Huo Changfeng acknowledged it gently. He leaned into the seat backrest and was unable to calm down after his conversation with Huo Yao.
“I wonder who concealed her information. I checked about her medical knowledge several times, but couldn’t find anything about it.” Chen Ming held the steering wheel with a serious look on his face.
Even if he was unable to find any information about her medical knowledge, it did not mean it wasn’t true. He was simply puzzled that he could not find anything about it.
Chen Ming pondered before a notion suddenly emerged in his mind. He promptly said, “Chief Steward, do you think Master Yulin might have covered up her history?”
Huo Changfeng looked out at the traffic profoundly. Moments later, he said calmly, “It doesn’t matter.”
Chen Ming glanced at Huo Changfeng sideways. Just as he was about to speak, Huo Changfeng’s phone rang. Huo Changfeng raised his hand and gestured for silence before answering the phone.
“… Uh huh. Miss Huo is brilliant. She was easy to get along with and was very confident. She even scored full marks in her exam. Don’t worry. I will take care of everything. Please take care.”
Before long, the caller hung up.
“Was it Master Jinfeng?” asked Chen Ming softly.
Huo Changfeng held his phone before answering Chen Ming after some time. “Uh huh.”
“Master Jinfeng probably called to ask about Miss Huo, right?” said Chen Ming as he smiled. “Although Master Jinfeng has never seen Miss Huo, he cares a lot about her.”
Chen Ming could not help thinking about Lu Xia. “In the past, Master Jinfeng didn’t inquire about Miss Lu Xia at all. From the looks of it, blood is genuinely thicker than water.”
Huo Changfeng’s face remained cold and simply said, “Just drive.’
The moment he finished his sentence, he closed his eyes, indicating clearly that he did not want to chat.
Chen Ming wisely did not continue talking.
**
Huo Yao did not tell anyone that she had encountered Huo Changfeng after she got home.
After Song Ning learned about Huo Yao’s exam scores, she sat on the couch with her husband and went into a daze for almost 30 minutes.
They already knew that Huo Yao was a straight A student, but were blown away by the news that she was the top Arts scholar.
They even went online to find out how much the top scholars from previous years had scored. It was common for the examinees to have full marks for the composition section, but no one ever obtained full marks for the entire paper.
Huo Yao went to the refrigerator to take out a can of drink. After taking a few sips, she headed to the living room and saw her parents staring dead straight at her. She could not help raising her brow. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Song Ning cleared her throat and sounded hoarse as she spoke. “The results are out. Have you checked them online?”
Huo Yao took another sip of her drink slowly before she nodded and acknowledged her.
Song Ning watched as her daughter answered calmly and inexplicably wanted to strangle her. “You got full marks!”
Huo Yao sat on the couch and crossed her legs before she said lazily, “I know.”
Song Ning was speechless.
How could her daughter respond so calmly like it did not matter?
Huo Jinyan suppressed his urge to pummel his daughter for acting so cool about getting full marks. He cleared his throat before pulling his wife’s hand and said, “No one else has ever come first in the exam in our family. This is wonderful news, so we have to celebrate.”
It did not cross Song Ning’s mind to celebrate till her husband mentioned it.
Now that her husband brought it up, she promptly got distracted as she nodded and replied. “We have to hold a grand celebration for this. I am going to draw up a guest list now…”
