Zhuo Yun hurriedly spoke the moment Huo Yao started walking away. “Miss Huo, are you going to find Lu Xia? She already left Province Y yesterday by plane.”
Huo Yao halted in her steps. She turned to ask him angrily. “Has she already left?”
Zhuo Yun nodded nervously. “Uh huh. She’s gone.”
Huo Yao frowned. “Do you know where she has gone?”
“She has probably flown back to City S. Her air ticket was bound for City S,” replied Zhuo Yun promptly.
!!
Huo Yao took out her phone and called Chen Ming. She instructed him to locate Lu Xia and apprehend her the moment he found her.
Huo Yao’s face softened up the moment she thought about Mi Wei. Before hanging up the phone, she asked. “Uncle Ming, how’s my friend?”
“Mr. Mi has already been discharged from the hospital. He kept asking about you, so I gave him your number. Didn’t he call you?” asked Chen Ming quizzically.
Huo Yao went quiet briefly before she replied. “In that case, please send him to City S.”
After she was done talking, she put away her phone.
Huo Yao stood where she was motionless. She had lost a lot of weight and her face was unusually pale. There was a profound look on her face marking the calm before a storm.

Before long, Song Ning and Huo Jinyan came back from the cemetery after paying their respect to Old Madam Yang. After discussing it with their daughter, they decided to head back to City S.
Min Yu told Zhuo Yun to change his schedule and went back to City S with Huo Yao and her parents.
Their flight departed at 3:00 pm. By the time they got back to City S, it was not even 6:00 pm. Since it was wintertime, the sky had already turned completely dark.
Huo Tingrui and Huo Yanxi were already waiting for them at the arrival hall. When they saw their parents and little sister, they went toward them.
Huo Tingrui greeted his parents and looked at his little sister’s face. She had clearly lost a lot of weight. He could not help feeling sorry for her loss and embraced her. “My condolences.”
Huo Yao acknowledged him softly. She had lost a lot of weight, but she seemed calm. “I’m fine. Thanks.”
Huo Tingrui pattered her on the shoulder and let her go. He finally noticed Min Yu’s presence and nodded to him mildly.
Min Yu was accustomed to Huo Tingrui’s lack of enthusiasm toward him.
A split second later, Huo Tingrui said, “Thanks for taking care of her.”
Even though he did not like Min Yu, he had to thank him for looking out for his little sister during this time.
“Second Older Brother, it is my job,” replied Min Yu as he nodded.
The moment Min Yu called him ‘Second Older Brother’, Huo Tingrui promptly felt uneasy.
He glanced at his little sister and parents. They had a great impression of Min Yu and he was on the losing end if he wanted to bicker in front of them, so he decided to swallow his words.
Huo Yanxi tightened his fists as they hung from the sides of his body. He glanced at Huo Yao, but he did not try to hug Huo Yao. Instead, he said deeply, “I’m sorry for your loss.”
“Thanks, Big Brother,” replied Huo Yao.
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Huo Yanxi without daring to look at her. He hurriedly turned to help with his parents’ luggage and headed to the parking lot. “Let’s go home.”
They left the airport before long. By the time they got back, an hour had already passed.
Min Yu had gotten a ride from Huo Yanxi. Even though they hardly exchanged a word, the atmosphere did not feel awkward.
After getting out of the car, Song Ning paused and walked up to Min Yu and said gently, “It’s getting late. I reckon you need time to clean up your place. If you like, you can spend the night at our place.”
