Old Mr. Pei was stunned to see Huo Yao's sudden smile.
He felt that this laughter was weird.
Huo Yao looked past Old Mr. Pei and took a sip of her tea unhurriedly. She did not ask about the Shangguan clan. "So, what's Vice Chairman Qin's condition?"
Old Mr. Pei did not expect Huo Yao to be so perceptive and figure out the truth so quickly. He smiled bitterly and replied. "The prescription."
Huo Yao did not look surprised. She had already guessed it earlier.
"It's our family's misfortune. Pei Rong... is working for Qin Zheng, and Qin Zheng is not a kind person."
Old Mr. Pei did not know much about Qin Zheng and had only met him once or twice. However, based on the prescription, he could roughly tell what kind of person Qin Zheng was.
Huo Yao looked at him calmly. "I know." She raised her head to look at Old Mr. Pei. "If I'm right, Vice Chairman Qin must have told me about Min Yu's relapse, right?"
Old Mr. Pei had nothing to hide now that things had come to this. "Yes."
Huo Yao nodded. Zhuo Yun had briefly mentioned Min Yu's relapse. It seemed like Qin Zheng had something to do with it.
Only someone who was familiar with Min Yu's condition and medicine would be able to extract the hidden ailment from his body without anyone noticing.
As for the person behind Qin Zheng... Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. She was curious.
Old Mr. Pei glanced at Huo Yao. She had a solemn look on her face, but he could not tell what was on her mind. After some time, he said hesitantly, "Only the Shangguan clan's medicine can save Young Master Min. Huo Yao..."
Huo Yao collected her thoughts and said, "Let's put it this way. If Vice Chairman Qin really knows someone from the Shangguan clan, he wouldn't covet my prescription."
Old Mr. Pei was stunned. He had been worried about the prescription since last night. It never occurred to him that if Vice Chairman Qin really had the medicine and knew someone from the Shangguan clan, he would not have tried so hard to get Huo Yao's prescription.
It was indeed a contradiction.
"Regardless, Young Master Min's condition..." Old Mr. Pei opened his mouth to say something, but the door to the private room was pushed open and the waiter came in to serve the dishes.
Old Mr. Pei instantly stopped talking.
After the waiter served the dishes, Huo Yao picked up her chopsticks and said, "Old Mr. Pei, when do you plan to go back?" Huo Yao seemed to have guessed Old Mr. Pei's intention.
Old Mr. Pei did not know why Huo Yao suddenly asked about this. "Not yet."
Huo Yao picked up a piece of pork rib and ate it before she said, "Don't worry about Min Yu's health. I will think of a solution. You should go home soon."
Old Mr. Pei did not pick up his chopsticks. He looked in Huo Yao's direction and smiled bitterly as he shook his head. How could he not understand what she meant?
Now that Pei Rong had chosen to stand on Vice-President Qin's side, how could he leave in peace?
He couldn't let Pei Rong sink deeper into the pit.

After lunch, Huo Yao went back to school.
As soon as she arrived at the classroom, Liu Gan sent her a message asking her to go to his office.
"Sir, did you want to see me?" Huo Yao knocked on the door before long.
Liu Gan raised his head to look at the door. He waved at her and gestured for her to come in. Then he turned the laptop to face Huo Yao. "Here, take a look at this email."
Huo Yao walked over and raised her brow to glance at Old Liu before her eyes landed on the laptop screen. "What email?"
