minute.”

After Huo Yao hung up the phone, she contemplated for a couple of seconds before she sent Min Yu a text message, telling him not to wait for her.

Huo Yao put her phone away before she looked at Yuan Xi. “I’m off.”

“Uh huh.” Yuan Xi waved goodbye to Huo Yao.

Huo Yao nodded and pulled her luggage, walking out of the dormitory.

**

The women’s dormitory was some distance from the campus entrance and no one was permitted to enter without a school or students’ pass.

Huo Yao went downstairs, walked out the glass door, and headed towards the school entrance with her luggage. After barely taking a few steps, a middle-aged man stopped her.

Huo Yao stood with her hand on her suitcase handle as she looked at the middle-aged man and found him to be familiar.

Thanks to her perfect memory, she could remember where she had met him almost instantly.

Her parents had organized a party to celebrate when she ranked first in the college entrance exam. She had a brief encounter with the man at the party.

He stood by the roadside and watched as she walked over and only stopped her when she reached there.

He was clearly waiting for her.

Huo Yao looked at him calmly without taking the initiative to speak.

Zhu felt a little surprised in his heart as he looked at the young woman.

The last time when he had a brief encounter with her, he simply felt she was rude and had no class to speak of. However, there was something different about her today.

Why did she have a similar aura as Miss Ji Ya?

Zhu quickly recalled why he was here today and composed himself before he said, “Miss Huo, Mrs. Ji would like to see you. She is family.”

Family?

Huo Yao narrowed her eyes and felt puzzled by what he said.

Zhu noticed the look in her eyes and explained. “Mrs. Ji’s maiden name is Song Qi. She is your mother’s biological younger sister.”

No wonder he claimed that the woman was family.

Huo Yao remained cold. “What do you want from me?”

Zhu was unsure if Song Ning had told Huo Yao about the Song family. When he saw her react so distantly, he contemplated for a few seconds before he decided to keep Old Master Song’s sickness from her for the time being.

Zhu smiled as he said genially, “Your youngest aunt found out you were studying in the capital, so she keeps talking about wanting to see you.”

Huo Yao looked at him sternly before she said, “My mother didn’t tell me about an aunt.”

Song Ning had never mentioned anyone from the Song family. It felt as though they didn’t exist.

If Song Ning did not mention them, it could only mean they were insignificant to her.

Moreover, if her so-called youngest aunt wanted to see her so desperately, she would have come personally instead of sending her subordinate.
