Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Chapter 96: No Intention Of Telling Their Daughter The Truth About Their Family

Huo Jinyan brought his wife and daughter to a famous seafood restaurant in the city.

After getting off the car, Huo Yao stared at the restaurant’s magnificent décor. Every inch of the restaurant looked so posh that she went into a daze.

Huo Jinyan dropped the ladies off before going to park the car. Song Ning turned to look at her daughter in confusion when she noticed that her daughter had not followed her. She turned around and asked her. “Yaoyao, why have you stopped?”

Huo Yao blinked and said solemnly, “I’m wondering how much it would cost to dine here. After all, we aren’t rich.”

Her daughter’s words tickled Song Ning. With a composed face, she said, “Don’t worry. We can dine here every day if you like. We can afford it.”

After all, this restaurant was their family’s business.

Their daughter had mistakenly thought that they were poor. Since both Song Ning and Huo Jinyan found it entertaining, they had decided not to tell their daughter about their family’s true financial situation.

Huo Yao teasingly replied when she heard Song Ning. “I have a feeling that you are hiding a lot of things from me.”

Their family, which was known to be poor, had started to appear less and less impoverished to Huo Yao.

Song Ning coughed and said, “No, we aren’t hiding anything.”

Huo Yao simply said, “Ohhhhh.” She dragged her last note for long and clearly did not believe Song Ning.

The restaurant manager had already gotten a call from their boss, so he stood at the door waiting for them. When he caught sight of Song Ning, he quickly walked out to welcome them and said respectfully, “Madam, you’re here.”

Huo Yao raised her brow when she heard the greeting. Her eyes landed ambiguously on her mother as if saying, “Is this your so-called ‘no, we aren’t hiding anything’?”

Song Ning rubbed the space between her brows.

Oops! Busted!

Song Ning cleared her throat and told herself not to panic. Then she nodded to the restaurant manager indifferently before telling Huo Yao with a straight face. “What do you think? Doesn’t this restaurant have great service?”

The restaurant manager went, “...”

Did the lady boss just praise him?

Huo Yao’s lips twitched. She glanced at the man, who was still bowing at them. It definitely seemed as though she was going further and further away from poverty.

After some time, Huo Yao nodded and said, “Yes, it’s pretty good.”

“Carry on. We will go to the private room on our own,” said Song Ning as she eyed the restaurant manager and signaled for him to leave.

Although the restaurant manager had no idea what the lady boss was up to, he naturally understood what she wanted. He was an employee who was sharp and observant.

Very quickly, the restaurant manager left and told the staff not to disturb the Huo family while they were enjoying their meal.

Song Ning was happy with the restaurant manager’s reaction. She pulled her daughter along and went upstairs to the Huos private room on the second floor.

The private room was huge, and its décor was extravagant and opulent.

“Yao, what would you like to have?” asked Song Ning as she placed the menu in front of Huo Yao and told her to order whatever she liked.

Huo Yao picked up the menu and flipped to the first page. When she caught sight of the price, she went quiet again.

Huo Yao felt as though she was following the wrong plot.

After parking the car, Huo Jinyan reached the restaurant. He rolled up his sleeves and said, “Tingrui called to say he’s coming over to eat with us.”

Song Ning was caught by surprise. “Is he back?”

“Mhm. He came back yesterday,” said Huo Jinyan as he nodded and looked sideways at his daughter.

“Yaoyao, you’ll get to see your second older brother in a few moments.”

Huo Yao asked as she handed the menu back to him. “What does my second older brother do for a living?”
