Song Ning got to work right away. Before long, she took out her notebook and wrote down the names of the guests on it.
She spent the whole night making phone calls.
Huo Yao wanted to tell them not to make it so grand, but when she saw how excited they were, she swallowed her opinion in the end.
Fine. Rich people could do whatever they wanted.
The two of them discussed the guests downstairs. After dinner, she returned to her room. After some thought, she sent a video call to the old lady.
The old lady was watching TV when she called. She was overjoyed when she heard that her granddaughter was the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Tears welled up in her eyes. "... Yao is amazing."
Huo Yao looked at the old lady's spirited face on the screen and raised her brow slightly. "My parents are holding a celebration party for me. They want to bring you to stay with us for a while. Will you come?"
The old lady smiled and shook her head. "No thanks. I'm getting old and can't run anymore. Please thank your parents for me."
Huo Yao tried to persuade her, but the old lady insisted. In the end, she gave up. "Fine. I'll visit you when I'm free."
"Uh huh," replied the old lady gently. The Old Madam nodded softly. Then she thought of something and said, "Oh right, did you bring the jade I asked Little Min to give you during the new year?"
"I left it at home." Huo Yao leaned against the chair lazily. "Is the jade special?"
The old lady went quiet for a second before she said, "Not really. It's just a piece of jade that symbolizes safety. Remember to wear it." She paused before she added. "I just want you to be safe."
"Okay. Got it," replied Huo Yao gently as she tapped her fingers on the table.
They chatted for more than ten minutes before they hung up. Huo Yao placed her phone on the table and contemplated for a while. She opened the drawer next to her and took out the box containing the jade.
The white jade shimmered in a cold light. It was exquisite and looked like a fish. There was nothing special about it.
Huo Yao put the jade back in the box and stopped studying it. She recalled what Uncle Changfeng had told her about her uncle last night. She took out a pen and paper and made a list of medicinal herbs.
Heart conditions were complicated, so she had to be particular when it came to medication. She scribbled on her notebook and filtered through many options. In the end, she made a new list of medicinal herbs. She took a photo and sent it to Min Yu next door.

Downstairs, Song Ning and Huo Jinyan were still discussing dinner plans. Huo Jinyan suddenly recalled that his wife had received a call two days ago. He could not help looking up at her. "You... Aren't the Song family sending people over? Do you want a treat? "
The smile on Song Ning's face disappeared instantly. "Did you hear the call?"
Huo Jinyan nodded. "You didn't close the door when you answered the phone that day. I happened to hear it."
Song Ning remained silent for two minutes before she said coldly, "The Song family broke off all ties with me a long time ago. Don't worry about them."
Huo Jinyan held Song Ning's hand and sighed. "You don't have to worry about me. If you want to meet the Song family, go ahead."
"It's the same whether I see him or not." Song Ning pursed her lips and turned her head away. "Alright, let's not talk about them. They are not important."
After that, she picked up her phone and called her next friend.
Huo Jinyan could only shut his mouth and did not continue the topic.
