Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 1170

Chapter 1170: Agree To Apologize

Huo Yao did not have school the next day since it was Saturday.

Song Ning had placed her phone on the coffee table. When she went upstairs to clean up in the afternoon, her phone rang, but she did not hear it.

Huo Yao was curled up on the couch, sending text messages. She raised her head up slightly and checked the phone screen. She paused for a couple of seconds before she suddenly raised her body.

This number looked awfully familiar.

Huo Yao glanced upstairs before answering the phone.

It was none other than Song Zhi.

Huo Yao said nothing and left Song Zhi to do the talking.

Song Zhi said that he had organized a banquet on behalf of the Song family tonight. He had already invited members of the high society to attend the banquet and he had called to tell Song Ning about it.

In other words, they had acquiesced to Huo Yao’s demands.

Since Song Zhi did not hear any response, he removed his phone from his ear and checked if the phone was still connected.

After confirming the call was connected, he parted his lips wanting to ask if Song Ning would come when he heard a young cool voice coming over the phone.

“What time?” asked Huo Yao mildly.

She was unsurprised by Song Zhi’s call.

Song Zhi and Song Qi wanted to save Old Master Song at all costs, so she knew they were bound to agree to organize a banquet.

However, she was certain that they would not apologize during the event.

Song Zhi looked at his phone in a daze. He clearly did not expect Huo Yao to answer the phone. After snapping out of his surprise, he said, “7:00 pm. Yaoyao, where do you live? I can come over…”

Before he was able to finish his sentence, Huo Yao had already hung up.

When the call ended abruptly, Song Zhi’s face turned stiff.

Song Qi was sitting across from him. A mocking look swept across her eyes.

Song Zhi kept trying to ingratiate himself to Huo Yao because she was acquainted with the chairman of the Apothecaries’ Association. However, Huo Yao did not seem to give a hoot about Song Zhi.

Song Qi pursed her lips and said with a normal expression on her face, “Is it settled?”

“Uh huh.” Song Zhi composed himself and acknowledged nonchalantly. He put away his phone and reminded his little sister. “The banquet is very important. You have to watch your temper.”

Song Qi knew that Song Zhi was still mad about her botching dinner with Song Ning last night. She automatically pointed at her neck and responded mockingly. “I just brought up a few things and Ning’s bodyguard hurt me on my neck. How could I dare to do it again?”

Song Zhi found out about Song Qi’s injury much later. He went quiet briefly and said, “No matter what it is, you have to control yourself. We need Huo Yao’s help if we want to treat our father.”

“I think I should not go tonight. I don’t want to accidentally lose my temper and ruin things this evening,” said Song Qi coldly.

Song Zhi rubbed his brow. “Stop being difficult.”

Song Qi sneered. She did not continue with the subject. Since all the guests tonight were members of high society, she had to attend it.

After hanging up the phone, Huo Yao pondered briefly. She deleted the call history before putting the phone back where it was.

When Song Ning came downstairs. Huo Yao curled back onto the couch.

Song Ning walked into the kitchen to get some warm water. When she went back to the living room, she checked the phone.

Huo Yao glanced at her and said, “Oh yes. Mom, my teacher wants to see me, so I am heading out and won’t be home for dinner.”

Song Ning raised her head quizzically. “It’s the weekend. Does he still want to see you?”

“Uh huh. We made plans to meet a few days ago to discuss some school work.” Huo Yao looked completely normal, so it was impossible to tell if she was lying.

Song Ning was completely unsuspecting. “Fine. Come home when you are done then.”

Huo Yao nodded. She got up from the couch, went up to her room to fetch a jacket, and quickly drove off from the villa.
