Song Ning looked at the middle-aged man blocking their way. He looked vaguely familiar, but she could not recall where she had seen him before. She could not help asking him quizzically. "Who are you?"
"Madam Lu would like to invite you to the cafe in front." The middle-aged man was the butler of the Lu family. Even though his tone and attitude were courteous, the arrogance in his eyes was evident.
Song Ning narrowed her eyes. "Your Madam?"
The Lu family butler nodded and explained calmly. "Madam Lu is Miss Huo Yao's adoptive mother."
Song Ning's face darkened when she heard the butler. "Why is she looking for us?"
"I'm not sure. You will find out when you get there," said the butler unhurriedly. He stood by the side and looked as though he would not give up until the two of them arrived.
Song Ning frowned. She had a terrible impression of He Xiaoman. She pretended to be a high-and-mighty rich lady and was utterly repulsive. Moreover, she had mistreated her daughter in the past.
Song Ning immediately rejected him. "I'm sorry. We don't have time."
The Lu family butler seemed to have expected Huo Yao to turn him down, so he added. "Madam Lu wanted to talk about Miss Huo Yao." Huo Yao nodded.
Song Ning swallowed her words. Huo Jinyan patted her shoulder and turned to look at the Lu family butler. "Since that's the case, let's go."
The butler pursed his lips. He gestured for them to go ahead and lead the way.
Song Ning glanced sideways at her husband and said in a slightly annoyed tone, "I really don't want to see that woman."
Huo Jinyan smiled. "Why don't you wait in the car while I go meet her?"
"Forget it. I want to see what she is up to this time," sneered Song Ning. She turned to follow the butler.
Soon, the two of them walked into the cafe.
There were not many people in the cafe. He Xiaoman was sitting by the window on the right. Song Ning and Huo Jinyan heard He Xiaoman's voice as they approached.
"Old Zhang, go and tell the manager of this restaurant not to let other customers come over and disturb us," He Xiaoman, who had exquisite makeup on her face, instructed the butler indifferently.
Song Ning glanced at He Xiaoman. There was only one word in her mind: Pretentious.
"Yes, Madam." The butler nodded respectfully and walked to the front desk.
After the butler left, He Xiaoman's gaze finally landed on Song Ning. A flash of jealousy flashed across her eyes.
Song Ning had been good-looking when she was young. Now that she was middle-aged, she paid more attention to maintaining her appearance. There were almost no wrinkles on her face. She looked to be in her thirties at most. In addition, she had a very good temperament. She was elegant and generous. She looked more like a rich lady than most rich ladies.
Therefore, He Xiaoman looked down on Song Ning. She was from a poor family, yet she pretended to be a rich lady.
The corners of He Xiaoman's lips twitched as she pointed to the seats opposite her. "Please take a seat and talk. Feel free to order whatever you want to drink."
Song Ning found it funny that He Xiaoman was pretending to be the host. She shook her head and walked over. She pulled out a chair and sat down.
