Although the comments were similar to the ones on WeChat Moments, Meng Ying felt like she was in a whirlwind.
Because this cousin of hers never praised others.
Meng Ying touched her nose. She recalled that she had wanted to introduce Huo Yao to him, so she tapped on her chat box and sent him a message.
[My classmate is prettier.]
The moment Meng Ying sent the message, she saw that her cousin was typing... Hence, she turned away from the screen and waited for his reply.
However, after two minutes, the status bar no longer showed 'Typing …', but she did not receive a reply from her cousin.
After a moment of confusion, she typed two words: [Cousin?]
The reply Meng Ying received was a red exclamation mark and a concerned message from the system, "The message has been sent, but was rejected by the other party."
Meng Ying, "???"
What was going on? Her cousin had blacklisted her?
Everything was fine when she sent the first message!
Meng Ying was dumbfounded and did not understand what was going on.
Not long after, the two of them finished eating.
The restaurant manager asked for Meng Ying's phone number before they left and registered a VIP card for her on the spot. He was all smiles and polite the entire time.
Meng Ying felt like she was on cloud nine after receiving a VIP card, which was even more luxurious than a VIP card.
She had researched this restaurant online and knew how much she had to spend in order to get a membership, not to mention an upgraded VIP card...
Huo Yao was waiting for the car by the roadside. She had just received a call from her father. She turned to look at Meng Ying. "Are you okay going home?"
Meng Ying looked at Huo Yao and hurriedly shook her head. "It's fine. Sister Big Shot, you can leave first. I'll take a cab home."
Huo Yao placed her phone in her pocket and acknowledged her softly.
Half an hour later, at the Huo residence.
Huo Yao saw a pair of unfamiliar leather shoes at the entrance as soon as she entered. She paused for two seconds before she unhurriedly took out a pair of slippers and put them on.
Lin Shuwen's familiar face entered her field of vision when she entered the living room. Huo Yao narrowed her eyes slightly. Her fair face looked slightly cold. She quickly composed herself and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm home."
Song Ning and Huo Jinyan raised their heads and acknowledged Huo Yao in unison before Huo Jinyan said, "Yaoyao, Mr. Lin is here to see you."
Lin Shuwen stood up and looked at Huo Yao with a faint smile. "Miss Huo, we meet again."
Huo Yao's eyes landed on Lin Shuwen's face. Her eyes were calm and her tone was clearly unwelcoming. "What's the matter?"
Lin Shuwen could tell that Huo Yao was unhappy, especially since she exuded a faint aura of hostility.
Lin Shuwen was secretly surprised. He didn't expect an ordinary high school student to have such a strong aura.
He narrowed his eyes, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, coughed, and pointed to the pile of exquisitely wrapped gifts on the coffee table, saying, "My husband specially asked me to send these to you. Thank you for saving …"
Before Lin Shuwen could finish, Huo Yao interrupted him with a frown. "There's no need for that. You have already paid. You don't have to come all the way here to thank us."
Huo Yao was not surprised that Lin Shuwen came knocking on her door. After all, Old Mr. Pei had mentioned that Lin Shuwen had a special background, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to investigate someone.
However, she didn't like to be disturbed so abruptly.
