Huo Yao held the phone in her hand. Her breathing became a little painful as she heard the last sentence. She interrupted Lei Xiao. "Stop."
As a pauper who had just spent his birthday red packet, he did not deserve to hear about a bonus.
Lei Xiao coughed. He thought he had said too much, so he immediately shut his mouth.
Although Huo Yao looked very young, it was hard for him to treat her like a normal 18-year-old girl given how capable she was.
Therefore, bonuses and whatnot were all tacky worldly possessions.
"I'll treat you to dinner when you arrive in the capital," said Lei Xiao as he changed the subject.
Huo Yao raised her head and looked at the door. She nodded sadly into the phone. She did not continue the conversation with Lei Xiao and quickly ended the call.
Huo Yao changed her clothes and walked out of the room since it was a celebration party.
The party was to be held at the most famous five-star hotel in the city. When Huo Yao arrived with her parents, there was a banner hanging over the entrance. The floor was covered with a red carpet, and the entire hotel was decorated in a festive manner.
It was past 10 pm, and guests had already arrived. Song Ning and Huo Jinyan went to greet the guests and introduce their daughter to their friends.
Huo Yao greeted them briefly. When she saw Min Yu at the door, she paused slightly before she walked over to him. "You're here."
"Uh huh." Min Yu nodded. He was holding a gift in his hand and handed it to her.
Huo Yao raised her brow. "You're too polite."
Min Yu pursed his lips into a faint smile. He stood at the door but did not go in. He raised his head and looked inside before he said, "I have something urgent to attend to today. I'll be leaving in a bit. Help me say sorry to Uncle and Auntie."
There were people going in and out of the door. More guests came in and out of the lobby, and it was bustling.
Huo Yao glanced at Min Yu before she handed the gift to the receptionist. She said, "It's nothing. Let's talk outside?"
Min Yu nodded.
The two of them walked out of the lobby.
The July sun was rather scorching, and it was the hottest time of the year. Min Yu turned to the side and shielded Huo Yao from the sun.
At the roadside not far away, a high-end car stopped, and the window of the front passenger seat slowly rolled down to half.
"Is Big Sister holding the party here?" A woman was sitting in the front passenger seat. She was wearing a pair of sunglasses and her face could not be seen clearly. She looked in the direction of the restaurant's entrance and asked.
"Yes, I have inquired about it. Her daughter became the top scorer in the college entrance examination, so she invited a lot of friends over for dinner today." The supervisor sitting in the driver's seat answered respectfully.
The woman pushed up her sunglasses and pursed her red lips. She was a little surprised. "Top scorer in the college entrance examination?"
"Yes, but she is a top scholar in liberal arts. It is said that she was switched when she was young and raised in the countryside. She only came back last year," the manager whispered.
Upon hearing this, the woman's expression obviously turned a lot more indifferent. Her eyes fell outside the window as she lightly tapped her nail polish finger and said, "Go inside and tell Big Sis that I'll be waiting for her outside."
"Okay." The manager nodded and unbuckled his seat belt. He quickly got out of the car and walked toward the restaurant at a moderate pace.

Over here.
After exchanging a few words with Huo Yao, Min Yu contemplated before he explained. "I'm going back to the capital for a while. I asked Zhuo Yun to prepare the herbs you requested. Make sure to check for deliveries over the next few days."
Huo Yao raised her brow. "Sure."
