Pei Rong pursed his lips and replied almost without hesitation. "Impossible."
He had already made it this far. He had even schemed against the Min family. There was no way he could give up, and he had no choice but to do so.
After all, there was no turning back from the moment he took the incense from Vice President Qin.
If he gave up, he would not only offend Vice President Qin.
Pei Rong composed himself. He did not want to listen to his father's words that would affect his mood.
He stood up and made his stance clear. "I don't want to argue with you. There's no point in arguing with you. Anyway, Vice President Qin has the prescription. If you want to save Min Yu, get Huo Yao to give him the prescription."
Said Pei Rong coldly.
Old Mr. Pei opened his mouth. Seeing Pei Rong like this, he knew he could not persuade him, so he shut his mouth and closed his eyes. Suddenly, he recalled something and called out to Pei Rong before he left.
"Let me ask you one last question. Did you have anything to do with Young Master Min's condition?"
Pei Rong clenched his fists and turned to look at Old Mr. Pei. His expression was calm, and no one could tell that something was amiss. "No. Offending Min Yu won't do us any good. His health condition... It just so happened that Vice President Qin got a chance to get the prescription."
Old Mr. Pei looked at Pei Rong calmly. He did not know if he should believe him or lie to himself. In the end, he said bitterly, "Pei Rong, I hope you won't regret your decision in the future."
"I won't." Pei Rong clenched his fists coldly.
Then he flung his sleeves and strode out of the living room.
Old Mr. Pei leaned against the couch weakly. The discomfort in his chest could not overcome his disappointment with Pei Rong.
If only he had not come to the capital. Perhaps things would not have turned out this way.

The next day, Old Mr. Pei sent Huo Yao a text message after thinking for a whole night.
He knew she was still in class, so he asked her to meet him at a restaurant near the school.
Huo Yao assumed that Old Mr. Pei wanted to discuss Min Yu's condition, so she went over at 11: 30 am.
Old Mr. Pei had booked a private room. After the waiter left, Huo Yao looked at Old Mr. Pei's pale face and asked him. "Are you feeling unwell? Shall I take your pulse? "
Old Mr. Pei smiled and waved his hand. "It's fine. I didn't sleep well last night."
Huo Yao glanced at Old Mr. Pei and contemplated before she said, "You don't have to worry about Min Yu's health."
A bitter smile appeared on Old Mr. Pei's face at the mention of Min Yu's condition. Before Huo Yao could continue, he said, "I wanted to talk to you about Young Master Min's condition."
Huo Yao's fingers paused as she held the teacup. She looked at Old Mr. Pei in surprise and waited for him to continue.
"Vice President Qin Zheng of the Medicine Association has a special medicine that should be able to cure Young Master Min..." Old Mr. Pei paused before he told Huo Yao about the rumors surrounding the Shangguan clan.
Huo Yao had a strange look on her face. She stopped tapping her fingers on the table and said, "Old Mr. Pei, are you saying that Vice Chairman Qin knows the Shangguan clan?"
Old Mr. Pei recalled Pei Rong's words last night and nodded. "I think so."
Huo Yao instantly laughed. The real Gu Xijiu had yet to appear, but so many people were trying to impersonate her.
How interesting.
