Min Yu contemplated for two seconds before he handed the box to Huo Yao. Before he passed it to her, he said, "I can give it to you, but you can't give it back."
Huo Yao glanced at him. "... Got it."
Min Yu placed the box in her hand.
Huo Yao bade him goodnight and left with the box.
Min Yu shook his head gently.
Huo Yao quickly went back to her room and closed the door. She sat on the bed before she opened the box.
There was a small white jade pendant in the box. There were no extra patterns on it, but it looked a little special. It looked like a fish, but it was not a fish.
Huo Yao glanced at it. Judging from the jade's appearance, it was not an invaluable antique.
She quickly put the pendant back in the box and closed the lid. She recalled the conversation she had overheard on the phone earlier and put the box into her suitcase.

Huo Yao stopped tinkering with the medicine furnace for the next two days and kept the old lady company.
The old lady had assumed that her daughter would rush back the next day after she called to question the jade. She seemed to have a lot on her mind, but she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that her daughter did not come back.
After all, she could not bear to let Huo Yao leave so early because she did not know if they would have the chance to meet again.
Huo Yao wanted to book a flight back to City S the next day, but when she saw the old lady in a low mood, she postponed it.
On the day of her departure, the old lady woke up at 5am and went upstairs to Huo Yao's room. She secretly stuffed a booklet into Huo Yao's hands. "Yao, this is my savings over the years and the money you gave me. I'm saving it for you."
Huo Yao leaned against the headboard. She did not look at how much money there was in the booklet. Instead, she pushed the booklet back to the old lady. "I have money to use."
The old lady looked aggrieved and said, "It's a gift from me. Are you saying that you don't want it because it's too little?"
Huo Yao pressed her forehead.
"I can't do anything about it. Apart from my retirement salary, I don't have any other source of income. I don't have any more money..." The old lady began to mutter softly.
Huo Yao felt a headache coming on. She sighed and hurriedly took the booklet back. "Stop talking. I want it."
The old lady pursed her lips in satisfaction. "That's more like it."
Soon, she nagged for a while and went downstairs to prepare breakfast for them.
Huo Yao was no longer sleepy. After the old lady left, she got out of bed and packed her belongings. She placed the bankbook in her bag and flipped through it.
Looking at the total amount of 350,000 yuan and thinking about his shriveled wallet, he fell silent.
Even the old lady was richer than her.

The flight was at noon, so the group of people left the old lady's house after breakfast.
Cheng Ming was the one who came to pick them up. He played the role of a chauffeur very well. Huo Yao even chatted with him on the way.
Cheng Ming was flattered. After sending her to the city airport, he reported his work to the general director. Of course, he also specially explained that the young lady was a very approachable person.
This made Huo Changfeng a little unhappy, so he said over the phone, "There's a project in Y Province that needs to be followed up. You can stay there."
Fu County, where the old lady lived, was under the jurisdiction of Y Province.
Cheng Ming had already booked a flight back to City S at 1 pm. "???"
What did he do wrong?
