Huo Jinyan swallowed the bun in his mouth and contemplated for a moment before he asked her. "I know of a Chinese herb market, but they sell wholesale Chinese herbs. Is that what you are looking for?"
Huo Yao nodded.
"Why are you suddenly asking about the Chinese herb market?" asked Huo Jinyan curiously.
Huo Yao lowered her head and ate her porridge before she replied unhurriedly. "I need to buy some Chinese herbs. They are useful."
Huo Jinyan contemplated for a few seconds when he heard his daughter's brief reply. He did not probe further and only said, "There's money in the card I gave you. Don't be stingy with it."
Huo Yao's lips twitched and she replied vaguely. "Okay."
Huo Jinyan suddenly looked melancholic when he noticed that his daughter did not take his advice to heart.
Back when Lu Xia was still in the family, she always tried to get money from them. Although they were not short of money, Huo Jinyan and his wife did not want her to grow up to be a spoiled child. Hence, they controlled her from a young age and gave her a living allowance without telling her about their family's financial situation.
However, they did not expect that the Lu family would treat them harshly. It also became an excuse for Lu Xia to leave them without any hesitation and return to her rich parents. It was rather ironic.
Looking at his biological daughter, although she had lived a hard life since she was young, she had never bought anything even when they gave her money intentionally or unintentionally. She had never even touched the money in her card. She even had the attitude of saying that her family was not rich and did not want to spend money casually.
This made the parents feel both gratified and sad. Their family's most intelligent and adorable little baby must have suffered a lot to develop her current personality. Therefore, he and his wife decided that no matter what she wanted, they would try their best to satisfy her and make up for all these years of debt.
But Huo Jinyan could not help sighing at the thought of the unopened black card he had sent to Huo Jinyan.
"Sigh!"
Huo Yao could not help glancing at her father quizzically when she heard his sudden sigh. "What's wrong?"
To her surprise, Huo Jinyan sighed deeply again. He looked at Huo Yao bitterly without saying a word and looked pitiful.
Huo Yao, "???"

As soon as Huo Yao arrived at school, she was called to the office for the umpteenth time this semester. The student who passed on the message secretly told her that the class advisor didn't look too good and warned her not to step on a landmine.
Huo Yao smiled and thanked him before heading to her office.
As expected, Huo Yao saw Chen Yu's gloomy face the moment she walked in. She touched the tip of her nose in confusion. Did she do badly for her language test?
Huo Yao walked over and greeted him obediently. "Miss Chen, were you looking for me?"
Chen Yu looked at Huo Yao with a complicated expression on her face. After some time, she finally said in a muffled voice, "Huo Yao, do you have a problem with me being the homeroom teacher?"
Huo Yao's lips twitched. She did not know how to respond.
"The results of the monthly test are basically out. Your results in all subjects are quite outstanding, but your language …"
Chen Yu paused. She could not help pounding her chest at the thought of how she felt when she saw Huo Yao's Chinese paper today.
